Molly stood in the doorway, glaring at us. “Remember, half of this room is mine and you’re not to touch anything.”

“Yeah, yeah, you already told us fifty times before,” said Kenny and she got up and closed the door on her. For a change Molly didn’t open it and start up again.

We were dying to talk about what had happened, but we knew she’d be standing outside ear-wigging. So Kenny got up and put on her cassette player really loud and we huddled together on her bed and whispered.

“That was a lucky escape,” I said. “It’s a good job Rosie spotted the cakes.”

“And you got rid of the evidence,” said Rosie.

“I feel really bad about my dad,” said Kenny.

Lyndz said, “Yeah, so do I.” In fact we all did. None of us liked going to the dentist.

“And we still haven’t got our revenge on you-know-who.” Kenny pointed to the door.

Somehow making an apple pie bed in the morning seemed a pathetic idea. But later on we came up with a much better one. I’ll tell you how it happened.

About half-past six Kenny’s mum called us down for tea. She’d made us vegetable lasagne which was de-licious. Fortunately Molly the Monster didn’t eat with us, because she’d taken herself off to bed. She said she felt ill. Well, she couldn’t blame it on our cakes because she hadn’t touched them or her orange juice. She didn’t really look ill. Kenny said it was just an excuse to have their mum running up and downstairs after her.

Emma and her friend Hayley were going to cook for themselves later on. They were making chicken masala, which I didn’t fancy in the least, but then I’m a vegetarian, but the afters, hot fudge bananas, looked scrummy. They said they might save us some, if we kept out of their way.

While we were still eating there was a phone call from Kenny’s dad to say he’d got his tooth fixed and he was going to stay a bit longer and have a cup of coffee with Herman. Then about half an hour later there was another call to say he’d been bleeped so he was going on now to see a patient and he’d be home later.

After we’d finished eating we carried the dishes through to the kitchen. Kenny’s mum loaded them into the dishwasher and then sent us through to the lounge because Emma and Hayley were already starting their cooking and it isn’t a very big kitchen.

Over the back of a chair in the lounge was one of the hairdressing gowns Kenny’s mum uses, so I just threw it over my head and crept up behind Fliss, pretending to be a ghost, and gave her the fright of her life. And that was how we got the idea.

“That’s it, that’s it,” Kenny started to squeal. Then she lowered her voice. “Come on, let’s go upstairs.” We all scooted up to her room where she outlined her plan. It was ace. We were so excited we were hopping around the bedroom rubbing our hands.
