Chapter Six

Happy Birthday to Clue!

“Hey, Toby!” George shouted. “Where did you get the unicorn hair?”

“Du-uh!” Toby shouted back. “From a unicorn!”

“Can we see it, please?” Nancy asked, stepping forward. But Toby spun on his heel and took off running.

“Get him!” George shouted. She dropped the bundle of clothes she was holding and chased Toby.

“I’m not dropping my clothes on the dirty ground!” Bess cried.

Neither would Nancy. So with bundles in their arms Nancy and Bess joined George in the chase. They didn’t get very far as their long skirts tangled around their ankles.

“Whoa!” Nancy cried as she tripped and fell.

“Ow!” Bess screamed as she tumbled to the ground.

George stopped running. Groaning under her breath, she ran back to help her friends up.

“Our hands were full,” Bess complained. “We couldn’t hold up our long skirts.”

“I told you to wear a tunic and tights instead,” George said, and groaned.

“Now Toby got away!”

“At least we know he has unicorn hair,” Nancy said. “And there’s only

one unicorn we know.”

“Sparkle,” Bess declared.

While Nancy and Bess dusted themselves off, Mrs. Fayne walked over.

“Do you like our clothes, Aunt Louise?” Bess asked, twirling around.

“Lady Sue and Lady Inez let us borrow them for free.”

“How nice of them,” Mrs. Fayne said. She wiggled her car keys in her hand. “I have to go back to the house to pick up some pies. Want to come with me?”

Nancy smiled to herself. This was their big chance!

“The birthday party,” Nancy whispered to her friends.

“Oh, right,” George whispered back. She smiled at her mother and said,

“Mom, can you please drop us off at Destiny Delgado’s house on the way?

We want to wish her a happy birthday.”

“And look for some clues along the way,” Nancy said superquickly so they wouldn’t be lying.

“I once catered a party at the Delgados’, so I know where they live,” Mrs.

Fayne said. “But do you have invitations for Destiny’s party?”

The girls exchanged worried looks. There it was. The I word.

“Um, not exactly, Mrs. Fayne,” Nancy said. “But if you drop us off and pick us up on your way back to the fair, we’ll have enough time to say happy birthday and won’t stay too long.”

“Okay, then,” Mrs. Fayne said with a nod.

“Yippee!” Bess cheered with a little hop.

The girls followed Mrs. Fayne to the van. Nancy and Bess carefully lifted their skirts to climb into the backseat. George jumped in after them.

“If we don’t find Sparkle at Destiny’s house, we’ll look for Toby later,”

Nancy said.

“When we’re all wearing pants!” George declared.

Mrs. Fayne drove the short distance to Destiny’s. Nancy had seen the house before, so she knew what to expect: a mansion.

After checking out the fountain in the front yard, filled with real fish, Mrs.

Fayne rang the doorbell. Instead of ding-dong it played the tune “Happy Birthday to You.”

“How did they do that?” George whispered.
