Viren hadn’t gone to bed at all. He had sneaked out again to see Comet. She couldn’t suppress a prickle of resentment. It was starting to look as if she’d never be alone with Comet.

Then she had an idea. There was only one thing to do

Preeti woke with a start to find the bedroom still dark and the house silent.

She dressed quickly, being extra careful not to make any noise, and crept downstairs. Grabbing the nearest coat, she threw it on and then thrust her feet into a pair of worn old boots before tiptoeing outside.

The bright moonlight cast midnight-blue shadows across the snow and made it easy to see as she went down to the barn.

Comet gave a soft neigh of welcome as she slipped inside. “You are alone?”

“Yes, at last! Hi, Comet.” Preeti reached up to stroke his silky cheek. “We’ve got lots of time to go out looking for Destiny before everyone wakes up! Let’s go!”

“Thank you. Climb onto my back, Preeti.” Comet tossed his head with eagerness, his eyes flashing.

Preeti nervously climbed up and sat astride him. It had been forever since her last riding lesson, and anyway, she wasn’t used to riding bareback. But the moment she twined her hands in his thick gray mane, Comet’s warm magic seemed to spread around her, and she felt completely safe and secure.

Comet moved forward and in two strides reached the closed barn door. “Wait! I’ll open it . . .” Preeti began.

Then she gasped as, with a flash of bright violet sparks, Comet gave a mighty leap and floated through the door in a swoosh of glittering mist that left the door unchanged. They were soon galloping across the snow, the magic pony’s shining hooves barely brushing the white surface and leaving no tracks.
