Rainbow. Yes, Rainbow seemed to have inherited some of her mother’s strange sayings. She is always saying ‘Peace bro’ and giving you hippy cuddles. Sunshine wanted to bring along her pilot Johnnie because she has a habit of day-dreaming when she is flying and ends up in another shopping place all-together. She hoped to bring along some hippy drums to tap out some tunes. Yes, they were going to have a right old sing-song. They decided to go on this adventure the following day as no-one could wait as the excitement was literally boiling over. Olive thought it may be wise to pack some ear-plugs and some sun glasses just in case things got a little rowdy. She had been on one of these expeditions with Rainbow’s mamma before but, she had to admit to the feeling of butterflies in her stomach, the anticipation of it all was just so uplifting.
CHAPTER 3
SHOPPING ADVENTURE
Destiny decided it was safer to get Cielo to drop them off in the Sky-bus at Sunshine’s. It wasn’t as smooth as the sky-train but, it would get them to the sky-mobile pad quicker and everyone was eager to get shopping. As they got out of the Sky-Bus, Destiny very cleverly (I might add) gave Cielo a big kiss and at the same time managed to swipe his fairy credit card from his back pocket. Up, up and away everyone was shouting as the sky-mobile lifted into the air. Destiny had said to Sunshine before the departure ‘‘I don’t want to be a pain but, would it be possible if you don’t smoke on this flight as I am so totally allergic to the smoke.’’ ‘‘Yes, that’s cool’’ she said. Destiny smiled and thought to herself ‘does that mean she won’t or is she just saying the air-conditioning is working?’ Sunshine had a bucket full of daisies for the daisy chains. She must have been up early because she already wore a string of them around her head along with some wide bottomed flares, long flowing black hair and big hoop ear-rings. Rainbow was dressed in every colour you can imagine. Willow was afraid you wouldn’t be able to see her because she would blend into the colours of the sky-mobile but, no doubt you would hear her as she decided she was going to be the one to play the hippie drums. Come on then everyone, let’s sing ‘Peace to the world.’ Everyone started singing ‘Peace to the world.’ Willow was thinking I don’t know this one but, I will join in anyway and just hum my way through it. ‘Peace to the world and joy to all men’ she started to hum. Luna brought out his mouth-organ. Willow thought to herself this is going to be the best day ever!!!!!! When they arrived at Arcadia they thought they were going to have trouble landing because the ticket collecting fairy flew up to them in his sky-mobile and said ‘you should have pre-arranged your landing.’ ‘Oh great’ thought Olive ‘all we need!’ Sunshine gave him the peace sign and said ‘‘peace man’’ flashing that huge smile of hers and he reluctantly waved them through. Thank the fairy God for small mercies! ‘‘The first shop I am going to hit is Wings & Dazzle’’ shouted Rainbow. ‘‘I love that shop. It’s got some really cool gear! Come on let’s run and try to lose the two mothers!’’ Destiny whispered in Olive’s ear ‘‘please do not leave me with the hippy!’’ ‘‘I will buy you a sparkly bag to go with your shoes!’’ she said through gritted teeth. With that Olive linked arms with her mamma and off they walked. Luna and Willow followed also linking arms. Sunshine and Rainbow glided on by singing ‘Peace and love to all.’ They hadn’t been in Wings & Dazzle long when Sunshine spotted a big fringed bag with a peace sign on the front. ‘‘ Mio Dio ! OMG’’ she shouted. I just have to have it, it is perfect and it was! To be
