to Jenny. Ithad only made things a hundred times worse and now she didn’t know how to make them better.
    She sighed. It was no good, she couldn’t get to sleep. Sadie switched on her bedside lamp and shook Flame gently.
    ‘Flame? Are you asleep?’ she whispered.
    He sat up and shook himself. ‘Is something wrong, Sadie?’ he miaowed softly.
    ‘I can’t stop thinking about Jenny. How can I make her believe that I really want to work with her?’
    Suddenly she thought of something. ‘I know what to do! But I’m going to need lots of help. Listen, Flame…’

    Flame pricked up his ears as Sadie outlined her plan. ‘When shall we do this?’ he asked solemnly.
    ‘Right now! There won’t be anyone about.’ Sadie slipped out of bed and started getting dressed. ‘We’ll have to be really quiet. If Mum and Dad discover that I’ve gone out in the middle of the night, I’ll be grounded for a year.’
    Sadie quickly grabbed a spare sheet from the airing cupboard and rolled itup. She crept downstairs with Flame and went outside. The street was very quiet and a bit spooky with only the light from the few street lamps.
    Sadie shivered. She was really glad that Flame was with her.
    With Flame bounding beside her, Sadie jogged the short distance to the circus. ‘We need somewhere where we won’t be seen if any cars pass by. Let’s go into the alleyway where that big dog came from.’
    Flame mewed in agreement.
    In the alleyway, Sadie shook out the sheet and laid it on the ground. ‘OΚ. It needs to be big and colourful if we want everyone to notice it.’
    ‘That is no problem!’ Flame’s fluffyblack fur began fizzing all over with bright sparks.
    Sadie felt a familiar tingling sensation down her spine as Flame raised a tiny paw. A shower of glitter shot into the air and then trickled down on to the sheet. The sheet rippled and began to grow bigger and bigger until it was a huge oblong shape.
    Flame’s face crinkled in concentration and then suddenly – splatter! Bright-blue and yellow dye slashed across the white cotton from out of nowhere. Whoosh! Fringed gold braid snaked around the edges. Crackle! Big red sequins popped down one by one, making big, fancy letters spread across the full length of the sheet.
    ‘Wow! That’s fantastic – even betterthan I’d imagined. Thank you so much, Flame!’
    ‘I am glad you are pleased,’ Flame mewed proudly.
    ‘Now we have to fix it to the wall somehow,’ Sadie said.
    ‘Leave this to me.’ Flame sent another glowing cloud of sparks into the air.
    The sparks divided up and formed four shapes like glittery hands. Sadie watched in amazement as the magic hands each grabbed a corner of the banner and rose into the night air.
    She and Flame ran out of the alleyway. The banner floated towards the circus, where the hands placed it against the wall. It hung there as if held in place by superglue. Their job done, the sparkly hands dissolved andshowered down on Sadie and Flame.
    Sadie looked up at the banner as the sparkles rained down around her. ‘Well, if that doesn’t bring Jenny round, nothing will! Thanks for helping me,’ she said to Flame, stifling a yawn. ‘I think I’ll be able to sleep now. I just hope we can creep back into the house without anyone seeing us.’

    Flame grinned and once more his whiskers crackled. There was a bright-blue flash.
    Sadie felt something soft and cool against her cheek. She pushed herself away and stared – it was her pillow! She was in her own bed. The duvet dipped as Flame jumped up and settled down beside her. In no time at all, Sadie fell into a deep sleep.

    High up on the circus wall the huge banner fluttered, with the evening sun twinkling on its shiny braid and glittering red letters. It read:
    ‘The Amazing Jenny and Sadie. Come and see this brand-new act at the carnival.’
    As Sadie and Flame turned the corner, they almost bumped into asmall crowd of kids staring up at it. Sadie saw that Jenny and
