going to happen to the lookalike rabbit now that The Great Maldini had fled?
    ‘You can be my bunny,’ Lily said, putting me down to pick up the grey rabbit and rubbing her face against its soft fur. ‘I will call you Flopsy.’
    ‘No!’ chorused Susie, EE and Mrs Wilson all at the same time.
    ‘That’s what we called Harriet when we first got her,’ EE went on with a shudder. ‘And we can’t keep this rabbit, Lily. One bunny is quite enough.’

    ‘I’ve always wanted a pet of my own,’ Gloria said thoughtfully, reaching across to lift the rabbit out of Lily’s arms. ‘Maybe I can give Flopsy a home.’ She stroked Flopsy under her chin and the bunny closed her eyes happily. She didn’t even seem to mind her new name. What can I say? It takes all sorts.
    ‘G-g-great idea,’ EE stuttered, looking a bit like he wanted Gloria to tickle him under the chin.

    Mrs Wilson threw him a frosty look. ‘I see you’re still ga-ga.’ EE went red. ‘I don’t know what you mean.’
    ‘Hmmmmm,’ Mrs Wilson said, raising an eyebrow. ‘Susie and I need to have a long chat about exactly what’s been going on.’
    Susie dropped me a great big wink. ‘Oh, you know what they say, Mum. What happens on tour, stays on tour!’
    She wouldn’t get any arguments from me. The sooner I forgot about The Great Maldini again, the better. EE seemed to agree too.
    ‘I’ve been thinking about Harriet’s hutch,’ he said as we walked towards the exit. ‘Maybe we’ll see if the pet shop has a Mulberry Mansion in stock now.’
    Susie squealed with delight, but she wasn’t as pleased as I was. I’d been looking forward to getting back to my own hutch and now that I knew I was getting an upgrade, I was even keener. Being a Stunt Bunny on tour was all very well, but there really was no place like home.
