shall all write and explain. Tell the truth.”
    â€œBut… there isn’t time!” said Kakko with impatience. “You remember last time. If I had waited…”
    â€œThere is always time to do what is right,” said her nan.
    â€œSo, first things first,” ordered Jalli. “Let’s go and see what’s in the little shed.”
    â€œExciting or what!” said Kakko, leaping to her feet. The young people didn’t need a second invitation. They charged out into the garden in their pyjamas.
    In the shed they found two cases and five small piles of clothes. There was also a packet with money in it. Jalli picked it up and looked at the notes.
    â€œI think I know these. I’ve seen some like this before. I recognise the sort of script. I think this is the place with the Fellowship Group. You know, with Tod and Kakko – the ‘Kakko’ you were named after, Kakko.”
    â€œWow! You mean I’m going to see the person whose name I share?”
    â€œMaybe. If she’s still around… and this is the place I think it is.”
    â€œI bet it’s by the sea!” exclaimed Shaun. “There’s beach shorts here.”
    â€œAnd another pair,” declared Bandi, “and a cool T-shirt.”
    â€œVery summery,” said Jalli. “There are women’s shorts too! And a gorgeous top. And this pile is… definitely for you, Kakko.”
    â€œLet me guess, Kakko, there are swimming things,” said Jack.
    â€œHow’d you know, Dad?”
    â€œThe briefest thing you will ever have worn in public. Am I right? At least you don’t have a massive bruise to show off.”
    â€œDad?”
    â€œIt’s alright Kakko. Dad’s reminiscing. I had a bruise when we first went to this place (if it’s where we think it is) and I wore my first bikini there.”
    â€œOh, right…” said Kakko a bit confused.
    â€œWell let’s get on with changing then,” said Jalli, “then we will all write letters to whoever is expecting us tomorrow to say we’ve been summoned unexpectedly to somewhere else through a portal and we don’t know how long we’ll be away. And we’re very sorry to let people down. OK? Off you go!”
    â€œMuch more organised than we were when we found our first white gate,” observed Jack quietly. “We had had our first adventure, and our first kiss before we told anybody else about the gates.”
    â€œSecond,” said Jalli. Jack looked bemused.
    â€œSecond kiss,” explained Jalli. “We kissed twice in the garden before you saw me onto the bus in Wanulka. Do you remember?”
    â€œSecond kiss,” smiled Jack. “You were counting? How many is it to date?”
    â€œOne more than it was a moment ago,” said Jalli engaging him in lover’s kiss.
    â€œOh, sor-ry!” exclaimed Kakko reappearing at the door, “…but if you do choose to snog in the garden.”
    â€œI don’t care where,” said her mother. “And, besides, it’s not snogging!”
    â€œSure looked like it to me!”
    â€œOK,” laughed Jack. “We’re off to get ready!”
    â€œThat girl!” sighed Jalli. “That girl is quite…”
    Jack took hold of his wife and declared, “I can’t concentrate. Come here.” And he collected Jalli into his gentle arms and kissed her again. “God bless our venture,” he murmured.

    Twenty minutes later they were all dressed in their various clothes and were sitting at the table eating breakfast together. Matilda collected the various notes and surveyed the addresses. “OK, I’ll take the bus and get these to all the right people before the morning is out.”
    â€œLet

go over to the college. I can manage that far,” said Momori.
    â€œSure?” asked Matilda.
    â€œQuite sure. I can take it very steady.”
