Chapter Two

10 minutes later, the 3 girls were done reading books.

"Hey" Raspberry said. "We better start cleaning up. Plum Pudding's coming to spend the night with me and Raspberry."

Apple replied, "guess I better go so you can set up."

Blueberry commented, "no. Why don't you stay with us?"

Apple answered, "I guess. If it'll take my mind off that mean bully. Maybe I can help you clean up as well."

Raspberry commented, "totally. A little girl power can so help clean this mess up." As a result, the girls got to work. Putting the books back and cleaning the floor even brought out some new moves.

Blueberry giggled before asking, "any of you think this can be a new dance?"

Apple responded, "it could be. Whether it is or not, I love this".

The second they finished, the girls decided to rest up for a bit. It wasn't until around 6:00 when a knock was heard at the door. The girls woke up to the knocking.

"Hello" a voice from outside said. "It's me, Plum Pudding? The sleepover?"

Blueberry said, "I got it. It's Plum." She opened the door and said hi.

"Hi Blueberry" Plum said. "This is going to be fun".

By the time the clock hit 7:10, the girls were already in their pajamas.

"I can see why you love reading so much, Blueberry" Plum said. "I love this story".

Blueberry thanked her. "I'm getting a little hungry after all that reading."

Plum replied, "no problem. I brought some pizza to enjoy." She handed out the plates for everyone.

While enjoying their pizza, Plum said to the others, "so girls; I heard something about one of you not wanting Raspberry around. What is up with that?"

Apple then suggested, "ask Cherry Jam's manager" before opening her laptop. She showed them the mean things the manager said.

"Hang on" Apple said. "There's a new one. Dear Plum Pudding, take your dancing somewhere else because it's trash. Sincerely, Cherry's manager."

Plum too got upset. "My dancing is not trash. I'll prove it."

She turned on Cherry Jam's hit "Anything is Possible". Throughout the song, she unleashed some wonderful moves that got the others joining too.

When the song ended, Blueberry replied "that was fun."

Plum commented "told you my dancing don't stink. I want to have a word with her."

Apple replied, "we can go after breakfast tomorrow." The others agreed to it.

Later that night, Apple snuck downstairs to get a late night drink.

"Apple?" she winced before turning to see who it was. It was Raspberry.

"You're up late."

"Just a little bad dream. That's all" Apple replied.

"Still got your mind on that bully?" Raspberry asked. Apple nodded.

"It caused me to have the bad dream. In it, what she said made it onto public television, and everyone stopped reading about my adventures. It's like that one thing she said ruined my life."

Raspberry hugged Apple as her way of showing how sorry she was. "It's gonna be alright my dear friend. We're gonna get through this."
"Are you sure" Apple asked. "What if the bullying gets worse before it gets better?"

"Believe you can pull back" Raspberry said. "I'll sleep closer to you for support".

Apple thanked Raspberry by hugging her. The 2 girls then went back upstairs to return to their slumber.
