The bouncy castle cat catastrophe. It started with a Fort Alice and Freddy were building it in the living room using all the cushions, chairs and blankets they could find. This is the best one yet. Freddy declared as he crawled inside Alice followed, dragging a pile of storybooks and a soft blanket. We should stay in here forever. They settled inside, munching on fruit and reading stories when Alice spotted something very odd at the back of the fort. Is that a curtain she asked? Tucked behind the couch cushions. Barely visible. Was a rainbow colored curtain with a soft glow. It definitely wasn't here before. Freddie whispered. They exchanged a look, the kind that said, we should see what that is. Alice reached out and pulled it aside. Whoosh, the two tumbled forward, somersaulting through the curtain and landing with a soft. They blinked, then blinked again. They weren't in the living room anymore. They were in a giant bouncy castle. The floor bounced under their feet. The walls wobbled and even the ceiling jiggled a bit. Okay, Sid Freddy trying to stand up and immediately flopping over. This is amazing, but it got even weirder than that. The bouncing castle was full of cats and kittens, loads of them, fluffy ones, stripy ones, sleepy ones, bouncing ones everywhere. One really cute cat did a flip and landed right into Alice's arms. This is the best day of my life, she said. But then the cat started to fly around. One floated gently past Freddy's nose like a furry balloon, another zoomed in circles, pause spread wide like wings. Freddy caught one in midair, and it purred like a tiny motorboat. Okay, Sid Freddy. How are they doing that? That's when they heard the flutter of small wings outside one of the bouncy castle windows. Moonlight very fern zipped in wobbling slightly on a flying scooter. She had a wand sticking out of her hair, like she'd forgotten it was there. This has all gone wrong. The fairy cried. Alice and Freddy stared. This, this castle used to be my house. She said, looking distraught, you live in a bouncy castle. Asked Freddy, impressed. No moonlight, groan. I was trying a new spell to clean my windows and accidentally turned my whole house into a bouncy castle and it sucked up all the cats in the village too, and sent them here. Why are they flying? Asked Alice, who was starting to lift off the ground herself, I don't know, said moon fly. They were all just bouncing at first, and now they're up, up, up in the air. If I don't fix it soon, they'll start orbiting the moon. Freddie bounced closer so you can reverse the spell. You can fix this. Moon fly. Winced. I lost the spell card. I think a kitten might've sat on it or eaten it alice and Freddy looked around. There were a lot of kittens. We'll help you, Alice said. Freddy nodded. We're great at finding lost stuff We once found a sandwich under the couch from three years ago. We didn't eat it. The search began. They bounced from corner to corner. Well, more like B winged. They found a kitten wearing tiny glasses, one curled up in a cereal bowl, and another who had figured out how to operate the popcorn machine. There was popcorn everywhere, but no spell card. Try looking from above called moon fly. As she zoomed in loops overhead, Freddie and Alice climbed up one of the bouncy castle walls. Found it. Alice shouted, grabbing a crumpled glitter dusted card from beneath a snoozing furry kitten. Moonlight zoomed over, flipped the card upside down. Then right side up. Yes. This is it. She flicked her wand, musher a few words, then warned all the kittens. Alice scooped one up. Freddy grabbed two. The rest Harvard patiently. Poof. The bouncy castle floor turned into soft moss. The walls of the bouncy castle turned back into moonlight's toto house. The flying kittens floated gently down and immediately began grooming themselves as if nothing odd had happened. Moonlight's house was back small and tidy with fines curling up the side and a green door just slightly open. You did it. Alice clapped nose ed moon fly. We did it. Moonlight, began delivering all the cats and kittens back to their homes on her scooter. It took a lot of trips back and forth. Freddie and Alice grinned. It was a very funny thing to see when they were all safely home. It was time for Alice and Freddy to go home too. They walked around together, searching for a few minutes before they reached the rainbow curtain. Moonlight, handed them each a tiny badge made from an acorn for bravery, she said. And for being a good friend Alice and Freddy went back through the curtain arriving back inside their fort, everything looked just as it had, except for the kitten fluff on Alice's sleeve, their new badges and the faint smell of popcorn. Alice peaked at the back of the fort. The rainbow curtain was gone. Did that really happen? Freddie asked. Alice shrugged, I think so. They collapsed happily onto their pillows, laughing about the fun they had just had on their furry adventure. The end.
