The whirly wash a whirl. Alice carefully buckled her seatbelt and glanced beside her. Are you ready for the sparkle adventure, in the seat. Freddy was already pretending to drive gripping his invisible steering wheel. With wild zooming sounds. Room, room lookout, mud monsters. Mum chuckled from the front. All right, zoomies, we're nearly at the super sudsy Sparkle wash. It's the funnest car wash in town. Maybe even the whole world. Freddy bounced in his seat. Does it have lasers? Hmm said Mom peering at the sign. Well, it has brushes, bubbles, foam, and squirters, but no actual lasers. I think. Sorry, Freddy looked disappointed for a moment, then perked up. Maybe they can't mention the lasers because they're secret sparkle tech. The car rolled gently onto the slow moving track. Big spinny brushes waiting ahead, like colorful candy canes. Water sprayed in misty arches. A rainbow of foam began to slide down the windscreen. Ooh, Alice pressed her nose to the window. It's starting. Look at that bubble. It's shaped like a penguin. Freddy Squinted. Nah, that's a dragon. Totally a dragon. The car bumped st. Tightly as it moved forward. A low humming sound filled the car. Not scary, but exciting. It sounded like the car was purring like a kitten just then something sparkly landed in between the kids with a thud, glitter puffed everywhere and a little voice ground. Oh, ouch. Every single time Moon fly fairy fern sat up with one wing caught in an empty, crisp packet. Why do I always crash into food? Alice giggled and reached down here. Let me help you. That crisp is stuck to your wand. Moonlight, tugged it free and took a tiny bite. Mm, crunchy. Just then the car began to shudder and shake. Freddie pointed, the brushes are coming. Get ready for the foam invasion, swish swirl, spin. Gigantic pink brushes twirled past the windows. Then click. The radio sounded fuzzy. Buttons on the dashboard blinked like big circle eyes. The steering wheel gave a wobbly wiggle, a voice echoed from the air vents. Welcome to the whirly. Wash a whirl. Check that your seatbelt is fastened. We'll be taking off shortly. Alice blinked? Did the car adjust talk? Moonlight. Stared at her wand. Oops. I might have zapped something on my way down. The car began to rumble. Freddy shrieked. Hold on to your underpants. Lift off in 3, 2, 1. Whoosh. Up into the sky shot the family car. Trailing bubbles like fizzy lemonade outta the windows. Clouds puffed by like marshmallows. Rubber duckies flapped past wearing sunglasses. A sign, floated nearby, saying Sudsy skyland. Next up, beware of the bubbly bumps. They looped through a swirl of colorful brushes and landed softly on foamy bubbles. A bunch of spongy creatures bounced over on springy feet. They were bright blue and smelled like shampoo. How buzzled, the tallest sponge who wore a bubbly crown. I am sir. Our sparkle machine has gone wonky and now it's raining shampoo all over the sky. I think the problem is the Sparkle nozzle. It's blocked with dirt. Ew, dirt. They all cried. Moonlight. Tried to fly up, but bashed into a drifting towel. Don't worry, I'll fix it. Ooh, maybe not yet. Alice looked around calmly. We need something small to poke the sparkle nozzle. Freddy, do you still have that straw from lunch? Freddie proudly pulled it out of his pocket. It was slightly chewed, but still good. Alice took it gently, tooked it inside the sparkle pipe with moonies wand, and gave it a wiggle. Zap, splosh fizz. The leaking stopped. Then the machine burst out A rainbow ribbon that flushed across the sky, the sponge creatures cheered. Sir Sulo placed a bubbly crown on Alice's head. You are now princess of the sparkly swirls. Freddie got a golden sponge of honor and tried to eat it. Eh, this tastes like soap. Moon fly got trapped in a soap bubble and floated upside down. Well, this is relaxing. I could get used to this. Suddenly out of nowhere appeared a baby sheep bleeping softly. It licked Freddy's cheek, and he noticed that it smelled like conditioner. He burst into giggles. This place is weird, but I love it. Beep beep. The car gave a cheery hunk return trip begins in five four. Alice quickly hugged suds a lot. Thanks for the adventure. Then whoosh back through the clouds, down, down through a bubble tunnel, spinning gently into the normal car wash bay. The car gave a soft pump and stopped. The brushes did one last spin. Mom turned around like nothing had happened. Well, all clean smells lemony in here, doesn't it? What have you two been up to? Freddy Shrugged. Just a normal wash. Nothing weird. Alice smiled with a bit of extra sparkle. Glitter. Puffed softly between them as Moonlight vanished with a giggle. Alice took Freddy's hand. Adventures are the best. She said kindly. But I'm glad we're back now. The end.
