Star Babies

Star babies, Twinkle and Sparkle,  lived in the sky at Honeycombe Hill.

They played at night when the sky was dark and the world was asleep.

Sometimes, if Mrs Bee or one of the Beezles were still awake, they would shoot across the sky, waving as they went.

One night Twinkle whizzed across the sky to meet Sparkle.

"Hiya Sparkle!" she called. "What are you doing tonight?"

"Well" Sparkle replied "I'm either going to dance across the blue velvety sky, or I might go swing from the moon. I haven't decided yet"

Sparkle was very small and very very bossy! Twinkle on the other hand was just a little bigger than Sparkle and very friendly.

Twinkle's favourite game was bouncing on the evening clouds. It was great fun! She could bounce really high now and wasn't scared at all.

Sparkle liked bouncing too, but her favourite game was swinging from the moon.

"Right" said Sparkle. "Lets zoom over to the moon and play at swinging for a while. Then if we get tired of that we can bounce on the night clouds"
"Oh alright then" replied Twinkle, and together they zoomed off to the moon.

"Hello mister Moon" the star babies called.
"Hello there!" Mister moon replied.

Mister moon was very nice. He had a cheery face and didn't mind at all that the girls liked to swing from him. They had little spiders webs which hung from his chin, and to this they had attached a piece of Rosy Rainbows torn skirt. It made a pretty cool swing indeed.

Together Twinkle and Sparkle climbed onto the swing.
"Weeeeee" called Twinkle and Sparkle giggled.

This was fun! They swung higher and higher until they loop de looped the moon, and even Mister moon began to chuckle!

"I want to bounce on the clouds now" said Sparkle.

They waved goodbye to Mister moon, and zoomed towards the few little evening clouds that were still in the sky.

BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE!!

Hee hee giggled Twinkle. "This is like a trampoline in the sky!" "I love bouncing as high as I can!"

Mrs Bee could not sleep. She tossed and turned until eventually she got out of her bed and went to fetch a glass of water. From her little kitchen window she could see the moon shining brightly. She could also see two little Star Babies shooting up into the sky and back down again. Up and down they went and Mrs Bee smiled at how much fun they seemed to be having.

Mrs Bee opened the door of her house and stood in the garden for a better look. She cupped her hands to her mouth and called out "Hello Twinkle! Hello Sparkle!" and then she waved.

"Oh look Sparkle! There's Mrs Bee waving".

The Star babies waved back to Mrs Bee and carried on with their game.

Soon Twinkles and Sparkles began to get tired and Twinkles could see her mummy coming.

"I've got to go now Sparkles. My mum is on her way to fetch me. It's time for bed now"

"Good night then Twinkles" Sparkles replied. "I guess I'd best be off home now too".

The Star babies gave one another a cuddle and promised to meet again the following

evening for some more fun in the sky.

Mrs Bee climbed back into her bed, with dreams of using the money from the fete.

She remembered that the funds were to be for a swing park for the Beezles and she was sure they would have as much fun as Twinkle and Sparkle.
Hmm. Tomorrow she'd make arrangements for the work on the park to begin, and with that she fell asleep. zzz zzz zzz
