“Are you ready yet, Mom?” Kirsty Tate called up the stairs. “Rachel and I are dying to see your costumes!” She grinned at her best friend, Rachel Walker, who was standing next to her.

“We’ll be down soon,” Mrs. Tate called back from the bedroom.

Kirsty and Rachel sat down on the bottom stair to wait.

“I wish we were going to the rock ’n’ roll party with my mom and dad.” Kirsty sighed. “It sounds like fun, and we might fi nd Rebecca the Rock ’n’ Roll Fairy’s magic ribbon there!”

Rachel nodded. “The Dance Fairies are depending on us,” she

reminded Kirsty.Rachel and Kirsty had

become friends with the fairies

during their vacation on

Rainspell Island, and now the girls were always eager to help whenever the fairies had a problem.

The main cause of trouble in Fairyland was mean Jack Frost and his goblins. A few days earlier, Jack Frost had asked the Dance Fairies to visit his ice castle and teach his goblins how to dance. But it was all a trick, so the goblins could steal the Dance Fairies’ magic ribbons!

When the king and queen of Fairyland had demanded that Jack Frost give the ribbons back, he refused. Instead, he sent seven of his goblins tumbling into the human world, each clutching one of the ribbons. Now, during their school break, Kirsty and Rachel were helping the Dance Fairies fi nd their ribbons.

“We’ve gotten off to a good start,” Kirsty remarked. “We already found Bethany the Ballet Fairy’s ribbon, and Jade the Disco Fairy’s, too.”

“But if we don’t fi nd the rest, all the other kinds of dance will keep going wrong, and dancing won’t be fun anymore!” Rachel sighed.

“Yes, and I guess the dancing at the rock ’n’ roll party tonight will be ruined,

since Rebecca’s rock ’n’ roll ribbon is still

missing,” Kirsty replied with a worried frown.

“Do you remember how Bethany told us that the magic

ribbons are attracted to their own kind of dancing?”

Rachel asked. “Maybe the goblin who has Rebecca’s ribbon will be at the rock ’n’ roll party!”

“Girls, we’re ready!” Mr. Tate yelled from upstairs, and Kirsty and Rachel turned around.

When Mr. and Mrs. Tate came downstairs, the girls’ eyes widened with delight. Kirsty’s dad was wearing jeans and a black leather jacket. Kirsty’s mom was wearing a sleeveless black top and a full white skirt embroidered with black musical notes.

She wore a high ponytail tied with a red ribbon.

“You both look fantastic!” Kirsty gasped.

“You look like you just walked out of the movie Grease!” Rachel added. “Will everyone be

dressed up like you?”Mr. Tate nodded.

“There will also be demonstrations of

rock ’n’ roll dancing,”he explained, “and an Elvis impersonator. Elvis Presley was a famous rock ’n’ roll singer, you know.”

“And Kirsty’s Uncle John is in charge of the music,” Mrs. Tate told Rachel. “We’re taking some of our own rock ’n’ roll records for him to play.”

“It sounds like fun,” Kirsty said wistfully.

“Well, why don’t you two come with us?” Mrs. Tate suggested with a smile. “We didn’t ask you before because there aren’t going to be any other kids there, but you might enjoy it.”

Kirsty and Rachel looked thrilled.

“Can we?” Kirsty asked eagerly. “But what about Gran? She was going

to come and stay with us.”“She won’t have left

home yet,” Mrs. Tate said, glancing at the

clock. “I’ll give her a call.”

“Does it matter that we don’t have costumes?” Rachel asked.

“Not at all,” Mr. Tate assured her. “Isn’t this great?” Kirsty whispered to

Rachel as they went to grab their coats.

“We’re going to the rock ’n’ roll party after all!”

“Yes, and maybe we’ll fi nd Rebecca’s rock ’n’ roll ribbon there!” Rachel replied excitedly.
