The girls were now done making their ice-lollies. Thankfully there wasn’t much of a mess to clear. Just as Luna was about to start cleaning the classroom, Victoria let out a scream from the kitchen. Thinking her colleague must have seen a cockroach; Luna grabbed the broom next to her and a roll of newspaper. She took a deep breath before braving herself to enter the kitchen.

“Vic?” Luna popped her head into the kitchen.

“LUNA! THE FREEZER HAS STOPPED WORKING!”

“WHAT?”

“IT’S NOT WORKING!! EVERYTHING IN OUR FREEZER HAS MELTED AND IT’S NOT COLD ANYMORE! HOW ARE WE GONNA MAKE ICE LOLLIES WHEN WE DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO MAKE IT ICE?”

Luna was about to suggest that maybe they could use the other classes’ refrigerator but they were the only class with one.

“Ok ok calm down. How about we just get ice cream from the ice cream truck in the park nearby?”

“Sounds like a plan! I’ll get the girls ready.” Victoria placed ice-lolly moulds on the kitchen counter and was about to make her way out when Luna stopped her.

“What do you mean get the girls ready? We’re not bringing them out. I’ll buy the ice cream and come back.”

Victoria pouted (and it was a horrible sight for Luna), “But it’s a perfect day for the girls to be out. The weather is lovely.”

“You know what happens when we bring them out.”

“But we’ll be extra careful this time! Besides, what could possibly go wrong?”
