CHAPTER 12


- YES!!! Here we go! exclaimed the girls, who dragged Sophie along, the boys following them. The inflictor began to bitterly regret having accepted this outing into town...for the next few hours they went shopping for clothes, jewellery and so on...

- I've got a better idea than shopping to spend the day together," said Sophie at the entrance to the hundredth shop.

- Let's hear it then! said Maruca

- Wouldn't you like to come to Havenfield and have an evening under the stars? That way I can show you my new friend!

- You didn't tell us you had a new friend! exclaimed Biana.

- Let's just say she's very special. I'll show her to you now if you like?

- Of course! replied Dex.

- So here we go! Sophie took out her jumping crystal and they all found themselves in front of the great Havenfield estate

- Come on, follow me! Sophie exclaimed. They approached an enclosure.

- I don't believe it! exclaimed Fitz and Wylie in unison.

- A star dragon! Linh continued.

- Let me introduce you to Sohaïlla, a baby star dragon. She arrived a little over a week ago.

- Wait... Are you telling us that you're friends with a big, flame-spitting lizard?

- Yes, that's right, Marella.

- But that's just great. The dragon came towards them and asked the young woman to caress it.

- Do you want to pet it?

- seriously, can we? Tam asked.

- Yes, come on. She's very sociable.

The small group of friends entered and each of them was able to pet the legendary animal.

- Ah, Sophie, you're back with a crowd, I see! Grady said as he arrived, followed by Edaline, the two adults carrying buckets of fresh herbs and fruit.

- We're going to have a night under the stars here...  if you don't mind, of course.

- Oh well, we don't mind. Oh let me guess, you came up with this idea to get away from one more shop. Edaline remarked.

- I guess you could say that! Interjected Fitz. Everyone burst out laughing, knowing Sophie's great passion for shops.

- Well, have fun, we're going to feed Foreste, Aki and Ako, our three new residents," said Grady.

- Oh what animals are they? asked Biana.

- Well, Foreste is a Dahu and Aki and Ako are marsupilami brother and sister.

- Marsupilami, you mean the yellow creature with black spots from the human cartoons? Sophie exclaimed enthusiastically.

- I guess so. Ako is just like you described and Aki is all black like a black panther. explained Edaline.

- That's great! I would never have believed that marsupilami exist! Can I see them?

- Of course you can, girl! Grady replied.

She followed her adoptive parents and her friends to a kind of greenhouse, and they went inside. It was like being in a jungle because of the dense vegetation and the humid temperature. Grady and Edaline put the buckets down. The hypnotist took an apple in his hand and threw it into the air, and a golden shadow flew by at an impressive speed, catching the fruit. 

Eda threw a kiwi in the same way as her husband, a black shadow passed as quickly as the first, around them the bushes shook under the passage of the two marsupials, it took a little less than five minutes for Aki and Ako to show their snout in broad daylight.

- It's incredible... Sophie murmured, freezing in front of the two animals who were feasting on the fruit, I feel like a child again.
