“If I’m out here and you’re in there, how will we play together again? Will I be able to get back into the dome and be with you?”
“If you hold onto the dome with both hands and really, really wish for it to happen, then it will,” said Harry.
“D’you think so?” said Nicky anxiously. “You don’t think all your rainbow clay magic is used up yet?”
“Nicky, I’m not the only one who’s magic,” Harry laughed. “Didn’t you know that you are too?”
“Me?” asked Nicky, amazed.
“You!” said Harry.
And then Nicky understood. “So it’s not the rainbow clay that’s magic, is it? It’s you and me – together.”
“Exactly.” And Harry started chasing his tail again.
Nicky laughed. “Harry, you and I are going to have such fun together.”
“Of course we are!” said Harry.
“It’s going to be woof-onderful!” said Nicky and Harry together.
And laughing, Nicky carried Harry back into her house. It was time for lunch!
