Ruby Red Slippers
Munchkins, you can come over here with me! Aly Tanner’s younger sister, Brooke, was standing on top of a teal pedicure chair.
Sophie and I have all the brightest colors!"
Aly was glad that Brooke was dealing with the Munchkins. The Flying Monkeys were on the opposite side of the Sparkle Spa, right near where Sparkly, the girls’ dog, was sleeping. They were looking at darker nail polish colors with Lily. And Charlotte was standing at the door with her twin brother, Caleb. She was checking names off the appointment list, and he was handling security.
Caleb didn’t always help out at the Sparkle Spa, but once in a while, when the girls thought the salon would be extra crowded, they asked him to stand by the door to make sure there weren’t too many people coming into the salon at once. Today was the most crowded day Aly could remember.
She kept looking at the sign on the wall, the new one a man from the health department had put up last week. It said: OCCUPANCY BY MORE THAN 16 PEOPLE IS UNLAWFUL. There was a similar sign hanging right outside the Sparkle Spa, in Aly and Brooke’s mom’s salon, True Colors, but there you were allowed to have fifty people. If the girls and their mom didn’t obey the signs, the health department could close their salons—maybe even forever.
Aly counted: six Sparkle Spa workers, five Munchkins, and four Flying Monkeys. Luckily, Sparkly didn’t count, according to the health department, since he was a dog.
Caleb,
Aly said, walking over to the door, we’re only allowed one more person in the spa.
He nodded. I’ve been keeping track,
he answered.
While Aly was standing there, Jenica Posner came in from True Colors. Hey,
she said. Looks super-busy in there.
Aly tucked her sweaty bangs behind her ear. Yes,
she said. "Because the second- and third-grade play is The Wizard of Oz, a bunch of the Munchkins and Flying Monkeys wanted to get their nails done before tomorrow’s performance."
And they all want to stay to see how everyone else’s manicure looks?
Jenica guessed.
Exactly,
Aly told her.
Jenica Posner was the coolest girl in all of Auden Elementary. She was the captain of the sixth grade girls’ soccer team, the Auden Angels, and was one of the main reasons that Aly and Brooke were allowed to start the Sparkle Spa in the first place. One day when True Colors was extra busy, Mom let Aly give Jenica a rainbow sparkle pedicure. Jenica scored a ton of goals in her next soccer game, and before long all the Angels wanted rainbow sparkle pedicures.
True Colors couldn’t fit them into its daily appointments, so Aly and Brooke were able to start their own salon, the Sparkle Spa, in the spare back room of their mom’s salon. There were lots of rules the girls had to follow, but they’d been doing a great job, and their salon had been open for almost the whole school year. The Angels still came by for rainbow sparkle pedicures every Tuesday, but sometimes Jenica stopped by to say hello when her nana was getting a manicure in True Colors.
Your mom’s salon is pretty crowded today too,
Jenica said, stepping into the Sparkle Spa.
Bridal party,
Aly said. In addition to regulars. And the health department came by yesterday to give us these signs about how many people could be in each space. You’re the very last person who can be in the Sparkle Spa right now, until someone leaves. You’re number sixteen.
Wow,
Jenica said. You’d better get some of these Munchkins out of here.
Aly nodded. I should probably start doing some manicures.
Sounds good,
Jenica said. "At least
