Pixie felt worst about Hetty who was
nearer my age but very different from her.
Hetty was everyones darling and always
being praised for her grades and her good
manners and way with animals.
Everything she did annoyed Pixie .

So Pixie hatched a plot to get Hetty out
of her room. Pixies first step was try a
haunting. She made little scratching
noises one night ,and surreptitiously
opened the windows the next morning the
room was icy cold, like a ghost had justvisited. Pixie told Hetty gruesome tale
but unfortunately , Hetty cottoned on
and grinned at her as if Pixie was
brilliant.

Pixie decided to try a
different tack the next day.
Pixie waited till she was
engrossed in her homeworkbefore interrupting her to ask
her to explain some maths.
Hetty went through every
problem so thoroughly that
Pixie even improve her
marks at week. However,
Pixie couldnt annoy her
enough to get her out of
Pixies room.

Finally, Pixie resorted to the
semi-silent treatment, hoping
that shed get fed up and stormback to her sister. Pixie almost
right. Although Hetty left the
room, she went directly to her
mother. Lucy showed up
straight away and although she
was mild and friendly as usual,Pixie could tell that it mattered
to her. With a jolt, Pixie
realised it was a serious matter
for me too. Pixie was sick of
bitting my tougue and hiding
my feelings.

Lucy ask if there was a
problem Hetty and Pixie.
Pixie warily denied it at first
, then told her that Pixiesdidint like l sharing her
room with someone who
wasnt family. She insisted
that Hetty was family but
Pixie pointed out that Hetty
wasnt part of her (Pixies)family. Lucy and Dad had
chosen each other but Hetty
and Pixie hadt been given
a choice, and they were
expected to pretend to get
along.

Lucy retorted that she hadnt
chosen Pixie either but she
still tried to get along with
Pixie. She added thats
Pixies dad hadnt chosenSophie and Hetty either but
they all tried to get along. By
this time, both of them were
upset. Suddenly Dad peered
round the door, then closed
the door again. He hadobviously sensed there was
a problem but rather than
come in and help sort things
out, he had decided as usual
to stay safely out of thing.

That didnt surprise themalthough Lucy was really
irritated that Dad was
leaving it all to her, the
Wicked Stepmother.
Pixie bitterly replied that it
was a better than being astepmother or stepsister.
Lucy lost her temper and
told her that Pixie didnt
behave like Pixie was part
of the family.

It was Lucys turn to shout angrily
at Pixie. She loathed being cast as
the Wicked Stepmother, andhated how Pixies mum didnt
give her any support and how
Dad always pretended kept
everything was fine.
Nevertheless, she kept on trying
because this was her home and
her family. She was sobbing and
Pixie started crying too, they
hugged each other tightly.
Dad poked his head round the
door but Lucy coldly asked him to
go away. Pixie felt the same. Dad
could have make things much
easier for all of them and it was
selfish of him not to have made
the effort.

Lucy and Pixie sat with their arms round each other. Pixie told
Lucy she wouldnt want to be a stepmother and she told her
that she wouldnt want to be a stepdaughter either.Nonetheless, most people managed somehow, she added with
a shrug. Pixie tearfully confessed that she didnt really hate
Lucys house after all. It was Hettys teasing and things like
which made Pixie want to leave. Lucy was baffled when she
realised how Pixie hated her name, and she told Pixie that her
parents had chosen a lovely name for Pixie.So, because Lucy had said something nice about Mum and
Dad, their row ended peaceably, with no ill feelings between
them. Pixie dried her tears and told Lucy that Pixie didnt mind
sharing her room, but she insisted that they drag Hettys bed
back to her sister room.

In return, Pixie frighten Hetty out of her wits
with her ghost stories. After listening to Pixies
stories, Hetty goes back to her room but only
if Sophie is there. If Sophie is out, Hets and
Pixie drag her mattress to my room. Dad
doesnt understand why they dont just leave
the mattress on Pixies floor, but they know
better. Although they get along a bit better
now, Hetty and Pixie dont want to push their
luck.
