"But I don't know what we got up to during that time because it seemed like a very long way away," said Mildred. There was a long silence. Then I spoke up, "Hey! I know! Mildred, we can use the Maud's diary page on the CBBC website to help us with our adventures!" Mildred jumped so high she nearly fell off her broomstick. "What?!" she gasped, "That's a fantastic idea, and why the heck am I so excited?!" "Because you are," I said. "Oh. Yeah right," Mildred said. Tell them, Mildred!
"Uh...alright. Okay, everybody, we've got a whole lineup of witch-tastic adventures coming your way when Sybil Somerset writes about our mishaps and mayhem during the adventures of Resus and his friends on CBBC and CBeebies."
- "I'll show Luella a prospectus for Cackles' Academy." "A prospectus? OMG!" "I know right, it's going to be great!"
- "I'll give Luella a broomstick proficiency test like they do at Cackles'." "I'm scared." "Don't be, I helped Maud in the series and boy it was extreme!" "Wait! We're already doing it in I.B.F.F Diaries '17, we fly all the way to the moon then fall onto some clouds, and then I save you! Right?" "Okay then, fine."
- "We'll talk about our broomsticks." "Eh?" "You heard me, I'm going to talk about when Maud, Enid and Ethel were just babies or attending witch preschool." "*sigh* I'm going to be so embarrassed."
- "We'll choose names for the cats at Cackles' when we set up our own stand outside the school." "OMG, it's so grand!" "I know it is."
- "We'll audition for the after-school clubs at Cackles' - cooking, night walks, flying lessons..." "Remember to wear a glow-in-the-dark safety jacket at night." "Thanks, Luella. The other after school classes include spellbook classes and a black cat appreciation club."
- "We'll sing 'The Witchenese Song', and it won't make any sense at all." "*giggles*" "Luella!" "Sorry."
- "We'll show you how to pass witch tests in an extreme way." "Sybil already blogged about that earlier this month."
- "There'll be a spell to practice at home whilst we watch a Worst Witch episode." "Good idea, that's sure to involve some reader participation."
- "Luella will try on Cackle's uniform..." "I bet it looks boring." "No it isn't boring, it reflects the pride of Cackles' academy."
- "Characters from my show like Esmeralda, Miss Cackle and Mrs. Hardbroom will make an appearance." "Esme!" "Esmeralda." "Esme!" "Esmeralda."
- "I'll sing the Witches' Code to Luella." "Yes!" "Look out, Luella! I got you!" "Phew, thanks, I thought I was going to fall off back there."
- "We'll go to a library in Southampton to study spells and perform one in a quiet environment when the visitors aren't looking." "Good, because you know what being quiet means, don't you?" "Sssssshhhhhh." *both giggle*
- "I'll teach Luella the art of chanting." "If only Eefa was here." "Well, she will appear at some point in the book(s)."
- "At Christmas, I'll show Luella a traditional witch ceremony where families chant around the ceremonial cauldron and give each other presents." "I'm going to love this!" "I know you are." "I wonder if Eefa and I do this tradition together?" "Eefa told me you don't do it, so it's my responsibility to show you how we do things here at Cackles'." "Thanks, I bet you love this time of year as much as I do!"
- "Oh! Did I mention Miss Bat will make an appearance?" "Well remembered, you need to include her, but don't tell anyone, or the readers, but she's totally....batty!" *Both laugh*
- "And Mrs. Drill!" "She'd make a good CBBC presenter, though, she'd do some Worst Witch themed links."
"You're sure to enjoy our adventures in I.B.F.F Diaries '17 and '18, so look out for us..."
"And look out for Resus and the others, too!"
"You are a card, Luella."
"No, you are!"
