Happy Families

Francesca Simon, Tommy Donbavand and Mick Inkpen collide!

The first part of my dream was me, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella, Six and Kipper all relaxing in the long grass, and then rolling downhill, while squealing and laughing in pleasure. A touch of nature is all that's needed to bring the theme of softness into my dreams. One time, we rolled down the hill together and ended up in a huge heap on the ground, laughing.

The next section of the dream was set during the Horrid Henry episode 'Horrid Henry's Happy Family'. Luke, Resus, Cleo, Luella, Six, Kipper and I had been asked to help Horrid Henry and his family during the 'Happiest Family Ever' competition, helping them understand cooperation and good table manners. At one point, Moody Margaret's mum and dad mistook Six for the toady toad frogface of a pink-haired M-named Margaret, until I told them it's a mistake. First, all of us had to help Henry, Peter, Mum and Dad dust the table and arrange the flowers, then Luke, Resus, Kipper and I helped with tidying the pretend living room and putting away the toys, then Luella, Cleo and Six - y'know, Scream Street's new girl squad - helped them display manners and etiquette at the dinner table, although Six sat under the table and ate one of the sandwiches, leaving Mum to ask Henry, "Did you eat the last sandwich, Henry?"

Much to our surprise, both Henry's family and us won the competition! We all stuck our fingers in our ears and jeered out Henry's trademark phrase at Stuck Up Steve and Moody Margaret:

"Nah-nah-ne-nah-nah!"

Isn't it nice to be a happy family...of friends?
