Flora bounced with excitement. It was school holidays, and she was off to Balina with her parents! Even better, her best friends Lili, Luna, and Isa were coming too. She imagined all the fun they'd have.

When they arrived, Balina was even more wonderful than she’d imagined! A big, welcoming place with so many things to do. Flora squeezed Lili's hand, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Their weekend was a whirl of adventures! They giggled during wild pillow jumps, splashed and played in the cool swimming pool, and snuggled together watching a funny movie at the cinema.

Outside, they zoomed around on scooters, feeling the breeze, and later enjoyed delicious, sticky ice cream cones. A lively game of mini-golf had them all cheering and laughing.

But the most exciting place, everyone agreed, was the incredible games room! It was filled with bright lights, happy noises, and so many wonderful things to play. Flora couldn't wait to try everything.

Inside the games room, Lili spotted a fluffy pink unicorn in the toy claw machine. 'Oh, I really, really want that one!' she exclaimed, her eyes wide. She tried once, then twice, but the claw just wouldn’t grab it.

Lili's shoulders drooped a little. 'It’s too hard!' she sighed. Flora saw her friend’s sadness. She put an arm around Lili. 'Don't worry, Lili, we can try together! Maybe if we aim just so, and press the button at the right time!'

Flora used her own token and together, they carefully watched the claw. 'Now!' Flora whispered. Lili pressed the button, and *thunk*, the claw gently scooped up the unicorn! They both shrieked with delight as it dropped into the chute.

Lili hugged the unicorn tightly. 'Thank you, Flora! You helped me so much!' Flora smiled, feeling a warm glow inside. Sharing the joy made it even better than winning it alone.

Soon, Luna and Isa joined them, and they took turns on the exciting air hockey machine, the puck whizzing across the table with loud clacks. Flora made sure everyone had a go and felt included, cheering for every point.
