The Last Day of the Holiday, Chapter Three
It seemed to take her a long time to get ready, but finally Mini-Flash Juniper exited the girls’ changing room and swished briskly onto the squash court where Calvin was waiting. She was holding her racquet, and had put on a simple short-sleeved sports shirt and skirt to play in.

The Last Day of the Holiday, Chapter One
“Hi!” sang out a little voice. Mini-Flash Juniper halted her early morning jog. A beaming boy of about half her height was gazing up at her. He was wearing sports clothes of vibrant hue, but not even they could compare for brightness with his eyes.

Return of the Teaser, Chapter Two
No sooner had Mini-Flash Juniper departed than her doppelganger struck up a series of self-pitying complaints that she was hungry. Since an acre of oilseed in Flashsatsumas’s underwear wouldn’t have made him any less cautious about the company he was required to keep, his first thought was to veto any kind of excursion to the food-court. On the other hand however, he and the real Mini-Flash Juniper might just as easily have taken such a trip, and maintaining the illusion of normality was the task she’d charged him with. In addition, for all Flashsatsumas knew the counter-Juniper might have been the kind of entity which needed material sustenance, and that would mean her pleas for the same were actuated by necessity rather than sneakiness.

You Knew Full Well I was a Snake, Chapter Three
Back at the café, Flashsatsumas had piled up his empty plates so was only too aware how the situation stood. Waiting for Miss Ugly to return with Mini-Flash Juniper safe and sound was proving to be more than he could take, and every interminable minute that passed seemed to increase the likelihood of something having gone wrong.

These Flashsatsumas turned endlessly over in his hands one by one, at his wits’ end for some opportunity he may have missed. His card, Juniper’s card, Maureen’s cats, Pat’s box…

You Knew Full Well I was a Snake, Chapter Two
Entering the shopping-centre café Flashsatsumas ordered five portions of death-by-chocolate, then sat down with his friends to take stock. Somehow throughout it all he’d kept hold of the card on which his item had come, now dampened by rain and bereft of both its plastic bubbles and what had been in them. Besides illustrations, all that was there now were the two monochromatic panels where these had been, the smaller one roughly rectangular and its outline that of a little toy van.
