Because of Mom’s Three Days a Week rule, Aly and Brooke usually chose Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays as their salon days, unless something special was happening another day of the week. Most Tuesdays were pretty busy. The soccer team usually came in for their good-luck rainbow sparkle pedicures. But their outdoor soccer season was over, and indoor soccer wasn’t starting for another couple of weeks, so this Tuesday wasn’t nearly as booked as usual. That was good news for the Sparkle Spa crew. At lunch, Aly and Brooke had told their friends they had Sparkle Spa business to discuss after school. Charlotte was in the bracelet-making area petting Sparkly, Aly and Brooke’s puppy. “What’s so important?” Sophie asked. Sophie was Brooke’s best friend and the Sparkle Spa’s third manicurist. “It’s mirrors versus combs,” Brooke answered. “Mirrors versus combs? What is that, a new team?” a voice asked from the Sparkle Spa door. It was Jenica Posner, the Angels’ soccer captain and the most loyal customer the Sparkle Spa had.
