Jacinta — J-Girl to everyone who knew her — had been cleaning up the last crumbs of birthday cake when a mysterious balloon floated through her window. It wasn’t ordinary. It sparkled like it had swallowed a disco ball.

Before she could grab it, the balloon yanked her straight up into the sky. “Oh, for goodness’ sake,” she muttered, gripping the string.

She shot through the clouds and landed on a glowing purple world where every day was a party. Confetti rained from the skies, music blasted from giant speakers, and enormous cakes floated in orbit.

A group of kids in sparkly party hats surrounded her. “J-Girl! You’re here!” one said. “The Party Planet is in danger — someone’s stealing the joy!”

Sure enough, the once-bouncy music now dragged like a slow march. Balloons were deflating. Even the DJ robot was sighing.

“Who’s behind this?” J-Girl asked.

Out popped a gloomy creature called Glumgum. He wore a sash that read: Official Fun-Ruiner. “Too much happiness makes me itchy,” he whined. “So I’m shutting the whole thing down.”

J-Girl folded her arms. “Not on my watch.”

She searched the planet. First stop: the Cake Craters, where sprinkles had turned grey. J-Girl cracked a joke about sprinkles needing a holiday — and the kids laughed so loudly, the colours came back.

Next, she marched into the Balloon Forest. Deflated balloons sagged like tired socks. J-Girl taught the children how to play “balloon bop” (basically smacking balloons at Glumgum’s head). The laughter puffed them right back up.

Finally, she faced the DJ robot. Its music was stuck on the world’s most boring elevator tune. J-Girl grabbed the microphone. “Who’s ready to DANCE?”

The kids roared, the beat dropped, and suddenly Party Planet came back to life. Lights flashed, cake fountains erupted, and Glumgum scowled so hard he fell into a jelly pit.

“Ugh. Too much fun,” he groaned. “I quit.”

The planet cheered. J-Girl grabbed the balloon string again and whoosh — she was back in her living room, still holding a slice of cake.

Her mum raised an eyebrow. “Where’ve you been?”

“Saving a planet,” J-Girl grinned. “Long story.”
