but it was Aisha who really got on with them. Aisha and Natalie were about the same age and liked each other right from the start.
They became very close and Natalie got Aisha a job as an extra in the TV Programme she was currently recording at the local studio. Natalie even took Aisha shopping to give her a new look.
When Aisha wasn't working as an extra she was helping out with odd jobs at the studios. She loved being part of it all, although she worked long hours and was often very tired.
On the plus side she was now becoming something of a celebrity herself, due to her relationship with Natalie and the fact that she had been given a few lines to speak on set.
Now Aisha was being noticed when she went about town and even being allowed in some of the select VIP clubs.
Aisha felt the only person that wasn't happy about this was her husband Merlin. He felt that she should be spending more time at home with Hasani. Aisha loved both Merlin and Hasani very much, but felt this was her one big chance to make a career for herself and was angry that her husband wasn't supporting her when it was so important to her.
One night they had a blazing row and Aisha stormed off.
Merlin tried to sleep but couldn't and decided to go for a walk. He found his footsteps taking him to the hatcheries.
He remembered visiting here when he was younger with his father and being taught to fish, that was such a long time ago now.
Looking round he saw a faint glow in one corner and moved over to investigate, what he saw took his breath away.
A unicorn stood in one corner, its pale white body glowing in the dark. Merlin approached remembering when a unicorn had been brought home by his own father Albin, that had been the night of his death and the night of Harriet's birth.
Merlin felt a great sense of peace looking at the Unicorn. Slowly he approached and reached out his hand.
The Unicorn accepted his tough unflinchingly and Merlin patted the creature. Here everything seemed simple and peaceful. He felt that tomorrow he would sort it out and make up with Aisha. It would all be okay.
