Welcome to MakeupStory'stop stories. My name is Kate. Go to MakeDup Stories.com to join the MakeDup Club. Hello and welcome to Make It Up. I'm your host, Amanda. Up for today, we have the fifth and final part of our story, Malia's Tree House. You can listen to

this episode on its own, but if you haven't already, it might be more fun to listen to parts

Sonia and Nayeli, Malia did just that, an enormous dahlia several stories tall sprouted there overnight. The girls climbed

her rainbow to get up to the flower, where they found the inside laid out perfectly for a treehouse.

Just as the girls were wondering what they should do now that they had their amazing magical treehouse,

a small pedal tore off from the wall and landed

on the table. Malia picked it up and found that it was covered in writing and had a picture.

The picture was of a little girl, and she looked sad. Malia read the writing on the pedal aloud.
