Release: 1995
The story begins with Heather exaggerating her relationship with a prima ballerina and her own ballet skills in order to impress her Magic Attic Club friends. Her friends recognize that Heather is stretching the truth, much to Heather's discomfort, and they return home early from visiting with her. She decides to visit the attic for answers on how to fix the awkward situation, fearing having to face her friends.
In her mirror adventure, Heather appears as a guest ballerina and the other dancers expect her to star in the important lead role. Eager to live up to their expectations, Heather exaggerates about her abilities. Then comes one regrettable misstep. Has Heather's dream ended just as it was about to come true?
Throughout her adventure, Heather learns she doesn't have to exaggerate her abilities to impress her new friends.
