In chapter 10, the three girls and Marshall are planning to slip away from the large group of trick-or-treaters when the time is right. April predicted that they would know by a secret omen when they should make their getaway. As they are going from house to house, they end up getting farther and farther behind the main group. Many residents whose doors they come to are impressed with the girls' costumes and spend time talking to them or taking pictures of them. They run into Toby and Ken, and that delays them. Finally, they find themselves all alone with no other members of the group nearby. At that very moment, Melanie notices a shooting star. They all look up and say, "A shooting star!" in unison, then look at April. She nods, indicating that the shooting star was indeed their secret omen. They head to Egypt.
