        In her head, Makenna asked, What is this song? This has never happened before.

The stuffed whale Tracey's spell picked up set itself down on her pillows.

He stopped singing, and everything returned to normal. The green and purple sparkles vanished. Makenna's room was now spick and span.

She couldn't believe what just happened. "How did you do that?" she asked her friend.

Smiling, Tracey glanced at her and explained, "That's a new spell Senpai taught me."

"No, not that. How did you do that with your voice?"

"Oh, you mean the green and purple sparkles?"

Makenna nodded and met her friend's golden brown eyes.

Chuckling, he closed them and brought his hand to his beardless chin. "I have no idea."

Makenna collapsed onto the floor and slapped her palm to her face.

It wasn't long until Silvey and Raeven approached her.

Raeven landed on her shoulder.

"So,–" Tracey continued, as he reached through her window and grabbed his floating suitcase, "where's my room?" The suitcase hung in front of his chest. Tracey gave Makenna a cheesy smile.

She glanced at him and asked, "Your room? Tracey, you come here almost every weekend. Don't you know?"

For some reason, her question offended Tracey. "What's that supposed to mean?" He retreated back a step.

"Nothing. I was just asking you a question."

"Oh. Okay!" Tracey's cheesy smile returned. He started to make his way towards Makenna's door. Passing Silvey and Raeven, he lifted his hand and waved at them. "Hello, Silvey and Raeven."

They waved weakly back at him.

When Tracey reached the door to Makenna's room he lifted his foot, since his hands were full, and pulled the handle down with it. He took another step back as the door swung open. Tracey tried to make his way through the doorway, but his suitcase became caught in it. "Oof!" he yelped.

Makenna, Silvey, and Raeven stared as he let his bag go and stood behind it.

The suitcase literally was caught in the doorway. It hovered a few feet off the ground.

Tracey pushed his shoulder up against the bag, but it didn't budge. With an irritated huff, he unlatched it and pulled out all his clothes. With a pile of clothes in his arms, he ducked under his suitcase and appeared on the other side of the hallway.

Back in her room, Makenna shook her head and told Silvey and Raeven, "There is definitely something bothering him."

The fairy dog and Megabat couldn't help but agree. The three of them knew Tracey well enough to understand when he was having an internal conflict with himself.

Makenna was the one who pulled his suitcase out. She escorted her friend down the stairs into the living room, where her mother was finally off the phone. The TV was still tuned to the Weather Channel.
