The Attic

Chapter Twenty Five

  "It should be here somewhere".

Here we are once again in Miss Paige's attic and Sophie is literally turning this place to a zoo in search of a princess outfit.

  "Found it." She said, "where's my scepter Becky, I gave it to you"

  "Here", I hand it to her, "you know, whichever kingdom we find ourselves, they'll be an actual queen already. Not you".

  "Eh...I'll make them bow to me".

  "Whatever you say, your majesty". I say bowing.

She pointed the scepter at me and held her head high, too high I must say. "Rise, milady and follow me as we take a ride through the magical portal of Nostwire". She said in a perfect British accent.

  "Very well". I said trying to hold my giggles. We got ready to step in together.

  "Wait", I say seeing a tiara thrown somewhere. I pick it up and place it on her head. "There. You're ready to go. But I'm blaming you if we get thrown into a dungeon"

  "That's not a problem. You can sing the guards to sleep while we escape. Or you sing to lure them into unlocking the prison gate."

  "Yeah right, keep dreaming. It doesn't work that way. I'm not a siren..."

She looked at me wide-eyed as if having a new idea of something. "No, no, no, no..." I say quickly.

  "Yes yes yes yes Becky, that's right. Next adventure were going... mermaid style" she swung the scepter over me I had to duck else I'd be in a hospital. "oops, sorry..."

  "I think we should step in now before any more crazy ideas pop into your head."

And that's how we kept getting stronger and braver. Ready to take on the world anytime and any day. There was nothing difficult for us as long as we had each other. Every adventure kept getting stronger and challenging.
   
And also, the concert is coming up, and my dad won't let me have a moment's rest.

  "You need to catch them off guard with the training you're getting"

  "Dad, I know all these. I'll do great as you want me to. I know it. "

  "You sure?"

  "I'm very sure dad. Don't worry about me"

  "Okay, don't dress about it. Remember, be yourself at all times and..."

  "...let the music take over you". I complete the rest.

He sighed, "I trust and believe you can do it Becky. I know you can."

  "Thanks dad, for believing in me".

  "Anytime sweetie, anytime.

It's a great feeling knowing you have people who genuinely and sincerely care and support you through the way. It's like that with my parents, Sophie, Chloe, Freddy, Simon, Cody and Louis. There are more than friends one can know in a lifetime. They're like family to me.

Ah, speaking of family, we're all having dinner tomorrow being Saturday. It's gonna be fun. Everyone together at my house. Sophie's mom usually comes to help set things up and cook too. It's always been about the fun. Last weekend we had game night, and believe me no one wanted to sleep. We played games till we eventually fell asleep. I feel free and excited to do the things I have never tried before.
        It's all in the heart people. It's all in the love of family, friends and loved ones. It's a magical feeling also. Especially when using the magic mirror.

So no matter what you go through, keep believing in yourself. Be positive always, as Miss Paige would say. Don't play by anybody's rule but yours. Know who you are and set yourself high. I've learnt to step out into the spotlight and let all eyes be fixed on me. No more hiding in the shadows and no more running away. I'm gonna let it all out.

I'll keep shining. But whatever you do, keep the secret of the adventures of the Magic Mirror.

                 
                    The End.
