Everything is not always as it seems

On our own

I woke up and got dressed (outfit 51)  for school today, and came downstairs to meet everyone else. I see you're ready for school. Yes. At least its not as bad as wizard school, where I can't even go to school. Alex it might be chilly, you might want to put on a jacket. Fine, she says doing a spell. "Stop all the racket I'll wear a jacket." Hey? Hey. No not hey, but hey, when your mother said go put on a jacket, she meant go upstairs and put one on, not zap one on!

What's the big deal, so I didn't want to go walk all the way back upstairs? The big idea is young lady is that, first this happens then that happens and then you're in jail! Dad told her. Now, go upstairs, take the jacket off, come down here and put it back on. Fine, whatever it takes to stay out of jail. When she went upstairs, we discussed Max's project on Mars, but really it was so far a box of sand, and the boys walked out the door, while I waited for Alex.

When we left, I looked both ways and did the jacket spell. You're so smart, I should've done that. BTW if it's cold or chilly, that could be Jack. You called? Don't you look adorable. My Justin agreed with him. I whined. Maybe I should just change then. You can't change, anything you'd put on you'd look adorable in. Can it not be adorable then, can I just look average? They looked at each other and back at me. Both: No, they said shaking their heads. Ok, well let's just go to school.

We get to school, one of the new friends I'd made was TJ, I'd found out, based on a spell I'd done that he was a wizard too. And that his parents let him do what he wants. Hey TJ, Alex and I said walking up to him. After we saw him zap on a new shirt, after some of the jocks bullied him. And soon, after we made him prove it, Alex had to prove that she was a wizard too, he knew I was. Alex decided it wasn't fair that his parents let him do whatever he wanted as long as no knew he was a wizard.

After school, we went to go grab a snack, we stopped at hotdog pretzel and pizza stand, and magically got food and magically paid for them also. No one saw a thing. Thanks T.J. no problem girl. So, how is it that on your first day of school the other day, the first friend you make is also a hidden wizard? Magic. Fine, don't tell me I just did, magic, a spell. When we got home, we made our brother come with us where we could talk to him about T.J. Taylor. So guess who Farrah's first friend she made at school was?

Who? She met T.J. Taylor, and guess what else, he's a wizard like us too, and we should have him over! And that T.J.s parents let him use magic whenever he wants, and that to our brother magic is nothing but a waste, that he likes the rules, but that the rules bore Alex, and she's gonna ask dad about changing the rules when he's at his happiest. But he still told us no. And max wanted to know if Martians where tin foil. And he told mom that we met another wizard at school and mom agreed we should have the family over for dinner that night.

And so when we hung out with T.J. again he told us that he had charmed his parents in order to let him, do what he wanted, and that his parents were more like robots than parents now. And then dinner came. And they just popped in. And that his parents bought Noodle Kugel with them. Which was how we were gonna charm our parents to convince them to let us do magic whenever we wanted, for whatever we wanted.

We wanted to show him the lair, but wait its cold down there. Don't be silly, he's a wizard he can just zap on a jacket. His mother told us, and then T.J. made a moving stove to keep him warm and down to the lair we went. I stayed as far away from the fire as possible and so did Jack. Sorry, if its still cold down here, its Jack. No problem. Jack pulled me aside, so that I'd be as far as the heat as possible. He'd keep me cool.

And then T.J. was discussing with Alex and the rest of us how the charm was in the food. That after tonight they'd let us use our magic whenever and wherever we wanted. That the only thing that would've made this plan better is if our brother was here to hate it and upstairs he was waiting for the dinner to go terribly, but it was working. And the next day, when Alex couldn't decide what to wear to school, she poofed up a runway, and then zapped herself into the outfit she picked. And I had too (outfit 11) and we were off.

On our way all to school, our brother said he had been running late cause he missed the subways and we asked him if he'd done any free magic and he said no he hadn't and then, soon the next thing I knew we're doing a spell to help Max with his Mars project, by going to Mars. Transportium nextorbitorium. Even with his protest we were still on Mars, all of us, myself, Jack, Justin, Alex, Justin, and Max.

And after all the chaos and the getting the mars rover back online and that our brother Justin couldn't believe that our parents would be ok with any of this and then we explained that our parents were charmed, at dinner from the Kugel. But then when we went home and the red sand and the Mars Rover came with us, and we'd left Max on Mars, and that's when we were concerned on the free magic thing.

Turns out brownies reverses the effects on the spell and our parents were back to normal. And then we had T.J.'s parents back over again for brownies and now his parents were free of the spell and T.J. was in huge trouble. And we all couldn't be happier to have rules for magic again. And we'd never do it again Yeah right NOT!
