The Glass Slipper

It's A Touch Of Magic

Freanna: "That boy sure is a good and loyal friend."

The old wizard is watching from her magic crystal ball and will give them a solution for their problem.

Gretchen: "McGee, what will we do to the glass slipper?"
McGee: "Maybe your wizard friend could help us with our situation."
Squirt: "Maybe you're right."
McGee: "Let's go check her out."

They all set to go to the wizard's house in the middle of the forest. Gretchen cannot find her casual shoes so she decided to wear the slipper that left. To all their relieves, Gretchen still knows the way there.
Once they get there, Gretchen knocked on the old wood door. The wizard opened the door.

Freanna: "Oh my little Gretchen, welcome. I see you brought some friends with you."
Gretchen: "We want to discuss something...."
McGee: "Something important."
Freanna: "And is it about the glass slipper?"
Gretchen: "Yes, how did you know?"
Freanna: "You only wear one, not both. Please get in!"
Squirt: "Thank you."

They all entered the cottage (which they thought is messy), and they were very surprised that the cottage is very clean and neat.

McGee: "Wow, you have a beautiful house!"
Freanna: "Thank you. So where's the another glass slipper?"

Gretchen showed the shattered glass slipper's pieces. Luckily she brought it using a jar, so the shattered pieces didn't fall along the way.

Gretchen: "It's every inch of them."

Freanna payed attention to the shattered pieces and finally talk.

Freanna: "Did someone purpousely break it?"
Gretchen: "Yes."
Freanna: "Now I know what's going on."
Three of them: "What?"
Freanna: "These slippers made with a touch of magic from Gretchen's shoes. The magic cannot be resisted but only by a pure anger. So that is why only a pure anger that could destroy this slipper."
McGee: "So, how do you fix this?"
Freanna: "Well there is one thing that could fix it."
Gretchen: "What is it?"
Freanna: "It is pure love."
Three of them: "Pure love?"
Freanna: "Yes, pure love. The energy of the pure love which flows in the air is stronger than everything."
Gretchen: "How can I find it?"
Freanna: "You'll see it when you feel it."

They all looked at each other still thinking of what she've just said. While then, they decided to think of it in the camp.

McGee: "I think we should get back now."
Freanna: "Okay, kids. Hope you can find a way through this problem."
Squirt: "Hopefully."

Before they all went back, Gretchen decided to ask something to her.

Gretchen: "Freanna...."
Freanna: "Just call me Ann."
Gretchen: "Okay Ann, what is the best gift that I could give to McGee? It's almost his birthday, and I wanted to give him something special."
Ann: "Well, you can give him anything, just trust your heart and I'm sure that he'll love it."
Gretchen: "Okay, thanks."

After that, they all left and get to the cabin before it's dark. Once they arrived, the sun already sets. The campers get to their cabin when suprisingly Rosebud shows up in front of them.

Rosebud: "Well, where are you going? You never leave to the forest without Sawyer."
McGee: "Well (chuckles) it was a great question and will be answered by time."

They tried to avoid Rosebud's curiousty, but they all know (maybe) it'll not work with her.

Rosebud: "Uh... uh... time never answers my questions, so answer it!"
Gretchen: "Well... the answer that you're looking for is right here."

Gretchen showed her glass slipper that she wears to Rosebud.

Gretchen: "An old wizard named Ann gave it to me a few days ago."
Rosebud: "You are a quite lucky girl."
Gretchen: "Not so, Suzi broke the other one this morning."
Rosebud: "Well it can be fixed. Ann always knows what she said."
McGee: "You know Ann?"
Rosebud: "Of course I know. She visited me 3 years ago and we've become good friends. Okay you may go, you have answered my question so go to sleep."
Three of them: "Okay!"

They all finally went into the cabin. They were lucky because once they get in, it's raining already which means the whole evening will be spent in the cabin.

McGee: "Gretch, where's the shattered pieces?"
Gretchen: "Oh here."
McGee: "Anyway why did you keep it in the jar?"
Gretchen: "I don't know, I saw a jar and I just put it there."
Squirt: "Maybe we should keep an eye on it."
McGee: "Good idea Squirt. But no one can stay up late until morning."
Gretchen: "Then where should we keep it? The whole cabin is not to safe. Suzi might come anytime."

They all think how to keep it safe. While thinking, Gretchen put the slipper that she wears and the shattered pieces in the box where McGee found it.

Gretchen: "Hope it'll be safe through the night."

Right when she closed the box, it suddenly turned into transparent glass box without any hole and cannot be opened.

McGee: "Well I think it'll be safe."
Gretchen: "Let's see if it's breakable or not."

Gretchen punches the box with all her strenght, but it caused no reaction to the box. They are all relieved to see that.
After some night activities in the cabin (since it's raining outside), they are on their pajamas and ready for bed.

Squirt: "Good night guys!"
Gretchen: "Good night!"
McGee: "Good night!"

With that, they slept peacefully.
