This will be a rewrite of the episode #IllusionsOfGrandeur but instead of Karen it will be. Kara.
Kara POV

"Thank you, Thank you." Zees father thanks from on stage after the audience claps after he magically appears on stage. After his last trick."Please, a round of applause for my charming daughter!" He yells presenting Zee as the spotlight shines on her. The crowd begins to clap and I do as well. When Zee spots me in the crowd she sends a wink my way. I smile back her way sending a small wave.

"And now ladies and gentlemen, we've come to my final trick of the evening." He starts to explain. "A trick so risky, so daring, that the squeamish among you may want to look away. Tonight, I will make my lovely assistant..."With a wave of his wand a somewhat crate appears big enough to fit a person the door opening. "Disappear." He finishes. The audience begins to cheer as Zee walks inside. The door shuts after she enters. The box begins to fly in the air as he chants some sort of spell. "Spirits beyond. I summon thee here. Heed my command. Make this girl disappear." He finishes the box beginning to glow a purple color. "Behold." He yells as the box lands and opens being empty inside. I get up and start clapping from excitement and so does the rest of the audience cheering for an Encore.

A few minutes later

Where in zees room and she's wiping her make up off while I'm gushing over her life.

"That was amazing Zee! I can't believe this is your life, your like a total star." I claim with excitement before taking a seat at the edge of her bed.

"Yeah, Well..." she sighs

"Oh my god and the fact that you've spent your whole life traveling the whole world entertaining people with your dad, it's so cool." I exclaim.

She starts combing her hair. "Hmm..Indeed. I hear her respond.

"Your seriously the biggest celebrity I know." I tell her.

"Maybe. But I'm about to be even bigger. Through the mirror I watch her face turn from careless to and evil grin. She stands up and goes behind her folding screen.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused. Then gasp. "Wait your not leaving the act, are you?" I ask.

"What? Of course not." She sticks her hand out waving it as a sign of no. "That would break poor daddy's heart." She explains. "But I am working on my own act."Her voice slowly rising to more interest as she speaks. "One day people will know the name, Zee Zatara!" She exclaims as her her hat flips to her hand and she pops out of her folding screen in her magician outfit. Placing her hat on her head sparkles flying all around her. She then looks at me "and that, my dear kara, is where you come in."She grins at me.

I suddenly find myself the next day in the middle of the amusement park. I groan what have I gotten myself into. Zee then comes next to me tossing a mega phone speaker at me.

"Whenever your ready." Zee tells me not breaking her smile.

I groan and take out my index cards that Zee prepared for me. I clear my throat and start speaking into the mega phone speaker."Prepare yourself ladies and gentlemen, for an experience unlike any other. This is the great and powerful Zee Zatara, Princess of presti.... Prestididge..."

"Prestidigitation." Zee corrects me still holding her smile.

"Presti..gitation." I finally say.

"Prestidigitation." She tells me trying to correct me.

The we both look up when we see a crowd of people forming. I can tell Zee's upset at being ignored and she stalks up to the crowd to see what the fuss is about. Dragging me along of course I groan.

We both look to see a guy with black hair and blue streaks holding up a coin.

"Wow, Zee he wears more eye shadow than you." I comment and I feel Zee's glare on me.

The guy starts to talk. "All right. Look, look. Right here eyes on me. Ready? Heads or tails?" He asks the lady. The lady responds with heads. We both watch as he switches the coins.

"Did you see that?! He totally switched hands." Zee says clearly annoyed by this. Everyone begins to cheer in exitment at his trick as it comes out heads.

"Ugh. A double-headed coin? Really? How uninspired." She groans. "What's he going to do next, the detachable thumb trick?" She asks no one in particular. The guy does exactly that and the people exclaim there excitement by clapping.

Zee face palms next to me. "You have got to be kidding me!"

"Alright pick a card? Any card. Go ahead go ahead." He tells the same lady. She grabs it and shows everyone the card. Before putting it back in the pile and shoving the cards in his pockets. "Uh-huh. Okay ready? Watch this. Watch. Ready? Wait for it....is this your card?" He asks tearing his shirt and the ace of spades symbols being on his chest. Some girls sigh and pass out I face palm at this trick.

Zee clearly losing it walks up to the guy dragging me along. "That isn't magic." She tells the guy. "Your nothing but an overly-leathered,  filmflam man." She claims slapping his cards out of his hands. All the cards falling to the floor being ace of spades. "See!"Everyone gasps.

Some guys suddenly shouts. "He's turned them all into aces of spades!" Another yelling. "He's increadible!"

I can tell Zee's annoyed by the way she standing. "Ugh! That is not magic." She takes her wand out holding it to her forehead. "This is magic." She claims. Chanting a spell and turning the flower design on a mans shirt into real flowers. Chanting another spell she gives a bald man hair. Then throwing confetti into the air she chants one final spell turning them all into butterflies. I gotta say this is way better that that eye shadow guys performance how's he gonna top this. "Ta-da." Zee exclaims after her final trick.

The someone from the audience yells "fake!" Making me and Zee freeze up. I hear a bunch of voices in the crowd saying she could learn a few things from ace of spades. I feel anger boil up in me.

"Are you serious!" I yell clenching my fists. Then I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Kara just forget it." She tells me. We both turn to look and see the guy doing the same trick and Zee begins to walk away. I quickly follow after Zee.

"Hey I know! How about some ice cream?" I ask hoping that will cheer her up. She agrees but still looks sad. Zee waits for me at are table as I go to order us a banana split to share. When I come back her face is laying on the table.

"Zee you alright?" I ask worried about her.

"Oh kara..." she lifts her up to look at me. "I just want to show the world what I can do, the kind of magician I really am. I just wanna touch an audience." She says stretching her arm out as if to grasp something then placing it back on the table.

I sigh as I place a hand on top of hers. "Don't worry Zee, I know one day people will see the kind of magician you really are and then they'll be lining up to watch you." I tell her.

"Thanks kara." She smiles at me. I smile back at her.

Then an idea pops into my head. "Zee what are you doing next Saturday?" I ask her already planning everything out.

"I don't think I'm doing anything..why?" She asks me.

"Nothing just make sure your free that day." I tell her before running off.

Zee's POV

I don't know what that was about but kara suddenly ran off. I still feel a little down, I feel like all never make my dream come true.

"No I can't think like this." I tell myself before getting up I should give up that easily.

I just need to keep practicing I'll come up with a performing so dashing so awe inspiring that It will make everyone notice me.

Once I make it home I head to my fathers stage doing my act I've been working on pretending there's and audience.
