He hands me the tickets and I take a deep breath. I can't believe I'm really going.

Me. Witches. And the world's biggest butter sculpture.

"I cannot believe someone would throw this out in the trash!"

Storm Chasing

"Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on. But if you're like me, you just keep chasing the storm." - Veronica Mars

"You read it?"

"Yeah. The whole diary."

"What did it say?"

Friday Funkday

"Enchanted? Like magic?"

"The glowing necklace wasn't a clue?"

Really, there was no need to be snarky. But this was my own fault for reciting that poem while lighting candles then spinning around eight times.

Stupid sleepover parties.

It was a Matter of Life and Death...

...and the final clue was in braille?

Ahem. Friday Funkday...

I watch as he paces in front of me. "What are you thinking?" I ask.
"Oh, nothing," he says sarcastically. "Just wondering what the hell we're going to do about it."
"We can't bring him back."
"Wanna bet?"

The cash was all on the table.

All of it.

Donal was not amused. Once again, someone in the Guest Care office (Mrs. Cooks!) thought it would be funny to photoshop his head onto a drawing. Of Donald Duck. Because that never got old.

He looks over his shoulder. "Guess where we're going?"

Sunday Post

She picked up the photo and gasped.

Friday Funkday

I didn't want to believe it. It was impossible! I looked again across the empty classroom to where the book teetered on the edge of the desk.

"Move," I murmured. And again, the book slowly lifted, rising in the air. I swallowed hard. "Down." It set itself back in place.

I breathed out, scared that I was a freak. Then I looked outside the class window to where Marie and Callie were still laughing about me.

And I smiled.
