----------------------------------

Alex ran into the house, very upset. Her parents weren't home yet. She tossed her backpack at the couch, but missed. She didin't care right now, for all she knew, her life was starting to spiral downwards. One little joke... Alex thought Just one little joke, and act like I said the devil was going to kill God... she wiped tears from her eyes as she remembered the scene. She was goofing off, like normal at lunch when she had a soda to drink, when she made a joke about her best friend. Alex didn't know she'd be THAT offended. Then after that, some stupid popular girl overheard her talking to her friend about the guy she liked and that popular girl blabed it to the whole school, every grade, not just 7th, but 6th and 8th.

In attempt to forget this, she got a ladder and took it to the kitchen and placed it infront of a high, locked pantry. Alex climbed the ladder like a monkey going for a bundle of bannanas. Alex reached into her pocket and pulled out a hairpin. Carefully, she stuck the hairpin into the keyhold and wiggled it around till she heard a click. Alex threw open the pantry door and gazed at the treasure cave of candies. Her parents tried to keep Alex away from sweets, because if she at a lot, she'd go berzerk. Despite her parent's best, she always managed to get into the pantry. Alex reached into the pantry and pulled out some rock candies and re-locked the pantry door and climbed back down.

She went to her room, eating the candy. After thinking for a while, she decided to use her new invention, even though she never tested it. I don't care if it dumps me into the time of the Revolutionary War, I just wanna get away from here... Alex threw the candy wrapper into the trash can and got her pen and notepad and wrote a note to her parents. She placed the note in the kitchen and walked to her lab. Alex opened the door and walked into what seemed like what people imagine Area 51 to look like. She saw a shadow and a giant spider jumped onto her. "Vo!" Alex laughed and got up. The green and black striped spider jumped back and sat like a begging dog. Vo was her first attempt to alter an animal, and she named the spider Vo becasue there was a character named Vo Spader in the Pendragon books. She usually calls him Vo, but if he gets into trouble, she uses his full name.

"You crazy spider, you scared me." Alex said and petted Vo on the head. Alex walked over to a display case and opened it. She picked up some bracelets and put them on her arms. This was a device she made that creates holograms, either she can change her appearance, make things appear, or change other peoples appearances. Alex walked up to a machince and picked up a watch and put it into her pocket. Vo came up to her and gave her these adorable, cute, begging eyes that nobody can ever resist. "I don't know if I can take you..." Alex said "I'm going to try and find Erik..." Vo just sat there and gave her these eyes. "Oh, alright, I may need you to protect me from robbers or muggers or something." Vo smiled and hopped into the machine. Alex strode over to a panel and typed in a date, glanced at it again, and walked into the machine herself. Instantly, a bluish light engulfed them and she felt like she was being jerked around. She opened her eyes and found herself stitting in an alley, on a rainy night. Alex looked around for Vo and saw him, but he was the size of a puppy now and walked up to Alex, begging to be held. She picked him up, and looked at her reflection in a puddle. Oh my God... Alex looked like she was seven years old again, and she was wearing a scarlet red dress. She had the watch still in a pocket in her dress, and she still had on the bracelets, looking brand new. Vo climbed up Alex's arm and onto her shoulder, then ran into her hair, as if he got scared. "Vo, what's wrong?" Alex whispered. Alex walked out of the alley and ran into a tall, chubby-looking man.

"Hello, are you lost? Where are you're parents? Surely, they wouldn't let you wonder around at night?" the man said.

"I have no parents..." Alex said softly, as if she were scared. Dang, my voice sounds...Funny

"Oh, an orphan. Were you looking for the orphanage?"

"Er,..."

"Or would you be interested in joining my fair?" the man said with a smile and brought out a piece of paper. "There are gypsies that could teach you, but I must ask if you have any unusual talents?"

"Yes..." Alex said, thinking of her hologram divices. She held out her hands and thought of a rose. Slowly a rose began to appear.

"What kind of magic is this?!!!!!" asked the man, jumping back, and then asked "Can you turn that into money?"

Alex nodded and the rose turned into francs. "How about a diamond?" the man asked. Alex thought of the most beautiful diamond she saw, that was reasonable looking, nothing like the Hope Diamond. The man's eyes grew wide and reached out to touch it. "God, it must be real!" the man exclaimed. Alex's divice made holograms feel real. "That's some talent," The man said, watching the diamond disappear "You'd definatly bring in the people! Come, come! You'd love it at the fair more than an orphanage!" With a nod, Alex followed. Vo reached out his head and made some noise in her ear. "Don't worry, Vo. Erik's defantly going to be there, I could reconize the flyer. He will be there." Vo shook his head and went back to hiding in Alex's hair.
