Az entered the library and saw her sister, DG, sitting on her knees, with her head down on a little table, next to a mouse. If Az didn't know better, the mouse looked very angry at DG.
"DG," said Az. "You asked me to come down here?"
DG turned around to face her sister, "Az, I've screwed up, big!"
"What did you do?" asked Az. She moved over to the chair next to her sister and the mouse. The mouse started to pace, at least, Az thought that's what it was doing.
DG pointed at the mouse, "I changed Mr. Cain into a mouse."
The mouse looked up at Az and she could see it had blue eyes. "HOW?"
"I'm not sure," said DG. "We were talking about some of the lessons that Tutor had been going over. I said some of the spells were tricky and I didn't think I could pull them off. Then, I said something along the lines of it would work better if I saidA-la-peanut butter sandwiches,and, then, Mr. Cain was a mouse."
Az's eyes were as big as saucers. "How did 'A-la-peanut butter sandwiches' even work?"
"It's something Mumford the Magician said on Sesame Street, on the otherside," replied DG.
"Was he a great Wizard on the otherside?" asked Az.
DG laughed and knocked Mouse Cain over. He got up and started to chatter at DG. "Sorry, Mr. Cain." Looking at Az, she explained, "No he is a magician on a children's show."
"Oh," said Az. "Well, it doesn't look like it is going to work again. So, we need to work out a different way to change Mr. Cain back into his human form. We better take him to Mother and see what we can come up with.
"Yeah," said DG. "Mr. Cain, do you trust me to carry you to Mother?"
Az watched and she could have sworn the mouse put his front paws on his hips, looking even more angry, before he crawled up into DG's hand. 'Oh, this is going to be fun,' thought Az as she followed her sister out of the library.
