Stella dashed through the corridors holding the book close to her chest. She sprinted up the stairs and ran to her dormitory pushing the door open quietly to prevent it from creaking. Then, she slipped carefully into the room in hope that the others either weren't there or wouldn't see her. To her surprise, there was a small note on the table.

Hi Stell,

We've gone to Red Fountain, we did look for you but we couldn't find you, we should be back at noon.

Bloom x

Stella smiled as she realised she would have the whole dorm to herself. The only reason they couldn't find her was because she was in the library, that's the last place anyone would think to look for her. She sat down at the table and slammed the book down in front of her. Then, she apprehensively flicked through the tatty pages again and lay eyes page she wanted. She'd hurried out of the library so quickly that she'd missed the effects section. Her eyes scanned the page as she continued to read some more.

Effects

The only effects include a changing of personality. There are no side effects. 5 ml of the created potion is enough to generate the change.

Thank Magix, she thought. I wouldn't actually want her to suffer. Although, I do seem to remember that in potions class when we learnt about it, you had to add to the potion an essence of the person you want them to become like. Not the person they already are. Well, I never listen so I doubt I'm right.

She read the first instruction:

Pour 50ml of water into a bowl

She stood up and walked over to the sink in their main room and reached into the cupboard and pulled out a measuring jug and a bowl. Then, she ran the cold tap and filled the jug with 50ml of water and poured it into the bowl. She then took the bowl over to the table and sat down. She glanced back to the tatty page in the book.

Perform the spell, this will cause the water to absorb the following objects and perform the task it was created to do

Whatever you say darling!

"Change this person, strip them bare,

Remove from them what once was there."

Stella looked at the water as it began to bubble as her sun power shone into it. Slowly, it turned a deep blue. She grimaced as she looked at the peculiar colour. She then looked over to the next instruction:

Add the hair

Hair? Where on Magix am I going to find one of Tecna's hairs, other than on her head of course? She sat quietly for a moment thinking how she was going to acquire this object without physically pulling it off Tecna's head. Then, she realised. She stood up and went into Tecna's room, careful not to move anything. She then pulled back the quilt of Tecna's neatly made bed and picked a vivid magenta hair from her pillow. She held it between her finger and thumb at a distance from her; she was never fond of stray hairs. Carefully, she put the lilac quilt back over the pillow and shut the door behind her. She leaned over the musty blue concoction she had created and dropped the hair in. She watched carefully as the hair disintegrated immediately. Oooo! It's working, next ingredient. She scanned the page for the next instruction.

Add the representative object

An object to represent Tecna? Her computer? No, she'll know if that's gone. Her PDA, she'll notice that to. Hey, how about a USB stick. It stores lots of information like Tecna does and represents her power of Technology. Yeah, a USB stick. I'll have to make sure there's nothing on it else she'll get really mad. If she notices it's gone, I'll just have to convince her she's lost it. A USB stick it is.

She left again for Tecna's and Musa's room in search of a memory stick. She rummaged through the draws and cupboard, being careful again not to move anything too much. And then, she saw 4 teal USB sticks, hidden and forgotten at the back of a draw still in the packaging. She reached in and picked one out. Well, if it's still wrapped up, there isn't going to be anything on it is there? She isn't gonna miss it either, there are 4 of them.

She ripped of the packaging to reveal a fresh bight teal coloured USB stick. She walked over to her own room and hid the rubbish in her bin. Closing the door carefully behind her, she went over to the potion dropped the USB stick into the liquid. Within second, it was no more.

Add to another drink for the person to ingest

Well, I could just offer to make the drinks later and slip it right in there. No one would know.

Pushing the chair in quietly, she went back into her own room and searched her draws for a bottle to keep some in. Then, she found a small glass perfume bottle which was empty, so she went back into the main room and scooped some up. I think that's about 5ml, I sure hope it doesn't turn the whole of her drink the same revolting colour, yuck! Grabbing the bowl at both sides, she poured the rest away down the sink and put the little bottle in her pocket so she wouldn't lose it. Stella was just about to think of what would happen if it went wrong, or if someone found out what she did, or if it was really obvious that Tecna had become totally different rather than more sociable like she had intended, when a small voice echoed in Stella's head.

She's the one who needs to change, isn't she Stella.

Yes, Stella replied in her head.

By this point, she had totally forgotten about her homework, and Darcy was mainly in control of Stella's actions. Of course if Darcy was fully in control of Stella, everyone would notice Stella's change in personality substituted for Darcy and this would blow their cover. So Stella just switched on the TV and sat down in front of it until the others got back. She wasn't planning on meeting them, especially if Timmy, Brandon and Tecna were there. Now she just had to wait for her plan to come together, and so did the Trix.

Stella has created the potion successfully, so now we'll have to see if it works. Stay tuned to find out what will happen x
