Part Three
The day had been fun, a little weird, but still very fun. Claire and Kelly had got on really well. The night, however, was going to be even better. Kelly had the new Buffy box set, Claire had brought the new Angel, they had lots of food and the house was to themselves. They were gonna veg out and watch the best shows on television. They got the violence, comedy and drama of BtVS followed by the drop-dead gorgeousness of Angel, which now had Oz, a plus for Claire.
Outside the weather wasn't as happy as the girls, all this summer sunshine had taken a toll and it look like a serious thunderstorm was coming. For Claire though it was just the cherry on top.
"You like rain?" Kelly asked in astonishment.
"Some rain, it depends. But I love thunderstorms! The excitement of the lightening, the rumble of the thunder, and the rain is just so extreme. The best things happen in thunderstorms. Don't you think it adds, like, magic to the evening," Claire was a sucker for all things weird and mystical, it may have had something to do with Buffy. "And extra, there's a full moon tonight."
"Talking of magic," Kelly pulled out the book she bought earlier. "What d'you think?"
"I can't believe you bought that, it's probably a load of crap, you know just publicity," Claire may like the idea, but when it came to the real thing she was always the pessimist.
"But that woman was so freaked when she saw we were gonna buy it?"
"Oh yeah, with all that be careful what you wish for crap. And what was with the sudden 90% off thing?" Claire questioned.
"I don't care, it lightens my credit card bill. So what do you reckon? Shall we make a wish?" Kelly asked.
"I don't know, I thought we were gonna watch Buffy?"
"We will. Why not? You scared?"
Claire hated being called scared, and fact was she wasn't. This sort of thing she would love to be able to do. She just didn't want to be disappointed when the spell didn't work like everything else didn't work.
"Look it won't work, these things never do. Believe me, I've tried the Ouija board, I've done the research, I've looked at all the pagan sites. It doesn't work, hate to say it, but magic doesn't exist."
"But you said it yourself, the rain adds magic, plus the full moon, it's perfect. So what if it doesn't work, it's just a bit of fun. Wouldn't you like to wish Seth Green here right now?" Kelly added, knowing this was Claire's soft spot.
"Well would be nice to see him, and of course you'd have to wish David Boreanaz here, I don't want you feeling like a third wheel."
"Is that a yes?" Claire smiled and then again when a crack of lightening flashed through the window, followed shortly by a growl of thunder.
"That storms pretty close, you never get them that close down where I live." She smiled almost evilly at Kelly; she'd been perfecting that for years. "Lets make magic."
