Part 3
After Dorie locked up the house, she and Caitlyn went to Mirabelle's house for the meeting. Dorie had returned the map to Patina along the way.

"Tell me again the reason why are you dragging me to this place, Dorie."

"Because, Caitlyn, Mirabelle wants to explain something to us."

Later, at Mirabelle's bedroom, Dorie, Caitlyn, and Reanne listened to Mirabelle.

"Well, gang, I have one thing to say: I won't be seeing you for the next three days because, starting tomorrow, I'll be visiting my aunt in another town. Until I come back, you'll go on without me."

"Will you be safe?" Reanne asked.

Mirabelle nodded. "Well, I guess we'll be seeing you soon, Mirabelle," Dorie said as she, Caitlyn, and Reanne left. The next day at school, Dorie walked up to Todd for a chat.

"Hey, Todd," she said.

"Goodwyn? What are you doing here?"

"May I have a quick word with you?"

"Go ahead."

"You know Mirabelle from our class, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"She told me that she's visiting her aunt for three days, and Reanne and I will go on without her and --"

"Whoa, Dorie! You don't have to go rapid fire on me, okay?"

"Look, I'm sorry, alright? I just didn't mean offend you."

"I guess you're right. I'll take that thing I said back, Dorie."

"Oh, look at the time. I have to go to next class, bye!"

"For one thing, Dorie's second-rate," Todd thought, "yet she… What am I saying? But still."

Two days later at the magic shop, Dorie and Reanne were using their magic as a test to improve their skills when Patina came in.

"You two girls come out here for a moment," she said. "Mirabelle's back from her trip."

Excited, Dorie and Reanne came to greet her.

"Mirabelle, you're back," Reanne said. "How's your visit with your aunt?"

"Not bad, I guess."

"Come on, Mirabelle, let's go practice our magic," Dorie said.

Later that night, while the rest of her family was watching TV, Dorie was in her bedroom talking with Reanne on the phone.

"Well, what are we going to do tomorrow, Dorie?" she asked her.

"That depends, but we're going to use our magic for tomorrow."
