"Mama! Please tell me my fortune again today!" A little Magica, her dark hair in pigtails that swished around with her excited movements as she bounced around behind her mother. Her mother smiled at her. "Of course, my dear. You know I love telling your fortune, though you might want hold off asking again for a while after this; this is the fourth day this week!" She laughed as they sat at her mother's fortune-telling table which was draped with a dark blue tablecloth embroidered with all the constellations of the night sky.
Magica watched with nothing short of awe as her mother took her crystal ball from it's cabinet and set it on the table. "Let's use the crystal ball this time and see what it shows us today hm?" Her mother said as she waived her hands over the crystal ball and chanted some words. "Oh, crystal ball show us a glimpse of the future; impart us with some small knowledge of things to come." Magica looked intently into the crystal ball as it began to fill with a magical mist that swirled around for a few moments before parting to reveal an image.
"Well that's interesting." Her mother said as the crystal ball revealed the image of a boy around Magica's age, and if things in the background where accurate, it was not a vision of the future but a current vision of a boy who existed somewhere in the world. "Mama why is the crystal ball showing us him?" Magica asked, annoyed that it didn't seem to working. Her mother's previous fortune tellings had been pretty standard; her sisters being mean, she and Poe getting a good grade on the next week's test, but never had something like this come up before.
"Well I would have to say it most likely means that his future is connected to yours somehow, you two are destined to cross paths in someway someday." Her mother explained. "Really? How can you know for sure?" "Because I can read the future, at least what little that can be read. You know I've told you that future in it's entirety is not set in stone so the only things that be truly foretold are things that are meant to happen one way or another." Magica nodded. "So, the crystal ball is saying that I'm going to encounter this boy one way or another in the future?" "Exactly my dear. Although we won't know how or why until the day comes that you two meet because that will be entirely up to the two of you."
Her mother grinned slyly. "Who knows what kind of connection you two will have; you could be friends, enemies, maybe he could even be your future husband!" Her mother laughed while Magica just crinkled her little beak as she studied the boy's hard and determined expression. "Enemies, definitely enemies. This kid looks like nothing but trouble to me."
Her mother just continued to laugh but the sound suddenly mixed with and was replaced by the sounds of destruction and Huey's wailing apologies as Magica was pulled from her memory dream. She looked at the clock on the nightstand beside the bed and just groaned. 3:00 am. The spell just couldn't last through the night.
