Now You See It… - Do You Believe In Magic?

Chapter 3 - Finales Are Always Disasters (Part 1)

-------------------------------------

Alyson ran up the step to the Magic Mansion. She quietly opened the door and looked around. No one was in the lobby, they were all in the stage room. She quickly shoved her bags into a broom closet and went to find Danny.

She hid behind a curtain and watched Zoey go on stage. Brandon was wailing about wardrobe malfunctions, and Danny was in a corner talking with Max. After Zoey came back, Max left to introduce Brandon, who had calmed down.

Alyson crept up behind Danny and tugged his sleeve.

"Alyson? What are you-"

"Shh! I have to tell you something!" She whispered and pulled him farther away from the group. "You're in horrible danger." She held up the picture.

He blinked. "Wow, a picture. That put my life in danger, huh?"

"No, look! He's wearing the ring Max gave you. It's Antonio DeMilo. He died in an onstage accident while wearing that ring!"

Danny looked at her expectantly. "So?"

"So, you have to let me take it off!" Alyson said frustratedly.

"No! You don't know how good it feels!" He replied.

"Well how good is it gonna feel when your skull is crushed!" Alyson whisper-yelled. "I don't even know why I'm trying to help you!"

"Well neither do I!" Danny said.

Max began to introduce Danny.

"I have to go."

"Fine! Don't listen to me! You're making a big mistake Danny!" Alyson called after him.

She ran after him and crouched on the sidelines behind the curtains.

Danny explained his trick, and the weight began to float. Alyson glanced at Max as he flicked his finger.

The weight began to fall.

"Danny!" Alyson screamed, and ran onto the stage. She pushed him out of the way, falling to the floor in the process.

When she looked up, the weight was hurtling towards her.
