The Talk

"Okay, Grandma. What did you want to talk to us about?" Dakota said as she and Benny walked down the stairs, into the kitchen.

"Right, I wanted to talk to Dakota about her magic." Grandma said as she went down the hall to a wooden door.

"Well, then why do I have to be here?" Benny whined.

"Because it envolves you, genius." she replied. She waved her hands at the door, and mumbled a spell. The door glowed red, green, blue, then yellow. She opened the door and walked inside as the two cousins followed. As they sat down with Grandma facing them, she spoke. "Now, Dakota. You do know that Ethan is a seer, right?" Dakota nodded. "And Benny is a spellmaster?" she nodded again.

"I also know that Sarah is a vampire. So is her best friend, Erica. And Benny's friend, Rory."

"What? How did you know that?" Benny asked as he turned to her.

"I can read minds, doofus!"

"Yeah, but you haven't even met Rory, or Erica!"

"Okay, Benny, I am an earth priestess, and a telepathic 14 year-old! When I hugged you, you were thinking about Erica, and how she's a vampire, and she's Sarah's bestie. And, when I hugged Ethan, I could read his thoughts. He was thinking of how Sarah was his new girlfriend, a vampire girlfriend."

"Okay, but that still doesn't answer my question about Rory!"

"Okay, when we were in the car, you thought: 'I hope Rory doesn't use his vampire nija moves to pop up in the car again.' That's how I know about him!"

"Please stop. We are not here to argue about Sarah, Erica, and Rory. We need to talk about both of your powers."

"Fine." Dakota and Benny said.

"Now, Dakota your powers are coming in. And Benny's came in a year ago. But, don't worry. You will most likely learn faster, because of that extra year to learn life's lessons." Grandma said as she snapped her fingers, and a steaming tea pot with three teacups appeared on the table in front of them.

"Hey!" Benny yelled out defensively.

Dakota poured herself a cup, as did Grandma. "Haha! Girls mature faster than boys!" Dakota yelled, as she punched his arm playfully. He turned to her and was about to punch her back, when she caught his hand without looking. "I wouldn't go there if I were you." she said after seeing his shocked expression out of the corner of her eye. She turned to him and smiled. "In the past four years, I have taken: karate, and every other martial arts class. In school, in Malibu, I was on the girl's wrestling team. And out of school, girl's boxing team."

"Wow, anything else?" he asked, still in shock.

"Hmm. Oh! That's right! I was also on the football team." she replied.

"There was a girl's football team in Malibu?"

"No. I was the only girl on the team. All the guys loved me! I was the best quarter-back that school has ever had!"

"...Wow..." Benny leaned forward and whispered to Grandma. "She scares me!" As a result, both Grandma and Dakota rolled their eyes and smacked him upside the head. "Ow!" he yelled as he sat back and moved a little away from Dakota.

"Anyway..." Grandma said getting their attention back. "Benny, as much as I hate to say it, you are going to be training Dakota until she knows everyting you do."

"WHAT!" they screamed at the same time.

"Just until she knows a years worth of spells and lessons." she said as she stood up and walked to a nearby book shelf. She held out her hands flat and waited as she closed her eyes and concentrated. Then, an old book, that looked similar to Benny's spellbook, slid out of one of the shelves and landed in her hands. She walked back to them and sat back down. "Now this is your spellbook, Dakota." she said as she handed her the book.

The book was a faded dark purple, so it looked almost brown. In the lower right corner, in golden cursive letters, it read:

Dakota Taylor Walker

"Wow, Grandma. How did you get my name on this thing? It looks like it's over a hundred years old!"

"This is magic." she simply said.

"Wow." Dakota repeated.

"Yeah, wow. Why didn't mine have my name on it?" he said as he pulled his book out.

"It does."

"No, it doesn't." he said looking it over. "See, it should be right here." he pointed to the corner.

Dakota looked at him as if he was crazy. She rolled her eyes with an exasperated sigh. She then took it from his hands and flipped it over. "There, doofus!" she said pointing to the lower right corner.

"Oh. Benjamin James Weir."

Grandma sat there with her eyes closed shaking her head. "Benny, that's probably why you say the spells backwards sometimes."

"And you want that," Dakota started, standing up as she pointed at Benny. "To teach me spells?" Grandma sighed sadly. Dakota groaned. She sat down and opened the book to a random page, looked at a random spell, read the words, and thought for a moment. She looked at the other teacup still sitting on the tray, then looked at the teapot. Benny watched her intensely, as Grandma sat there with a smile on her face as she watched her granddaughter think about a spell. Dakota pointed her finger at the cup and read aloud from the book. "Teacup-pess, Levitatess." After she said that, the teacup levitated in the air, she kept her focus as she turned her finger upside down, and gently put the cup on the table. Then she pointed at the teapot. "Teapot, See there, Tea where, Pour there!" she shouted. The teapot lifted into the air, and tilted over the teacup, and poured tea until it was full. Before it was too full she pointed again, and spoke another spell. "Teapot, Teastop." The teapot stopped and went back to it's original spot on the tray. "I did it! I can't believe it!" she said standing up again.

"You did! Benny hasn't even learned the levaitation spell!" Grandma said as she stood up and hugged Dakota.

"So? It's one spell!" Benny yelled as he stood up and stomped out of the room, leaving two confused family members behind him.

"I'll go talk to him." Dakota said as she left the room with both of their spellbooks, and walked up the stairs to Benny's room.

When she knocked on the door he yelled at her. "Go away!"

She tried opening the door, but realized it was locked. She rolled her eyes and sighed, she put down his spellbook in front of the door, and walked away to her room.

Aww... Poor Benny, he's jealous that she completed a spell before he even learned it! All she did was look at a random page, read the spell and focus on levitation! That's an over achiever right there!

So, what will happen to Dakota and Benny? What about Sarah and Ethan? Will Benny still be Dakota's teacher? What about Rory? And Erica?

And where in the world is-!

Heh, sorry. Got a little carried away there.

Anyway,
