Chapter 6
Alex: Dad? Professor Crumbs? What are you doing here?
Dad: I would ask the same thing?
Professor Crumbs: How could you expose wizardry again?
Alex: Ethan is a seer, Benny is spellcaster, and Rory, Erica, and Sarah are vampires.
Dad: I know that.
Professor Crumbs: Why didn't you tell me that earlier?
Dad: Because how was I going to drive with the Magic Crystal Replay ball.
Alex: Why do you have the Magic Crystal Replay ball?
Dad: To see what you were doing for the past 26 minutes.
THE MAGIC CRYSTAL REPLAY BALL PLAYS.
Rory: Did I hear a party if not I brought one.
BENNY, ERICA, HARPER, AND ALEX SHOW UP BEHIND RORY.
Ethan: What?
Rory: With my super sensitive vampire hearing I heard Jane is not here so I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for a party. Or a small gathering of friends.
Ethan: I guess okay.
Alex: Ethan can I ask you something.
Ethan: Sure.
BOTH WALK AWAY FROM THE GROUP.
Ethan: That's what I was thinking.
THEY WALK TOWARDS BENNY, RORY, HARPER, ERICA, AND SARAH.
Rory: Let's play truth or dare. I always wanted to pick a question that makes someone choose dare when they pick truth and say I dare you to say the truth.
Benny: For every person who chooses truth I could use the truth spell.
Alex: No I will if you want a truth spell. It affects everyone and me. So save you magic for another time.
Benny: (whispering) Is she hot or what?
Ethan: (whispering) I guess.
Alex: You'll probably end up hating me or loving me.
Some are evil, Some are kind
All must read each other's mind.
MAGICAL WHOSH SOUND.
Alex: Erica truth or dare?
Benny: (chanting) Truth truth truth thru-
ERICA GLARES AT BENNY.
Erica: Truth if it makes him shut up.
Alex: Who do you think is more…irresistible Rory or Benny? And you can't say I would rather drop dead or anything like that. The Truth Spell is in effect.
Erica: I don't know. Both are simply irresistible. What am I saying?
ETHAN, BENNY, RORY, AND SARAH LOOK AT ERICA WITH SURPRISE.
Alex: Who said I should run?
Ethan, Benny, Rory, Sarah, Erica, and Harper: No one
Erica: But you should consider it.
ALEX SCREAMS AND RUNS AWAY FROM ERICA.
SUDDENTLY ERICA STOPS CHASING ALEX AND ALEX STOPS.
Erica: What? You don't know? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW?
ETHAN, BENNY, RORY, HARPER, ALEX, AND SARAH LOOK AT ERICA WITH CONFUSION IN THEIR FACES.
Ethan, Benny, Rory, Harper, Alex, and Sarah: What?
Erica: Like you don't know Benny. "If I had to choose a side I honestly don't know who to choose."
Benny: I didn't- Alex did you put a mind reading spell?
Alex: No did you?
Benny: No.
Alex: YOU DID WHAT? HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID BENNY?
Erica: I don't know what you're talking about but Benny is naturally stupid.
Alex: Why did you use the emotion spell when I used the truth spell!
Benny: Well in case if anybody had to use true emotions.
Alex: Now literally we could read each other's mind.
Rory: Even mentally pictures.
Alex: I don't know.
Rory: Memories from the past?
Alex: I don't know.
Rory: Basically whatever we think is like us talking?
Alex: Yes.
Sarah: Find out what?
Ethan: Nothing. Alex and Benny take the spells off now.
MAGICAL WHOOSH AGAIN THE SPELLS ARE OFF.
Ethan: I'm going to find a board game.
Alex: I'll come too.
ALEX SCOFFS.
Alex: What? No I don't.
Alex: What?
Alex: Fine.
ALEX GETS UP FOLLOWING ETHAN TO THE BASEMENT TO LOOK FOR SOME GAMES.
Alex: Stop it I'll tell you what happened. I was trying to make ponytails in Ethan's hair because I got bored looking for a game and Harper ran off with Benny, Rory, and Erica. I tried to stop her.
Harper: Actually it was the other way around.
Alex: Do you want me to tell them the truth why you came.
Harper: Do you want me to tell them the truth why you came.
Alex: How do you know?
Harper: I've known you long enough to know when you pretending to be nice or actually nice. You're actually being nice. I'm taking a risk. I'm playing the card.
Alex: You wouldn't.
Harper: Yes I Harper Finkle is playing the card.
Professor Crumbs and Dad: Don't.
Professor Crumbs: Even I the great Professor Crumbs ended up leaving the room with embarrassment, fear, and/or tears.
Harper: Twice.
Dad: Harper we better leave before we can.
Alex: And I know exactly what she's going to use while she's playing the card.
Harper: Hey do you all want to know what Alex was really does in the basement.
Alex: You wouldn't and I though you would tell why I actually came here.
Harper: You really want to say that inside of what I'm going to say.
Alex: Yeah I would if you say why you actually came.
Harper: I not going to leave the room crying you are.
Professor Crumbs: Where did you get the popcorn?
Dad: I carried it for the Magic Crystal Replay Ball. Want some?
Professor Crumbs: Don't if I do.
Dad: Professor Crumbs you should poof up some tissues for later.
PROFESSOR CRUMBS POOFS UP A BOX OF TISSUES ON A TABLE.
Harper: Canoodeler.
Alex: You would have done the exact same thing.
Harper: No I wouldn't and if I did I wouldn't have done it right away. How long?
Alex: A couple of days.
Alex: And those couple of days it felt like I was with Mason again!
Harper: Really?
Alex: Yes.
ALEX PUT HER HANDS ON HER HAND AND GETS A VISION.
ALEX SEES BENNY HAD ETHAN A BOTTLE FILLED WITH SOMETHING. ETHAN SPRAYS IT ON SARAH AND ME. THAN WE START GOING CRAZY FOR HIM. THAN SARAH AND ME STARTED HATING THAN STOPPED AND REPEATED.
Alex: What was that?
Harper: What?
Alex: I saw Benny handing Ethan a perfume shaped bottle filled with something and Ethan sprayed it on Sarah and me. Than we started going crazy for him and Sarah and me started hating him than stopped and repeating.
