Chapter 6

Decision Time

"May we have a minute?" asked DA, "Certainly!" i simply answered as i watched the cloud of shiny diamond orb suited teens huddled into a group. I felt horrible that they had to make this kind of descision. Esspecially in this situation. I listened to the teens whispers, there were a few "Oooo's" and "Ahhh's", "If's and buts!" and heads turning to face me then quickly back towards the huddle. I decided to make one last pitch as i floated on my own amongst the gentle purple clouds "What if you turn into a worker bee again Tim and Phoebe? What if you become blood sucking bats again Ralphie, Keesha and Jyoti? What if you suddenly find yourself turning into water for the millionth time! Wanda and Arnold? What if...you find yoursleves again trapped on a spaceship with no control! Dorothy-Ann and Carlos?" i said to them all rather quite firmly.

"Your telling us to go with the first option! Having our memories erased basically!" snapped Carlos, "All i am doing Carlos and i do understand why you are angry is i am trying to make your lives easier as i will not always be here to help you all out!" i snapped back at him. The whole group raised eye-brows, "Why should we trust you?" asked Keesha in concern "Please trust me, i am a good person just trying to help out those who have the magic inside of them! To teach them how to maintain it or if they wish for it to disappear forever! I am leaving this decision in your hands!" i explained firmly. Again my heart was pounding.

The group were slienced like the reaction kids get when a teacher has told them off for being noisy. I felt bad as i wasn't and have never been a teacher like my sisters. They have both said that teacher blood runs in the Frizzle family. I'm just different in my own Frizzle sister way! "Um Beatrice?" a voice yelled out. I look up and noticed that it was Jyoti the newest of the group "Yes Jyoti?" i answer back to her. Jyoti continues "We have made our decision!", "Ok..." i answer to her, "Our decision as much as it is one of the toughfest decisions we have ever had to make! (takes a deep breath) We choose to no longer have the magic..." Jyoti answers sounding disappointed and sad sounding voice. How could you blame her! "Is that something you all want?" I ask in concern and they all nod with sad expressions on their teenage faces "Very well..." i tell them.

"Ok, promise this will not hurt!" i mention as i begin to wave my arms in front of me and click my fingers (only once). I hear everyone swallow nerviously as they all floated together. I ask them to kindly close their eyes and just relax. They all nervously closed their eyes even Arnold! I continue to wave my arms as each person's suit individually started to glow a yellowy colour. Each diamond on the suits were lighting up like glitter. The purple smoke swerved around them like a gentle cyclone. "I'm, i'm feeling..." i hear a voice start to say, i couldn't work out who said it as i couldn't really see them due to the smoke but i knew it came from one of the girls. "Like a warm sensation around my body!" another yelled out, again couldn't pick out who it was only this time it was one of the boys possibly Ralphie. "Thats it everyone! Just concentate feeling the magic that's in you leave your body!" i yell out with instruction as i watched everything infolding in front of me. Hoping that this will all turn out ok!

As the purple smoke began to fade, i spotted what looked like 9 sources of magic leaving everyones bodies and disolving within the walls of my crystal ball. I smiled hoping that the magic of removing the magic within them has worked. As we were still inside the crystal ball, now it was time for as to leave. The group was slient as the magic must've knocked them all out. I cry out to them but none of them responded. Just 9 live-less bodies floating in thin air. I had to get them out quickly! I clicked my fingers on my right hand and a wave of light appeared before us once again.
