MCA #10 - Saturday morning

[light_a_spark]

The bed Roy woke up in was rather big, but big beds were fun and he wriggled away from the girl sleeping beside him to inspect the heap of kittens lying at the foot of the bed. Dee got up to inspect him back and her whiskers tickles his cheek and nose, making Roy giggle.

"Stop that! It tickles."

((For the apartment owner.))

"I can't make all of them," he reasoned. "Pick one."

"You pick one!" Aly replied. "I wanna be surprised."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're demanding," he told her. He sat on his knees, scraping the falling cereal together. Might as well make use of it. "I need something to draw."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"You could draw the kitty," Aly pointed out logically.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Something to draw with," Roy corrected.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oh!" She jumped up and ran into the other room. "Like a crayon?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Yes, or chalk," he called back, a little amused that she was being helpful now.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly came back with a big 128 box of crayons. "Don't hurt the tips," she said anxiously.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I won't," he promised, picking out one that would be easy to make out against the kitchen tiles.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She knelt down next to it. "Do you like that one best? Is the colour important?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"No," he told her, starting to draw his transmutation circle. "I just want to see it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"But the shape is?" she asked. "What if it were invisible? Would it still work?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If it's there," he replied, his concentration on making the circle as perfect as possible.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"How would you know if it was 'nvisible?" Aly asked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"If I draw it," he shrugged and he sat back on his haunches.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She leaned waaaay forward to look at the circle. "Now what?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy reached for her arm to draw her back from the circle. "Now I transmute it."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"How?" she asked.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"You're impatient," Roy told her and he leaned forward to touch the circle with both hands. Instantly there was a blue light and he concentrate on the cereal which started to reshape itself into a little horse.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"'M not!" she whined. "Just wanna kno-ooooooooooooooh. It's working!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Of course it was working. The shape finally settled into a horse, it was a lot cruder and with less details but it was most definitely a horse. "There," Roy said proudly.

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't magic!" she said, sounding surprised. "Can I touch it?"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Cause it isn't!" Roy nodded. "It's okay."

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you're not a dork," Aly said thoughtfully, looking at the little horsey. "So cute!"

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Am not," Roy agreed importantly.
