I've been puzzling all week about how to put some protections on the play without being too obvious. I mean, a big ritual on the stage or the theater itself is bound to raise a few eyebrows. After the stink the principal made about that new teacher, Taffy Dante, wearing a pentacle to school, I'd say it's not the best idea. So it hit me when I

"Yeah, we haven't really worked on magic together very much lately. We should get back into the habit, I guess." I smile at her. "We could all have dinner together sometime soon. That could be fun."

"That would be great. I kind of need to get a life beyond just work." It had really taken over all my free time since coming back...and that was maybe another good reason to get back into magic more regularly. For the social aspects. "I'm afraid I've turned into something of a workaholic. This was really nice tonight, working with you on the magicks again."

"No guys in the picture then?" I ask. That's surprising. Heather seems like the type who could get dates fairly easily.

"Yeah, it was awesome. I hope it works out and the play goes well. I can't imagine being responsible for something like that!"

"No guys for a while," I say, with touch of chagrin. "Well, at least no guys who didn't want to sleep with me as a condition of employment."

I finish my soda and say, "I'll be happy if it's not a complete disaster!" Of course, that wasn't true at all, otherwise I'd never have done the second spell. Which I knew wasn't totally kosher, since doing a spell on all those kids was...well, a big no-no according to the Wiccan Rede. But it's not like I was doing it for anything they didn't want themselves. Success, a great production.

"Eh, those are the worst kind of guys," I say, finishing up my own soda.

"C'mon, sounds like a lot of work has gone into it already. It won't be a disaster." I rinse out the glass and set it in the sink.

I smile with satisfaction. "No, I think we just ensured it'll be a total hit. And really, most of the kids are pretty good, there's only a few who are ghastly."

I follow her as she moves toward the door. "Plus, I'm totally sending you and Jon free tickets to the Friday night showing. And maybe paying for drinks afterward. Just to show my appreciation."

"We'll be there," I say, grabbing my coat and purse. Jon has already called me once, I see when I check my cell phone. "Can't wait. And I'll see you soon, okay?"

She tells me good-bye and I head over to Jon's to meet him for the movie.
