"Let me get this straight. You found a spell in a book, and read it--where--in a movie theater?" "No--they were showing 'Cup's Club' at the library." "The same library the book came from?" Fake asked. "No--that was the school library. This was the main library." "And where is this book?" Granticaine asked. "I put it on the seat beside me." Millicent said. "I memorized the spell and recited it." "Okay I can't take it anymore." Mallie said. "What happens in the movie?" "What, the whole movie?" Millicent said. "No! The part after this part." Mallie said. "Well, you see, that's sort of why I chose this movie. This is real near the end. They kinda leave it open, you know, to like individual interpretation. We talked about it in class. You know, what people thought would happen and everything." "Great." Mallie said. "Do you want to go back, Millicent?" Granticaine asked. "Um--I dunno. If I could live here with you guys I don't think I'd ever want to go back!" "The spell." Classic of Logic said. "Do you remember it?" "Yeah. Uh-huh" Millicent said. "Is there a spell to reverse it?" Classic asked. "I think there was, but I didn't really read it." "Don't you think you should try and get back? You can always do the spell again, but you must have family who'll worry sick about you." Classic said. "I guess. But you know--I didn't really think it would work. I never expected it to." "So recite the spell!" Classic said. "Um, okay. But it doesn't make any sense. It's all about going into the story, not getting out. But I'll try it anyway. Here goes." With this, she recited the rhyming spell, and when she finished, she was still there. "Guess it doesn't work the other way around. I told you there was another one to get back." "You're a long way from Canda." Fake said. "Canada!" Millicent said, stressing the pronunciation. "Canada, whatever." Fake said. Daptin lost his patience. "Okay people, whatever. Millicent, congrats, you're now an honorary member of Cup's Club. Now can we all get a goddamn move-on? I for one really want to see what happens next in the adventures of Cup's Club, especially if it means us getting back to reality safe and sound." "Okay." Coabler said. "Millicent, as leader of Cup's Club, I do grant you honorary membership. Now all of you, forward!" "I'm really here." Millicent muttered, falling into step. "I can't believe it." "We can't either." Daptin said wearily. -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
