Song Lee came in wearing blue pants and a blue shirt. Her hair was completely tucked inside a white cap. She wore latex gloves and a stethoscope around her neck. She went over to Mary and listened to her chest. “Good heartbeat,” she said.

“Thank you Dr. Park,” Mary replied. “Did you scrub your hands for surgery?”

“Of course,” Song Lee answered.

When we heard someone singing, “You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog,” in the hallway, we knew who was coming next.

Dexter dressed like Elvis.

“So where’s Harry?” Mary asked. I could tell she was curious about his costume.

We all looked around.

“He hasn’t showed up yet,” I said.

“Someone’s coming now,” Mary said pointing to the door with her wand.

It was a big brown Kodiak bear.

“Harry?” we all called.

The mystery person took off his bear head.

“It’s me ... Sidney!”

“You’re one hairy dude,” Dexter said.

“Cool, huh? Mom made it from a fake fur coat.” Then he growled in Mary’s face. “Grrrrr!”

“Don’t growl at me!” Mary snapped. “I might change you into a frog with my magic wand! It just needs a little more pixie dust.”

Everyone watched Mary take a pinch of pixie dust out of her gold satin box and sprinkle it over her wand.

Sidney made a face. “That stuff looks like baby powder. My aunt uses it on my little cousin. It keeps his bottom dry.”

“It’s magic pixie dust for Halloween,” Mary insisted.

Sidney sniffed the air. “It smells just like baby powder.” Then he put his bear head back on. “Where’s Harry?” he asked in a muffled voice.

“The second bell is about to ring,” Miss Mackle said. “It’s time to return to your seats, boys and girls. You’ll find a Halloween search-a-word on your desk.”

Mary was the first to sit down. “I bet we won’t be able to tell Harry’s disguise,” she said. “But the next person . in the room has got to be Harry. He’s the only one not here.”

The red second hand kept hopping closer to the twelve. Everyone moved their eyes from the wall clock to the doorway, then from the doorway back to the clock.

No one started their Halloween search-a-word. No one wanted to miss what Harry was going to be this year!

Suddenly, Mary got an idea. She popped out of her seat, tinkled her bells, and waved her wand. A puffy white cloud filled the air. “Magic pixie dust, make Harry appear at the door!”
