“Okay, we have to make something and fast.” I tried to calm down and think of something to make that I could get out to the dining room lickety split. The answer came within seconds. “I think chocolate chip cookies might be the fastest, because I can serve them warm with milk.” I pointed at Beth. “Don’t let anyone leave. I need fifteen minutes.”

She saluted me and took off for the front.

I turned to Carol. “Come on.” We hurried back into the cooler, where I hopped up onto the stepladder and grabbed the bowl of chocolate chips.

Two minutes later, I had the batter mixed and Carol and I dolloped them onto a tray to get into the oven straight away. Carol spooned, and I blasted them with a bit of magic, murmuring the words to a spell I knew too well, and focusing on the effect I wanted the magic to have on the recipe. I’d already done the chocolate chips with a chill-out spell, but it needed more. I put more calm energy as Carol scooped, and we got them in the oven as fast as we could.

“Couldn’t you do a spell on the dining room at large?” Carol whispered, dropping her hand while the scoop in front of her kept floating in the air and dropping the dough on the baking sheet.

I shot her a look, and she sighed, then grabbed the handle with her hand again. Yes, Carol’s magic was really useful and would make things quicker, but we couldn’t risk the human staff or customers seeing her witchy abilities.

“I don’t think so.”

“Why not?” she asked, frowning.

Being a witch meant I had powers outside of just cooking, but nothing that was as powerful or would impact the customers as quickly. Mixing magic and food was simply my greatest strength.

I shook my head. “No, and let’s make a second batch just in case.” I pulled over the flour. “If I do a spell on the whole room, the people who didn’t eat the pancakes will be affected too and might pass out. They’d calm down too much.” Plus, I’d have to figure out a spell that would work like that, and now wasn’t the time to go research spells.

She tapped the side of her nose. “Makes sense. I didn’t think about that.”

As more orders came in, I helped the kitchen since Vic was out there working on making sure nobody got too crazy. Finally, the timer on my phone went off and I hurried back to the oven, hoping my kitchen staff could handle the rest of the orders without me. “No time to let them cool,” I muttered as we pulled them off the pan and put them on plates. “Will you have the servers come here?”

Carol jumped off of a prep table and took off for the dining room. A few seconds later, the first server came in. “Take one of these to each table and give them to the customers who ate pancakes. Make sure they eat them but don’t let anyone else.
