I feel the familiar rush of cold and then whoosh! We are sucked into the air, and the next thing I know, we are standing in a bathroom stall in the train station.

“Ew,” I say. A piece of toilet paper is stuck to my heel.

“Could have been worse,” Miri says. “Could have been the men’s.”

“Mir, you have some of the spell still in your hair.” I pluck at the dandruff-like flecks. Note to self: don’t use this spell when wearing black. “Is it on me?”

After she picks it off, we check ourselves out in the bath-room mirror, and we’re ready.

Her eyes go wide. “Rachel!”

“Miri!”

“Why are we in these dresses?”

Did the go spell wipe out her memories? “Because we were at the Sim?”

She flicks my arm. “I mean what’s our reason for Dad? Unless you want to tell him the truth.”

My heart speeds up. “Now? No! Definitely not. Let me think.”

“We should just tell him! He’ll be excited! Trust me, I know he will.” Her eyes are lit up with so much hope and love that it makes me nervous. Miri has always kept my dad on a bit of a pedestal. Nothing is ever his fault; it’s always Jennifer’s. But what if we do tell him, and what if he doesn’t react the way Miri thinks he will? What will happen to Miri?

“Miri,” I say carefully, “we can’t just tell him now. That’s insane. It’s too spur-of-the-moment. We need to think it through.”

She sighs. “We’ll just tell him we went to a party.”

“Why are we at a dress-up party that ends at six? That makes no sense. Let’s use the transformation spell to change into something more casual.”

She hugs her new outfit with her arms. “No way! I’m not zapping this dress!”

Oh, sure, my wardrobe was fine to play magical chairs with, but her dress is too precious. “Then let’s just go home and change.”

“By magic?”

“No, by train. Of course by magic! And then we’ll come right back.” I check the time on my phone. “We have seven minutes. We’d better be fast.”

I toss the concoction into the air and chant:

“Through space we flow.

To our apartment in New York

We shall go!”
