The Musician and the Magician chapter 6 part 2

The Musician and the Magician chapter six part two.

I DO OWN THIS.

Me and Danny were doing the dishes while the others were choosing a game.
"Soooo." He started. "Has Logan asked you out yet?"
"Dream on Danny boy."
"You've known each other for three months now."
"Yeah, that's not young, especially considering I'm still sixteen."
"At sixteen Ariel was married."
"She doesn't count."
"And she merely glimpsed Eric before knowing he was her true love, and they were married three days later."
"Yes, well, that is the Disney universe where everyone knows their true love the moment their eyes set on each other." I pointed out.
He bit his lip and gestured his head. "You like him."
"Another subject for the love of pete!"
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much."
I splashed soapy water into his face.
"Ah!" He yelled, whipping me with his tea towel. I squealed and poured more water on his head.
We were having a full out war when Logan, Kari, Jono and Connor ran it.
"Whoa! What is this, world war three?!" Logan yelled.
"Not quite, but getting there." Danny said blinking soap out of his eyes.
I rubbed my arm tenderly as it was already turning red from the impact of the tea towel.
"We decided to play Disney trivial pursuit!" Connor said, bouncing up and down.
"Sounds good to me!" I smiled.
We all headed back into the lounge, me and Danny taking up the rear.
I quietly smacked him upside the head, he pushed me sideways, I then pushed him harder into the couch.
"What's your favourite Disney movie Kari?" Said Jono, looking at her adoringly.
"Ummmmm, that's really hard... toss up between the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast."
"Mine's the Princess and the Frog." Jono said.
"Mine's Aladdin and Robin Hood!" Connor added.
"Treasure Planet." Danny said. I high fived him. "With you on that!"
Logan screwd up his face. "I love Treasure Planet and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but I have to say Atlantis."
"Well, all Disney movies are epic." I pointed out. "So, who usually wins this?"
"Me or Danny."
"Well, prepare to be beaten."
"Way to be humble, Darc."

"Mum, I'm home! And I come with guests!"
Logan's Mum came in, wiping her hands on a tea towel. "Oh, hello girls!"
"Hi Mrs. Hawk."
"Hi beautiful. How are you?"
"We're good." Kari said, leaning against the wall. I jumped up on to a table and sat there.
"I'm guessing my son had invited you both to dinner?"
"You guessed right. That's okay isn't it?" I asked.
"Of course! Now, I have to get dinner ready, so kiss." She said to Logan. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "And I must bid you goodbye for now."
She walked out just as Logan's eight and eleven year old brothers ran in.
I jumped off the table. "Hi!" I said, hugging Connor, the baby of the family. I tried to hug Jonathon, but he dodged my affections, only to be caught by Logan's open arms.
"How're you doing squirt?" Logan said lovingly to his little brother.
"Get off me!" He grunted, squrming out of Logan's grasp. I giggled as he sent an admiring glance to Kari to see if she had noticed how manly he was, avoiding any physical touch.
Logan grinned at me. "Okay, the house is still a bit of a mess, so how about we go outside?"
I shrugged. "Sounds good to me." Kari nodded.
We headed to the garden, Connor and Jono tagging along.
"Who invited you?" Logan said, turning to his younger brothers.
Connor gave a cheeky grin while Jono shrugged.
"What's with all the noise?" A voice complained. I looked up as Danny, the only other Hawk brother walked over to our group.
I looked at the four brothers. They all looked similar, with honey blonde, almost brown hair, and deep blue eyes. He smiled at me and Kari. "Hi Kari. Hi Darc." He then turned, ever so slightly towards Logan and gave him a knowing smile before turning back to me. At age fourteen, Danny was very interested with matters of the heart, and was convinced that Logan was going to marry me.
Logan rolled his eyes at me.
I smiled at Danny. "What's going on Dan?"
He shrugged. "Nothing much. Got drama tommorow, so that'll be fun."
"Man." Kari said. "I wish I homeschooled. No uniforms!"
"That's only one of the perks." Danny grinned.
"Yeah." Jono said, tilting his head towards Kari. Connor just smiled.
Logan groaned. "Man, I envy you three. Homeschooling is so awesome."
"I happen to think our school is okay." I protested. "But I do agree that homeschooling seems more fun."
"Oh, it is!" Connor laughed. We talked for ages untill Jennifer called us for dinner.

"Do you two want to come to my house for dinner tonight?"
Logan looked at me and Kari as we walked home from school. Kari looked like she was going to burst with joy.
I shrugged. "I'll have to call my Mum"
"Okay, I'll wait."
I walked over to the corner and yanked out my phone. "Hi, Mum."
"Darcy?"
"Mum, can me and Kari go to Logan's house for dinner tonight?"
"Well-"
"You know him, you like him, you trust me and Kari, you love his family-"
"Okay! Okay!" I heard my Mum laugh.
I smiled. "Thanks Mummy."
"Love you sweetheart."
"Love you too. I'll be home before ten."
I hung up and looked over to where Logan and Kari were engaged in converation.
"I love capsicum." He was saying.
"Bleah, I hate it. It's my least favourite vegetable."
"Technically it's not a vegetable." I said, sauntering up.
"What?" They both looked at me.
"A capsicum is a fruit."
Logan snorted. "No it is not."'
"Is too."
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Is no-"
"Okay!" Kari yelled. She looked at me. "Did your Mum say you could come?"
I nodded. "Cool!" Logan grinned. "Then, let's get going!"
Kari groaned. "I hate having to stay in my school uniform."
"You don't have to come." I pointed out. She blinked at me, obviously thinking that I had experienced some sort of of stroke to even think that she wouldn't come.
I sighed.
Her infatuation with him hadn't at all faded over the last three months.
She broke her gaze with me and said chipperly, "Let's go!"
We all smiled at each other as we walked away, Kari in the lead. Logan leaned over to me one last time to say, "Is not."
"Is too."
"Bet you five bucks."
"You're on."

"How many wives did Henry the eighth have?"
"Six."
"Very good Miss Lucas. And how did they all die?"
"He divorced one, two were beheaded, one died giving birth to his son Edward, and the last one, Catherine Parr, survived."
"Very good Miss Lucas."
I smiled. I love being right! To quote Percy Jackson, "it is my fatal flaw."
The bell rung, and I grabbed my bag and stood up. Kari joined me as soon as my foot was out of the door.
"Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?" She said, bouncing up and down.
"Whoa!" I cried out, trying to calm her down. "How should I know where he is?"
"But..." She whimpered, her lip quivering. "I thought you were going to marry him, and then introduce me to Logan Lerman, and then me and Logan Lerman would get married, and have seven kids, and-"
"Okay, okay, hold up." I stopped her.
"First of all, he is a musician, not a actor, he has most likely never met Logan Lerman. Two, how confusing would it be if we both married famous guys named Logan? And three, IN WHAT UNIVERSE?!?!"
Kari crossed her arms grumpily. "Fine, be that way." She started muttering under her breath.
"Hey guys!' Logan called out from across the hall as he headed over to us.
Kari scowl melted off her face. "Hi Logan!" She smiled, flicking her hair.
I rolled my eyes. (Again)
"Wow. P.E is hard." He said.
"You think it's hard? We have Coach Ameason, ick." Kari said, shuddering.
"Not the best Coach?"
"Oh, no, she's a brilliant Coach." Kari began.
I cut in. "For the army, but this is High school."
"Unfortunately." Kari said, wrinkling her nose.
"It's at times like these I wish I could find a magic Wardrobe and save Narnia." Logan said whistfully.
I gasped. "I love Narnia! They are my favourite books!"
Kari sighed. "Peter is so hot. And so is Caspian."
"Edmund beats both of them." I said, shaking my head.
"My favourtie character was always Aslan."
"Well, who could not love Aslan. Did you know his name is Turkish for lion?"
"You don't say!"

"I am not doing that."
"You have to!"
Logan looked at me with a look of revulsion on his face.
"I am not disecting a frog."
"Please! I am in horribe trouble with science!"
"Why? You're smart!"
I smiled. "Aw, thanks, but that's not why I got in trouble."
"Why then?"
I bit my lip. "Well, last year I protested the whole disecting thing, because I think it's gross-"
"It is gross-"
I glared at him. He cleared his throat. "Sorry, go on."
"Anyway, I protested it by chaining myself to the pipes on the roof."
He gave me a look that seemed like I had just told him that I had decided my life goal was to feed chocolate covered raisens to the people in the Tweety bird costumes at Disney land.
"You chained yourself to the pipes on the roof?" He said incredulously.
"Yes."
"How did you get on the roof?"
I shifted uncomfortably. A levitating spell I thought.
"I have my ways." I said mysteriously.
He just stared at me. I grinned.
"Barking mad." He muttered.

The Musician and the Magician Chapter 4 part 2

"Okay, Darc. You have to marry him, get really rich and famous and then set me up with Nick Jonas, David Henrie or Sterling Knight."
I rolled my eyes. (Again!)
"Kari, I am NOT going to marry Logan, I just met him last week!"
She stopped walking and faced me. "Why would you not like him?! He's gorgeous, he's christian, he's famous, he's hot, he's friends of you, he's cute-"
"Something tells me you have said that before-"
"-And he would be INSANE not to like you."
I tilted my head to the side and groaned. "Kari. Please. Stop."
"Fine." She grumbled.
I walked over to the playground, and sat on one of the swings. Kari sat next to me.
I pushed myself forward with my feet. Kari looked at me.
"Can I date him then?"
"Don't even go there."
"Okay."

The Musican and the Magician chapter four.

I DO OWN THIS

Chapter four.

"Girls!!!!" My Dad called.
"Coming!" I yelled, yanking my boot on while trying to get out the door.
"I'm not ready!" I heard Dani scream.
"Dab some mascara on your eye and be done with it!" Dak shouted.
"I'm primiping!"
"You have skin like a baby's ass, what do you have to primp?!"
"GIRLS!"
"COMING!"
Me and Dak dashed down stairs, still pulling on clothes. Dani hadn't yet surfaced.
Mum and Dad were waiting for us. "Hurry up girls!" Mum said.
"I'm ready."
"Me too."
"DANI!" We all yelled.
"Okay!" She cried. She waved her wand over her outfit to fix it. (To me she looked no different.)
Dak obviously shared my opinion. "You look no different."
Dani responded by glaring at her.
Mum sighed. "Okay girls, we're already late so come on!"
"We're ready, it's Princess Perfect who was slowing us down!"
"Perfection takes time!"
"You're a wizard for pete's sake!"
"And?"
Dak shook her head. "I give up."
                                :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
"Okay. There have some been some INSANE rumors going around since I've been gone!"
My best friend Kari, a gorgeous Latino-Australian ran up next to me.
"I've been gone for a week to visit my grandparents, and everyone's going haywire!"
"Really? What are they saying?"
"Well," Kari said, using her hands rapidly when she talked, "There is this ridiculous rumor about you being friends with Logan Hawk, which is so ridicu-"
"Hey." Logan said coming up to us.
"Hey." I replied.
Kari looked wildly between to two of us, squeaking, before she fainted on the pew behind her.
Logan looked at her in her collapsed state. "Was it something I said?"
"Don't worry, she does it all the time."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you should have seen her when the Jonas Brothers were in Australia."
He laughed. "But should we help her?"
I shook my head. "No, she'll be coming around in about three...two...one..."
"What happened?"
Kari sat up and stared at Logan. "Oh my giddy aunt the rumors were true! You're dating a celebrity!"
I stared at her unbelievingly. "We are not dating! We just met! Geez!"
Logan was looking between the two of us with a mischevious grin on his face.
Kari smiled at him, finally acknowledgeing his presense. "Can I have your autograph?"
"Sure."
Kari looked like she had died and gone to heaven.
"Logan!" A woman called, trying to control two little boys.
"Oh, dang, I have to go, I'll see you at school!"
"Oh, but-" Kari whimpered, having just whipped out her notebook.
"Bye!"
She looked at me. "He's even hotter in real life than he is in his pictures!" She sighed. "He beats Nick Jonas and Sterling Knight hollow."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I guess he's okay..."
"Oh my word, you think he's cute, don't you?!"
"No!!!!"
She looked at me and leaned over. "So he doesn't know about...you know..."
"No! Giddy aunt, no. You're the only one of my friends I've ever told!"
Kari smiled. "Good. I like being special."
I rolled my eyes. (How many times does that make this week?)
"Do you want to go for a walk to the park?"
"And discuss your undying love to Logan Hawk? I am so there."
