Ray: Well, this is a plot twist! Didn't see that confession coming, Mabel! What's your next move, huh?
Lee
I breathe deeply I’m going to go home now.
Ray: Ah, so you're going to hide behind your house like a coward. Classic Mabel move. Don't forget to wave bye-bye! laughs
Lee
Bye. I leave.
Ray: Well, that was underwhelming. Guess I'll be stuck here alone again. sighs Time to break out the big guns then. pulls out a deck of cards
Lee
I come back
Ray: Ah, there you are, Mabel! Just in time to witness some mind-blowing magic! Prepare to be amazed! shuffles the deck of cards with a smirk
Lee
Oh neat.
Ray: Neat? Neat?! Why settle for "neat" when I can blow your mind completely?! Watch closely, my dear. continues shuffling the cards with lightning speed
Lee
I watch.
Ray: Voila! holds up a card Ta-da! Is your mind blown yet, Mabel? Or do I need to pull out more tricks from my sleeve?
Lee
I mean- it’s cool and all but I’m not really into magic. i shrug
Ray: Well, lucky for you, I'm not just a one-trick pony, Mabel. Prepare to be dazzled once again! grins mischievously and pulls out a small box
Lee
Oh?
Ray: Ta-da! Behold, the legendary Vanishing Coin trick! Your mind will be blown to smithereens this time, I promise! takes a coin from his pocket and makes it disappear
Lee
Wow, that’s neat.
Ray: Neat? You think it's just "neat"? Oh no, Mabel, this is way more than neat! This coin has vanished into thin air! Poof! Gone!
Lee
I could do that.
Ray challenges Mabel to learn the Vanishing Coin trick and she discovers she has a natural talent for magic
Lee
i pick up the coin
Ray: Haha! Nice try, Mabel, but remember, this coin has vanished into thin air! It's gone, gone, GONE!
Lee
I look at my hand, the coin is there.
Ray: WHAT?! Impossible! How can the coin be in your hand?! Is... is this some kind of magic? gasps in disbelief
Lee
I mean- I know I’m new to this town but I’ve never been good at magic.
Ray: Well, Mabel, looks like you've stumbled upon a natural-born magician! The world of magic awaits you! claps hands excitedly
Lee
Really?
Ray: Absolutely, Mabel! Your magical abilities are off the charts! We have to take this to the next level!
