Lucinda wrote Tom a cheque for the three tricks she had bought for Simon.
Once home Simon went up to his room and put his computer on. He wanted to find some information on the Thin box and the Zig Zag. Lucinda walked in with a glass of lemonade for Simon which she placed near him. She sat on hid bed.
“Thank you for buying those three tricks for me.”
“I told you I would treat you Simon.”
“All I need now is two assistants to help me?”
“I`ve got two friends I can ask for you.”
“Can I have a picture of each of them?”
“I`ll see what I can do Simon.”
Lucinda got up and left Simon, so she could email her two friends to see if they would like to come over and help Simon with his Magic.
Tuesday came and Simon was up nice and early. He made his way down to the kitchen for breakfast. Lucinda was already in the kitchen sorting out breakfast. Simon had a glass of orange and a couple of egg sandwiches.
The door bell sounded just before ten. Lucinda went and opened the door.
“It's nice to see you Tom.”
“I`ve got Simon's three tricks here for him.”
“I`ll just go and get the side doors open for you.”
Tom walked back to his van and started to unload the tricks of the back. He took them down the side and into the extension. Once the last rick was in the extension he walked back to his van and closed the back door.
“Thank you for bringing them over Tom.”
“No problem Lucinda.”
Tom got into his van and drove out of the drive way.
Lucinda closed the door and went up to her room and checked her emails. Simon looked in.
“I`ve had replies from my two friends.”
“Have they sent pictures of themselves?”
“Yes they have.”
“May I see them?”
Lucinda showed the pictures to Simon.
“I like their tights they are wearing.”
“I`ve got a couple of leotards for them.”
“Can you ask them to wear the tights from the pictures?”
“I`ll ask them to wear the tights from the pictures they sent to you.”
Simon went downstairs and made his way to the extension to check his three tricks over.
“I`ve asked them both to come over on Saturday.”
“What time are they coming on Saturday?”
“They should be here at ten o'clock Simon.”
Saturday morning arrived and Lucinda and Simon were up nice and early for when Lucinda’s friends arrived. Simon was in the extension making sure everything was set up.
Once Lucinda and Simon had finished having breakfast they went and sat in the lounge. Then all of a sudden the door bell sounded.
“You stay here I`ll get it Simon.”
“Okay Lucinda.”
Lucinda got up and made her way to the front door.
“It's nice to see you both again.”
“Thank you for inviting us over.”
They followed Lucinda into the lounge.
“Simon this is Sandra.”
“It's very nice to meat you Sandra.”
“And this is Laura Jayne.”
“It's nice to meat you Laura Jayne.”
“Just call my Jayne, everyone else does.”
“Okay Jayne it is then.”
“Would either of you like a drink first?”
“Well both have tea with one sugar please.”
Lucinda went into the kitchen and put the kettle on.
“So Simon we hear you like doing Magic.”
“Magic makes me happy since we lost our parents.”
A short while later Lucinda came back with their drinks which she placed on the table.
“So why are we here Lucinda?”
“Simon needs two assistants.”
“What for Lucinda?”
“I would like you both to help me with some magic.”
“I`ve sorted out a leotard for each of you to wear.”
“Is there somewhere we can change Lucinda?”
“You both can change in my bedroom.”
They finished their drinks and followed Lucinda up to her bedroom to get changed.
After a short while they both came back down.
“Well how do we look?”
“Now you look like assistants.”
Simon walked over to the extension and pulled the doors back.
“Where are you going Lucinda?”
“I`m going out for a little while Simon.”
“Okay.”
Simon pushed the Zig Zag forward. He opened the doors up.
“Sandra I would like you to step inside for me?”
“What are you going to do to me Simon?”
“I am going to divide you into three.”
