FLOATING SHORTS

Heidi Heckelbeck started her day by daydreaming in bed.

I wish I knew another witch my age, she thought. Then we could share magical secrets and cast spells together and…

Scrape! Clump! Scrape!

The sound of dresser drawers opening jolted Heidi upright.

She watched as her dresser drawers opened all by themselves. Then her folded clothes swooshed out of her bedroom and into the hall.

That’s new, said Heidi.

She chased her clothes downstairs, where there was a full-blown tornado of outfits in the living room. Heidi fended off a pair of underwear with her arm.

What’s going on? Heidi asked.

Heidi’s aunt turned around as a pair of shorts landed in an open suitcase.

"I’m magic packing, silly! announced Aunt Trudy. Didn’t your mom tell you?"

Mom poked her head in from the kitchen. No, because I wanted it to be a surprise!

"Well then, surprise! said Aunt Trudy. We’re going to Castle Spell Cove. Your mom and I used to vacation there when we were your age."

With a snap, the clothes landed in the open suitcases. Then the packed luggage zipped itself shut and floated out the front door.

Um, what if the neighbors see our flying suitcases? Heidi asked.
