     "Hey, Emily! Do you want to come to my birthday party?" 

Delilah called out to the practicing ballerina.

     "No, why would I come to your lousy party?" Emily 

replied sticking her nose up into the air.

     Delilah's smile disappeared from her face, "Why don't 

you want to celebrate my birthday?" she asked as tears 

began to form in her eyes.

     "Just because," said Emily as she began dancing again.

     Delilah turned and fled with tears streaming down her 

cheeks, "Why was she so mean? I've never done anything to 

hurt or anger her that I can remember!" 

     She decided to go to her best friend Alcina's house to tell 

her about what had just taken place between her and Emily.

     When Delilah arrived at Alcina's house, she saw her 

friend sitting on her porch reading a book.

     "Hi Alcina!" Delilah called out to her friend to get her 

attention. Delilah told Alcina everything that had happened 

that morning and she asked Alcina what she should do about 

the problem. Alcina was angry that Emily had hurt her 

friend's feelings and decided that they needed help to solve 

this problem. Alcina told Delilah about a wizard that she 

thought could help them.

     "What's his name?" asked Delilah.

     "His name is Dagda," said Alcina. "Come on, Delilah, I'll 

show you the way to his house. I just know that he will be 

able to help us."

     And so off they went to see Dagda the Wizard in hopes 

that he would know what to do.

     "Wow!" gasped Delilah as they reached the wizard's 

house. It was a huge castle with tall towers and beautiful 

gardens. Alcina, having been here before, proceeded to 

knock on the door. Soon enough, a woman with strange 

blue hair came to the door and opened it.

     "Hello, nice to see you again Alcina. "Who is your 

friend?" asked the woman.

     "This is my friend Delilah and we could really use 

Dagda's help," Alcina replied.

     "Well, it is very nice to meet you Delilah. My name is 

Courtney. Follow me and I will take you to Dagda. He is in 

his laboratory at the moment creating a new potion," 

Courtney explained kindly.

     "What will this new potion be able to do?" asked 

Delilah.

     "I don't know; he refuses to tell me," Courtney 

answered.

     Courtney led them to a door at the top of the stairs and 

knocked on it. They heard a man's voice shout, "Trixie and 

Ginger, will you get that please?"

     The three girls now heard two other voices. One was a 

low and rough and the other was soft and smooth.

     "That must be Trixie and Ginger! Trixie is our talking dog 

and Ginger is our talking cat," Courtney explained.

     "You're heavy! What have you been eating? Have you 

been snitching second helpings?" Trixie complained. Ginger 

was on Trixie's back trying to reach the door knob with her 

paws.

     "Sorry, but you never know what meal is going to be 

your last, especially with Courtney's cooking," Ginger 

replied, standing on her hind legs.

     "Hurry up, will ya!" complained Trixie from below.

     "Oh, will you be quiet! Got it!" said Ginger before 

jumping down off Trixie's back.
