I sighed as I shifted in my spot on the floor looking out the window. What's going to happen today? I thought, I guess I'll read a book, I've got nothing better to do. It was true, I didn't know how long I'd been sitting there looking out the window but that certainly wasn't going to get anything accomplished. As I reached for the book something fell from the ceiling. It was a letter addressed to someone I didn't know. That's odd, I thought, I didn't know that I had any letters in my room. All of a sudden a downpour of letters and envelopes hit the floor as though it was avoiding all of the furniture. I looked around me, a sea of letters scattered about the floor wasn't even ankle deep but still it cluttered the room. I heard a shout from above me and people started falling onto my bed and various pieces of furniture around my room.
Everyone stared at each other for a moment and then questions started flying around.
"Where am I?" said a redheaded girl.
"Who are you?" said the black haired girl sitting on the chair.
"Why am I here?" said the brunette on my bed.
"Will everyone just be quiet!" I screamed. They fell silent and I explained the situation to them. "You are in my room, I don't know how you got here or why you're here, but you fell from the ceiling and there is something strange going on here. Look at the floor, it's covered in what looks to me like mini letters and envelopes that got here the same way as you guys did." They all looked at the ceiling, then the letters, then each other, and finally at me. I looked at their faces, they looked somewhat like my friends, but they didn't have the right sort of hair to be them. One of them stood up, it was the redhead.
"Well what are we sitting around here for? We don't know where those letters came from and if they came from somewhere important we could get in a whole lot of trouble."
"Fine," said the brunette, " but first let's make these their proper size. Anybody else here know magic besides me?"
"Magic?" I questioned, "Magic doesn't exist, at least not that I know of."
"Really? Where I come from if you don't know magic you're an outcast."
"Where I'm from some people know magic and some don't," exclaimed the black haired girl, "What about you?" she asked the redhead.
"None of the people where I'm from know magic," she paused and thought, "well... some of them do, but most of them don't. I'm the only one I know personally"
"Right," exclaimed the brunette enthusiastically, "let's all of us who know magic get in a circle." Feeling left out, I picked up an empty envelope and stared at it. Suddenly, it was the right size. I blinked, realizing what had happened I looked over at the small group. They were still planning out their strategy and they were each trying to make an envelope grow. One of them, the redhead, threw a bunch of the envelopes in the air and was keeping them there, an intense look of concentration on her face.
Without a thought I made the motion like a tornado with my hand and a gale of wind whirled up the letters in the room. By the time they realized what was happening there were two hurricanes of letters in the center of the small room.
"Open the window!" I shouted in a panic. Is this magic? I thought, I can actually feel something in my hand. It's strong, but hard to control. As I let go of my grip the two hurricanes whirled out of the window and spewed out on the front lawn. I groaned, I have just made a bigger mess. This is no good. I rushed to the window. "Well, at least we have room to move in here."
The others gapped at me, mouths wide open.
