They all headed over to Jackie's house, which was just an extra few minutes walk north of town. Jackie's dad was a writer for "Rolling Stone", whilst her mom taught history at the high school; so she didn't excatly live in humble settings. When they got in Jackie led them downstairs into the basement, where they'd hung out countless times in the past. Rachel and Brittany sat on the sofa, Dave took the arm chair, while Brandon threw himself onto the beanbag.
"Can I get anyone anything?" Jackie asked, being the gracious host. After being met by a rable of "no thank you Jacks", she perched onto the arm of the sofa.
"I still don't get it", said Rachel, "$7000... and he just lets you have it for free?"
"Well, there is that favour" Brandon interjects "but I don't see why you would want it in the first place, man"
"I don't know why I got it" Dave replied, turning the wand in is hands "something just... drew me to it". He looked at the slender, pearly white stick; marvelling at... actually he didn't know what made him marvel. He eventually was broken out of his trance by Jackie.
"Hey Dave, why not try it out?" Dave turned up look at her.
"Try it out?"
"Yeah, well it is a wand isn't it? And I'm sure I can easily recall my childhood fairy-princess practice"
"By childhood, I'm assuming you mean last week" Brittany smirked, allowing a ripple of laughter among all but Jackie; She did loved Brittiany, but sometimes Brit made it hard to. Ignoring this comment she turned back to Dave
"Yeah, a swish and flick is the usual practice" taking the wand between his thumb and index finger; he did as advised, allowing his mind to wander in the meantime. Suddenly a huge beam of light emerged from the wand, shot across the room and hit Brandon in the chest. Dave watched, shocked, as Brandons hair lightened and then slide down the back of his head
..."Ah well, it was worth a try, least it was free" Jackie said, as if nothing had happened whats-so-ever.
"What are you talking about?" Dave said, confused "Brandon looks like Legolas!" (which was odd, has he had been looking at Jackie's LOTR poster, at the time of casting)
"Thanks man" Brandon replied "I've never heard that one" Rachel looked over bemused
"Dave? Brandon's had that look for years" Dave was about to speak again, when he caught sight of a picture of them taken last month: where Brandon was indeed sporting this "new" style. It dawned on him what had happened; this wand was actually magic, but only he noticed the change. Looking again in the box, he found a piece of parchment explaining such, wondering why he didn't notice that earlier. "Dave, are you okay... what is it?". Dave turned back to his friends and looked at the wand; imagining the power he held in his hands and what he was now capable of. He looked back up at is puzzled pals.
