Lucia looked at the letter in front of her. She wondered, why she would get such a stupid letter. She acting as a Magcians assistant. Looking over the Letter again, she remembered what lead her to getting that letter.
She wasn't paying attention while running and accidentaly smashed into that Woman. To think that was enough to injur the womans foot, still she did promise the woman to make it up to her. But this, getting groceries or clean for the Woman would have been one thing, but this. That was stepping over a boundary.
Still, looking at the outfit she should be wearing, did tempt her a bit. So, she changed into the Outfit. The Bunny girl outfit did fit her perfectly, the mirror did capture her feeling. She was scared, about messing something up, feared that someone she knew, would see that. Yet, there was a small part of her that was excited.
She wondered, what kind of tricks she would be a part of. When the Time finally came for her, to leave did she put on the Outfit again and covered it with multiple layers of cloths, just to be sure that no one else would see her like this.
Inside the theater did she meet Stella, the Magician she would be assistant. "Oh, you must be Lucia. I heard what happened to my Assistant and i was really worried about her. When she told me that you would take her place, i was even more worried. But looking at such a sweet young Lady. I think you will do a much better job that, my old Assistant. Now come backstage, i want to see your Costum in Action."
Lucia stripped of all the extra layers, till all thats left was the Bunny outfit. "Marvelous." commented Stella and walked around Lucia to get a better look. "A bit lacking in the upper department, but i think you can let that play into your charm." Stella said and walked back to the stage.
"uhm, Miss Stella. What am i supposed to do? i haven't been an assistant before. I think i will need a few more instructions." Stella laughed into her hand. "Oh, sweetheart. My tricks a designed to work with Volunteers from the audience. Just step where i tell you to and you will be fine. So sit down, drink something. You will need a lot of fluid in your System. Else the stage light will just burn you up."
Lucias heart started to beat faster as she heard the first memebers of the Audience entering the Theater. "Okay, Lucia. Just follow me and smile." Stella said and walked onto the empty stage. She instantly felt the Stage light and the stares of the Audience on her body. Letting her freeze up a little. "Come here, my dear. The only one who is going to bite you is me. And i will wait till the show is over." Stella teased to the amusement of the audience.
"Now for my first trick, i will do something of a classic. And pull a coin from my Assistants ear." Stella grabbed behind Lucias left ear, that was away from the Audience and pulled out a piece of Candy. "Hmm, not what i wanted. You can have it." she said and held it against Lucias lips, till she took the Candy in her Mouth.
"Lets try that again." she said and pulled out multiple Roses. "I am slowly worried, that i will pull out a rabbit, before i will ever find a coin in there. Lets just move on. Lucia take the flowers, turn around and throw them into the audience." Lucia followed the orders.
The Flowers landed in the hands of a woman with brown hair and hazeled eyes. She was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and sandals to show of her feet. "Lucia my dear. I think you just got the volunteer for the next trick. if you could get her." Stella said and walked backstage. Lucia reached out a hand to the Woman and led her to the Stage.
While Stella rolled in a closed box on rolls. "So, who is that lovely Woman we got here?" the Magician asked. "Carlie." the Woman replied. Stella looked at her volunteer. "It seems like you have an interest in Magic, have you been an assistant for a Magician before?" Carlie looked at the foor. "I helped out with smaller tricks. I never got to be a part of a real trick." she said and got red for saying that part out loud.
"So, you have never been sawn in half. Then tonight is your Lucky day." Stella said and opened the frontside of the Box. Revealing to chairs and a hole in the top side of the box, over them. "If you two lovely girls, could each sit down on one of the chairs, back to back. Perfect." Stella complimented them, as the girls placed ther arms on top of the box.
Stella closed the box again and placed a metal circle on top of the box. "i don't know, if any of your girls noticed, but there was a small gap in the top board. Even if not, you will see whats in there soon enough, she said and pushed the circle closer to the center. Stella stopped, right as something sharp, pushed against Lucias hips.
Stella smiled at her Assistant, trying to get her to leave the scared expression behind. Then with one strong motion, did she push the circle all the way. Before Lucia or Carlie could react to the Metal blade moving through them. "Looks like the two are alright." Stella said and opened the box again.
Proofing that both Girls were still sitting on there chairs. Stella grabbed Lucias arm and started to push on it, slowly turning the Metal blade around. Spinning Lucia and Carlies upper bodies around, while their legs kept sitting on the chairs. As the Blade stopped, wid Carlies upper Body end up on Lucias Legs and Lucia ended up on Carlies legs.
"Enough playing around." Stella said and pulled out the blade again. Stella helped the two girls out of the Box. "Thanks Carlie for being my Assistant for this trick. I hope you will enjoy the other Tricks this evening as well. But its time for you to get back to your seat."
That was the Moment, Carlie realised that she wasn't wearing her shorts or sandales. Looking closer, these werent even her feet. Looking around, she spottet her lovely feet, attached to Lucias body. "Hmm, can i have my Legs back?" she asked. Which lead to Lucia realising that she wasn't connected to her own feet.
"Sorry, i have a tight schedule. we will sort this out after the show." Stella reassured her Volunteer and her assistant. Carlie got to her seat, while Lucia spent the next hour helping with a bunch of tricks. Till Stella let Lucia fully dissapear.
Leaving Stella without an assistant for the last three tricks she performed. Carlie waited for Lucia to reappear, to get her feet back. After everyone was gone, did she walk backstage and found Stella packing up her stuff. "Uhm, miss Magician. Where is the girl with my Legs?" Carlie asked. "Oh about that. I kind of lost her, midway during the trick." Carlie looked shocked. "Lost. is she in danger?"
Stella smiled at her. "no, she is perfectly fine and i will find her eventually. Till then, i don't think she will mind you keeping her Legs." The Magican answered and kissed Carlie on the cheek. Carlie shortly blacked out, only to stand in front of the closed Theater. After a few steps, did she really start to notice, that she would need a lot of practice to control these new Legs.
