The old magician walked into his office, as he looked over his young assistants shoulder. Watching her buy two economy tickets, for their flight oversea. He grabbed the backside of her chair and rolled her to the side.

with a few clicks, did he turn the two tickets, into one buisness class ticket. "sorry, sweetheart but my back cant handle econemy anymore." he said. She wanted to complain, but he was still a step faster than her. Her eyes got dull, as she lost control over her body. Turning her into a mindless doll.

He ordered her to get two suitcases from storage. as she got those, did he order her to place them next to each other. Leaving a gap between them, finishing his instructions, by comanding her to lay on the suitcases.

one snap from his fingers and body tensed up like a piece of wood, or more precise, plastic. Once her joints turned into those of a normal mannequin, did he take her apart and placed her pieces in the two suitcases, before getting his stuff. He placed everything next to the door and spent the two days till the flight with organising his office.

His Assistant tried to focus, she was mad at herself, for letting that stupid Magician prevent her from learning how to turn back on her own. At least her mood got better as the suitcases went into motion.

It took a bit, but she finally heard the classic noises of the Airport. she could feel the security guards checking each piece of her, she cursed her magician as she felt the pressure of other suitcases and the like being placed on top of her.

twelve hours later did their plane finally land. The magician grabbed two suitcases and got ready to open them. He only found the cloths of other people. He couldnt believe it. Somehow the suitcases must have been mixed up.

the Airline didnt answer his request about the location of his suitcases, so he sat down and wondered what kind of people got his lovely Assistant, how should he explain it, to her parents he asked himself.

The Assistant felt herself being picked up from the luggage Staton. She sighed as she felt her pieces moving in opposite directions. There was no doubt, she had been picked up by strangers. she had hopped that was just a lie from his former Assistant. now thinking, got her to question the way he lost one of her hands in a bar fight.

The Magician hung up the phone and opened his backpack, pulling out a mannequins hand.

a snap later and the suitcases changed. he opened them and looked at the pieces of his Assistant, knowing everyones stuff is in the right hands again.

After a few minutes of piecing her together, did her natural skin came back. allowing her to finally take a deep breath. "you lost me again? pointing at the skin of her right hand, still behing lighter than the rest of her sun tanned body.

"Sorry", he said.

Now being in the right place, both started to set up the new Magic act.
