Annie Grey

"You just do a little dance, any dance at all and they will respond with a dance of their own." said Ollie as he moved at what Maddie thought was a sorry attempt at dancing, he looked like he had two left feet.

Annie on the other hand just giggled interested to see what was going to happen. This had been the first time she had seen Ollie dance, and she had to admit he did look rather silly.

"Wow, bravo, and the award for the worst dancer in the entire realm goes to Oliver." said Maddie sarcastically. Matt laughed loudly, he couldn't help himself, he had to admit, Ollie had many talents, but dancing was not one of them.

"Oh haha Maddie, just be quiet and watch." said Ollie.

"I don't see anything happening." said Maddie.

"Wait for it, 3... 2... 1." counted Ollie and in the same moment the once still dormant flowers began to move, their delicate little petals bopping along to a quiet, soft mellifluous sound.

Their beautiful, coulourful petals moved around mesmerizingly, tiny fulgent lights shining around them. The dance was hypnotic, neither Annie, Maddie or Matt could tear their eyes off the amusing display.

Inversely Ollie watched the immersed looks on their faces and chuckled to himself. He loved showing them new things. Strange things that they had never seen before but he had grown up with. He loved to share, they were his friends and he wanted them to know more about him and his world.

"I told you so." he declared proudly as the enchanting dance ended snapping them all out of their dazes.

"Okay, you did, that was enchanting really." admitted Annie.

"Yep, you were right dude, I did not expect that at all." said Matt.

"I am glad that you agree." said Ollie smiling his eyes turning towards Maddie who quickly removed the interested gaze she had as soon as she saw Ollie.

"It wasn't that good, when you said that they danced I thought you meant that their roots would form feet and they will jump out of the ground and actually dance." Maddie stated contemptuously. Matt and Annie groaned while Ollie narrowed his eyes at her while she just smiled smugly.

There was no way that she was going to admit to the fact that the dance was actually really cute and interesting, she would rather be buried alive than admit that he was right.

"I'm sure that you did hear me say that respond to the manner in which you dance." said Ollie.

"I just did a little dance to demonstrate, now if you really want to see what you just described, be my guest and show us what you got." declared Ollie with a smile.

Annie and Matt both laughed, Ollie was giving Maddie a taste of her own medicine and they were very glad to be watching the entire ordeal unfold.

"Oh, no way, you're not getting me to make a fool of myself in front of you blondie." replied Maddie.

"Oh, but that's not the case at all, you're Maddie Wolf, basically good at anything and everything, I'm sure that you're good at dancing as well, why don't you grace us with your elegant moves." said Ollie smiling brightly.

"Yes Maddie, he's right though you're a good dancer, I'm sure you'll make the flowers dance even more beautifully than they just did." urged Annie with the moving of her eyebrows up and down. She truly wanted to see Maddie dance and admit that Ollie was right for once.

"Yes Maddie, why are you afraid of dancing for the flowers?" joked Matt.

"Oh you three just stop, you're not going to convince me at all. I'm not dancing for any of you. So let's move on to something else." concluded Maddie, she did not want to dance at all and that was final.

"Okay, well at least I know that I'm right." said Ollie. Maddie scoffed, she hated seeing him looking so smug.

"Anyway, on to the next thing. Before we sit and eat, I think we should be a little active, how about a game of hide and seek in the valley?" asked Ollie.

"Yes!" exclaimed Matt and Annie.

"No!" shouted Maddie.

"No way, I don't want to play hide and seek, no, what are we, three? We are older than that." said Maddie.

"You're no fun Maddie, no fun." Annie said shaking her head in disappointment.

"That's no problem at all. I want us all to be involved. If you said no to hide and seek how about we play circumjice?" he asked.

"Circumjice?" they all asked confused.

"It's the witch equivalent of what you guys call catch." said Ollie.

"You just throw this glass ball to each other and whoever drops it first gets soaked in water, it's harmless fun." explained Ollie, a small, green glass ball materializing in his right hand as he spoke.

Maddie was about to complain again, but one look at Annie's face showed her that if she dared open her mouth to argue she wouldn't use it again.

"Yes, that sounds fun Ollie, we are all going to play, every single one of us." said Annie specifically referring to some blonde haired girl in particular. 

"Great. Let's start." said Ollie as he quickly threw the ball to Matt who caught it easily then he ran away.

Annie giggled as Matt threw it to her and ran in the opposite direction.

"Are we playing tag or catch?" asked Maddie in annoyance.

"I would like to believe it's a mix of both." said Annie as she threw the ball to Maddie who almost dropped it.

"You almost made me drop it!!" shouted Maddie but Annie was already long gone.

"Isn't that a good thing? The sooner the ball drops the faster we end the game which is what you want." shouted Matt.

"Of course I want that, but I'm not going to be the one to drop the ball first." Maddie replied as she stood up.

Sure she didn't want to be playing this stupid game like they were all five year old children, however, she was also very competitive and she would never want to be the loser for no reason at all.

Maddie narrowed her eyes looking around for her new victim, and naturally her eyes landed on Ollie.

She smiled vindictively, there was no way she was going to allow him catch it. She would deliberately throw it annoyingly.

"Heads up blondie" she said after she had thrown it. The ball wobbled flew towards Ollie. It was clear that is was purposely thrown badly. But it was no problem for Ollie at all he caught it easily to Maddie's dismay.

"Stop purposely aiming for Ollie, I see you Maddie." warned Annie as Maddie scoffed and ignored her.

Ollie threw it to Annie who had to jump to catch it, it almost slipped out of her hands.

"That was a really good throw, I almost dropped it." she laughed.

"Sorry, I threw it too hard." said Ollie as he laughed.

"It's alright." replied Annie, she threw the ball to Maddie who caught it easily. She in turn threw it to Matt who caught it instantly.

"Ugh, this game is so boring." said Maddie.

"We'll see about that." said Matt under his breath.

He threw the ball strongly at Maddie who attempted to catch it but it was so fast it slipped through her hands.

"*Ouch*" she exclaimed as the ball escaped her hands and was about to drop on the ground when she cheated and raised a platform from the ground to catch it instead.

"Oh come on! That's cheating!" said Matt.

"No it's not! What's cheating is the fact that you're trying to burn my beautiful hands!!" shouted Maddie as she showed her hands. Her palms were red from the burns.

"Matt, that was too strong of a throw." admitted Annie.

"But Maddie, you did cheat, right Ollie?" asked Annie as she looked at Ollie.

"Technically it isn't cheating. All I said was that the ball shouldn't hit the ground when it's thrown to you, so whatever means you use to catch it doesn't matter." said Ollie.

"You see!! Aha, na, na, na." said Maddie smugly as she stuck her tongue out at Matt who scoffed.

"How are your hands?" asked Ollie.

"Their alright, they are already healing." Maddie responded as she walked to pick up the ball and the platform disappeared.

"Wait, wait, wait, before we start again, we need to lay down some rules, because I can see that evil glint in Maddie's eyes." said Matt narrowing his eyes at Maddie, he knew her well and she was coming for revenge.

"You're right about that, Ollie we need some ground rules." said Annie.

"Alright, no using magic to harm others and that includes no casting spells on the ball." said Ollie as Maddie groaned.

"Alright fineeee." said Maddie.

"And you can do anything possible to stop the ball from falling when it is thrown to you." said Ollie.

"Okay, that's enough rules blondie." said Maddie as she thew the ball to him.

"Okay then."
