《The Inventor of Magic》17: A talk with Lucy
Advertisement
>>>Richard POV
Ha ha, oh god this is too funny!
Currently I am sat at the dining room table in my house, eating my dinner. To my right is my daughter Lucy who is currently having an enthusiastic talk on her lesson idea at school and on my right is her 'co-worker' Zach.
Pfft, his face! He looks positively murderous. I just so happen to know that he has an array that he needs to finish tonight and being stuck here talking to my daughter is just delaying him.
I wonder how cranky he'll be tomorrow? Probably for the best if I stick away for that one.
Eventually after around forty minutes Lucy had decided that this conversation was finished.
"Stay here Zach, I'll get some idea a that I wrote down a while ago. They're really good trust me!",
"Sure...",
Lucy went skipping of to her room leaving just me and Zach.
"Sooo~ good day at school?", I asked.
"Loud.",
"What, School?",
"No, your daughter... I think you'll need to extend the deadline for that array to tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be able to do that.",
"Yeah I'll do that for you. If you do a favor for me.", I have a really good idea...
"What."
"Teleport home and get a magic device with the basic flight array on it will you.",
Suddenly Zach disappeared and reappeared in his seat after a few moments, but now he had a basic magic device in his hand.
He slid it across the table to me.
Ah, how I would love that teleportation array.
"What are you going to do with it?",
"You'll see.",
There was silence until Lucy came back with some paper in her hands.
"Look at this Zach!", Lucy exclaimed eagerly.

"What is it?",
"They're all ideas that I came up with for arrays that we can make! Look, this one has-",
Okay, I tuned out again at this point. Even I don't understand why Lucy's so energetic. It really is one of life's unknown mysteries. Anyway this new conversation lasted for another twenty minutes.
Eventually it was finished and the topic of Zach going home came up. Here we are, time for my master plan.
"I'll go home now.", said Zach once Lucy was finished explaining things.
"Do you need to? I'm sure we can come up with more ideas.",
"Sorry, my parents wouldn't like it if I was out too late. Oh okay.", Lucy turned to me and asked, "Da~d can you give Zach a flight array?", she asked whilst giving me the puppy dog face.
"Why?",
"Because I can't have my co-worker walk to school every day can I?",
"That's true,",
"So~ pretty pleeeease!",
I pretended to be thinking it over whilst stealing a glance at Zach. Oh, this is brilliant! I can see the realization appearing on his face!
"Fine, wait here.",
I stood up and went out of the room before walking back in a few minutes later with the magical device in my hands.
"Right, this is a bog-standard magical device with the flight array on it. It's nothing special but it will do.", I said as I passed it to Lucy who in turn passed it to Zach who had a rarther unpleasant expression on his face.
Luckily Lucy didn't notice his expression.
"Here you go Zach. Your own flight array!", Lucy beamed as she passed it over.
"Thanks!", Zach replied with a forced smile
"Right, come with me and I'll take you home.", I said as I walked over to the door.

"Bye Zach! Perhaps I can go to your house next time!",
"Perhaps...",
Zach followed me in silence as we walked out of the house and into the jaguar. Now though he sat in the front passenger seat instead of back.
"You had me there. I didn't expect that you'd give me my own array back while simultaneously making your daughter like you more. Very impressive!", Zach explained whilst laughing.
"Thanks, I see your already popular with the ladies Zach.", I said whilst grinning back to him.
"Shut up Richard! Just go out of the gates and have a drive around for ten or so minutes, I'll just teleport home.",
"Alright, I wish you luck in your new 'buissness' venture with my daughter.",
"Oh come off it Richard, you know I'm just going to sell the arrays to you anyway so it's just like giving myself more time to do my job whilst I'm still enjoying the atmosphere of school.",
"Still, good luck. You're gonna need it if your Lucy is doing this as well.",
"Thanks, well see you.",
Suddenly Zach disappeared from my moving car.
I drove around for a bit before returning home and acting as if I'd took Zach home.
