"Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, or how to get ready for a ball," she read
aloud. "Oh, look! There's several parts to it. Part Five: to make a gown,
say 'bibbidi-bobbidi' three times, and then a loud 'boo'. Unlike the
previous parts, the 'bibbidi's must be said quickly and loudly, with an
ascending tone, and the 'bobbidi's must be barely audible, with emphasis
on the 'o'."
"Would you stop reading that aloud?" yelled Fred, "It's driving me nuts!" "Oh, sorry," said Astra. She mumbled to herself a while, and then said, "Well, I'm ready. Could you take the book, please sir?" "My name is Belboz," said Belboz dryly, receiving the book. "My appologies, I haven't gotten used to the idea of being in the same chamber as a celebrity, I..." "Will you just get it over with?" yelled Fred, blunt as ever. "I thought you would like the spell, didn't you say your married acquaintances would find it practical?" "Are you going to do it or not?" "Fine, fine." She paused, lifted her hands, and began to recite, "bibbidi-bobbidi, bibbidi-bobbidi, bibbidi-bobbidi, boo!" Astra looked down at herself. She was sporting a gown colored to match her eyes. It took her a while to get used to the idea that she was clothed again, the dress felt funny against her skin. "It's over," she breathed to herself. "I have clothes again!" Before anyone could do anything, Astra had lounged herself upon Belboz. "Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! You have no idea how long I..." But Belboz cut her short. "Your dress itches me," he said. He was quite irritated not only by the itchiness, but by the whole ordeal. He still thought the spell was silly, and clothing damsels definitely did not help him advance his purposes. He was even forgetting to appear friendly. "Well Fred," said Astra, "What shall we do now? Go face the dragon?"
