After she walked back to her mannequin, she stood and eyed it for a minute or two, looking to the front of the room to reference her top several times. Okay, navy top...silver and gold... Gold leggings? She stared at the split plastic bag acting as legs for her mannequin. She didn't really understand how that material changed into whatever you wanted, but that was what made magic so amazing. She supposed she wanted thick, super stretchy leggings. That way she could run and climb, or stretch in DaDa lessons if she wanted. Definitely thick enough to not be sheer anywhere, or thread bare, ever - at all. Plus they needed to be warm. Okay...focus.
She took all of these things into her mind, closed her eyes, and held up her wand. She kept running images of fabric and gold colors through her head as she made her upside down V movement and called out confidently, "Summitto Vestis!" She held her eyes closed, as she learned while doing her homework helped a great deal in getting what you really wanted. She kept them tightly shut and kept picturing the leggings until she could no longer hear the crinkling crumpling of the plastic bag. Must be fabric now...time to look! She opened her eyes in an excited hurry. Surely she must be better at this now after all of that homework practice!
They were leggings all right. And they were thick, and gold. But they were so shiny and metallic that there was no way Eliza was ever going to want to wear them. She doubted that weird old music called Disco was ever coming back, so it would serve her and any shred of fashion sense she had best - if she tried again. |
