Maddie jumped when she heard a loud YELP. Looking a few feet away, she saw Derf, and it looked like he had sewn a bit of his finger. OUCHHHHH. Maddie hadn't even thought about that, but now that she had seen it, she was afraid of it happening to her, too. She stopped sewing for a bit as she watched the professor come to the rescue. "It's okay, Derf! I know it's so super scary, but I bet Professor Marchand knows just how to fix it!" she said to her housemate. She also had a piece of candy in her pocket if Derf thought that might make him feel better, too!

Maddie gulped nervously then turned back to her own project. It looked super messy and not really straight at all, but for a first attempt, she thought she was doing pretty well! "Suturis!" she said, beginning on her project once again. This time, the stitching didn't get any straighter at all. It got messier. Maddie was so worried about sewing her own finger that her eyes remained fixed on her hand most of the time. She finally just stopped, so she could wait and see if the professor really could fix it.
