wow, i had forgot all about this! ok, it's late at night, so if whatever comes out right now isn't quite normal, it's cause i'm barely concisous. =)
the man was a magician! The Boys and the Girls were standing in a basement full of magical props, and the man who had John's hat was dressed in full magician gear.
"OOOH! Magic!" Said Nanners and Bianca at the same time. Ringo looked as though he really wanted to be excited, yet was afraid.
"You're not a fake, like both Santa's were, are you?!?" He asked suspiciously.
"Of course not!" Said the magician. "And if you doubt me, go ahead and look around, and you'll see everything here is just part of my trade."
"What's your name?" Asked George.
"I'm Alexander the Great." The magician said.
"Wait......." Pitch began. "Oh, never mind. I've learned to stop questioning this sort of stuff." John and Paul were already inspecting all the sharp and pointy things leaning against the wall, wide eyed, so Pitch turned to join them after one quick shake of the head. Alexander showed them all his things, and a few magic tricks, which made Georgette VERY happy.
"Magic is SOO amazing!" She exclaimed. "I had an uncle who could do the most amazing trick. I don't know if you could do it, Alexander...."
"Well, what is it? I could always try. I am, after all, Great." He said.
"I'm not so sure.......I mean, we'd need 50 feet of rope, 3 dolphins, and a whole mess of syrup." Everyone looked at her strangely.
"Oh, well, I don't think I could do anything like that." Alexander replied after a few seconds of Georgette feeling uncomfortable from the staring. "But I CAN do this..." He took a small box with one open side, covered with and cloth, and removed the cloth to reveal.....
