Fun with Magic | Friday, First period

Class was inside again today, and the Danger Shop was...a big, white room. Bob was beaming at them.

Literally. He raised his hands, and the air around them sparkled, waves of colour expanding out. "This week - art!" he explained. He made a tossing motion at the wall, and a rainbow appeared and stuck there. "Touch whichever colour you like, then draw with it. Paint with it. Whatever you like. Scrub your hand through it to erase." He demonstrated.

"Enjoy!"

Flowers. Elsa had decided that she was going to paint flowers. Big sweeping strokes of blue that branched out from the center into sprawling patterns, interplaying with one another in a bouquet of shapes that were all unique from one another. Here, a blue rose. There, a passion flower. And then several more from there, before Elsa stepped back and looked at her handiwork, at the way one petal almost seemed to branch off into another complete flower, and she sighed.

Snowflakes. Elsa had apparently decided that she was going to paint snowflakes.

"Hi, hi!" Alluka announced her presence as she popped up by Elsa's side. "It's really pretty."

Well, it was. Even if it wasn't what Elsa had wanted to draw or something.

"Oh! Thank you, Alluka." Elsa turned a little smile toward the other girl. "Do they look at all like flowers to you?"

No, Elsa. You were going to have to get over it.

Alluka's gaze slid from Elsa to the pretty picture and she looked it over again.

"There's a flower here," she said hopefully, pointing. No, there wasn't. "But maybe it's all flowers I don't know, so I could be wrong."

She was not really the best to ask!

Elsa gave the place that Alluka had pointed at a thoughtful look. It still looked more like a snowflake to her.

"I think most of it looks like frost," she admitted, giving Alluka a little smile. "That might be a sign that I need to work on my artistic skills some more."

Or that she was just really, really good at making ice for some reason. Imagine that.

She giggled.

"At least it's fun?" Alluka suggested happily. "And it really does look pretty, even if it's not what you wanted."

"It's fun," Elsa agreed with a little laugh of her own. "And I'm not really planning on being an artist when I grow up, so I might as well enjoy myself while I'm here. What are you painting today, Alluka?"

"I'm just playing with the colours," she said, grinning at Elsa. "I didn't know what to draw, so I decided to see how they all looked with each other. Some are better than others."

Some made an ugly brown colour when combined. It was icky.

It was true. Color theory was a cruel, cruel master that way.

"Some are," Elsa agreed. "I like mixing purples with blues, and blues with greens. They make prettier purples and greens, if you do it right."

Elsa had a slight blue bias, perhaps.

"Have you got a favorite color?"

"I like pink the best," Alluka admitted. "But, but I like most colours, so long as they're pretty."

She wasn't a huge fan of brown, grey, or black, for instance. They were booooring.

"Pink is a wonderful color too," Elsa decided. "I like wearing clothes with pink flowers on them sometimes, actually."

They brought out the usual blue.

"We could give some pink flowers a try, if you'd like? I think I can make them actually look like flowers if I don't get too carried away."

"Oh! Yes, please!"

Look at how easy Alluka was to please, Elsa. Look at that.

She beamed. "And, and can the centers be yellow? So that they're happy pink flowers."

"Yellow is a very happy color," Elsa agreed. "I think it's the perfect one for the middle of a happy flower."

What other colors generally went there, anyway?

Silly, Elsa. Any colour could go there! Yellow was just the best at it.

"We should do it over where we won't have to erase your picture, right?" Alluka asked.

"Or," Elsa replied, "we can improve my picture with flowers. I think a splash of color will make it look much better, don't you?"

Maybe then she could pretend that it was meant to look like that all along.

Alluka looked back at Elsa's picture.

"So this is like the background for our flowers?"

"I think it could be," Elsa offered. "If you want to. If you'd rather have a fresh start, though, I understand."

She was pretty easygoing about this one, admittedly. After all, all of this art would be gone after class anyway.

Alluka blinked at Elsa, then at the art.

"It is really pretty the way it is," she admitted.

So help her, Elsa was blushing, now.

"Oh... well... if you'd like to pick a place to paint, then..." She gestured with one hand toward the rest of the empty space on the wall. "I'll let you choose the best spot, if you like?"

Best plan!

Alluka beamed and obediently trotted along the wall until she found a place that seemed like the best.

(It was just the same as all the rest, really, but shhh.)

"This is the perfect spot!" she declared.

Elsa didn't see much different about it, really, but she was perfectly willing to roll with it!

"Oh, this spot is lovely. I bet we can make it much lovelier with those pink flowers we're going to paint."

She made a reach for a handful of pink.

And Alluka did too, giggling.

"I've never painted on the walls before today," she shared.

"You know... neither have I?" Elsa smiled and set to work painting something that looked a little bit like a slightly pointy daisy. She was reigning it in somewhat, here, so that the petals didn't branch out further. "This is far more fun than I thought it might be, though. I might have to do this again sometime."

Alluka watched the way Elsa was painting avidly, before remembering that she was supposed to be painting too.

Her flower looked, well. It was a child's attempt at a flower, it really was. The petals were lopsided and uneven, but Alluka was having fun, which was the most important thing.

"Can I come too, if you try it again?" she asked hopefully.

"I don't think I would dream of trying it again without you," Elsa decided. "Who else is going to pick the best colors for our flowers, after all?"

Elsa, after all, was excellent at arranging flowers, but maybe only excelled at painting snow.
