Keep At It In a small, cluttered room, sitting on the cotton bed that was set up against its farthest wall, was a young girl with wavy, brown hair and deep green eyes as she stared across the room in a daze. ••••••• Flashback ••••••• It was the end of summer and fall was around the corner. So a carnival was held. Which had a wonderful Magician. A little girl in a sky blue sundress, pulled a older boy towards the rear of a tent. The little girl turned to the boy with a huge smile and a sparkle in her eyes, " Can we see him?! Can we see him? Please!! " she said jumping with excitement. The boy just rolled his eyes, " Sure, Johanna. Go right ahead. " " Yay! " Johanna squealed as she dashed into the tent. Inside the tent was a wooden stage engulfed with velvet curtains. But Johanna skipped to the dressing rooms. She turned around a corner, only to find herself sitting on the floor. She looked up to a talk, dark haired man in a purple suit and a top hat with a peacock feather sticking out. Johanna gasped as the man looked down, " Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't know children as young as you run this place. " the man said with a bright smile as he helped Johanna up. Johanna giggled before looking up at the man with wide eyes, " Mr. Magician? I want to do what you did! " " Johanna!! Don't run off like tha.... " the boy's voice trail off as he turned the corner, seeing the man, " I'm so sorry if my little sis was bugging you mister! " " It's not a problem. " the magician said, looking at Johanna as she turned to her brother, " Jason! Jason! I'm going to be just like Mr. Magician when I grow up!! " Johanna bounced, happily. Jason snorted, " You can't, Johanna. " " Why not?.. " Johanna frowned as Jason continued, " Because you don't have what it takes. " Jason then walked out of the tent. Johanna looked at the ground as tears slipped down her cheeks. Before having them be wiped away by Mr. Magician. " Hey, don't listen to him. Is that your dream? " " Dream? " Johanna looked at him. " Something you wish to do or become. " " Yep! " Johanna said, nodding her head. The Magician smiled before removing his hat and placing it on Johanna's head, which slipped down her face because of her smallness. Johanna looked up at the magician while holding to hat out of her face. " Then keep at it. " the Magician said with a winked. •••• End of flashback •••• The girl sitting on the bed, held her gaze to the top hat with a peacock feather sticking out sitting on the dresser across from her. She stood up and walked to held it in her hands carefully. " I made it, Mr. Magician... " Johanna smiled as she placed the top hat on her crazy, curly hair and walks out of her dressing room. Behind the door a announcement was made, " Ladies and gentleman, Johanna! The Wonderful Magician!! "
