A Prequel to Ask the Wonderball

Emily was late getting home from school. She had sneaked off with that cute guy from class for a little “private time”. Now it was starting to rain and she was running. Being new to the town, she made a wrong turn and ended up on a street she didn’t recognize. “Great,” she said, “now I will really be in trouble. Not only am I two hours late getting home but I don’t know where I am.” Emily thought she was seeing things. What is that glittering in the street? “Oh, it must just be a light reflecting in the rain.”But no,as Emily got closer, she realized that she was looking at a round lighted object. Then the light went out. When she bent to pick it up, it started glowing again. It looked like something she had seen at Newton Lake where the Gypsy fortune teller was. She would have to show it to Lona. Together they would figure out what it was. Emily had completly forgotten she was lost and had kept walking with her strange, new posession. When she looked up, she was at her home.” How did that happen, I wonder?”
