Plotting Her Next Move

Tania double checked that all the cameras had indeed been switched off and her room was empty. There were no locks on the doors here so this was a risky move, but she was pretty sure Barbie would respect her privacy for the next quarter of an hour. Tania's reaction to the fake phone call from Rebecca had been vague but grave enough to ensure that.

She squatted down in the corner of the room and waved her hands excitedly until her precious chest of magic reappeared.

"God I've missed you!" she smiled.

She didn't have long here, and wasn't sure when she would be able to access her magical kit again, so Tania didn't just want to plan for the next step of her mission, Lucy's transformation, but for the subsequent few moves she might have to make after that. She pulled four bottles of fizzy drink - a Coca Cola, a Dr Pepper, a Sprite and a Fanta, out of her bedside cabinet and in turn opened each of them, took a swig, and replaced what she had drank with a different potion for each, making sure to remember which was in which. She then placed them back in her, thankfully lockable, cabinet.

That should have been enough already to last Tania for a while, but when she looked down at her wand, she couldn't resist the temptation.

"I have to have you!"

Tania spoke almost lustfully as she picked the magical instrument up and gave it a gentle stroke. it would be harder to use on camera than the spiked drinks for sure, but it was easy to hide and there were so many more possibilities with it. She would just have to figure something out. Tania slipped the wand into an internal zip pocket in her handbag, where nobody but her had any business going but her, and where it fitted quite snugly. She then sadly shut the box up magic.

"Bye for now, I'll be back!" she promised as she made it disappear once more.

Tania then took a moment to compose herself, putting on her best serious expression, before opening the door to where Barbie and her frog were waiting.

"Hey guys, sorry about that and thanks so much for waiting outside. You can come back in now - I'm done!"
