It was another cold and cloudy day for the windy city, I'd locked myself in my office for the day. I'd been trying to learn spells for days and possibly weeks, but still I got nothing. The stacks of books on my desk was beginning to block the view of the front door from all the reading I'd done. I was starting to lose hope, but today I wasn't going to let it happen. I was destine to learn magic one way or another. I continued to flip through page after page trying different spells yet nothing. I'd opened some of the rarest books and some of the most basic but it was getting the best of me, maybe magic wasn't possible in the real world I though to myself.

I tried one more spell and saw the smallest spark come from the top of my wand. I was excited to see something happening, but again nothing happened. I threw the wand across the room and against the wall out of frustration. The second I heard the wand it the wall I heard a light scratching on the door. Was it coincidence or did something actually happen when I read that last spell? I got up from my seat and made my way for the door as I'd recognized that sounds from anywhere. I was excited to see Ellie behind the door as I opened it, she quickly ran up onto the chair and jumped to my shoulder. I wasn't sure if I had indirectly brought her into the headquarters from where she was at or if she was actually there to visit me. I went to the desk with Ellie on my shoulder and took my seat back. She hopped off and laid on a stack of the books on my desk as I opened the drawer for paper. 

"What were you doing and where were you before you came here?", I asked Ellie passing her the piece of paper and an ink pad. 

She took her paw placing it on the ink pad then place it on the paper twice. Nudging it towards me I took the paper back and tried to decipher the ferret code.

"I was at my headquarters enjoying my dinner and all of a sudden I was inside of you HQ outside your door. I'd just been thinking I needed to come see you soon, but never expected it to be instantly.", was what Ellie's response read. 

By this point I was starting to think that this was not coincidence so I went over and picked the wand back up, waving it around a few times and throwing it again against the wall. This time there was a loud stern knock on my door, it had worked! Ellie looked over at me in excitement as neither of us were sure who was on the other end of the door, but we could both see that I was on to something her. I went for the door and upon opening it I got a warm embrace from my brother TM. I couldn't help but laugh to myself but be thankful that it was him that was brought forth to us. He looked in the room and saw Ellie inside, I motioned for him to come inside and I shut the door behind him. I could only imagine what kind of situation I had just pulled him from. He didn't see too angry maybe, a little confused but he should've been.

"Hello there TM, it's good to see you where you been and what are you doing here", I asked him laughing.

The look on his face was priceless as he was even more confused now then ever. He was always excited to see the two of us and it was always a treat to get us together at anytime. With me laughing he became more suspicious then anything.

"I had just sat back in my chair about to put my face into the Mr. Everest of Colombian cocaine mountains. The second I put my face into the beautiful white clouds I ended up here in the family HQ, is this what heaven is cono?, he asked Ellie and I.

I laughed out loud pretty hard and Ellie was squeaking pretty hard as well as she almost fell off the stack of books. I pointed towards the wand over across the room and asked TM to head over for it. He walked over and picked it up from the ground examining it then looking over at me.

"You wanna do me a favor? Throw that bad boy across the room as hard as you can and make sure it hits the wall", I asked of TM. 

He wasn't sure of what he was doing but wouldn't think twice about it as he threw the wand across the room and against the wall. I was convinced I wasn't the only one with these magic powers and I wanted to see what would happen if someone else tried to do the same thing I'd been trying. With all of the spells I'd tried I knew there was no way I had actually accomplished something. The wand bounced off the wall and landed near me. We all stood in silence for a few moments before it happened. It wasn't a knock this time. There was a familiar voice in the hall and they were definitely confused. TM quickly opened the door revealing Frank-Cali standing behind the door. TM looked back at me and I smiled at him knowing we were causing quite the confusion tonight. 

The excitement that went through his emotions was great, TM was beyond excited to see the outcome of throwing the wand while Frank-Cali stood there confused. We brought him in this time it was TM turn to put our next victim on the spot.

"Where you been cono? and what the hell you doing here?", he asked with a smirk on his face.

"I was just in the car with Tony, we had just finished a job and were heading over here to give you your cut of the earnings. Good thing I wasn't driving or Tony would of been in a world of hurt, but I bet he is more confused then ever." Frank said laughing while scratching his beard in confusion himself.

There was only one other person we were missing and I figured there was a good chance that if Frank-Cali threw it she would show up. I picked the wand up and threw it over to Frank asking him to throw it across the room and see what was about to happen. This had already been quite the adventure and figured we should invite another guest. Frank-Cali still confused had the wand in his hand and was about to throw it just as Tony walked in unannounced about to yell something. When he saw Frank-Cali he about jumped out of his skin and was hit in the head with the wand making Stacy appear out of nowhere in the hallway. Tony was now more afraid then ever as he ran across my HQ office and jumped through the desk of books scattering them everywhere. Everyone burst into laughter that was already aware of the wands powers.

Stacy walked in and looked around seeing everyone already here in this peculiar situation. She wasn't sure what was going on, but was usually ready for anything. I welcomed her to our make shift party as the wand had chosen who was to be here tonight. I picked up the wand from where Frank had thrown it and it had bounced off of Tony's head. I figured it was a good time to put it away for the night locking it up in my desk. Ellie had come to me with another piece of paper with more of her paw prints on them. It had explained to me in detail about what she had planned to talk to me about when she was sitting down for her dinner. Seeing all of us here she took it as an opportunity to put the plan into place. After I read the paper to myself I looked up at everyone in excitement and read it aloud for them to hear.

"Guys, Gals, Ferrets, I am very excited to share some great news with all of you.", I said to the group reading Ellie's note.

I am a very lucky ferret to be surrounded by all of you tonight. It marks a special occasion for all of us as I have authorized Stacy to transition into a family of her own. I trust that with the help of everyone here tonight that we will make a positive step forward for the city of Chicago. -Ellie 

 She squeaked in excitement as I read the note aloud for everyone. I was beyond grateful for everything that had happened and couldn't wait to see Stacy to her leadership to the next level. Walking over towards her I shook her hand and gave her a big hug handing over the key to her new headquarters. 

It was a very long day. The young woman had barely arrived back in Chicago yesterday, but her day in her home city which goes by the name of the windy city was already more than just a little bit busy. While she was taking care of some paperwork and visiting certain places in the loop district to make sure, that everyone is doing their job, she surprisingly found enough time to do whatever she wants. It was a remarkably calm day for her.

She was walking around the city and visiting the park. Just walking around in her own pace which is still rather quick and trying to explore new streets, where she has never been before as well as possibly find some new businesses was always good fun for the young woman. After all, Stacy has a curious mind. If there is something, that can be explored; then all effort will be put in to at least have a chance to make that new experience. Experiences, do after all broaden the mind and help out to become a better person. At least works like that for her.

One of the new businesses that she had found was a pet shop opened by a man named Heartless-. After giving it a visit, she decided to buy one of the famous Maine Coon cats. Those were quite huge for cats but also very fluffy. They can be seen as a sort of catdog with their size and how social they are towards their owners. It was a possibility to buy a dog, but in the end, the woman decided against it, as she already has a black house cat in her big house. The Maine Coon cat would just perfectly fit in and to learn about what kind of food the dogs needs, as well as how often you should go to the vets with them was not needed. Saving her a bit of energy, but making her life more comfortable. Plus cats are good fun. They are super weird but cute at the same time.

The next step was to visit her dance mania club once more before also giving the red brick restaurant belonging to @Frank-Cali. She spent some time there and also talked with Frank for a considerable amount of time, as she was there before she headed home for the evening. She was relaxing at home and watching some television. It is quite weird to see everything in black and white, as it is different from the colours that her eyes see most of the times, but the moving pictures still add a cool element when it comes to the storytelling and gets its point across. It is a good and easy way to provide some light-hearted entertainment, especially in times of boredom. Or in the evening, when she would sometimes prefer to stay at home, over potentially endangering herself by walking out all alone.

So many times did she hear whistles, but no one wanted to annoy her yet seriously and did not harass her. To their benefit of course, as she was not one of the cute and weak women. She was quite dangerous if she wanted to be. She just preferred to choose the option to talk with the other person, whenever possible.

After standing up from watching the television, she was stretching her arms and suddenly switched places. Instead of being in her home, she was in a hallway. She can see some familiar faces, and even the environment looks very familiar. ''Am I dreaming?'' is what she asks herself, almost whispering it. She shakes her head one time to make sure that she is awake. Stacy even pinched her cheek but yeh it was genuine.

She continues to interaction with a smile and greeting every single person in this room. Her eyes are almost shining as she sees @Ellie the small animal thief but also well respected acting godmother of her district. The ferret can be very dangerous, but she cannot help but find her so adorable and even walks to her to gently rub her fur.

The young woman listens to what the people are saying. Being transported into this room, by magic was undoubtedly reserved for the dangerous situations and conversations, not just to have fun or annoy, respectively prank someone. Her leader @ArgusFilch is holding a note with the mark of a paw on it, it must be from Ellie. Stacy listens and doesn´t say anything until he is done talking. There is time to answer her own two cents afterwards.

Stacy is a bit surprised, to hear the news that she was authorised to be a leader. It came earlier than expected, but it was evident in her eyes, and by her facial expressions, that is happy about it. She immediately also gives her leader a big hug. Squeezing him gently as she does, before she also takes the key and then adds ''I am grateful for this opportunity, and I promise that I will do the very best in the interest of Chicago. The time in your crew was precious, and I thank you for having been a great teacher to me''  she smiles.
