Michael and Chase were watching TV in the lounge. "Wow! Doheny is back![[83]]"

Dustin and Megan bounded in. "Do you already know that Megan has revived Dohenyi's career?[[84]]"

Chase and Michael looked dumbfounded.

Megan whistled innocently. "Not much. I've made a plan for him to feign his death as an accident during a magic show with Drake and Josh as his assistants. Then he was resurrrected at his funeral."

"That's insane!" Michael squealed. "Chase! Say something!"

Chase didn't mind. "Er, yeah, whatever Megan said."

Michael was still totally scared. "In any case, I bet that I may untie myself as Doheny did!"

"Oh, really?" Megan chuckled.

"I bet that you can't!" Dustin countered.

"You might bind me over a fiery pit, giving me two minutes or so to escape from a death in flames ..." Michael boasted. "I'll show you."

"Our history teacher, Ranger Scout Kenneth Billiam, is the best knot maker in Southern California!" Megan remarked. "You better step back from your daring enterprise if you don't want to get roasted alive!"

Michael shrugged and sneered.

Dean Rivers bounded in.

Chase waved at the headmaster. He had to notify himm, so that he could dissuade Michael from marching straight into the fiery inferno. "Sir, Michael Barrett claims that he's a better escapist artist than even Henry Doheny!"

Dean Rivers jumped up. "Did you say Henry Doheny?" Dean Rivers calmed down. "Do you know that Mr. Bradford, the owner of the PCA [[85]] went to university with Doheny?"

Chase and Michael looked dumbfounded.

"I'll have to invite him to the PCA, and then we will see who's the best!" Dean Rivers took his cellular phone.

Chase sighed deeply.

Megan took her cellular phone and pushed a button with the label BOOB2. "Hi boob! Henry Doheny might come to the PCA for a visit! ... OK, luv you too!" She terminated the call. "Josh is a little want-to-be illusionist, nothing big, but Doheny is his idol!"

Michael shrugged. "The bigger the competition, the better!"

Zoey and Nevel had just returned from Milan, right in time for the visit of the great Henry Dohenyi!

Zoey hugged Dustin. "Have you been all good in my absence?"

"I've missed you!" Dustin sighed. "But Freddie, Carly, Sam, and Megan helped me survive it."

Zoey smiled. "See? You've finally found better friends."

Dustin sighed. "Yeah, OK, but that's still not the same."

Zoey nodded. "That's not too bad. I'd be very disappointed if you had not missed me at all."

Dustin chuckled. "OK. Do you want to be sawed into half?" Dustin asked.

"You're doing that same trick again as the one at the talent show?" Zoey knew that nothing bad could happen, so she consented.

"So ... how was Milan?" Megan wanted to know from Zoey and Nevel.

"Great!" Zoey beamed. "We've made some contacts with the clothing scene over there. Maybe I'll get an iternship next summer."

Dustin beamed.

Nevel reported that some people at Milan were going to rue the day, until the times of dystopia were they going to rue it.

Zoey chuckled. "Quinn has called us all the time. She must have a hell of a phone bill ... Oh, I've been at the Scala with Nevel. He might be up for a tryout as a concert pianist."

"Not without Megan!" Nevel boomed.

Megan beamed. Performing at a classical theatre such as the Scala was one of her greatest dreams. "Wherever!"

Finally, Dean Rivers and Mr. Bradford greeted Henry Doheny.

"It's a great honour for our school!" Rivers explained.

Doheny beamed. "Oh, I've always dreamt about it."

"Be careful, the pupils here are all rebellish and cocky!" Bradford warned Doheny.

The great magician shrugged. "Dohenyi!" He boomed energically.

"Sir!" Dean Rivers was consternated when he saw hair growing on Mr. Bradford's head. The old lord had been bal for over a decade, and now this ...

Mr. Bradford had no clue what made Dean Rivers look dumbfounded. It took him several minutes to realise what had happened.

Finally, he met Megan. "Thanks once more!"

Megan chuckled. "Thanks for the 50,000 bucks. I'm going to share them with Drake and Josh, but they aren't supposed to know yet."

Doheny smiled.

Jeremiah Trottman trotted along. "Henry Doheny ... an interview for PCA News Channel ..." Jeremiah was happy because Doheny had already been way too old for Lola to start a flirting attack, wondeing how good of a kisser Doheny was.

Doheny answered the usual boring questions.

Along came Ranger Scout Kenneth Billiam. He shook Doheny's hand. "Sir! My name is Kenny Billiam, not Billy M."

Doheny nodded and smiled. "So you claim to be the best nod tier of California?"

"Of the whole world!" Billiam boasted.

Megan chuckled and faced Trottman's microphone. "There's a bet that Henry Doheny may untie any knot made by Kenny Billiam. Freddie, the odds!"

Fredward Benson carried his laptop around. "A Di Voglio de Luxe[[86]], with one gazillion bytes of memory, running the latest Quinndoze QP. Lisa Zemo has restored it magically after Jerk Del Figgalo had spoilt it with Teryaki sauce."

"Grow up, dorkward!" Sam remarked.

Billiam and Doheny looked at the odds. Doheny had been slightly on top, but it was subject to changes.

Josh Nichols bounded in. "Henry! Kenny!" He beamed brightly. He had been a friend of both of these. Kenny Billiam was the head of the southern californian scout federation, while, as a gifted illusionist, Doheny had always been his biggest idol.

Henry wondered. "Aren't you going to perform something?"

Josh nodded. "Yeah, I'll make someone's face disappear." Josh twitched like an eel.

"Oh, I've never thought about it!" Doheny admitted. "Are you going to do it on your own?"

Josh shook his head. "Megan is going to assist me. It was basically her idea ... So I have to be careful, or it will be my face that is going to disappear for good." Josh twitched.

Megan grinned. "My artist name as an illusionist's assistant is Cosmina."

Addie had been half asleep in the audience. Hearing the name Cosmina shook her awake. What? Could that be ... that Cosmina who ...[[87]] She remembered that Cosmina had been one mean girl. Megan could be mean, especially to Josh and Drake. Addie's stomach cramped. She threw up, right on Chase's pradas.

Chase was consternated. "Anything wrong?"

Addie told Chase that at their last encounter, Addie had seen no other solution then telling her friend Zachariah Carter Schwartz to lock Cosmina into a closet so she was going to miss the talent show. After all, Cosmina had sworn to make Zach's face disappear magically.

Chase saw that Addie couldn't handle the situation. He decided to guide her back to her dorm and miss the show. This way, Addie would be safe from Megan's revenge. Zachariah had just returned from a trip of his basketball team, thus he was going to miss the presentation of Doheny, anyways. He should be safe, shouldn't he?

Megan's cellular phone rang. "Megan Parker ... oh, Nevel, ... have you scanned the situation?"

Nevel Papperman boomed up to Megan. "Today, Zachariah Carter Schwartz is so going to rue it! Noone ever locks you into a closet without having to rue it!"

Megan nodded, smiling and whistling innocently. "That's what he will, sweetie! Twice and thrice, at least!"

Trottman entered the stage. "PCA Entertainment Channel. This is Jeremiah Trottman! Tour co-commentator is once again ..."

Lola activated her microphone. "OK, Doheny, the greatest magician ever, will serve as an umpire here, plus, he will also try to untie himself from knots tied by this man: Kenny Billiam!"

Doheny smiled.

"Our first wannabe mage is Dustin Brooks! He will saw his elder sister Zoey into half." Lola pondered. "Does that mean that he is going to have two half-sisters?"

Dustin shrugged and started sawing.

Zoey did nothing special. Everything went well. Zoey had not allowed Dustin to use fake blood as he had wished.

Lola smiled. A few weeks ago, Dustin had wanted her as his victim. Now it was Zoey's turn. "Zoey! Are you OK?"

Zoey nodded. "But I need a shower after that. I'm sweaty all over." She didn't mention that Dustin had sawed her bra into half.

Dustin shrugged when he left the stage to the next candidate: Michael Barrett.

Jeremiah shrugged. "Michael has decided to get handcuffed instead of being tied with ropes ..."

Doheny decided that Trottman was talking to much. "Do ... heny!!!!" He thundered.

Jeremiah Trottman disappeared in a puff of smoke and dust.

The audience applauded like nobody's business.

Lola had to continue on her own. "OK, Michael has just been handcuffed by his little brother harper. Dean Rivers has tried those handcuffs on his wife. What do you say?"

"They work well!" Rivers admitted. "Finally, I've got some hours without that permanent annoyance."

Lola nodded. "OK. Michael has been tied to the vertical bar that supports the dome. If he's strong enough, he could bring the dome to cpollapse." Lola shivered.

Michael tried to free himself, but it didn't seem to work.

"In the meanwhile, Josh Nichols is going to steal someone's face and lock it inside a crystal ball!" Lola announced.

Josh and Megan entered the stage.

Megan grinned mischievously while Josh tried to talk about it. "Abra Cadabra!" She boomed.

Suddenly, the face of Zachariah Carter Schwartz condensed in the ball.

"Let me out of here!" The voice of Zaxchariah cried piteously.

Alas, Megan showed no mercy. Josh was totally consternated. He had no clue this could ever happen. After a few minutes, he finally decided to smash the ball with a sledge hammer.

Samm borrowed hwer hammer unto Josh when she saw Michael. "Problems?"

Michael whimpered piteously.

Sam lay down next to Michael, used her toes to grab a hair needle form her head, and unlocked the handcuffs by fumbling with the needle in the lock, just using her toes.

The audience applauded beyond any limit.

Doheny couldn't help declaring Sam the new Doheny.

Freddie's feelings were mixed. He had bickered a lot with Sam, but now he was deeply impressed. What should he do? Yet, he had to take care of the bet between Billiam and Doheny.

"May you please witch me magically into Drake's arms?" Lola begged Doheny. Her wish was fulfilled on site.

Drake smiled and started making out with his dream girl.

Kenny Billiam tied Doheny all up.

Too bad Lola was sunk in Drake's arms, and Jeremiah had been magically transferred into some dark closet where he whimpered painfully. Thus PCA News could not complete the broadcast.

Bialliam kept on trying knot after knot on Doheny, but for no avail. Yet the great escapist has always told Billiam how to improve those knots. They continues to do this until after curfew, thus the audience was gone, and Freddie's bet had been for naught because Freddie had forgotten to set a time limit.

Zoey had left the show early. She was going to return straight to her own doem. On the way up there, she ran into a totally consternated and irritated Zachariah Carter Schwartz. "Zach! What's going on?"

"I've got to see Addie!" Zach whiimpered in agony. "Nobody will believe me what just happened." He coughed and choked with pain.

Zoey opened the door to her dorm.

Chase had been caring for Addie. The two of them now kept on smiling and whispering funny stuiff unto each other.

"Addie, you won't believe it!" Zach boomed. "All of a sudden, my face was gone, and I had to cover the spot where it used to be with my hands. That was so terrible and humiliating. Everybody has laughed about me, without any mercy.." He sobbed piteously.

Chase and Addie laughed, as they had long forgotten about Megan's/Cosmina's revenge.

"Chase! Addie! What's going on between the two of you? Fess up!" Zoey stared at her friends who were thereupon unable to talk or move.

[[83] ]Doheny is a spoof off Harry Houdini aka Ehrich Weisz, a Hungaro-American Illusionist from early 20th century. He named himself in turn for Jean Houdin, a French illusionist from mid 19th century who had fooled Algerian rebels.
