One hot summer afternoon, Olivia Witch wanted to be a pirate."Pirates have fun sailig the seven seas, so why can't I? And they have the whole ocean to swim in. They can cope with the heat," she said to herself. She tried to magic up an ocean, but ended up with a swimming pool. Her pet owl, Fickett, got out a spell book to help her.
Afer a while, fed up with trying to make an ocean, she teleported herself to a harbour using Grandma's machine, accidently landing in the water. She created herself a costume (witches can easily be recognised in public) and leased a boat.
In just over half an hour, Olivia and Fickett were VERY sea sick, so they went home and swam in the swimming pool for the rest of the day.
