Talent Show Disaster

Class clown Frankie accidentally unleashes real magic during the school talent show, turning a simple act into a hilarious catastrophe of multiplying rabbits, floating principals, and frog audiences.

Frankie Martinez was the undisputed class clown of Greenfield Elementary. Whether it was putting googly eyes on the classroom skeleton or convincing the lunch lady that 'Taco Tuesday' should be every day, Frankie lived to make people laugh.

Today, though, Frankie was backstage at the annual school talent show, clutching a dusty box labeled 'Magic Kit Deluxe' that they'd bought from a strange little shop that definitely hadn't been on Main Street yesterday. The shop owner had said something about 'great power' and 'great responsibility,' but Frankie had been too busy looking at the sparkly cape to listen.

'How hard can magic be?' Frankie muttered, peeking inside the box at the glowing wand. 'Pull a rabbit out of a hat, say some funny words, easy peasy. What could possibly go wrong?'

Frankie would look back on this moment later and want to go back in time just to flick Past Frankie on the forehead.
