“Just blow over the mouthpiece,” said Teddy. “And while one of you plays, the other must make up a song. Whatever you sing will come true.”
“Cool!” said Annie.
“But when your song has ended, the flute’s magic will end, too,” said Kathleen. “You can only use the flute’s magic once, so choose the time wisely.”
“Okay, got it!” said Annie.
“Are you ready to go?” asked Kathleen.
“Uh, wait,” said Jack. “Party invitation … magic flute … Is that all? Don’t you have a research book for us?”
“On this journey, Merlin wants you to rely only on your wits and your talents,” said Teddy.
“Oh. Okay,” said Jack, though he wasn’t sure he had many talents.
“Tell the magic tree house where to go by pointing to the words on the invitation,” said Kathleen.
Annie pointed to the words Summer Palace. But before she made her wish, she looked at Teddy and Kathleen. “I hope we see you again very soon,” she said. “Say hi to Merlin and Morgan when you go back to Camelot.”
“And Penny, too,” said Jack.
Kathleen and Teddy both smiled.
“Yes, we will,” said Teddy.
Annie took a deep breath. “Okay. I wish we could go there!” she said. “To the summer palace!”
The wind started to blow.
The tree house started to spin.
It spun faster and faster.
Then everything was still.
Absolutely still.
