all water. Soso has no moons, and Imdlemodin has five. And our planet, Coda, has such clear air that we
can see stars even after the sun comes up.

"But they all have things in common, too. They all have air we can breathe and plants we can eat. They
all have animals, both wild and tame. They all have weiner dogs." Victor shouted yay! causing Miss
Hennessy to force down a smile. "And one other thing, too, children, they all have magic. In fact, the
entire universe has magic. Except Earth."

They all looked suddenly sad and gazed in pity at the solid hologram that rotated slowly inside their
circle.

"How come?" Hana said in a quiet voice.

"We don't know, Hana. That's just the way it is. Scientists keep trying to understand why, but haven't
found the answer." She nodded her head and the hologram flashed out.

"What we do, know, however," she added with a cheerful note, "is that pentrinsic code does work here.
A muser can write code on reality, changing it. Some use it for healing. Others use it for fixing and
working with machines. Some use it to protect us in case we are attacked, though that hasn't happened
for almost a hundred years now. And some use magic for teaching it to others." She fell silent.

What she said slowly dawned on the children. They began gasping and smiling, their eyes widening
even further as they stared at Miss Hennessy, the absolute center of all their attention.

She moved her hands close together and made an imaginary ball. The children watched in stunned
fascination as Miss Hennessy's hands moved faster and faster. Within her hands, they imagined they
could see the ball. She whispered a brief word that they didn't understand and suddenly moved her hands
apart. Their faces went from wide-eyed to bug-eyed.

Floating in the air where her hands had been was a flashing blue and red ball! It smelled like chocolate
and bright white flowers. It hummed and sang a soft song, tickling their insides lightly and making them
feel safe and happy.

"This is called a Haven spell, children," Miss Hennessy explained, not at all perturbed that they
continued to stare at her glowing ball instead of her. "It can be used to make you feel better when you're
sad or if you're a little sick. There are stronger and larger haven spells that will do even more. And the
Haven spell is one of only hundreds of other spells. One day, if you work and study and practice, you
might be able to cast this same spell and make your friends feel better."

Kerri stared at it, mouth opened. She'd seen her Daddy do magic all the time, but he was the town muser.
He was supposed to do magic. But Miss Hennessy was a teacher! And she could muse! Kerri didn't have
to choose between being a teacher or a muser. She could be both, like Miss Hennessy! To Kerri, the
