1.Lucia Does The Laundry

"Oh the soup and the suds wash all the dirt away,

Leaving the shirts so nice and clean!

The sun is warm and bright today,

The perfect day to do laundry....!"

Today's sky was beautiful, clear blue it was

perfect weather for doing the laundry.

I rubbed the soap into the dirty clothes laid

out on the washboard, and scrubbed them

vigorously against the ridges to get the dirt out.

Seeing one after the other turn clean and white

was such a wonderful feeling !

Looking at the next piece of clothing, I Sighed,

"This one is going to need soap, isn't it?"

No one Answered- I was working alone in the

back courtyard of Arldat Castle.The uniform

I held was covered with a massive blue stain,

and no amount of hand washing was going to get that out. Under the bright sun, the blue stain

had an oily feel to it, nothing like the clear blue

sky overhead.

Just one look told me that this wasn't dye;

something sticky and viscous had stained

the uniform.

I focused on the stained."Soap!"

In my Incantation, a flurry of rainbow colored

soap bubbles floated up out of the stained uniform. The bubbles enveloped the stain, which faded as if they were drawing it into

themselves. Then they floated up into the sky,

Shimmering with all colors of the rainbow.

The stained uniform return to it's original crisp gray color.

As the rainbow-sheened soap bubbles Dancing

lightly under the blue sky, I couldn't help but to

as their beauty. I never got tired of seeing this

scene. I mean, It was just so pretty! That beloved blue sky, with my magic floating under it. As the soap bubbles drifted upwards, they

sparkled in the sunlight like jewels.

"Now i just need to hang these up to dry!"☺
