Dry Run

Dorothy is floating on the balcony with Darien holding over her shoulders. As she seems comfortable of it, but looking down.

"Come on!" Serena is shouting at Lorona. "Why become a bird, if you can't fly?!"

"I'm trying!" Lorona tries to fly as she's jumping up and down, with great leaping length, her arms trying to flap but nothing. "Why can't I fly damn it?!"

Darien paw slap himself then leans to Dorothy. "If she can't fly, then she can leap out and safely land on the ground. These uniforms do have some protection."

"Right, but it does leave that fuzzy stinging feel that will leave you there for a couple of seconds." Dorothy replied.

She glides down to Lorona. "Want me to help you?"

"I can do this myself!" Lorona declines it with an attitude.

Again she tries to fly, but couldn't.

Everyone inside are embarrassed to look at Lorona trying her best.

Olivia makes a joke. "I would say she's dancing like a chicken head had been cut off, but she's already doing that with the head on."

"This is quite embarrassing." Makayla adds. "And if I was an MGK sniper, she would be dead on the spot."

Maria realize what she meant. "Um, little miss gangster, what do you mean dead? And... I don't know but how many died from Lorona's current activity?" Wanting to know the results as she's showing extreme concern for Lorona's safety.

"Normally 10 a day. Maybe 5 for the lesser cities. 15 when under orders. 25 on a fun day. 30 on a good day."

"The difference?" Maria asked as Lorona continue on trying to fly in the background but landed on her behind.

"Fun day is mostly when they want something fun. 30 is when they're feeling lucky. And around 60 if they know the identities. Casualties, depending with whom."

Eye twitching out of fear. "Do they normally, hunt them down."

"Pissed Layla off or get permission. Either or is still a bad result."

Maria nearly passed out from the idea of the MGK gunning down Lorona.

"Hey, don't sleep here. You got your own hotel room to go to. You can sleep there all you want." Almira said to them. She sign then got an idea. "I got an idea for her to fly. It's an old mother's trick that works." Almira walk to them but look back. "Sometimes."

Makayla stops Almira that confused her. Placing a hat to cover her eyes, then a hoodie and sunglasses.

"We don't want to attract an MGK, do we?"

"She looks like a hoodlum." Maria comments.

"Then she's good to go!" Makayla smiled.

Almira walk by then goes up to Lorona. Pull her up. "Let's talk Lorona. Dorothy, can you float over the edge, please?"

Dorothy does so as she's air sitting with her wings flap once in a while.

"This is what I've been told about flying."

Lorona seem to be interested, despiting declining Dorothy's offer. "Really? So what is the trick?!" Spoke in such highly delight.

Almira pushes her over the balcony that made Lorona scream.

Dorothy scared then dives down with Serena who leaps down and held onto Dorothy's back with Darien.

Lorona continues to try but couldn't.

Walking by the hotel, Raquel Ortiz.

"Wow! Imagine living here?!" She looks at the hotel with her friends.

"That would cost us a shit ton of money for one night."

"Yeah...!" Raquel looking down then notice Lorona, with her hoodie covering her face, nearly hit her.

"Oh, shit!" Both of them spoke in Spanish at the same time.

Lorona was embracing for impact till she been caught.

Open up her eyes then noticed that she's floating. "I'm fly...?" Realize the grip on her back.

Dorothy had a fiery talon with her Slippers in the fire.

"I guess that didn't work." Dorothy laugh it off.

Safely put Lorona down into a sitting position.

Dorothy noticed Raquel who's completely afraid.

"What are you doing here, Crawford?!" Raquel asked. Dorothy is about to answer, but been interrupted. "Let me guess? You're stalking me, because you couldn't resist my Latina charm, is it?!"

Raquel shows off her low cut shorts, heels, crop top shirt, and headband.

"Eh?" Lorona is confused.

She want to see but Dorothy placed her arm around Lorona while keeping her head down.

"I'm just here for a mentorship. You might end up seeing Esmeralda Cruz here around." Dorothy smiles at Raquel.

Serena look over. Observing the situation then playfully spoke. "Aren't you...?" That cause Raquel and her friends to be freaked out. "Yeah!" Serena gives her a thumbs up. "You're that one girl who come by to visit Dorothy at Oztown. Um...? Small fry? Junk food? It's something like that. Something that isn't worth while."

Raquel is both annoyed and pissed due of being considered as a small timer of a Witch. She knows that they're playing her and her friends.

"I'm far more than that, Crawford! And you cat, go screw yourself!" Raquel snaps at them.

"Anyways, I gotta teach Esmeralda here on how to be a Vigilante. We may be rivals, but she's still new around the job. She's quite a strong silent type." Dorothy kept squeezing Lorona who's trying to talk but couldn't. "Anyways, I'll see you all around. And Raquel, you're looking quite unique and very exotic looking. You do have that charm that's irresistible, I'll give you that." She smiles at her that cause Raquel to blushed. "Time to fly."

Dorothy flies with Lorona on her talons as both cats are over Dorothy's shoulders.

As they're flying around. Lorona pull down her hoodie.

"Now why on Earth treating me like a child back there?! We could taken them down if they're Witches!"

All three sign.

Darien talk down. "You see, you haven't changed your look from your original form. Master Dorothy didn't want you to be caught here, so when they all meet up with them again, they can spot you in the Witch's crowd and sell you out. Or kill you, and leading it back to Master Dorothy's home with her Guild. Putting all of us in danger."

Lorona make imagery in her head.

"Ah I see."

They're flying around to see other Magical Girls and Vigilantes are just casually talk on either rooftops or streets on patrol, making videos for a video sharing site, or just resting on the rooftops.

"So quiet around here? Normally from the reports, we get problems from MGK in Chicago." Serena said to the trio.

Dorothy glides down to a rooftop to let Lorona walk.

"You can leap around, just don't get lost." Dorothy orders Lorona as Serena leap onto Lorona shoulders.

"I was originally gonna lead Dorothy around on how to be city Vigilante, but you might need the most training." Serena said to Lorona.

"Please, I'm a quick learner. So don't worry about it." Lorona quickly dismissed Serena.

Judging Lorona words with a snarky comeback, "Then how about fly? Can you do that?"

"I'll learn, and I might stop a crime syndicate that might happen around the corner. And you, Serena, you will plead me to leave Dorothy and make me your personal Magical Girl Guide. Even a pet, or perhaps a best friend." Lorona is having high hopes.

"Yeah right! After meeting your mother, I gotta better chance being the rock down the river best friend than you." Serena paw smack Lorona.

"Then do you mind if Master Dorothy and I can fly around?" Darien asked Serena.

"After seeing how you handle the situation down there, I think you can do well. Just don't do anything stupid to compromise our positions."

"Understood, Serena."

Dorothy start flying around with Darien.

"So what are we gonna do?" Lorona asked Serena.

"Just leap from one rooftop to the other, then expect any unusual activities. You're nothing more but a glorified mall cop as of this moment."

"Then we can stop crime?"

"No. We're tourists. So just stroll around."

"That's no fun." Lorona quickly kneeling at the edge of the building, looking gloom and doom.

"And Japanese Magical Girls want criminals to beat up, this is the closest thing you're gonna get." Serena talks down at Lorona.

Out of frustration, Lorona leap back and throw a temper tantrum, complaining over that she isn't allow to fight or do any crime fighting.

"Seriously, I would love to trade you for Becky right now. At least she'll be understanding." Paw on her face, out of frustration. "You, and Melissa better be worth the paperwork. Dorothy, Becky, Lyra and Cassandra are worth it."

"Who the hell are they?" Lorona stop to asked.

Serena deeply sign out of annoyance. Walk to her in order to explain everything to her.

Dorothy and Darien are flying around as she's looking down.

"So big!" Commenting the size of the city.

"Ever went to a city, Master Dorothy?"

"I want to say maybe Kansas City, but as I looking at the map, it's located in Missouri. And I was thinking of a Native American sounding town, but that's all I can think of. So much have changed." Dorothy awkwardly scratch her head.

She removes her crown to reveal that she have short hair underneath.

"Didn't know you have short hair, Master Dorothy. You would normally have longer hair."

"It's part of my disguise, Darien."

They're flying around while fixing up her crown.

Flying by a skyscraper as Darien runs up on Dorothy's wing to wall run then leap back onto Dorothy's wing.

"Sorry, Master Dorothy. It's something I wanted to do." Darien smiled.

Dorothy laugh it off.

Flying around till she saw the United Center, to see that it's currently closed and under maintenance, and disinfectant cleaning.

"Woah!" Dorothy saw the building as she's avoiding to get closer. "That's where the Coven Meeting is taking place?! I thought we could be having a meeting in a conference room?!"

"I highly doubt that, Master Dorothy." Dorothy flies away from the building to avoid suspicious. "Knowing that there's tens of thousands of Witches, and millions across the world to meet here. You need a massive building to hold that many, and from what Almira and Marge said. They might ended up sending in Familiars for notes." Darien remembers the conversation back on the road. "Oh!" Darien had a thought. "If there's a Coven Meeting in Ireland, can you send me there? Please!" Darien gives her the cute round eyes look.

"What are you planning on doing if there's a meeting in Ireland?" Dorothy asked.

"To get pissed drunk, and sing a couple of tunes." Darien laugh it off.

Sign it off then answered. "At least you're honest. So yes, just don't get too drunk if you're taking notes."

"Yes, ma'am!" Darien goes up to Dorothy. "Permission to lick your cheek?"

"Permission granted." Dorothy smiled then giggle over his tongue.

Looking down to see an elderly looking women, wanting to cross the straight.

"I may not do anything crime fighting, but I can always give out a helping hand."

Smile as she glides down peacefully.

"Hello, ma'am. May I be an assistance to you?" Dorothy offers.

"My thank you, dear. I just need to go across the street for the retirement home."

"Okay." Dorothy smiled at her.

Taking her vest that goes above the road to creat a small archway bridge for the old lady.

Dorothy thinks and realize that her wings can do so much more than that. Thinking, and thinking till she remember the Archangels back at the Oztown incident as they're going over the streets.

Pulls out a feather that became a larger feather. She made the elderly lady a floating device that can serve to rest her feet.

"Alright, feather. Take this elderly lady to the retirement home." She orders it, but it didn't move.

Confused as Darien is meowing, doesn't want to compromise her position.

Putting her feathery vest.

"Sorry deary, but I think it might work better if you went to the location before." The elderly lady give her an advice.

"I think so. Thank you, ma'am." Dorothy bows to her. Walking next to her. "Just point and I'll take you there."

"Alright, sweetie." She points.

They start walking on the streets of Chicago.

As the time passed by, and clock ticking for Dorothy, they managed to make it to their location.

"Is this the place?" Dorothy asked, which the elderly lady nods.

Helping her off the feather.

"Thank you, deary."

"No problem. I'm always here to help, even when I'm just a tourist." Dorothy laugh it off.

"Oh!" The elderly lady look up to the small steps. "Care to aid me back in?"

"With pleasure!" Dorothy used the same feather to create a small stepping elevator for the elderly lady.

They go up the three steps of the retirement home. Dorothy looks at the side to see a handicap ramp way, but shrugs it off due to the elderly age.

Dorothy let her floats till they reach back into the retirement home.

Passing by another girl who's wearing a hoodie and glasses, as if she's trying to hide something but Dorothy doesn't seem to bother with it.

"Can you hold the door for her?"

"No problem." She happily hold it open.

"Thank you." Dorothy bows to the girl.

Dorothy aids the elderly women to the front desk. Dorothy read the guest list to see that Olivia came earlier with Makayla. Then noticed the last name on the guest list, Katherine Fitzgerald.

"Katherine Fitzgerald? The Katherine Fitzgerald?"

Looking back then back to the front desk.

"Thank you for bringing her in."

"You're welcome. Please take care of her." Dorothy bows to them as they're taking her back.

Making her way out of the retirement home, Dorothy flies up.

"So was that girl? Katherine Fitzgerald?"

Dorothy flies back to where she left Lorona, but she's gone. Perhaps went out to patrol.

"Maybe I should do that feather bed?" Dorothy glides down to a bustly street. Pulls out another feather from her vest to recreate the feather bed. "I guess it does work on what I needed the most." Dorothy goes in to sit in it. She felt embarrassed. "I feel ridiculous." Darien meows at her to confirm it. "Alright then, back to the hotel please."

The feather bed start moving on its own as if it knows where to go. They're flying around like a miniature vehicle, but floating over the people to avoid any injuries.

"Wow! So it does work!" Dorothy leans back as Darien is laying on her stomach.

Pulls out her pocket watch to see the time.

"Tarnation!" Dorothy sat up. "I need to get ready!"

The feather bed moves faster as she it goes up to go straight to the hotel. It magically went back into the vest as Dorothy slides back into the room, where Lorona still trying to fly as everyone is doing something differently.

"Alright! Time to get ready!"
