- Why are those girls staring at me?

- They're fairies.

Better get used to it now that you're famous.

- I am?

- For saving Darra from the Eye of Horus.

Everyone wants to see the Tri-ling with orb magic.

You're the biggest thing that's happened here

since Sleeping Beauty woke up. - Darra was in trouble,

so I just did what anyone else would've done.

- But nobody except you could've saved him.

Orb magic is very special.

You're very lucky, Kyra.

- DARRA: If I had orb magic,

I'd never have to come back here again.

- No class for you today, Kyra.

We've been summoned to the DMI.

- What for? - Relax.

Sean just wants to talk.

While we're away,

the DMI have sent more items to be catalogued.

Lily, could I trouble you to look after the bookshop?

New stock to be priced.

You might want Ruksy to give you a hand.

- No problem, Professor. The bookshop's fun.

- No magic, hmm?

Come along.

We can't keep the director waiting.

- If you knew the orb was responsible for Kyra's powers,

why didn't you tell me?

- Until last week, I only suspected it.

Before that, I couldn't believe

Edward lied about bringing it back.

- The orb ended the Lemurian Empire.

She could do the same to us.

- I've spent a lot of time with Kyra.

She would never do--

- I know you feel protective of her.

But you mustn't let that cloud your judgement.

- Kyra would never harm the magical world.

- And I'm the one responsible for its safety.

If Kyra doesn't measure up,

I have to ensure she's not a threat.

- You can't mean...

- Banishment isn't the desired option.

But I will use it if necessary.

- Item 520, a jar of purple stuff.

- Official name is goo.

- Goo? Very official sounding.

- Very mean sounding, according to this.

Don't let it out of that jar.

- [tapping]

- [growls]

[splat]

- Feisty.

Pity Kyra's not here to see this.

- I'm not expecting her back any time soon.

- Well, she's only in for an interview.

- No one's ever had orb magic before.

The DMI will want to know exactly what Kyra can do.

- You think they're gonna test her?

Well, Maxwell wouldn't let them.

home of quality pre-loved books. How may I help you?

- I've got Max's morning croissant.

But we won't let that go to waste.

Yummy! - And I had a comic on order?

So, uh, how can I help you, sir?

- Sean's interviewing the Tri-ling today.

- I'd love to be a fly on that wall.

- She doesn't look very special. I heard she was born human.

- Then she doesn't belong here.

- You'll get used to it.

- Hello, Orla.

- Here to see Sean?

He wants to know about your orb magic, doesn't he?

- Is there anybody who hasn't heard?

- I doubt it.

I feel I owe you an apology, putting your friend at risk

during the shadow cloud test.

- You were testing my loyalty.

- And after your handling of the Eye of Horus,

I have no reason to doubt it.

I'm sure you'll be working here before long.

If there's anything I can do to help, you know where to find me.

- ♪

- He'll see you now.

- ♪

- Kyra, thank you for coming. Take a seat.

I'll take it from here, Maxwell.

- But I-- - Thank you.

Now, I'm sure you know why I asked to see you.

- I possess orb magic, which I never asked for

and which I'd gladly give up if it's going to be a problem.

- Well, I don't know if that's possible,

but we're certainly looking into it.

But I am relieved to hear you say that.

Now, let me tell you what's on my mind.

- We can't be seen together. You have to go.

- I'm a legitimate customer. I'm allowed to be here.

- I think this is the one you ordered.

- If you're so worried about keeping our secret,

why did you fix my tire?

That was you, wasn't it?

- You're reading this all wrong. - Really?

When you didn't do the mind wipe thing,

I kinda assumed-- - Don't.

Magical people cannot fraternize with humans.

- SEAN: And although you have ties to the human world,

while you have orb magic, I need to know

that you're fully committed to us, to our world.

- You're asking me to choose?

- Well, my duty is to protect the magical world, so yes,

I'm asking you to choose.

- I can't turn my back on my dad and my friends.

- So your loyalties are divided.

Can you see how that's a problem?

I can't risk you using orb magic against us.

- I would never do that.

- You say that, but how can I be certain?

- You need to forget about me.

- I don't want to. - You have to.

I-- I can't have anything to do with you.

- You don't mean that.

- Yes, I do.

- Really?

- Really.

- Okay. Fine.

- [doorbell rings]

- I'm not a danger to you, truly!

Ask Maxwell. He'll vouch for me.

- I'm afraid it'll take more than your teacher's endorsement

to convince me you're not a threat.

- Then ask someone else.

Ask Lily! - Lily's not here.

- LILY: How did you go?

- Okay, I guess. - I knew you'd be fine.

Humans really aren't very different...from us.

Why am I here?

- Lily, tell your father I can be trusted.

- Of course she can. - See?

- Dad, what's going on?

- So you think this is funny?

- Maybe a little. She's--

- This is exactly the misuse of orb magic that I feared.

You thought nothing of using my daughter to prove your point.

- LILY: I didn't--

- Lily, this is not your concern.

- I would never have done it if I thought it would hurt her.

- I know, but what you did was immature and reckless.

You're too young to wield such power.

It's all very well for Lily to say that you can be trusted,

but your actions speak louder than words,

and they tell another story.

- Dad-- - You can go.

- Lily, you're meant to be at the bookshop.

- It's okay. Ruksy's still there.

- How did it go?

- No one knows orb magic better than you.

Can it be removed?

- I don't know.

- Well, find out...quickly.

- I just thought Lily would tell her dad I'm okay.

How wrong was I? [chortles]

- Orb magic is new.

They're scared of you.

- I was trying to show Sean he doesn't have to be.

- And you've succeeded in doing exactly the opposite.

We have some damage control to do.

- Kyra is Lily's friend. She can't be bad.

- Well, that may be, but I have my job to do.

Are you suggesting not doing it to the best of my abilities?

- Of course not, but Kyra wasn't born into our world.

- She didn't ask for her magical abilities, Dad.

She didn't ask for the orb power.

- Kyra's had to learn about it in such a short time.

Can you imagine how hard that's been for her?

- If Mum can see that, why can't you?

- Lily, please, stay out of this.

It's DMI business. - But Kyra's my friend.

She's a good person.

She's always nice to me, so why can't we be nice to her?

- From what Lily tells me,

Kyra was simply trying to impress you.

And we know how hard that is.

- I don't want to discuss this any further.

Here you go.

I really am very sorry for yesterday.

Goodbye. - Are you hungry?

Why don't you stay for lunch?

There's plenty of food, isn't there, Sean?

- ELLA: She's staying for lunch. - Oh, that's great!

Sean's almost finished the lawn and he'll fire up the barbecue.

We're very casual here on the weekend, aren't we, darling?

- Yes, very.

- That would be lovely. Thank you.

- Come inside, Kyra.

- Mum will look after you. I'll be back in a sec.

- I can't run the bookshop by myself!

- Kyra's staying for lunch. I have to be there.

This is her chance to make up for yesterday.

You want to help her, don't you?

- Of course. Where's the professor?

- I think he said he was going to the DMI.

You can do this. I know you can.

- But--

- [squishing]

- You made the cake yourself? It looks wonderful.

- I got the recipe online. It's supposed to be foolproof.

- Kyra's so busy.

She juggles magic school, human school, dog walking,

being a champion basketballer.

And she's fantastic at all of them.

I don't know how she does it.

- I wouldn't say fantastic.

- Modest, too. - Yes, Lily, we get the idea.

- Lily mentioned you can talk to animals.

- Only one dog. She's called Doris.

- An old boxer? Doris is one of my patients.

I love her, but she does have some curious ideas.

- I bet she doesn't know about why you don't have a boyfriend.

- Does your family know where you are?

- I told my dad I was at a friend's for lunch.

He's at work today.

- ELLA: Lily told me you lost your mother.

That must be hard.

It's hard to find time to have dinner with our own family,

let alone guests.

You both protect people.

Although I guess you don't fly around

with lights and sirens on your wings.

- Well, we need to be a little more discreet.

I still can't get over how wonderful your world is.

What I've seen is so... amazing and precious.

I get that you have a world to protect.

I get that it's hard to trust someone

who has so much power when you barely know them.

- Well, it's not just a case of me trusting you, Kyra.

Trust is a two-way street.

You've gotta feel that you can trust me too,

or you will never feel secure in our world.

- But I do trust you... absolutely.

- How can you be so sure?

- Easy. You're Lily's father.

She's such an amazing, generous person--fairy.

I can see she's like that because of who her parents are.

I mean, that's why you agreed to the lunch.

You could've said no, but you didn't, because you trust her.
