Autumn asked.
“I have no idea.”

Rachel sat beside Autumn during dinner.
“Where’s your big airplane?” Rachel asked.
“Down at the airport.”
“Did you go up in the sky today?”
“Nope. The Wingnuts are working on the landing gear, so I won’t be able to fly for a day or two.” Autumn took her phone from a pocket and lay it on the table between their two plates. “You want to see something?”
Rachel nodded.
Autumn keyed in Donovan’s cellphone number. “Watch the screen.”
Rachel leaned toward Autumn to see the screen.
Autumn entered the code to start the Dragonfly, and the screen came to life.
“What is that?” Rachel asked as she squinted at the display on the phone.
“Hang on a sec.” Autumn rotated the phone to lift Donovan off the table in the upstairs room. Watching the screen, she maneuvered him toward the door. “Hmm…somebody…” she glanced at Pug, “closed the door.”
“Uh-oh.” Pug scooted back his chair and hurried for the stairs. A moment later, Rachel and Autumn saw the door open and the grinning Pugsley appear on the screen.
“Hey,” Rachel said. “It’s Pug on your phone.”
“Yep, that’s our ole buddy Pug.” Autumn flew the Dragonfly past Pug and out into the hallway.
“And that’s the hall upstairs,” Rachel said.
Rigger glanced at Katrina and gave her a wink.
“What do you see now?” Autumn asked.
“The top of the stairs.” Rachel slipped from her chair and ran for the stairs. The others followed, with Autumn still working the controls.
At the bottom of the stairs, Rachel stared up at the strange creature hovering above. “Is that a bug?”
“Uh-huh,” Autumn said. “But he’s a smart little bug. Wave to him.”
Rachel waved, and Autumn used her phone to rock the Dragonfly back and forth.
Rachel motioned for him to come down, and Donovan fluttered down the stairway.
“Hold your hands out,” Pug said from the top of the stairs.
Rachel held her hands together, out in front of her, and Donovan floated down to rest in them.
Autumn cut the power.
“He’s so cute.” Rachel looked over the little creature. “How did you catch him?”
They laughed.
“Rigger made him,” Katrina said.
Rachel glanced at Rigger, her eyes wide. “Really?”
“Well,” Rigger said, “I had a lot of help from Miss Autumn and Pug.”
Rachel blew a puff of air at the Dragonfly. “I wish I knew how to make him fly.”
Autumn glanced at Rigger. He lifted a shoulder.
“I think you have to whisper the magic words,” Pug said as he came down the steps.
“What magic words?” Rachel asked.
Pug leaned close and whispered something in Rachel’s ear.
“Huh?”
He whispered again.
Rachel giggled. “Okay, we’ll see.” She lifted her hands a little higher and said, “Hokey pokey, cinnamon and pie. Here comes a bear, you better fly.”
Autumn keyed in the start code, and Rachel gasped when Donovan’s wings began to flutter. He lifted off and rose to the ceiling, where he flew in a circle.
“Wow!” Rachel cried as she turned to keep her eyes on the Dragonfly. “He really is magic.”
Autumn helped Rachel use the phone controls to fly Donovan around the living room.
