walked over to the tarot table and sat down. “Ok, you know
when we were in the cemetery and Jordan and I walked away to look
for the dog?” Astrid nodded. “Well, he told me that he came to the
cemetery because he knew that we would be there!” Astrid didn’t
know how to speak anymore. All she could say was “uh..” “Wait,
there’s more…Jordan totally likes YOU Astrid, isn’t that awesome?”
Waverly seemed genuinely happy at this revelation and Astrid was
surprised. “You aren’t mad?” Now Waverly looked surprised. “Mad at
what?” she asked. “Well, I mean…me, I guess. Aren’t you mad that
Jordan likes me? I swear Waverly I never liked him back…ever! I
always knew that you liked Jordan and I would never even…” Waverly
held up her hand “No, no Astrid it’s all okay because Jordan told
me that Uriah thinks I’m hot…and he’s way hotter than Jordan, so
it’s all good!” Astrid was relieved. She didn’t think either one of
them was hot, so it was all fine with her. “Well, now that we have
all that sorted out, I think we need to get back to practicing
tarot readings. “Okay, but I forgot to tell you that while you were
in your room sleeping for two days, I made some fliers and hung
them up around town; I thought advertising would help us get more
money, faster.” Astrid was impressed. “Yeah, my mom also said that
word is starting to spread around town because we found Kate’s dog,
so maybe that will help too.” Waverly smiled and said “Well, I know
Katy and Jordan have been telling people all about it, so that’s
cool.” Astrid took out the cards and began to lay them on the
table, three cards facing her and three cards facing Waverly.
    “I guess we should just read the directions
on the cards, I mean, how hard can it be? Right?” Astrid wasn’t too
sure of the answer to this particular question. But she also knew
that one must usually begin at the beginning, so it was as good a
plan as any other plan. And plans were in short supply. Waverly
read aloud from the deck of cards while Astrid laid out the cards.
“Step one: The Questioner. The Questioner is the person looking for
answers. It will be necessary for the Questioner to concentrate on
a question for a few moments. The Questioner can say the question
aloud if they so desire.” Astrid shrugged her shoulders “Go on.”
Waverly continued…”I think it will be a ton easier of we get people
to tell us things, then we can make it seem like we know what we’re
up to.” Astrid went to her desk and got her rainbow-unicorn
notebook to begin taking notes. “I think we need cheat-sheets so we
don’t forget when we’re doing readings, we can keep them under the
mason jars or in our laps or something.” Waverly looked perturbed
“Well, ok but just keep it hidden, we want this to look legit.
Also, btdubs…WE are the Diviners, isn’t that cool? The Diviner is
the person reading the deck of cards. Anyway…STEP TWO: The
questioner must clear their mind and shuffle the cards, face down.
When they are done shuffling the cards are placed in front of The
Diviner.” Astrid hold up her hand like they’re in middle school
“Yes, Astrid?” Waverly asks in her best teacher voice. “So, we give
the person the cards, they shuffle them and give them back, is that
about it?” Waverly again doing her best teacher voice “That is
correct Astrid, any future outbursts will earn you a trip down to
the kitchen for snacks, understood?” “I’m on my way!” Astrid hopped
off the bed and opened the door and yelled out into the hallway to
anyone who would reply…”Madre! Can you please make us some
snackies?” Waverly took the cards and began laying them out into
various patterns. “Astrid! Focus!” she yelled at her best friend,
and Astrid returned to the bed. “What are you doing now?” Waverly
picked up the box and tossed it to Astrid. “We have to learn the
spreads” Astrid snickered. ” You said spread.” Waverly just
