::Tiboldt was not discouraged, and as he climbed onto stage, he told the other man.:: "We'll just have to try and change your mind. Please, make yourself comfortable."

::"Comfortable" was a relative term to Pietro. However, he did not voice this thought. Instead, he found the nearest table and sat, facing the stage.:: "You can try."

"We sure will," Wanda assured him with a wink. She got up on the stage and walked over to Max, waiting for instructions.

::Tiboldt walked over to Wanda, laying a hand on her shoulder. He whispered,:: "If you want to impress your brother, we can try the guillotine."

Wanda's smile widened at that, and she merely nodded. Yes, that would be a cool trick to try. Hopefully Pietro would be impressed.

She nodded and followed him backstage to retrieve their guillotine; it was large and awkward.

::This was not the favorite piece of equipment for Tiboldt to move, which is why he continually resolved to add a pulley system. However, he was always distracted. With the necessary effort, they moved the guillotine to center stage.::

Once it was moved to the center stage, Wanda began to adjust it so it would not move mid-performance, as that could be dangerous.

::Once the guillotine was adjusted, Tiboldt bowed at the audience, which consisted of Wanda's brother and a club filled with empty chairs, and then they began the trick.::
*********
::Over the next almost hour, Tiboldt and Wanda went through their act, doing the escape tricks, the illusions, the levitation, and ending with Wanda using some of her mutant power. When it was finished, he and she did a final bow, and concluded the rehearsal.::

They spent almost an hour going through the act. When it had finished, and they bowed, Wanda turned to Tiboldt. "How did I do?" She asked eagerly.

"Marvelously," ::Tiboldt told her with a smile and a pat on her back. When it came time for performance, he had no doubts she would do well.::

Wanda smiled broadly at him. "Thanks, Max," She said, truly pleased. And now they could all go out to lunch together.

Wanda nodded and headed towards where Pietro sat. She clambered down and walked over to him. "So, what did you think?" She asked, smiling at him.
