This is my first story ever so please be paient! Enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own The Sorcerer's Apprentice oh well.

Dave Stutler never had a real girlfriend before. During school, he strictly talked to girls for projects and school related assignments- never just for the sake of striking up a conversation, So now, when he had the most beautiful and intelligent girlfriend, he blew it. Becky had told him she didn't feel he was paying any attention to her, but he was the Prime Merlinian after all and an obsessed phsics nerd. He couldn't just put his life on pause to spend more time with Becky, no matter how much he loved her. When she slammed her apartment door in his face, Dave was speechless. In total awe of the previous five minutes. All he remembered was her crying, then yelling, and unfortently, slamming the door in his face. He hated that door, it's cracked white paint seemed to be mocking him. He sighed and walked down the stairs to the front desk. What good was it standing in front of a door? She would never forgive him, no matter how much he begged and pleaded with her. Finally, he found himself on the bland, gray sidewalk. He checked his watch- 11:30 pm and sighed yet again. Tomorrow at 7 am, Balthazar expected Dave for practice. Apparently, his plasma bolt needed work, even though it was one of the first things he learned. Well, it didn't really matter if it was 11:30, he still had to get up and drag himself to practice with Balthazar. With that, Dave began briskly walking to his apartment on the college campus.

The first thing he heard was that piercing ringing noise and then he bolted out of bed. Balthazar! It was already 7:30!

"Oh man, oh man" he muttered as he pulled on a clean shirt and pants. Dave flung the door open to his room and bounded out the living room where his roommate, Bennet was watching TV.

"Hey,man, where are you going at 7:30 in the morning?" Benett asked.

"I gotta go!" Dave said as he frantically ran out the front door and into the hallway. Dave ran down two flights of stairs, raced into the lobby, and out of the apartment building's front door. He raced past the college and a group of students nearby.

"No, no, no," he muttered, " I won't be any later than I already am."

Finally he reached the door to his lab, practically fell down all the stairs, and stood in front of Balthazar, his eyes begging for mercy.

"You're late." Balthazar said gruffly to his apprentice.

"Sorry, I didn't get home until midnight last night and I sorta slept through my alarm." Dave knew he would never hear the end of Balthazar's lectures.

"How many times have I told you that you have a responsibility as an sorcerer?" Balthazar's voice was cold and he was clearly very irritated with his apprentice.

"I know. I have a responsibility and all that but I've been really busy lately. Believe it or not I have a life. Dave said bitterly.

Balthazar was shocked all he could manage to say was, " Lets get started."

Practice was a nightmare for Balthazar. His apprentice didn't listen or even bother to put any effort in his plasma bolts.

"Take a break," Balthazar recuctantly said, "and change your attitude," he muttered.

Dave slumped down in a chair and sighed. This was going to be a long practice and both the master and apprentice knew it was a fact.

What do think? I'll update soon. I promise. Please review and if you have any ideas feel free to share them with me.

Thanks.
