This is me trying to rewrite Sabrina's Secret Life. TamaraoftheSea is my co-author, we are also writing another story, both will be published on here and DeviantArt. Some episodes of Sabrina the Animated Series will be considered canon in my story, but not all, especially not that ones where Chloe doesn't show up or only has a minor role. I also don't include Uncle Quigley, as I don't see the need to have him. Other changes I have made is that people who aren't magical are referred to as "Muggles" instead of "mortals", witches live long lives, but not for ever. Also, Greendale is stated to be a neighbourhood in Boston, MA, USA and the story happens in the 2010s. I own none of the characters, save for Athena (who appears in Episode 2 – You Are Only a Half), other original characters for the story belong to my co-author. If you like the story and want it to continue, please either follow it or review it, I welcome all kinds of (respectful) reviews. Thanks!
Episode 1 – Sabrina Broke
Delaying your vaccine could land you with huge germs … and a huge bill.
The dragon, with a disinterested face, looked closer at Harvey and Pi. The two boys had a scream of terror.
"That dragon's gonna hear from my lawyer, Spellman!", expressed Gemini Stone.
"Yeah Sabrina. How are you going to explain this, and that?", added the Asian boy, pointing at the damage caused by the germs.
"You see…", Sabrina tried to explain.
"Don't bother! They won't remember a thing.", said her doctor. He pointed a sprayer on the Muggles, a whirlwind appeared, catching them all. The doctor and the reptile quickly escaped via a storm.
"What happened? Last thing I remember; I was eating an awesome submarine sandwich", said Harvey, after he got near the blonde witch.
"Must have been a sudden storm.", lied Sabrina.
"I am still hungry. Come on Pi, let's get burgers.", said Sabrina's crush. The half-witch sighted in relief. Her best friend came to her.
"Sabrina, what really happened?", asked Chloe.
"Look Chloe. I did something really stupid."
"Like what? I can't remember what just happened. Someone cast a spell on me, right?"
"Yeah, my doctor did. But don't worry, I will undo it on you."
"Thanks Sab!"
"No need to thank me, you're my best friend, I hate seeing you under a bad spell."
Memories came back to the dark-skinned girl, who shook her head, violently.
"Sabrina! I remember seeing you getting a vaccine, and… when you got it, the monsters disappeared. But you were trembling in terror when the needle was on your hand!"
"I was afraid."
"Why?"
Sabrina told Chloe the horror stories Pi said about shots.
"Sabrina, are you telling me you delayed getting an injection because of stuff Pi said? Even though monsters were about to eat us?"
"I didn't know about the monsters before, but yeah.", the half-witch was very embarrassed. "I hope you aren't mad at me, Chloe."
"A bit. You remain my best friend, of course, but what you did was very irresponsible. Girl! We were about to get eaten alive, and your secret could have been discovered."
"I am sorry Chloe. I acted really, really silly. What was I thinking?"
"And you believed PI? Sabrina, you should have told me about this, I would have probably helped you with your shots. Look, me too, I took my first vaccines when I got 12. But I know Pi's stories were BS."
"How comes? You're a Muggle."
"Voodoo helps, even though many people refuse to admit it."
"Sorry for causing all this trouble. If I got my shots on time, none of this wouldn't have happened."
"I am also mad at Pi, with all the BS he said."
"No need to, it was all my fault."
"But making up horror stories is bad, lying too is bad. I hope you learn it soon."
"Yeah, I feel guilty about this. I lied to everybody in order to escape getting my vaccine. Had I not lied to you or my aunts, none of this would have happened."
"Well, I can see she's feeling better.", said Hilda about Sabrina. The Spellmans were having their supper.
"I hope she learned a valuable lesson.", added Zelda.
"All could have been avoided if I just got my shot in the first place, and you know what? The shot didn't ever hurt. Much!"
"Well, this will. It's the Doctor De Facto's bill for emergency road service.", said Salem, with a laugh.
Sabrina sighted. "Well, here goes my allowance for the next century, and I really feel sick".
"How much is the bill?", asked Hilda.
"Thirty thousand boxes.", responded her niece.
"Next time you got to have a shot, we are sending Chloe with you."
"Why?"
"If you get some other dangerous witch disease, after what happened today, she will kill you."
"We all four will do it.", added Salem.
It was Wednesday, April 8th, 2015 and the day after the witchitis incident. While Chloe was walking Sabrina to school, she remarked the latter wasn't feeling good.
"What's the matter Sabrina?", asked the dark-skinned girl.
The half-witch told her about the bill.
"What the Hell? That's so expensive!", exclaimed her best friend.
"Yeah, I don't know why it's like that in the Netherworld.", said the blonde witch.
"So how are you going to pay this?"
"I don't know. My monthly allowance is 30 boxes and I can't work before turning 16."
"Well, I am not rich, but I will try the best I can to help you. I will try as much as I can to give you money. I am even ready to pay at your place for snacks and cinema tickets."
"Chloe, no! You don't need to suffer because of my stupidity. Enjoy what you can with your little money."
"No! Look girl, I am your best friend, and what are friends for? I won't let you suffer alone, please let me help you."
Sabrina looked at the insisting face of her confidant for a moment, and then, after hesitating, succumbed to her friend's desire. "Thank you very much best friend! I will repay you when I can.", she said, hugging Chloe.
"No, do not repay me. Do not even think of it. We are very close friends."
"As you wish."
At dinner time, Chloe paid both for her and Sabrina's food, then the girls want to their regular table. Once they sat, the African-American looked angrily at Pi.
"What's the matter Chloe?", asked the Asian girl.
"What was all the BS you told Sabrina about vaccines?"
"Chill out mi amiga. I just messing up. It's my big brother who made up these stories"
"Chill out? Just messing up? What you told her was nothing but a bunch of lies! She was to have an injection the other day, but you really managed to scare her with your lies." The African-American girl wished she could tell Pi that his lies cost Sabrina an enormous bill, but she couldn't tell her about the witchitis incident and the exorbitant costs wizard doctors charge.
Harvey: Pi, you better apologize for these stories you told us!
Pi: I am sorry Harvey and Sabrina!
As time passed by, Sabrina's family and her best friend tried as much as possible to help her. Her aunts Hilda and Zelda tried many times to negotiate with the doctor, but he only agreed to decrease the amount of the bill by 1000$.
On June 11th, it was Salem's birthday. Chloe paid for both the presents she and Sabrina bought him, then the half-witch had an idea.
"Well, I think my only choice now is to try to negotiate with the doctor."
"Are you sure that would work? You know, your aunts tried too but it didn't work much.", replied her Secret Keeper.
"Well, I have no other choice."
The two girls went to the closet near to the bathroom of the upper floor and zapped themselves into the Netherworld. They found Sabrina's doctor at his clinic treating the same dragon they saw two months ago.
"Hi there Sabrina! Who is this Muggle girl with you?", asked the physician. Sabrina and Chloe both remembered that the Netherworld is not for Muggles.
"Oops, it seems we didn't pay attention. She's Chloe, my best friend." The doctor was searching for his amnesia spell.
"What are you doing?", asked the blonde witch.
"I will erase her memory, like last time, and zap her back to your house.", said the doctor.
"Can you please not use it on her again? She's cool, she already knows about the witch deal."
"Well, if I knew she knows your secret, I wouldn't have used it on her in April. My apologies!"
"No problem. I undid the spell on her." The doctor was checking the dragon's mouth when the latter breathed fire on him.
"You can survive fire?", asked a surprised Chloe.
"Yes, because I am not a human like you, Sabrina, and her aunts. So what is the purpose of your visit Mrs. Spellman?"
The half-witch told him about her financial difficulties and how sometimes, her best friend has to pay for her even though she isn't rich.
"Well, that doesn't sound good, but in here, doctors aren't paid by the government, unlike in Canada. Seeing how you and your friend struggle, I will reduce the amount by 1000$.", said the physician.
On Friday the 19th, Sabrina and Chloe had a huge surprise: Harvey just won a million dollar in the lottery…
Sabrina and Chloe had a surprised expression and screamed.
"What's the matter girls?", asked Zelda.
"Harvey just won a million dollar at the lottery!", exclaimed her niece.
"What?" said the old witch. She started watching TV with the young girls. "You are right, lucky guy!", she exclaimed.
"He may help us with our financial difficulties", said an amazed Hilda.
The next day, Sabrina, with Chloe and Salem at her sides, phoned Harvey to congratulate him. She was shocked to learn that he was at Gem's house until evening.
