"Walt, can I borrow an amulet?"
"Leave me alone, Felix."
"Please?"
"No."
"But I need to! I need to do a big spell, and I don't have enough energy."
"What spell is it?"
"Uh… Hi-nehm."
"What did you break?"
"Uh… the dining table."
"Sadie is going to turn you into a cockroach for that."
"Not if you let me use your amulet."
"Fine. Here you go."
"Thank you so much."
Felix took the amulet and raced to the basketball court before anybody could see him.
He never actually broke the dining table (He did once, but that's another story). He had other plans. He took a deep breath, and summoned five emperor penguins.
"Wait here," he told the penguins. He dashed off to return the amulet, and came back in little time.
"3 on 3. Tall one, your with me. So are you, Bigfoot. Play ball!"
Second Half. Thirty seconds on the clock. 100 to 100. All up to me, Felix thought as he faked a shot, then passed to Tall one. Tall one was about to win the game when…
Poof! He disappeared along with the other four penguins. Right there was Sadie. Looking angrier than anything he ever saw.
"Felix! What did I tell you about sneaking off to play basketball with penguins! Strike two mister! Next time is cockroach time! So you better –"
Her hair flew in her mouth, and all Felix heard was, "Won Wif Ack."
Carter walked in and Exclaimed, "Sadie, don't be so mean, we need him right?"
Sadie uttered a spell, and her hair went back to normal. "You're right."
Felix asked, "What do you mean, you need me?"
"Though you are probably going to screw this up," Sadie explained while her hair slowly crept back towards her mouth, "We need you to go on a mission. A serpopard is has been spotted about to terrorize San Antonio. The House of Life is blaming us and vetoing Uncle Amos's orders to help, so we got to take care of it. Normally I would never choose you but-"
Her hair went back in her mouth. Carter continued, "Sadie and I need to protect the manor, Bast is still in the Duat, Jaz is in a coma again(don't ask), Walt is hyper-busy studying, and it's similar stories for all the other trainees but you, seeing all you do is play basketball with penguins."
"Hey, I study too, just not all the time."
Sadie mumbled the spell again, and exclaimed, "We don't want to hear it. You can go, or no penguins for a month!"
"You already said no penguins for a year!"
"I'll make it a month if you go."
"Deal."
At the Brooklyn Museum, Carter asked Felix, "You have your cell phone and your magic equipment, right?"
"Yes."
Carter spoke, "Okay! Hopefully I'll see you later!" He looked at the obelisk and shouted, "San Antonio!"
Real comforting, Carter. A sand portal opened.
"See you guys," Felix said.
Right as Felix arrived, he gasped. The serpopard was scary. The Leopard half had blood-red spots instead of black. His serpent half had scales that reflected all different colors of the rainbow, but all the colors were darkened, making it look like the rainbow of doom. But that wasn't the scary part. The scary part was not that.
He had about 40 monster buddies with him.
