Chapter One; The Secret's Out

Hey, sorry again for the delay. I've been really hooked on a recent Naruto story that I've been writing. And yeah, this takes place after the Halloween episode so sorry for the spoilers that Stacey's a witch but since it won't be Halloween until another few months I had to skip it for now. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

Jeannie picked up the telephone and then started dialing Tony's number. It rang a few times before he finally picked up. "Hello?" he answered.

"Hello darling Master!" Jeannie exclaimed excitedly while a wide grin started stretching a crossed her husband's face.

"Well hello there Jeannie. Rog and I were just talking about you. Did you have fun at the Halloween party at NASA?" he questioned her as Jeannie nodded.

"Yes I did but I'm afraid that I've got some bad news." She told him.

"Oh really? What's that?" he asked her anxiously out of concern.

"I'm afraid that it's about Stacey." She replied.

"Oh really? What about her?" he questioned.

"I found out that she's a witch!" she exclaimed.

"Really? No kidding! Roger will certainly be amazed to finally find that out after all this time that he's had a thing for her." He said.

"I know but that's not what bothers me Master. I'm sure that Roger Healey will accept Stacey for who she is. The problem is that genies and witches have always been enemies." She told him.

"Well does she know that you're a genie?" he wondered.

"No Master. And she won't know until another few months after the baby's born at least since I lost all of my powers now." She told him.

"Well, that's going to be interesting for you. You're just going to have to learn to adjust to life without magic." He said.

"I know Master, but what am I going to do about Stacey!?" she exclaimed worriedly.

"Well, take a look at it this way Jeannie. Stacey's always been a witch you just didn't find out about it up until now. If you guys still really like each other than it really shouldn't stand in the way of your friendship." He told her with a shake of his head.

"You're right Master, I should have thought about that myself. Well, I guess I better be going now. Spot really needs to go for his walk." She told him.

"Alright sweetheart, you take care." He said before kissing the air in front of him.

"Yes Master I will." She began with a nod. "And say hello to Roger Healey for me." She told him.

"Alright, I'll tell him that you said hi." He agreed with a grin.

"Alright then Master goodbye and I love you." She told him while he smiled warmly and affectionately at the sound of her voice.

"I love you too darling goodbye." She told him.

"Goodbye!" she exclaimed before she hung up the phone.

Stacey had locked herself inside her basement wearing her bright red witch's robes and being surrounded by a dozen meowing cats. One of them was a brightly colored striped orange one that was walking straight towards her. "I really blew it now Merlin." She told him before he opened up his mouth extremely wide and meowed at her. "Now Jeannie and nearly everyone else at NASA knows my secret." She told him before she stretched out her hand and gently stroked the top of his head.

That's when Merlin suddenly closed his eyes and started to purr. "I can never show my face in Coco Beach again. You know how normal people feel about witches." She said before all of a sudden she got an idea and Merlin opened his eyes again as she stopped petting him before he started rubbing up against her legs while he continued to purr. "That is, unless they forget about the whole entire incident." She realized before she turned around and started heading towards her bookshelf.

Then she removed a humongous leather book with a picture of a steaming and bubbling cauldron on the cover of it. "I think I remember seeing the ingredients for the forgetfulness potion." She said to herself before she started flipping through the pages. "Aha!" she exclaimed as she landed on the proper page and then pointed at it. "Everything I need is right here. Unicorn milk, dragonflies, toad's warts, and blood of the enemy." She read aloud. "Although I have to admit, that last ingredient will be rather hard to find since right now I don't have any enemies." She said before slamming the book shut again and then placing it back on the shelf.

"Oh well, I know where to get the other ingredients anyway." She began before she suddenly realized another fact. "Wait a minute, Spike is a male unicorn and like cows and every other species, only the females give milk." She said. "Where in the world am I going to find another unicorn?" she wondered aloud to herself. "They don't exactly grow on trees." She said before she took a deep breath and sighed a heavy sad sigh.

"Oh well, I guess that I don't have any other choice. I have to go back home." She said before placing two of her fingers in-between her teeth and whistling loudly. The broomstick that had been standing up against the wall suddenly sprung to life as if it was a dog being called by its master. "I'll be back as soon as I can Merlin," Stacey began as the broom soared over to her and she caught the handle inside the palm of her hand. "I promise." She assured him before she hurried upstairs and stuck out her free hand and curled her fingers and then turned her hand in the motion that she would have done if she was turning the doorknob.

There came a sudden click and the door unlocked before she dashed out of it and ran towards the front door. She took a deep breath before opening it and stepping outside into the sunlight. "Well," she began as she mounted her broom. "here goes nothing. I'm sorry Jeannie. I'll make it up to you as soon as I can." She said before shooting up into the air like a canon and flying away.
