"Are wizards real?" Spud asked out of the blue.
Jake looked at his friend, not even sure he wanted to know what the purpose of this. But it would be interesting to find out. "Yeah, why do you ask?"
"I just figured, you know, you would know…" Spud continued awkwardly, refusing to let Jake know what he'd been hoping.
"As far as I know, I've never met a wizard, but G says they exist and he hasn't been wrong yet."
"As far as you know? How would you not know?" Trixie wondered aloud.
"Same way you didn't know I was a dragon. Most of us can pass for human pretty easily…shape shifting, spells, stuff like that."
"So Rotwood could be a wizard and we would never know?" Spud was awed.
"I doubt he is, considering that pretty much nothing he teaches is actually legit. But yeah, he could be. Why are you asking so many questions about wizards?" Jake said.
Trixie shrugged. "Dragons are real. Dogs apparently talk. Who knows what else is out there?"
"Umm…pretty much everything. Fairies, elves, unicorns, gnomes, werewolves, ogres…" Jake's voice trailed off. "The stories get some details wrong, obviously, but the actual creatures exist."
"Santa Claus?" Spud inquired hopefully.
"Probably. I mean, I've met the tooth fairy. So why not?"
"Whoa, hold up," said Trixie, startled. "You met the tooth fairy?"
"Yeah, when Haley lost her first tooth, this army of tooth monsters showed up and attacked us...uh…" Jake stopped speaking, not wanting to weird his friends out.
"Have I ever met a magical creature without knowing it?" Trixie demanded, a bit pissed off that she wouldn't have noticed that.
"Besides me, Haley, my mom, Gramps, and Fu?" Jake replied. "Yeah, a couple. I brought a nix to a school dance once. You met her. And there was this one incident with a genie. Spud thought it was a magical rabbit." He shook his head, befuddled.
"What's a nix?" Trixie asked.
"A type of shape shifter. Most of the time, they look like human girls. But when the moon reaches the center of the sky…yeah, not so much. They turn into these mindless soul-sucking demons and go around feeding on humans. Sadly, she didn't tell me about that part until after it had already happened. We got everyone's souls back in the right bodies, though, so it's all good," Jake said.
"Wait a second…" Spud turned to Trixie. "Hey Trix, remember that thing…?"
"Thing?" asked Jake.
"Oh God, that thing!" Trixie groaned. "All this time, I thought that was a dream!"
"Wait, what did you see?" Jake asked.
"You made a mistake when you were putting everyone's souls back," Trixie told him.
"I was female, bro," Spud said with a shudder. "Bras are horrifying things."
Jake cringed with horror. "That sounds pretty bad."
Trixie snorted. "Yeah, well, being you wasn't so great either, Spudinski. And it was just a training bra, so shut up."
"Didn't need to know that, Trix," Jake said, wincing.
"It gets worse, Jake," Spud groaned. "She was on her period."
"Oh my God. I feel so bad for you right now." It was times like this that Jake felt really, really grateful to be a guy.
Trixie scowled. "Yeah, well, I had a penis and it sucked." Realizing what she'd just said, she glared at the two boys. "Not a word."
Both males were already laughing uncontrollably. (A/N Remember, they're thirteen-year-old boys.)
"Hey, Jake? I'm kind of curious about those tooth monsters…" Spud mused.
