A/N: I wanted to write a short one-shot to "Movin On Up" I hope you enjoy it!


Return the Favor

"I'M FINALLY DONE!" Mateo muttered to himself as he sat on his bed in exhaustion. After he had moved all of his stuff into the castle, convinced his mother that he could live alone and placed a little monster back inside his spell book the wizard believed he have had enough for one day.

Looking out his window and seeing the moon already high in the sky the young man realized it probably was already midnight or even later. He should get some sleep but then the male teen remembered his friend. He had remembered Elena telling him that she needed to finish the paperwork she had to get done. Was she still at it?

Getting up after taking a breather the wizard made his way out of his room and toward the crown princess' office. He needed to make sure his friend got some sleep as well. It already had been a busy day for her too.

When the dark-haired teen reached the room he knocked and entered after hearing the girl's permission for him to enter.

Once in Mateo wasn't surprised to find the girl hard at work signing those papers. "Still at it, huh?" Mateo asked as he walked up to her desk.

"Yeah, I'm trying to get this done so I can spend time with Isabel tomorrow." Elena answered as she rubbed her eyes."So are you done with unpacking all of your stuff?"

The wizard nodded and pulled his tambirita out from behind him. "If you want I could help you finish this up."

"Thank-you but I'm afraid you can't sign these." Elena said as she pulled the next piece of paper off the the top of the stack and began to read it's contents.

"Who said I was going to sign it. I could use a spell to help you read faster and float each paper to you. Consider it as a thanks for letting me live here." Mateo said as he sat down on the side of her desk.

"You don't have to do that, Mateo."

"Please let me return the favor this once besides it already midnight as it is."

Smiling Elena nodded "Okay."

Once Mateo called out his spell Elena could feel the magic working as she read each word on each paper, signed them all. To her surprise it had only taken a minute!

"wow, that really helped. I should probably ask for your help more often if I have anymore of these late nights."

"Or you could just take it easy and don't overwork yourself."

"I could have today but that tall monstrous stack was Esteban's doing. Having Armando add a "few" things to the list." Elena said as the duo made their way out. Turning their conversation to a different topic Elena smiled. ""So are you glad your mother was able to let you live on your own?"

"I am. I apologize that she disrupted the rest of the staff today. She was just worried I guess." Mateo shrugged.

"It's alright, I understand."

After talking a little more the two finally reached Elena's room. "Thanks for helping me finish the paper work Mateo, I owe you one." Elena said as she hugged the male and walked into her room leaving the wizard stunned at the sudden contact and blushed.

"No problem." he squeaked to himself.


A/: I know this is short but when I was trying to work on this idea earlier in the month I couldn't get it the story to flow right. If you know what I mean. Please review! I hope to get started on "Changed Dimensions" tomorrow now that school's over!
