Calvin came to a grinding stop on the ground "Man, this is neat! Sometimes working with girls pays a dividend, but either way, wow! I can't wait to show my parents and then when I get home-"
"CALM DOWN, LOOSE LIPS!" barked Patina "You should never reveal your witchling secret to anyone, or else!"
"Or else what?"
"If I told you, your mouth would drop ten inches down"
"Sounds bad"
"Now, say goodbye to the girls and go home, tomorrow you're going to help out in the shop."
"Yikes. Tomorrow is the day that my dad's boss is gonna meet me. No can do."
"Well, find a way around that! If you wanna help the girls return me to human form you need to work on your magic!"
"Okay, I'll think of something. Good night."
As he walked home, he was stopped by Josie and Penny.
"Hello, my little chum" smiled Josie "Funny running into you here."
"Just stay out of my way, blondie. I don't want any trouble." Calvin spat.
"Oh, no trouble. We were just wondering if you'd like the DoReMi Magic Shop to go commercial?"
"Sounds cool, except that I don't trust you. See ya."
Calvin tried to walk away, but they didn't want him to go anywhere.
"Aw, come on, Calvin. Think of all the money you guys will make. Not to mention you'll be popular!"
Calvin's mind lit up. Being popular and recognized of his genius was always his biggest wish "Ok, fine. But if this is a trick, I got a hungry tiger on standby."
"I assure you, you won't be sorry." winked Penny as the two girls vanished.
The next day, Calvin and his parents were ready to meet Calvin's dad's boss.
"Can I hang out with my new friends today instead, mom?" asked Calvin.
"No. We need you with us at the meeting. Now get your clothes on."
"But, mom! Think about how antsy I'll be there! I'd probably break something!"
Calvin's mom thought hard about it, and then said "Alright. Just be on your best behavior."
"Thank you so much, mom! You won't regret it!" Suddenly, Calvin remembered the deal he made with Josie the other night. Then he remembered what Patina said about revealing he was a withchling. Calvin knew that the girls were in trouble, so after his mom dropped him off at Dorie's house, he sped off to the shop on his broom. Halfway there, he saw Josie and Penny and all of their friends with video cameras and microphones.
"I knew it! I should've never trusted that scumbag! C'mon, broom! Faster! The shop's in big dog doo!"
His broom did what it was told and took off at light speed.
At the shop, Dorie, Reanne, and Mirabelle were working on more charms to sell. Calvin burst through the doors, panting.
"Guys! Guys! On my way over here I saw Josie and Penny with video equipment! They're going to expose us!"
"How did you know that they were coming?" asked Dorie.
Calvin froze. "If I told them about the deal I made, I'll never wave another wand again!" he thought. "I saw them on the way here! What are we going to do?"
"Let's make a decoy sign saying that we've moved." suggested Mirabelle "We'll say that we moved to the other side of town! That could work!"
"Great idea, Mirabelle!" exclaimed Calvin "I'll do the honors."
Calvin waved his wand in the air and said "Josie and Penny have stepped out of line, so help us out with a renovation sign! APPEAR!"
Outside, the paparazzi crowded around the shop. They stared at the sign with confusion.
"'Uncle Chuckie's House of Ribs?'" one of the girls asked.
"Oh, snap! Wrong sign!" cried Calvin "Gotta try again!" He waved his wand. "I didn't mean to disguise our den, so straighten up and try again! APPEAR!"
Everyone outside got even more confused when they checked the sign again.
"'Wang-Chow's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet?'" asked Penny "Josie, what's going on?"
"I don't know! Those girls and their tiny twerp must be pulling tricks on us! C'mon, everyone, let's go inside!" The crowd got closer to the door.
"Oh, man! Oh, man! Oh, maaan!" whined Calvin "We're all doomed! And it's all my fault!"
"Unless…" suggested Reanne "We could give perfect harmony a whirl."
"Perfect what?"
"No time for questions, just stand in the middle and wait for our signal!"
They all stood in a triangle, with Calvin in the middle.
"One and one and one are we." Dorie chanted.
"With triple vision we are able to see." Reanne followed.
"And with all the magic powers of three." Mirabelle chanted.
Calvin froze "What's my line again? Oh, wait! I remember! We make perfect harmony."
A swirling pool of light filled the air. "Make the crowd leave!" they all commanded.
As the light faded. A sign popped up on the path leading away from the store.
"Hey, look." One girl said as she pointed to the sign.
"'Free Ice Cream?'" another girl asked.
"Let's check it out!" a third girl called out.
The entire crowd broke up and flooded down the main street, leaving Josie behind. She stood near the store and waved her fist in the air "I'll get you all for this! Even YOU, Calvin! And your little tiger, too!" She stormed off.
"We did it! We did it!" the four friends sang as they danced in a circle.
"Good job, Calvin." smiled Dorie.
"Yeah, awesome teamwork, Cal!" Mirabelle added.
"I say I'm a good witchling, aren't I?"
Just then, the cheery celebration was shattered by a loud calling "C-A-A-A-A-A-AL-L-L-V-I-I-I-I-I-I-N!"
"Uh oh." said Calvin "Gotta go." He pulled out his Dream Spinner and handed it to Patina "I guess I should give this back."
"On the contrary" said Patina "I think you should keep it. You're going to be a great witchling, Calvin. But you must remember to keep it a secret. And never use it unless it's an emergency!"
"I know."
Loreli swooped in with a big sack "This is for you. It's additional spelldrops for casting spells. Use them when nessesary."
"Ok." Calvin turned to the girls "I guess I better get going. Thanks for everything."
"Before you go" said Dorie, handing him a slip of paper with the DoReMi Magic Shop's mail address "Don't forget to write."
"I promise. After all, I am the first boy member of Team DoReMi, aren't I?"
Calvin hopped into the Goodwyn's mini-van "Bye, guys!"
ONE WEEK LATER…
Calvin ran around the corner as fast as he could. Moe was looking for him "WHERE ARE YOU, TWINKY? GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY, NOW!"
Calvin transformed into his witchling unform and performed a spell "Magic powers, hear my ode, turn Moe into a slimy toad!"
Moe suddenly grew warts and shrunk. "Gur-ribbit! Gur-ribbit!" he croaked.
Later that day, Ms. Wormwood asked him "Calvin, have you seen Moe?"
"Oh, he went home sick, Ms. Wormwood. He had a frog in his throat." Calvin winked.
THE END.
