Cherry was grabbing the ends of her comforter as she watched TV, trying to stay awake, but found it to be difficult as it was way after midnight and she started to fall asleep. Unfortunately for her, Drell had arrived few minutes after she had went to sleep.

"Aww... Look at her..." Drell cooed, putting his hands together. "She looks so sweet and angelic when she's asleep..." he then went right next to her visible ear and yelled. "WAKE UP!"

Cherry flinched and rolled out, falling out of her bed. "Okay... Who's the wise guy who-" she then glared, clinging on top of her bed, then looked to see Drell, then smiled nervously. "We need to stop meeting like this, sir..."

"Why's that?" Drell smirked.

"Just saying..." Cherry shivered. "Uh, you better go, my parents have to get up early and-"

"Can it, Butler, I know they're already gone and won't be back until next week." Drell said then with a smile. "It's just you and me..."

Cherry went lower. "What do you want?"

"I think you know what I want." Drell said.

"Yes, sir..." Cherry bowed her head. "But, uh, tell me again..." she then lightly laughed nervously.

Drell groaned, finding it annoying, but still had to remind her.

"Oh, right, well, that can wait until tomorrow, I need to get some sleep..." Cherry crawled into her bed.

"Oh, no, you don't!" Drell lifted her up in his hand. "We had a deal, Missy!"

"Yes, sir..." Cherry looked scared then, worried he was going to harm her with his magic.

"Good." Drell smirked.

"Can I get some sleep now?" Cherry asked.

Drell shook his head at her. "Should've gotten some sleep while I wasn't here, you're in my debt now."

"Dang..." Cherry groaned. "Okay, how do you wanna start then?"

Drell began rub his hands together as he was going to love this.

"Oh, my..." Cherry was worried, then took a deep breath. "Okay... So, are you and Hilda gonna live in the mortal world or go back to the Supernatural Realm?"

"Hilda says she wants to stay here for a little while until we can find our own place," Drell explained. "That's also why she wants a mortal wedding... I don't get those Spellmans and their fascinations with mortals."

"Okay, one thing you should know is that mortals don't do magic," Cherry explained. "So, if you're gonna live among mortals, no magic whatsoever and you'll have to be powerless..." she then started to laugh as she said that and cleared her throat. "I'm sorry!"

"I'm going to have to try to not use my magic." Drell said.

"Isn't there like a spell to take away magic temporarily?" Cherry asked.

"Yes, you need to keep the magic in a jar and when the time is right, you open it and then it unleashes the magic right back to the weilder." Drell explained.

Cherry snuck a jar behind her back. "Care to demonstrate?"

"Okay." Drell said.

"Do it." Cherry urged. "Go on now..."

Drell cracked his knuckles, summoned his wand, and lifted it above his head, waving it to drain himself of his magic.

Cherry took out the jar and got his magic. "HAHA! Now I got you!" she then put the top back on the jar and sealed it tight as she now had Drell's magic. "Finally, I overpower you! I'll get back at you! I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE!"

"Shut up, Butler." Drell demanded.

"Okay." Cherry said weakly then.

"Now, keep my magic in there." Drell told her.

"Yes, sir..." Cherry put the jar down.

"Careful, don't drop it!" Drell got paranoid when it was on the edge of her window sill.

"Drell, shuuuu..." Cherry rolled her eyes at his paranoia.

"Okay, okay, fine." Drell rolled his eyes.

"Please, what could happen?" Cherry folded her arms.


They were now in Cherry's living room.

Cherry yawned, very tiredly as it was really late and she had not slept well. "Okay... Let's say you and Hilda are walking down the street and some guy tries to hit on her... What do you do?"

"I tell him to back off." Drell told her.

"And what else?" Cherry asked.

"Turn him into a toad." Drell said then.

"No..." Cherry bowed her head and reminded him sharply. "Humans don't do magic, no mortals do magic!"

"What about those guys in Las Vegas?" Drell scoffed.

"That's... That's different..." Cherry rolled her eyes.

"Okay, fine, then inform the police." Drell said.

"Very good..." Cherry said then. "Now... Do you plan to work in the mortal realm?"

Drell snorted. "Heck no."

"How will you support yourself and Hilda?" Cherry leaned back.

"Fine, I'll get a job in the mortal world." Drell groaned.

"I wonder who'd be hiring a loudmouth psychopath?" Cherry smirked.'

Drell glared at her, then tried to use his pointer finger against her, then remembered he didn't have his magic anymore.

Cherry laughed at that. "Score one for me!"

"I'll get a job as a gym instructor which means I'll whip people into shape like I am doing to Atticus." Drell smirked.

"Of course you would..." Cherry stopped laughing then. "Guess you won't be head of the council anymore..."

"No, I guess not..." Drell shrugged. "I could let Spella or Enchantra do it then..."

"Wait, so you'd actually resign just so Hilda can be happy?" Cherry asked.

"Well... Yeah..." Drell said softly then. "I love her and I would do anything to keep her happy..."

"Mushy..." Cherry shuddered.

"I do still have my original strength and can hurt you if I want." Drell threatened.

"You wouldn't do that..." Cherry shrugged it off.

Drell grabbed her then.

"Or maybe you would!" Cherry squeaked before she was pulled forward.

"Now until after the wedding, you will keep my magic in that jar." Drell said.

"Yes, Drell, whatever you say..." Cherry laughed nervously. "Um, let me go?"

"I mean it, Cherry, if that magic gets in the wrong hands, we'll all be in trouble." Drell said then.

"What could possibly go wrong?" Cherry shrugged innocently.

"Think of it as if King Sombra got his hands/hooves on my magic." Drell told her.

"But he's in Equestria..." Cherry trembled. "There's no way he could get here..."

"Can't chance it..." Drell looked away, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, boy, you make this sound like Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's wedding..." Cherry felt struggled.

"There are others just as dangerous as him and they could even get here." Drell told her.

"Of course..." Cherry sounded weak now. "You're,... Crushing me..."

Drell didn't care, he was too overly worried. "Get my magic back... NOW!"

Cherry got out of his grip and ran down the hallway back to her bedroom.

"That girl better make sure that my magic doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Drell said.


Cherry stumbled in her step, then opened her bedroom door and went over to the jar that had Drell's magic contained inside of it. She then smiled and picked it up. "There... Nothing went wrong..." she said softly.

"Good to know, now just keep it somewhere safe until after the wedding." Drell said after following into her room.

"GAH!" Cherry nearly slipped the jar out of her hands, but carefully held it in her arms then. "Sheesh!"

"Drop that and I'll punish you a whole lot worse than you could possibly ever imagine." Drell threatened.

"Well don't sneak up on me!" Cherry went into her insuite bathroom, opened up a box that kept spare toilet paper, but put it in the box and clicked it locked shut with the jar. "There, now no intruders can get it."

"Thank goodness," Drell sighed out of relief. "Well, I better go then."

"Okay, bye!" Cherry waved.

"Wait... How do I get home without my magic?" Drell asked. "Guess I'll stay here for the night."

"No, please, I beg you!" Cherry panicked.

Drell ignored her and lay back on one side of her bed. "Ooh... Nice bed..."

"Erm... Drell, that's my bed..." Cherry got edgy.

"Well, unless you know how I can get back to my home, I'm going to stay here for the night." Drell said.

Cherry shuddered and sighed, feeling trapped again. She did not know how to get him home, so she decided to just suck it up.

"He touched it, now I have to burn it!" Cherry groaned as she took a pillow and blanket, moving herself onto the couch while Drell slept in her bed.

"Have a nice night's sleep." Drell smirked.

"Ooh, boy..." Cherry groaned and turned over to get some sleep.


Throughout the Netherworld, there was word getting out of Drell getting married.

There was a cloaked woman who saw an invitation, she removed her hood and she revealed to have silky and shiny golden brown hair with chocolate brown eyes and she seemed to look a lot like Penelope. "Hmm..." she hummed sharply, she then took out a wand. "I think a score needs to be settled..." she then waved her wand and sent herself to where King Sombra had been banished to.

This seemed like this would be an interesting wedding.


Sabrina was having worse trouble sleeping, she kept having nightmares about Drell being apart of her family. But then shockingly, her nightmare turned into a happy dream with Drell still in it and still a part of the family. She then woke up and rubbed her head.

Salem woke up just as she did. "Wow, that's the first time you fell asleep tonight and didn't wake up screaming bloody murder."

"Well, because this night, it wasn't a nightmare." Sabrina said.

"I wonder if he'll give you an embarrassing nickname..." Salem chuckled. "Remember your great-great grandfather likes to call you 'Dribble Chin'."

"Yeah, I remember, Salem." Sabrina groaned.

"I'm starved... I'm gonna get some fish, you want anything?" Salem asked.

"No thanks, though I wouldn't mind a glass of warm milk that isn't already gone by the time it comes to my room." Sabrina replied.

"Okay, okay..." Salem hopped down and left her bedroom to go downstairs into the kitchen.

Sabrina then yawned and went back to sleep.

Salem hummed a tune to himself as he went to get the fish and milk. He then felt dark magic and where this one seemed very familiar.


"That can't be good..." Salem whispered. "Hello, is anyone there?" he then looked determined and serious. "I got nine lives and I'm not afraid to lose at least one of 'em! ...Just dont' take more than eight."

He saw that no one was there which could mean it was coming from somewhere else.

"Oh, please, don't be that cursed Darkness!" Salem begged.

'It's not...' a voice said.

Salem's eyes widened. "Are you who I think you are...?"

'I gave you a chance, Salem Saberhagen...' the voice tormented him.

"B-But how? I thought they had destroyed you." Salem said, scared.

'You can't keep an old man down, especially when he has a descendant who has locked away magic in him like mine...' the voice laughed.

Salem yelled out, then ran upstairs to warn Hilda and Zelda.

'And don't bother trying to warn Hilda and Zelda, they'll just think you're crazy.' The voice laughed.

"I'll show you!" Salem growled, going to do it anyway, he went to the first door and pounded his paws on it. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

Zelda yawned and came out of her room, glaring down at the black cat. "Salem, this better be good, you know we have a big day tomorrow."

"King Sombra is back!" Salem told her.

"Salem, that's silly, Sombra's been defeated a long time ago..." Zelda went back to her room to get some sleep.

Salem groaned, then rushed to the the bride's bedroom.

Hilda wore a sleep mask as she giggled in her sleep. "Why, Drell, this is so sudden, we're not even married yet..."

"Hilda, King Sombra is back!" Salem told her as he pounced on her.

Hilda suddenly woke up, she lifted her sleep mask and rubbed her eyes. "Huh...?"

"King Sombra's back!" Salem told her. "You have to believe me!"

"Oh, please, how can he be back, he was defeated a long time ago." Hilda scoffed.

"I know, but-" Salem tried to explain.

"But nothing, now get out of here!" Hilda pushed him out of her room. "It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding and a black cat just crossed my path!" she then slammed the door shut.

Salem sighed, the evil unicorn had been right. "They won't listen to me..." He then remembered Sabrina and knew that she could possibly believe him.


Sabrina was hugging her other pillow and started to kiss it. Salem rolled his eyes, then pried the pillow out of Sabrina's hold and he ended up getting a kiss on his furry cheek.

Sabrina woke up from that kiss, then freaked out. "SALEM!" she screeched in disgust and shock.

"Sabrina, you have to listen to me," Salem told the blonde witchling. "I know it sounds impossible, but King Sombra's back!"

"What?" Sabrina asked. "But how is that possible?"

"I don't know, but do you believe me?" Salem asked.

Sabrina had flat eyes. "I dunno... You've pulled a few jokes and misled me a few times..." she then shrugged shyly. "Though, as I've been getting older, you seem to be more helpful and a voice of reason..."

"You're a good kid, I'd hate for anything to happen to you." Salem smiled to her.

"And you wouldn't have woken me up or ruined my dream for no reason." Sabrina said.

"Sorry about that, but I had to tell you," Salem sounded desperate. "Hilda and Zelda don't believe me!"

"Well, most adults don't believe in everything." Sabrina said.

"It was hard for me to believe some of the stuff Annabelle would tell me..." Salem admitted bashfully.

"Well, I believe you," Sabrina smiled, then sighed. "I wish my dad were here, I bet he could help."

"I bet he could help too." Salem said.

Sabrina held Salem as she stared at the moon outside her window. "What can we do?"

"Cancel the wedding and save the day?" Salem shrugged.

"We can't cancel the wedding, Aunt Hilda will be miserable." Sabrina pouted.

"Oh, right." Salem frowned.

"This is tough..." Sabrina tried to think. "Um... I'll sleep on it and wake up early with you... I'm sure it'll be okay..." she then went back to sleep.

"Better hope so, 'Brina..." Salem sighed as he felt sleepy then. "Better hope so..."


Sombra laughed wickedly and left the Spellman house.

The witch woman from before smiled evilly to him. "Where are you going to now?"

"I'm going to see my nephew and see how strong he's gotten." Sombra told her.

"You do that and I'll go see a certain 'old flame' of mine..." the witch woman cackled.

The two waved to each other and went their separate ways. Sombra grinned maliciously as he went to visit Atticus.


Atticus continued to rest and where he didn't seem to need a lot of rest to get plenty of energy somehow. Sombra broke into his window, using his black magic. Atticus felt a slight disturbance in his slumber.

"Look at you... Getting so big and strong... You do me real proud, boy..." Sombra cooed evilly.

"Uncle Sombra? B-But how? I thought we had destroyed you." Atticus said.

"Oh, surely you were worried about your favorite evil king relation..." Sombra smirked to him. "You can't keep a good man, or stallion, down."

"What do you want?" Atticus asked.

"Why, to see you, of course..." Sombra grinned darkly. "I have a new friend who wants something to stop and it involves wedding bells..."

"Drell and Hilda are getting married, she has to realize that! And I'm talking about Penelope's birth mother!" Atticus glared.

"I know, but the wedding shall be stopped or at least destroyed." Sombra told him.

"I don't think so..." Atticus narrowed his eyes. "You'll never win and I'll make sure you don't!"

"You are so much like me when I was your age before I learned dark magic." Sombra told him.

"I'm not on your side, Uncle Sombra or no..." Atticus glared at him.

"Oh, I'm afraid you have no choice but to let me win..." Sombra grinned darkly.

"I'll fight you then!" Atticus replied bravely.

"Fine, but you'd better get even more stronger than you already were and are." Sombra told him.

Atticus growled and lunged out to tackle him.

Sombra teleported away. "Missed me~"

Atticus glared and tried to get him again.

Sombra kept getting out of the way and laughed evilly. "I'm impressed with your improvements, but face it, you can't beat me."

"I promise you, I will defeat you!" Atticus glared at him.

Sombra laughed darkly.

"Who are you teaming up with anyway?" Atticus sneered. "That filthy and greedy Ben Ravencroft again?"

"Oh, no, someone much more desirable," Sombra smiled sickly. "She goes by the name of Jezebel... She and Drell have a history together that's darker than Drell and Hilda if you know what I mean."

"Oh, no..." Atticus said.

"Oh, yes..." Sombra grinned darkly. "She's going to fetch something for me and we'll be the most powerful beings in the universe and the whole world will be OURS!"

"NOOOOOO!" Atticus yelled.

"But yes, so goodbye, nephew." Sombra smirked.

"No, you can't, come back here!" Atticus demanded, then narrowed his eyes as the evil pony left. "I'll show you... First thing tomorrow..." he then did some late night work-outs.


Cherry was sleeping fine on the couch, but then woke up, remembering she left something in her room and tiptoed into her room to get it, trying not to wake up Drell. And where to her surprise, Drell seemed to work-out, even in his sleep. Cherry rolled her eyes and shook her head, then kept going to look for what she was looking for.

She went into her bathroom and she saw the jar, though floating in the air. Due to just waking up, she didn't notice, and got her glass of water she kept on her sink. Cherry sniffled, then let out a small sneeze.

"Gesundheit." a voice said.

Cherry's eyes widened, she turned to see Sombra and screamed at him. Sombra screamed back and forth with Cherry until he dropped down, evilly in front of her as he levitated the jar and disappeared.

"Come back with that!" Cherry whispered loudly, then looked fatal. "Drell is gonna kill me when he finds out... Um... Okay, I just won't tell him... Yeah... I'll fix this on my own in time for the wedding..." she then left her bathroom with her glass of water as Drell continued to sleep, unaware of what happened. "No way this could haunt me in the morning."

Drell woke up to see her. "Cherry...?"

"Glass of water..." Cherry showed him with a nervous smile. "That's all... Go back to sleep... Nothing's wrong... Totally fine..."

Drell shrugged and went back to sleep. Cherry wiped her forehead in relief and went back to sleep.

"Wait, I can't sense my magic in the bathroom anymore!" Drell said in worried tone.

"Y-You can sense of where your magic is?" Cherry asked nervously.

"Of course I can..." Drell said, then decided to check for sure, and saw that his magic was stolen. "It's gone!"

"Oh, what a shame, wonder what happened to it, well, I gotta go!" Cherry said nervously before running out of her bedroom.

"CHERRY!" Drell yelled. "GET BACK IN HERE!"

Cherry gulped and came back, shivering like a coward.

"You know what happened..." Drell wrapped his fingers around her shoulders before moving his hand up around her throat and would squeeze if she said something he didn't want to hear. "Don't you...?"

"Uhh... Umm... heh..." Cherry chuckled nervously. "I dunno..."

"CHERRY! IF SOMEONE LIKE SOMBRA HAS MY MAGIC, THEN WE ARE ALL DOOMED!" Drell yelled.

"Oh, dear lord..." Cherry said with widened eyes.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Drell yelled before calming down. "Okay we can fight him, if I just exercise Atticus and get him stronger then ever before so then he can be as strong as me, that way so will his magic be as strong as my magic."

"When you say we, do you mean-" Cherry was about to ask.

Drell gripped her throat then, choking her, narrowing his eyes at her.

Cherry gasped and struggled. "Right! Me too!" she said in a strangled voice.

"Now, come on, since I don't have my magic anymore, you'll have to teleport us to Atticus." Drell said.

"I don't know how to teleport!" Cherry gasped, trying to get his hand off of her throat so she could breathe.

He then let her go so she could breathe.

"Think of where you want to go and then use your magic to get there." Drell told her.

Cherry gasped for air, looking like a flopping fish stranded on dry land as she fell flat on her bedroom floor. "Um... Okay... I-I'll try..."

"You better hope this works..." Drell glared to her. "I can't believe you lied to me... Don't you know that if you lie to a witch or a warlock that terrible things will happen?"

"You don't scare me..." Cherry still gasped for air.

"Just concentrate on your best friend!" Drell told her.

"Okay, okay, let me breathe!" Cherry cried. "Ugh..."

Drell rolled his eyes. "And I thought Salem was hopeless."

Cherry took a breath, she then sipped her water. "Okay... Okay... Okay... Okay..."

"MOVE IT!" Drell snapped at her.

Cherry winced, then tried to concentrate on sending them to where Atticus was, she then opened one eye, interrupting the process briefly. "You owe me big time for this."

"I don't owe you jack!" Drell retorted.

Cherry sighed and concentrated again. And where with her magic the two of them were teleported into Atticus's room.


Cherry panted, out of breath again. "Why am I always reduced to such manual labor?"

Drell grinned darkly, holding her up in the air again. "You know, I try SO very hard NOT to kill you, let's not make it even more difficult, SHALL WE!?"

Cherry grinned nervously in response.

"What are you about to do to, Cherry?" Atticus asked.

Cherry dropped down and grabbed her back. "Atticus... Magic... Sombra... Took... Revenge..." she panted, very out of breath.

"What?" Atticus asked.

"Sombra stole my magic!" Drell explained. "And SOMEBODY thought it would be a good idea to lie to my face!"

"Oh, no, this is bad. What are we going to do now that he has your magic?" Atticus asked.

"That's what we're trying to figure out..." Drell frowned. "The only other way I know to the other realm is through the Spellman linen closet."

"Right... You guys do that and I'll get some sleep..." Cherry walked off.

"Drell, this might be dangerous, so for this one time I think it's best if she doesn't come along, so then she doesn't get hurt." Atticus whispered to the strong former warlock.

"What?" Cherry narrowed her eyes, storming over to Atticus. "You drag me to Hell and back on crazy adventures... You guilt trip me into staying by your side when things look tough... We have this crazy life that doesn't allow me to be normal and have a regular life that I'll forget all about and grow up to be grow old, maybe get married and have kids... And NOW you decide to leave me OUT!?"

"Then would you like to come with us?" Atticus smirked.

"Might as well!" Cherry groaned in defeat. "The only thing worse that could happen is if Drell whines about being powerless!"

"I'm not going to whine, the only way that will happen is if I lose my strength." Drell told her.

"Thank goodness... Just anything to get you out of my house!" Cherry griped.

"Aw, don't you love having me around, you little knuckle-head?" Drell headlocked her and gave her a noogie.

Cherry grunted and groaned in total discomfort.

Drell then let go. "Where do we go from here then, Atticus?"

"Well, we could walk there, but it's ten blocks away from the Spellman house." Atticus said.

"Let's go then." Drell said.

"I should've just gone back to sleep..." Cherry grumbled as she was stuck with going with them then.

"Coming?" Atticus called to his puppy.

"Coming... Coming..." Patch groaned.

Atticus nodded to Patch and they walked off to Sabrina's house. Drell took out a spare key that was given to him. Cherry yawned as it looked like the sun was about to come up.

"As soon as we get back to my place, I will need to train you even more to get you strong as me as fast as possible." Drell said.

"Yes, Drell." Atticus agreed.

Drell unlocked the door and walked into the front foyer of the Spellman house.

Cherry dragged her feet as she followed and looked tired, she then flopped on the couch. "Time for bed."

An alarm clock then suddenly went off.

"Time to wake up..." Cherry got up then.

"I guess that's all it takes to get her up." Drell said.

Cherry groaned and felt miserable. Drell walked upstairs to get to the Spellman linen closet.


Sabrina walked out of the bathroom and loudly yawned, then saw Drell in the house which made her eyes widen. "Drell... In my house... With me... GAAAAAHH!"

"No time to explain, we need to use linen closet." Atticus said.

Sabrina nodded to them. "Of course, go straight ahead and turn right to the hole and don't forget to shut the door behind you."

"We won't forget." Atticus said.

"Hi, Sabrina..." Drell grinned to the blonde witchling.

Sabrina forced a smile to him. Drell, Atticus, Patch, and Cherry then went in the closet and shut the door behind them which summoned the thunder and lightning to take them to the other realm.

"Oh, thank God..." Sabrina shut her eyes in relief.

"Why was he here?" Salem asked.

"For some reason, they all wanted to use the closet..." Sabrina shrugged.

"Weird." Salem shrugged.

"Unless... Sombra took one of their magic powers..." Sabrina put her hands to her face in worry. "Aunt Hilda! Aunt Zelda!"

"Sabrina, what's wrong?" Zelda came over, wearing her bathrobe.

"Maybe informing them now was a bad time." Salem said with wide eyes.

"Aunt Zelda, you have to listen, King Sombra is-" Sabrina got frantic.

"Salem, did you tell Sabrina?" Zelda scolded. "You probably gave the poor girl nightmares!"

"No, Aunt Zelda, Drell just came here with Cherry and Atticus to use the linen closet!" Sabrina explained.

"What? Drell wouldn't have done that unless his magic was taken away and Sombra kept his magic powers in a jar..." Hilda said before realizing that Salem must have been telling the truth.

Sabrina shrugged.

"AHA!" Salem felt victorious. "YES! I told you and you all thought I was insane!"

"Oh, we know you're insane, but we're so sorry, Salem." Zelda said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's get dressed and get ready to help them fight him off." Hilda said.

"What about the wedding?" Zelda asked.

"We'll have time, come on, let's move, people!" Hilda directed.

Hilda and Zelda then went back to their rooms to get dressed.

Sabrina sighed and went to get dressed. "Ugh, I don't wanna go, King Sombra scares me more than Drell."

"Would you rather like him to become more powerful?" Salem asked.

"Well... No, but-" Sabrina looked back.

"But nuthin'!" Salem scolded. 'We all gotta do this, Sabrina, it's the only way!"

Sabrina groaned. "I know I'm not gonna like this."

"Yeah, yeah, just get ready." Salem said.

Sabrina sighed, then quickly got dressed.
