Chapter 11: OMG!

Charley rubbed at her eyes tiredly as she slowly made her way to the old subway turnaround that Dave claimed as his lab.

"I really shouldn't have stayed up that late," Charley mumbled before covering her mouth as a huge yawn escaped. "I blame Dave," Charley said with a definitive nod. Her lips curved into a small smile as she recalled the night she and Dave kissed. It was a couple days ago, but it was still on her mind. And with them texting late into the night, she knew that Dave was still thinking about it too.

"Hey Charley!" Dave shouted as he quickly jogged to catch up with the brunette. "Wow you look tired," he said with a sheepish smile. "Guess I shouldn't have kept you up all night," he said as he hung his head in slight shame. Charley just giggled before grabbing Dave's head and bringing it back up.

"I'll live. Besides, Veronica said that practice was cancelled tonight but she had something to show us. So look on the bright side, I can't be bitten by a water snake," Charley said in a teasing tone before pecking Dave's lips. "Smile hon, your pout is breaking my heart," she said before lacing her fingers between his and continuing their trek to the lab space. Dave mumbled his breath about the ridiculousness of the girls he likes before resigning himself to being dragged to the lab.

"Veronica? Balthazar? Kaleros?" Dave called out when he failed to see the three sorcerers. He turned to Charley but she just shrugged her shoulders with a confused face.

"Maybe they lied about this not being training?" Charley suggested as she tensed slightly and kept her eyes moving around the turnaround. Dave shook his head negatively.

"Veronica doesn't lie. And I'd be able to tell if someone imitated her voice," Dave said as he walked around the lab in hopes of spotting a sign that the older sorcerers were around. The two apprentices jumped suddenly when they heard the outraged cries of their masters in the small loft like area.

"You have got to be kidding me, Veronica!" the distinct voice of Balthazar shouted in dismay.

"I won the bet fair and square, so now you two must uphold your end of the deal," the amused voice of Veronica rang out clearly. Dave and Charley turned to each other with similar looks of confusion.

"Don't ask me, I'm just as lost as you are hon," Charley said as she walked back over to Dave.

"Well at least I'm not the only one," Dave said as he wrapped an arm around Charley's shoulders.

"Veronica, I am pleading with you; please do not make us wear these ridiculous garments!" Kaleros could be heard practically whining.

"I shall not grant you mercy. Now your apprentices are most likely here and it's time for them to understand why they should never make a bet with me," Veronica declared with a smug voice. Charley winked at Dave before moving her free hand to cup around her mouth.

"Veronica! I thought you said you had something to show us! All I see is the same old stuff!" Charley shouted with a smile.

"We're coming!" Veronica said with far too much glee. She breezed through the doorway of the loft area and practically skipped down the stairs. "Now you two, I have a very important lesson to teach you. I have always been very intuitive, and I am rarely wrong when it comes to matters of the heart. As such, when I offer to make a bet on such matters, refuse immediately. Or else you shall be subjected to the same type of punishment as Balthazar and Kaleros," Veronica said in a deadly serious tone. Dave and Charley nodded their heads yes with quirked eyebrows.

"Veronica, what are you talking about?" Dave ventured to ask.

"The three of us had a bet going on when you two will be together," Veronica said, smiling as she saw the two young adults blush and smile, "and I have won our bet. So as the terms state, they must wear an outfit of my choosing. And I have chosen the perfect outfits," Veronica said with a slightly mad smile on her face. The apprentices looked slightly frightened as they leaned away from the woman.

"And what are our masters wearing?" Charley asked in fear. Veronica's mad smile grew before she turned to face the loft area once again.

"Boys, come down please!" Veronica said in a sing song voice. The two apprentices could not hold themselves up after their masters walked out of the loft. Kaleros and Balthazar shot harsh glares at the rolling apprentices who were trying, and failing, to breathe through their laughing.

"Kaleros, that dress does nothing for your figure!" Charley shouted through laughter and gasps.

"Balthazar, you should have shaved before wearing that!" Dave gasped out as he and Charley continued to roll on the ground. Kaleros and Balthazar scowled in disdain at the matching, frilly, pink polka-dotted, little bo beep dresses that they were currently sporting. Complete with a poofy white bonnet on top of their heads and knee high socks and pink mary jane shoes.

"I thought it was appropriate because they are leading their lambs through the world of magic," Veronica said between her own giggles. Her smile spread as she watched the two apprentices relax in the presence of their ridiculously dressed masters. Now she knew that a deeper bond between master and apprentice could be formed between all four of them.

So what do you think? I thought the little bo beep costumes were just inspired! Let me know what you think in reviews or PMs. And don't forget, reviews make sure you get what you want to read! Thanks!
