Chapter 39: Autumn Activities

October 27, 1866

It was a Saturday morning. In the sky, Dorrie, Candice, Sofia, Abby, Lucinda, Adair, Valentina, Lisa, Sam, Lily, and Indigo were flying brooms.

(An opening song here, sung to the tune of "Summer's Just Begun" from "TinkerBell and the Great Fairy Rescue").

"Life is cooling down, changing itself in all directions. Every little leaf is reaching out to find its own new color. Every blade of grass will start to relax. The mist will touch the ground, adding a gleam in its wake."

"The geese are flying by, heading South for the season. Crisp clouds in the sky, you know it's only the beginning. Every single pumpkin, everywhere, ready to be pie. As the season comes 'round ... once more."

"Hey, Sof?" Dorrie smiled at Sofia. "Ready for your first autumn festival weekend?"

"Absolutely!" Sofia exclaimed in joy. "It was nice of the camp administrator to invite me."

"You've taken an interest in witch culture," Dorrie remarked. "Everyone thought it would be nice for you to start sharing in our rituals".

"The breeze is blowing light and sweet. The sky, a painting for your feast. Catch the colors. Feel the coolness in the air. All the seagulls in the bay, swirling 'round like a carousel, singing loud enough to tell everyone, autumn time is here (autumn time is here)."

"There it is!" Candice pointed out. "Camp Ofelia!"

"All the seasons, all the year, lead us here on witches brooms. A season of a thousand things to be done. Autumn time is here. Autumn time is here. Autumn time is here."

Everybody landed their brooms in the middle of the camp as other young witches flew in.

"So, this is witch camp," Sofia observed.

"During the summer, yes," Lucinda answered. "In the non-summer months, Camp Ofelia hosts special events like this autumn festival weekend."

"When we were flying in, I noticed another camp in the distance," Sofia pointed out.

"That's Camp Barnabas," Indigo informed Sofia. "Its a camp for young warlocks."

At that moment, a gray haired woman with white skin walked up.

"Hello, my young witches," the woman smiled. "For those new here, I'm Morwenna Ardania, and I'm the administrator of Camp Ofelia. I welcome all of you to our annual autumn festival weekend. As a special treat this year, we have a surprise guest - Queen Annora's daughter, Princess Fidelia, who will be your guide this weekend."

Everybody clapped in approval as Fidelia, a woman with white skin who was in her thirties, walked up.

"Hello, my fine young witches," Fidelia happily greeted those present. "And I see some familiar faces among you. Nice to see you again, Dorrie, Candice, and Sofia. And it's nice to see you again, Lily, and I see you and Indigo are now friends."

Dorrie, Candice, Sofia, Lily, and Indigo smiled at being recognized.

"And who else do we have here?" Fidelia continued. "Lucinda Magwin, a wonderful pleasure as always. And Abby. You helped when the Order of the Wand tried to attack Enchancia Castle. I'll be following your career with great interest. And it's good to see you again, Adair, Valentina."

Fidelia then turned to Sam and Lisa. "And the two of you must be Samantha Cook and Lisa Elodie. I hear good things about the two of you."

Fidelia then made her way to the other young witches gathered, greeting each, before turning back to everybody gathered. "Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, "Fidelia smiled. "And one of my favorite things about autumn is pumpkin spice. If you'll follow me to the main building, we'll take part in some good old fashioned baking."

Everybody happily followed Fidelia into the main building where a number of tables had been set up with a variety of wonderful ingredients.

"For our baking, each of you have three recipes to choose from - pumpkin spice nut bread, pumpkin spice streusel muffins, or pumpkin spice cookies," Fidelia announced. "For those who need help, our staff will be walking around the tables ready to give advice and help. Let the fun begin!"

"I love the smell of pumpkin spice," Lily cheerfully said. "My mom does all kinds of baking during the Halloween season."

"I love pumpkin spice as well," Adair agreed. "In my family's restaurant, we come up with all kinds of pumpkin spice treats for Halloween. The smell is wonderful."

Everybody had a fine time baking. It was an autumn morning that would be remembered always.

After lunch, everybody went into the woods to gather herbs, plants, seeds and seed pods which would be used in future potions. Supper came, then that evening everybody walked to a nearby cemetery to adorn graves with leaves, acorns, and pine cones to honor those who had passed over. At one point during the ceremony at the cemetery, Sofia saw something out of the corner of her eye.

"What is it?" Dorrie asked Sofia.

"I thought I saw somebody standing over there," Sofia responded.

"You did," Candice confirmed. "Look."

Sofia, Dorrie, and Candice looked to see the spirit of a man standing in the background. The man smiled, waved at the three, and then slowly disappeared into thin air.

"Whoa!" Sofia exclaimed, impressed.

"That was a spirit happy with what we're doing here," Lucinda announced as she walked up. "As Halloween approaches, the spirits of the dead often make their presence known."

"It's their way of saying hi," Lily added as she walked up. "That's one of the things I love about Halloween - old souls paying the living a visit."

"Like old friends coming for a visit," Indigo smiled as she, too, walked up.

October 28, 1866

It was now Sunday at Camp Ofelia, and the autumn festival weekend was coming to a close. After a ghost story telling session, everybody headed out into the woods to visit the large trees which were located there. Many of the trees there were over one hundred years old. Hand to bark, everybody from both Camp Ofelia and Camp Barnabas greeted the trees and wished them well as the trees prepared for winter's sleep.

As Sofia gave a tree some water and some magical plant food, the tree came alive and turned toward Sofia.

"Thank you, young lady," the tree, using a male voice, said gratefully.

"You can talk?" Sofia asked, taken off guard.

"Oh, yes," the tree happily acknowledged. "To thank you for your kindness, allow me to tell you a story."

"I'd love that," Sofia smiled.

As Sofia sat down, resting her head against the tree, the tree told Sofia about its life in the forest, and how he had seen many seasons come and go. The tree told Sofia about seeing countless birds fly over throughout the years, about seeing woodland animals pass through on their daily business, and how he remembered when Camp Ofelia and Camp Barnabas were first built, and ever since the young witches and warlocks would come and visit the trees. The trees enjoyed the visits from the young witches and warlocks, since it gave them people to talk to.

After a while, Princess Fidelia gathered everybody together.

"As we say our goodbyes to autumn, let us reaffirm our vows to rise against harm and act to heal. To lend nature our voices among people," Fidelia announced.

Everybody bowed their heads in silent reflection. It was a wonderful way to end the autumn festival weekend.

October 29, 1866

It was now Monday morning. At Hexley Hall, In Charms class, Professor Fallon Griffin was teaching her students how to pull objects toward them when she heard Timothy's dry throat coughing.

"Do you need your Liquid Dawn, Timothy?" Professor Griffin asked, concerned.

"I may be thirsty, but I only need my potion when I feel tired and thirsty, I'm not tired right now," Timothy answered.

"In that case, use the drinking fountain between the lavatories near this classroom," Griffin instructed.

"Thanks, Professor, I also need to go if you know what I mean," Timothy smiled as he dashed of the classroom for the bathroom and a drink of water.

Meanwhile, a girl from Waldgrave House, Sasha, pulled a candlestick toward her.

"I did it perfectly, Professor Griffin!" Sasha exclaimed in glee. "I performed the Magnesius Charm perfectly!"

"Splendid, Sasha, sixty points to Waldgrave!" Griffin announced, pleased.

Amy checked her updated class schedule as Timothy came back into the Charms classroom.

"Yes!" Amy said, excited.

"What is it, Amy?" Timothy asked, curious.

"After lunch today, I have my chorus audition as a female soloist with Sir Maxwell while you have flight training with the headmistresses, Timmy," Amy happily informed Timothy.

"Thanks for the reminder, I need all the practice I can get, I only wonder why I only have this power ... but my birth father didn't?" Timothy responded.

"Don't worry, Timothy," Dorrie said in a reassuring voice, "Candice and I are more than happy to dig around in Royal Prep's library."

"Thanks, Dorrie," Timothy acknowledged, gratefully.

At that moment, the bell rung signaling lunch period.

"Since it's raining outside, you'll all have to get lunch in the Conjurteria today," Griffin announced as class ended.

Timothy, Sam, Kurt, Amy, Elliot, Sasha, Dorrie, Frederick, Candice, and Everett had decided to get lunch at the Conjurteria, then decided to sit at their usual table in the Hexley Hall dining hall, when Dorrie heard Timothy yawning.

"Do you have your Liquid Dawn on you?" Dorrie asked Timothy.

"Oh no!" Timothy exclaimed, worried, wide eyed. "I must've dropped it! Just my bad luck! I'm cursed!"

"Don't panic, Bro, I'm sure someone has found it and turned it in," Amy tried to reassure Timothy.

"Thanks, Sis," Timothy responded, gratefully, as Professors Silvia Sage and Yuki Moto walked over to the table.

"Here you go, Timothy, Yuki and I found this in his office," Silvia smiled as she handed the potion to Timothy.

"Professor Moto! Did you steal Timothy's potion?" Amy, Dorrie, and Candice asked, taken off guard.

"In all fairness, I did not," Yuki reassured the three. "Snively must have left it in my office to try to pin the blame on me!"

"I should have known that my rotten older brother by three years would not be able to keep his nose clean," Silvia said in disgust. "He's suppose to be on vacation, but obviously he's lurking around here!"

Amy noticed a diamond engagement ring on Silvia's left ring finger. "Professor Sage, does that ring mean what I think it means?"

"Yes, Amy, I am now engaged to be Mrs. Professor Moto," Silvia happily announced. "Yuki finally popped the question! And I said yes!"

"Sweet!" Timothy said, returning to normal. "I would love to be your ring bearer when you get married!"

"Well, thank you, Timothy," Yuki smiled. "Silvia and I would like that very much."

A magical audition

After lunch, at Royal Prep, Amy had arrived for her audition with Sir Maxwell.

"Are you ready, Lady Amy?" Sir Maxwell asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Amy responded, nervous.

"Then, go!" Sir Maxwell instructed.

Amy thought of Kurt as she begun to sing. "What would I give to live where you are; What would I pay to stay here beside you; What would I do to see you smiling at me; Where would we walk; Where would we run; If we could stay all day in the sun; Just you and me, and I could be part of your world."

At that moment, light began to surround Amy as Princess Nami started taking control.

"It can't be!" Sir Maxwell gasped in amazement.

"What is it, Sir Maxwell?" Everett asked, taken off guard.

"Amy is beginning to awaken as Princess Nami!" Sir Maxwell answered.

As she glowed, Amy continued singing. "I don't know when, I don't know how; But I know something's starting right now; Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be part of your world."

Amy then stopped glowing.

"That was amazing, Lady Amy!" Sir Maxwell said, impressed. "You've earned a spot as my lead female soloist!"

"Thank ... you ... Sir ... Maxwell ..." Amy said as she blacked out.

Elsewhere at Royal Prep, Timothy was practicing his natural ability to fly without a broom.

"Nicely done, Timothy!" Miss Flora smiled.

Timothy, out of the corner of his eye, saw Amy being carried to the nurse by Sir Maxwell. "Amy!"

At that moment, Timothy lost concentration and began to fall toward the ground but Fauna caught him in time.

"You should learn to focus your mind better, Timothy," Merryweather suggested.

"Something could be wrong with Amy!" Timothy said, worried.

"Sir Maxwell is taking her to the infirmary, we will be right behind you," Fauna reassured Timothy.

In the Royal Prep library, Dorrie and Candice were going through some books.

"Ah! Here it is!" Candice whispered to Dorrie.

"What did you find, Candice?" Dorrie whispered back.

"A book on the male Fairyardians in the West family line!" Candice announced in a whisper. "According to this, flight without the use of a broomstick or Pegasus manifests itself in those of the West family line every two generations, the last one born with the gift was a man named George Aloysius West, hmmm."

"What are you thinking, Candice?" Dorrie asked while whispering.

"Could George Aloysius West somehow be a relative of Timothy?" Candice quietly asked.

"Maybe we should ask Mrs. Higgins?" Dorrie quietly suggested. "Maybe she knew George Aloysius West ... and maybe she could confirm your theory about this man being one of Timothy's birth family relatives."

Meanwhile, in the Royal Prep infirmary, Amy started to come to.

"Sir Maxwell? Prince Everett? What happened?" Amy asked as she opened her eyes.

"You fainted when Princess Nami started taking over your body," Sir Maxwell informed Amy.

"Timmy! What's happened to Timmy?" Amy asked, sitting up quickly.

Timothy raced into the infirmary with the headmistresses by his side.

"Don't worry, Sis, I am right here," Timothy reassured Amy.

Nurse Samuel Silver put a cool damp cloth on Amy's forehead.

"Just relax, young lady," Samuel gently said to Amy. "A bit of rest, and you'll be as good as new."

About a half hour later, Dorrie and Candice walked into the Royal Prep observatory, having heard what happened to Amy.

"We heard what happened, Amy," Dorrie said, concerned. "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine," Amy reassured Dorrie.

"Timothy! We learned about your paternal grandfather, George Aloysius West from Mrs. Higgins!" Candice announced.

"I have a paternal grandfather? Is he still alive?" Timothy asked, taken off guard.

"Sadly no," Dorrie reported. "According to Mrs. Higgins, George Aloysius West died at Valtor's hand on March 16th of 1860. Valtor was certain that your grandfather was the wielder of the Amulet of Omsara or as we know it by its true name, the Amulet of Kippernilot, so, he killed George in cold blood."

"So, I'll never get to know him?" Timothy asked, sadly.

"So sorry, Timothy," Candice responded, sighing.

"But, there is one happy note," Dorrie pointed out. "Your grandfather had the power of flight without the use of either a broomstick or a Pegasus. That power ... apparently ... skips a generation."

"That is why your birth father never had it," Candice added.

"I see," Timothy acknowledged.

"It may be sad news, but at least you know a bit more about your birth family," Amy said to Timothy. "You now have more pieces to the puzzle."

October 31, 1866

It was now early Wednesday evening. In the Kingdom of Cinnibar, inside Scarlett's palace, Carla was dusting down the throne room as Faith walked into the room. Carla noticed Faith and bowed.

"Your Highness," Carla said as politely as she could muster.

"You don't have to force yourself to like me," Faith said with a smile. "You'll only be hurting yourself."

"Sorry," Carla said as she sat down on the step to the thrones. "It just feels a bit humiliating to have to wear this outfit."

Carla was wearing a maid's outfit similar to the ones in Enchancia Castle but in red instead of blue.

"That's just your position," Faith pointed out.

"Plus how long am I going to have to wear this thing?" Carla asked as she showed out her wrist and revealed her power limiting bracelet.

"We can't trust you because you made a deal with Shuriki so you could get your powers," Faith answered." We can't trust you because of your history, so we're limiting your powers."

"Very well," Carla sighed as she got back to work.

"Hey, I've been treated awfully my entire life since I was resurrected. I never thought I would get anywhere. But just look at me now," Faith said. "You're seriously going to let this get to you? You're stronger than that."

"You're right, of course," Carla admitted. "I should be grateful I'm not in jail."

"Keep your chin up," Faith said to Carla. "In time, when you've proven yourself, we'll consider removing your power limiting bracelet."

"Thank you," Carla said, gratefully.

"I've best be off," Faith announced. "I have Halloween plans tonight."

"What plans, if I may ask?" Carla inquired, curious.

"Lady Dorrie and Lady Candice will be arriving in a little while," Faith answered. "The three of us will be going Trick or Treating tonight. It's a rare chance for me to get some of my childhood back."

"You deserve that, and more," Carla smiled at Faith. "I remember Trick or Treating from my childhood. It was always a happy time. What I wouldn't give to have those times back again."

"I may be able to help you with that," Faith smiled.

"How?" Carla asked, taken off guard.

"Queen Scarlett is throwing a Halloween ball tonight," Faith announced. "While the ball is going on, we'll need somebody at the front door to hand out candy to the Trick or Treaters. Interested?"

"Oh, yes, Princess Faith!" Carla happily responded.

"Then I'll make the arrangements immediately," Faith said as she walked off.

About a half hour later, Dorrie and Candice arrived, dressed in their Halloween costumes. Dorrie was dressed as a jockey, and Candice was dressed as an archer.

"My, don't the two of you look nice," Scarlett smiled at Dorrie and Candice. "Faith will be with you in a minute."

At that moment, Faith arrived wearing a harlequin costume.

"Wow!" Candice said to Faith, impressed.

"That's a great costume, Faith!" Dorrie said, equally impressed.

"You don't think its too much, do you?" Faith asked, nervous.

"Its perfect!" Dorrie and Candice smiled.

"You look great," Scarlett happily said as she kissed Faith on the cheek. "You, Dorrie, and Candice go out and have a good time."

As Faith, Dorrie, and Candice walked outside, happily talking to each other, Scarlett smiled at the touching scene. It was nice seeing Faith happy, and having a good time with two good friends.

Halloween night

In a short while, Scarlett's Halloween ball got underway. As regal guests walked out into the ballroom wearing fine costumes, everybody started singing (a slightly rewritten version of "Masquerade" from the 2004 movie version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera").

"Masquerade! Paper faces on parade. Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you. Masquerade! Every face a different shade. Masquerade! Look around, there's another mask behind you."

"Flash of mauve, splash of puce. Fool and king, ghoul and goose. Green and black, queen and priest. Trace of rouge, face of beast, faces."

"Take your turn, take a ride. On the merry-go-round in an inhuman race. Eye of gold, true is false. Who is who?"

"Curl of lip, swirl of gown. Ace of hearts, face of clown, faces. Drink it in, drink it up till you've drowned. In the light, in the sound but who can name the face?"

"Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds. Masquerade! Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you. Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads. Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you."

"Masquerade! Seething shadows breathing lies. Masquerade! You can fool any friend who ever knew you. Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes. Masquerade! Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you."

"What a night! What a crowd! Makes you glad. Makes you proud. All the crème, de la crème."

"Watching us, watching them. All our fears are in the past. Blessed months of relief. Of delight, of Elysian peace."

"And we can breathe at last. No more threats, no more fear. Here's a health, here's a toast. To a prosperous year."

"To our friends who are here. And may the splendor never fade. What a blessed release. And what a masquerade."

Away from Scarlett's palace, Faith, Dorrie, and Candice were having a wonderful time Trick or Treating. The three had already managed to get a good haul of Halloween candy. There was one final house on the block they were on, and the three went up onto the porch, and knocked on the door.

"Trick or Treat!" Faith, Dorrie, and Candice happily said as the door opened. Standing in the door was an older woman.

"Oh, what wonderful costumes!" the woman smiled at Faith, Dorrie, and Candice.

"Thank you, ma'am," Faith smiled back.

"Oh," the woman remarked looking at her clock, "it's time for my husband's medicine. He's recovering from a cold. And I see more Trick or Treaters coming."

"We could take care of the Trick or Treaters while you look after your husband," Dorrie suggested.

"Oh, that would be wonderful, girls," the woman gratefully said as she walked off. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Dorrie, Candice, and Faith looked after the Trick or Treaters while the woman was gone. In a few minutes, the woman returned.

"Thank you for helping out, girls," the woman smiled. "As a reward, here's a second and third helping of candy."

"Thank you!" Dorrie, Candice, and Faith exclaimed in glee.

In a little while, the three returned to Scarlett's palace where Carla was happily handing out candy to Trick or Treaters.

"Thank you for letting me do this," Carla happily said to Faith. "I haven't felt this happy in a long time."

"You're very welcome," Faith smiled back.

"The ball is still going on," Carla announced. "Why don't the three of you go in and enjoy the festivities?"

Faith, Dorrie, and Candice entered the ballroom, and saw the regal guests dancing and having a wonderful time.

"Queen Scarlett sure knows how to throw a party," a woman's voice came from behind them.

Faith, Dorrie, and Candice turned around to see Tilly standing there.

"Duchess Tilly," Dorrie and Candice happily greeted.

"Nice to see you, girls," Tilly smiled at Dorrie, Candice, and Faith. "Have a good time Trick or Treating?"

"A wonderful time," Candice smiled.

"Everything went well," Dorrie reported with a smile.

"The best," Faith happily added.

"Good to hear," Tilly smiled as she walked away to mingle with the crowd. "Enjoy the ball."

Faith, Dorrie, and Candice stood watching the guests dance. It was a wonderful spectacle to behold, with guests in fine costumes, musicians playing lively music, and the ballroom brightly lit up. It was a magical night, and everything was right with the world.

(End of Chapter 39).

Author's notes

Amy, Elliot, and Kurt are originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "Substitute Cedric".

"And Abby. You helped when the Order of the Wand tried to attack Enchancia Castle. I'll be following your career with great interest" - this is a reference to events in Chapter 25 of "Dorrie: Book Two".

Carla (Delgado) is originally from the "Elena of Avalor" episodes "King of the Carnival", "Realm of the Jagwins", and "The Jewel of Maru".

Faith is an earlier version of Faith seen in the "Torchwood" episodes "Dead Man Walking" and "Fragments".

For more about the Amulet of Kippernilot, see Chapter 19 of my story "Dorrie".

George Aloysius West, Nurse Samuel Silver, Professor Fallon Griffin, Professor Silvia Sage, Professor Snively Sage, Professor Yuki Moto, Samantha "Sam" Cook, Sasha, and Timothy Baker O'Toole, are characters created by MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury, and are used in this story with the permission of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

Indigo and Lily are originally from the "Sofia the First" episodes "Cauldronation Day" and "Too Cute To Spook".

Lucinda, Miss Fauna, Miss Flora, Miss Merryweather, Prince Frederick, and Sofia are reoccurring characters seen in "Sofia the First".

Mrs. Higgins is originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "The Princess Test".

Ofilia is another spelling for Ophelia. At the time I decided to use the name Ofilia, it was shortly before Hurricane Ophelia developed in the North Atlantic Sea. This is one of those cases where fiction and reality came together at about the same time, and since I liked the name, I decided to keep it for this chapter.

Shuriki is originally from "Elena and the Secret of Avalor", and the "Elena of Avalor" episodes "Realm of the Jagwins" and "The Jewel of Maru".

Sir Maxwell is originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "The Silent Knight".

The Scarlett Warrior (A.K.A. Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett Katherine Felchenerow) is a character created by Ben10Man, and is used in my stories with permission from Ben10Man.

The scene with Faith and Carla was the idea of Ben10Man (who also provided most of the dialog for that scene). I expanded upon the idea by having Carla being assigned to pass out candy to Trick or Treaters, and by having Faith go Trick or Treating with Dorrie and Candice.

The scenes at Hexley Hall and Royal Prep were the idea of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury, who also provided much of the dialog for those scenes.

The song sung by Amy in this chapter is "Part Of Your World (Reprise)" originally sung by Princess Ariel (Jodi Benson) from the first "The Little Mermaid" movie. The reason why MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury chose to have Amy sing "Part Of Your World (Reprise)" is because Princess Nami is like Ariel.

Tilly is originally from the "Sofia the First" episodes "Great Aunt-Venture", "The Silent Knight", "Minding the Manor", and "The Secret Library".

Valtor is from "Winx Club".

"When we were flying in, I noticed another camp in the distance," Sofia pointed out. "That's Camp Barnabas," Indigo informed Sofia. "Its a camp for young warlocks" - okay, kids, I'm busted. When I named the warlock camp, I decided as a lark to name it Camp Barnabas since Barnabas Collins from "Dark Shadows" suddenly came into my head, and Barnabas seemed like a really cool name to give a camp for young warlocks.
