19th Birthday: Seeing Mom at Last #3
Disclaimer: Here it is part three! (In case you don't watch the show Katrina is Sabrina's evil twin. )
"Mommy!" Sabrina cried. She rushed into her mothers arms. Somehow she had gotten free of the portal. Tears streamed down her cheeks. "Wait a minute." Her stepped back and looked at her self. "Why aren't I a ball of wax?"
"Mom!" Sabrina said. "Don't you remember? Today is April 20-my birthday."
"Oh, yes, now I remember, you're 19." Sabrina laughed and hugged her mother more. Then they set off to her Mom's camp, there they had bug juice and worm cookies. "Are you sure there are no worms in the cookies?" Sabrina asked her mother. "Of, course I'm sure, they're just sugar cookies but they call 'em worm cookies to scare people." Sabrina didn't answer because her mouth was full of juice. After Sabrina finished her juice and cookies, her mother invited her to come dig for fossils. Sabrina eagerly agreed and changed into a tan colored shirt with lots of pockets and matching shorts. "Good, you look like a real fossil digger," said Sabrina's mom. Sabrina glanced around the room and her eyes fell on an "out of business" sign. She knew this could mean bad news for her mother yet, she didn't say anything. They gathered their tools and climbed up desert hills until they found the spot that her mother's fossil group was working on. When no one was looking, Sabrina zapped up a large spade, sat down and began to dig hastily. "Whoa, whoa," a voice stopped her. Sabrina found herself looking at a tall, blonde, man. "You can't use a spade, all the fossils will be ruined. Say, where'd you get that spade anyway?" Sabrina stared at the man and tried to think of an answer. "M-my mother gave it to me." She finally stammered. The man must of noticed Sabrina's weird stares, so he said "forgive me for not introducing my self, my name is Andrew James, Andy for short." Sabrina thought Andy was kind of cute, his soft blonde hair was just enough to make her melt. "Say," She said suddenly. "What do you do here?"
"I'm the head" Andy told her.
"Really?"
Sabrina paused thinking about whether or not to ask about the sign she'd seen. She decided to go for it. "Did you put up the sign?" She asked. "Yeah." Andy sighed, "It's too bad I'm going to have to lay off some people. I'll let you in on a little secret." Andy leaned close. "Just between you and me, since Annie gave you that spade since she knows that it could be bad I'm going to have to lay her off." Sabrina's jaw dropped. "Oops!" Andy glanced at his watch. "I have to go to a meeting. Nice meeting you Sabrina." And with that he went away. Sabrina stood there, gaping. Her mother would lose her job and it was all Sabrina's fault. "Oh, I see you've Andy." Sabrina's mom came up to her. Should I tell her that she's losing her job? She asked herself. Yes. She decided, She's going to find out anyway. Just as she was about to start. Salem appeared on the ground. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. "Your aunt's wanted to talk to you, so they sent me here. You got any tuna?"
"Yes, It's in the fridge."
"And where might the fridge be?"
"Over there." Sabrina pointed north.
"Oh, okay." Salem headed off. Then he stopped.
"I can't open the fridge!" He yelled.
"I was wondering when you were going to find that out." Sabrina laughed and told him that he would get some fish later. She walked into the lodge and pulled out the compact portal that her aunt's had given her.
"Under the moon of great green cheese.
"Make everyone in this room Freeze!"
Sabrina conjured the familiar spell and pushed "on" on the portal. A vision of her aunts came up. Aunt Zelda was making pot roast and Aunt Hilda was happily biting into an apple.
"Sabrina!" Aunt Zelda called. She took off her pot holders and came over. "You'll have to come over right away. Katrina stole your witches license and the witches council can't remember if you're thirteen or not! Katrina also stole your record of your tests." Sabrina noticed that her aunt's nail polish had turned from purple to white. "This apple needs something zesty." Aunt Hilda announced. She zapped up a tub of chocolate sauce and poured it over her apple. "Eww!" Sabrina made a face. Then she turned back to Aunt Zelda. "Katrina? How did she get out of witch prison." Then she knew how. Katrina was an expert as picking locks and casting spells. "Zeldy have you seen my tie?" Sabrina's father walked into the room. Seeing Sabrina he said, "I heard what happened, I'll be your lawyer, after all the witches council is very hard to beat. "
"I'll come home in a few minutes. By Aunt Zelda." She closed the portal and sighed. I'll get you Katrina. She thought. Someday I'll get you and you'll be sorry you stole my license. "There you are," Her mother said coming over to her. "Huh?" How come your not frozen like the other people "I'm going to get a soda, you want one?" Her mother smiled. "It's so much fun to be with my little girl again. I want to make up for lost time." Sabrina thought it would break her mother's heart if she said that she had to go home-but she did it anyway. The witches council didn't like to be kept waiting. "Mom," Sabrina said. "Something's come up at home and I have to go." Her mother's smile faded from her face. "With Mark?" She asked. Mark was Sabrina's father. "Yes, kind of."
"I'll kill him." Her mother exploded. "I put up with the papers, custody, and now he takes you away on the first day I see you in 6 years."
"No mom, it has something to do with the witch-" Sabrina tried to explain, but her mother cut her off.
"I should of never married that man. He never told me he was a warlock until the last minute. Now he's turned you into a witch and you'll never live a normal life! You're not going and that's a promise!" Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Mom," Sabrina said softly. "I'll always love even if I'm a monkey and you know it. I know you want the best for me but can't you see? You're just making it worse by not letting me go. If I don't go I'll have to take my test over again. That means one more year until I see you again. I couldn't bear not being with being with you for that long. Mommy, I love you so much!" Sabrina's blue eyes sparkled with tears. "My baby, you've grown up so fast." Her mother said. "Look at you, tube tops, Capri pants, I can't help but wish that I had my little girl back."
"Oh mommy, I'll always be your little girl. But I have to go now." Sabrina bit her lip and leaned over to kiss her mother. Then she climbed through the portal, and cried. When she finally stopped. She went through the linen closet and into the Other Realm.
Will Sabrina manage to save her mother's job, and get her license back? Or is it one more year before Sabrina's with her mother again. Find out next time on 19th Birthday: Seeing Mom at Last. Oops! Guess it won't end in part three. ^_^ BookkeeperBrooke.
