"Are you crazy!?" he yelled. "It's broad daylight outside! You can't send this thing out there!"
"There's nothing else we can do," Matthew said. "Every time we think we kill it, it just comes back. Kind of annoying if you ask me."
"Nobody's asking you," Wesley said.
"Is Wesley Williams out here?" a voice said from behind the dean's door.
"Crap!" Wesley shouted as he froze Dean Moon in the nick of time. "Look at what y'all are doing to me! This is driving me crazy!"
"All you have to do is say the spell with us," Matthew said, unraveling a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Fine," Wesley said as he joined in with his brothers.
"Dog faced demon, your days are done.
Fire shall consume you until you are none!"
The demon simply exploded into bits and pieces of residue, which in turn dissolved into nothing. Its screams could be heard as it was vanquished. Wesley turned around to see Dean Moon unfreeze and Stephanie begin to come to. He turned back to James and Matthew and glared at them.
"Okay," he said. "It's done. Now, please leave."
"What are you even here for?" Matthew asked.
"Haven't you noticed my lack of presence from the room?" Wesley asked. "I'm here to get a new roommate and a new life."
"I don't think they give out new lives here," James said absentmindedly as Wesley rolled his eyes.
"What happened here?" Dean Moon asked, confused. "Stephanie, are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah," Stephanie responded, shaking her head. "I just..."
"She pulled an overnighter last night," Wesley said quickly. "She just dozed off for a minute."
"Dozed off?" Dean Moon asked. "On the job?"
"It's my fault," Wesley said. "I kept her up last night studying. Can we talk now?"
"I," Dean Moon said, still apprehensive about Wesley's story, "I suppose we can. Come on into my office."
Wesley slyly grinned as he waved goodbye to James and Matthew and winked at Stephanie. She mouthed the words 'thank you' to him for saving her the trouble of trying to explain what she thought she saw. James and Matthew, realizing that there was nothing that they could do to change Wesley's mind, turned and left the room.
"What is he thinking?" James asked, pacing back and forth in his room.
"Will you please stop that?" Matthew said. "You're starting to wear a trail on your floor."
"Sorry," James said, sitting down on his bed. "It's just that...he has no idea about what he's doing. He can't just abandon us, especially now that we're...supernatural. He's being completely close-minded, ignorant, and selfish. I mean, here we are, throwing our asses on the line almost every day and he just ups and wants to quit. We've been doing this for a few months now. He should know the drill by now. It's so..."
"Jimmy," Matthew said, but was not heard.
"...Frustrating that he can't let any simple thing go," James continued. "What is it about 'we were possessed' that he can't understand? I can't make any sense of..."
"JIMMY!" Matthew exclaimed, finally catching James' attention. "You're obsessing over something that's not worth obsessing over. Listen, I know how you feel. I was there, too, remember? But, it seems to me like you're trying to make everything go your way, and things just can't go like that."
"What are you talking about?" James asked. "No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are," Matthew answered. "You're not listening to Wesley. You need to show some kind of emotion other than...arrogance...around him. He probably thinks that we don't care about how he feels. That's probably why he's fighting so hard to get out of this. We have to meet him halfway and acknowledge his feelings."
"When did you turn into a counselor?" James asked.
"When I became the dreaded middle sibling," Matthew sighed. "The point is that we need to stop being witches first and start being brothers."
"That doesn't make any sense," James said. "We're both."
"You know," Matthew said, shaking his head, "I can understand why he always makes fun of you. What I'm trying to say is that even though we're both, we shouldn't focus on the witch part as much as the brother part."
Truer words were never said, Matthew! Coming up next time: Wesley talks to the dean about changing roommates and a new evil appears in the midst...
