Sabrina - The After Years
What the moon shall bring...


I adjusted the straps to the new black dress Aunt Zelda zapped in hastily as I looked doubtfully into the mirror. How am I supposed to know what to dress like, if I don't even know where I am going tonight? Is there a special celebration going on? Maybe it was someone's birthday! Oh wait, I hope not... I don't remember it being anyone's birthday...
Deciding that this was the best I was going to look for the night I rushed into the hallway, strait into the demon herself.
"Hilda! Are you coming or not!" Zelda screeched loudly, causing me to clap my hands over my ears and look at her in slight distaste.
"What?"
"We have to go NOW! I don't fashion being late to everything!" She snapped, her eyes blazing with anger.
I turned around and pouted sadly. "Okkay... Aunt Hilda can we please go now?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming..." She replied blankly as she pasted another coat of lip-gloss against her lips.
They walked into the linen closet as I stood there dumbly. Wait; shouldn't I know where we are going first? What if they take me to some family reunion or something?
"Come on honey, I don't want Zelly to have a breakdown here."
"Maybe if you weren't constantly making us late, I would..."
I put my hands in between them, signaling silence as they looked at the floor with guilty expressions.
"I'm sorry, I really am, but we need to go." Zelda sighed, looking at us with pleading eyes.
"Ok, but first... where are we going?"
Hilda squealed with delight and ushered me into the closet, ignoring my many protests. "You'll love it, I promise!"
"You're not even going to tell me?"
"No." They both said as the linen closet took a jump and I was blown out and into what seemed like a future galactic movie scene.

"Wow. What is this?" I asked, taking in the sights around me in amazement. Even though I swore it looked like we were in a room of some sort, the moon was blazing with white light in the night sky. The stars twinkled brightly as if they were greeting you with welcoming smiles and the dark night gave everything a tint of wonder and adventure as you walked around the room.
"This is your first Full Moon party Sabrina! You like it?"
I glanced back down to them, my happiness spreading across my face in seconds and I pulled them both in a tight hug.
"How did you know about this?"
"Every witch knows about it sooner or later. Every year it seems more and more people are here."
Hilda nodded her head quickly in agreement. "Yeah, someone must be spreading around the good word."
"So, what do we do at a Full Moon party?" I asked, my eyes still transfixed on the sights around me.
"Well, they have games, dancing, food.. Oh and the Full Moon Ritual."
"What is the Full Moon Ritual?" I asked as my stomach jumped around in excitement and nervousness.
"Putting it in simpler terms, it basically gives you good luck to last until the next full moon."
"Well, then wouldn't someone have bad luck if they missed a ritual..?" I asked as my excitement turned into sadness instantly.
"No. It just guarantees it. Kind of like a "for sure" kind of thing, you see?"
I agreed quickly as I smiled once more. "Yeah, I see. Well, let's go have fun!"
"Well what do you want to do first?" They asked, taking a peek at the different wonders surrounding us.
"How about the games? What are they like?"
Hilda grabbed my arm, pulling me along with them. "You'll see."
"This better be good..." I mumbled doubtfully.

As we walked, the room seemed to expand more, only making me more confused as to where I was going.
Hilda finally let go of my arm and I pulled up to the stand before me. It looked like a regular, ordinary mortal dunking booth with a big blue sign at the top reading:

Fabulous Once In A Blue Moon Dunking Booth.
Dunk Drail and win the prize of your choice.
Price of 3 dollars.

"3 dollars to dunk Drail?" I asked in disbelief.
Hilda looked at me, a funny smile plastered on her face as she looked up at the sign in front of her.
"This I have to try!" She squealed, handing the money to the man quickly.
"Oh this has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever!" Zelda whispered to me quietly, staring at the dunking booth in disgust.
"Couldn't Drail just make it the way he wants? You will never win!"
"That was my point."
"Oh, I knew that.. Just making sure... that you knew that too.." I replied quickly as the man handed Hilda three gleaming stars for her to throw at the marked target.
"Hilda is that really the best you can do? Ha! And you call yourself a witch!" Drail replied hoarsely, laughing hysterically at her angry expression.
She smirked evilly at her new-found advantage and threw the star with all of her will. She screamed happily in success, reaching for the plush stuffed pillow as Drail struggled to emerge from underwater.
He spluttered desperately with no avail. "You cheated!"
"You wish Drailly!" She smiled evilly, sticking her tongue out at him in celebration and walked away in a huff.
"Well, that surely wasn't what I was expecting.." I said with a stunned expression.
Zelda nodded and we glanced from Drail to his trailing eyes. "Definently not."

We walked away from him, our heads high in the air, laughing all the way across the room.
"Hilda that was bloody brilliant!"
"I know. Thanks Sabrina."
"Well aren't we the modest one..." I muttered, raising my eyebrow at Zelda in question.
They all cracked up in laughter as they served themselves their food from the buffet table.
"Wow this is good!" I exclaimed, taking another bite of the salad on my plate and sat down at the beautifully covered table in the middle of the dance floor.
"All their food is great. You should try this Macaroni and Mustard!"
I looked at Hilda weirdly and shrugged. "Maybe next time..."
"Well eat up, the ritual is about to start.
"Oomph.. Coming!" I said, scooping up the last bites of my salad, dumped it into the trashcan, and clapped my hands together. "Let's go!"

The room cleared suddenly and candles appeared in every corner as soft entrancing music began to play behind the night sky. The Witches Council shoveled everyone into the center of the floor and we sat in a circle, our arms tangled around the arm of people who you sat next to.
"What do we do now?"
"Shhh!" Zelda whispered rudely and turned around, her attention diverted to the candles in front of her.
"Everyone, we are pleased to welcome you to the 59th Full Moon Festival! I hope you are enjoying your stay here. Now to begin with the ceremony... Everyone close your eyes slowly. Good! Now repeat every chant after me.

This Full Moon is surely bright,
Hold us high with its light.
To be happy each and every day,
May good luck shift our way
.

Now, everyone.. Blow out your candle and stand up. Great! Now, walk to the right quickly in a circle. Chant it again!

This Full Moon is surely bright,
Hold us high with its light.
To be happy each and every day,
May good luck shift our way.

Great! You may seat yourself. Keep your eyes focused and closed. When the bell rings, you may open your eyes and see the happiness good luck can bring!"
I opened my eyes at the sound of the bell and sighed silently. "Wow, that was great! I feel so relaxed!"
"Mmm, isn't this nice? Now aren't you glad you came?" Zelda asked, opening her eyes and adjusting to the now bright, glowing light the moon was beaming.
"Sabrina!" I turned around quickly in search of the scream. Who was yelling my name!
Valerie appeared from behind a crowd of departing people and jumped around me.
"Sabrina, you have to come to Harvey's hockey game!"
I looked at her worriedly and stood shaky. "He has a game tonight?"
"Yeah and they think some scouts will be there!"
"Well, let's go! Aunt Hilda, Aunt Zelda do you mind?"
"Not at all. Go have fun!" I waved at them and turned around. Oh Harvey! How am I going to do this!

It wasn't long before we arrived at the rink. I could spot Harvey easily over the crowd, playing in the middle of everyone. It doesn't seem like that long ago, when I loaned him those skates from the Gods.. Everything seems to go by so fast.. Well I'm not going to let it do that anymore! I'm going to make things right!
"Go Harvey! Oh my gosh Sabrina! I can't believe they won! Oh, and there is that scout they were all talking about!"
I broke away from my reverie and glanced up. She was right. That scout was talking to Harvey!
I brushed past everyone in a hurry as I wrapped my scarf more closely around my neck. I couldn't tell by now if my fingers were tingly from the thought of Harvey or from the drift coming from the now melting ice. Everything seems to remind me of him.. I just wish I would have noticed it before. All the signs.. They pointed to him. It was so obvious and yet I overlooked every single clue and now here I am; Alone and cold.. Waiting for Harvey to come back to me.
"Harvey!" I screamed through the crowd as he rushed over to me.
"I did it!"
"Did what?"
He smiled sweetly at me and whispered huskily in my ear. "I made the professional hockey team."
I backed from his embrace and looked deeply into his eyes. He had made it! This is what I have been wanting for him forever! He did it. My Harvey did it. Wait, no that isn't right.. Not my Harvey anymore..
Before I could think clearly about it, I reached up and pulled his lips down to mine, catching him in an embrace so passionate, it felt hard to breathe. He lips moved against mine furiously and I pressed my tongue against his lips, asking for desperate entrance.
"Wait Sabrina!" He said in a hushed voice and pulled away slowly.
"What?"
"We can't do this anymore."
I brushed away the tears now gathering in my swelling eyes and I looked at him pleadingly.
"Not if your not sure."
And with that he walked away, leaving me to stand there and cry. I turned around and ran. It didn't matter where I went, I just needed to get away as soon as possible. He was right. I shouldn't have done that to him. I zapped myself home immediately and fell into my bed with a sob. This wasn't fair.. My heart had just broken all over again. So much for my good luck charm...

To Be Continued...
