Author's Note: So, yeah. After lurking in the fandom for nearly four years (and being idle on this site for almost a year and a half!), I've finally written something Ojamajo Doremi-related. YAAAY :D It's just a drabble, really really short, but it's something. Right?
I actually wrote this about a month or so ago but decided that I should contribute to the VERY SMALL Ojamajo Doremi section here. X33
Okay, so this takes place after episode... ONE. OMFG S00PER SPOILER BEWARE!
...That's it. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Ojamajo Doremi ≠ mine.
Boots
Shortly after becoming Majorika's apprentice, Doremi realized that being a witch wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. She found that she had problems with several aspects of witch-dom.
Her biggest issue wasn't with getting the uniform on in time. Nor was it with riding the broom or casting spells. ...Okay, so maybe it was, but as far as she was concerned, they were just minor setbacks.
No, her biggest problem wasn't any of those.
It was the boots. She'd rather attempt to tame a wild broom than walk in those things.
"Majorikaaaa," Doremi whined, sitting down heavily and rubbing her ankles. "Do I have to wear these boots? They really hurt!"
Majorika groaned in frustration for the umpteenth time that day. "Yes, you do! They are standard issue for Witch Apprentices!"
Doremi pouted. "Are the heels standard issue, too? Can't they at least be shortened? A lot?" she added for good measure.
"NO! THE HEELS STAY!" the witch-frog yelled.
"BUT MAJORIKAAAA..."
Majorika felt as if she was going to pop a blood vessel. "Look, kid. I told you the training would be harsh and painful, but you agreed to it! You begged for it! I'm not letting you quit just because your ankles are hurting!"
"I'm not gonna quit!" Doremi hopped up onto her feet again, looking determined. "I never said that I was going to give up! No way! I'll keep trying, even if the boots hurt!"
Majorika nodded approvingly. "Good. That's what I like to hear. Now get to work on your spells!"
"Okay!" Doremi took a step closer to the table, but collapsed again. "Oww! Majorikaaaaaa!"
The old witch sighed. This was going to take a while.
