Ookay, so, I haven't updated this fic for a very long time… It's due to the fact I got Windows XP lately and well, I didn't find the installation for Microsoft Office until now…

So, anyways, let's get back to that part, you know… ah, anyways, here's Chapter 7! XP

And btw, do you still want me to make flashbacks, because I'm kinda lazy to do them right now… ;;;

Chapter 7: The Familiarities

Inside the Spellman household, Sabrina and her family, and also including Nicole, are still in the kitchen, waiting for something to happen. They were quite getting bored as they watched Nicole typed something in her laptop. That was also the only time that Sabrina knew that Nicole also owned a laptop similar to Avegaille's. Then, all of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Hilda quickly stood up from her seat and walked off the kitchen to get the door.

"Hmm, I wonder who could that be," Sabrina murmured to herself. She turned to her Aunt Zelda. "Hey, Aunt Zelda, isn't today that day where your tutee comes here for warlock lessons?"

"Ah, yes, that must be him," Zelda exclaimed out as she stood up.

"Phil comes to this house every Friday?" Elizabeth exclaimed out excitedly.

"Yeah… uh, you know him?" Zelda asked nervously as she sweat-dropped.

"Not really, but I noticed that Avegaille has a crush on him," Elizabeth replied as she chuckled.

"Yes, while we were at the park, I notice that Avegaille's sudden reaction to him was a bit… too dramatic," Nicole interrupted to everyone as she went back to typing in her laptop.

"Err… yeah… I think I get it now…" Sabrina murmured out as she remembered how much Avegaille yelled at her in the park earlier.

Then, Hilda came back, this time, having Avegaille and Phil with her. Avegaille wasn't too happy about Phil being in the same household as where she's going to live for ten years. Avegaille went near Nicole as Zelda stood up to greet Phil.

"I think the attic is all set for practicing," Zelda told Phil. "Come on, let's go! Hilda's you're coming with me today."

"Okay then, sheesh," Hilda murmured out as she followed Zelda and Phil walking out of the kitchen.

As the three of them left, Elizabeth was looking at Avegaille in a kind of suspicious manner. Nicole just knew that Elizabeth is going to tease Avegaille about Phil, so she had to get ahead to her. Sabrina was looking at Avegaille, who was still standing still in her spot, looking through the kitchen window.

"Hey, Avegaille, do you and—"

"Don't say it!" Nicole quickly exclaimed out as she covered Elizabeth's mouth.

Sabrina sweat-dropped as she noticed Nicole's sudden reaction over what Elizabeth was about to say.

"I think I'll go to my room now," Avegaille murmured out as she went out of the kitchen.

As Avegaille was out of earshot, Nicole quickly put down her hand as Elizabeth looked at her annoyingly. And Sabrina still wants to know what makes Nicole so loyal to Avegaille even though they just met again.

"You didn't want me to tease Avegaille, did ya?" Elizabeth asked out to Nicole.

"That's kind of the idea, Avegaille doesn't like it at all," Nicole replied out. She turned to Sabrina, who was gazing at something. "Hey, Sabrina, is there, something bothering you?"

"Wha?" Sabrina shook her head and saw Nicole and Elizabeth standing in front of the kitchen table. "Uh, it's nothing, really…"

"If you insist…" Nicole sighed out as she closed her laptop. She picked it up and carried it in her arms. "Do you mind if I went upstairs to Avegaille's room?"

"Sure, I'll even show you the way," Sabrina replied as she shrugged. She turned to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, you can come with us if you want."

"Yay!" Elizabeth exclaimed out. Then, her excitement faded. "Was I supposed to be excited?"

Sabrina and Nicole sweat-dropped as they looked at Elizabeth exasperatedly.

"I'm bored, there's nothing more I can do here rather than to endure my stay here in the Mortal Realm for ten years…" Avegaille said to herself as she sat up from the bed she was lying. She sighed as she stood up. "But having someone to talk to, like Nicole, is a good thing, right?"

She walked back and forth and then stopped for a while. She noticed that the setup of her room in the Spellman household was the same one in her house in the Other Realm.

"I also never knew that Phil would be in the same town as I am," Avegaille continued on. "And talking to myself has never been more this creepy."

Then, Avegaille heard a knocking sound from her door. She quickly approached the door as she opened it. Then, she saw Nicole standing right in front of her.

"Talking to yourself much?" Nicole asked as she looked at Avegaille skeptically.

"You heard it, didn't ya?" Avegaille murmured as she sighed.

"Not really, but still, you always post your ranting in your online journal, which only you and me can access, even today," Nicole said. "I also do the same thing, like you told me to. So yeah, that's why we're so close even if we just been together when we were younger."

"Our online journals makes us closer!" Avegaille exclaimed out happily. She smiled as she pulled Nicole inside her room. "Will you stay here for a while? It would be fun."

"I wish I could, but I have to go home," Nicole said glumly. "If I don't, my mom would be very furious if she finds out I sneaked out of the house again."

"Maybe a teleportation spell is at hand, don't you think?" Avegaille asked out as she winked.

That night at the Chandler residence, Nicole walked into the kitchen as she saw her mother sitting down at the kitchen table, looking very desperate. Nicole went close to her. Her mother noticed this and decided that it was time to tell her something. Mrs. Chandler stood up from her seat and went in front of Nicole.

"Nicole, I think you should know something," Mrs. Chandler started out.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Nicole asked, with a skeptical look in her face.

"I'm afraid I can't afford your studies in a boarding school anymore," Mrs. Chandler admitted. "I just lost my job today, and well, I getting a new one at Greendale Middle School as a teacher for Witchcraft studies. That means, you'll be studying at Greendale Middle School from now on."

"It's okay then, Mom, I don't mind at all," Nicole said as she sighed with relief.

"Thanks, I knew you would understand," Mrs. Chandler said happily as she held her daughter's hands.

At least now, I can go to a school where my friends studies, Nicole thought to herself.

Finally, it was Saturday, but Sabrina didn't know what's so special about Saturdays. She feels that it's the same day as any other day. She was currently doing her chores for the day. She wanted Avegaille also to know what's it's like to be a mortal, starting with household chores. So, now, she's stuck teaching Avegaille on how to use a vacuum cleaner in a way that is not for flying. Both of them were currently at the living room.

"Avegaille, how hard is it for someone like you to understand the meaning of chores?" Sabrina asked out as looked at her exasperatedly.

"My mom never lets me do any chores at home," Avegaille told her. "She fears that I might break stuff, so she might as well not let me do any household chores."

"You're so spoiled," Sabrina murmured to herself as she sighed. "This must be how your sister felt when she's teaching you stuff."

"Yeah, you do remind me of my sister," Avegaille remarked. "But you're not bossy, unlike her."

"Gee, I'll take that as a compliment," Sabrina murmured sarcastically. She looked around the living room, trying to find the household cat. "Gah, where's Salem when you need him?"

"Looking, for, mwua?"

Sabrina and Avegaille turned around as they saw Salem standing behind them, sitting down and licking his paw with his tongue.

"You know, Sabrina, I think it's not a good idea to let Avegaille do chores at all," Salem told her as he stood up and walked up to her. He jumped into the couch to get an eye to eye contact with Sabrina. "Zelda got a call from Avegaille's mom last night, warning Zelda not to let Avegaille do any chores, if we don't want a bulldozed house."

"Uh… I think her mom is exaggerating things too much," Sabrina remarked as she sweat-dropped.

"Wanna bet?" Salem insisted.

"Okay, if what you say is true, I'll give you tuna for a week," Sabrina declared. She turned to Avegaille as she handed to her the handle of the vacuum cleaner. "Here, why don't you do the vacuuming for a while?"

"Uh… okay then," Avegaille said nervously. She turned on the vacuum cleaner as she started to walk around the living room, with the vacuum claner in front of her.

"See, she's doing fine," Sabrina said confidently to Salem.

"Heh, I'll be talking that tuna now, starting today," Salem said as he pointed his paws to Avegaille.

Then, Sabrina and Salem saw Avegaille accidentally tripping on the wire of the vacuum cleaner. She fell down on the floor, which was near the bookcase, causing the bookcase to almost fall down on her, if Sabrina didn't quickly hold on the bookshelf. Most of the books in the bookshelf fell down and over Avegaille's head, which made her pass out.

"Is she all right?" Sabrina asked after getting the bookshelf to hold on in its position. She knelt down and tried to wake up Avegaille.

"The books that fell on her head must be the cause for her to faint out," Salem explained as he jumped off the couch and walked to Avegaille. "You should let her rest in the couch for a while."

"Well, I suppose Hilda and Zelda should be the ones to take care of what can Avegaille do in this house," Sabrina said as she sighed.

Nicole says: …………….

Avegaille says: Gee, what's up with the dots? oO;

Nicole says: I'm going to study in Greendale Middle School for the rest of my middle school life…

Avegaille says: Isn't that a good thing, since we're going to be studying at the same school?

Nicole says: Yeah, it is, but my Mom is also going to be one of our teachers for Witchcraft classes…

Avegaille looked at her laptop skeptically as she noticed that Nicole mentioned something about having witchcraft classes in Greendale Middle School. Not only that, but Nicole's mother was going to be one of their teachers. But if that was the case, Avegaille also knew that there would be other witches and warlocks studying at Greendale Middle School besides from the people she met recently.

It was lunch time that day she was having an online conversation with Nicole. She recovered from her passing out a few minutes ago, and now with Sabrina off somewhere, Avegaille can have a private time in her laptop. She was still at the living room, with everything back in order.

Avegaille says: Where are you anyways?

Nicole says: I'm with Sabrina right now… She feels that I should spend more time with her… We're at the mall, actually… eating lunch together…

Avegaille says: oO;;; Again with the dots?

Avegaille says: Did you tell Sabrina that you're also going to study in Greendale Middle School?

Nicole says: Yeah, I'm about to, just as soon as Sabrina gets done talking with Harvey…

Then, Avegaille heard Zelda calling her from the kitchen. Avegaille knew it was really time for lunch. She carried her laptop along with her as she went inside the kitchen. Hilda and Zelda were waiting for her as Avegaille sat down.

"Do you know where Sabrina is right now?" Zelda asked to Avegaille. "She's late for lunch, you know."

"Um, Nicole told me that Sabrina is with her at the mall right now," Avegaille replied out. She looked at her laptop as she noticed Nicole was looking for her.

Nicole says: Hey, Avegaille, you there?

Nicole says: Hello?

Avegaille says: I'm here, don't worry, and btw, tell Sabrina that Aunt Zelda is looking for her. Gtg, lunch time here too! ;;;

Avegaille is now set to Out to Lunch

Nicole says: All right, we'll talk later…

"Chatting with someone special?" Hilda asked as she looked at Avegaille.

"It's just Nicole, no worries," Avegaille replied. " That's why I also found out that she's with Sabrina at the mall…"

"You two seem so close, you know," Zelda remarked. "Anyways, let's eat before our lunch gets spoiled…"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"Sabrina, don't you think you're going a little bit overboard?" Nicole asked nervously as she looked at Sabrina. She just sighed, knowing that Sabrina didn't hear her at all.

Sabrina and Nicole were currently at the arcade. And Sabrina also invited Harvey to join them, so now, Sabrina and Harvey were playing some games while Nicole was watching them. Nicole wanted to get out of the arcade as soon as got inside but she didn't want to disappoint Sabrina.

"Um, Sabrina, I'll be right back, okay?" Nicole called out as she quickly rushed out of the arcade.

"Huh?" Sabrina turned around and noticed that Nicole was no longer behind her. "Okay then…"

"Come on Sabrina, let's do some racing!" Harvey exclaimed out from a distance away.

"Sure, I'll be there!" Sabrina called out in return. Then, she turned back to the screen. "Just as soon as I figure out where Nicole went off to again…"

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Avegaille status is currently set to Away.

Nicole says: Avegaille, I need you here right now! TT

Avegaille is now set to Online.

Avegaille says: What's wrong with you? oO;

Nicole says: Do me a favor and come here to the mall. I'll meet you at the bookstore.

Avegaille says: Err… Okay then…

Avegaille sighed as she closed her laptop. Then, Salem came into her room as he jumped on the desk to get Avegaille's attention. He gave Avegaille a puzzled look, wondering what's up with her.

"Is it okay if you came with me to the mall?" Avegaille asked out to Salem.

"Seeing that you're still new here and well, you don't know much of the way around, I suppose so," Salem replied out. "And I find that Sabrina is having problems of her own. Maybe we should also see her."

"Problems? What do you mean?" Avegaille asked curiously.
