The next week, we were in art class. AKA the only class I get anything lower than a 'A' in, unless you count my creativity in my drawings, then I get a 'A-'. I usually get a 'C+' at most for my drawings. That's why I more of a writer than a artist.

"Remember class, these are action paintings. I want to feel active movement. Forced, dynamic energy. Very nice, Sabrina." Mr. Layer praised. "Thanks Mr. Layer." Sabrina said. Yes, this is one of the few classes where Sabrina is better than me, sort of.

"Ooh, a kangaroo. What are you, Smellman? Four years old?" Gem asked sarcastically. "Funny, I thought that's your IQ, Gem." I whispered to her. "Don't be silly, Aaron darling." Gem said while I mentally vomit from the recent encounter with Scheherazade.

"Check out my creation. And see how the big kids paint." Gem told us as we saw her painting. It was a velociraptor that looked vicious. "Seems like a school yard bully." I commented as Gem walked away. Sabrina looked left and right to make sure that no one was around.

"Ahh!" Sabrina said as she ran to her painting and use magic to bring her kangaroo to life, having it beat up Gem's painting. "Sabrina, that's not how you do things." I told Sabrina, who looked down at her shoes. "Not without this." I said with a smirk as I use magic to 'enhance' Gem's painting by adding another life.

"Aaron, where did this mean streak came from?" Sabrina asked with a smirk. "Just be thankful that you're not the one getting that treatment." I said as the kangaroo came back to Sabrina's painting, just as Gem came back to it with Mr. Layer.

"I don't know Gem. This painting doesn't seem to be very active to me. Also, do you have any self-esteem issues you want to talk to someone about?" Mr. Layer asked Gem. "What?! No!" Gem said before seeing the painting. It showed the velociraptor knocked out, with her next to it. Gem groaned in despair while Sabrina and I high fived at that.

"How's it going, Harv?" Mr. Layer asked. Yes, even teachers called Harvey by that. "Hey, now that's really good." Mr. Layer said. "It just a dumb character I doodled sometimes." Harvey said modesty. "Really, Harv? Because that looks like it could be a great comic book character." I told him, coming up next to him.

"Really Aaron?" Harvey asked. "Yeah, so what's his name?" I asked. "Captain Harvtastic. I've been writing some stories too." Harvey said as he pulled out two comic books he made from his pant pockets. He hand one to Mr. Layer and the other to me.

"You drew this whole comic book?" Mr. Layer asked as Harvey nodded. "Harv, this is good. Much better than the dark and edgy stuff Marvel and DC have these days." I told Harvey. "Really, you think so?" Harvey asked. "I know so." I said with a thumbs up.

"Harv, you are one mysterious dude! I didn't know you were such a good comic book artist." Sabrina praised Harvey. "Neither did I." Mr. Layer said as he turned the page. "Yeah, but I don't draw hands well. My coloring's sloppy. And the lettering..." Harvey began in self doubt.

"Nonsense! This is wonderful work. You know I still read comic books." Mr Layer said. "You do?" Harvey asked. "Mm hmm. As a matter of fact, there a comic book convention this weekend at the Civic Center. With a very special guest." Mr. Layer said, giving a brochure to Harvey.

"King Kirby?! He's my all time favorite comic book artist. He's created Sargeant Asphalt, Jerry Smasher, Corn Act The Hunted, The Incredible Earth Force!" Harvey said with Mr. Layer at the end of the end. "What about Stan Lee?" I asked. "He's my second favorite comic book artist." Harvey said.

"King Kirby sponsored a training program for young comic book artists. I think that program would be the perfect way for you to nurtured that talent of yours." Mr. Layer said, giving Harvey back the comic. "Me, take lessons from King Kirby? Sweet!" Harvey said.

"All you have to do is show King Kirby your comic book drawings." Mr. Layer said. "Show him? Like in front of people?" Harvey asked, suddenly terrified of the idea. "Well of course. Mr. Kirby will be evaluating portfolios at the convention. It's your audition to get into the program." Mr. Layer said.

"But what if he hates it?" Harvey asked. "What if he loves it?" Mr. Layer answered the question with another. "Harv, no one is going to hate this comic." I told him. "Thanks Aaron. You're the best." Harvey said.


Meanwhile with Mary and Jake

"Captain Harvtastic? More like Captain Suck-tacular!" Mary said while laughing as she watch from the crystal ball Jake brought with them. "And this is why I shouldn't bring a crystal ball with us on our vacation." Jake said with a facepalm. "Good morning!" A certain person who is everyone's uncle and grandpa said. "Oh god, he's back Jake! AHHHHH!" Mary screamed as she ran away.


Back to our regularly scheduled narrator

"Yeah, well, thanks Mr. Layer, Aaron, but showing my stuff to the world's greatest comic book artist will take a whole lot of courage, that I'm afraid I don't have. Sorry." Harvey said, doubting himself more. "Drats. Harv, wait! You just went through this character arc like two chapters ago!" I said, chasing after him.

Later that night, I was on top of my roof, looking at the night sky with my iPod, listening to music. I gotten a 'A' for my painting, which was Xena's final battle so hooray to me getting a better maximum grade at least.

"There's the Big Dipper. And there's the North Star, which Aphrodite tried to take. I wonder if Xena was given a constellation for her sacrifice." I said, talking to the Gem on my chest, the Emerald. AKA, my uncle Emerald. Call me insane, but I believe that Emerald is still alive, especially since the Fabio incident, and I decide to talk to his, my Gem as if I was talking to him, hoping that we might be having a actual talk.

"You know Uncle Emerald, since we're talking right now, maybe we can talk about Harvey's issues today. See, he's a really talented comic book artist and writer, yet he believes the fact he sucks. Just like his dancing. Anyways, what advice would you give if you were here?" I asked the Gem that was glowing a bit.

Before I got the answer from the Gem, my iPod vibrated. I grabbed it and saw a text from Harvey. He wanted me to come over to Sabreeny's place to watch America's Cruelest Practical Pranks. I texted back that I will be there shortly and jumped off the roof, landing on my feet as I took the shortcut there.

It took me about ten minutes to get there, but it was worth it, especially since I saw Sabrina and Salem in her backyard, about to fish for the stars. Time for some jokes, quips, puns. "It's Fishing For The Stars, starring Sabrina Spellman and Salem Saberhagen!" I said, having my iPod recording Sabrina's failure to catch a star before she and Salem turned to look at me.

"Kiddo, why are you here?" Salem asked. I held up my iPod. "Harv texted me. Also Sabreeny, that is not how you catch a star." I told her. "Then how do you catch a star?" She asked me. "Easy, by going to the moon!" I exclaimed with a smirk before using the Warp Whistle to warp there.

Once on the moon, I pulled out a fishing pole from my Gem. "Thank you, Uncle Emerald." I said before trying to fish for a wishing star. After twenty suns, three planets and a certain Devil,(Madi realized that I caught her on my fishing hook and threw her back out into space. Lesson learned after getting the Charles Dickens beaten out of me.) I finally caught the blue wishing star.


?'s Perspective

?: Uh... welcome to Wendy's, Applebee's, Burger King's, and Pizza hut. How can I take your order? *Gets thrown back into space by Aaron* JEFFREY KATZENBERG, YOU PETTY ASSHOLE!


Back to our normal narrator

"Success!" I cried out in joy as I warped back to Earth, mainly Sabrina's backyard. "Here ya go." I said, tossing her the wishing star. "Thanks. Can you distract Harvey long enough for the wishing star to lit the candle on a cupcake? Since he doesn't know about magic?" Sabrina asked.

If she and Salem was paying attention, they would had noticed the way I was twiddling with my fingers, they might had known that Harvey does know about magic. My magic, thanks to that game of Truth or Dare two years back.

"Sure, I guess." I said. "Great. Thanks, you're the best." Sabrina said as she hugged me. "Uh, Sabreeny. This is kind of awkward." I told her. "Oh, sorry." Sabrina said as she stopped hugging me. I then walked to the front door, where Harvey was waiting at.

"Hey Harv." I greeted as I opened the door. "Wow, you got here before me? How?" Harvey asked. "Easy, took a shortcut." I told him as I let him in. "You have got to show me it sometimes." Harvey told me. "Sure, if I remember." I told him as we sat down on the sofa, waiting for Sabrina. "What do you mean? I thought you remember everything?" Harvey asked. "Sometimes I forget stuff due to other things happening around us, so remind me to tell you about that shortcut." I said.

Soon, we were sitting on the sofa. "Maybe I should show King Kirby my comic. Nah, who am I kidding? My comic book is a joke. If anyone saw this, they'll just laugh at my face." Harvey said, looking at the comic.

"Look, Harv. I think you should show your work to King Kirby." I said. "But what if he hates it?" Harvey asked. "You won't know if you listen to your self-doubt." I said. "But what if..." Harvey began.

"Look Harv. Stop focusing on the what-ifs and just focus on the whole maybe he might like your comic. I mean Stan Lee had a much harder time with comics and when he drew them, people said that they were for kids, not adults." I said. "But I'm not Stan Lee." Harvey said. "I know, just using him as a example." I said.

"Plus, I saw your comic and I didn't laugh at your face. Heck, Sabreeny and Mr. Layer saw your comic and they didn't laugh at your face either!" I reminded Harvey. "That's different. I'm friends with you and Sabrina, you guys were just saying that to cheer me up. And Mr. Layer is a teacher, he was just boosting my self-confidence. Thanks for trying to cheer me up." Harvey said while looking at the floor.

Soon Sabrina gave Harvey the cupcake, with the candle lit by the wishing star. "What this? My birthday was last month." Harvey said. "It's your um, 30 day birthday booster." Sabrina said at the same time I said, "It's to celebrate our friendship."

Sabrina and I looked at each other before Sabrina said "Like Aaron said. Celebrating our friendship. Make a wish." She said. "What should I wish for?" Harvey asked. "Isn't that a question we asked everyday?" I asked rhetorically. "You ask yourself that everyday, Aaron?" Harvey asked me. "It was a rhetorical question. And before you asked what it means, it means a question that I answer myself." I told Harvey.

"Hm, what to wish for? Okay, for example, and I just making this up, what if someone had show something to a famous person, but something was getting in the way. It's possible, if someone wish really hard enough, it can actually happen. Know what I mean?" Sabrina asked. "Way to be subtle." I whispered her. "I'm trying." She shot back without Harvey hearing.

"Uh, I guess." Harvey said. "Great! Just make a wish. And keep it small." Sabrina told Harvey. "He would if you stop peer pressuring him. Then again, that's school life for us." I commented. "Wow, you just accurately describe middle school in a nutshell. Scratch that, you describe our lives these days in a nutshell. How did you do that?" Harvey asked me in wonder. "I just have ways with words." I said simply while waving my hand like I was doing a Jedi mind trick.

"What were you trying to do?" Harvey and Sabrina asked me while Salem was dumbfounded. "Trying to use the Jedi mind trick. We can cross that off the list of skills I might have." I said as I pulled out said list and crossed out said item.

"Don't worry Aaron. At least you have ma..." Harvey began. "Persuasive skills! I have ways with persuasion and writing!" I said nervously while Salem and Sabrina were looking at us suspiciously before shrugging.

"Why don't we get back to you making that small wish?" I told Harvey while chuckling nervously and twiddling my thumbs around, like I do when my computer is slow. "Oh yeah. Small wish, gotcha. Okay, here goes." Harvey said as he blew out the candles. Sabrina started clapping until everything was shaking.

"Harv, please tell me you didn't call for Fabio? At least wish for Salmoneus." I pleaded, thinking that the Lord of the Dunces, I mean Dance, was back to get payback. "No." Harvey said. "Thank Xena who is watching over us!" I said in relief before stopping. "Wait, why didn't you wish for Salmoneus?" I asked sadly. "Then what did you wish for, Harvey?" Sabrina asked as she noticed that we were becoming two-dimensional.

Suddenly a tornado came from Harvey's comic book. "Harvey, what did you wish for?!" Sabrina asked. "It should be obvious by now, Sabreeny." I said as we were getting suck in. "Must hold on. Can't hold on." Salem said as he struggled to hold on to the table. "This is why you don't skip exercise." I said as we loss our grips on the table.

"Harvey, what did you wish for?" Sabrina asked for the third time. I think she became a broken record. We all were sucked into the tornado. "Xena, if you're listening, please watch over us wherever we go!" I exclaimed before screaming like a girl as we were sucked into the comic book.


Ghost Xena's Perspective

A ghost appeared out of nowhere. "Hmmm, who called my name? Do they realize the power they have in just saying names alone?" Ghost Xena said while looking around, seeing no one in sight. "Guess it was just a fluke. Wonder how Gabrielle is doing." *Prepares to leave.* "Force Ghost Xena... Adventure Ho!" Xena said as she left through the roof, not knowing the person who called her was in a comic book she briefly glanced at.


Back to the comedic foreshadowing

The colors, oh Xena the colors! What did I do to deserve this?! AHHHHHH! Soon we were in front of a building that said 'Mall of Justice' all in caps. Wait, that was in Harvey's comic and we're in front of it... Oh no, why?!

"This is what you call a small wish?!" Sabrina asked Harvey. "You didn't tell him how small it was supposed to be." I told her snarkily as a hovercar flew by us while superheroes were talking on phones and using ATMs. Like normal people!

"Whoa, how did we get here?" Harvey asked. "Funny story. See, you were going into the kitchen when you trip over the..." Sabrina began. "Whee, I can fly." Harvey interrupted as he flew. "And then, oh never mind." Sabrina finished. "Show off." I said while rolling my eyes.

Yeah, despite the fact I'm part Saiyan(mainly a quarter but who keeping track?), I can't fly, never learned how to. Then again, if I started flying, then that would cause people to think it was magic, resulting in me actually using magic and that would be a disaster.

"Look at me! It like we're in my imagination! Whoo hoo!" Harvey exclaimed as he flew by a sign that said 'Have A Harvey Day!' Guess that takes care of Harvey's ego issue. "Big ups and the special effects. Now kindly get us out of here!" Salem shouted at Sabrina and me. "Jeez, can you get any louder?" I asked, rubbing my ears.

"Chill out Salem. I haven't seen Harvey this happy in weeks. We'll let everything happened the way it does in this comic book. And then we can all go home." Sabrina said. "And do you know how to do that?" I asked Sabrina with a skeptical look and a raised eyebrow. "Um, no." Sabrina admitted while I facepalmed.

"Sabrina, Aaron, what do you think of my city?" Harvey asked us. "Harv Bucks Coffee, Harvo Shack, Planet Harveywood. This is your kind of town." Sabrina told Harvey. "I guess you don't need help with your self-confidence issues, eh Harv?" I asked. "Would you like to see a sense stunning demonstration of my super powers?" Harvey asked us.

"Knock yourself out." Sabrina said. "This is my Harvbionic plasma inker. Don't blink." Harvey said as he pulled out a blue plasma gun and flew up, using it to make a city in the clouds or something. "Wow. Say, I was just wondering, Capt, who am I supposed to be?" Sabrina asked. "Tentacle Lady? Squid Girl? I'm here all week, folks." I said as I bowed to a imaginary crowd, while Sabrina shot daggers at me.

"You are Calamari Queen! Go ahead, unleash your superpowers." Harvey said, while I look at my outfit. Harvey must had known my love for the Xenaverse or something because I was wearing Hercules' Celtic outfit from season five. Meanwhile, Sabrina shot a squid from her hand at a wall. It then put on a hat and pulled out a briefcase out of nowhere.

"Ten years of the actor's studio and I'm still playing squid. Sheesh!" The squid said as it left. "You all saw that too, right?! I mean, I'm not the only one who saw that squid talking?!" I asked Sabrina, Harvey and Salem in shock. "I was going to give you more radical powers in the next issue. Sorry, the whole squid thing seems like a good idea." Harvey said to Sabrina. "Is no one going to answer my question?!" I asked hysterically.

"Squids, also known as the phylum mollusca of the sub genus seppala pedia. Most delicious with marinara with a twist of lemon. Permit me to introduce myself. I am Perfecto, poocho power! And to answer your unanswered question, yes, we all saw that." Perfecto said.

"What the heck is going on anymore?!" I asked hysterically, only to get hit in the face by a squid shot out of Sabrina's hand. "Thanks Sabreeny." I deadpanned. "You're welcome." Sabrina said with a smirk as I pried the squid off my face.

"Come on Harv. Talking dogs, sheesh. Whenever writers get hard for ideas, they throw in a smart aleck talking animal. Pathetic." Salem said while crossing his arms. "So like you?" I said with a smirk, causing Salem's jaws to drop while Sabrina went "Ohhhhh!" "You did not just said that!" Salem hissed at me. "And so what if I did?" I asked snarkily. "Then we're at war, kid!" Salem said while glaring at me.

"Yeah, I guess it was dumb." Harvey said sadly. "Ignore the smart aleck cat, Harv." I told him. "Not as dumb as that hat." Perfecto said at the same time. "Hat? What he's talking about?" Salem asked as he walked to a window and saw his reflections. "Gah! When was someone going to mention the hat?" Salem asked while I laughed at him.

"Salem's right, isn't he? My ideas are stupid and my costumes are stupid. It's a good thing I didn't show all this garbage to King Kirby." Harvey said. "Stop doubting yourself, Harv." I said firmly. "But." Harvey said. "No, Harv. Stop doubting yourself." I said while crossing my arms. "Yeah, Harv. We think this comic book world is killer." Sabrina praised, while agreeing with me.

"But you hate your powers. You said..." Harvey said. "Harv, Sabreeny didn't say anything about her powers." I told him. "Also, hate my powers. Ha ha. Nothing says high adventure likes fresh squid." Sabrina said. "Don't think I forgotten that comment, kiddo." Salem said to me. "Hey, you're the one who said it first." I reminded him, before smelling a foul stench.

(Ugh, kill me for sounding like a stereotypical superhero. Not literally, Madi! Madi just now walked away, pouting about me saying things I don't mean. Just wait till I start training with Pearl.)

"Does anybody smell something gross?" Sabrina asked. "Like stinky feet." Salem pointed out while sniffing too. "Great, we're smelling shoes. What's next, garbage day?" I said sarcastically before a hovercraft that looked like a shoe started coming down on us. Luckily, Sabrina, Salem and Harvey move out of the way while I summoned a bubble shield, causing it to bounce off it and land sideways next to me.

"The heck was that?!" I asked, shock of what just happened. "Who dares interrupt my dramatic, yet simple evil entrance?! I wanted to step on someone's toes!" A voice called out from the shoe-craft(trademark by me) as a person in light green spandex suit with two shoes on his head came out, rubbing his head.

"Oh my gosh, it's him!" I said while covering my mouth. "Quick and fear, heroes! For I am..." He began to say. "We know who you are, Shoehorn. Once a genius shoe designer, his mind and body were mutated when he fell into a vat of radioactive shoe polish." Harvey explained. "Enough clumsy backstory. I think you'll get a kick out of my latest creation: a comfy new pair of crush puppies. One size eats all!" Shoehorn said.

"Aww. But I want to know more about your backstory. Maybe even know why you want to kill us with shoes." I said, fake pouting. "Cee-ripes!" Salem exclaimed as he and Sabrina ran. "Salem." Sabrina said while they ran away from a crush puppy and I facepalmed. "Time for some weapons from my Gem." I said as I pulled out a sword and shield from my Gem as two dog shoes surround me.

Meanwhile, the rest surround Harvey. As Harvey managed to get them to tie themselves up, I was going for the offense and defense, poking them with the sword and blocking their bites with the shield. After a couple of minutes, the shoes looked a bit torn up. "Way to go, Cap and Aaron." Sabrina said as a crush puppy came behind her.

"Sabreeny, I mean, Calamari Queen, behind you!" I said while pointing behind Sabrina before being tackled from behind by another crush puppy. "That's it, you're getting put down, pooch!" I said while glaring at the crush puppy, scaring it before chopping it into tiny pieces with my sword. "Yikes, good thing you're on our side!" Salem said. "Try to keep it that way." I said.

"How about something dressy? Try playing footsie with my spikies!" Shoehorn exclaimed as he shot high heels. "Really, you're going for rhymes? You suck!" I said as I blocked a couple with my shield.

"Try this on for size!" I said, jumping forward and punching Shoehorn in the jaws, causing him to fall down to the ground. "Great job, Wonder Boy!" Harvey said while I internally groan at Disney Hercules' nickname. It made more sense when Meg called him that, even if that's my superhero name in this comic.

"Thanks Captain Harvtastic." I said instead."We can't handle this shoe nut alone." Sabrina said. "You're not alone. We're here!" Gem said from the rooftops. "AHHHH! IT'S GEM!" I screamed. "I am Mega Girl!" 'Mega Girl' said, ignoring me screaming. "And her faithful sidekick, Gazebo Boy! Cyah!" Gazebo Boy, who looks like Pi said as he came from behind a tower.

"What are Gem and Pi doing here?" Salem asked. "She controlled Pi and now going to control everyone to like her! AHHHH!" I screamed in sheer terror. "No, Aaron. If that happened, you would be the only one immune. Also, I guess Harvey patterned his characters off people he knows." Sabrina said. "Oh sweet relief." I said.

"The Do-gooder Duo! It's about time you guys show up." Harvey said. "Wait, Gem is a do-gooder? Ha!" I said before getting elbowed by Sabrina. "Ow." I groaned in pain while giving her a sharp look. She just look at me with a smirk. "Sleep with one eye open, Sabreeny." I warned.

"We would have been here earlier if someone had remember to draw a door on our secret headquarters." Mega Girl whined. "Wow, she even sounds like Gem." I commented. "Agree." Salem said while nodding. "Oh sorry. I'll get that fixed. Promise." Harvey said. "Could've run a lot faster too if you hadn't drawn my feet so small." Gazebo Boy complained. "He can't draw hands either. What kind of artist are you, anyways?" Gem said.(Yes, I'm calling her Gem still, just cause... 3!)

"Hey, there are some artist that draw hands with three fingers and a thumb, so shut up!" I told Gem and Gazebo Boy, who were shocked that I called them out. "And you know what? Not always are doors drawn in, nor are feet drawn perfectly. It seems like to me that you two just took your sweet time getting here." I told them.

"Wow. Thanks Aaron." Harvey said. "You're welcome Harv." I said. "Well, he didn't gave us better outfits." Gem whined. "...Are you for real?" I deadpanned. "Man, Harvey's superheroes sure are crabby." Sabrina whispered to Salem. "Maybe their tights are chafing." Salem replied.

"Excuse me. Evil supergenius wants some attention here." Shoehorn said, back in his shoecraft with it on. "Dude. Shut up." I said, with Harvey fistbumping me. "You have great ways with words." Harvey said.

"It comes naturally to me. Just like these guys will stop complaining about you." I said dramatically, waving my right hand trying to do the Jedi mind trick. "That doesn't work." Gazebo Boy said after a moment. "Drats. You ruined my moment." I said while crossing my arms.

"Thank you. Prepare to die, heroes!" Shoehorn said. "Dude, you suck at killing us!" I said through a random megaphone I pulled out from nowhere.(Comic book logic, duh!) "As if, Shoe head!" Gem added. "Really, that's the best you can come up with for a comeback. You're not trying." I said with black dots for eyes.

"Shoehorn. See my horns, they're shoes." Shoehorn said, correcting Gem. "Tch, whatever. It's all a dumb name. Atomic Tantrum Powers, Activate!" Gem said before screaming, making a supersonic scream that hit the hovercraft and destroy it. "There goes everyone hearing." I muttered while covering my ears as Shoehorn fell down.

"Gazebo Boy will finish the job! Gazebo Powers, now!" Gazebo Boy said as he turned into a gazebo, trapping Shoehorn...mostly. "You do know that he can just walk out of you?" I asked, pointing to the visible part where he can just walk right out. "He turns into a gazebo. Wow, that's different." Salem noted.

"In a good way or a bad way?" I asked Salem, who looked away. "Oh look, he even got a little bench in there." Sabrina said, changing the subject. "Sabreeny, don't change the subject." I protested. "But you can't deny it, though." Sabrina said. "Touche." I said, being amazed at the bench.

"Your paltry gazebo talent is no match for mine rock Martins!" Shoehorn exclaimed as he launched said object at Gazebo Boy, turning him back to normal and crushing him. "Oooh, that's gotta hurt." I said. "Thanks for the cruddy superpowers, Harv." Gazebo Boy complained.

"I'm sorry. It was the best I could think of. I mean, everyone like gazebos, don't they?" Harvey asked us. "Harvey, it's not you or your creativity. It's your characters that needs to stop complaining." I told Harvey while patting him on the back.

"You think you got problems, Gazebo Boy?! Try getting people to take you seriously with a couple of loafers sticking out of your head." Shoehorn complained too. "Why are we doing this plot?" I asked while facepalming.

"Puh-lease. What about my stupid tantrum powers? That's about as cool as the ability to spit in rainbow colors." Gem complained. "Hey, people would kill to have that power! Also, your tantrum powers suit you." I said as Sabrina and Salem said "Ooooh!".

"And look how poorly I'm drawn. My jaws's impossibly square. It look like the rear end of a micro bus." Shoehorn complained. "Dude, it a comic book. Of course your jaws will be impossibly square." I deadpanned.

"It's all Harvey's fault. He created a second rate comic book world with bargain basement superheroes." Gazebo Boy said, while Harvey looked sad. "I'm tired of fighting you two. Anyone up for pizza?" Shoehorn asked. "Anything better than hanging out with Captain Dorktastic." Gem said as they left.

"Wait, so you're complaining about yourselves? Cause that's hilarious!" I said as the three realized what I just said. "Plus 'Mega Girl', you lucked out. The real you would have try to go for Harv!" I taunted as the three ran with their metaphorical tails between their legs.

"Guys, wait. You can't eat pizza with a villain! We're suppose to capture him and find out who he's working for!" Harvey said. "You want to know who I'm working for? Your own worst enemy." Shoehorn said as they turned around.

"My own worst enemy? Captain Cootie? The Haberdasher of Evil? Detention Dan?" Harvey asked. "...Captain Cootie? Seriously Harv?" I asked. "Okay, I see the problem with that." Harvey admitted. "Those costume fools? Ha! Your true foe is the dreaded Dysfilia!" Shoehorn said. "Dreaded Dysfilia. Never heard of him." Harvey said.

"The Dysfilia is closer to you, Captain Harvtastic. Closer than you think." Gem said. "And if you lacked the courage to conquer the Dysfilia, it will destroy this world and everyone in it. Beware!" Gazebo Boy warned. "So this includes you three? Toodles." I said with a wave as the three left, being horrified that I reminded them of that.

"What's the dealio with that?" Sabrina asked. "Easy, Sabreeny. Gem had took over the world with complaints!" I exclaimed. "No, we don't even know. But that Dysfilia thing sounds like one bad mamma jamma." Salem said while chuckling. "Wait, your mother is known as Jamma?" I asked sarcastically. "Of course not! That's absurd!" Salem exclaimed while I chuckled this time.

"I can't believe it. My own superheroes turned on me. What kind of high grade loser am I?" Harvey asked. "Dude, stop doubting yourself." I told Harvey. "Harvey, I mean, Captain. You're not a loser. Now let's focus and figure out where this Dyfilia thing is." Sabrina said.

"Oh, let me guess. Can it be that disgustingly gross fungus wart erasing everything in its path?!" Salem asked. "Yep, that's it." I said while shrugging with my eyes closed. "...Wait, what the *Swore in Saiyanese* is that?!" I said once realizing what happening once opening my eyes.

"Someone tell me this is not happening!" Harvey pleaded. "Dude, can you not see this?! Of course it's happening!" I said, shaking Harvey. "Harvey, look, you created this Dysfilia, you can just destroy it. And then we can all go back home, see. There's no reason to panic." Sabrina said simply.

"Yeah, except you're forgetting one minor detail. Okay, major detail, Sabreeny." I said, dropping Harvey. "And what's that?" Sabrina asked. "It wasn't in my comic book!" Harvey said, stating the obvious. "Excuse me?" Sabrina asked. "You read the comic, Sabreeny. How did you miss that detail?" I asked her in shock.

"I didn't make up that Dysfilia thing. I don't know how to destroy it." Harvey said. "So if you didn't make it, and you don't know how to destroy it, then how do we stop it?" I asked. "I don't think we can." Harvey said sadly. "But if that monster erases the comic book word..." Sabrina began. "We'll get erased too." Salem finished.

"AHHHHH! MASS HYSTERIA! DOOMSDAY! THE RECKONING! THE TERMINATORS ARE HERE TO KILL US! WE'RE DOOOMED! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" I screamed while panicking. "Wow, Aaron taking it well than I expected. Kinda like you and Child's Play, Sabrina." Salem noted while chuckling, while Sabrina and Harvey gave him a unamused look. At least, before the three of them start to scream in fear too.

"Okay, I'm calm and rational again. Just needed to get that out of my system." I said with a smile, only to fall short when seeing the others screaming. "HEY!" I said, getting their attention. "Thank the gods and Xena for my voice." I muttered under my breath before clearing my throat.

"Look, we can stop this thing if we put our skills together at your secret headquarters." I told them. "Like your ma..." Harvey was about to ask. "Gem abilities, thanks for saying that Harv. And that's all we're saying, right?" I asked as I pushed Harvey in front of me as we walked away.


Sabrina and Salem's Perspective

"Okay, that's the second time today that Harvey was about to say magic, only for Aaron to interrupt him. Why would Harv say that, though?" Sabrina asked Salem. "Maybe because Aaron told him, maybe because Harvey been reading too much fantasy books." Salem said with a shrug.

"But if he did told Harvey, why didn't he tell me that?" Sabrina asked. "Maybe as payback for all those times he gotten injured by your plans. I don't know how Aaron works, Sabrina. Just ask him yourself." Salem said. "But what if he didn't admit?" Sabrina asked. "You won't know till you try." Salem told Sabrina. "You're right." Sabrina said with a sigh. "I'll ask him after this." She added as they walked to the secret headquarters.


We return to the ironic foreshadowing(Me!)

"What is this place?" Sabrina asked. "Sabreeny, it clearly a secret hideout or headquarters." I said. "My Citadel of Comictude. A place for a weary superhero to hide from the world." Harvey said without any emotions. "Dude, that sound depressing and not like you." I pointed out. "Well, we can't sit here and let the Dysfilia devour everything!" Sabrina said, trying to motivate Harvey.

We saw on monitors the destruction this thing is bringing. "Strange, it kind of seems like this thing is getting stronger the more Harv doubts himself." I noted before hearing Perfecto whining under the table. "Hey Salem, now your chance." I said, pointing at the table. He gave me a nod before walking to it while I check out the Dysfilia a bit closer.

"Boo." Salem said as he lifted the tablecloth. "Aah! Ow! Oof!" Perfecto said as he bumped his head on the table. "You wanna stop cowering and help us think?" Salem asked Perfecto. "I wasn't cowering. I was mediating." Perfecto defended. "Yeah, sure." I said with a eye roll before a alarm started going off.

"It's the Harv Alert! The Dysfilia is heading this way! Harvey, this is your world. We have to fight for it!" Sabrina said. "Why bother? Mega Girl, Gazebo Boy and Shoehorn was right. I'm a gigantic failure." Harvey said. "Dude, stop it." I warned. "Who am I kidding? Pretending to be a artist. A superhero. I'm a joke. The Dysfilia can eat my entire comic book for all I care." Harvey continued his self-pity train. "Harvey, I'm warning you." I said.

"Ha ha. Oh yes." Perfecto said while laughing. "You find something funny in all this?" Sabrina asked Perfecto in a upset tone. "Oh, I was just musing to myself. It isn't often you hear the word 'Dysfilia' bandied around in a comic book of all things. Ha ha ha. It defines as the inability to like oneself." Perfecto explained.

"Uh huh. Thanks for the English lesson. I think they're waiting for you back at Conjunction Junction." Salem said. "Wait a minute, Harvey. That's it!" Sabrina exclaimed. "What's it?" Harvey asked. "Don't you see? Everytime you think something bad about yourself, the Dysfilia gets bigger. It's feeding off your negative self-esteem." Sabrina explained.

"I'm the one making the monster grow? Oh that's perfect! Now I really give up." Harvey said before getting slapped in the face by me in anger while Sabrina, Salem and even Perfecto were shocked about what just happened.

(Yes, I did the Bat Slap on Harvey, the same one that people like when Batman did it to Robin. Can we move on now, please? [LOLs])

"You're not giving up, Harv! Don't you dare give up!" I yelled at Harvey. "What do you want me to do?! It's not like I can do anything useful." Harvey said. "And I refuse to die wearing this hat." Salem added. "Then take it off if you don't like it!" I exclaimed at Salem, scaring him before facing Harvey again.

"And you're not acting like the Harvey I know! The Harvey I know don't care what others think of him, his outfit choices, or even his hobbies! So why do you care about what others might think about your comic book?! It's all depend on what you think, for Christ sakes! Do you think Stan Lee gave up?!" I asked Harvey. "...Maybe." He said.

"No! Despite the time period when he started making comics, when everyone decided that comics were just for kids, yes, Stan Lee nearly gave up but he persisted and prove that comics were for all ages as well! And that's why Marvel is successful! And you could do the same if you stop listening to every negative emotions that you have and just focus on the positive results! So Captain Harvtastic, are you ready to save the day as usual?" I asked Harvey. offering my hand. "You know what? Yes, yes I will!" Harvey said as he took my hand and shook it.

"Good." I said as Harvey gingerly touched his cheek before wincing in pain. "Ow, did you have to slap me that hard?" Harvey asked. "It was the only way to slap some sense into you." I said, making a pun... which Salem was laughing at. "Salem, that's not funny and I'm usually the one who make the joke about being here all week with material like that." I said.

"Wow, glad that worked." Sabrina said. "Much better than what you planned?" I asked her. "Hey, it could've worked." She defended. "While hurting Harvey's feelings at first." I said. "How did you know?" Sabrina asked. "Read your mind." I said while rubbing my head a bit sheepishly.

"Wow, what a powerful friendship. I know I for one learned a valuable life lesson. Now let's go save the nice kitty cat from the big monster blobby thing!" Salem exclaimed. "You do know the world doesn't revolves around you, right?" I asked Salem. "Yeah, but can't blame me for having my priorities set straight." Salem said, only for me to facepalm him.

"Ow." Salem said while glaring at me. "What." I said innocently. At the same time, Harvey jumped to his supercomputer(in the comic world, of course. Smart alecks.) and started typing on it. "Blobby, blobby. That's it! Remember that old movie 'The Blob'? They used carbon dioxide from fire extinguishers to freeze the monsters." Harvey said.

"Yeah, but that a awfully big blob." Sabrina said. "Sabreeny, don't doubt Harvey." I told her. "And I have an awfully big superpower." Harvey reminded Sabrina as he pulled out a notepad. He soon drew in it, sketching a robot. "Come on, I have a plan!" Harvey said as we followed him.

"Here goes nothing!" Harvey said once we were near the Dysfilia. He injected the robot with the plasma ink, which it shot at the Dysfilia, freezing it. "Hurry before it melts!" Sabrina exclaimed. "Sabreeny, the only way it's going to melt is by some idiot using a flamethrower on it. That's how the sequel was made." I said.

"And now I'll use my Harvbionic inker to make to ultimate weapon! See, I can draw hands! Oh no, I'm out of ink!" Harvey said. "Sabreeny, that's your cue." I nudged her as the ice started to crack.

"Out of ink? Ink, squid making." Sabrina said before shooting a squid to the plasma inker gun, making more ink. "Mountain Dew it, Harv!" I exclaimed with a smirk. "Not the meme!" Salem said in despair. "Success!" I said as Harvey finished drawing the hand, allowing it to grab the Dysfilia and flicked it into space before blowing up.

"You did it!" Sabrina praised Harvey. "We did it." Harvey corrected her. "Ahem. I did it. Without my brilliant insight and wisdom, you all would be trapped inside this comic book, forever. I don't hear a thank you." Perfecto said, cupping a hand to his left ear. "Said the dog that was cowering under a table." I remarked.

"You know what, poochy? I have been listening to your big mouth since we got here and I got only one thing to say to you." Salem said, cornering Perfecto to a fire hydrant. "And that would be?" Perfecto asked.

"I couldn't help noticing you need that dorky little radio to talk." Salem noted before taking it off Perfecto's collar and destroying it. Perfecto was then captured by a dog catcher and was taken away to a dog pound. "That's cruel and unusual punishment." I said as Salem waved goodbye to Perfecto and said it.

We were sucked back into the green tornado soon. "The spell is wearing off. We're going home!" Sabrina said as we were brought back to the real world. AHHHH, THE COLORS AGAIN! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE COLORS!(I just realize you can't see the colors... good for you.) We landed back in Sabrina's living room, though I face planted next to Salem. "Ow." I groaned on the floor.

"Sabrina, Aaron. What just happened?" Harvey asked us. "Don't you remember? You were on your way to the comic book convention." Sabrina said. "I was?" Harvey asked. "Yeah, but you stop here so we can celebrate our friendship. But mainly to show your comic to King Kirby." I added.

"And we guess you were excited or something because you tripped and..." Sabrina trailed off. "You passed out and dreamed that you were in your comic book world." I said. "Oh yeah! Will you come with me?" Harvey asked us. "Sure, got nothing better to do." I told him. "I wouldn't missed it for the world." Sabrina added as we walked with Harvey.

We were in line with Harvey. "Isn't he cool? I wonder what he'll say about my work." Harvey said. "He'll like it, but I'm just waiting for that line where Stan Lee is to be down." I said. "How come?" Harvey asked me. I pulled out a comic book from my pocket and gave it to Harvey.

"The first issue of Spider-Man?" He asked. "Not just any first issue. The very first one Stan Lee made, not the ones that looked the same but been restored these days. I wanted to get it autographed by Stan Lee and thank him." I said. "For what?" Sabrina and Harvey asked me.

"Sometimes when I think of giving up on writing or being nice or just trying to be me, I always think of the trials Stan Lee went through making comics and showing people that it isn't just for children. Besides Hercules, Xena, and Stan Lee inspired me to persist through any issues because it will all be worth it one day." I told them. "Wow, that is impactful." Harvey said. "Yeah, which was why I kept telling you to stop doubting yourself, Harv." I said.

"Good luck." Sabrina and I told Harvey, before I noticed the fact that the line went down. "No Aaron, just wait till Harv is done." I told myself mentally. King Kirby was telling Harvey how he can fine tune some of the stuff in his comic, but he actually did a great job. Harvey gave Sabrina and me a thumbs up. "Score!" Sabrina and I exclaimed while jumping up as three people dressed in alien costumes walked passed us. Awkward.

Later I got that issue of Spider-Man signed by Stan Lee and thank him for being a source of inspiration in my life. He just told me the words he was famous for. "Excelsior" which is Latin for still higher, which he told me that's what he still going for, even after having a successful career of comic book artist and King of Camoes

And maybe that's my goal too when I choose a career. Oh, and Stan Lee saying Excelsior is my ringtone for when Harvey calls me now. And I have a picture of Stan Lee as my screen saver on my laptop so hooray!(With Stan Lee's permission of course, along with his famous word being my ringtone.)


(A/N: I will always like what Stan Lee did with the comic book industry and want to honor the efforts and stuff he went through to make it happen. So in the famous words of Stan Lee, Excelsior!)
