Three weeks ago-Flashback (Aaron's P.O.V.)

*Sighs* I need a break from Greendale right now. So far, I got these dark thoughts in my head, my relationship with my parents are sinking like the Titanic, Harvey's jealous of me for some reason, I almost became selfish just to be normal and Sabrina and I just ruined Pi's device. I just need to get away from all of this for a few weeks. But it's not like anything gonna show up.

Suddenly I got an email from the Pokemon website, reminding me about the Pokemon World Championships. *Gasp in excitement* Yes! And good thing I already completed my copies of Pokemon Black and White Versions, so I already built my perfect team. Vacation from Greendale, and, an added bonus, school, here I come! Gotta pack my bags and tell the others about this!


A couple of hours later-at the Greendale airport

"Well, I'll see you guys later." I said to Sabrina, Harvey, Chloe and Pi. "See you next week, Aaron." Harvey said as he gave me a fist-bump. "Send us pictures of everything." Chloe said. "I will." I promised. "Keep an eye out for the paranormal. If you encounter one, get some photographic evidence." Pi said. "*Laughs* I will, Pi." I said.

"Hope you enjoy this, Aaron. You need this. Especially after what's been happening." Sabrina said as she hugged me. "Thanks. And don't worry, I'll be safe. Yes, I knew you were going to say that. Your mind is like an open book." I told Sabrina.

"Last call for passengers boarding the American Airlines for Waikoloa Village!" A person said on the intercoms. "Well, that's your flight, Aaron." Sabrina said. "Yep." I said. "Call us when you land." Chloe said. "And tell us if something paranormal happens." Pi added. "Okay." I said as I started to make my way.

"Where is my precious Aaron?! He is not gonna leave without saying anything to me!" We all heard Gem shout. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Bye guys, see you when I get back!" I said as I ran towards the flight gate.


Sabrina's Perspective

"Let me guess, you tampered with his magic radar?" Chloe asked Sabrina. "Yep. Aaron needs a break. And he can't do that if he checks the thing for every spell my aunts and I make. So, he's gonna enjoy a magic-free vacation, being normal in Hawaii." Sabrina said as she, Chloe, Harvey and Pi ran out of the airport before Gem could see them and demand to know where Aaron is. Just as Aaron's plane left with him on it.


Three weeks later-Sabrina's perspective

"So, you won't be back for tomorrow?" Sabrina asked Aaron over the phone. "Yeah. All the flights returning back to the mainlands are booked for the next couple of days. Hopefully, I'll be back soon. See you when I get back? And wanna celebrate with some Hanna-Barbera cartoons?" Aaron asked. "Sure. See you soon." Sabrina said as she ended the call.

"So, Aaron's not gonna be back for a few more days?" Zelda asked. "*Sighs* No." Sabrina said sadly. "Don't be sad. This is Aaron we're talking about. He'll be fine." Hilda told Sabrina. "I know. And I know I should be glad that Aaron is getting the break he needs. But I miss him. Who else would watch Hanna-Barbera cartoons with me like he does?" Sabrina asked.

"Sabrina, maybe you could surprise Aaron with a welcome back home party. It'll take your mind off the fact that he's gone." Zelda said. "Really?" Sabrina asked. "Yes! And we'll help you plan it. We'll even force Salem to help out as well." Hilda added. "Thank you." Sabrina said with a small smile.

"What?! You want me to help out with a party that isn't even in my honor?!" Salem asked, walking into the room. "Yes. Unless you want Aaron to find out that you didn't help in welcoming him back home." Zelda warned.

"Oh yeah? What is he gonna do?" Salem scoffed. "Turn you into a mouse again." Zelda, Hilda and Sabrina said in unison. "*Gulp* You know, maybe I'll help welcome the kiddo back home after all. And you three don't need to pay me anything." Salem said nervously.

"Good. Salem, you go out and get the supplies from the NetherWorld. Sabrina, the three of us will go the new mega mall. You can bring Harvey with you. Salem will let us know when he got everything." Hilda said. "Okay." Sabrina said as the three went to go to the new mall.


Later, in front of the Greendale Mega Mall

"Welcome to opening day of the mega mall; the largest, fully enclosed, completely carpeted, temperature-controlled garden complex on the planet!" A male voice announced as everyone, including Sabrina, Hilda, Zelda and Harvey, went in the mall.

"This is gonna be so cool, Sabrina! Word is that the video arcade here is the only one that have Mystic Dragon Ninja Space Bats." Harvey said. "And the music store is supposed to be bigger than the entire state of Utah. Shame Aaron isn't here. He would love to look around." Sabrina added. "Yeah, but at least he's happy. And at least the two of us are hanging out together." Harvey said.

"Oh wow. We're on our way to shopping Heaven. I can't wait." Hilda said excitedly. "Now, I want us to stick to the plan. If you kids get lost-" Zelda began. "Kids? Aunt Zelda, I'm, like, two days from being thirteen." Sabrina said. She then must have sense Zelda's disbelief because she sighed.

"Okay, okay. So I'm eleven and a half months and two days away." Sabrina corrected herself before bumping into someone who stopped. Everyone soon gasped at what happened with the door. "What happened?" Zelda asked. They looked ahead to see a fat guy who butt can't fit through the door.

"We're wasting valuable shopping minutes here." Sabrina said as the guy still struggled to get inside. Sabrina then check if the coast was clear before she zap the guy, making him thin enough to go inside. Her magic also caused everyone in line to be sucked into the mall for a couple of seconds. Everyone soon landed on their feet, with Harvey landing behind the info board.

"Sabrina." Zelda warned. "Cool move." Hilda praised. "Hey, Sabrina. What just hap-?" Harvey asked, rubbing his head as Hilda dragged Zelda further into the mall. "Later, you two. Time for some power shopping. Zelda needs to put a little pizzazz into that old wardrobe if you know what I mean." Hilda called out.

"Sabrina. Back there at the turnstile, what happened?" Harvey asked. "Funny thing about that, um. Look, Harvey, video arcade!" Sabrina said, changing the and Harvey then ran towards the video arcade.

"And a big, pink balloon for a pretty little girl." A clown said in a goofy voice, holding the balloon out for Sabrina. "I'm practically a teenager and I'm tired of being treated like a little kid." Sabrina said irritated.

"*Sighs* Yeah, well, I'm forty-four and I'm really tired of dressing up like an idiot and making a fool of myself in public, okay? So just take the darn ballon, will you, kid?" The clown asked, breaking character as Sabrina took the balloon. Sabrina turned to a small child and handed her the balloon, making the child happy. Sabrina head inside the arcade.

"Sabrina! It's true! They've got it! Mystic Dragon Ninja Space Bats!" Harvey exclaimed happily. Sabrina and Harvey ran towards the game. A bunch of kids lined up behind them. A guy in costume soon came from behind the game with a plug.

"All right. The first playing of Mystic Dragon Ninja Space Bats." The guy said, as everyone started cheering. The guy plugged the game in, turning it on. A-maz-ing." Sabrina said. However, the game soon stop for some reason, much to the kids' disappointment. "Hmm." The guy said before kicking the game, turning it back on again, much to the kids' amusement again.

"Step up, kids. You're in." The guy said as he waved the kids forwards. Sabrina gasped in excitement before walking up to the game. "This is the bomb!" Sabrina said in awe. However, the guy stopped her from stepping into the machine.

"Sorry, kid. Lot of intense thrills here. I thought you were with an adult. You gotta have one with you to play this game." The guy told Sabrina, pointing to a glowing circle. "Place adult here." A computer voice said.

"No adult, no game." The guy said, shaking his head. Sabrina soon walked away in sadness. "Next!" The guy said. "Yee hah!" An old woman said excitedly as she ran towards the game.

"This is so not fair. They like two things adults have going for them that we don't." Sabrina complained. "Cars and cash. And no curfew. Well, I guess it's actually three things. But on the downside, they have really lame music. Hey! Want to check out the Monster Music store?" Harvey asked. "Good one. Maybe they have the new Funkhouse Ferret CD." Sabrina said as the two ran over to the music store.

"Harvey, look!" Sabrina told Harvey, pointing at a poster. "Cool! " Harvey said as they soon ran to the front counter. "Excuse me. Where can I find the new Funkhouse Ferrets CD?" Sabrina asked. The person at the counter dropped the thing he was holding. "Funkhouse Ferrets?" He asked with disgust. He pointed down a direction while holding his nose.

Sabrina and Harvey ran towards a booth that was country themed. "The new Funkhouse Ferrets CD?" Sabrina asked. "Can't rightly say, but let me tell you a little story." The person said. "It's not about a man named Brady, is it? Because I think I've heard that one." Sabrina said. The person played his guitar, only for one of the strings to break. Sabrina and Harvey stuck their tongues out.

Soon, Sabrina grab one of the CDs. "Gotcha!" Sabrina said. "Sabrina, look! The Disco Palindromes. I love their stuff." Harvey said. "Killer!" Sabrina said as Harvey put on some headphones. "I could dance backwards and forwards to this all day long." Harvey said as he started dancing.

Sabrina walked up to the front counter. "Bummer. Guess you didn't see the can't buy without parental consent sticker." A female employee said, showing Sabrina that sticker on the back of the CD. "But." Sabrina said. "Next." The female employee said as Sabrina left sadly. "I do not believe this." Sabrina said.

Sabrina and Harvey were outside a ticket booth. "I'm too young to buy a stupid CD on my own?! Like, how insulting is that?!" Sabrina complained to Harvey. "Yeah, that's pretty dumb. But hey, cheer up. Look what's playing." Harvey told Sabrina, pointing at a poster.

"Wow! I Know What You Screamed Last Summer 2! That's supposed to be, like, the best movie ever!" Sabrina said. "Yeah, and Aaron will be jealous that we watched it without him." Harvey said as he walked up to the booth.

"I Know What You Screamed Last Summer 2." Harvey said as the employee took Harvey's money and gave him a ticket for the movie. Harvey walked off as Sabrina walked up to the booth with money in hand.

"I Know What You Screamed Last Summer 2." Sabrina said. "Age?" The employee asked. "Twelve. But what does that have to do wi-?" Sabrina began to ask. "It's PG-13. You got to be at least 13 or have an adult with you. Pick another movie." The employee said.

Sabrina walked up to the movie listings. "PG-13. More Summer Screaming. Scream Till Your Head Hurts. Can't Stop Screaming. The Adventures of Wombat Wally?" Sabrina asked. "It's Wombat Wally or nothing, kid." The employee said.

"That rips it! I am so tired of being a kid! If I was an adult, I'd be free. I could do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted!" Sabrina shouted as she clenched her fist in rage.

Plus, you let Harvey watch the movie without asking his age! Heck, everyone my age can get away with playing games in the video arcade, or buying CDs or even watching PG-13 movies without an adult! Even Aaron gets to travel in an airplane without an adult! Why single me out?! Sabrina ranted in her thoughts as another thought came into her head, with her in a red background.

"Welcome to the wonderful world of adults, where whatever you want is exactly you get." A random voice told Sabrina, who was wearing a blue no-sleeved shirt with buttons, purple jeans, tow bracelets, and purple flat shoes. "I want wild clothes, exactly the kind that would make great-uncle Quigley and Aunt Zelda crazy. A lot of them." Sabrina said.

"You got it." The voice said as two guys appeared out of nowhere with a rack of wild clothing. "And an incredibly cool apartment." Sabrina said. "Of course." The voice said as the red background was replaced with an apartment. A tree grew right next to the pool.

"And a really hot car." Sabrina requested. "It's yours." The voice said as a blue, roofless sports car came out of nowhere. Sabrina went inside the car. "And now I want mountains of money and tons of CDs." Sabrina said.

"You're an adult. There's nothing you can't have." The voice said as the money and CDs fell in the back seat of the car. Sabrina started the car and drove off. "Yes, yes, yes!" Sabrina exclaimed happily.

"Uh, Sabrina?" Harvey asked, getting Sabrina out of her thoughts. "Maybe we ought to forget it. My cousin Jerome saw I Know What You Screamed Last Summer 2 and he said he threw up, like, seven , I don't mind seeing Wombat Wally. I can catch I Know What You Screamed Last Summer 2 another time." Harvey said.

"Go to a dopey kids movie like Wombat Wally? Thanks anyways, Harvey, but no thanks. You've been thirteen for a week, you have the right to enjoy the perks and maturity. I'll wait for you over here. On this bench, like some little kid loser." Sabrina said sadly as she headed for the bench.

"Sabrina, get a clue. You're, like, one of my best friends. I'm not gonna leave you out here to sit on some dumb bench. We're hitting the world's largest Mighty Slab Pizza Palace. With every ten toppings or more, you get extra free cheese." Harvey said to Sabrina as he led her to the pizza place.

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you. Hilda's waiting in the car. It's time to leave." Zelda told Sabrina. "Leave? But Harvey and I still have a zillion things we want to do here." Sabrina said. "Sorry, Sabrina. But I'm the one who's driving and now is when I need to leave. And remember the special surprise party for you know who?" Zelda asked Sabrina.

"Yes." Sabrina said with a sigh. "Now, when you're old enough to drive, then you can decide when it's time to leave." Zelda told Sabrina. "There's nothing about being a kid that's working for me." Sabrina muttered.


Later that evening, at the Spellman's house

"Being a kid is the worst! I never get to do what I want! I'm as smart as any adult! Heck, I'm as smart as Aaron, and he's apparently smarter than the adults around here! And he's the one who gets to go on a airplane without adult supervision! It's not fair!" Sabrina ranted.

"Lower the volume, little Mary Sunshine. I'm trying to concentrate here. 3-D, what a rush! Anything to get my mind off buying stuff for Aaron's welcome home party." Salem said, wearing 3-D glasses.

"If only I was an adult. Boy, would I show them how it's done." Sabrina said with a snap of her fingers. "I can't stand it! Grown-ups gets all the perks and I get all the rules! You know, I can't get why Aaron complains about the lack of rules! He should be glad that his parents gives him a lot of freedom!" Sabrina ranted.

"And if only I could get some peace and quiet around here, without the mention of Aaron! Perhaps I could get off the poop deck level of this game!" Salem snapped, taking off the 3-D glasses. Sabrina flopped backwards on her bed, angrily.

"Excuse me, Salem. I forgot that you were one of them. You're a warlock, you're ancient. Probably too old and creaky to remember what it's like to be young and want to have fun." Sabrina told Salem. "Ancient? Creaky?! I expected that from Aaron, but you?!" Salem asked.

"Man, if only I was an adult. If only I was the one running my life. If only I-" Sabrina began. "Tired of being a kid, huh? Doesn't have the brains to know when she has it made." Salem muttered to himself before turning to face Sabrina.

"You want to be an adult so bad? Fine. I can arrange that." Salem said, causing a smile on Sabrina's face. "Hmm, let's see. It's in here somewhere. Special one-time only offer. A spell guaranteed to fast forward you into the world of adulthood." Salem said as he toss Sabrina a red pouch with the spell in it.

Sabrina opened it to see a small medallion-like thing. "And get your grouching half-witch of a self out of my fur for a while." Salem muttered as he continued playing his game. Sabrina took the spell out of the thing.

"'Take this watch and you'll be grown out in the world and on your own. If back home you want to run, just set the hands at two and one. But after the hours past twenty-four, the chance to return will be no more.' This is it! My ticket out of here. Aloha to being a kid! Salem, thank you, thank you!" Sabrina exclaimed.

"You get the deal, right? Stay more than twenty-four hours and it's permanent. No refunds, no returns." Salem told Sabrina, holding the magic watch in his grip. "Fine, whatever. I don't care. I just want to be a grown-up now." Sabrina told Salem.

"What about Aaron?" Salem asked. "What about Aaron?" Sabrina repeated. "How is he gonna react to this bit of magic? You know, since he took that magic radar, alerting him to any magic you, Hilda and Zelda do." Salem said. "He won't know. I used magic on it so it won't detect our magic until he's back here." Sabrina said as the magic started its effect.

"I'm large and about to be in charge." Sabrina said, growing a few inches. "And where in the world of adult would Ms. Maturity like to go?" Salem asked. "Anywhere but here." Sabrina said. Salem soon zapped a magic door behind Sabrina.

"Alright." Sabrina said as she went in. It closed behind her as Salem waved good-bye. "Now I don't have to worry about Aaron checking my magic right now. Hooray!" Salem said as he used magic to cheat in level he was stuck in.


At Sabrina's apartment-years into the future

The door opened in front of the apartment. "Oh wow. Is this where I live?" Sabrina asked, now wearing a purple business suit, pants and glasses. "This is wonderful! Being an adult is gonna be the absolute best!" Sabrina exclaimed happily as she put the watch in her suit. She then walked up to her front door.

"'Sabrina and Harvey Kinkle?' How perfect is this?" Sabrina asked after reading the name of the apartment. "I'm grown up, which means I could do what I want all the time. Plus, I'm married to Harvey and live in this super cool place. Sure hope Aaron isn't mad about this arrangement. Then again, he said he was cool with Harvey and me being a thing." Sabrina mused to herself.

Sabrina looked at the watch. "*Scoffs* Yeah, as if I'm ever gonna want to go back. Surely Aaron would understand if I'm not back there for him. I need all the perks of adulthood." Sabrina said as she threw the watch away.

"Okay, time to check out how amazing my apartment is." Sabrina said as she walked in. She sighed happlily before screaming at the inside of the apartment. "This is way less amazing than I thought it was gonna be." Sabrina said just as the door opened behind her, pushing her towards a lamp, causing everything to be a mess.

"Hi, honey. It's 6:45 and I'm home." Said an older Harvey, who was showing signs of balding and wearing a green business suit. Plus, he was a bit...more weighted. Sabrina turned to look at him with shock. "Something wrong, dear?" Harvey asked. "Harvey, does our place seems a little bit...small?" Sabrina asked.

"Yep. But it's all we can afford on my salary as a door-to-door placemat salesman. I don't know what it is with me and jobs. Just can't seem to concentrate. I feel mixed up. Like, one minute I was a kid in the mall, next thing I knew, I was a grown-up. And it doesn't help with him running the entire universe around, killing people." Harvey said as he sat down on the couch.

"Who?" Sabrina asked, picking up a newspaper. "You know, him. The One True God? The humanity killer?" Harvey asked, hoping to jog Sabrina's memory. "Uh, yeah. Him. Sorry, slipped my mind a bit." Sabrina said, playing along.

Surely Aaron wouldn't let someone go around killing people. He would be the one who stop them. Unless-No, he's not dead. He probably living a happy life. Yeah, that's it. He's probably got a career in writing right now, using magic to multitask. Sabrina said in her thoughts.

"Harvey, look. I Know What You Screamed Last Summer Part 12! Now I can see it, I'm an adult! This is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for. Come on!" Sabrina said as she dragged Harvey off the couch.

"But Sabrina, what about the kids?" Harvey asked her. "Kids?" Sabrina asked, stopping in her tracks. Soon three kids ran in, two boys with Harvey's hair color and blue shirts with number 1 and 2 on them, and a girl with Sabrina's hair color and wearing pink.

The kids soon created a bigger mess in the room. Harvey caught one of the books and a tree. The kids soon ran around the two adults. "There's no way we can bring them to a PG-13 movie. Besides, I think they're hungry. Maybe you oughta whip up a little dinner, honey." Harvey told Sabrina as she walked to the kitchen.

Sabrina opened up the cabinets. "Uh oh." Sabrina said, realizing her situation. "I'm just a kid who looks like a grown up. I don't know how to cook. But that doesn't mean I can't zap up a little something." Sabrina said, trying to use magic, only for smoke to come out from her fingers.

"Oh no. Rule of Witchcraft #42: no spells within spells. Though how did Aaron managed to bypass it? I mean, he has that magic shield up, so he shouldn't be using magic while under its protection. Hmm, may have to ask him soon." Sabrina said before noticing that the smoke was glowing with magic.

"Wait, it isn't just the rule is affecting my magic. It's like someone is taking all magic. And for some reason, this magic, it feels familiar, but at the same time, not." Sabrina mused before having an idea.

"Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we go out to eat?" Sabrina asked. "Yay!" Her kids cheered. They soon lined up with halos over their heads, acting like good children. "Yeah, I'm good." Sabrina said.


Later, at the Greendale Mega Mall

Sabrina, Harvey and their kids were at a table, eating pizza. "And guess what? Now we're going to the arcade." Sabrina told her kids. "Hooray!" They cheered. Harvey and the kids soon left to the arcade. "What was I worried about? I've got this adult thing down cold." Sabrina said as she eat some pizza.

"Don't you just hate it? When you were a kid, you can eat as much pizza as you want. Now it just goes straight to your hips." A fat woman said to Sabrina. Sabrina started walking away before feeling like her hips were two pizzas. She pushed on her hips, causing herself to be skinny again before walking to the arcade.

Harvey and his and Sabrina's kids were playing some arcade games when Sabrina walked by them. "I'm gonna play Mystic Dragon Ninja Space Bats." Sabrina told them. She arrived at the game that she was denied all those years ago due to not having an adult at the time. "Ooh, it's good to be old." Sabrina said as she climbed in the game.

"Hey, uh, lady? Aren't you too old to be playing this? It's kind of a teen game. You know, uh, for kids." A random kid mocked Sabrina as everyone in line laughed at her. "And speaking of kids, sweetie, ours are getting kind of cranky." Harvey told Sabrina as he walked away. "Me too." Sabrina said.

But it's so not fair. I can't play the game as a kid because I need an adult. And now I can't play because I am one! I wonder what Aaron will say to this situation? He'll probably say this reeks of hypocrites. Sabrina mused in her thoughts as she walked out of the machine.


Later, at the Kinkle's Apartment

The washer was leaking suds, the dishes fell to the ground and the kids were jumping on the couch, all while Harvey was reading the newspaper. The phone rang as Sabrina ran towards it and picked it up. "Hello? What? You're the landlord and the rents due?" Sabrina asked.

"Harvey, do we have money to pay the rent?" Sabrina asked her husband. One of the kids jumped next to Harvey, causing him to bounce off the couch. He then pulled out his pockets with a sheepish smile.

"What? We need how much? By when?" Sabrina asked, trying to hear over the chaos of her kids and getting her answers. She then hang up the phone and put it up. "Wow. This being an adult thing has some really ducky parts to it." Sabrina lamented.

Salem soon zapped himself onto Sabrina's lap. "So, how's it going? Enjoying ourselves, are we?" Salem asked. "Having a blast. All I need is a little money." Sabrina said as she stood up, causing Salem to fall down on his face.

Salem then zapped himself on Sabrina's shoulder. "Well, you could always get a job. That's a grown-up thing to do." Salem told her before leaving via magic. "A job. Great idea. They'll give me money. And then everything will be perfect. I'll be rich and be able to do anything I want." Sabrina said.


Later, when the kids are asleep

"Well, they're asleep. Then again, they burn a lot of energy, it's not surprising, huh?" Sabrina asked Harvey. "Huh? I mean, yeah. Yeah they do." Harvey said as he looked up from his newspaper.

"So, how is Aaron these days? Probably enjoying life without Gem?" Sabrina asked Harvey. "Oh. Aaron." Harvey said sadly. "What? Did I say something wrong?" Sabrina asked. "No, it's just...well..." Harvey began nervously.

"He's dead, isn't he?" Sabrina asked, starting to make the connections. "Well, he's dead to the world. Look, let's pay attention to the the good things we have right now." Harvey said. "Yeah. Let's." Sabrina said sadly.


?'s Perspective-Location: ?

Heh heh. I did it. I killed the 'King of All'. Then again, he is just a child focused on destroying planets in his 'games', so it wouldn't be hard. I turned around to leave, walking past the corpses of the 'Gods of Destructions' and 'Angels'. They barely put up a fight against me. Especially when I killed all those Supreme Kais in those other universes along with stealing all their powers.

As I made my way back towards my base, I heard my communicator turn on. "Yes?" I asked one of my followers with a calm tone, even though I told them to contact me only if it was important. "My Lord. Ares had escaped. Again." The follower said. "WHAT?! HOW DID IT HAPPENED?!" I snapped, all my calmness leaving.

"I don't know. I came in the room to see the guard dead and the keys gone." The follower nervously stammered. I took a huge sigh to calm myself. "Alright. I'll bring him back. You won't be punished. But next time this happened, you know what will happen?" I asked. "Yes, sir. Thank you." The follower said as he ended the call.

"Oh, Ares. You are getting predictable, and I know where you're hiding. And I thought you were smarter than Strife. But no matter, I was planning on destroying that town anyways. You just gave me a reason now." I said with a smirk as I made my way back to Earth.


Sabrina's Perspective-the next day

"Welcome to Stone, Stone, Stone and Grind Stone. I'm Gem Stone, your boss." Gem told Sabrina. "Tell me you're kidding, Gem." Sabrina said. "Look at this face, Spellman. I never kid. Kidding leads to joking, which could lead to laughing, which probably leads to wrinkles. And plus, I never kid after him." Gem said.

"You mean Aaron?" Sabrina asked. "Don't you dare say his name! As far as we're concerned. he's dead to us! We should be thankful that the One True God isn't here to kill you for saying that name! Got it?" Gem snapped at Sabrina. "Yes." Sabrina replied.

"Good. Your workday begins precisely now!" Gem told Sabrina. Soon all four phone rang at the same time and the fax machine was faxing stuff to Sabrina, surprising her. She then picked up the phones, answering multiples at the same time. Gem walked off with a smirk.

Soon people were dumping huge stacks of paperwork on Sabrina's desk or in her hands and walking off. All of this started to overwhelm Sabrina all workday long. "Boy, am I hungry. And boy, do I need to use the restroom." Sabrina said to herself. She soon looked over her cubicle to see everyone else walking around.

Sabrina soon called Gem. "Uh, hello? Gem. Uh, like, where's the ladies' room?" Sabrina asked. "To locate the facility, you will need a facility locator map. To acquire the map, you need to fill out the restroom requisition form W1313." Gem told Sabrina over the phone.

"Okay. So how do I get that?" Sabrina asked as she grabbed a notepad and a pen. Gem soon walked up to her. "Sheez, Spellman. How old are you, twelve? You're acting like you've never been a cog in the wheels of a hopelessly bloated corporate before.

"To find the ladies' room, all you have to do is get a map from the office of restroom resources. Which happens to be located right next to the ladies' room. It's the system I designed myself. With permission from the One True God, of course." Gem said.

"Gee, how come that doesn't come as a surprise?" Sabrina asked sarcastically, tossing the notepad and pen to the side. "Well, if it's a surprise you want, here's your paycheck." Gem said as a man pushing a mail cart handed Sabrina her paycheck.

"I'm an adult with money! It's gonna get good now. I can buy cool clothes and great CDs and, like, go to every killer theme parks in the entire world if I want to." Sabrina said happily as she ran towards the bank.

She cashed in the check and the banker grab a huge stack of money. "All yours." He said, causing Sabrina to gasp in happiness. She was about to grab the stack, but he stop her. "Except for a few deductions." He told her as he took some money.

"Taxes, rent payment, taxes, insurance payments, money for food, car payments, taxes on taxes, braces for kids and a few more taxes." The banker said, handing her a couple bills of money. "Who the taxes for anyways?" She asked. "The One True God. Who else? We all want to stay alive." The banker said.

"Well, I like to have a few words with this 'True God'. He's getting in the way of me getting CDs and going to HurlWorld." Sabrina said hotly. The banker closed the door on her, causing her to fall backwards. "Hmph. 'True God', whoever you are, you're ruining my life." Sabrina said as she left the bank, not noticing that a figure in a black cloak was watching her.

Sabrina saw two kids were enjoying themselves. "This is definitely no fun. When I was a kid, things were way cooler. Especially when Aaron was around. And now adulthood sucks and he's not even here to enjoy it. All because he's gotten killed by this 'True God' creep. I wish I could go home." Sabrina lamented.

"*Laughs* You actually think Aaron was killed by the True God?" A figure sarcastically asked, walking up to Sabrina. "Yes! At least, that's what everyone been saying. Who are you to mocked me anyways?" Sabrina asked angrily.

The figure took off his hood. "Y-You're Ares. But how? You're don't reveal yourself to just anyone." Sabrina said. "Ah, you know of me." Ares said. "Yeah. Zelda and Aaron watch Xena and Hercules. Zelda never stop talking about it sometimes." Sabrina said.

"To answer your question, I lost my godhood to the True God. But you are a fool to think Aaron was killed by him." Ares told her. "But if he's not dead, then where is he? He wouldn't allow this 'True God' to kill people and not do anything about it!" Sabrina retorted. "Under normal conditions, you would be right. But not if he's the True God." Ares said.

"W-What? No, you're lying. Aaron's dead. I was told that." Sabrina said, feeling as if she was slapped in the face. "Tell me. What did people do when you mentioned Aaron's name then?" Ares asked. "Well, Harvey told me that Aaron was dead to the world. And Gem said not only was Aaron dead to us, but we would be killed by the True God for saying that name." Sabrina said.

"Heh heh. That had double meaning. See, Aaron's dead to the world because he's the True God. In fact, he's the reason why the gods are now either mortals or dead. Why you can't perform magic right now. He took everyone's powers for himself." Ares said. "But how? Why?" Sabrina asked.

"You see, it was one day when you, your aunts and Aaron's parents were out of town. Strife, my nephew, and I decided it was the perfect moment to try and turn him into the perfect warlord, by grooming the darkness in his heart." Ares said. "Darkness? Aaron doesn't have any darkness in his heart! He's one of the purest people I know!" Sabrina argued, though with doubts.

"Really? Then explain why his left eye turn red and his right eye turn a darker shade of green?" Ares asked. "...Fine. What did you two do?" Sabrina asked. "Well, we thought we can push him to his limits. We drowned him, electrocuted him, put pins and needles in him. Told him how no one cared about him, given how his own parents and friends never asked where he was. We even showed him how everyone moved on without him.

"Eventually, we finally broke him. But not in the way I wanted. I wanted him to conquer at least a planet or two in my name. It wasn't asking that much. But he decided he wanted more. He conquered the entire uni-no, the entire multiverse. He took all the gods powers, and all magic. He decided he want revenge against all living beings, not just humans." Ares explained.

"But...Where Strife?" Sabrina asked. "...He was the first victim. Aaron somehow got ahold of the Golden Hind blood, put it on a dagger and stabbed Strife in the heart with it. By the time I arrive..." Ares trailed off. "No. No! NO!" Sabrina screamed out in anguish at what she was being told.

"I managed to escape from his base. He has followers. But I don't kn-" Ares began before stopping in fear. "Ares?" Sabrina asked. "So, this is who you came crawling to? Another blond? And one who was my 'friend' at that?" Another voice asked. Sabrina looked up and gasped in shock and horror.

The True God, AKA, Aaron, or in this case, Dark Aaron, was wearing a black leather armor with a black cape. He was looking like a calm person but Sabrina could see in his eyes that he holds huge amount of anger and even glee at what he's done. He was literally glowing with so much powers and exclude terror where he stepped, which might be why Ares was terrified. She could tell that he doesn't even need to touch her to kill her. He could just simply use his powers to kill her.

But right now, his attention was on Ares. "So, you're going around, telling people how you and Strife made me who I am? Well, I do need someone to explain how I am who I am right now. I should be thankful that you ripped away the veils of love, friendship and all the other corny stuff from my eyes. But I'll deal with you later." 'Aaron' said as he used magic to put Ares in a bubble.

"No! You!" Ares points at Sabrina. "Fix this! Make sure that he never gives in to hi-" Ares managed to say before being sent back to the True God's base. "Well, that takes care of that issue. No more blood from my followers. Though they'll kill themselves if I asked them to." True God said with a chuckle.

"Why are you doing this, Aaron?!" Sabrina asked him. "Oh, now you care for me?" Dark Aaron asked. "What are you saying? Of course I care!" Sabrina protested. "No you don't. You never cared for me at all! They show me that! I actually thought during that whole thing that maybe you might try and save me. And you know what they show me? Do you?!" Dark Aaron asked her angrily.

"What?" Sabrina asked. "They showed me that time. When I told you those things when we were eight. And you know what you did? You. Laugh. At. ME!" Dark Aaron shouted at Sabrina. "We were kids!" Sabrina protested.

"No! You don't get to make that excuse! You made it obvious that you and me, we were never gonna happen! That you and Harvey were perfect! And I was hurt that you laugh at my confession! And now you got your lovely idiotic husband and brats who don't give a care!" Dark Aaron yelled before having a smirk.

"But I should really thank Strife. He's the one who showed me that all my morals were idiotic. That instead of helping everyone who would call me a freak, I should rule over them with an iron fist. He would've made the best general in my army. Shame I killed him. In fact, in the next hour, Greendale will be wiped off the face of the planet! And that includes your sweet Harvey and children. So, see you never, Sabreeny." Dark Aaron said, mocking the nickname.

"But you never killed people. You even called out Tim the Witchsmeller for being a hypocrite!" Sabrina said, trying to sway Dark Aaron back to the light. "Yeah, and I was a fool. I literally hold everyone's life in my hands. You know how exciting it is to have people make sacrifices to me, wanting me to spare their lives and their reactions when I kill them? It's a rush. Well, happy deathday." Dark Aaron said as he left.

"Aaron, no. I-I have to make sure this doesn't happen. *Gasp* The watch! I could use the watch to stop this. Oh, where did it go?" Sabrina asked as she heard the clock rang. "It's six. I got here yesterday at 6:45. I gotta find that watch or I'm gonna be stuck here before death. I've only got forty-five minutes." Sabrina said as she ran back to her apartment.


At the Kinkle's Apartment

"I've got to find that watch. What did I do with it?" Sabrina asked as she searched a nearby closet for it. "Oh man. What a mess I caused, and all because I wanted the perks of adulthood. Harvey, have you seen-?" Sabrina asked as she ran to check elsewhere in the house.

"You know, I never get tired of looking at this old album. See. It's the pictures of the great times we have growing up." Harvey said, causing Sabrina to look at the photo album. "Our junior high class trip, your 16th birthday party, prom night, our high school graduation." Harvey said. "I'm not in any of these pictures. And neither is Aaron." Sabrina pointed out.

"Well, that was because Aaron, I mean, our True God went to his uncle's place. Something there must have caused him to end up the way he did." Harvey said. "Harvey, Aaron don't have any other relatives besides his parents." Sabrina said. "Hmm. Yeah. That detail was always fuzzy." Harvey commented, rubbing his head.

"And I wasn't there for any of it. I missed out on all the great stuff of being a kid and caused Aaron to end up this way. Why was I in such a hurry to grow up? Harvey, I made, like, such a huge mistake. Life was way better when I was a kid. When we were kids. I've got to fix everything before it's too late. I've got to find my watch." Sabrina told Harvey.

"The watch? Is it kind of an old-fashioned pocket watch kind of thing?" Harvey asked Sabrina. "You've seen it?" She asked. "Yeah. I found it in the trash. I gave it to the kids to play with." Harvey said as Sabrina ran towards them. She saw that they use it as a baseball, hitting it into the sidecar of a motorcycle.

"Hey! Follow that motorcycle!" Sabrina told a taxi driver. He drove off without her. "Taxi!" She called over another taxi. She then climbed in. "Follow that motorcycle!" She told the driver. As the taxi drove off, she saw in the rearview mirror that Dark Aaron went to her apartment with a angry smirk.

She silently pleaded no. But it was no use as she soon heard her kids and Harvey's screams of death before silence. Sabrina then silently broke down in tears as the taxi followed the motorcycle.

Soon, the taxi was stuck in a traffic jam. Sabrina looked outside to see the time: 6:30. "I only have fifteen minutes before I'm stuck here. And then Aaron will kill me at 7:00." Sabrina lamented tearfully before looking determined.

"No, no time for this. I've got to hurry." Sabrina said as she looked out the window to see the motorcycle leaving. "Oh no, he's getting away." Sabrina said as she chased after the motorcycle. "Can I borrow your skateboard?" She asked a couple of kids. "Sure." They said, handing it to her.

"Thanks. This is a life and death emergency. I promise I'll return it." Sabrina said as she got on and skated off. She was catching up to the motorcycle, passing a police officer. "Hey!" He shouted as he chased after them. Sabrina almost hit a semi-truck but managed to go under it, gasping in surprise.

The motorcycle soon stop at a red light. Sabrina jumped over the sidecar and landed in front of the motorcycle. She grabbed the watch from the sidecar. "To back home, you wished to run. Set the hands at two and one." Sabrina recited as she did just that. The police officer hand out the ticket to Sabrina, who went back through time. And just in time as Dark Aaron decided to blow up Greendale just at that moment, instead of 7:00 as he said.


Back in the present

Sabrina landed on the floor in front of the front door. "I'm home! I'm a kid again! No job, no boss, no landlord and no killings, yes!" Sabrina exclaimed before checking the living room to see the welcome home decorations are up. "Wait, I thought it would be a couple of hours before he comes back?" Sabrina asked, just as the doorbell rang.

She opened it to see Harvey at the door. "Harvey, it's the right you. You look exactly like, like you're supposed to look." Sabrina said, a bit shakily, the events of what happened catching up to her. "Yeah, well. Back at you. Um, want to go to a movie or something?" Harvey asked.

"Great idea! And I know just what to see. Wombat Wally. Then I want to eat a really huge pizza. And then I want to come straight home so I could rearrange all my stuffed animals." Sabrina said. "Wombat Wally? Stuffed animals? What's going on?" Harvey asked.

"I'm just enjoying being a kid." Sabrina said. "And I thought Aaron was the one acting weird." Harvey said. "A-Aaron? He's back?" Sabrina asked. "Yes. In fact, he's heading here right now. I was meaning do you want to go to the movies after we throw Aaron a welcome home party?" Harvey asked.

"Uh, sure. In fact, I already got everything set up." Sabrina said. "Wow. It's like you knew he came back in only a day." Harvey said. "Yeah. Exactly. Anyways, let's hide inside and surprise him. Just gonna let Zelda and Hilda know." Sabrina said.


Aaron's P.O.V.

"Note to self: Never go to Hawaii again." I said. "Oh come on. You have to admit, a child god is funny!" Ares told me. "Don't you dare. We both know that child wasn't a god. Just some rando brainwashing everyone to be peaceful. I mean, why is it that whenever a peaceful society is always a brainwashed community or that they have everything to do with anything but peace?" I asked.

"Because it to show how terrifying peace is." Ares said. "Yeah. Your and the other gods' version of peace." I said. "So, since we did team up for this..." Ares began. "Oh no. *Chuckles* I'm not becoming your warlord. And you won't kill me because you don't have a replacement at the moment, so you need me. So bye." I told Ares as I left him fuming.

I soon arrived at Sabrina's house. "Huh. It's too early to turn off the lights." I said as I opened the door and walked towards the living room. "Surprise! Welcome home Aaron!" Sabrina, Harvey, Chloe, Pi, Zelda, Hilda, Quigley and my parents exclaimed, jumping out from behind the couches.

"Yes, welcome home. Kid." Salem said, clapping slowly. "Normally, I would be upset. But I'll accept it." I told Salem as I hugged him. "You'll accept it? Am I being pranked by you?" Salem asked. "Nope. I'm serious. I miss all of you." I said.

"So, how was your time there, Aaron?" My father asked. "Oh, you know. Just,uh, average." I lied "Did you enjoy the tropical air?" My mother asked. "Nope. Not really. It's really sickening. Glad to have our fresh air again." I said.

"Did you got everything out of your system?" Sabrina asked, nervous for some reason. "Yes. Though I lost in the third round of the whole thing." I said sadly. "Oh no." Sabrina said. "Don't worry. I accepted my lost. It motivated me to try better next year. Oh, by the way Sabreeny. Here a present from me." I said as I handed her a small box.

"What's this?" Sabrina asked. "Open it." I said. Sabrina opened it and was surprised to see an pink iPod. "For me?" Sabrina asked. "Yeah. So if you need to call or text me, I'll answer. And that way, you don't need to use your house landline plans." I told her. "Thanks Aaron." Sabrina said as she hugged me, though she shook as she did so.

"You're welcome. Are you okay, though?" I asked. "Y-Yeah. Just missed your company was all." Sabrina said. "Okay. So, about watching those cartoons. How about Quick Draw McGraw?" I asked. "Sure. After all, I'm think I gonna stick with the perks of being a kid." Sabrina said with a small, sad smile, confusing me a bit. But oh well. Anything better than...that.
