Sabrina's P.O.V.-Sabrina's Room-Saturday, five days later
It was morning in Greendale, especially at the Spellman house, as a cold November breeze blew by. "I just can't make up my mind!" Sabrina said as she used magic to pull some bandanas from her dresser, while Salem was on her bed. The options were green, orange, and red.
"Wrap up the magic act and go with the green." Salem said. "I thought cats saw only black and white." Sabrina said. "That's dogs." Salem said with disgust. "Disgusting creatures." He added.
"You're sure you go with the green here?" Sabrina asked, which Salem nods at. "Then, red it is!" Sabrina said, sending the orange and green bandana back. She grabbed the red bandana and wrapped it around her neck like a scarf.
"Ugh. Cheap." Salem complained. Sabrina began walking out of her room, only to walk back in as Quigley walk towards her with an angry look.
"And where do you think you're going, young lady?" Quigley asked. "The mall, Great-Uncle Quigley. Chloe, and Aaron's going to meet me there. It's Saturday and-" Sabrina began. "And Saturday is your what?" Quigley asked as Sabrina tried to remember.
"Chore day." Sabrina said dully, remembering. Even without her three week grounding, which she was sharing with Zelda and Hilda, she still had chore day on Saturdays.
"And the rules of this house is?" Quigley asked with a smirk. "Don't go anywhere until your chores are finished." Sabrina recited sadly, sitting on her bed.
"Remember the family meeting last year. Yours was the deciding vote: chores not done during the week have to be done first thing Saturday morning." Quigley reminded.
"But I only voted that way to get out of doing chores on Friday night." Sabrina argued. "I get the feeling this is gonna unpleasant." Salem said under his paw. "Speaking of unpleasant, Salem, don't you have a cat box to clean?" Quigley asked with a smirk. Salem left to do that, grumbling.
"Dumb rules. Argh!" Sabrina groaned angrily as she stormed over to her dresser to put the red bandana away.
"Rules are there for a reason, Sabrina. It's important to follow them." Quigley told Sabrina as he left.
"Wrong, Great-Uncle Quigley. What's important right now is to blow through my chores and get to the mall with my friends." Sabrina said.
Later, Sabrina ran into the kitchen, where the chore list was listed on the fridge. She was shocked about the amount of chores. "Helen Houdini's Cornflakes! How could I put up so many things?!" Sabrina asked.
"And that is why we follow the what?" Quigley asked. "Child labor laws?" Sabrina snarked. "No, the rules. I guesstimate it should take no more than two hours tops." Quigley said, handing Sabrina the list.
"Two hours? I haven't got two hours to waste, doing chores!" Sabrina exclaimed, looking down at the list. She then smiled, remembering she has magic as she pointed at the kitchen closet, opening it with magic.
"And no magic." Quigley said, as the door shut again. "But I'm a witch." Sabrina protested. "You're half a witch. And remember, you're grounded for three weeks." Quigley reminded. "So is Hilda and Zelda! Why aren't they helping me?" Sabrina asked.
"Because they're not the one who put off the chores and then threw a Halloween party behind my back." Quigley said. "No, they went to one and left me with Salem." Sabrina pointed out. "And, they're being punished too. Just not with chores." Quigley said with finality that told Sabrina that this discussion was done. "Fine." Sabrina grumbled.
Later, in the living room, Salem was woken up by a vacuum. "Sorry, in a hurry." Sabrina said, vacuuming the living room. She was wearing a purple bandana with white polka dots, and a blue overall over her clothes. Salem was on the fireplace mantle, due to the vacuum. "Nice outfit! Gunning for Mr. Blackspell's Worst Dressed list?!" Salem snarked.
Sabrina later opened the bathroom door, sweeping the floor, even the carpets. Afterwards, she shut the door, showing Salem flattened on it. "Sorry, in a hurry." Sabrina said for a second time. Salem fell down, leaving claw marks on the door as he whimpered in pain.
Sabrina soon dusted everything, including Salem, causing him to sneeze. A model spaceship almost fell, only for Quigley to catch it. "Watch it!" Quigley told Salem, caring more for his model. "Watch it? Maybe a 'bless you' or 'Sorry for the sniffles, Salem', that would've been nice." Salem said.
"Oh, thank heavens it's not broken." Quigley said, referring to the model spaceship. "Your one-eighth model of a UFO for this year's Roswell Convention. Hand it over and I'll have it dusted in a flash." Sabrina said.
"No, Sabrina. No one is supposed to this. It's a rule, remember?" Quigley asked her. "Sorry, forgot the rule. Although, it's part of the chores, as listed in the chore list." Sabrina said, handing the list to Quigley to see.
"Well, now it's not part of the chores. And this 'Don't touch' sign will help remind you. Especially after that Missouri chip incident." Quigley said firmly and angrily, putting said sign on the shelf.
"Yeah, that'll help. And it's not my fault you lost that chip. You're the one who held it out. So you're the one who allowed it to get eaten." Sabrina said as she walked off, before Quigley could retort.
Soon, she was cleaning a nightstand. "Sabrina, I'm going out to run an errand! I'll be back in a bit!" Quigley shouted from the bottom of the stairs. "Okay, Great-Uncle Quigley!" Sabrina shouted back as Quigley left.
"Great. Now I finally got the place to myself. I'll be done in no time." Sabrina said to herself as she slid down the stair railings. cleaning it on the way down with the rag. "Ta da!" She exclaimed.
In the kitchen, Sabrina crossed off the chores. "Only two more chores left. Dust the bookshelf in my room and the Spooky Jar." Sabrina said, before looking at the clock.
"And I still got time to meet Chloe and Aaron at the mall! If I hurry." Sabrina said as she walked to where the Spooky Jar is, not on the fridge, but on a pedestal in the living room. Probably due to the amount of times Aaron, Sabrina and Chloe used the Spooky Jar in the past two months.
"Just look at this new setup Great-Uncle Quigley made for the Spooky Jar. That guy has way too much time on his hand." Sabrina said, about to touch it to dust only, only for a alarm to sound off.
"The Spooky Jar is for the casting of spells and incantations only. For your own safety and protection around you, Sabrina, please wash your hands after handling the Spooky Jar." The voice on the intercom, most like Quigley given that the pedestal put emphasis on Sabrina's name, said.
"I think Great-Uncle Quigley has finally jumped his track." Sabrina said, grabbing the Spooky Jar. "It was only a matter of time." Salem said.
"Any violation of the hand-washing rule can result in traces of magic dust being left on your fingers and can cause some, um, uh, problematic, uh, problems." The voice continued. "That's done." Sabrina said, putting the Spooky Jar back on the pedestal.
"Now all that's left is the bookshelf in my room." Sabrina said as she left, not noticing that the Spooky Jar was glowing. "Hey, hey, hey. No pit stop for a nice hand washing?" Salem asked.
"I'm a little pressed for time, alright? Besides, it's another dumb family rule. How important can it be anyways?" Sabrina asked. "You don't have to convince me. You're talking to the Mark Mcguire of rule breakers here." Salem said as he followed Sabrina upstairs.
Sabrina ran into her room and towards her bookshelf, which she started dusting as Salem walked in. "For centuries, I've been saying that rules, like home run records, are meant to be broken." Salem said as Sabrina grabbed a random book.
"Cinderella. Now this one, I don't mind dusting. It was my favorite storybook when I was little. It was also Aaron's favorite Disney movie. Not only because it was also Walt Disney's favorite, but because Aaron likes the message." Sabrina said.
However, the book glowed purple before glowing blue as the blue light went to Sabrina's bed. A red hair female in rags was on Sabrina's bed, surrounded by the green glow of magic. "Who are you?" Sabrina asked the young woman.
"Cinderella in the flesh." Cinderella said before laughing in an annoying way. "Oh, I love this. I'm free. No more cottage in the woods, no more chores. This is great!" Cinderella said, throwing a book she picked up over her shoulder.
Sabrina was still in shock as Cinderella started throwing her stuff around, causing a mess. "Hey, you got any munchies? Maybe some porridge? And where's the well? I'm a little thirsty. Is it me, or is it stuffy in here?" Cinderella asked, waving her hand to fan herself before running over to the window and opening it.
"Oh, boy. Do we have a problem." Sabrina finally said, dropping the book. Salem zapped himself behind Sabrina. "I'd say a little Spooky Jar magic dust wiped off on your storybook." Salem explained.
"I didn't washed my hands!" Sabrina exclaimed, realizing this happened because she ignored a rule. "What am I gonna do? If Quig finds out that I broke a rule, I'll be grounded for the rest of my life, on top of the three weeks!" Sabrina exclaimed.
"Nice closet. Yours?" Cinderella said before giving out the annoying laugh as she searched through Sabrina's closet for clothes. "You know who has a lot of clothes? The Queen of Hearts. She tells everyone she's a size 6. Who's she kidding? The woman has a backside the size of an ox cart." Cinderella said, tossing clothes to the side while laughing that annoying laugh again.
Salem scoffed at the laugh. "The last time I heard a sound like that, it was coming from a broken garbage disposal." Salem said.
"I don't want to be a bother, but do you mind losing that creepy cat? I'm allergic." Cinderella said as Salem was shocked by her suggestion to get rid of him. He then hissed at her for calling him creepy before he began to leave.
"Hold it, Salem. You've got to stay and help me out of this." Sabrina said. "I'm not the one who didn't wash my hands after dusting the Spookey Jar." Salem pointed out. "You don't have hands." Sabrina countered. "Will the insults never end?" Salem asked, leaving the room.
"Talking cats bug me. Where I come from in Once Upon a Time Land, the Cheshire Cat won't shut up. Yak, yak, yak. A real motormouth, that one." Cinderella complained while laughing.
"Do you always laugh so...loud?" Sabrina asked, choosing her words carefully. "You wanna talk loud? Try having a conservation with the giant who lives at the top of the beanstalk with 'fee fie foe fum' all day long." Cinderella said with the laugh again.
"I don't know how to say this. But have you ever heard the rule about picking up after yourself?" Sabrina asked Cinderella, grabbing a shirt the latter had and putting it back in the closet.
"Rules, schmules. They're for dummies." Cinderella said, throwing another piece of clothing behind her. Sabrina started picking up her clothes when the doorbell rang. "Now what?" She wondered.
"Don't leave the room, okay? And don't do anything." Sabrina told Cinderella as she left the room. "Oh, she's a party." Cinderella said sarcastically.
Sabrina opened the door to see Harvey standing on the front porch. "*Gasp* Harvey!" Sabrina exclaimed. "Hi. Do you have the science homework assignment for Monday? I lost my. And I don't know where Aaron is to ask him. The jerk." Harvey muttered the last part to himself.
"Um, what was that?" Sabrina asked with a raised eyebrow. "Nothing!" Harvey said with a way too big smile. "Anyways, I'll give to you. Later. I'll fax it to you." Sabrina told Harvey, trying to get him to leave.
"And where have you been hiding this handsome prince?" Cinderella asked, looking like a modern teen than she did earlier. She let out the annoying laugh once again.
"Hi, call me Cindy." She told Harvey. "Hi. Wow, great outfit. Sabrina, I bet you look great in something like that." Harvey said. "I do. It's my outfit." Sabrina said, only to be ignored.
"So, tell me about yourself. Any brothers? Sisters? Wicked stepmothers?" Cinderella asked, leading Harvey inside the house as Sabrina glared at her. "Wonder if Aaron and Chloe are having any fun at the mall?" Sabrina asked.
"Yoohoo! Sabrina." Chloe said from the doorframe, as she and Aaron were standing there with smirks. Aaron was holding a coffee cup, drinking from it. For the past week, Aaron had been wearing a long-sleeved shirt under his vest and tinted glasses. There were two reasons for this.
One, because of the November weather being cold that Aaron wears long-sleeves. Two, it's to hide any injuries Aaron sustained from his training with his mother that he can't heal. And the tinted glasses are to hide the tiredness in his eyes and the bags under, due to him being woken up at 4:00 in the morning to do said training for the past week.
"Uh, did we forget something? Mall, me, Aaron, you? Out of here?" Chloe asked Sabrina. "Extreme emergency." Sabrina told Chloe and Aaron, pulling them inside the house and closing the door behind them.
"I'm supposed to wash my hands after touching the Spooky Jar. I didn't. I dust up my Cinderella book. Poof! Now I have Cinderella in my house, here, with Harvey!" Sabrina told the two as a crashing sound was heard.
"And with something that got really broken." Chloe told Sabrina. "Yeah." Aaron agreed. "By the way, what cause you two to come here." Sabrina said. "It was his idea." Chloe said, pointing at Aaron.
Aaron's P.O.V.-Thirty Minutes ago-Mall
Chloe and I were waiting at the mall for Sabrina. It has been three hours since we arrived, and another three hours since my mother woke me up for training, so I was so tired. But, I promised Sabrina and Chloe I would hang out with them, and I wasn't going to break that promise.
"Where's Sabrina?" Chloe asked, coming back from the coffee shop. "I don't know. She should be here three hours ago." I said, sorting through my music. Only way to not pass out right now.
"You don't think..." Chloe began. "That Quigley's still punishing her over a party that's happened a week ago by enforcing rules to make her do chore day, instead of having Hilda and Zelda share the punishment? Yeah, I think that's Quigley in a nutshell." I said in a deadpan tone.
"Well, we should make sure she's okay." Chloe said. "My thoughts exactly." I said as Chloe and I walked towards Sabrina's house. "By the way, drink this coffee. You need a boost." Chloe said. "No thanks. I don't do coffee." I protested. "Aaron, it's not a option. Drink this coffee!" Chloe persisted as we walked. "NO!" I yelled.
Sabrina's P.O.V.-Present time-Sabrina's house
"I won the argument." Chloe said with a smirk. "Ha, ha. Very funny, Chloe." Aaron said with an eyeroll, as Sabrina, Chloe and Aaron went to see what got broken.
They saw Quigley's UFO model on the floor, broken. "Nobody's supposed to touch that. It's a rule!" Sabrina said.
"What is it with you and rules? Give it a rest already." Cinderella said, not caring about the damage caused.
"You broke it. You're in big trouble." Sabrina told Cinderella, before realizing the little detail. "No you're not. I am. I can't let anybody know you're here. I'll have to take the blame." Sabrina said, not noticing Harvey was shooting glares at Aaron, which confused Chloe.
"What's this? Can I have this? How does it work?" Cinderella asked, turning on a music player on the shelf.
"Oh, I like it. This place is better than an Enchanted Forest. I'm never going home." Cinderella said, dancing to the music.
"That's Cinderella? No wonder her stepsisters hated her. She is unbelievably annoying." Chloe said as CInderella danced with Harvey. "That can't be Cinderella. Sabreeny, please tell me that this is a cruel prank played by either your grandmother or Zelda." Aaron pleaded before going into hysterics.
"I mean, your grandmother surely must had arrived too early and decided to prank us! She used magic to de-age herself to be young!" Aaron exclaimed as the music stopped, while everyone looked at everyone in silent shock.
Ten seconds later
Aaron was thrown out of the window by a pissed off Cinderella. "Never call me old! I am not the Wicked Queen!" Cinderella yelled as Sabrina and Chloe ran to the window, not seeing Harvey briefly flashed a wicked grin before frowning since Sabrina wasn't paying attention to him.
"Aaron, are you alright?!" Sabrina shouted, worried about Aaron since he barely able to function. "Yeah. Luckily these flower beds protected me from Zelda's Opposi-" Aaron began before passing out, given how Sabrina and Chloe heard the light snoring from Aaron's mouth.
"What the heck is wrong with you?! You could have severely injured him, much less killed him!" Sabrina yelled, turning towards Cinderella. "He shouldn't call me old." Cinderella defended.
"He is tired! He is woken up early the past week, and he fall asleep late at night, so he's not getting enough sleep! And you could have told him politely, not try to murder him!" Sabrina countered, knowing that Cinderella's defenses are not excuses for throwing Aaron out of the window.
Cinderella, however, decided that things weren't going her way and dropped out of the discussion. She turned the music back on and started dancing with Harvey, as Sabrina slumped onto the couch. Chloe sat next to her after determining that Aaron was A-Okay, besides being thrown out of the window of course.
"Chloe, I am in such major trouble. I've gotta send her back from where she came from and fast!" Sabrina said. "And exactly how do you do that?" Chloe asked Sabrina.
"Simple. You use a Spooky Jar to get rid of a spooky girl." Salem said. "I hate to admit it, Salem. But you're absolutely right!" Sabrina said as she grabbed the Spooky Jar. "If this works, I swear, I'll never break the rules again." Sabrina promised.
Kitchen
Sabrina, back in her regular clothes, Chloe and Salem were sitting at the kitchen table as the Spooky Jar began shaking. The spirit came out from the jar, wearing the lid over his eyes. "I was asleep and you interrupted my genie in a bottle dream. It's my favorite dream. This better be excruciating important." The Spooky Jar said.
"It's a huge emergency! I need a spell guaranteed to transport someone back to Once Upon A Time Land! Pronto! Otherwise, as soon as Quigley gets home, my life will be over!" Sabrina stated in a rush.
The Spooky Jar waved his fist around close to his chest before holding it to Sabrina, opening it. In it was a hat princesses wear in fairytales. Sabrina grabbed it and looked at it, wondering what she's supposed to do with it.
"Guess you're supposed to put it on." Chloe said as Sabrina did just that. "Tip your hat and say 'So long'. Speak their name and they are gone." The Spooky Jar said with a laughter.
"That's it? That's the spell?" Sabrina asked, surprised about how simple it is compare to prior spells from the Spooky Jar. "I'm tired, and cranky. Plus, I already have that Aaron kid complaining about the lack of rhymes. Take it or leave it." The Spooky Jar said, before going back into the jar.
"So long." Sabrina said, taking the spell with a smile. Better than anything, right? Plus, since Aaron isn't able to do anything, due to passing out on Quigley's flower bed after being thrown out of a window, this seems to be the only option she has left.
"Uh, Sabrina? I was wondering if-" Harvey began, popping his head into the kitchen. "Harvey?!" Sabrina asked, startled by his abrupt appearance. Harvey was soon covered in a green glow before disappearing.
"Huh?" Cinderella asked, just after the green glow was gone. After looking around for Harvey, she kicked his science book.
"Hey, I was thinking. How about we have a party? Maybe invite a couple of elves, a few pixies, a talking bear or two." Cinderella suggested.
"Oh no! I sent the wrong person to Once Upon A Time Land!" Sabrina lamented, realizing her mistake.
Cinderella gave off her annoying laugh as Sabrina put the hat on the counter. "A party. Great idea. Um, pick out a great outfit. Go through my whole closet. Try on everything, throw stuff on the floor. Knock yourself out." Sabrina said as Cinderella went up to Sabrina's room. Cinderella let out her annoying laugh again as Sabrina slammed the kitchen door shut.
"That cares of her for a while. Okay, think. Think. Harvey's been zapped into a book, and Cinderella's still here. What do we do now?" Sabrina asked Chloe and Salem.
"In a word? PANIC!" Salem exclaimed. "Panic? Why?" Chloe asked. "Harvey's in Once Upon A Time Land. It will change the fairytale. And that could have some serious consequences." Salem answered.
"It could?!" Sabrina asked shocked as she sat down at the table. She opened the book, to see Cinderella was gone and replaced by Harvey, who not only fell into the page, but was in rags and was bare feet.
Harvey's P.O.V.-Once Upon A Time Land
Harvey fell into a random place. He looked at his clothes, letting out a startled cry of shock. Suddenly, a bunch of stuff were thrown at him. "Ow. Hey, ah!" Harvey complained.
"Harvey-ella, get to work! Mop the floor, iron the clothes, polish the cues, walk the dog!" A demanding female voice shouted, as a dog growled in Harvey's face. Harvey flew backwards into the fireplace, where the ashes were all over him as he coughed and sneezed.
Sabrina's P.O.V.-Spellman's Kitchen-Greendale, USA
Sabrina grabbed Salem by the shoulder and shook him. "Forget screwing up the story! You got to help us rescue Harvey!" Sabrina told the cat warlock, letting him go as he wait for the world to stop shaking.
"I'm not kidding with you, Salem. Tell me how to save Harvey!" Sabrina pleaded. "Easy on the coat. Okay, okay. It's complicated, but it can be done." Salem said.
"Oh, I hope that means you're going to use more magic. I love it when you guys and Aaron do that stuff." Chloe said as Salem let out a yawn.
"You're both lucky I'm the one you're dealing with. A lesser warlock wouldn't be up to the task. Including Aaron, no matter how powerful his magic is compare to the Lord of the Dances. Here's the deal." Salem said as he rolled up his bathrobe sleeves, before slamming a briefcase on the table and slipped on a pair of sunglasses as Chloe flashed him a thumbs up. "Cool." She praised.
"Your mission, Sabrina, should you accept it, is to infiltrate Once Upon A Time Land. Once there, you are to find Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Emma. Only she can grant the wish that will allow Harvey-ella and this person, Cinderella, to switch places. But the switch must occur no later than noon. Or Harvey will be stuck in Once Upon A Time Land, forever." Salem said, handing Sabrina photos for the mission.
"These pictures will self-destruct...now." Salem said, snapping his finger. Luckily for Sabrina, they only turn into thin air, not harming her at all.
"Way cool! She accepts. I wish I could go." Chloe said. Salem pulled out a glowing paper from the briefcase and handed it to Sabrina.
"The spell of a traveler I have in this rhyme, I beg it to take me to once upon a time." Sabrina recited. The paper flew out of her hand and zapped her to Once Upon A Time Land.
Once Upon A Time Land
Sabrina was zapped to Cinderella's, or in this case, Harvey-ella's house as Harvey was cleaning. "Whoever you are, don't track mud on my clean floor." Harvey said, scrubbing the floor.
"Harvey, it's me. Sabrina!" Sabrina told Harvey. "Thank goodness! Hey, what happened to me?! This has something to do with that weird girl back at your house, doesn't it? Or, did Aaron have anything to do with this?" Harvey demanded, which pissed Sabrina off. Because how is Aaron responsible for this if he passed out. Plus, while she have some suspicions, now was not the time to see if it's true whether or not Aaron told Harvey his secret.
"Of course Aaron isn't responsible for this! In case you've forgotten, he's knocked out by Cindy, over something Aaron wouldn't say anyways! And yes, this has to do with Cindy, so shut up and stop acting like a jerk over the little details, because I'm not in love with Aaron!" Sabrina exploded on Harvey, causing him to be in stunned silence as Sabrina took heavy breaths to calm herself down.
"He's just tired because he's been woken up early the past week. And he really doesn't need this right now, Harv. So, please don't blame him for something Cindy did." Sabrina told Harvey. Before he retorted, the demanding voice shouted again.
"I don't hear any scrubbing going on in there! Girls, go check on Harvey-ella! And find out if he brought any pheasants back with him! No one helps with chores!" The voice ordered.
"Oh no! My wicked stepsisters are coming! Hide!" Harvey told Sabrina as she ran to the curtains. "Don't think we're done talking about this." Sabrina told Harvey before hiding behind the curtains.
"You're not scrubbing the floors! We're gonna tell! It's lumpy gruel and another bath and cold well water for you tonight!" One stepsister, who sounds like Gem, said.
"I don't know where he came from, but I like him better than Cinderella." The other stepsister, who also sounds like Gem, said. "Yeah. He doesn't laugh as much. That helps." The first stepsister said as they walked past the window.
"And do something about the drapes! They look, ugh, fat!" The first stepsister told Harvey as she and her sister left, as Sabrina stop hiding.
"Isn't it amazing that all pain-in-the-neck girls kinda look the same?" Sabrina asked as she ran towards Harvey. "What?" He asked. "Never mind. FInish your chores later, okay? We've gotta find Emma the Fairy Godmother before noon." Sabrina said as she dragged Harvey behind her.
"Who?" Harvey asked. "I'll explain later. Right now, we've got to go, okay?" Sabrina asked. Harvey threw the scrubber in the bucket. "He shoots, he scores!" Harvey exclaimed and started whooping. "Guys and sports. What is up with that?" Sabrina asked as she and Harvey left the house.
They ran along the orange roads. "Hurry up, Harvey! We don't have a minute to lose!" Sabrina stated. "Yeah, I got that. But why? I mean, what's going on? What happened to me, if Aaron not behind it?" Harvey asked.
"It's complicated. Look, just trust me. What we've gotta do right now is concentrate on finding Emma so we can get you home. And Aaron would never do this to you. You two are friends." Sabrina said. "He has a funny way of showing it." Harvey muttered, though Sabrina heard, but decided not to retort. Harvey will see that Aaron is not behind this, though Sabrina wonders why Harvey thinks Aaron is responsible for this.
Later, the two are crossing over a bridge. They walked up to the White Rabbit. "Excuse me, Mr. White Rabbit? We're looking for Emma, the Fairy Godmother. Can you help us?" Sabrina asked. "Sorry. I'm late for a important date. No time to talk." The White Rabbit said as he hopped away.
They soon went to Humpty Dumpty, who had a bandage wrapped around his head and was looking at his paperwork. "Excuse me, Mr. Dumpty? Have you seen a Fairy Godmother named Emma? We're really in trouble and-" Sabrina said.
"Oh, do I know from trouble? I'm coming apart here. The wall I was sitting on, not up to code. And I'm suing somebody, big time." Humpty Dumpty informed.
"But weren't you rocking back and forth instead of sitting still like you were supposed to?" Sabrina asked. "I'm a egg. I got a round bottom. She wants me to sit still." Humpty Dumpty ranted as he left.
Sabrina and Harvey walked towards Goldilocks, who was not only handcuffed, but also had two police officers behind her. "Goldilocks. Wow, it's actually you! Hey, have you seen Emma the Fairy Godmother?" Sabrina asked.
"Okay, I'd love to help you look for her, but I'm being booked for trespassing. *Scoffs* Those bears. I took a little nap in their house. Like, big whup." Goldilocks said.
Finally, Sabrina and Harvey got a bright idea. They headed over to the Once Upon A Time Land phone booth and picked up a phone book. Sabrina started flipping through the pages, looking for Emma the Fairy Godmother.
"I don't believe it! She's listed!" Sabrina exclaimed as she tossed the book in Harvey's hands. She picked up the phone and dialed Emma's number.
"Hello. This is Emma. I'm sorry, but I'm not available right now." Emma's answering machine responded.
"It's an answering machine!" Sabrina exclaimed. "I'm out of town, attending the Fairy Godmothers annual convention. Please leave your wish and I'll grant it when I return. Thank you." The answering machine finished before it made the beep sound.
Sabrina hang up the phone, still in disbelief about what she heard. "This is awful. Nothing is working out right! If I had only followed the rules in the first place! Uh oh, what time is it?" Sabrina asked.
"Well, I have about a quarter to 11:00." Harvey said, checking his watch. "We only have an hour and fifteen minutes until noon. If we don't find Emma by then, we'll be stuck here forever!" Sabrina stated as her last word echoed.
The two ran all the way to the Fairy Godmothers annual convention. "If I get out of this, I'll never break the rules again. I'll never break the rules again!" Sabrina repeated.
The two were stopped by a old man, holding up a sign. "Don't go in there. Boycott. Stand firm until the day of the Fairy Godmothers is passed and the era of the Fairy God-person has dawned." The old man said, handing Sabrina a flyer.
"Thanks. I'll think about it." Sabrina said as she and Harvey ran past the old man into the building. Not noticing that she dropped said paper in the process, or she doesn't care.
Sabrina and Harvey tip-toed towards one room, eavesdropping on a discussion. "Today's topic is the difference between wishing and wanting." A Fairy Godmother said, looking exactly like the person in the future who lamented about not being able to eat a lot of pizza. It's probably a coincidence, but it still freak Sabrina out. "Not here." She told Harvey, shaking her head.
They walked to the opposite room. "And that is the new form for filing your wish granting expenses. Any questions?" An old Fairy Godmother asked the three who were listening. "Can I claim medical expenses? My client's laughs gets on my nerve, I started seeing a therapist. Twice a week." Emma said. "Bingo! Found her!" Sabrina exclaimed joyfully.
Later, Sabrina explained everything to Emma at the food court. "So that's why we need your help. To get Harvey home and Cinderella back here." Sabrina finished.
"Oh. So that's why things been so peaceful lately. Cinderella's gone. Oh my, doesn't that have a lovely sound to it? Not that I don't want Cindy back. But she never follows the rules, you know. That child can be such a pain in the..wand." Emma said, taking such care to not swear.
"Please. Isn't there some kind of switching places wish that can help us?" Sabrina pleaded. "I'm afraid the only way to make a switching places wish work is for Cinderella to put on this pair of glass slippers." Emma said, conjuring up said glass slippers.
"It must be done before noon. No, that's not right. Uh, before 5:00. Uh, no, wait. Before 5:00 is the early bird special at the Magical Zap Cafe. Hmm. Noon. That's right. Stroke of noon. And that's noo in Once Upon A Time Land time zone." Emma said, checking her watch as Sabrina grabbed the glass slippers. Emma sent Sabrina back to Greendale.
"Oh my goodness. That spell always makes everyone involved with that forget all sorts of things. Did I forget to tell her noon our time is the same as noon her time?" Emma asked Harvey. "Oh no! I'm doomed! And it's all Aaron's fault!" Harvey exclaimed, before being zapped away.
Spellman's Residence, Greendale, USA
Chloe was pacing around Sabrina's room when Sabrina was zapped back in. "Where have you been? That girl has been driving me up a wall." Chloe complained. "Chill, Chloe. All we have to do is get Cinderella to put these glass slippers on and she's so gone." Sabrina told Chloe, showing her the glass slippers.
"Where is she?" Sabrina asked. "In your Aunt Hilda's room. Probably trashing the place." Chloe said as Sabrina walked out of the room and towards Hilda's.
Cinderella gave off her annoying laugh as she checked herself in Hilda's mirror, this time wearing a purple dress. Sabrina and Chloe walked into the room. "Snow White, eat your heart out! So, what do you think? Is this gonna kill at the party? Is it me?" Cinderella asked.
"It could be, with the right accessory." Sabrina said, holding out the glass slippers. Cinderella grab the slippers and look at them. "Nah, I don't do glass slippers. I got this thing about my toes. I don't like people to see them." Cinderella said as she drop the slippers. Luckily, Sabrina caught them before they broke, while shooting a glare at Cinderella.
Cinderella was searching through Hilda's wardrobe for more clothing. "Hold everything! This is it! This is the outfit!" She said, holding up a pair of jeans.
"Now what?" Chloe asked. Cinderella changed out of the dress. She was now wearing a red and white long-sleeved shirt and the jeans she found. However, she was still bare feet.
"Wow." Sabrina said, forming an idea. "Cool jeans. But you know, my Aunt Hilda has this rule. Never ever wear blue shoes with retro bell-bottoms." Sabrina said.
"A rule? Oh, honey, are you talking to the wrong person. Lay some blue shoes on me." Cinderella said, not catching on about which blue shoes were in the room. She started searching Hilda's closet again, searching for the blue shoes.
"Darn, no blue shoes!" She complained. Sabrina whistled innocently as she used magic to change the appearance of the glass slippers, which Chloe gave her the 'nice one' sign.
"Oh, here they are." Sabrina said, holding up blue slippers that is actually the glass slippers. She walked over to Cinderella to hand them over.
"See how stupid rules are?" Cinderella asked, taking the slippers. "These are gonna go perfectly with this outfit." Cinderella continued with that annoying laugh. She then put on the slippers, only to get zapped back to Once Upon A Time Land.
A second later, Harvey reappeared between Chloe and Sabrina. "Sabrina. I-I-I think something happened that I should be mad at you and Aaron about. But for some reason, I've forgot what it is. And I feel really dizzy." Harvey said.
"You know, that happens to me all the time." Chloe said. "You probably need a little fresh air." Sabrina said as she and Chloe led Harvey out of the room.
Harvey, Sabrina and Chloe walked downstairs as Quigley walked inside slightly fuming but not really. "Hello, Mr. Quigley." Harvey said. "Hello, Harvey. Always a pleasure to see you." Quigley said as he walked to a different room.
"I'll call you later. Tell you all about the science homework, okay?" Sabrina asked Harvey. "Yeah. Uh, I guess." Harvey said. They soon Quigley ranting about something.
"Where is that cat?! How many times have I told him not to jump on the furniture?!" Quigley asked. "Uh, that would be two hundred and sixty-three as of yesterday." Salem said from behind the curtains, as Sabrina walked in the room.
"Great-Uncle Quigley, it's not Salem's fault." Sabrina said. "Explain." Quigley said firmly, his eyes looking wild. "Long story. I kinda messed up. I had an unexpected visitor, and, well, one thing led to another." Sabrina told Quigley.
"Even after we talked about the rule, about not touching my model under any circumstances?" Quigley asked. "There's that pesky 'R' word again." Salem said, rubbing himself against Sabrina's leg.
"Great-Uncle Quigley, I have really learned my lessons about following the rules. And I promise I'll help you fix up the model as good as new." Sabrina said. "Right after she walks me to the corner. If that's okay." Chloe said.
"Fine. Just don't dawdle. I already have enough on my plate, finding Aaron in my flower beds. When I asked him why he's in there, he gave a vague answer and left. I'll be having a word with his parents later about that." Quigley said firmly.
Seconds later, Sabrina and Chloe were walking outside. "Whew. Wild day. A lot more exciting than a trip to the mall. You sure you can't hang with me for a little while?" Chloe asked Sabrina.
"No. I have to help Great-Uncle Quigley. It really is my fault his model's broken." Sabrina said. "Come on. If we cut across this street, we'll get to the corner quicker." Chloe said. "Sure." Sabrina said as they were about to do so.
"On second thought, I've learned my lesson. Like Great-Uncle Quigley said, rules are there for a reason, and-AAHHH!" Sabrina exclaimed as Chloe pushed her back towards the sidewalk, so that they both barely avoided getting hit by Gem's limo.
"And never mind. I get the point." Chloe told Sabrina. Sabrina just gave a smile towards no one in particular.
Mary and Jake's P.O.V.-Hours later-Dimension's Household
"So, let me get this straight, Quigs. You're pissed off at my son for sleeping on your flower beds, which any child normally would ruin it?" Mary asked, as she and Quigley were sitting on two different chairs in the living room. Jake was tucking Aaron in for the night, with the two sort of starting to see the consequences of Aaron waking up too early.
"Yes. To be quite frank, I think your son is a bad influence on Sabrina! I mean, I never had to punish her this badly over a Halloween party or breaking my model UFO! I think it's best for the both of them if they were to be separated." Quigley told Mary.
"So, you think Aaron's the bad influence, Quigley? Is that really what you believe?!" Mary asked, her voice raising in anger now, as Quigley shrunk in his chair.
"Because I'll remind you my son cares about Sabrina! He is willing to help her, no matter what! And you're the one who thinks he's the bad influence?! When you forgotten that she has you, Hilda, Zelda and Salem as examples?!" Mary was practically screaming in Quigley's face now.
"Despite that, we tried to raise her right, without her resorting to her magic! He's the one who encourage her to do so!" Quigley countered, getting the courage to fight back. "You're telling Sabrina to be a pretender, people you hate! Remember what you told your niece when everyone except my son thought she was a hero?!" Mary hissed, causing Quigley to pale.
"And you're punishing her over something anyone her age would do, regardless of you being there or not. My son told me that everyone at school cheered when they heard you were leaving, because face it, Quigley, you ruin parties for everyone by making rules over the most stupid of things!
"And then, rather than letting Hilda and Zelda share the same punishment with Sabrina for neglecting her to go off to another party, you force Sabrina to do something she voted for a year ago! What does that teaches her, huh? Doing things kids her age, which you want her to do by the way, will warrant the most extreme of punishments, but neglecting them to go off to another party or even an stupid chip auction is a pass?! And now you're upset over a stupid chip, toy model and flowerbed, both of which can be easily fixed?!" Mary shouted now, grabbing Quigley by his shirt and pulling him close so that they were almost face to face.
"So, shut the fuck up about how I raise my kid, Quigley, and I won't tell Diane how you're raising hers. Otherwise, we'll see how quickly Child Protective Services will come to take Sabrina away from you. And I think Diane will agree that Jake and I can raise Sabrina better than you." Mary threatened as she dropped Quigley.
After a few moments of not being able to say anything, Quigley finally retorted. "Well, why was Aaron so tired? He's usually the energetic one, yet he was passed out on my flowebeds." Quigley said, causing Mary to be speechless for a moment.
She can't tell him about the Enchantra's evaluation coming up, he just proved that he doesn't care about anything magic and will try to keep it under wraps. And any excuse she gives will give Quigley justification for being to firm on Sabrina. However, she was save by the bell, or in this case, Jake's voice.
"Because that blackout earlier this week scared him so badly, he was reminded of the incident six years ago, Quigley. So, don't you dare suggest that Mary and I are abusing Aaron in anyway." Jake said darkly from the doorframe as he entered the room.
"I-I-I wasn't." Quigley said, startled by Jake's appearance. "Good. Because if I hear from anyone in Greendale that there are rumors about Aaron being abused by us, and it comes from you, I'll make your live a living hell. And that goes to you not giving out equal punishments to Hilda and Zelda as well. Am. I Clear?" Jake threatened.
"Crystal." Quigley said. "Then get out." Jake said as Quigley left, though not before thanking them for the discussion.
Not even a minute after Quigley shut the door, Jake slumped onto the couch. Mary sat next to him, patting his shoulder. "Mary, we can't keep doing this." Jake said. "But what abo-" Mary began, before stopping, knowing full well about Aaron's wellbeing.
"I don't care if he won't be able to pass Enchantra's evaluation. He's not her son. He's our son. And despite the fact he can hide the fatigue, the exhaustion and the injuries from everyone else, he can't hide it from us. And I can't bear to look at him looking exhausted and injured anymore, Mary. Especially with that blackout causing him to relive that moment." Jake said.
While he is right about Aaron, he also was thinking about his own nightmares from that blackout. For those moments of complete blackness, he saw something from his old home. Those horns, those blue eyes staring into his souls, daring him to fail again, as he had done all those years ago...
"I know. I know, Jake." Mary said, putting her hand on Jake's shoulder, knowing what he's thinking about as well and knowing about what they need to do with Aaron. "That is why I want us to talk about this, tomorrow. Without Aaron." Jake said. "Shouldn't we be including him into this?" Mary asked.
"Mary, despite the fact our son adapting to change, he won't tell us that this is a problem. That Chloe girl came by and told me he refuse to drink coffee. He got his persistence from both of us." Jake said. "Yeah, but it mostly from your side of the family." Mary said. "Yeah. I suppose he does. Just like my father. And my brother. And my sisters." Jake said.
"Jake, when can we tell him the truth? About both of us and our past? It feels wrong we tell him to be honest with us, and yet he has a point last month. We're not honest with him with us, with our past!" Mary exclaimed.
"Mary, we knew this discussion would come up. We knew it since we told him how Green died. So, I was thinking when he's fourteen." Jake said. "Why at that age? Why not now, before things get worse?" Mary asked.
"That way, he'll be at Warlock Academy, where he'll be able to mature enough to handle the truth without flying off the handle." Jake said. "Okay. But no more after that." Mary said. "Agreed." Jake said, as they lay their heads on each other's shoulders, watching the embers in the fireplace slowly die out. However someone was watching them, planning on putting a wrench in their plans.
