Aaron's P.O.V.-Friday Morning, Greendale Middle School
"I swear, mi amigos, it's the thrill ride to end all thrill rides. Word is, your hair'll uncurl and you'll puke your guts out." Pi said to Harvey and me, skating alongside us.
"Wow, cool!" Harvey told Pi.
"Definitely will check it out. Given how November been so far." I muttered the last part to myself, remembering the week waking up early, lied to about being part of a documentary contract, and Salem's claiming it was my fault for the 'incident'. I had shed more tears in the past four days than the past twelve years, and that's rarely happens.
As I stopped by my locker to sort through my stuff, Gem made a comment. "Gee, Spellman have the same effect on me." She and her fellow banshees laughed as Sabrina and Chloe were passing by, before stopping right next to me and my locker.
Sabrina zapped Gem's cart of school stuff, causing it to roll backwards and hit Gem's foot. Gem exclaimed in pain while hopping on one foot.
"Hey, you did that on purpose! Somehow." Gem said, crossing her arms.
"Mwah? But I'm way over here." Sabrina gloated, before turning around and trying to unlock her locker.
"Oh, this darn locker's stuck again." Sabrina complained, struggling to open it, before hitting it with her hip.
"When mines sticks, I call my personal locksmith. Oh, that's right. You don't have one." Gem said.
"Some of us think it's better to use our brains. Oh, that's right. You don't have one." Sabrina retorted, grabbing a book.
Gem was offended while trying to take a drink from the water fountain. How she's gotten there despite the fact I was looking between her and Sabrina, no one will know.
"Okay, okay. You win today's put down round. Woo, I wish you and Gem try hard to get along." Chloe told Sabrina as I poked my head from behind my locker door, horrified.
"Not gonna happen, Chloe. We're just too different. She's nasty, spoiled, and rich. I'm sweet, charming..." Sabrina said. "And a witch. Not that there anything wrong with that." Chloe added.
"Hey, nobody's perfect." Sabrina said, rummaging around her locker.
"I don't know, you two. If Sabrina and Gem were to hang out, we have two outcomes. The first is that Gem would be nice, which is impossible. The second outcome, which is most likely, is that we would have two Gems running around." I said to Sabrina and Chloe.
"Hey!" Sabrina said, taking offense. "I'm meaning, if Gem were to find out you were a witch, find a way to force you to make a clone of her, and then lock you up." I said. "Oh. Glad you know I won't be another Gem." Sabrina said. "Duh, I know you won't." I said.
"So, what about this new thrill ride at Wowee World? Maybe we ought to check it out." Sabrina suggested to us, closing her locker.
"I already am. Tomorrow, after Saturday school with Pi." Chloe said. "Maybe. Not sure. Need a small refresher after what the past two weeks entailed." I added.
In case if you're wondering, the school decided to have a school day...on a Saturday to make up for the three days of being closed. So, of course, we'll be in school on Saturday to make up for three whole days of not being here.
"Hey, maybe you two should ask Harvey. We can all go together." Chloe said. "Now that's a killer idea." Sabrina said.
"Eh, I rather not ask Harvey. I'll just figure something else." I said with a shrug as we walked down the hallway, before going in different directions.
As Sabrina and I continue down the hall, we heard a button being pushed, followed by the sound of a cart approaching us. It crashed into us, ending up with us screaming in a crazy cart that went out of the school door and smashing into a tree.
Did I mention how much I really, really hate Gem Stone? Good, because I really want to dump hot sauce with the voice of Tom Kenny down her stupid rich throat.
Sabrina and I skidded back inside the school, covered in tree branches and scratch marks, just as Gem got done talking to Harvey, Pi and Chloe about something and walked away.
"Sabrina? What happened?" Harvey asked, still ignoring me, as he had been doing since he was the butt of the joke for the whole class after the Halloween party.
"It's, um, my salute to spring. Uh, listen Harvey, how'd you like to try out that new ride at Wowee tomorrow?" Sabrina asked.
"Cool! I'd love to go, Sabrina!" Harvey answered.
"Great!" Sabrina said, happily.
"Except, Gem already asked me." Harvey added to his previous statement.
"Huh?" Sabrina asked.
"I guess you could come too, but, well, you and Gem don't exactly get along. Sorry." Harvey told Sabrina as he walked away, still ignoring me.
"Consider using some conditioner before going on a date, Sabrina. Oh, that's right. You don't have one. And my sweet Aaron, you can always come with me if you want." Gem said, walking past us.
Sabrina's P.O.V.-Sabrina's Living Room, after school
"And that's the eighty-fifth crummy thing she's done to me. The minute I become a full-fledged witch, I swear I'm turning her into a beanbag for life!" Sabrina ranted.
"A beanbag? Great. That cat bed is for the birds. Mm-hmm, now there's a tasty idea. Breakfast in bed." Salem said, surfing through the T.V. channels, metaphorically of course!
"When are you gonna apologize to Aaron? You did cause him to breakdown in tears, after all." Sabrina pointed out.
"As soon as Mary takes a chill pill patch." Salem said, remembering Mary's rage the day prior.
"After what you done to Aaron, who was justified for it, might I add, who can blame her for being a proper mother to him?" Zelda asked from the kitchen.
Before Salem says anything else that may sink him, Zelda turn her attention towards Sabrina's situation.
"You know, Sabrina, there is another way to deal with this." Zelda said, using magic to turn wilted flowers into roses.
"Why not use the opposite approach? Take the high road." Zelda suggested, sitting on the chair opposite of the couch.
"You mean, leave town?" Sabrina asked, confused.
"I mean, make friends with Gem." Zelda corrected.
"Suure. And after that, why not a little pinochle with Attila the Hun?" Salem asked sarcastically.
"I don't think so, Aunt Zelda. We're just too different." Sabrina said.
"Trust me, just try it. Think of something that'll bring the two of you closer together. When people put aside their differences, they can do remarkable things. After all, you and Aaron know that really well." Zelda said as Hilda walked in the room, carrying the vase of roses.
"That's true. Remember the Wright Brothers, Zelda? Those guys couldn't stand each other until I help them patch things up." Hilda said.
"You mean you put a spell on them to bring them together?" Sabrina asked.
"Not exactly. They finally buried the hatchet because they both couldn't stand Hilda." Zelda said, as she remembered that whole thing.
Flashback-A century ago
"Everytime they ride their bikes to work, she'd chase them on her broomstick." Zelda explained, as it show the Wright Brothers pedaling away from Hilda, who, despite being young, had wrinkles under her eyes.
"She had a crush on Orville." Zelda continued. "He was a babe." Hilda added.
"So they invented the airplane just to get away from her." Zelda finished, as the Wright Brothers jumped on the airplane and took off, as Hilda chased after them.
Present day
"Not true! Orvie had a thing for me." Hilda claimed, denying what happened as Zelda smirked.
"Yeah, a restraining order." Zelda said.
"Did not!" Hilda retorted, zapping donkey ears on Zelda.
"Did too!" Zelda said back, zapping a pig snout on Hilda.
"Did not!
"Did too!
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did!"
"Not!"
"Did!"
"Not!"
Sabrina looked back and forth, stopping once Hilda was a pig and Zelda was a donkey. "*Sighs* So much for togetherness." Sabrina said.
Later-Sabrina's Bedroom
"Making friends with Gem? Oh, a revolting idea. On the other hand, it might not hurt to get along with her for just one day. That way, I could go with everyone to Wowee World and make sure Harvey goes on all the rides with me. Everything would be great." Sabrina said, floating over her bed via magic.
"So would a beanbag bed." Salem said, still thinking about his idea.
"But I don't know. Making friends with that stuck up, conniving, spoiled Gemini Stone would take-" Sabrina began, while trying to come up with something.
Heap, big magic?" Salem asked, causing Sabrina to lose focus and fall, though luckily she fell on her bed.
"You said it." Sabrina pointed at Salem. "Lucky for you, I still have a few little tricks up my furry sleeves." Salem said.
"Will any of those tricks make you apologize to Aaron for breaking him yesterday?" Sabrina asked.
"Nope." Salem said. "Worth a shot." Sabrina said as Salem ran off the bed and back in the span of a blink of a eye, with a book under his arm.
However, his back made a cracking sound. "Do cats get hernia?" Salem asked. "If they don't apologize to people they wrong, yeah." Sabrina snarked.
"Anyway," Salem said, ignoring the bait to retort, "let's see. Thunder, toads. Here it is, togetherness. Guaranteed to bring two people close together. You just sprinkle some stuff on Gem and yourself, then say a few words." Salem said.
"Gee, I don't know. Casting a spell on myself? Sounds kinda like taking out my own tonsils." Sabrina said.
"Okay, I admit that did not work out well. But trust me on this. Just hold the pouch." Salem told Sabrina, as a empty pouch appear in front of her, allowing her to grab it.
"A pinch of newt sweat. Supalm of henbane. Dragon lint. This and that and chicken fat. Viola!" Salem said, after adding the ingredients together to make the magic potion.
"That's it?" Sabrina asked. "What do you want, David Copperfield? Just sprinkle a pinch on you and Gem, then recite this incantation. Bingo! Guaranteed togetherness." Salem explained.
"Seems like you could use some of this for yourself, to fix the rift between you and Aaron." Sabrina pointed out.
"Hey, we been at odds with one another for years. Not my fault he couldn't handle a few remarks about his mistakes." Salem said.
"And you wonder why we never told you about what happened! This is why Aaron's mom is mad at you! Because you won't admit you're wrong to assume Aaron didn't mess up skiing, but nearly die! Why can't you, for once in your nine lives, swallow your pride and apologize for your lack of tact?!" Sabrina demanded.
It was the second time Sabrina blew up at Salem, and for the second time, it had everything to do with Aaron. And for the second time, Salem was speechless as Sabrina was breathing heavily.
"I-I-I," Salem stuttered, unable to add anymore to that.
"Why is it so hard to own up to your mistakes and apologize? That's what you told Aaron and me yesterday, and with the whole Chester incident, yet you don't do the same. You two have some good times, too. Don't throw it all away because of stupid man pride." Sabrina pleaded to Salem.
"Fine, but only because these emotional outbursts if yours are terrifying. Anyways, dust, incantation, togetherness." Salem said, getting back on track.
"I don't know. I better test this out." Sabrina said, knowing who to try it out on.
A minute later-Living Room
Sabrina and Salem walked in the room, to see Hilda and Zelda still arguing while using magic on each other. The thing that surprised Sabrina was that Aaron was sitting on the couch, clearly enjoying the scene, given the popcorn he had next to him while Hilda and Zelda, who were now pizzas for some reason, were chasing each other.
Deciding not to question Aaron, something she learned over the years being his friend, Sabrina sprinkle the dust on Pizza Hilda and Pizza Zelda.
"Be as close as close can be, fast as I say one, two, three," said Sabrina, reciting the incantation and snapping her fingers as Pizza Hilda and Pizza Zelda were turn back to normal, with their arms interlocked.
"Oh, how about I buy you dinner at the mall?" Hilda asked Zelda. "Only if I get to take you shopping, sister dear." Zelda said, as she and Hilda left, laughing.
"Wow, this stuff really worked. Salem, you're a genius." Sabrina praised the cat. even pinching his cheeks as thanks.
"Well, glad Salem's a genius...at breaking people." Aaron said sarcastically from the couch.
Sabrina and Salem turn to face the couch, which Aaron was on, crossing his arms. They forgot he was still there!
"Aaron, I didn't mea-" Sabrina began, only to be silenced by Aaron's hand in the air.
"Look, I don't know what's going on here. I'm just here to tell you a couple of things, Sabreeny." Aaron said, as Sabrina and Salem sat down on the chair, the former curious, the latter terrified.
"First of all, I decided to not go to Wowee World." Aaron said, causing Sabrina to jump up from the chair.
"Is it because of Gem and me fighting?! Aaron, I have something that'll fi-" Sabrina began to explain, only for Aaron to put his hands on her shoulder and ease her back on the chair.
"No, it's not that. It's just, things between Harvey and me are a bit...tense, to put it nicely. Not to mention the entire class will be going there, and Gem will stop at nothing just to have me be with her. I don't want to ruin a fun weekend for you. Plus, I have some homework to get caught up on." Aaron assured.
"Okay. And the second thing?" Sabrina asked, before remembering something. Future Ares told her that he and Future Strife took Aaron when everyone went out. Is this it?
No, of course not! First of all, Sabrina knows Aaron's parents are worried about Aaron, especially after what happened in the past week. And second, that god of war said it was when Sabrina went on vacation with her whole family when they done it, not her going to Wowee World with friends.
Plus, there is no way that can happen. No matter what, Aaron will never become that horrible person in the future; the future's not set in stone after all.
"And second, I want you to know I agree with you." Aaron said, causing Sabrina to be pull out of her thoughts and tense up a bit.
Did he read her mind and know what she was thinking? Did he broke their promise when they were six, about him not reading her mind unless she gives permission?
"I think you shouldn't make friends with Gem." Aaron added, as Sabrina relaxed her body again, only to remember her plan.
"Y-You do?" Sabrina asked. "Yeah. Gem's an awful person, and I don't get why Harvey and Chloe wants you to be friends with her all of a sudden." Aaron said.
"Thanks, Aaron." Sabrina said. "You're welcome. Now, if there's nothing else, I'll see you at school tomorrow." Aaron said, about to leave.
Sabrina was about to tell Aaron her plan, that she plans on using a togetherness spell to make friends with Gem to go to Wowee World, but she decided not to.
Aaron already suffered being forced into a documentary due to Clint lying about the contract and Salem being a hypocrite just for not knowing about the incident. Imagine what'll happen this time if he does know the facts.
Maybe, that's also why she never told him and Chloe about what happened when she went to the future, because maybe being told will turn Aaron into a v-
No! Why is she thinking that? Okay, so Aaron have shown signs of not having a handle on his temper at times, anyone who suffered from that Christmas disaster and nearly being killed by an avalanche would have issues with their emotions too!...right?
Just as Sabrina was battling her raging thoughts, Salem scramble off the chair and grovel in front of Aaron, confusing him.
"Please accept my apology and don't kill me! I didn't know about the incident and if I did, I would've never mocked you about it! Just please don't kill me-eee-eee!" Salem pleaded while turning into a mess.
"Salem, do I look like a god?" Aaron asked, raising an eyebrow.
"N-No." Salem stuttered out.
"And do I look like I just went to El Dorado, pretending to be one just to take gold?" Aaron continued.
"No." Salem said, raising his head up a bit.
"Then get up, because I'm not gonna kill you." Aaron said, as Salem got up.
"B-B-But-" Salem stuttered.
"And I accept your apology. However, if you ever mocked me about how I failed without knowing the facts again, I'm duct-taping fish on you and throwing you in that dumpster where the alley cats like to meet on Sundays. And I'm not responsible for any injuries you sustain this time." Aaron warned.
"Noted." Salem said, scared.
"Good. See you tomorrow, Sabreeny." Aaron said as he left.
Saturday-Greendale Middle School, Homeroom
Sabrina, Chloe and Aaron walked to our desks and sat down, Aaron sitting being behind Chloe's desk.
"Harvey, over here!" Sabrina called out, waving Harvey, who just walked in with Pi, to the desk on her right.
Just as Harvey waved back, Gem stood up from her desk and took the one that Sabrina was reserving for Harvey.
"Hey!" Sabrina protested. "Thanks for saving me a seat, Harvey." Gem said, ignoring Sabrina.
"Huh? O-Oh, you're welcome." Harvey said as he and Pi went to sit in the back row as Sabrina gave Gem a deadpan expression.
"Love your shoes, Spellman. You'll have to give me the name of your thrift store." Gem mocked.
"No problem, Gem. It's right next door to your groomer." Sabrina said with a straight face, causing Gem to scowl at Sabrina.
"Class, in going over yesterday's poetry writing assignment, I was pleased to discover some very promising young poets among you. One poem, in particular, had imagery worthy of a poet laureate." The teacher said.
"It better. I paid someone big bucks to write it for me," Gem whispered/bragged to Sabrina.
"It was truly remarkable in its meson's stance, it's glorification of the first person," The teacher continued.
"Say, Spellman, as long as you don't have a date, why don't you go home and write a poem, all about being a loser?" Gem asked, putting her hand over her mouth so that only Sabrina can hear while laughing.
"Ugh! All right, that's it! It's now or never!" Sabrina said under her breath as she pulled out the pouch.
"Class, I would like you all to have a chance," The teacher began, as Sabrina began sprinkling the dust and started reciting, "be as close as close can be," as the teacher continued with, "to hear this remarkable poem read by the author," as Sabrina continued the spell, "fast as I say, one, two," just as the teacher says, "Gemini Stone," causing Gem to stand up and interrupt the spell.
"Me?! Oh, I'm so surprise." Gem said, not surprised at all and not even noticing the magic dust covering her and Sabrina.
"Uh oh." Chloe said, seeing the results of the dust's effects.
A green, sticky slime thing was on Sabrina and Gem's elbow, keeping them stuck together like glue...or duct tape.
"Hey, let go!" Gem snapped at Sabrina, trying to get her arm unstuck.
"I-I can't." Sabrina said, dumbfounded by what happened.
"What do you mean, you can't? Spellman, if you don't let go this second," Gem pulled her arm towards her, also pulling Sabrina, causing them to bump into each other.
"I'm telling you, I can't. We-We're stuck together!" Sabrina said, realizing the issue at hand.
The entire class, sans Aaron, Chloe, Pi and Harvey(kinda), laughed at the whole situation happening in front of them.
"Whoa, definitely X-File worthy." Pi said. "What's an X-File?" Aaron asked Pi, due to the latter sitting next to the former.
"Mi amigo, this is why we need to hang out. You don't question it, it questions you." Pi said, as Aaron was more confused by that. "Um, okay?" Aaron said with a shrug.
"Stuck together? What are you talking about? And what is this green gunk, anyway?" Gem asked.
"Um, must've got it on my arm from science class. I guess it was still tacky." Sabrina said.
"And so are you." Gem snapped.
"Gemini, we're all waiting." The teacher said, not knowing what happened.
"Sabrina Spellman, you're just trying to ruin my moment. Well, you're not going to." Gem said, pissed off and pulling Sabrina, who only had enough time to sent Chloe and Aaron a 'help me' look. They both gave her confused shrugs, not sure how to fix this.
The entire class, excluding Aaron, Chloe and Pi, once again, laughed at the sight of Gem pulling Sabrina.
"Ow, quit pulling!" Sabrina protested. "Keep up!" Gem countered as they went to the front of the class.
"Thank you, Ms. Drone On And On. Here, Spellman. Make yourself useful." Gem said, putting the huge stack of poetry in Sabrina's hands.
Gem grabbed the first paper off the stack and began reading. "'Gemini, you cutie pie. An epic love poem to myself. My eyes are as brown as the silk dark sea, cast down from the heights of destiny.'" Gem read, as Sabrina know how long it'll take.
Two and a half hours later
The nurse tried using scissors to cut through the green gunk, only for the scissors to break, much to the the nurse, Sabrina and Gem's shock.
Later, in workshop class, the teacher tried using a handsaw to cut it, only for it to break in the middle. The teacher put the handsaw away and pulled out a chainsaw, only for Sabrina and Gem to decide that was a bit extreme and left.
Soon, they went to the science classroom. "This should solve it," said Sabrina, mixing chemicals and pouring the mixture on the gunk. The chemical did nothing but cause soot to appear on Sabrina and Gem's face, with Gem scowling at Sabrina.
"*Snorts* I'm getting separation anxiety, Spellman! I want to be separated! NOW!" Gem demanded, pointing her finger in Sabrina's face.
"Relax, will ya? I'm sure the spe-uh, stuff, will just wear off by itself. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow." Sabrina rationalized.
"Great. But I have a date with Harvey today." Gem retorted, leaving the science room.
"Well then, I guess I'm coming along too!" Sabrina said, being pulled along.
After school, Wowee World
Sabrina, Gem, Chloe, Harvey and Pi were standing in line to get into Wowee World; Sabrina and Gem are still stuck together.
"Cyah. Let me get this straight again, muchachos, you're stuck together because of bad chemistry?" Pi asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Gem said snobbishly, crossing her arms and turning away.
"Hey, I'm starved. How about some corn dogs?" Sabrina asked.
"Yuck! I hate corn dogs! I want cotton candy!" Gem demanded, like a spoiled brat.
"Ew, how sticky sweet." Sabrina said, remembering the last time she had cotton candy, she and Aaron were five. It was messy.
"Oh, what do you know?" Gem asked, walking off and pulling Sabrina along.
Soon, they were eating their respective snacks.
"Just keep that sloppy fluff away from me." Sabrina told Gem.
"Don't worry, Spellman. I'm not into sharing." Gem said, pulling Sabrina along.
I wonder how Aaron's doing? Sabrina asked in her head.
Meanwhile-Aaron's P.O.V.-Aaron's Bedroom, Dimension Residence
"Doing homework is boring, but a must. And talking to oneself is supposedly a sign of insanity." I muttered to myself.
I picked up a random book about how to be social, deciding to practice my comedy routines(you never know when a joke might save your life someday).
"Yeah? Look, I don't have time to make friends, I have homework to do." I said, before grabbing a manga, Kingdom Hearts was the title of it.
"What? Well boo hoo, at least you can wield a giant key and hang out with Disney character." I said, before picking up my Spanish textbook.
"Hello? Sorry, I don't speak Spanish, you gotta speak in English." I said, slamming it down.
"I'm creative when I'm lonely. Either that, or I'm becoming insane...nah, I'm creative." I decided, continuing the boring school work.
Sabrina and Gem's P.O.V.-Wowee World
"All right, won't be long now." Harvey said as they moved up in line.
"Hey, where's Chloe? She's gonna missed the ride," said Sabrina, noticing Chloe wasn't with them.
"She got bored waiting in line," said Pi, pointing at where Chloe is, holding two stuffed bears and winning another game, gaining two more.
"She's into cleaning out the park." Pi said, as Chloe laughed. That is, until the person in charged close down the game, prompting Chloe to respond with a "Hey!" as she walked back to the others.
"Come on, Chloe, we're going in!" Sabrina called out, before getting dragged in.
"You go on! I'm setting free the bear, for Aaron!" Chloe said, putting the money on the counter for another game. The man gulped, recounting how Chloe done this for the past four years, and Aaron joining her during three of those years.
Ten minutes later
Sabrina, Harvey and Gem were screaming on a roller coaster, going at all angles, with Pi sitting behind them.
The ride soon end, with Harvey and Pi being the only one who enjoyed it. Sabrina's face had cotton candy on it, and both she and Gem were plain miserable.
"Oh man, that was awesome!" Harvey exclaimed.
"Yeah, great. Nothing beats cotton candy up your nose at warp 10," Sabrina said sarcastically, tearing the cotton candy off her face in wads.
Harvey jumped out of the roller coaster as Pi ran up to the three and high-fived Harvey.
"Faboo. Let's do it again, dude." Pi suggested to Harvey.
Soon, the four were on the roller coaster once again, screaming.
"Yee haw!" Harvey whooped as the ride ended, while Sabrina and Gem groaned.
"Now I see why Aaron hates roller coasters." Sabrina groaned "Yeah, it's sickening." Gem added, agreeing with Sabrina for once.
"Man, it just gets better everytime!" Pi said, running up to Harvey.
"Yeah! Let's go again! Prove that roller coasters are fun!" Harvey said, clearly hearing that part about Aaron and deciding to prove Aaron's opinions wrong(even though he's not there!).
"Harvey, it's already been six times!" Sabrina said, deciding enough was enough.
"Hey, I'm up for a pardon." Pi said.
"Of course, if you want to chicken out, Spellman, I guess I have to, too." Gem goaded Sabrina, which worked.
"Oh, no, I'm up for doing this *swallows down her pride...and bile* all day. Unless, of course, you're not." Sabrina said as Harvey smiled at the two girls.
"Me? I just love this ride." Gem said, as she clearly regrets goading Sabrina into staying on the roller coaster.
"Great!" Harvey exclaimed, glad that they choose not to follow through Aaron's opinion. He even ignored their deadpan expressions they gave him.
The four scream while riding the roller coaster: Harvey and Pi's were screams of joy, Sabrina and Gem's were that of fear. The rode the same ride for hours on end. It got so bad that at one point, Gem and Sabrina tried to leave, only for Harvey to push them onto the ride again.
"Twenty-five times? Oh yeah!" bragged Harvey at one point as he and Pi pumped their fists into the air, while Sabrina and Gem were trying not to vomit. "Yeah." The two groaned out.
Finally, when the sun began to set, they were finally done as Sabrina and Gem slowly climbed out of the ride, groaning and moaning and trying to keep their snacks down.
"Are there two of you?" Gem asked, dizzy from the ride she was seeing multiple Sabrinas.
"If there are, we're both ready to barf." Sabrina replied, swaying on her feet.
Gem nearly fainted, only for Sabrina to catch her.
"Come on, dudettes! We're going for the park record!" Pi stated, not noticing Sabrina and Gem's conditions.
"Yeah! Twenty-six and counting!" Harvey added, intentionally ignoring their current states since he wants to prove Aaron's opinions wrong, regardless of Sabrina and Gem's wellbeing.
Sabrina and Gem, not wanting to go on the ride ever again, were trying to find excuses not to, only for Gem to come up with one.
"Uh, uh, uh, corn dog." Gem said, pointing in the random direction.
"Corn dog? Oh, right. We need corn dogs." Sabrina said, catching on to Gem's plan.
"I thought you hated corndogs?" Harvey asked Gem.
"Me? No. I love them. Yum." Gem said, hamming it up.
"All the basic food groups on a stick." Sabrina added.
"Nature's miracle. Gotta have one." Gem said.
"But-But you might miss the ride." Harvey said, worried that they were following Aaron's beliefs on roller coasters.
"Oh, uh, that's okay. Really, just start without us." Sabrina said.
"Yeah, we should be gone for quite a while." Gem added as she and Sabrina ran away from Harvey and Pi, away from that god-forsaken roller coaster.
"Hey, no prob! We'll still be here, riding this monster till closing time, right dude?" Pi asked Harvey. "Hey!" Harvey agreed, high-fiving Pi and forgetting about Aaron for the rest of the day.
Three minutes later
"Two corn dogs, please." Sabrina asked the person in charge of the food, as she and Gem were standing in front of the food stand.
"Hey, Sabrina! Hope you guys are having much fun as I am! See ya." Chloe said, pushing a cart of stuffed bears.
"Good thinking. That was close." Sabrina told Gem.
"Yeah, too close." Gem said, taking a corn dog.
Aaron would be jealous of how much stuffed bears Chloe 'set free', he usually free more than she does. Sabrina said in her head.
Aaron's P.O.V.-Aaron's Bedroom, Dimension's Household
I picked up a book about physics, working on physics homework. I was almost done with all this homework.
"What? Yeah, I know this makes no fucking sense!" I ranted, before grabbing a pillow and screaming.
Meanwhile, downstairs-Jake and Mary's P.O.V.
"Did you heard Aaron swore?" Jake asked Mary, the two making dinner for the first time in months.
"Yeah. He must be having a heated discussion with someone on the internet. Either that, or he found something that doesn't make sense." Mary said.
"Like homework? I was the same when I was his age." Jake said. "So, you cuss too?" Mary asked, causing Jake to be silent for a moment.
"...Maybe." Jake admitted without shame, smirking at Mary's shocked expression.
Sabrina and Gem's P.O.V.-Wowee World
"Harvey and Pi are still looking, better take a bite." Sabrina told Gem, noticing that Harvey and Pi are looking at them.
Gem forced herself to take a bite of the corn dog. "Ugh!" Gem exclaimed in disgust.
"Try it with mustard." Sabrina said, pushing the mustard towards Gem.
Soon, the two were done eating their corn dogs and tossing the sticks in the trash.
"See? That wasn't so bad." Sabrina told Gem.
"Don't push your luck, Spellman. If I get sick, you're in the line of fire." Gem warned.
"Hey, there's Chloe!" Sabrina said, pointing at Chloe, who was driving a forklift to carry a crate of stuffed bears.
"I'll bring half of these to Aaron, along with bragging about how I beat his record!" Chloe declared while laughing.
"Let's go hang with her." Sabrina said, only for Gem to pull her back.
"Not until we go on my favorite ride." Gem said, pointing to the 'Ferry to Sappy Happy Elf Isle', shocking Sabrina.
"Come on, boys and girls. The next ferry is leaving to Sappy Happy Elf Isle." A animatronic elf said in a high-pitched voice, as Sabrina and Gem ran to get on the ferry.
Ten minutes later
"Oh, I will make you smile
"Till the day is gone
"Why don't you stay awhile, make you smile" Elf animatronics sang as they do a bunch of random stuff.
"And I thought the Centra-luge was stomach turning." Sabrina said as she and Gem ran around.
"Do they sing all the time? Don't they take a mechanical potty break?" Sabrina asked as Gem sang along.
"Oh, I just love this place!" Gem gushed.
"Argh! What's the punishment for killing an elf in this state?" asked Sabrina.
"Oh, the diamond mine!" exclaimed Gem, ignoring Sabrina's question and pointing at said mine. Gem ran in, pulling Sabrina behind her.
As the two entered the diamond mines, more elf animatronics appeared out of nowhere, singing again as Gem sang along.
"And this is why Aaron avoids this place, besides the comment about how he'll vomit rainbow, puppies and kittens," Sabrina commented under her breath, as she covered her ears, hoping to drown out the singing.
Until she noticed something. "Uh oh, either this place is making me crazy, or this thing's getting harder." Sabrina said, commenting about the magic green gunk keeping her and Gem together.
"I'd better talk to Salem." Sabrina said as Gem sang along, not noticing what Sabrina was talking about.
"Come on, Gem, let's get off this island. I need to use a payphone." Sabrina said.
Gem, not wanting to leave, and especially not wanting to be caught being near Sabrina as the latter use a payphone(a cheap option), holds out her phone while still singing along.
Sabrina dialed her house number, hoping Salem would pick up, which he did.
After she explained what happened, which took ten minutes, Sabrina heard from over the phone Salem searching through a book to figure out how to fix this.
"And now the goop is getting hard, huh? Hey, I'm sure it's nothing serious. Let's see. Nope, nothing here but a big old catnip stain. *Lick*" Sabrina heard Salem licked the catnip, and shuddered in disgust.
However, what Salem said next made things worst. "Uh oh. 'Warning, over-sprinkling can cause severe side effects, which will be permanent!' " Salem read.
"*Gasp* Permanent?!" Sabrina asked, looking realizing the disasters of being stuck to Gem...forever!
"Salem, are you saying that Gem and I are gonna be attached to each other, permanently?!" Sabrina asked.
"Wait, there more! 'which will be permanent unless reversed within eight hours. See your local witch or warlock immediately.' I-I guess in this case, that's furry little me." Salem finished.
"Can you figure something out?" Sabrina asked.
"I'll try. Just be back here before the eight hours are up." Salem said.
Sabrina looked down at her watch, knowing she still had at least a couple of hours to get back to the house so Salem can reverse the spell.
"No problem. I've got plenty of time." Sabrina told Salem.
"No you don't! You're on my dime!" Gem said, grabbing her phone back.
"Hey, I'm not through!" Sabrina snapped, grabbing the phone back.
"Yes you are! Daddy says my cellphone bills is high enough." Gem said as she and Sabrina began fighting over the phone, until the phone flew out of their hands and broke on the ground.
"Now look at what you did, Spellman!" Gem snapped.
"Sorry." Sabrina apologized.
She and Gem bent down to pick up the broken phone, only to hit each other heads. "Ow!" exclaimed Sabrina, as she and Gem rubbed their heads.
"Gem, we've gotta go back, I mean it!" Sabrina stated.
"Oh yeah? Well, I'm not through yet." Gem said, still not wanting to leave, before singing once again.
Sabrina clamped a hand over Gem's mouth, shutting her up.
"Listen. See how hard this goop is turning?" Sabrina asked, as Gem nodded.
"If we don't get it off, it might turn solid and we'd be stuck together forever." Sabrina explained, taking her hand off Gem's mouth.
"But you said it'll wear off-" Gem began.
"Yeah, I know, but what do I know? I just talked to, uh, my uncle and he has some, uh, solvent that might get it off right now. But if we wait much longer," Sabrina said, knowing that Gem would go if she knew there was a way to get the gunk off.
"Well, why didn't you say so? The sooner I can get free of you, the better." Gem said, turning her head away from Sabrina. "Elf hater," She added.
"Fine, we're out of here. This way." Sabrina said, going in one direction.
"Wrong. I know this place better than my father's bank balance," Gem said, pulling Sabrina in the opposite direction.
The two walked down the direction for minutes, only to end up at a dead-end.
"Been to a ATM lately? This way." Sabrina said, dragging Gem.
After a couple more minutes, they ended up at another dead-end.
"I should've known better than to listen to you! This way!" Gem exclaimed, going in one direction.
"No, this way!" Sabrina argued, pulling Gem back towards her. The two were in a pulling match that last half an hour.
Forty-five minutes Later
Sabrina and Gem ran out from a bush, panting over the past fifteen minutes of running they've done.
"Oh, great! Nice work, Spellman. You made us miss the boat!" Gem snapped.
"Me?! Half of those wrong turns were yours! I've fallen over every elf on Muddy Pretty Island." Sabrina snapped back.
"Never mind, there's a boat every 20 minutes." Gem sighed as she and Sabrina sat on a bench, waiting for the next boat as more elf animatronics popped out of nowhere to begin singing.
Salem's P.O.V.-Sabrina's Bedroom
"I can't find the antidote! What am I suppose to do? I'm only a cat." Salem panicked.
"Sabrina, we brought you some-Salem, is there something wrong?" Zelda asked, as she and Hilda walked in Sabrina's room, wearing their Witches' Ball outfits.
"Uh, nothing really. I just need a little reverse togetherness spell, for me, of course." Salem said, not really lying, but not telling the truth either.
"A reverse togetherness spell?" Hilda and Zelda asked.
"Uh, why do you two think you've been chummy so lately?" Salem asked nervously, as they realized that.
Sabrina and Gem's P.O.V.-Sappy Happy Elf Isle, Wowee World
Gem was singing again as Sabrina covered her ears, wondering when this torment will end. Sabrina checked her watch, realizing how long it's been.
"It's been 25 minutes! Where's that boat?!" Sabrina asked, irritated.
"Shh. Just look at that little elf. No wonder he's always smiling, he just works all day alongside his teeny tiny papa." Gem said, as she watched the moment.
"No one expects him to dress for success or be the most popular or do anything but make shoes." Gem admitted the stress her father puts on her.
"I know what you mean. My mom always expected me to get straight A's, to be tops of my class. That is, when she's here, visiting. At least your folks are around." Sabrina lamented, before pulling away a leaf and seeing that the last boat was at 5:00 P.M., an half-hour ago.
"'Ferry leaves every 20 minutes. Last boat 5:00 P.M.'?! Gem, it's 5:30, that was the last boat back!" Sabrina exclaimed, standing up and pulling Gem up with her.
"Perfect, the one you made us miss! I better call my dad, he'll get us out of here," Gem retorted, pulling out her phone and dialing her father's number, only for it to break again.
"Hey, my new phone!" Gem lamented, throwing it in the water.
"Spellman, this is all your-Hey, this stuff is getting harder!" Gem said, realizing the issue at hand.
"I told you! We need to get off this island and back to my house, now!" exclaimed Sabrina.
"There's no way! It's impossible!" Gem argued.
"Not if we work together. I mean, we got out of Centra-luge ride 26 with a corn dog, didn't we? Come on, give me a hand. We could use this log for a raft." Sabrina said as she and Gem push the log bench into the water, only for it to sink.
"Great, a cement log. Something on this island has to float, right?" asked Sabrina.
Ten minutes later
"Kick, paddle. Kick, paddle. Kick, paddle," chanted Sabrina and Gem, as they used the elves animatronics to swim from the island back to the mainland.
"Couldn't we have tied them together, facedown?" Sabrina asked, fed up with the singing.
"Shark!" Gem pointed. "Shark?" Sabrina repeated as they saw a mechanical shark rose out from the water.
"It can't hurt, it's just mechanical." Sabrina said, tempting fate as the shark swam towards her and Gem.
"Abandon elf!" Sabrina and Gem shouted in unison as they attempted to jump in different directions, only to be pulled back towards each other.
"Gem, together, go left!" Sabrina shouted as she and Gem jumped to their left, narrowly avoiding getting chomped down by a mechanical shark.
"Yes!" The two cheered, high-fiving each other, before remembering they hate each other's guts.
"Uh, we're not out of here yet, Spellman." Gem said as she and Gem began swimming and chanting again.
They panted heavily as they climbed up on the docks for the ferry service.
"Made it!" Gem said, before looking at Sabrina.
"Spellman, you look awful." Gem stated.
"Hey, we're in a lot better shape than the shark." Sabrina pointed out as they looked to see the shark short-circuiting, causing them to laugh.
An hour later-Bathroom, Spellman's Residence
Hilda and Zelda were stirring up the antidote to the togetherness spell as Gem looked disgusted and back up.
"Uh uh, no way." Gem said, shaking her head no.
"Sorry, but this is the only thing that'll do the job." Zelda pointed out calmly.
Salem, panicked, shook Sabrina's arm to get her attention and pointed at her watch, which shows that she and Gem only had minutes left to get the spell off.
"Hey, it's either that or-" Sabrina began, knowing Gem will agree after thinking of the alternative.
"Okay! On three. One, two," Gem began, before Sabrina smiled and jumped in the tub, pulling Gem in with her.
"Ugh! *Spits* Ew, what happened to three?! Spellman, you're gonna hear from my lawyer!" Gem yelled, splashing some of the antidote in Sabrina's face.
"Oh, you think I enjoyed it? Not!" Sabrina countered, splashing some in Gem's face.
However, the two realized their arms didn't came up at the same time.
"Hey, we're free!" The two exclaimed happily.
"And I hope you two learned that the only way to accomplish anything is to put aside your differences and find out what you have in common." Zelda lectured.
"Well, I hate to admit it, but deep down, I kinda like those platform shoes." Sabrina admitted.
"Yeah, well, that corn dog didn't taste quite as toxic as I thought it would. Especially with mustard." Gem admitted.
Sabrina and Gem stepped out of the tub, accepting towels from Hilda and Zelda. However, they heard a horn honk from outside.
"Well, that's my limo." Gem said.
"You wanna borrow some of my clothes?" Sabrina asked.
"And risk having someone see me in them? As if." Gem said, dropping the towel and leaving, slamming the bathroom door behind her.
"I guess this friendship thing is gonna be harder than I thought." Sabrina said.
"Oh, I don't know. I think you've made a good start." Zelda said.
"You know, this goop wasn't what freed you. The only real way to break this particular spell is for the two people to learn to cooperate together!" Hilda confessed.
"What?! Then why did you need us to jump in that guck?" Sabrina asked, as Salem jumped into Sabrina's arms.
"Hey, Hilda's baking a cake. She needed someone to stir the batter." Salem explained.
Meanwhile-Aaron's P.O.V.-Aaron's Bedroom, Dimension's Residence
"Finally, done with all this homework!" I said, glad to finally be done with all of that.
Just then, I heard some rocks hitting the window. I opened it to see...Chloe driving a crane!
Wait, she's driving a crane, and that crane is carrying three crates full of stuffed bears. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO!
"Hey, Aaron. I broke your record from last year. As a consolation prize, I'm giving you half of these freed bears." Chloe said as the three crates went in the window.
I only have one thing to say in that situation while being piled on by the 'freed bears'. "MY PRECIOUS RECORD, BROKEN! NOOOOOO!"
