We jumped over a balcony into Enchantra's garden. Yep, a balcony was one of the last obstacles on our way to Nicole. "Oh no!" Sabrina cried out. "What, what is it?" I said, panicked that I summoned a sword via the magic circle without knowing how or why. I soon saw what she was worried about. "Nicole!" We both cried out at the same time as we ran to her.

"Over there! I see them!" Kraven exclaimed. "I saw them first." The pig said before the two ran towards us. "Would you two quit it?!" I said as I threw three ki blasts at their feet, stopping them for a bit, but not for long.

"The amulet! Salem, I need the amulet!" Sabrina said, just as I felt three presences hiding. But I was more focused on my plan if the amulet didn't work. Sabrina put Salem's collar, which was the amulet, on Nicole. "Please let it work." Sabrina said. "Please whoever up there." I added. However, it wasn't working at all.

"It's didn't work." Sabrina said as Salem grabbed it and shook it. "Oh man, am I gonna get that Spike? I paid twenty bucks for this and nothing! Nada! Zilch!" Salem said angrily. "You bought it?!" Sabrina asked. "Is he going to get a piece of my fur!" Salem continued with his rant. "Good thing I wrote him a bad check." He added.

"But, you said you got it from the great gray tabby!" I said, pissed off. "It's a fake? The whole thing? The award? The great gray tabby and, none of it was real?!" Sabrina asked. "Well, not in so many words." Salem said, trying to make light of this. "Oh, what have I done?" Sabrina asked as she hugged Nicole. "I'm so sorry." Sabrina said with tears down her face, as did mines.

"Nicole, you were the best friend I ever had. And I lost you because I wanted to be a full witch. I wanted to be accepted." Sabrina said before looking pissed off. "And look where it got me. Well I don't want the power! I don't want to be a witch! I'll turn myself to stone." Sabrina said, only for me to stop her, which shocked her.

"Sabrina, no. Nicole needs someone she can trust, and I'm not that one person." I said, before pushing her backwards a bit and prepared to take away my warlock side. "Aaron, what are you doing?" Sabrina asked. "Fixing this. It what I planned the whole time. Everyone needs you back home, they don't need me." I said with a sad smile as I begin to do the spell.

I know it sounds so unlike me to say that, but it kind of true. The only one who would miss me would be my parents, the Spellmans and Salem, but no one else would miss me. Heck, Nicole haven't even completely forgiven me and while I don't blame her, it hurts.

Plus, at least this way I can kill two birds with one stone. Nicole would be back to normal and Madi can't have me at all. I know that counts as running away from my problems, but I was so desperate right then. "Aaron!" Sabrina and Salem cried out as they ran forward to stop me.

Madison's Perspective

"He's ruining everything. Alright, time for plan B." I said, shooting a blast of energy to Nicole.

Aaron's P.O.V.

"Stop!" Enchantra shouted in front of me, causing me to stop. "There is another way." Enchantra said as she used her magic to turn Nicole back to normal and Sabrina back into a half-witch. "N-Nicole?" I asked with tears in my eyes. "Nicole?" Sabrina asked. "Wow, that was the strangest thing. Sabrina? Aaron?" Nicole asked us. "Nicole!" We said as hugged her, and tears were streaming down my face freely.

"You're back. It's you! Nicole!" Sabrina said in joy. "You're safe!" I added as they looked at their palms, which showed their half stars. "Your star! It still half!" Nicole said to Sabrina. "And yours too! Isn't it great?" Sabrina said. They looked at me, which I held up my palm. My star was still half as well. "What happened? I feel awful stiff." Nicole asked us while rubbing her neck.

"Easy Nicole. We'll explain." I said as I wiped the tears from my face. "Hey, long story. First you were stone, then you weren't." Sabrina said. "Let's just say we broke in here to save you." I said. "Really? Well then, I forgive you, Aaron." Nicole said, giving me a warm smile.

"Enchantra reversed the spell. But how? Why?" Sabrina asked. "Why? Because you two learn a very valuable thing." Enchantra told Sabrina and I. "One which some witches and warlocks never learned. You learned the three principles of witchdom and warlockdom." She told us.

"A witch/warlock uses magic wisely. A witch/warlock is true to her/his friends." Sabrina and I recited. "And a witch/warlock..." Enchantra said, causing us to think before we remembered. "Is true to herself/himself." We finished. "And honesty, some of the girls and guys around here never figured that one out." Enchantra told us.

"At least, not truly. They never understand it deep inside. But you two do. My young friends, you have found something far more powerful than mere magic or natural abilities." Enchantra said. "We do?" Sabrina asked. "Like what?" Nicole asked. "A friendship that is strong enough to last forever. And whether witch, warlock or not, that's the thing most anyone would love to have." Enchantra said.

"So, what you're saying is we're basically..." I began. "Friends...", Sabrina continued the sentence. "Forever." Nicole finished as we hugged each other. Title drop. *Cinemasins Ding* Now where did that came from? Salem started crying of course. "What can I say, I'm a very emotional cat." Salem said. "Oh brother." Enchantra facepalmed.

"Well, I guess I better face my punishment now. I accept whatever punishment you and the Witch Council might give me." I said. "What are you talking about?" Enchantra asked. "You know, my punishment. For running off from Warlock Academy, pretending to a female, being a Witch Academy while the Netherworld mounted a search party for me." I said. "You're not getting punished for that." Enchantra said.

"Really?" I asked. "Yes. You might have a talking to from Alex, might have to do some catch up work, but not being punished by the Witch Council. Even if you yelled at Cassandra, my niece, which she needs a stern talking to by the way."Enchantra said, dropping that bombshell on me. "Wait, Cassandra's your niece?" I asked.

"Yes, and if anything bad would to happen to her because of you, then you would face punishment from me, that is, if you don't get killed by her mother first. Got it?!" Enchantra demanded. "Yes, got it. Nothing bad happens to Cassandra will come from me." I said meekly as I sweat-dropped. "However, I believe there are two people who want to talk to you." Enchantra said, just as my parents came out from the trees.

"Mom? Dad?" I asked as I ran to them, with their arms outstretched for a hug. "Aaron!" They cried out as I hugged them. "I missed you guys so much!" I said as tears were threatening to spill again. "We know. So did we." My dad said. "We heard everything from here. We're proud of you, yet how come you never told us you felt that way?" My mom said. I sighed. "Because of everything that happened last year," I said, before remembering the problem at hand.

"Mom? Dad? I have some more stuff to tell you. Good stuff, bad stuff and even worse stuff." I said as I begin to tell them everything that happened and what will happen soon. This is something I want to tell them right then and there instead of last minute. I wanted them to be prepared for when Madi decided to pop up and claim me as her prize.
