Author's Note:
Hello again readers, I hope you all had enjoy your holidays.
Some of you may or may not have noticed this but I have made some changes within the story. Two chapters have been split into two, a few had minor to major changes (mainly chapter one), some have been moved down, and a new one (chapter 53) has been added over the break. I also decided to divided the story into acts. First chapter of every act will always be a foreshadowing chapter of the event to come.
Okay, now that we had that out of the way, let's get back to the story.

Chapter 62:
Spell and Web Casters
...

"Alright class, today the two of you will be learning how to cast a spell,"
Luigi and Junior shared a glance at each other before staring back at Kammy. It's been about a week since the Junior's birthday party. Since that day, Luigi had recently started studying magic under Kammy's guidance for the time being.
The female magikoopa had just started teaching Junior basic sorcery lessons so Kamek thought she might as well take in another student for the time being – killing two birds with one stone. The book he need for class was the last book Kamek gave him, 'Sorcery for Beginners'. He scanned through it before class, just to get a good idea on the subject ahead.
The book was the biggest of the three given to him, being almost twice the size of the other two. It featured a lot of information; from creating and casting effective spells to potion-brewing to the magic properties of herbs and gemstones. It also discuss on traditions, and symbols and offers step-by-step methods for performing rituals.
At this moment, both he and Junior were in the classroom with Kammy who was about to teach them something new.
"Now, the spell I'm going to teach you is a very simple transformation spell," She began. "First pick up your wands and hold it like so, say the magic word and point the wand at the target object...Let me demonstrate."
Kammy pull out a small rock and her wand from her robe. She placed the rock on a desk and pointed her wand towards it while saying the magic words,
"Reformabit,"
The gem on her scepter glowed and then the rock. Seconds later, the rock was transformed into a ruby.
"Just keep the image of what you want to transform the object into in your mind and the spell will handle the rest. Now, it's your turn..."
Junior went first. He picked up the training wand in front of his desk and held it in his hand. He pointed it at the rock and repeated the words,
"Reformabit!"
A small light appear at the end of the wand but nothing happened. Junior grunted and tried again, only to get the same result.
"Hey, it's not working,"
"Be patience," Kammy said. "I don't expect you to get on the first try."
Luigi tried it next. He picked up the wand and pointed it at the rock. Softly, he said the magic word,
"Reformabit,"
Nothing happened, not even a light from his wand. He tried again but to no effect. He frowned.
"Just keep trying; patience makes perfect after all," Kammy said. "You two can practice on your own time; now we must move on to the other two spells,"
'Other spells?'
"I also suggest you take your practice to heart. Eventually, I will be testing you on them,"
"There are tests?" Luigi asked.
Junior groaned. "She always gives a test,"

Wendy was bored; she had no one around to keep her occupied. Luigi was busy of late and she didn't have any friends living around town. She could hang out with Kanary, but she was spending most of her time with Ludwig these days. Last she talked with her, the two were thinking of composing their own music, preferably opera.
She sighed and continued her stroll through the castle. She looked up ahead and spotted her brother, Morton, picking things up from the floor. Curious, she walked over to him wondering what he was up to.
"Hey Morton, what are you doing?"
"Just trying…to get all these things back to my room." He answered as a long cable fell on the floor. "Probably should have grab a cart,"
Wendy picked up an equipment of the floor and quickly recognized it. "Wait, this is a camera." She said. "What do you need a camera for?"
"For my own web show, of course,"
She raised a brow. "A web show?"
"Yup, Flown gave me the idea back at the party. Since there is literally nothing good on TV, I decided to start a new show of my own."
"I get it; so... what's it about?"
"I...uhm," He hesitated. "I haven't really decided yet. But I can tell you what it's not going to be about...The Mushroom Kingdom."
She smiled. "Hmm, I like it already,"
"Exactly; my show is going to be something that everyone will enjoy – sports, news, comedy, drama – you name it. I might even throw in a cooking section if it will help get more viewers, maybe even some Soap for the ladies."
"Well, if you're featuring a section for the ladies," Wendy said. "Then it would probably be best to have an actual lady around to host it, right?"
Morton thought about it. "I...guess."
"Then it's settled,"
He blinked. "What's settled?"
"I'm going to be your partner, that's what,"
Morton's eyes widen from surprise. "What? Really? Why?"
"Because...if this show is going to be as big as you say it is, then I want to be a part of it." She explained. "Plus, it looks like you could use some help,"
"I'm fine," Morton said. He reached down to pick up something only to lose his balance and drop everything on the floor again.
"Of course you are," Wendy rolled her eyes. She grabbed several things and started down the hall.
"Come on, let's go,"
"Argh, fine," Morton said. He picked up the rest of his stuff and followed behind her. "But I'm the one who's going to be calling the shot,"
Wendy simply waved him off. "Yeah, yeah, yeah,"
...
Luigi stretched his arms as he made his way back to his room. He was tried after a long day. He wanted to relax for a bit before he could get ready for dinner.
When he got to his room, he saw that Wendy wasn't there. He walked over to their shared bed and collapsed onto it, sighing as he did so. He lay there for only five minutes before he heard the door opening and his wife entering inside.
"Hey hon'," She greeted.
"Hey babe," He greeted back.
She walked over and jumped on the bed next to him. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek before smiling.
"Guess what? Morton and I are starting our own web show,"
"Really?" Luigi raised his head to give an interest brow. "What kind of show?"
"Well, we figure we'll make it a variety show, mainly around humor; that way we can feature all sorts of stuff like sports, drama, even a special section for kids and ladies."
"Sounds like quite a show; how long are you going to make it?"
"For now, we're going to make it about an hour long just until we can get the hang of things. Morton already got a studio ready and all the camera equipment we'll need. I manage to pick up a crew to help us operate around. Now we just have figure out the script."
"Well, I hope your show comes out successful,"
"Thanks," She gave him a soft kiss. "I hope your book come out successful as well,"
Luigi smiled and gave her a soft kiss as well. "Thank you,"

Ending Note:
I don't really want to promise an exact time frame on when I'll update. Between school and work, it might take me longer to post chapters. I say, you will have to wait AT LEAST a week for a new one to appear.
