Ashley was doing her chores, she just finished putting the finishing touches on the shutters, sprinkling the hinges with squeak powder. She checked to make sure they were loud and creaky. And they definitely were.

"Ah, now that's better." she said.

"Wow, you've really been kicking butt with those chores, Ashley." Mums said as he passed her by.

Ashley smiled proudly. "Well, it's like I always say: a creaky home is a haunted home."

"You never said that." Mums replied.

Ashley blinked twice. "...you're right, I haven't." she simply shrugged, must have been a slip of the tongue.

After scumming the tub, polishing the cobwebs, dusting the furniture, Ashley was finally done and didn't even break a sweat. She was on top of the world today.

Ashley's iPhone rung, she answered it, "Hey, Dawn."

"Ashley! How's the birthday girl?!" Dawn said with joy.

"Just fine...and super excited!" she answered. "I'm done with my chores so I'm coming right over!"

"Alright, girl."

Ashley hung up and smiled, she was going to have a day out with Dawn and Hillary then throw a big birthday bash at Hillhurst with her roommates. She was a litte sad that Dawn and Hillary couldn't come to the party tonight. But she was happy that her Hillhurst friends to celebrate with her.

Ashley went to her room to get her purse, she saw herself in the vanity mirror. She paused, and frowned at what she wore, a ruffled lavender tank top and a white tiered skirt.

With a point to herself, Ashley changed into something more comfortable. A simple black summer dress and a black fedora, but still kept her magic key necklace.

Another point later, Ashley was in her mother's house.

She saw her mother walk into the living room. She jumped, startled. "Ashley?! When did you get here?! I didn't hear you come in!"

Ashley gave a little smile. "Teleportation spell, Mom." she winked. "I thought I'd just pop by and say hi!"

The woman stared at her daughter. "Why are you wearing black?"

"Cause it's my favorite color, next to green."

Irene paused, "If you say so. Now then, you excited for tonight?"

"You bet! A nice normal birthday is all I need today."

"Define normal." said Irene.

"Don't worry, Mom. It won't be half as weird than when we celebrated Flabber's birthday 2 months ago. Mums busted all the balloons, Little Ghoul made it rain, and Frankenbeans sat on the cake!"

Irene blinked. "Charming. Anyway, could you take this and put it on the sign across the street, I just sold that house." She gave her a sold sticker.

"Sure thing, Mom." Ashley went across the street to the sold house. Before she put it up, a ball rolled up to her feet. She looked over and saw a little boy coming to get his ball. He smiled up to Ashley.

Ashley smiled back at him. She put up the sticker. "Sold." she said, then suddenly frowned. She snapped her fingers and another sticker was in her hand, she slammed it against the sign, it said,

"SCRAM!" Ashley snapped at the little boy, scaring him. "Beat it!"

The boy gasped and ran away in fear, crying.

Snickering, but Ashley stopped. "That felt weird..."

Ashley went back to her mother's house and smiled at her mother, but she noticed Irene was staring at her in an uncomfortable way.

"What?"

"Ashley, what's that on your face?"

Ashley tilted her head, she conjured up a hand mirror and took a look, her eyes widened when she saw a little black bump on her jaw line.

Ashley carefully touched it, "Maybe it's a black head."

"Or a mole." said Irene.

"Well, whatever it is, I think it looks nice." Ashley said.

"Nice?! Ashley, a mole on your face is not nice! Use that magic of yours and get rid of it! You're going out tonight!"

Ashley waved her hand. "I will, Mom. I'll see you later."

Ashley left the house, smiling. But she wasn't getting rid of that mole. "It's no big. After all, Cindy Crawford has one."

Later, Ashley arrived at the bowling alley with her friends. Dawn was the first to embrace the redhead with a big birthday hug.

"Good to see you, girl!" said Dawn.

"Same here, Hon." Ashley replied.

The girls began a game of bowling, as Ashley did, she noticed a couple of guys at the far end, chatting amongst themselves, almost in secret.

After that, the girls ordered lunch. Before Ashley ate her food,

"Ashley, you've got something on your face." Hillary said.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just a beauty mark."

"It looks like a mole to me." Dawn leaned in closer. "And I think there's a hair on it..."

"Mole. Beauty mark. What's the difference?" Ashley replied.

"Hey."

The girls looked over and saw the same guys she saw earlier. They approached Ashley and Dawn, Ashley scowled at them right off the bat.

"What's say you two ladies come with us?" a guy said. "We'd show you a real good time."

"No, thank you." Dawn replied rather bitter.

"Aw, come on, girl." said the other guy. "Let's do something beautiful, darling."

Ashley slammed her hands on the table. She looked at the two goons square in the eye. "She said no thank you."

Hillary stood up and spoke, "I suggest you get lost before-"

But one goon knocked her down hard. "I'm talking to the hot chicks, not the nerd." They laughed at the fallen friend.

Ashley pounded her fist on the table, very hard. Her necklace bean to glow eerily.

The goons looked at her and gasped. Ashley raised her hands and snarled at them. "Laugh clowns, laugh."

One goon backed away. "Girl, either you're majorly sick or you're skin is-"

Then Ashley shot them with a blast of magic, the boys screamed as the green light engulfed them, when it faded, they screamed even harder when they saw each other wearing clown clothes and makeup.

Dawn and Hillary were in great and total shock.

Ashley cackled like a mad woman. "Now get this party hopping!" She held her hands up and the entire building was alight with green.

A few seconds later, Ashley emerged from the building with a wicked smile on her face, followed by a mob of frogs hopping and croaking out of the bowling alley.
