Some time had gone by, and now they were video chatting Nikki, whom they also told about their secret. Danny and Sabrina had been sharing stories about mishaps with their respective powers. "You accidentally brought the Eiffel Tower to life?" Nikki asked. "So that's why the Eiffel Tower disappeared! I remember that, it was all over the news! Everyone in Spain totally freaked out!" Jonesy said. "The Eiffel Tower is from France, Jonesy." Zelda corrected.
"Anyway, I wanted to cast a spell for a purse so that I could carry all of our stuff. I talked Salem into wishing one up since I wasn't allowed to." Sabrina explained. "Usually it's the other way around." Salem chimed in, sounding proud of this. "Except the spell he cast accidentally turned the tower into a person - a boy. He had red hair and pale skin. I told my friends that he was my cousin, Eiffel, from France. Hilda and Zelda scrambled to come up with a spell to turn him back into a tower, but Eiffel loved being a living boy. Everyone at school liked him, except Gem. I did have to tell him not to chase away pigeons or talk to inanimate objects, but he taught me how much fun being a kid could be. He really hit it off with everyone at school, especially Pi and Harvey." Sabrina said.
"At the time, Harvey and Pi were working on a snow machine so they could cool off in the heat and go sledding." Hilda added. Sabrina nodded. "They couldn't get the thing to work, and everyone made fun of them, especially Slugloafe. Eiffel wanted so badly to go sledding. He didn't want to change back into a tower. As Harvey and Pi were ready to give up, Eiffel gave us a speech about his father and how he didn't give up on building a tower and everyone loved the tower when it was done despite making fun of him for it before. We all persisted and Eiffel and I helped Pi and Harvey with the snow machine. We actually pulled it off! It was so much fun! I thanked Eiffel for being a good friend and cheering me up when I was down. He decided it was time for him to go back to France after he told us about his father. It reminded him that being the Eiffel Tower was his purpose." she told them.
"Wow, that's actually a really cute story. And not the kind of cute that makes me sick like Caitlyn's idea of cute. It's the kind of cute that's, well, cute." Nikki couldn't help but smile. "Yeah. Although, isn't it crazy that the sentence 'I'm friends with the Eiffel Tower' can come out of your mouth and be true? Anyone else who said that would need psychiatric help." Jonesy joked. Sabrina laughed. "Yeah, it does sound crazy. But I'll never forget that and I'm glad he became my friend." She smiled.
After a brief pause, Jen said "You know, based on all these stories you've told us about Pi, I can't help but think he kind of reminds me of Jude."
"I was thinking the same thing!" Nikki agreed. "Me too! Aside from the whole 'conspiracy theorist' and 'paranormal activity interest' thing." Jonesy said. Danny and Sabrina both laughed. "It's funny, when we met you guys for the first time, Brina and I were just talking about how much Jude reminded us of Pi. Even the couple times I met Pi over video chats I couldn't help but notice their personalities are kind of similar." Danny said.
"Anyway, I should get going. My parents think I'm studying and they haven't checked on me in a while. I'd hate for them to come in at the wrong time and bust me. See you guys." Nikki told everyone. "Bye, Nikki." Sabrina said, as they all waved at her. "We should get going, too." Jen said. "What? Already?" Jonesy asked. "Jonesy, it's almost 10. Our parents will be home from the rehearsal dinner soon, and so will Danny's, so they'll have to pick him up." Jen told him. "Oh, uh, right. Okay." Jonesy said, somewhat hesitantly, as if he didn't want to leave. Before leaving, Jen went over to Danny and hugged him. "That's for saving my life." she said. "It's no problem. What was I gonna do, let you fall?" Danny asked.
"Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow." Sabrina said with a smile. "Yeah. We'll see you." Jonesy said, smiling back, still seeming hesitant. "It's been a pleasure having you both over. Even if it was under... tricky, circumstances." Hilda said. "Thank you guys for agreeing not to tell anyone about us." Zelda said. "I'm just glad you guys don't hate us or think we're freaks. Anyone else probably would." Sabrina said. "Nah. Although it is kind of shocking. But telling stories did help lighten the shock, and give us a chance to get to know you guys more." Jen said. "But wait, uh, what about the witch council? You said they don't like when mortals find out about their existence." Jonesy said.
"We live in a town where everyone knows ghosts are real, and now your town knows ghost's are real as well. We figure they can't really do anything about it anyway. There's a reason only a select few people know about us, as long as everyone else doesn't find out, it's probably fine." Zelda said. "Bye, guys." Jen told them. "Bye." Danny and Sabrina waved as Jen and Jonesy left. "It kinda seemed like Jonesy didn't want to leave." Danny said. "I thought so, too." Sabrina agreed. "Well, we were having fun, and time flies when you're having fun. I mean, just yesterday it was the 1800's!" Hilda said.
"Actually, I'd wager it's because he doesn't want it to be tomorrow. Because tomorrow he has to see his mom for the first time in a decade." Salem said. "Salem's right. I mean, none of us is looking forward to that wedding, other than Jack and Maddie. Especially considering we still have no idea what Vlad might do. But none of us have emotional ties to the wedding the way Jonesy does." Zelda said. "I didn't handle it well when my dad was getting married to Futura, but that was the opposite of what Jonesy's going through - I worried Futura would get in the way of my bond with my dad, and she turned out to be really sweet. The way Jonesy described his mom and what she did to Michael is awful! I couldn't imagine if my mom did that to my dad or vice versa and I had to see them again." Sabrina said.
"I think we should check on him tomorrow. Make sure he's okay. I mean, bravado, womanizing and money making schemes aside, he's not a bad guy." Danny said. "Best you let him know he can open up to you two. Remind him you're here for him. Don't push, though. Jonesy strikes me as the kind of guy to try and hide his feelings." Hilda said. "Like most guys, especially at that age. If he doesn't want to talk about it, don't force it out of him. But if he's having a difficult time, having someone in his corner to support him will help." Zelda added.
The next day, Danny and Sabrina both video chatted with Tucker and Chloe, respectively and filled them in on what's been going on thus far into the trip. "So you guys think Vlad has another ghost portal in Canada?" Chloe asked. "He has to, it's the only thing that would make sense. Up until yesterday I'd never seen Pointdexter before but Danny told me about him, and he said he came from a mansion. Jonesy told us his mom lives in one, and Vlad lived in one in Amity Park. Plus the same vulture that tried to kill me tried to kill Jen, and it was the night after she screamed at him for bullying us." Sabrina explained. "Well, at least Nikki, Jen and Jonesy know about you guys and are on your side." Chloe said. "Thank goodness. I'm still dreading tonight, though. Not as much as Danny and Jonesy, but still. At least whatever happens I'll be with Danny." Sabrina said.
"Well, hopefully you guys are able to put a stop to whatever Vlad tries to pull and come out in one piece." Chloe said. "I think we will. If anything happens my aunt's will be outside the chapel, if Danny and I can't stop whatever's happening, they can. They've done it before." Sabrina said, still nervous at what would happen but confident that they wouldn't be in danger with Hilda and Zelda nearby. Sabrina then saw Jonesy sitting at a bench in front of the mall fountain - a large, star shaped fountain in the middle of the mall - rather glum. "I gotta go, Chloe. Jonesy's at the mall fountain and he seems down in the dumps. I'm gonna check on him, make sure he's okay." Sabrina said.
"Good luck. It's gotta be a rough one for him. Talk to you later Sab." Chloe said, hanging up. Sabrina cast a spell:
"I know someone who could use a soda/hopefully he would like a cola!"
An ice cold can of Coca Cola then appeared in Sabrina's hand. She walked up to Jonesy. "Hi, Jonesy." she greeted with a smile. Jonesy looked up at her and smiled back. "Oh, hey Sabrina. Where's Danny?" he asked. "He's video chatting with Tucker. I just got done video chatting with Chloe. We came here to avoid our parents listening in on our conversations. Well, his parents and my aunts." Sabrina said. Jonesy laughed a little. "Yeah, I get it. You can sit here if you want." he said. She sat down next to him and gave him the soda.
"Thanks!" he told her. "No problem. Are you okay? You seem kinda down in the dumps." Sabrina asked. "Yeah. I'm having a hard time with today being the day I finally see my mom." Jonesy told her. "I figured that was the case. Last night when you were at the hotel with us you didn't seem like you wanted to go home. We had a feeling it might've been because you didn't want today to come." she said. "Well, you were right." he admitted. "Why don't we grab some food and hit up the arcade? Whatever you want. I'll text Danny. It'll be just the three of us, do something fun before the wedding. I feel like all of us could use some fun, you especially." she offered.
"You mean it?" he asked. "Of course I do. You're my friend, I know this is really hard for you and I want to help in any way I can. And I know Danny would be saying the same thing if he were here." she told him. The two hugged. "Thanks, Sabrina. I owe you guys." he told her. "It's no problem at all, Jonesy. I'm gonna text Danny.
Meanwhile, Danny was chatting with Tucker. "Pointdexter and the ghost vulture are in Canada?" He asked in shock. "Yeah, it's definitely Vlad's doing. Pointdexter didn't even know he was in Canada until I told him. He said he came from a mansion, and Vlad and Jonesy's mom live in a mansion. Plus, I find it suspicious that the same ghost culture that tried to kill Sabrina tried to kill Jen the same night she flipped out on him for bullying us at the park." Danny said. At the top of his screen he got a text:
I talked to Jonesy today, Salem and my aunt's were right. He's having a hard time with today. I told him the three of us could do something fun to cheer him up. Meet us at the mall fountain
Danny: I'll be right there.
"Sorry, Tuck, I gotta go. Sabrina found Jonesy and he's having a rough one. The three of us are gonna do something fun to cheer him up. Frankly I think that we all could use it." Danny said. "Alright, see ya man. Hope you guys make it out of the wedding okay." He said. "Thanks, I'm sure we will. Hilda and Zelda will be outside the chapel in case anything happens. They've helped us against Vlad before, they can do it again." Danny said. He hung up the call.
