Sabrina woke to the bright sun on her face. She blinked twice and saw Casper floating on top of her.
"Happy Halloween!" he said in a cheery mood. Sabrina sat up quickly, in the process going through Casper.
"Skip the cold shower, I'll just waltz through you!" she exclaimed after she got a mass cold rush as she went through him, fully waking up. Casper hovered to the end of the bed and blushed.
"Sorry… I guess it happens."
"I'm not going to hold you responsible… for now." Sabrina said with a smile.
"How about I make you some breakfast?" Casper offered as the two entered the kitchen.
"No need, watch this." Sabrina closed her eyes, extended her arms, and concentrated. She then mumbled,
"Breakfast, dinner or lunch, beware!
Burgers, pastas or breads ensnare
Summon one dish for a personal feat
Let me draw Nutrients, I want food to eat!"
In a flash a bowl appeared on the table. Casper looked at her with a smile but Sabrina didn't celebrate yet. She walked over to the bowl and looked in it.
"Empty." She said sadly. "Except for this crumb…"
Casper looked in the bowl too and was confused. Sabrina noticed this and explained,
"My powers are not fully developed. Some spells I still need a wand for. It's like being autistic in a witch sense I guess."
Casper smiled.
"You must be a very smart witch then." He joked. Sabrina playfully rolled her eyes and said nothing.
"Half witch." She reminded him. Casper laughed.
"How about I try making breakfast now?"
"Go ahead; I have a feeling it will end up better than mine."
"You know I've never been to Friendship in the fall. It's really lovely with all the leaves and stuff." Sabrina said as she and Casper walked along a sidewalk. Although it was lunch time the lighting was almost like the sun was going down.
"It is." Casper agreed. He looked at Sabrina and admired the way her hair bounced up and down as she walked on the sidewalk. Something that her mother's hair used to do…
"What do you usually do on Halloween?" Casper said trying to keep his mind off of how Kat reflected onto Sabrina.
"Nothing much." She replied jumping over a small crack in the sidewalk that was nearly covered with leaves. "When I was younger I couldn't go and scare the heck out of humans but when my great-aunts and Aunt Wendy found out I was magically delayed I was usually left home alone. I liked the Halloween line-ups that Cartoon Network always does; I liked Scary Godmother and Goosebumps the most."
"Wow… sounds like a lonely holiday." Casper said feeling a little sad for his new friend.
"But I won't be alone this year." Sabrina said with a smile. Casper looked up confused. Sabrina then held Casper's hand and said, "I have a special friend with me this year and his name is Casper McFadden."
Casper looked at his hand that held Sabrina's hand. A sudden rush fell on him and he smiled at the thought.
She's not Kat, and she's not Wendy. She's better, she's both; she's not just another friend. And I want to be more than just friends; I want to be something more… something that Kat and I almost were. Casper thought to himself.
"A ghost!" some random person on the street shouted. Casper and Sabrina looked at each other and then the person who stood frozen where they were.
"Might as well." Sabrina said with a shrug. She lifted her arm and shot a ray of sparks over the petrified person who then went on the scream,
"It's a ghost AND a witch! It's a Halloween curse!" the person shouted and headed in the opposite direction. Casper winched as the person tripped over a hedge and tumbled, that was the last thing Casper ever wanted to see.
"We can blame the holiday." Sabrina said as if she was reading Casper's mind.
