Cherry and Atticus were in the living room now with Patch, playing an Atari 2600 game.

"I can't believe video games used to look like this..." Cherry scoffed at the blocky graphics.

"I can't believe it either, it's so boring." Atticus added.

"Why are we doing this?" Cherry mumbled.

"Everything looks like a square," Patch pointed to the screen. "Is that block supposed to be you?"

"I'd rather play the Legend of Zelda than this and I'm not even a Zelda fanatic." Cherry snorted.

"I'd rather play anything else than this." Atticus also snorted.

"I'd rather play Bubsy 3D." Cherry laughed.

"Bubsy 3D?" Patch asked.

"You do not wanna know..." Cherry warned.

"How bad can that game be?" Patch asked. "Is it Atari?"

"Playstation actually." Cherry replied.

"At least it would be better than this." Atticus said.

"Wanna bet?" Cherry dared.

"What do you mean?" Atticus asked.

Cherry then took out her phone, put in a Bubsy 3D video on YouTube and showed him a video of the game play.

"Yikes." Atticus said.

"Yeah..." Cherry replied.

"That's crazy!" Patch said. "I-" he then looked upstairs to see Jessica and Stephanie coming downstairs, so he turned his head and munched on his backside to look like a normal dog.

Stephanie kept a suspicious look towards the three of them.

"Hi..." Cherry looked over.

Atticus also waved to her. Stephanie glanced at them and then walked out the door to get herself home.

"Why did she look at us suspiciously?" Cherry asked.

Atticus shrugged.

"See you tomorrow, Steph!" Jessica called before shutting the door behind her and leaned against it in relief. "That was too close..." she then came over to Cherry, Atticus, and Patch. "Atticus, you've got to be more careful, Stephanie saw you using magic!"

"What?! How?" Atticus asked.

"She came back down to get one of her books, she must've saw you guys out the window." Jessica replied.

"Note to self: When doing magic training, make sure that all mortals that don't know that magic is real are not around or in the house." Atticus said.

"At least we didn't get in trouble for that." Cherry said.

"ATTICUS FUDO, YOU ARE IN DANGER OF EXPOSING YOUR FAMILY'S SECRET!" a booming voice called and then there was a puff of smoke and a familiar warlock appeared.

"Drell!" Jessica gasped and gave a quick curtsy, then came to the warlock's feet, took his hand and kissed his knuckle.

"Um... Have we met?" Cherry asked the warlock.

"I am Drell, Head of the Witches Council." the warlock introduced himself.

Cherry cupped her mouth and snickered slightly.

"Cherry, trust me; this guy is strong and I mean stronger than me." Atticus whispered.

Cherry kept laughing.

"And what is so funny?" Drell glared.

"Sorry," Cherry wiped her eye slightly. "It's just that I thought you'd be a woman... I mean, you're the Head of the Witches Council."

"And you're a frog!" Drell grinned.

"What?" Cherry asked beofre she was suddenly turned into a frog.

"Please forgive her for laughing at you, Drell." Jessica said.

Drell rolled his eyes and turned Cherry back to normal.

"And besides, how can you be stronger than Atticus?" Cherry then asked. "He's as strong as Hercules?!"

Drell walked outside the house which made everyone look to each other until they yelled out and flopped against one side of the house as Drell lifted it up with one hand and yawned while cupping his mouth with the other.

"Okay, okay, you're stronger than Atticus, we give, we give!" Cherry yelped as she was hanging from the doorway.

"That's what I thought." Drell smirked before he set the house back down on the ground roughly.

Cherry landed first and everyone else landed on top of her.

Drell patted his hands together and walked back inside and crossed his arms. "Jessica, I'm gonna have to tell your father."

"No!" Jessica panicked. "You can't tell him, besides, it wasn't Atticus's fault!"

"She's right! Besides, how were we supposed to know that Stephanie looked out the window?" Patch asked.

'Hmm..." Drell hummed sharply. "I suppose since this is first offense, I'll give you a warning."

Jessica looked relieved.

"Buuut..." Drell leaned over Jessica then. "If it happens again, I'm afraid you have to have the worst punishment known to man..." he then smiled darkly. "TURNED INTO A MOUSE IN A FOREST FOR 100 YEARS!"

"Isn't turned into a cat for 100 years?" Patch asked.

"Usually being turned into a mouse is a harsher punishment because you can't defend yourself against snakes or birds of prey..." Jessica sounded terrified.

"That, and, uh, I might eat ya after a while..." Drell smiled sheepishly. "My mother turned me into a cat so many times that I grew to like the taste... Here, I'll show you..." he then turned Cherry into a mouse, picked her up, and carried her in his mouth. "Mm~... Juicy..."

Cherry wiggled and struggled in his mouth. "It is most unpleasant in here!"

"Spit her out please, Drell." Atticus begged.

Drell smirked and folded his arms while rattling his fingertips against one arm.

"Let me out of here!" Cherry begged.

"Yuuum..." Drell folded his tongue over top of her. "Soooo yummy."

"Okay, we'll be careful next time, just spit her out!" Jessica begged the warlock.

"Yeah, please!" Atticus begged.

Something deep inside Drell's heart soon started to beat as he saw that look in Atticus's eyes.

"I-I think I'm feeling something..." Drell held his chest. "Like... Like... I'M GONNA HURL, GIVE ME A BUCKET!"

Cherry then popped out of Drell's mouth and landed in Atticus's hands.

"Eww..." Atticus winced at the slobber. "You okay, Cherry?"

"I never wanna go through that ever again..." Cherry shuddered.

"I'll take that as a yes." Atticus said.

Drell took out sparkling water, gurgled it in his mouth, and spit it onto Cherry. Cherry winced and dripped even more and looked rather miserably wet.

Drell was now using a toothpick. "Well, I suppose I ought to let you all go, remember, Jessica..."

"Yes, sir, we won't let it happen again." Jessica said.

"Wait! What about me?" Cherry asked.

"What about you?" Drell asked like he could care less for her.

"I'm a mouse!" Cherry reminded him.

"Oh, yeah..." Drell said, then turned her back to normal.

"Thank you." Cherry smiled.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." Drell said, then teleported himself away.

"Who was that guy...?" Cherry asked.

"Drell, he's a pain, but he's in charge of everything..." Jessica shivered. "He used to watch me when I was a little girl when I found out about my powers."

"And now who is he watching over?" Cherry asked.

"All of us..." Jessica said nervously.

"Jessie, I didn't know you had Wiccan powers..." Atticus said to his sister.

"I don't use them often," Jessica said. "I never really had a need for them."

"Really? Because I think having to use magic is great." Atticus smiled.

"Just be careful next time." Jessica warned.

"Yes, Jessica..." Atticus replied respectively. "Whatever you say."

Jessica smiled to that and gently patted her brother on the head as their parents came through the front door then with dinner for all of them.

"Guess I better go home now." Cherry suggested.

"Looks that way." Patch said.

"See ya guys..." Cherry walked off.

"See ya, Cherry!" the Fudo family called out as she was on her way out.
