Aw, shucks!
I wasn't even expecting ONE review! But I got two. You guys spoil me! :D
M'K, this one has a bit more of a plot sequence to it – the drabbles occur one after the other. It's set a little after the one where Sam breaks the talisman.

"C'mon, Felix! You got this!" Andy, Jake and Sam were utterly mystified by the noises coming from inside the magic shop. They stood awkwardly in the main shop, debating whether or not to go into the back room.
Phoebe had held Felix back from school and sent the others. Since Sam broke the talisman, there was no point in sticking together and they needed some new form of protection.
Felix Ferne was learning magic.
"YOU CAN DO IT!"
"SHUT UP, PHOEBE, I'M TRYING TO FOCUS!"
There was a slap, a resounding crash and a yelp. The three boys couldn't take it any longer. They entered the backroom to find a very strange scene.
Felix was on the ground, looking totally bewildered, clutching a book labelled 'Shape Shifting for Beginners; Vol. 2'. Phoebe, who hadn't them enter, was dancing about on the table, flapping her arms and screeching;
"YOU HAVE TO SUMMON YOUR INNER ELEPHANT!"
Felix's magic training continued throughout the week. They moved on from shape-shifting after Felix turned into a velociraptor instead of a cat. Phoebe then decided they should start with something easier – mastering his element.
Jake, Sam and Andy walked into the magic shop to see Phoebe at the front desk, evidently lost in thought.
"How goes the magic?" Jake asked casually.
"I have good news and bad news," she sighed. "Good news; he can maintain a simple flame."
"But…?"
"Control issues," Phoebe groaned. "He burned his arm hair off again."
"It grows back stronger every time!" called a voice from the back room – presumably Felix.
"I already knew he had control issues," grumbled Sam. "He almost set me on fire last night."
"YOU DESERVED IT!" yelled Felix.
It was around 8.00pm. Felix was asleep already – magic really took it out of him. Phoebe had (finally) dubbed him 'semi-adequate", and tomorrow he was heading back to school with the others.
Sam was watching Felix sleep (again), thinking carefully.
"That's a little creepy, man." Said Jake. Sam looked at him.
"I'm trying to figure out how to get him back for setting me on fire," he stated.
"Almost," corrected Andy. Felix had spent the better part of the afternoon stressing that he almost set Sam on fire.
Jake, however had other things on his mind. He decided to stay up, just to be sure that Sam didn't do any of his usual stuff – yelling, pointing pink fairy wands at people, threatening to use Felix as a human sacrifice, etc.
Sam didn't do any of that, though. He smiled, grabbed Felix's phone, fiddled a bit and put it back. Then he climbed up, taking the top buck tonight. He then rolled over and slept, with a contented, "Good night".
The next day they were sitting in science class, listening to Mr Bates tell them all about dust mites. Happy fun time.
Sam chose that moment to discreetly call Felix's phone while the teacher's back was turned. Felix's new ringtone rang out across the room;
Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Salagadoola means mechicka booleroo
Put 'em together and what have you got
Bippity-boppity-boo!
It'll do magic believe it or not
Bippity-boppity-boo!
But the thingmabob that does the job is
Bippity-boppity-boo!
All eyes turned to Felix, who was turning a glorious shade of pink.
"Hello…?" he mumbled cautiously into the little black mobile.
"Hi, Felix!" called Sam into his phone, even though he was only meters away. Felix death-glared him.
"I hate you." He deadpanned.
"Well, you should set you cousin on fire!"
"ALMOST!" yelled Felix, Andy and Jake.
They all got detention.
The end. That was fun. BTW, if you're familiar with the franchise, why don't you write a NBs fanfic? I would like to read some as well as write!
Till next time!
