Chapter 7
The gang zapped themselves back to the tower.
Archer started sniffing around the living room. "Well, I guess I could learn to like it here."
Sarah held up her wand and twitched it just enough to point to the corner, where a doggie-bed loaded with a blanket and a bunch of chew toys appeared.
Archer raced over there.
"We still have to feed him," said Wendy.
"Oh." Sarah waved her wand rapidly and a bowl loaded with bacon and a bowl filled with water appeared by the doggie bed.
Archer immediately started after it.
"Well, we've caught the bad guy," said Sarah, "you guys got your day off, and everyone safe and happy and we're all together again."
Michael hugged his sister. "Yeah, everyone wins!"
Sophie smiled. "Oh, you 2 are so grounded."
Their ears drooped. Sarah waved her wand and zapped them back to their room.
Archer stopped eating and jumped on the couch. "What about me?"
"Well, you have no magic for the 750 years you're stuck like this," Wendy explained, "And since I doubt anyone from Anasala would want you and since no mortals in Acmetropolis can find out about magic, we're stuck with you. So here are the ground rules: 1, get off the couch!"
Archer jumped off the sofa.
Wendy sat down where he'd been. "And we will establish the rest of the rules as we go."
"Oh, this ought to be fun." Archer sat back down in his doggie bed and started walking in circles. Then he stopped. "Oh, great. Now I have to walk in a circle like 10 times before I sit." He lied down and got ready to take a nap.
Wendy giggled. She turned to the others. "Oh, this should be good."
Daniella smiled. "Just as long as the spell holds up right. I mean, it was mainly cast by premature half-bloods."
Wendy shrugged. "All put together we amounted for like 7 Witches. 5 alone is enough to cast a spell of that magnitude."
"Fine, but I'm not cleaning up after him."
"If you don't, who will?"
They all looked at Jack and Duck.
"Whoa!" Jack said, "Sarah and Mikey are the ones being punished. Why don't we make them do it?"
Wendy sighed. "For the month. We're trying to figure out who's gonna do it later."
"Alright, maybe this having a pet thing is overrated."
"Technically, its rehabilitation."
"Not all of us are gonna live to be 750."
"You won't with that attitude."
"Ha, ha."
"Fine, we'll make a chart." Wendy zapped up a whiteboard with a chart of everyone and their jobs. She then examined it. "Yeah, maybe this having a pet thing is overrated."
(Hope 7's "Breakthrough" plays in background)
And so…things…pretty much worked out…I guess. Oh well, more happened to them…but those are other stories.
If there's a word of kindness from you
I never heard it
Nobody else but me
Would spin around this lousy day until its perfect
Just you wait and see
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
I'm gonna breakthrough
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
With or without you
I'm gonna have some fun
That's what I'm gonna do

If there's a key to this hidden door
I'm gonna find it
No one can keep me out
Of the sun
When the wings are to come

The power
To change my life
One day at a time
And hour
By hour
I'll be fine
Yeah, I'll be alright
