"Hey I'll be right back," Mia said quickly. Ann now watched, catching her breath as she saw Mia make her way towards the popular kids table. "Uh oh," she thought. "I hope you know what your doing Mia."
Mia straightened her shirt and jeans as she made her way towards Zack, Winery, and Pryyha. The witchling didnt want to admit it but she was developing a crush on her best friend. It amazed her that that could happen. When she first met Zack he was a scrawny kid, shorter than she was. Now, at 14, Zack was beginning to become quite cute. A boyishly handsome face with a mop of dark black hair, a recent growth spurt that left him just shy of 6 feet, even an impressive amount of lean muscle on his frame. Mia shuddered as she remembered seeing Zack when they went swimming. She had never realized huat how good he looked.
"Hey Zack," she said nervously, already feeling embarrassed at the nervous tenor of her voice. Zack turned, a friendly smile on his face. "Mia," he said happily. "Hey hows your first day going?"
"Pretty good so far," she shrugged. "Kinda dull, was hoping we could talk before lunch ends." As Zack went to pull a chair out Mia, Winery arrived. "Why thank you Zack," she said, taking the seat he had pulled out for Mia.
"Hello Mia how is your day going," Winery asked. Mia felt her mood sour as she gazed at the beautiful wolf princess. "Just fine," she huffed.
Winery smiled, brushing her long blond hair behind her shoulders as she snuggled next to Zack. "I wanted to apologize for earlier," Winery stated. "Zack told me about your goddaughter. I didn't realize today was so important. Of course he'll visit."
Mia perked up, a chance to hang out with Zack without Winery. "Oh okay," Mia said quickly, trying to sound casual.
"It is very important to honor your commitments," Winery said almost really. "That what my parents always say. Besides, I haven't visited the other timeline in quite sometime."
"What," Mia exclaimed. The young witchling now turned to Zack, the werewolf squirming in his seat. "I did kind of promise Winny we would hangout today," he said sheepishly. Mia could feel her cheeks flush with anger as she stared at Zack.
"You feeling okay Mia," Pryyha asked. "I'm sensing alot of negative energy from you." Mia glanced over at the mummy princess. Despite being mummified as a child, the princess had asked that her body be allowed to grow as her peers. Jack and Kellie decided to assist the girl, progressing her body like her peers every year. The now teenage mummy was wrapped in the finest linens along with the trendiestteenage fashion, her waifish teenage body demurely covered.
"I'm fine P," Mia sighed, remembering too late that mummies sensed auras and energies. "Sorry didnt mean to make you nervous. By the way cute outfit."Pryyha smiled, thanking her friend.
"Its cool Winny," Mia said, composing herself. "Im sure Yuki will be happy to see you." Winery thanked Mia before turning to Zack. An almost motherly sigh escaped her lips as she now began to correct Zacks behavior. "Zack you really need to chew with your mouth closed," she sighed. "Its gross and can you do something with your hair? It's a mess."
Mia was gritting her teeth, watching as Zack apologized before trying to straighten his wild dark hair. The young witchling was about to say something, until she caught movement out of the corner of her eye.
Rexie was now sneaking her way behind Winery, the imp stifling a chuckle as she held a bucket of water. Before Mia could say anything, her familiar floated above Winery, emptying the buckets contents on her.
Winery screamed in shock, jumping out if her chair as the lunchroom erupted in laughter. As the werewolf princess looked behind her, her eyes grew red with rage. "YOU!"
Rexie paused, watching as Winery began to change. The girl began to grow larger, more muscular, as thick snow white fur covered her body. Winery's face began to transform, her mouth becoming a muzzle filled with razor sharp teeth as her eyes became a deep yellow.
"Uh oh," Rexie gulped. Before the imp could act, Winery seized her around the throat, squeezing tightly. "Did you tell this THING to attack?"
"What NO," Mia said quickly, as the werewolf snarled at her. "I didnt tell Rexie to do anything. I didnt want her prank anyone!"
"What kind of witch cant control her familiar," Winery scoffed.
"Hey," Zack stated, standing between Mia and Winery. "You know Rexie. Shes not an ordinary familiar. She has free will and she does as she pleases."
"Maybe I should finally end this imp," Winery growled, her clawed hand squeezing tighter around Rexies throat. "That way you could finally get a proper familiar."
"Leave Rexie alone," Mia bellowed. The young witchling power exploding outwards. Zack and Pryyha gasped as Mias eyes began to glow blood red. "No one hurts Rexie. NO ONE!"
Ann had watched everything, growing concerned after Rexies latest prank. Now that Mias powers were swirling throughout the cafeteria, overturning tables and cracking the windows, she was really nervous. Couple that with the fact the students were now chanting fight, she knew she needed to do something before her friends came to blows.
