Following the meteor shower, Connor and Spark made their way towards Calebs jeep. As they approached the fairy turned human immediately noticed the goofy looks on both Caleb and Glorias faces. "What are you two gawking at?"
"Nothing," Caleb smirked. "You two looked like you were having fun."
Connor blushed as Spark now furrowed her brow at Caleb. "Quit being a jackass boss," she grumbled.
Piling into the car, the two preteens were quiet, exchanging shy glances at one another. "So how was your movie," Connor asked, trying to ease the tension between himself and Spark.
"It was cute," Gloria said happily.
"Certainly was," Caleb added, giving Gloria a coy look. "To be honest, I kinda needed a night out too."
"Thats reminds me, " Connor stated. "Since you and Spark weren't out hunting tonight, who was?" Gloria now glanced back at the two preteens, a smile cracking across her face as she saw the two of them holding hands. "I actually asked my sister Katie," she said. "She said she had it covered. And yes, I know, you shouldn't go hunting alone. Thats why she took Mike with her."
"Um who's Mike," Spark asked.
"Hes a friend of Katie's," Gloria stated. "Hes married to one of her best friends Samantha."
"So hes a wizard too," Caleb asked.
"Yeah," Gloria said. "Hes been wanting to help out since the season ended. He doesn't get out as much anymore."
"Season?"
Gloria nodded in response to Spark. "Yep hes a professional baseball player. This was his rookie year. He's a pitcher for New York."
Connors eyes went wide, the 12 year old gasping. "Wait do you mean Mike Davis?!"
"How do you know him," Spark asked.
Connor almost seemed to leap from his seat as he now excitedly began to talk with Spark. "Mike Davis almost won the rookie of the year this year," he exclaimed. "Guy won 15 games this year with an ERA under three! He's got a 97 MPH fastball, a wicked slider, and one of the best cutters in baseball. I have his rookie card! Oh man, do you think he would autograph it for me? That would be awesome!"
Gloria glanced over at Caleb, her boyfriend chuckling softly. "Connors a big baseball fan."
As the quartet now pulled into the Moreland home, Spark and Connor trailed behind. "So I guess you have to go back to being a fairy," Connor asked.
"Yeah fraid so," Spark sighed. "Still got a job to do but hey, had an awesome time Connor. We should do this again sometime." Spark now gave the preteen a hug before turning to Gloria and nodding. Gloria now began to cast her spell, Spark shuddering as she felt the magic wash over her.
"Wait," Connor exclaimed.
Spark now turned to Connor, slightly confused as she felt her body begin to change. Already the fairy could feel her human clothing beginning to loosen. "Um whats up Connor," she asked, the fairy already noticing that she was slightly shorter than Connor.
"I wanted to ask you something," he said quickly. Connor shifted nervously, watching as Spark slowly began to shrink. "Well spill it," Spark said quickly. "I'm getting smaller by the second here."
"Um Spark," Connor stammered. "Theres a dance in a couple of weeks. I was um curious if you um...wanted to...um..go with me?"
Spark gaped at the young preteen, Connor flushing crimson as he fidgeted in place. The rapidly shrinking fairy now stood on tiptoe, thankful she was just tall enough to plant an innocent kiss on Connors lips. "Its a date!"
A goofy smile now spread across Connors face as he watched Spark shrink even smaller. The punk rock preteen giving the boy a warm smile as she shrank into her clothing. As Sparks clothing now puddled on the ground, Connor watched as the tiny nude fairy soared out, giving the boy a wink before soaring inside the Moreland house.
