Amy raises her hand slowly, the 12-year-old looking somewhat nervous, “um… I’d like to be next,” she says.
Rick smiles, “let me guess,” he says, “you’d love to be a witch, right?”
Amy’s eyes widen, “how do you…,” she starts before looking down at herself, “oh”.
Rick chuckles, “well, yes, your costume is a dead giveaway,” he says, “however, I can also see some jealousy in your eyes. Watching me able to change others, you’d just love to do the same, right?”
Amy nods her head, “yes! Seeing you helping my friends be what they truly are, I want to also help people,” she says, “I… I could help you!”
Rick grins wide, “you know, that would be great,” he says, “I mean, there are so many unhappy people out there, to many for me to help, but with your help, I think we’ll be able to make so many people happy!”
Amy smiles and nods, “we sure will,” she says.
“Well, from now on you are a real witch,” Rick says, “you have extreme powerful magic, so powerful you do not need a wand! Like me, you only will have to focus on a person and whatever you suggest will happen. However, no one, except the people present, including me, know about your powers”.
Amy lets out a gasp when she feels a huge energy seem to flow into her body, the 12-year-old grins, “I feel so powerful,” she says, clenching her hands into fists, “I can’t wait to try out my powers!”
Rick smiles, “I’m sure you’ll make so many people happy,” he says.
Amy smiles, “you know, Rick,” she says, “I can tell that YOU are unhappy, and I’d love to help YOU… as a thanks for helping me!”
Rick tilts his head, “me? Unhappy,” he asks, he then grins, “well… I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy… BUT I do have a desire: I’d love to be an anthro! However… I have so many animals I’d love to be: wolf, dragon, lizard, tiger, lion, panther, fox, jackal,…,” the 13-year-old turns to Kelly, “what do you think, baby?”
Kelly smiles, “I think you’ll look amazing, no matter what animal”.
Rick smiles, then looks down at his “puppy” Max, who is sitting like a dog with his hands between his legs, “what about you, pup?”
Max tilts his head and looks up at Rick.
Rick chuckles, “you know, I haven’t taken away your ability to talk like a human,” he says, “you are allowed to talk, unless I say otherwise”.
“Um… I’d agree with Kelly,” Max says, “you’d look amazing as any animal, master!”
Rick chuckles, “no need to call me “master”, pup,” he says, “you can call me by my name,” he then turns to Amy, “well… I guess I’ll leave the decision to you, Amy. What animal would suit me best in your opinion?”
