Disney Wizards: Dark Anomalies [UPDATED 4/7/2020]

Chapter 22 - I Won't Say I'm In Love

"Kaitlyn?" Sebastian repeated, his face looking dumbstruck. 

"Hello to you too." She greeted, crossing her arms.

"It's not that I'm not happy to see you," Sebastian quickly defended, waving his hands nervously. "I'm just, surprised is all."

Ben gently nudged his friend's arm, shutting him up. "What Sebastian is trying to say is; We weren't expecting you. And what's this we hear about her being our new, partner?"

"Well boys as you know, each team of Wizards requires four members. So due to the, uh, " Mickey faked a loud cough before continuing. "--incident, Kaitlyn will be your teams newest Illusionist."

"Really now?" Sebastian's eyes widened at the thought, slowly clapping his hands together with a sigh. "Great..."

"Don't act so surprise, I wasn't looking forward to this as much as you were." Kaitlyn commented. 

"The Wizard Council has requested that the three of you and Ava begin training together as a team." Mickey explained. 

"Do we have to?" Sebastian questioned.

Mickey lowered his eyes into a slight glare. "It's non-optional."

Sebastian groaned, waving his hand in defeat. "Fine, she can stick around, I guess." 

"Don't get too comfortable, Harris," Kaitlyn cautioned as she waltzed to his side, glancing at him with her sharp ivy green eyes. "We wouldn't want a repeat of last time."

"I guess not, Perry-Winkle..." Sebastian teased with a grin.

The red head turned her head completely to face him, the two of them locking their gazes upon one another.

"How many times have I told you not to use my last name?" She growled.

"You used mine," Sebastian countered. "I thought you liked it when I teased you?"

Kaitlyn huffed at the boy as she stepped back, shifting her nose into the air as she began to walk away from the British Boy. "I suggest you clean yourself up. Nobody wants to see your glistening sweat."

The two boys and mouse watched her travel to the center of the room, rummaging through the fruit basket as Ben looked over at Sebastian. "So, remind me again why you like her?" Ben whispered.

"She's not like other girls I've met," Sebastian whispered back. "She's feisty."

"What girl isn't nowadays?" Ben asked him, raising a brow.

"I can name 5." Sebastian answered. 

There was a sudden knock on the door as Fairy Godmother entered the room, sighing with relief as she brushed her forehead, moving strands of hair out of her eyes. "So sorry I am late."

"That's quite alright, Fairy Godmother," Mickey assured her with a nod. "I'm just on my way out."

"Wait, wait, wait," Sebastian called, taking a step forward towards the mouse. "So, Kaitlyn is part of our team, permanently?" 

"Just until the Dark Anomalies are defeated. Please try to bare with us until then. The four of you need to train together if you're all going to master your Power Up." Mickey explained. 

"Wait, our Power Up?" Sebastian flinched. 

"Um, Mickey? The four of us pulling off our team Power Up without one correct element isn't---"

"Sorry, gotta go!" Mickey waved as he took off out of the room, shutting the door behind him. 

With the mouse gone, Sebastian clutched the towel in his hand a little tighter before slapping it onto his shoulder. "Did he just pull a fast one on us?"
