"Look at this town Jiji. It's bustling with so many people. Too many people for my taste," Keith muttered.
"Hey, relax! Your aunt and uncle instructed you to find a big city so that you could meet new people," his talking cat replied.
"I don't see why I have to make new friends. I'm fine with just you," Keith frowned, setting down on the ground.

"Kid, just calm down," Jiji assured, hopping off the handle and onto the cobblestones.
"Hmph."
Keith propped his broom up on his shoulder, and brushed off his clothes. He looked up, and noticed hundreds of prodding eyes trained on him. He ignored the stares of the townsfolk, readjusted his bag, and began walking away.

Yeah, yeah, he was a wizard, get over it. Murmurs arose, but he just held his head high and walked down the street. He readjusted his crimson bowtie, and set off to who knows where. He needed a place to stay for the night. Hopefully somewhere quiet and warm. With four walls and a roof over his head. That'd do, just until he could find a job. Then he'd save up and move to somewhere more permanent to finish his year of training.
"Where are we going Keith?" Jiji asked.
"I don't know. Anywhere," Keith decided.

"Hey! Hey you! Mister Wizard!"

Keith kept on walking, not wanting to hear rude remarks or to be told to get out of the town he just found. After getting caught in the rain and sleeping in hay with cows, he did not want to be forced to leave somewhere else. That was a moment he would never forget.
It was a beautiful seaside town, he'd have to admit that, and it'd be a pity to be kicked out when he just arrived.

"Just ignore him," Jiji warned.
"Mister Wizaaaaaard! I'm talking to you!"
Keith huffed, and spun around on his heel, ready to tell off the unwanted foe.
Instead his eyes met with a cute boy. He had tanned skin, complimented by a red and white striped shirt, with a cream yellow sweater wrapped around his shoulders. The boy was teetering on his bright red bike. Keith loved the color red.

"Whoah, careful Mr.Wizard, your broom almost knocked me over," he laughed.
"I noticed you fly down! That was so amazing! How did you do it?"

Great. This boy was cute, but had a mouth that ran faster than my legs whenever Aunt M said it was my turn to clean the cauldron. And he had zero manners.

Keith ignored him, and kept on walking.
"Hey! Wait up! I just want to talk to you!"
Not wanting to deal with his rudeness, Keith whipped around.
"I'll have you know that it's very rude to begin talking to someone with out properly introducing yourself first! Especially if they're from out of town!" Keith hissed.
The boy stared at him, wide eyed. Keith narrowed his eyes at him, daring him to speak.
"Oh. Well, in that case, I'm Lance. I'm conducting research on flying.You see, I'm very interested in how you-"

"Hey Lance! Whatcha doin?" A voice called.
"Goin' for boys now since all the ladies reject you?!"
Lance turned a shade as red as Keith's bow tie.
Keith's eyes followed the sound of the yells, and was met with a group of boys sitting on the steps of some building. Most were wearing tank tops and bandanas. Keith immediately labeled them as trouble. 
"Shut up! And no I'm not! I just want to know how he flies!" Lance protested.

Why was Lance even wasting his time with these fools?
Keith looked down at Jiji, and gently prodded him with his shoe to get his attention. His cat stared up at him, waiting for instructions. Keith jerked his head in the opposite direction of the gang, and began walking, Jiji padding along.

"Hey Lance, you better run after your prince!" One guy laughed.
"Huh?!"
Lance turned around, expecting to see Keith, but was met with red bricks.
"No!"
Lance jumped back on his bike and peddled around the corner as fast as he could.
Empty.

Lance looked up, and saw the mystery witch flying away. The cat met eyes with Lance, and stuck his tongue out at him.
Lance sighed in amazement, as he watched the boy get smaller and smaller.
"We'll meet again Mr.Wizard," Lance promised to himself.


EDIT:
THERE I FIXED IT TO WIZARD HAPPY?

Sorry this is so short! I haven't seen the movie in a couple years, so I just did this scene off memory. Please be patient with updates, I'm stuffed with school right now.
