Sapphire opened the door to her house, to see everything trashed and furniture being thrown around.

"Holy shit." Sapphire closed the door, "What the hell happened?"

Sapphire heard a growl and then a bark come from her bedroom hallway, and she quickly turned her head. There she seen a big, blonde bulldog.

"Ruuffff!" It growled, and she yelped, sitting in the corner.

"Please, don't hurt me!" She held her hand out, "I'm a cat person!"

But that didn't help her case. The dog raced over to her, and Sapphire pulled her knees closer to her face. She waited for the dog to come and scratch her eyeballs out, but surprisingly, it didn't.

Sapphire watched the dog sit next to her, and she slowly deformed out of a ball. She looked at the big, ugly dog. She saw her mom's face in it a bit, which had taken her by surprise.
The sun shined into the dog's medal dog tag, which read "MOM".

"Oh my glob!" Sapphire yelped. "Mom! It is you! What happened?"

How the fuck are you going to ask a dog what happened to them?

Sapphire ignored the comment, following the dog to the kitchen counter, which held Sapphire's drawing. 

"Did you touch it?" Sapphire asked, and the dog borked, and then nodded. "I knew that shit was magical! What are we going to do?"

Well, for starters, you should get your house cleaned up. It looks an absolute mess.

"Okay, author, will you shut the fuck up?" Sapphire shouted. Her mother borked again angrily, warning Sapphire about her language. "Sorry, mom."

They both started cleaning up. Sapphire straightened the cushions out, and Mom picked up all the mess she had done and put it in the trash. Once they had finished, they both sat on the couch, figuring out what to do.

"Mom, how the hell are we going to fix this?" Sapphire sighed, placing her hand on her forehead. Mom barked lightly, and trotted to Sapphire's room, coming back with one of her Harry Potter books.

"Are you saying I should find a spell in here to transform you back into a human?" Sapphire asked, turning random pages in the book.

No, she gave you the book so y'all could have a fucking book club!

"Okay, but it'll take me a while to teach you how to read." Sapphire teased, cracking up at her own joke. "Oh my God, I'm hilarious."

Sometimes I wonder why the fuck I made you a character.

The night went on, and Sapphire went to the store to buy a bag of dog food and a doggy bed for Mom. Sapphire, too, got ready for bed, and made sure that Mom was comfortable in the living room sleeping.

"You're okay, Mom?" Sapphire asked, poking her head into the living room.

Mom borked, and then did a pleasing pant. Sapphire nodded, giving her a thumbs up.

"Okay, great. Don't worry, I'll have a spell ready for you by tomorrow." Sapphire assured her, "Goodnight."

Sapphire spent the night searching through the book, looking for a particular spell. She wasn't going to sleep until she found the perfect one.

"Ugh, where could it possibly be?" She groaned, flipping through pages. At that moment, she thought she found the perfect one, and sighed with relief. She took a picture of the spell, and closed the book. "Finally!"

Though, she didn't go to sleep. She was thinking about Alyssa. She couldn't stop remembering their hug, and how comfortable it was. Sapphire knew she could stay in that position forever.

Well, unless you were a witch, because humans can't live forever. Naturally, only about 80-

"Don't ruin the fucking moment, author." Sapphire growled, turning on her other side. "I think I like Alyssa."

You do, I'm sure of it.

"How can you be so sure?" Sapphire asked, pulling more of her comforter onto body.

I'm the author, I literally made your character.

"Yeah, but-" Sapphire's phone rang before she say anything else, and she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey, can you stop talking to the author?" Alyssa shouted, "Only the main characters can hear what she says, and I'm hearing fucking mumbles from her! Shut the fuck up!"

Whoops.
