Aaron and Madi Across The Multiverse Sidestory #1: Sabrina The Animated Series

Chapter 3: Boogie Shoes

It was the week of the school dance when trouble came again. This is also the time of the year where Gem and I play 'cat and mouse'. Guess who was the mouse, folks? At least I managed to avoid her for the past four days, two hours, thirty-five minutes and forty-nine seconds since the dance was announced, but who's counting? Okay, fine I was counting.

Anyways, Sabrina was about to ask Harvey, whom I was sitting next to on the bench, to the dance. Hopefully, they'll start dating, Sabrina can tell her secret to Harvey and I won't have to act like Sabrina doesn't know that I'm magical at all around Harvey any more.

"80s Retro Dance." Sabrina said as I facepalmed. How had she not noticed it at all? However, she gasped and I looked over to see why. Gem was looking at the poster too, despite the fact she knew about the dance. Most likely to rub it in Sabrina's face. And I know two things that'll happen. One, she'll ask Harvey. Two, she'll ask me.

Just as Gem was about to ask Harvey, Sabrina threw a cupcake into her mouth. Sure hope Gem doesn't try suing Sabrina for everything she has. She fell in front of Harvey and me, of course. "Um, Sabrina, are you okay?" I asked her in concern with a eyebrow raised. "Sure, thanks for asking." Sabrina said as I helped her up.

"Hi Harvey." Sabrina then said with a pile of dirt on her head. A worm poke out from it, surprising Sabrina. "Hey 'Brina. Kinda new look you got going there." Harvey said. "Oh, yeah. Well, Uncle Quigley is letting me wear makeup now." Sabrina said as she brushed off the dirt. "Yeah, makeup." I muttered under my breath as the worm parachuted off Sabrina's head.

"But enough of this chit-chat. You know, the school dance is Friday." Sabrina told Harvey. "It is?" Harvey asked, shock and horrified given his face. "Yep. So I was wondering if you wanted to, you know, go with me. To the dance. And do some dancing and stuff." Sabrina said as Harvey gulped and started sweating up a storm.

"Uh, sorry. I got other plans." Harvey said with chattering teeth. "He's going with me instead." Gem said as she spit out the cupcake. "Uh, actually, I'm not going with either of you." Harvey said. "Huh?" Sabrina and Gem said in unison.

"I-I-I'm not going with either of you because-because I'm not going to the dance!" Harvey exclaimed, shocking everyone except for me. I'm pretty sure even a space shuttle stop because of what Harvey said.

"Uh yeah. I wouldn't be caught dead at some stupid dance with everyone dancing and drinking punch and laughing and having fun." Harvey said, trying to play it off as a cool person as he walked off. "Yuck." He added. "What's up with him?" Sabrina asked.

"Sabrina, everyone is entitled to their own opinions." I said to her. "What about Tim the witchsmeller?" She asked. "We all know he's deserve that and you know I'm right. You all know I'm right!" I exclaimed like a certain critic on YouTube.

"Well, Aaron. Do you want to...?" Gem was about to ask. "No! I rather be fed to a kraken or be turned to the dark side by Kevin Smith doing the role of Ares than go to the dance with you!" I told Gem as I walked away. "You can't walk away from your destiny!" Gem call after me. "I just did!" I retorted over my shoulder.

A mini Ares appear on my shoulder, like a tiny devil. "So, like you said before, wanna join the dark side?" He asked me. "No." I said bluntly. "I'll make you join me, just like I tried to with Xena." Ares said. "Yeah, how did that worked out for you?" I asked before flicking him away. "You will join me and become a warlord, like your mother and Xena did before you!" Ares cried out as he was in the air. "Yeah, right." I snorted as I walked in the school building.

After school, Sabrina and I went to her house, to see Salem with pants that made his butt look big. "I'll get you for this, Hilda!" Salem exclaimed as he left the room. "Do I wanna know or do I wanna keep my sanity intact?" I asked Hilda and Zelda. "Hey, Salem ask for your opinions." They said. "I going with option B." I said as Sabrina sighed in sadness.
