BIBBIDI BOBBIDI BOO

Baby: That's good! Congratulations by the way! Have you picked out a major yet?

Baby: I'm okay, I've just been keeping myself super busy. Wow, we really haven't? That's wild! I have fairy godsiblings, how cool! You two are fairies, right? My knowledge of different fairy types isn't very thorough yet and I don't know which ones, if any, aren't genetic.

Shray: No, for the first time I am 'going with the flow'. The plan was political science, but obviously leadership isn't as attainable a dream anymore. So I'm keeping my options open.

Baby: Hey so... this is late. But I meant to talk to you right after, then after the funeral, then at any point this summer and then as sooon as we all got back to campus and saw all this new stuff in town but um...I suck. How are you and Sara doing? Do you two like need anything?

Shray: Oh, wow, thanks for reaching out! I'm doing alright. Prom king and stuff, then dove headfirst into my studies.

Truly, very afraid. And mostly confused. Why stalk me? I mean, obviously I’m devilishly handsome and extremely intelligent, but I’m what the kids call ‘a fucking loser’ in most other capacities. I don’t even have the clout of being the Walt heir anymore. So it’d really be a pointless endeavor, don’t you think? 

@ZephyrAgnes: CONGRATULATIONS! I KNEW YOU'D GET IT! TOLD YOUUUU!

@ShrayMajik: You did, and you were totally right! I mean, I ran unopposed and then my mother died, so the school would be um....is 'assholes' the right word? They'd be assholes if they didn't vote for me.

I’m so glad to hear that you’re feeling better; I can’t even imagine what you must be going through. If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know, even if I’m not sure what that’d be… do dogs make you feel better? I have a lot of those to spare! Or if there’s anger you need to work through, you have my permission to text me mean things. It won’t hurt my feelings and if it helps someone else, that’s always a bonus.

Oh my goodness, I could never text mean things to someone so innocent! Thank you, though, for offering your ear and your dogs. I’ve done months of grief therapy, and admittedly, coming back to this new place did set me back a little bit mentally, but it was just a hurdle. I’m now prepared to delve entirely into my studies and get back as much as I had of a social life. How was your time away, though, Stanley?

Needless to say, I’m very glad I ended up going after all.  😌

No. In fact, I really think we’ll grow to love this new Walt!

Mother, I tried. This was the best I could come up with. I’m just not powerful enough yet and I know that’s not my fault. Walt will be back, but not under Majik leadership and...I’ve failed. 

Maybe one day I will grow this, but til then, this is the only piece of Old Walt that exists. 

Zephyr: Oh! Cool! What direction did she steer you in that you never thought of before? But I'm glad you're flattered instead of mad at me still!!!

Zephyr: 😊😊😊 It's so good to hear that! I feel the same way! And your actions weren't anything Compared to mine! I was being a total crazy and I'm so so so soooo sorry about it btw. 🥺🥺🥺

Zephyr: Really?! Of course it's alright! You'll make such a good Prom King, Shray!!! I'd love to help!

The second announcement might be the more exciting of the two, depending on who you are. But yes, this is my announcement that I am running for prom king! It’s been my dream for my whole high school career, and I’m very excited to begin my campaign! If you have any questions or comments on how I can run my campaign, please let me know. I’m all ears! 

Despite her negative prejudgment, Sofia snickered at Shray’s description of his video. “Your poor mother!” she told him, while making a mental note to see the video for herself later. It was nice to remember that her idols, like Fairy Godmother, were real people just like anyone else, after all. Shray’s video sounded very humanizing! She quickly focused on what else he was saying, though, and found herself fascinated by what she heard. “Oh?” Sofia asked, arching an eyebrow. It sounded an awful lot like an incident her sophomore year, when she’d gone to quite extreme measures to ensure that Boo had been her partner on the flour baby project, and she looked at Shray pointedly. “Why do you think someone would do something absurd to make sure they are in your company? You’ve always been quite smart, Shray; I’m sure you must have some guess.”

He shrugged, chuckling. “It’s a new thing I’m trying -- mischief is a good look on me, I think!” He crossed his arms, leaning back to gauge how Sofia might react to Zephyr’s betrayal. He was still trying to make sense of it himself, but wondered what Sofia might have to add. He valued her opinion, though a small part of him might have hoped for a hint of jealousy from her. But instead, he got some vague response that seemed like it might be baiting him for a certain answer. “Well, I don’t know -- to keep me from finding my true love? To ruin my night? To frame me into looking like a two-timer? There’s only so many ways this could go,” he shrugged. “Unless....I don’t know, I was extremely adamant about winning you at the auction that summer that I would’ve done something similar to edge out...” He grimaced, trying his best to respect the girl’s boyfriend and call him his preferred name. “...Boo. But that was only because I really liked you.” 

I know this year’s prom theme. 

I tried an alcoholic beverage over the Winter break. It was great and, as the kids say, ‘lit’!
