Things seemed to mellow out a lot. Their next meet up during spring break was a mall tour and the other school staff just seemed to accept them. Chelsey being the amazon woman carrying a tiger, and Demona being a friend with a lot of secrets. Still, they were very kind and very friendly. The mall tour was where this came more clear, as Demona was practically stumbling with every step.
The lady was dragging her feet at the back of the group, and she only didn’t fall behind because Chelsey was following behind her. She would help pull her along with the group, and even that was difficult with one arm already carrying a stuffed animal. There came a point where Chelsey went to grab Demona’s arm again, and it was squishy like jelly. Quickly, she pulled Demona off to a photo booth, tugged her inside with her, and then closed the curtain.
“Demona, what’s going on.” Chelsey asked, “You’re really off today.”
“It’s just magic.” Demona said, her body reshaping back to her monstrous form. “I can fix it.” She started waving her hands, “I can fix it.. Then fix you..”
“I get that, Dem, but that’s not what I’m talking about.” Chelsey said, “You look like you’re exhausted, What’s happening?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” Demona said, but saw the look on Chelsey’s face, “I was up studying, trying to learn more about charms and these spells. I was practicing all night, and a little more this morning.”
“Did you ever sleep?”
Demona nodded, “Yeah, of course… then I did more of… this…” She waved her tentacles to cast a spell, but the colors and aura around it were different. “Wait… no no… Look, I do this all the time, it’s no big deal.”
“Yeah, maybe, you were when you just focused on you.” Chelsey said, “But you’re using this even more while we’re having these days out, AND you’re using your magic on me constantly.”
Suddenly there was a knocking sound outside the machine, "Give us a moment," Chelsey snapped, "We're having some issues with the money reader in here!" She turned back to Demona.
“Yeah… Yeah, I am… I’m using magic A LOT..”
“Dem, I think you’re overdoing it.” Chelsey said, “Maybe all this spell casting has tired you out.”
More knocking was heard.
“What? Is that what it looks like?” Demona said, “No no, it couldn’t be. I got some sleep in between… and then I cast more spells… and I shifted a lot in between.”
“Well, cast this spell one more time, alright?” Chelsey said, “I’m-"
Then the knocking persisted,
"Give us a moment!"
"Um, not to be a bother, but I think you pay for the booth out here."
Chelsey groaned and pulled out some money from her purse. "Just set some in for us, I'm in the middle of something."
She held the money out through the curtain and then someone took it. Finally she got back to Demona. "I'm gonna text the others and say you need to go home and rest. I should be able to finish some time with them, and get home again before this charm on Mr. Stripes wear off.”
Between the flashes in the booth, Demona’s ears lowered but she smiled with a sigh, “You’re a good friend, Chel.”
“I have my moments.” Chelsey smiled, “Besides, you’re looking out for me while you fix this whole mess. And in a couple more days, it’ll be over completely. Now cast the spells.”
Demona Cast a spell on the plush doll, causing Chelsey to shift a bit, but nothing ripped that time. Then she cast a spell on herself. They soon both got out, and 2 other people walked inside.
"Now let's get you home." Chelsey said,
"But what about our photos?"
Chelsey was a bit confused, but then she remembered and looked back to the booth, outside was a strip of photos roll out. It had all pictures of them as monsters. Chelsey stuffed it in her purse immediately, and then rushed Demona out of the mall.
