Zelda soon gave them each a worksheet to test on what they remembered from learning about mythical creatures during the school week as she began to read a book until they would be done. Of course, the first ones to finish their tests were the Fudo siblings.
"Thank you," Zelda smiled to them. "You kids have always been fast learners."
"Guess it's because of our dad." Akito smiled back.
"Ah, yes, Atticus was always a good student," Zelda smiled. "I always imagined if I had a son of my own, that he would be smart, sweet, and handsome like him."
"Why don't you have any children, Ms. Zelda?" Estelle wondered.
Zelda sighed a bit. "I never met the right witch like my brother and sister."
"Really?" Vincent asked.
"I'm afraid not," Zelda replied. "It's okay though, I don't mind being single while Edward's with Diana or Hilda's with Drell. I'm happy the way I am."
The Fudo siblings could tell that Zelda was trying not to look sad as they sat back down, but they didn't say anything about it. That was until Estelle saw two heart crystals appear. Zelda soon waited while wiping her eyes with a sad smile.
"Hmm..." Estelle paused as she took out the two heart pieces out of curiosity. And where she soon saw that the first one was Zelda and the other was a warlock. "Who is that...?" she asked herself.
"Who's Zelda gonna marry, Salem?" Vincent chuckled to himself jokingly.
"Very funny, Vince." Estelle rolled her eyes playfully.
"We'll have to find out." Akito said.
"I don't recognize him..." Estelle said as she looked with her brothers.
Eventually, Zelda began to suspect something and wandered over to her students.
"You think maybe Mom and Dad know him?" Vincent wondered.
"He... He actually does kind of look like-" Akito replied.
"What are you three doing back here?" Zelda called to them. She soon noticed the two heart crystals. "What...?" she then asked.
"Sorry, Ms. Zelda, but... You just seem so lonely..." Estelle told her magic teacher.
"Oh, dears, I'm fine, really," Zelda told them. "You don't need to be in a relationship to be happy."
"Maybe, but it would be happy to share some love with another." Estelle smiled.
"I suppose so... Very well, I'll humor you..." Zelda said before taking a look at the heart pieces to see who she was destined to be with. "N-No way! Why... I haven't seen him in centuries!" she then gasped.
"Who is it, Ms. Zelda?" Akito asked. "Who's that other warlock?"
"Why, that's Cyrus Delacroix." Zelda replied.
"Well, if these heart crystals are showing you two, then that must mean-" Estelle started.
"No, no, no," Zelda smiled sheepishly, waving her hand a bit. "That's okay... Really... I'm fine."
The others thought otherwise until the bell rang.
"Well, there's the bell," Zelda told the students. "Have a good weekend, everyone. See you on Monday. I know you're going to love the dance."
"Isn't the dance tonight?" Vincent asked.
"Yes, but today is Friday...?" Zelda reminded.
The Fudo siblings looked to each other and soon went off.
"Have fun!" Zelda told them before they soon left and she took a look at the heart pieces, deep in thought. And where she couldn't stop thinking that maybe she should give this a chance.
Before everyone knew it, it was the night of the big dance as they were soon coming to the school in their new outfits. Chloe, Sasha, Jade, and Yasmin soon came over to the dance in their own special way, looking like movie stars as they always knew how to make an entrance. And where they soon saw Estelle arriving with Lee.
"Well, this looks like a wonderful affair." Lee smiled to Estelle as they linked arms.
"Oh, yes, quite." Estelle smiled back, her hair having been styled in a bun almost like Cinderella's.
The Bratz girls soon walked up to Estelle.
"Girls..." Estelle said softly. "Hi."
"Hi, Estelle." Chloe replied.
"Can we talk?" Jade asked softly.
"Oh! Of course," Estelle replied. "Lee, would you mind a moment?"
"Of course not," Lee smiled. "I'll get us some punch." He then walked inside, leaving Estelle and the Bratz girls alone to talk.
"Erm... What's up?" Estelle asked.
"Estelle, I don't know what came over us hanging around Tammy, but... We're sorry." Jade said.
"It's okay, girls, it wasn't your fault." Estelle smiled.
"It wasn't?" Sasha asked.
"Let's just say you guys have a lot to learn about the magic of friendship..." Estelle winked with a small giggle.
The Bratz girls seemed a bit confused.
"Hello, my lovely lady." A blonde boy with light blue eyes smiled.
"Cameron." Chloe smiled back to him.
"Hope I'm not too late." Cameron smiled back.
"Not at all," Chloe smiled. "Just talking with our best friend before we head in."
"Cool," Cameron smiled back. "I'll meet you inside then."
Cameron then went off and Chloe, Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade looked back to Estelle.
"We're sorry, Twinkle Toes," Sasha cooed. "Friends again?"
"Friends." Estelle smiled to them before they all shared a group hug together.
After their group hug, they soon went inside. They all smiled together as they knew tonight was going to be a great night, not just for the dance, but also for their friendship. And as for Tammy, she only seemed to have Zoe by her side that night. Zoe applied some make-up, looking in her compact mirror while Tammy tapped her foot before seeing that the Bratz girls were back with Estelle.
"All's well that ends well, huh, Tammy?" Megan smirked.
"How are they back to being friends with that loser?" Tammy glared.
"I guess she has a wonderful personality like they do and they're not judgmental witches like you." Megan replied.
"Who asked you anyway?!" Tammy glared.
"You did~" Megan smirked before walking off.
Tammy growled in mild frustration while Zoe just focused on her make-up. Portia and Tony soon came in.
"Ah, Portia, she'll help me." Tammy smirked before running off to go see the witch girl.
"That's a very nice dress, Portia," Tony smiled. "I'm not one for fashion, but it brings out your eyes."
"Oh, thank you." Portia blushed a bit.
As they were about to join the others, Tammy came over.
"Oh! Uh, hi, Tammy." Portia said.
"Portia, those girls are ignoring me and hanging out with Estelle again!" Tammy complained, pointing to Estelle with her new friends.
"Oh... Too bad..." Portia replied.
"You have tell me why this is happening!" Tammy glared.
"Oh... Yeah... You don't have the magic to manipulate them anymore." Portia said.
"Why not?!" Tammy glared.
"I think your luck just ran out, Blondie." Tony snorted.
"Excuse me?!" Tammy glared.
"Your. Lucky. Just-" Tony replied.
"I heard what you said!" Tammy snapped. "Portia, I thought we were friends."
"Yeah, well, so did I." Portia glared slightly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tammy glared back.
"Tammy, did you even really like hanging out with me or were you just using me for that necklace?" Portia asked.
"Look, those girls are pretty and popular," Tammy glared. "I don't know what they would want anything to do with Estelle Fudo. She's not even pretty OR popular like us!"
"Estelle is SO pretty!" Lee glared as he overheard that. "She's probably the most beautiful girl I've ever met, not only on the outside, but on the inside too, and that's why I could never love someone like YOU, Tammy!"
Everyone gasped as the discussion was heard.
"But you have to love me!" Tammy said to Lee. "I'm pretty! I'm popular!"
"You are a spoiled, obnoxious, self-obsessed brat!" Lee glared at her. "I could never love someone like that! Sure you're pretty and popular, but I love Estelle because she's a great person with a big heart and a wonderful personality! She's always thinking of others, she's always helping her friends when they need it, and you, Tammy, are NO friend!"
"Oh, Lee." Estelle whispered.
Lee soon left Tammy to get back to his date to the dance as he had gotten two cups of punch. Tammy looked shocked and overwhelmed that she seemed to be all alone in the dance now as everyone went back to having a good time.
"Punch?" Lee smiled to Estelle.
"Yes, please, it looks good," Estelle smiled back before sipping some. "Mm! Fruity."
"Well, it is fruit punch." Lee smiled back.
"Ah, yes," Estelle giggled. "It's very sweet too. Uh, Lee, did you mean all of those things you said?"
Lee smiled warmly. "Of course I did."
"Aw!" The girls, minus Zoe and Tammy, smiled.
Tammy rolled her eyes while Zoe wasn't even paying attention.
Estelle smiled warmly as she really earned her happy ending by learning more about friendship and it seemed like she had made another new friend which would be Portia since she and Tony seemed to be getting close with each other, but what she didn't know was that she would be on a Pretty Cure mission. But that's for another story. Tammy was still complaining and was soon asked the leave the dance which made Estelle and the Bratz girls laugh a little as they began to continue having fun at the dance for the rest of the night, and it was truly the beginning of a wonderful and new friendship.
The End
