-10

After being scolded by Lucinda a few more times we finally headed towards her house. As we approached the house, Lucinda shot me a glare and motioned for the door.

"Please hurry. I have very important research to do." Lucinda said with a slight sigh.

I gave her a nod before entering the house. Everything was the same besides a few decorations knocked to the floor.

"Kawaii~Chan?" I called out.

I headed up the stairs and...everything was a mess. Broken potion bottles lay scattered across the floor and bright colored liquid was everywhere. My eyes scanned the room before they landed on a pink cat with bright sun-like eyes.

"Kawaii~Chan?" I questioned as I peered closer.

The cat slowly came down from one of the many potion shelves and sat on the counter facing me. I laughed slightly, "I can't believe it. You turned into an actual cat."

She narrowed her eyes. Soon after, Lucinda came up the stairs. "Okay, this is the deal. I'll help return Kawaii~Chan to normal and BOTH of you will help me clean this mess up."

I nodded in understanding but Kawaii~Chan looked away and shook her head. "What? Why not??...Oh wait. Can you even speak in this form?" I asked.

There was silence, then Lucinda nudged me with her elbow and whispered, "Isn't she still mad at you? For...ya know. Cheating on her and all?"

I was surprised slightly by her words. Cheating? Oh crap!! The kiss with Nicole! I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to speak to Kawaii~Chan.

"Kawaii~Chan...I'm really sorry about what happened earlier at your house. I just want to clarify that I have no romantic relationship with Nicole....and why she kissed me in front of you...she was jealous so please. Let us get you back to your regular form and then we can talk?"

Kawaii~Chan was hesitiant but finally looked towards me and nodded her head in understanding. Afterwards, Lucinda and I browsed through all her books on potion transformation. I scanned all the words in the book I picked but found nothing. Thid went on for a good two hours before Lucinda chimed.

"Aha! I found it!" Lucinda yelled in an excited tone.

I quickly set my book down and hurried to her side to look at the page she had open.

"So what ingredients do we need?" I asked.

"Well, we need sugar, hot water, cold water, butterfly pea flower extract, fine salt, citrus acid, and lastly juice of half a lime." Lucinda read the ingredients from the book.

(A/N Btw I didn't just throw in some random ingredients😆 I'm using a recipe from Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hide book I found online.)

"Well that sounds easy enough but where would we get the butterfly pea flower? I don't think I've ever heard of something like that before." I said.

Lucinda thought for a minute before replying, "I think you can buy it in markets. Dante, you should go ask Logan and I'll gather the other ingredients."

I nodded and left Lucinda's house and headed to our towns market area. There, Logan was rearranging his stall.

"Logan!" I called out as I approached him.

He gave a slight groan before turning to face me. "What?" He asked a bit annoyed.

"So some complicated things came up and I need Butterfly pea flower extract." I said.

Logan then turned to a box behind him and began rummaging through it. "You came at the right time. I just got a small shipment of them from the supply ship." Logan said as he turned back towards me and set a small blue bottle in front of me."

I smiled, "You're a lifesaver Logan! How much is it?"

He thought for a second and said, "Just take it. It's not a very popular item even though it is useful. I don't sell much of it though so no point in keeping it and letting it take up space."

"Thank you sooo much! I'll repay you soon!" I said happily, grabbed the bottle and headed back to Lucinda's.

********

The ingredients were all gathered and we headed down to Lucinda's kitchen where she had the water boiling. Lucinda read me the instructions as I did what I was told.

I mixed together the sugar and hot water until the sugar disolved. Next, I set it aside to chill for a bit. Lucinda grabbed me a mug and set it down on the counter as I poured the hot water with disolved sugar into the mug, then topped it with the cold water. I then dropped in a few drops of the Butterfly pea flower extract and stirred it until it became a dark blue color. Next was to mix in the salt and citric acid into the blue liquid. Lastly, I squeezed the half lime into the liquid and stirred it again.

It was finished. All that was next was to have Kawaii~Chan drink it.

Lucinda and I watched impatiently as Kawaii~Chan approached the mug and lowered her head down to the blue liquid. She then began to lap up the liquid. Her face scrunched up in disgust and she quickly finished drinking it.

Kawaii~Chan pulled away from the mug and shuttered before looking at Lucinda and then at me. It was silent until bright white sparklies formed around Kawaii~Chan. Her eyes widened and suddenly with a 'poof' she was back to her regular self.

(Quuuuestion for all of ya! What were you for Halloween??)
