Chapter 5: Para Esteban

It was mid afternoon in Hex Isle as our two amigos, Rosa and Esteban, were having a picnic atop a giant grub. "So, my mom enrolled me into Charcast, and ever since then, I've been studying Garden Magic," the glasses wearing teen explained. "Magnifico!!! Now we can be bruja amigos!!!!" Rosa cheered, hugging Esteban. "Gracias chica, learned any new spells lately?" He asked. "I did learn one, though it's a strange one from my class, a liquidation spell, but that was for making music with half full glasses," the teen explained. "Hmm, by those circumstances, let's do it," Esteban got out his phone to take a picture. He came towards his friend and sat next to her as she placed her hand on her light blue casting rug and drew a splat while her friend's phone reflected the spell into him. "Nothing happened, extraño, right Esteban?" Rosa asked as her friend wasn't there. "Esteban?" She said again, looking around to find her friend, only finding a light red liquid. "Esteban? Dónde estás?" The teen girl picks up her friend's phone, and saw the picture he took, showing him in his body shape, but him being the color of the liquid she saw prior. "Oh sssshhhooootttt!!!!" The teen said in slow motion. "Uh Rosa?" A voice came from beneath her. "What was that? Esteban?" She asked. "It is me chica," the liquid answered. "Esteban!!!! Gracias a dios you're ok!!!!" Rosa screamed. "Uh, no ofensa, but you turned me into a liquid," he remarked. "Lo siento compañero, my bad," the teen girl replied. "Now what?" Esteban asked. "Hmmm, la biblioteca, that's it," Rosa had an idea, to go to the Hex Isle library. "C'mon grub, to the library!!!!" She said. "I have a name you know, it's Shermy," the bug remarked. "Oh, let's go then Shermy."
After a lot of travelling,  the three arrived at the Hex Isle library, where Rosa parked the grub near it, leaving Esteban alone in his liquid form. "Is anyone gonna care I'm stuck like this," he remarked. While in the library, Rosa found the librarian, Neville Greene, who just also happens to be Chipper's dad. "Perdóneme Seńor Greene, do you have a book on reversing spells?" Rosa whispered to him. "Oh, yes, and no need to whisper, since magic available yo is, it can help us block out sounds as well," he explained. "Bien!!!" The girl shouted, echoing throughout the area. "Ssshhhh!!!!!!" The witches in the library told her. "But not too loud," Neville replied. "Oh," Rosa sighed. The two looked through the library's spellbooks and found an old dusty red one that had an empty bottle on the cover. "What's this one?" Rosa asked, picking it up. "Oh that, it's outdated, it's just a book on potions," the librarian explained. "Estupendo, that's exactly what we might need," the teen opened the old book and found instructions to brew a solidity potion. "Oooo, can I check this out por favor?" Rosa asked. "Sure, you can even keep it, witches haven't used potions in millennia," Neville replied. 
The teen ran outside the library in excitement, finding that Shermy and even her liquefied amigo were gone. "What the hache? Shermy and Esteban have disappeared, this is no bueno," she said. Then out of the blue, she saw a giant crane carry the giant bug, but with no red liquid in sight. "Excuse me sir, what are you doing to that grub?" She asked the witch operating the crane. "Oh, we're sending it far away from here," he replied. "And the red stuff on it?" Rosa said to him. "That stuff? We sent it to somewhere, all I know is that it was in a barrel and started screaming," the wurker explained. "Esteban!!!!" The teen ran off in a huff with no easy way of transportation. "Oh my goodness!!!!!! I can't believe myself!!!! I'm so dumb!!!!!!" She screamed, pushing everyone in her way. While running, she ran into Dolores, who was talking to the witch Rosa met earlier. "It's not my fault he parked in a no parking zone between 2 to 8 PM!!!!!! These laws need to be changed!!!!!!!!" She ranted at him. "I'm sorry ma'am, rules are rules," he replied. "I didn't even use it, I leanded it to my student for her picnic!!!!!!" She yelled back. "Do I have to call the police? This place us owned by CastCore and we are a high ranking business!!!!!!" He remarked. "Ok, ok, don't get too hasty now sarge," the witch tapped her finger on her casting rug, drew a few swirls, and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving only a bag of cotton candy behind. "Ugh!!!! I hate the witch!!!! Always getting away!!!!!" He yelled. 
In speaking of getting away, Rosa followed in her mentor's direction to tell her what happened. "Dolores!!! Dolores!!!! Darse la vuelta!!!!!!" She waved her hands and got the old witch's attention  "What's up nińa?" She asked. "Problemo, big problemo, I accidentally turned Esteban into a liquid, and then I let him get sent far away, I'm a malo amigo," tears filled the teen's eyes as she felt guilty for everything that went wrong. "Rosa, it's not your fault, bad things in life happen, why don't I teach you something my mother Cera taught me, it's called Focus Pocus," Dolores tapped her rug and drew a xylophone, summoning one. "Ahem, When things go wrong when ya get upset and life just won't go your way, it makes you wanna cry, hake and shout, sing, 'Why, why, why?'," She started to sing and play the xylophone. "When you're upside down with a nasty frown, it hurts so bad inside, you can't tell wrong from right, it don't make sense what an awful sight, but remember this song and it won't be long, it's gonna be alright," she continued, lifting her student's spirits. "I know it's hard when you fall apart, but you're still good inside, hust remember these steps take a nice, deep breath, it's gonna be alright," she finished and created a wind spell to send Rosa off. "It's gonna be alriiight," Rosa sang as she landed at her destination. She landed in a pile of junk and a found a barrel. "Esteban? Buddy? Compańero?" She looked inside and found who she was looking for. "Rosa!!!!" Esteban cheered. "I thought you would never find me." "Lo siento, now we can make that potion," his friend replied. "No need nińos, I already have a way to fix this," Dolores appeared, bringing a stone mold of Esteban. "No need for outdated methods, all we just need is a mold and the liquid," she placed the liquid in the mold and spun it around with her finger, bringing the make teen back to his original form. "Gracias a dios!!!! Everything is as it should be," he said. "Si," the two girls agreed. 
"Hello? Is anybody coming? Shermy's waitin'" the grub said, feeling neglected.
