Abra-what the hell-cadabra p1

Chuckling, "You guys traumatized me earlier!

Next time close the door when you and Yurei decide to have sex here." Jasper said jokingly as he walked again into Jihi's office.

Flustered and Annoyed, "You don't have...to bring that...up...every few minutes...besides why are...you here anyways?...I thought you'll...stay in...the workshop." Tacito replied.

"I wanna talk to you Taci, it's time for some deep conversation just like how deep Yurei was-!"

Suddenly, "THAT'S ENOUGH JASPER! PLEASE STOP JOKING!" Tacito screamed.

"Okay calm down! I'll stop." Jasper replied terrified.

Taking a deep breath, "You...wanted to talk...about something right?" Tacito said speaking calmly again.

"Yeah! Taci you're like the only person I feel comfortable talking to right now...Everyone else is being weird." Jasper replied.

"Maybe it's you...who's acting weird...did you think...about it that...way?" Tacito asked.

Raising an eyebrow, "Is it the fact you're sitting in Jihi's desk doing Their paperwork? because you're sounding more and more like Jihi by the minute." Jasper replied.

Sighing, "I haven't had...the chance to...tell you this...but I'm pregnant...it hasn't been...long but Ned...says that it'll...effect my mood...and behavior from...now on." Tacito replied, "So brace yourself." he added.

"Oh, I know about it." Jasper replied casually, "Only the people...who attended my...father's birthday party...know about it...which one of... them told you?...I doubt it's... Yurei." Tacito said curiously.

"I found out myself, I saw your file on mom's desk." Jasper replied, "I see...so...Did you tell...anyone about it?" Tacito asked.

Clearing his throat, "Bold of you to assume I'd meddle in people's personal lives and go around announcing pregnancies, I mean it's me Jasper! everyone's trusty confidant!

Everybody knows it's Jade that can't keep a secret!" Jasper said making Tacito stare at him with suspicion in his eyes, "Jasper...You sound nervous...why?" Taci asked.

Sweating, "Ok Taci...I did tell someone, I'm not sure of that person knowing about it would upset you though." Jasper said.

His stares turning into glares, "Jasper Valentino...who did you...tell about my... pregnancy?" Tacito asked firmly.

"Freddie? Fernando...he thought that Yurei was acting strange, and Asked me to find out why...I stumbled upon your file and told him about it." Jasper answered.

Sighing, "Actually...I don't mind... people knowing about...me being pregnant.

I was going...to tell Fernando...one way or... another.

You just made...it easy for...me...but next time...don't make decisions...for other people...come talk to...me about it... first." Tacito replied.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that...And congratulations, I don't know about Yurei, but I Know you'll make a good parent." Jasper said chuckling.

Taking more deep breaths, "Thank you Jasper...but I don't...appreciate you constantly...picking on Yurei." Tacito said "What if someone...would do the...same to Faunus?" he added.

Taken back by the sudden question, Jasper fell in silence for few seconds, he reached for his left arm where his mark would be, hugging it close.

"I just hate even the thought...of someone picking on Faunus." Jasper spoke, "Yurei and Faunus butt heads often, I guess that's why I've been mean to Yurei." he added.

"Glad to hear some sincerity in your voice, everyone seemed worried about you Jasper, since you're acting out of character lately." A voice spoke-up, "Yurei?... you're back love...is everything alright?" Tacito asked.

"Well, I left earlier because Jasper came here, and I didn't have permission to stay in the office since I don't work here anymore.

Now that I see you Taci, still stuck with that pile of paperwork, I'm glad I came back.

I thought Jasper was going to help you out with all those documents but when I ran into Yuri, they said that Jasper is just staying there to use the workshop, not to help you.

So, I took permission from Yuri to assist you love with whatever I can...two sets of hands work better than one after all." Yurei replied Smiling.

"Btw, Congratulations future dad." Jasper said to Yurei who made a funny confused face after being congratulated.

"He knows we're...having a kid." Tacito explained, "Oh! I see." Yurei replied.

"Speaking of parenthood and stuff.

Mom is keeping me in the dark about what's happening with the imposter thing.

I'm here because I was bored and tired of being casted aside, i thought I should do something useful in the meantime.

Faunus said he's busy helping Mom with something, and my sister is currently on house arrest by Yuri themselves...It's not like I have anything else to do, even Lu is getting ready to get married." Jasper said disappointed.

"Sounds to me like you were brought here against your will, is it some sort of a security measure?" Yurei questioned.

"It is kind of true, Yuri bribed me into coming here, maybe my mom got spooked since the imposter clearly targeted me.

I was about to tell Tacito actually, that i think the reason why my mom wants me off the case, is because of the imposter's identity." Jasper replied.

"And Why is...that?" Tacito asked, "I have an unpleasant theory in my head...but I need some proof to back it." Jasper replied.

"Can you tell us what your theory is?" Yurei asked, "Edward Levine...I think that bastard is the imposter." Jasper replied biting his lips in frustration.

Hearing that, Both Tacito and Yurei looked at each other.

Nodding at each other, "Jasper, can you sit for a moment?" Yurei asked, "Huh, why?" Jasper questioned.

"We know who Edward is...to you." Yurei replied.

...Meanwhile...

Waking-up, "Coco...*Yawning* where Are you?" Muriel asked as he realized he wasn't laying on Socorro's lap anymore.

"Soco left earlier, I'm here baby...She called me because she was uncomfortable leaving you asleep all by yourself." Thorn spoke-up as he walked into the living room, with a glass of water.

"Here, I know you feel nauseated when you wakes-up, so drink it." Thorn spoke again handing the glass to Muriel.

Taking the glass in his hands, "Thank you sugar, Where could Coco have went to? do you have any idea?" Muriel Asked.

"Well I did see her off when she left, and she wasn't alone...do you know if Matilda has any relatives or something like that?" Thorn replied.

Sipping the water, "No...none that I know of? Matilda does not have relatives, as far as I am concerned." Muriel replied back.

"Strange! Soco left earlier with a woman in an Orange work-outfit who looked like a shorter/skinner feminine version of Matilda, the facial resemblance is uncanny! You'd think she's her sister or something!" Thorn said.

Concerned, "Coco left with such woman? did you ask them anything before letting them go?" Muriel asked.

"Soco told me not to worry about her, that she'll be back soon and I did ask her who the woman was, but the Orange lady didn't allow Soco to answer my question, then both of them walked out of the house." Thorn replied, "Do you think we should tell Matilda or something? this does sound like it concerns her a little." He added asking.

"No, let Coco tell Matilda herself, if this does concerns her, she is her mate." Muriel replied.

...Meanwhile...

Walking side by side, "Thank you for agreeing to take me with you on a tour, Lady Orange." Socorro said, "But I believe I should go back now, it's getting late." She added.

"But First, tell me Socorro...What do you think of the academy now? pretty interesting, right?" Lady Orange asked.

"If you're talking about the interior design, it's elegant and well decorated, the library is even bigger than I imagined...everything is beautifully designed.

You'd think this is some university for the super rich, not a magic academy." Socorro said.

"Who does not love The academia aesthetics? Am I right?" Lady Orange replied chuckling.

"You're right...Unfortunately, I was hoping to meet some students, but like you said, everyone is on a vacation since it's the end of the school year for the academy...I have yet to see Anyone else other than the people working here." Socorro said.

"How unfortunate indeed, meeting students might convince you better.

If you do accept my offer like I said, You would have to only study here for one year, and then Next year you can come back as an employee yourself, that is of course after taking a certain test that would determinate what job you should work." Lady Orange replied.

"And like I said, despite being fascinated by this place, I really do enjoy working my current job.

So the possibility of me coming back as an employee, is even slimmer than actually attending this school." Socorro replied back smiling.

"You still have some time, you must think about the offer carefully Socorro." Lady Orange said but When she noticed someone nearby, "Oh! there she is!

Socorro, When you asked earlier for a tour, I contacted a specific employee, and I will introduce you to her right now." She added while waving at that person.

Curious, Socorro watched as the person Lady Orange waved at, approached them.

Her eyes went wide open when that someone turned out to be none other than "Miss Norma Kelly?" Socorro said in surprise.

However, "Hello, Miss Belmonte." Norma (Kimberly) greeted her calmly, with a smile.

Confused, "Norma, did you two already meet?" Lady Orange asked.

"Yes, Miss Belmonte and I are acquainted, through a mutual friend." Norma replied, weirding Socorro out.

"What are you doing here?" Socorro asked, "Working...the movie project hasn't started yet, most of the preparations aren't done and we can't even start before Mallory takes some acting classes...that woman just keeps getting herself hospitalized." Norma replied.

"I don't understand...You've been working here? for how long and how come nobody noticed?" Socorro asked.

"I am an actress Socorro, it's my job to lie, fool and Act as someone I'm not.

However people did notice, my friends have...recently, since it's the new year's event, my work load has increased which means I'm coming here more often." Norma replied.

"Miss Norma Kelly is relatively a new employee, it's been only a year since she began working with us.

However we know her since she was a teenager, Miss Kelly was a student herself, many years ago." Lady Orange explained.

"Last year, I wasn't getting many gigs, and if I did, I was always some side or extra character, And to be honest I felt sad about it.

Then I was contacted by Lady Orange about a job offer." Norma said.

"You were a student here?" Socorro asked, "Just like You Socorro, Miss Norma Kelly is a genius Witch!

She was just 14 when she graduated from here, and! she also studies for only a year." Lady Orange said proudly.

"That year I was living with my grandma, she signed me up, so nobody suspected a thing.

After graduation, I started going to a normal highschool, where I met my friends there...and started living a more human non-magical Life, while simultaneously pursuing my passion for acting." Norma said.

"I don't understand, wasn't that way before your transition?" Socorro questioned making Norma chuckle.

"I figured from a very young age that I was an egg, my grandma supported and protected me when I came out...And so did lady Orange." Norma replied.

"She was previously known as 'Kimberly Clarkson', When her grandmother spoke to me about Her application, I assured her that our school accepted Girls of all types, even ones who still did not have the surgery yet.

Everyone here treated Miss Kelly for who she is, a 'She'." Lady Orange explained with a hint of proudness in her voice.

Despite her mind still processing what just happened, "So, what's your job exactly?" Socorro asked.

"Oh, me? I'm a professor." Norma replied smiling.
