Chapter Description: Gwen reversed her spell and things are back to the way they are. Well almost...
Chapter Thirteen: Back to Normal, Almost
‘In recent news, a huge explosion has been reported in a forest somewhere near the city of Louisville, Kentucky. Campers and residents heard the blast and called the fire departments the moment they witness fire coming out through the woods. The moment the fire squads headed to the fire, they noticed what appears to be a mansion hidden within the forest. No one knows how a big cottage was doing in the middle of nowhere or why it was hidden for so long. What we do know so far was that this mansion suffered a horrendous explosion and it was caused by either a gas leak or a fire of some kind. An investigation is still underway.’
In the trailer park at a town close to the city, the Rustbucket was parked within the mess of trailers. In the RV, both Ben and Grandpa Max watched the television and as the news reporter talked about the fire in the destroyed mansion they were in. They were surprised that they didn’t find any proof that they were in there nor word of Charmcaster’s body. Ben just pounds his fist to the table and couldn’t believe it.
Ben: “Are you serious?! We’ve been through all that and they didn’t say they found Charmcaster? This is just ridiculous!”
Max sighed to himself and rubbed the temples on his head in aggravation. He then relaxed himself and decided to let this one slide.
Grandpa Max: “Well at least we know that she’s still alive. But judging by the fight and the blast, it would take her a long time before she could recover from that ordeal.”
With that, Ben got up and started to make himself feel a little more confident.
Ben: “Well if she ever comes back to attack us, you know that I will be ready to take her down!”
He pointed to himself and had that cocky smile on his face. But then, he heard a voice of a very familiar person.
Gwen: “Don’t be too sure of that you brain dead dewfus.”
He turned behind him and saw Gwen sitting down reading her new spell book. After getting out of the cottage, Gwen used her spell book and found the reversal spells to get back to normal. Now she’s back to her old age with her short orange hair, blue tight T with a cat icon imprinted on it, white Capri pants, and slip on shoes. As she was reading, Ben approached her and was a little curious.
Ben: “I still don’t understand why your reading this one when you haven’t finished with the other.”
Gwen peered her eyes upwards and told him why.
Gwen: “Well, after what happened at the mansion, I think it’s wise to learn more of these spells and see if I could control those powers. After all, I need to be extra careful with those new spells. You remember what happened to me with the reversal spell.”
Ben cocked an eyebrow and had a smirky smile on his face.
Ben: “Oh yeah… I remember that all too well.”
Flashback…
The moment they got back to the RV and drove away before they get into any trouble, Gwen placed the new spell book on the floor after she found the reversal spell that could revert her to her old self. As she was getting ready, Ben and Max looked down at the book and wondered if that’s going to work.
Ben: “Uh… You’re sure this is the right one?”
The older Gwen looked at them and told them for the millionth time.
Adult Gwen: “Yes. I’ve already told you. I’ve been looking through this book and spotted the spell that would reverse my condition.”
Ben: “And you sure this is safe.”
Adult Gwen: “Please… If it was too dangerous to cast, whoever wrote it shouldn’t have put it in the first place. Besides, I should know.”
Benjamin rolled his eyes around and reminded her what happened the last time.
Ben: “Yeah… Just like what happened when you wanted to get more powerful and in the end grown into a young woman with out of control powers.”
Gwendolyn looked at her cousin and gave him a deep glare. But she quickly went back to her new book and prepared for the spell.
Adult Gwen: “All right, here goes nothing.”
She took a deep breath and was about to begin. But then, she looked up and saw both her cousin and grandfather standing there watching. A little nervous, she looked at them and told them to leave.
Adult Gwen: “Um… Maybe you guys should let me do this privately. I don’t want anything bad happening to you.”
The two looked at each other and decided to stay put.
Grandpa Max: “No. We are going to stay here and make sure that everything is okay. If things go wrong, we have to intervene just in case.”
Ben: “Grandpa’s right Gwen. If anything bad happens, we need to make sure that this spell doesn’t make your condition a whole lot worse.”
Gwen sighed to herself and knew this would be inevitable.
Adult Gwen: “Okay, fine… But it’s going to be your funeral.”
She then went down in an Indian position and slowly began chanting her words.
Adult Gwen: [color=#800080]“Kada Atoi Nanu Upa. Marpatche Targasha Workuca Chu. Taka Nani Ayushova. Atoic Reversa Revetaku!”[/color]
As soon as she said those words, blue powder like magic came out of the book and surrounded the young woman. Within moments, she was levitating in the air as the powder consumed her entire body. Max and Ben watched on as they notice their family member change right before their eyes. They watched on as her body started to get smaller and younger. Down through her teens she went as her body eroded, her breasts shrinking by cup sizes, her hips and hourglass figure flattening, her hair shortening, muscles loosing tones, and her face becoming childish. She then went into a reverse puberty as all the things that would’ve made her a woman vanished without a trace. She continued to get younger and younger until she is back to her old age. When the changes were finished, she lowered to the ground and the magical powder disappeared. With the spell finished, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself. Upon observation, a smile crept up her face as she realized that the spell was a complete success.
Gwen: “Oh my god! I can’t believe this! It actually worked! I’m back to my old self!! Can you believe it?”
She turned around in a circle and looked at her family. But by doing that, she noticed them starring at her. Confused, she asked them what they were doing.
Gwen: “Uh, why are you looking at me like that?”
The two remained silent until her grandfather spoke up.
Grandpa Max: “Well Gwen… Maybe you should’ve change your clothes or put on a towel or something.”
Gwen: “And what does that suppose to mean…”
Slowly, she looked down and soon realized what happened. Apparently the clothes she had on when at the mall didn’t mimic her transformation back to her old self. Her white cropped skinny jeans and high cut panties were pooled around her on the floor and her 3-inch heels were too big for her small feet. Her long sleeve, dark blue T-Shirt was too big for her with her sleeves fully covering her hands and her bra was dangling over her non-existing breasts. She also notices that the shirt barely covers her private area, as she turned completely red in the face. She immediately looks up and covered herself, screaming at the top of her lungs. She immediately darted to the small bedroom and had a loss for words.
Gwen: “DON’T LOOK AT ME!!!!!!”
She immediately closed the curtains and tried to dress up in her old clothes. While she was doing that, both Ben and Grandpa Max looked at each other and thought that was unexpected. But Ben, being the annoying and somewhat rude one had a smile on his face and liked the end result.
Ben: “That’s so cool!”
Max looked at his grandson and smacked him in the back of the head. Ben felt the hit and rubbed it feeling a bit of pain.
Ben: “Ow… What was that for?”
End Flashback…
Gwen looked at Ben with her eyes glaring and remembered that moment oh so well. Ben just did a quick stare and twiddles his thumbs slowly.
Ben: “What? I said I was sorry.”
The young girl cocked an eyebrow and didn’t believe him.
Gwen: “Sorry? You thought that was funny with me and my big clothes! Heck, I thought you were going to take a picture of me after the spell and probably send it to your friends or something!”
Ben shrugged his shoulders and didn’t remember that.
Ben: “I don’t recall that.”
There was a bit of silence until Gwen gave that a rest and stretched a little bit.
Gwen: “Oh well… At least this whole nightmare is over. All that new magic really took a toll on me. Speaking of which…”
She turned to her grandfather and asked him about what happened back at the cottage.
Gwen: “Hey Grandpa. What happened to me back there? I could’ve sworn my body felt like it was on auto pilot and there was something else. Some type of magical force that I couldn’t explain. In fact, I don’t think it was anything close to magic. I think it was something different. Something… Alien. Do you know anything about this Grandpa?”
Max’s eyes were wide and soon realized that she was figuring something out. When he heard the word, ‘Alien’ he knew that she was getting closer to the truth. Being that she might be half Anodite, she would ask a few more questions of her existence, where she came from, and preferably her grandmother. He had to think of something and fast before she starts pestering him about it. Finally, he came up with an idea and told her at her face.
Grandpa Max: “Don’t know. Maybe it’s something to do with the overloading of magic. I mean you kept all that power in you the whole it must’ve came out the moment to got knocked unconscious.”
Gwen cocked an eyebrow and somehow believed him.
Gwen: “Oh…”
She lowered her head and felt a little defeated at this point. The former Plumbers member noticed this and decided to reassure her something.
Grandpa Max: “Hey, don’t beat yourself up on this. You’re back to normal and your magical powers are in complete control. Not to mention that you have yourself and new spell book to look into. Who knows, once you get older, you can use that book to help control your powers better.”
Gwen looked at him and thought he was right. She’s back to normal as well as her magic. And with her new book, she might be able to control her powers in the near future.
Gwen: “Guess your right Grandpa.”
Ben decided to intervene and told her something that would be a long living lesson.
Ben: “So Gwen. I hope you learned your lesson from all of this.”
Gwen looked at her cousin and knew what he wanted her to say. At the same time, there was a knock on the door of the RV. Max wondered who was at the door and decided to answer it. As he was doing that, Gwendolyn put her hands behind the back of her head and was relaxed.
Gwen: “You bet I have. Never use your spells without suffering any consequences and never jump to anything dangerous. From now on, I’m going to take things slow with my spells.”
She heard the door opening and her grandfather talking to someone.
Grandpa Max: “Oh, good afternoon. Can I help you?”
Gwen thought that was normal until he heard a very familiar voice.
Jason: “Um, yes hi. I’m looking for Gwen Tennyson. Is she in here?”
Her eyes opened wide and realized who it was. She quickly got off her seat and rushed to the door. Ben just watched on and was a little confused this time.
Ben: “Uh, Gwen? Where are you going?”
She ran close to the entrance and noticed her grandfather talking to the person she met at the mall. He started to talk to the man.
Grandpa max: “Erm… Sure. She’s-“
Gwen can’t let Jason know the truth cause if he finds out, she’ll be in big trouble. Quickly, she pushed Max aside to intervene with the conversation and faced her crush for the first time in her old self.
Gwen: “Hi.”
Jason looked at her and little confused and responded back.
Jason: “Hi. Erm… Who are you?”
Gwendolyn blinked a few times and had to figure out how to approach this. After thinking this through, she came up with an idea.
Gwen: “I’m Gwen’s younger sister. Verdona. Gwen told me a lot about you. So nice to finally meet you.”
Jason rubbed the back of his head and chuckled to himself.
Jason: “Gee, thanks. Never thought Gwen had a little sister. Speaking of which, do you know where your sister is. We were suppose to go on a date today.”
Gwen knew that today was the day of the date, but now that she’s back to her old self she can’t go on a date at all. So trying to get herself out of this, she came up with a really good anecdote.
Gwen: “Ah yeah, well she had to take a plane back home a few hours ago. Apparently she had to go home due to a family matter. Our mother was deeply sick and she had to be there to take care of her. She won’t be able to return for a number of months.”
Jason heard all that and couldn’t believe any of it. She and him were supposed to go on a date today and now it all changed in a day. Now his heart broken and he didn’t know what to do.
Jason: “Oh man… Didn’t know any of this happen. Why didn’t she call me about this soon?”
Gwen shrugged her shoulders and started to ease him.
Gwen: “Well, let’s just say she didn’t want you to worry about it. That you don’t want to get involved in family matters.”
Jason lowered his head and felt completely defeated by all of this. The young girl looked at him and could tell that she broke his heart pretty badly. So she sucked it up and told him to not feel completely depressed about this.
Gwen: “Hey, don’t get too shocked about this. It was something that came up and you can’t change it. The only thing you can do is to move on with your life and not worry about those around you. Who knows, maybe you might meet her again in the near future.”
The young man looked at her and had a confused look on his face. It almost sounds like that he heard that type of tone before with the older Gwen. So he asked the girl, who was the real Gwen, something.
Jason: “You know, the way you talk makes you sound like your older sister.”
Gwen blinked and realized that as well. So she came up with a way to avoid any more questions.
Gwen: “Yes well, my older sister taught me well. All part of growing up right?”
Jason chuckled and could understand that.
Jason: “I guess you’re right. Well, guess I should get going. Tell your older sister I say hi. See ya.”
Gwendolyn smiled and responded back.
Gwen: “Yeah, I’ll see you too.”
And with that, Jason waved goodbye and left the Rustbucket. Gwen slowly closed the door and sighed to herself, knowing that it was going to be a last time she would see him again. She sighed to herself and said something very quietly.
Gwen: “See you in a couple of years I guess.”
She then looked up and noticed her grandfather and cousin looking at them strangely. The two remained quiet until Ben spoke up.
Ben: “Who was that? And why did you lie to him?”
Gwen, looked at both of them and smiled, giving them a bit of an excuse.
Gwen: “It’s nothing. Just someone looking for their true love. Now if you excuse me, I got to study my new spell book.”
She then walked away from the two and headed to the bedroom for some private studying. The two kept starring at their relative and were so confused by all of this. Ben looked at his grandfather and wondered what transpired.
Ben: “Uh, Grandpa? What just happened back there?”
Max looked on and didn’t know what to say.
Grandpa Max: “I have no idea.”

And so, the Tennyson’s adventure was over. But what they didn’t know was that someone managed to escape them and was in hiding. Deep underneath the ruble of Hex’s cottage where the authorities and clean up crews are assessing the damage, the young woman was within the caves with many books around her. That person was none other then Charmcaster. She managed to survive the huge blast caused by Gwen and was hiding within the caves for safety. She also managed to grab some books that survived the blast and started to read them. She had almost every book imaginable from portal creation, to absorption, reanimation to teleportation, all the way down to impersonation. Basically, any book she can use to help defeat her worst enemy. She started to read through one of the books while talking to herself.
Charmcaster: “Curse that girl. How dare she treat me like that? That power of hers is too strong even for me. If I’m ever going to beat her, I have to be just as powerful as her.”
Just then, a golem came out of nowhere and laid down a few more survived books in front of the sorceress. She was able to control the brute and was lucky that it didn’t hurt her on the first go. After reading one of the spells, she lifted her hand up and concentrated hard. After much focus, her hand opened and bursting out of it was a flame of pink light. Looking at the flame, she smiled very wickedly and was enjoying her new ability.
Charmcaster: “Gwen and her family thinks I’m too dangerous? Just wait until they see the new tricks I have in store for them. When I meet up with Gwen again, she would regret the day she tried to defeat me. That’s a promise.”
She then chuckled lowly until she bursts out with evil laughter. She will have her revenge and when that happens, she’s going to make Gwen sorry for what she did to her.
