•3rd Person POV

Charli slammed her hut's door open and stomped inside. She closed the door behind her, then turned to look at her table. All of the potions viles out of place, pixie and other magical dust are sprinkled in places on the table, and the books are not organized. It was all a mess.

She walked over to her table and dusted the magical substances off. She placed her books back onto the shelves where they belonged and tidied up the empty bottles. After she had put the last book back, it wasn't the cleanest, but it was a lot better than before.

Then, her door suddenly opened. She quickly turned around and saw Alex standing in the doorway.

Charli sighed in relief, "Hi, Princess."

"Hi!" Alex smiled. "And just call me Alex. No princess or anything."

Charli nodded her head. "Do you need anything?"

Alex responded, "Yes, actually. I was wondering if you could make something."

"I can make anything! What do you need me to make?"

"Could you possibly make a cake?" Alex asked, messing with her necklace.

Charli's face slightly dropped but she responded with, "Yes! I could!"

"Thank you so much!" Alex thanked.

Before Alex left, she blew a kiss to Charli. It wasn't in a romantic way, but more of a friend way. After Alex closed the door and a few seconds, Charli's face immediately dropped and she stared at the ground.

"I cannot make a cake..."

Charli shook her head and took a deep breath. She had faith in herself. She'll find out how to do it as she's going along. She went over to her desk and started grabbing potions and dust. She took her mini cauldron and placed it on her table. She moved the other potions and dust to the side. Then she started down at the cauldron, wondering where to start.

After some thinking, Charli thought of some spells she could probably do. She decided to test out one of them. She grabbed her spell book off of the shelf and started turning through the pages. When she found it, her face lit up. she placed the book on its stand making sure the page didn't turn. She cracked her fingers and hovered her hands over the cauldron.

"I haven't done one of these in a while," Charli chuckled.

Charli deeply inhaled and exhaled. She hovered her hands in horizontal circles above the cauldron's opening. Pinkish purple smoke started to slowly erupt from the cauldron. Charli's eyes were shut as she focused on the spell in her head. The more she concentrated, the better the magic.

Then, Charli slowly opened her eyes and looked down at the cauldron. She smiled to herself as she saw the frosting in the cauldron. From there, Charli started adding potions, objects, and dust. Pink liquid, fairy wings, pumpkin seeds, candy, purple and orange dust, and green liquid. Anything you could think of. But, nothing was working. It wasn't turning out how she wanted it to.

Then, Charli grabbed an orange liquid with brown streaks. She tipped it over the substance and poured it inside. But she tipped it over for too long and it ruined everything. The substance began to bubble, squirm, shake, and grow. Charli backed away, not breaking contact with the cauldron. It grew too much. It started to overflow. It was spilling all over the desk and onto the wooden floor.

Charli was backed up to the wall. Suddenly, 'BOOM'! Charli closed her eyes and ducked down. Everything previously in the cauldron splattered onto the walls, the ceiling, her desk, and even on her. When she opened her eyes, you could barely see the wallpaper.

She looked around her room, then back at the cauldron. There was steam from it, the edges covered in the substance. Charli sighed to herself in disappointment. She was regretting accepting the task. She knew that she didn't know how to do it, but she didn't want to disappoint anyone. How was she going to make a cake whenever she couldn't even make the batter?

There was a knock at the door. Charli groaned, preparing to break the news to Alex. She wiped as much access as she could off of her face and turned to face the door.

"Come in..." Charli trailed off.

The door opened, and the substance fell from the top of the doorway. It almost fell on the person who walked in. It wasn't Alex. Charli was silently thankful that it wasn't the princess. But, instead, it was one of her close friends. The Scarecrow.

Jaxx looked around the room, "Woah. What happened in here?"

"Jaxx! Hi!" Charli nervously said. "D-Don't mind any of this!"

Jaxx laughed, "It's kind of hard to miss."

Jaxx looked around at the chaos that had just gone down. He asked Charli what happened and she explained everything. Her failed attempt to make a cake, how she tried to use her abilities, and the result.

Charli walked over to her table and took the cauldron off of the table. Then, she grabbed a small towel nearby and tried to clean up as much as she could. Jaxx looked over to the shelves of books and walked over to them.

"You were trying to make a cake, right?" Jaxx asked, looking at the spines of the books.

Charli nodded, "Yeah, I did. Why?"

Jaxx traced their finger along the books, then pulled one down from the shelf. "Have you tried a cookbook? Like this one?"

Charli looked up from the table and looked at what Jaxx was holding in his hand. They were holding a book that Charli didn't remember getting. She walked over to Jaxx and started looking through the book with him. When she finally found the page about a cake, she was overjoyed!

"I can make a cake now!" Charli smiled brightly. "I hope."

Charli went over and put her cauldron back onto the table on the spot she had just cleaned. Charli asked Jaxx if they wanted to help her. Jaxx accepted and helped Charli. He made sure that Charli had the right things, she put them in the right order, and that she added the right amount to the batter.

After some spells, making messes, and spilling things on themselves, they had finally made the cake! There wasn't an oven in her hut, so she used her magic to actually bake and decorate the cake.

As they looked at their work, they loved it. It looked better than Charli had expected.

[So, you can choose one of these cakes or make one up for yourself :D]

"It's so beautiful!" Charli walked up to the cake and looked at it closely.

Jaxx asked, "Is it for someone? Or did you make it as like, a test?"

Charli stood up straight, "It's for Princess Alex. She came by earlier and asked me to do it."

Then, Charli touched the plate under the cake and a box started to form around the cake. Charli picked it up and started walking over to the door with her head peaking on the side of the boxes. Jaxx opened the door for her and walked out after her. They both began walking to the palace that could be seen across the town.

As they were walking, there were a few obstacles, but they always found a way to manage around them. The walk was long. Charli regretted not bringing her broom along with her. It was a long walk, but short at the same time. They made it to the palace in no time.

Jaxx knocked on the palace doors and they both waited. After a few seconds, the sound of locks being unlocked came from the other side of the door. then, the door opened to reveal Alex. Alex looked at the two of them.

"Hello!" Alex waved. "Do you guys need something?"

Charli turned a bit so she could see Alex, "Hi! We've got your cake!"

Charli lifted the box a bit. Alex's face brightened. Charli handed her the box and Alex took it into her own hands. Relief washed into Charli's body as she took the box from her. It was a bit hefty for her.

Alex placed the box on a table next to the door, then hugged Jaxx and Charli.

"Thank you so much!"

Jaxx hugged her back, "You're welcome!"

Charli smiled, "Yeah! It was a simple task!"

Alex let go of them both of them and went back to the palace. She watched as they both left the front porch, waving to her. Alex waved back. Then, she went into her palace, closing the door behind her.

Jaxx and Charli were walking down the dirt path lined by dead trees.

"I have never heard you lie before," Jaxx commented.

Charli giggled, "I know! But, I had to make it believable so I could do it again!"

Jaxx asked, "Do you remember exactly how to do it?"

"Not at all!" Charli responded cheerfully.

Jaxx laughed at her reaction. As they were walking, they were about to pass the haunted mansion. Jaxx went over to the gate and gazed up at it. He said that they were going to go see the ghost that was in the house.

Charli nodded and said bye to Jaxx as she continued to walk. After some time, Charli finally made it back to the mini witch town and walked into her hut. She went over to the hammock in the corner and got into it. She stared at the roof as it swayed back and forth.

"How am I going to clean all of this up?!" Charli asked, seeing the substance drip onto the floor.
