Oreo’s Spell
By Rayann Shah and Salma Ali
One day, Oreo woke up and said to themself, “Hmmmm, I'm gonna go on a walk. I mean, sure, my owner will think I'm missing but it's just a FEW minutes. Okay, now time to go!”
“Hmm...maybe I should go see that cat in a costume playing basketball. Maybe she wants to be fwends!” thought Oreo!
Oreo spotted the cat, Melody, and said, “Hi!”
Melody hissed and went *scratch* at Oreo.
“Oof!” went Oreo.
Oreo winced and whined, “Owwwwwwww! Why did you do that?"
“Because I don't like NORMAL animals,” Melody growled. Oreo was confused.
“But you are normal, other than the fact you're a cat wearing a costume!!!” they pointed out.
Hearing this, Melody pulled off all of Oreo’s fur. They looked totally different!
Oreo ran back to their house and bumped into their owner. Oreo’s owner turned around and screamed, “AHHHH THIS IS NOT MAH CAT!”
“Dude, it's me. My hair just got pulled off,” said Oreo.
“Oh okay…”, said Oreo’s owner, “I know it’s you ‘cause you’re my cat and I KNOW you can talk.”
“Oh, so you don't recognize my bootiful eyes?” asked Oreo.
“No, your eyes are not bootiful and your fur is gone and you smell like tuna. Go outside until you don't smell like tuna.”
Upset, Oreo ran into the forest and found a spell book. “Hmmm, maybe I can use a spell to get my fur back and be the most bootiful!”
Later…
“OMG, it worked!” said Oreo. “Now Imma go back home.”
Oreo walked into their house. “Oh hi, owner!” they said.
“Oh hi, talking cat-- wait wha--” said Oreo’s owner. “HOW DA HECK DO YOU TALK!?”
“Maybe ‘cause I’m your cat Oreo…?” said Oreo.
“OHHHHHH that makes sense. But why do you look different though?” Oreo’s owner asked.
“It’s ‘cause I used a spell book in the forest that was buried deep in the ground. It said the name Melody Floofy,” said Oreo.
Meanwhile...
WHERE IS MAH SPELL BOOK!?!? thought Melody. MAYBE IT WAS THAT OREO CAT! SHE MUST HAVE STOLEN IT AFTER I PULLED HER FUR OFF!!!
Why is Melody acting weird? wondered Melody’s owner, Jackson. Why is she ruining the house?
Melody did not notice Jackson. She yelled, “WHERE'S MY UNICATDOG SPELL BOOK?!”
Jackson was startled and yelled, “YOU CAN TALK?!”
Uh oh... Melody thought. She said to Jackson, “Yesh, I can. Imma unicatdog remember? And unicorns are magic. What did you expect?”
Jackson said, “Uhhhhhhhhhh I don’t know... one that could play basketball?”
Melody said, “I CAN PLAY BASKETBALL THOUGH! DID YOU NOT SEE ME WITH YOUR BASKETBALL!?”
“No... Anyways, what did you lose?” asked Jackson.
Melody responded, “Every unicatdog gets a spell book to help their owners, but I lost mine, and I think a cat that looks like Oreo took it!”
“You mean my neighbor's cat?”
“Yesh!”
“Let's go find it then!” said Jackson.
Meanwhile, at Oreo’s house, Oreo was trying to figure out who owned the spell book.
“Hmmmm I think the cat in a costume owns this. I should return it to her!” They ran outside and spotted Melody.
"CAT IN COSTUME!” Oreo yelled, “I HAVE YOUR BOOK SO LEMME RETURN IT!”
“MAH SPELL BOOK!!!” Melody said as she ran to get the book.
Melody snatched the book out of Oreo’s paws.
“Hey, what the heck?!” Oreo yowled.
“Wait........ YOU CAN TALK, YET WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING CAT LANGUAGE THIS WHOLE TIME?!” Melody exclaimed.
“Yes!” Oreo replied.
“So if we are both magic….” Melody asked, “wanna be fwends?”
“YESH!!!!”
Suddenly, Oreo’s owner snuck behind them and snatched the spell book from Melody.
“WAIT MR. OWNER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?” Oreo shouted.
“You see, Oreo, I'm evil! So I used your magicness to lead me to a unicatdog because I KNEW they had been real all along!!!”
Melody screeched “Hey, GIMME BACK MY SPELL BOOK!”
“NO, Oreo!” said Oreo’s owner as Oreo bit their leg. “OWWWWWWWW!”
“Serves you right, hehe,” said Oreo.
“QUICK, get the spell book!” said Melody. Jackson picked up the spell book.
“NOOOOO!” said Oreo’s owner. Melody barked.
“HUH?! You’re a normal cat, how did you bark?!” exclaimed Oreo’s owner.
“GRR, how dare you call me NORMAL!” growled Melody.
Oreo turned to their owner. “Welp, this is your problem now bud!”
