Michael's Transformation

 

                  The hardest thing about Michael's life was he was a twelve-year-old, and just beginning

 puberty.  He was given a one-year-old dog for his birthday which he thought was cool.  Due to the 

female dog's white coat he named her Ivory.  As I said Michael was going through puberty and unusual

hard things for him to understand were going on with his body.  Ivory followed Michael everywhere.

                  Michael started school at Trump Junior High School.  It was here he met an attractive girl,

who went to all his classes, named Ivory.  Even though Michael found it strange for Ivory to be in all of

his classes he did not think a lot about it, with other strange things going on in his life.  He just found 

himself lucky to have a friend like Ivory in all his classes.

                Michael's dog, Ivory, met him at the front door wagging her tail.  She gave him a sloppy wet 

lick on the face. He told her all about the attractive girl he had met at school named Ivory.  He told the 

dog. he would just have to see girl in his dreams.  A voice out of the blue said, "Just so they are not any 

wet ones."

             Michael replied, "Huh, who said that?"

             His Mother came into his room and said who are you talking too Mikey?  It is supper time 

anyway.

             Michael objected to being called Mikey and told his mother that he was twelve, and not six,

so please refrain from calling him Mikey.

            His Father just ignored this outburst, and said, "Michael you're getting older, and along with 

bodily changes, you will start receiving powers.  One of these powers are you will start hearing animals 

speak to you."

           "Cool beans" Michael said, " I can talk to Ivory about my day at school, and she can tell me 

what she thinks."

            To which Ivory stood up on her hind legs at the table, and said, "Believe me Michael there are

some things you do not want to know!  But keep talking I'm still listening, and I will always be your 

best friend. 

            

            One day after school Michael was hit by a car and went to the hospital.  In the meantime, Ivory

ran to his house to tell his mother of the event.   So, the two of them went together where they met his

Father.  After much conversation they moved Michael and Ivory to Biden School for Magical Children.

             Michael didn't understand the reason for the transfer.  He just understood the classes were 

different, and a tad harder.  He was trained to work with his magical animal.  He wasn't aware that he 

had a magical animal.  To this Ivory explained that she was his magical animal, and that his magical 

powers had been heightened due to his little accident.  To which Michael just shrugged his shoulders 

and said, "so, I can talk to animals?"

                  Ivory just hung her head and said, "No Michael, your a witch and you're here to learn to 

control your powers."

                 "I'm a wi-wi-wi-witch!" Michael said, "Talking animals I can handle, but being a witch is a

bit too much!"

                Ivory put her paw on Michael's shoulder, and said, "That is what the whole school is here for.

To help you transform into the witch you are meant to be."

                Michael thought Ivory was saying the whole school was for his transformation.  At this point 

one of the other students spoke up and said, "Don't be silly, all of the students here need help 

transforming into witches, isn't most schools there to help you transform into your true personality?"
