Sabrina, i must tell you that if you use your magic to get rid of your fear it could cast a shadow on the rest of your life. Have you ever read an essay in front of a High School Assembly .

I gonna kiss you okay, that would be a no. Hey, sabrina. Zelda wants you to try to balance that checkbook. I cant. Im too upset. I tried to overcome my fear by casting a spell, and now theres this weird shadow following people around school. Oh, no. If you use magic to release your fear the fear gets loose and preys on mortals. Didnt Millard Fillmore warn you . Actually, it was f. D. R. , but i blew him off. F. D. R. . Oh, theyve upgraded the magic book. Right. Youve got to go back and get everyone whos been affected by your fear shadow to come home with you. Oh, no problem. Right after i end hunger.

Its the biggest night of zeldas scientific career and she has the verbal skills of a potato. Its pronounced potahto. Okay. I managed to get everyone from school to come home with me. Great. Now get the shadow through the linen closet and into the other realm. How do i get it into the house and keep everyone else out . You know how dogs can smell fear . Well, fear can smell dogs. Mr. Kraft let me in the bomb shelter let me. A pack of wild dogs screams groans i thought theyd never leave. Whew well, im glad we took care of that. They can handle my fear in the other realm. You have to go there and confront your fear or it will always haunt you. Isnt there a Group Package available . Can you come . Oh, yeah, like i dont have enough to do. blubbering stop that. Take the quizmaster. Hes knowledgeable, resourceful and hes strong. I need someone strong . If you want to live. Now, go. I have a paper to give. Oh, i hate being the responsible one. And once again, no one remembers to feed the cat. Whys it so dark in here . Your fear shadow has engulfed this whole area. Everything you encounter here it is the forest of your fears.

Whats going on . Oh, dear. . Eency, weency spider . . Went up the water spout. . Now, you see that door . You have to make it through that door without turning back. F day. screams mrs. Quick. Shes not really mrs. Quick. Shes a symbolic manifestation of your fears. But mrs. Quick doesnt scare me. Oh, im so glad to hear that because ive talked to several universities and no one will accept you. I dont like this game anymore. Im going home. Oh, sabrina, you have to move forward. You dont know this but youre not going to do very well on your s. A. T. S. No college, no future, sabrina. I have your fast food uniform right here. No no. No, ill be okay. Theres always trade school. Wow. I guess i am afraid of not getting into college. Maybe thats my biggest fear. yells screams no, its people jumping out from behind trees. Sabrina, youre a good friend with a soft heart. Ooh, im shaking. You should be because a soft heart will only hold you back in. The real world. You cant just be nice . Nice guys finish last, sabrina. What about Mister Rogers . Have you seen his ratings . And jimmy carter and Audrey Hepburn . I mean, occasionally, nice people do succeed. You know what . Ive had enough. Im going to go back to my room and cower. Sabrina, come on, youre doing okay. You have to be brave. That way. Hilda, why dont you sit here and occupy yourself while i talk to the nice nobel laureates. chuckling well, um, you came here to hear me read my paper so lets get right to it. gasps hilda, no yells ititsits a clown. Ive always been aafraid of clowns. Oh, so the way you dress is how you confront your fears . Are you afraid of being snatched baldheaded . Because thats whats going to happen. Im not afraid of clowns. Why are you scaring the quizmaster my scariness on you, freak. Although as long as im here, i may as well remind you that everybody has commented on how youre. Different. Hey, i dont care if sabrinas. Different. mr. Kraft chuckling but shes not just different. I happen to know that shes a witch all youre a witch youre a witch no screaming youre a witch youre a witch wait a minute youre right i am a witch and im proud of being a witch because it means i can do this. Ah, way to go, sabrina. Now, all you have to do is walk through that door and face your ultimate and final fear. Great. And if you find my nervous system anywhere around, id like it back. And now, to read from her essay, how math applies to real life clears throat in the beginning, there was the word. But in order to mark when the beginning was we needed numbers making math as big a part of life as language although not quite as big as tv. laughter at first, math seemed so complicated i was afraid of it but once i took the time to study, it wasnt scary to me anymore, which proves that knowledge and experience are the best weapons against fear. Thank you. Whoo whoo quizmaster great speech, sabrina. Now you can finally face. Your fear. Wow, my fear looks just like steve allen. chuckling i know what fear is, believe me. I did live tv. Its a pleasure to meet you. Wait a minute meet. That rhymes with sweet. You gave me an idea for a song. . When you beat your feet . . Down the street . . All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet. . Hes gone all right that fear will always be a part of you. Just be willing to deal with it. Will steve allen be on all my clothes now . No, come on, sabrina. Dont take everything so seriously. Lighten up. All right, whatever you say. Oh. Clowns. Yeah, well, you know i can handle that. Mr. Kraft said it was up there with something steve allen would do. Elda, you seem down in the dumps. Oh, its nothing. Just my scientific career is now in shambles. Hey, theres a message from the other realm in the toaster. Get it out so i can make an english muffin. I dont believe it. Because of the symposium fiasco ive been given a grant to study abnormal phenomena in already abnormal witches. Tanka you, boys. The songs of bavaria wella never forget them. Wonderful shes in the Lawrence Welk snap stage. And now, a little polka. And a onea and a twoa and a threea. playing polka i didnt know it until now but aunt hilda playing the accordion is my biggest fear. You think maybe shes dead . This is totally impossible. Youve got to be patient. Turning yourself into fire water and wind is one of the hardest things to learn. Salem for me it was learning when to say no to pie. Stop thinking about how bad it feels to get it wrong and think about how good its going to feel when you get it right. Okay, ill try again but this time if my legs go numb nt help getting off the bed not just pointing and jeering. Concentrate. You are no longer a physical being. You are a fluid entity. You are water. Hey, i did it yes, you did and it only took you four weeks. Am i the only one thinking
