Int. Spellman Kitchen, Hilda, Zelda and Salem are all wearing pink pointy party hats as they gather round the counter. For some reason a cat in a pink pointy party hat doesn't look out of place here. Sabrina walks in from the stairs.

All to Sabrina - (Singing) Happy Birthday,

Hilda sprinkles confetti on Sabrina's head before Zelda places a matching pink point party hat on it. Both kiss her cheek.

Sabrina - Thank you, thank you. I'll never get this confetti out of my hair but thank you.

Salem - The hats were my idea.

Sabrina - Seventeen has got to be better than sixteen, I mean I've got a great boyfriend, I'm not new at school and I've finally got used to being a witch.

To prove her point she points at the kitchen table and breakfast appears

Salem- and I'll have the liver and brie omelette.

Sabrina sits at the table

Zelda- Here's your present.

She hands Sabrina a brightly colours paper bag with string handles.

Sabrina- I love presents.

She reaches in and pulls out a book. The book is shaped like a hand with sparks coming off the index finger, the letters D.M.V. are printed boldly across it. She looks at it and the smile fades.

Hilda- It's a hand book.

Sabrina- One of these days we're going to have to talk about cool presents.

Zelda- This is a study guide. You see when a witch turns seventeen she has to take a test to get her witches licence.

Sabrina- Will I have to parallel park my vacuum cleaner?

Hilda- No it doesn't work like that, but for some reason you do have to take an eye exam.

Zelda- A quizmaster will come in the next few days and test you. Now you only have two chances...

Sabrina- (interrupting) don't worry I can handle it.

Two beeps sound from outside, a horn. Sabrina looks at her watch

Sabrina- (Cont.) I've got to run or I'm going to miss my bus.

She grabs her bag and heads for the door ignoring her present which Zelda hands to Hilda. Sabrina stops at the door and turns.

Sabrina-(Cont.) Unless my other present is a car?

Hilda- Don't forget this (hands Sabrina the book)

Sabrina- Next year clothes, right?

She removes the pink pointy party hat, hands it to Hilda and leaves in a rush. Hilda turns to Zelda, the smile fading.

Hilda- She's never going to study. We have got to tell her about the consequences.

Zelda- You know the rules. We've given her the book, now it's up to Sabrina.

Salem- I'm sorry, I thought I asked for an omelette. Hello!

Run opening credits

Int. Westbridge High School hallway, the bell rings, boys and girls hurry to class, one dark haired girl carrying books looks lost and forlorn. Sabrina enters rushing like the rest round the corner and collides with the dark haired girl. both jump back in surprise.

Sabrina- Ow! Can I help you.

Valerie- He! I can't find my locker. I'm Valerie, this is my first day.

Sabrina- I'm Sabrina, I was new last year. Don't worry it's a pretty friendly school.

Libby walks past.

Libby- Freak.

Sabrina- So, what's your locker number?

Valerie- Erm twenty-seven.

Sabrina- That's right near mine. Come on.

They head towards the lockers.

Sabrina-(Cont.) So where did you move from?

Valerie- Minnesota, we move a lot. Why'd that girl call you a freak?

Sabrina- Libby? Because she's a cheerleader and she's a limited vocabulary

Valerie- So you're not really odd?

Sabrina- No. Well not in a way that anyone knows about.

Valerie- Good, 'cause just once I'd like to be in a cool crowd. Oh, I know that makes me sound really shallow. I hate that about myself. Oh well, just go on without me I'm dragging you down.

Sabrina- Here's your locker.

Valerie- You're still talking to me?

Mrs. Quick comes out of the classroom

Mrs. Quick- Oh Sabrina, just who I'm looking for. I think you should take AP algebra after school. It's a lot of work but you can get college credit for it.

Sabrina- Hmm, I think I can handle that

she turns to put her books in her locker, including the odd handbook

Mrs. Quick- Great.

She spots Sabrina's book

Mrs. Quick- (Cont.) That's an interesting book, can I see that?

Sabrina- Oh, It's kind of a family heirloom... And that's why... I keep it in... my locker.

Mrs. Quick- Hmm

She wanders off as Harvey enters unseen carrying a package.

Harvey- Hey birthday girl.

Valerie- It's your birthday!... Or is that a nickname?

Sabrina- Harvey, this is Valarie. Valarie, Harvey

Valerie and Harvey shake hands. There's an awkward silence until Valerie realises there's one to many people around and slips back to her locker,

Sabrina- (Cont.) I love my earrings. Thanks

Harvey- My mom said you'd like them more than a knife. Oh, here taste these.

He opens the box he's carrying and Sabrina takes a cookie and bites into it.

Harvey- (Cont.) I baked them for the football bake sale tomorrow.

Sabrina- It tastes like... I tell you what, I'll bake you cookies for the sale.

she takes the box from Harvey

Harvey- Thanks, I was hoping you'd say that. Well better get to chemistry, see you later.

Harvey leaves.

Valerie- Wow! Teachers like you, you've got a cute boyfriend. Can I be your friend.

Sabrina- We'll see. I'm having interviews all week.

Valerie- You're kidding aren't you? Because that's happened to me before.

Libby comes round the corner accompanied by Cee Cee and Jill

Cee Cee - He said you are going to be the editor this year?

Libby- Well not in so many words. Well actually it was just that many words. He said 'You'll be the editor this year'

Jill- Cool

Libby- And when I am editor, the school papers going to be different.

They pass Sabrina and Valerie by the lockers

Libby- (Cont.) No freakazoid news.

Libby and her friends walk on laughing.

Sabrina- I can't believe Libby's taking over the paper too.

Valerie- You should take over the paper.

Sabrina- Me?

Valerie- Yeah! You'd be great, and fair, and I'm not just saying that because I want you to like me.

Sabrina- Thanks

Valerie- Do you like me?

Int, Spellman upstairs landing, Salem is sitting on the laundry basket by the closet door. There's a thunderous crash and flickering light shows round the doors edge accompanied by a ringing door-bell.

Salem- Hello?

The door opens and money blows through it. Lots of money, swirling about. The cat's eyes light up

Salem- (Cont.) OH YES! Oh yes! Oh yes! My prayers are answered.

The money flutters down the stairs,

Salem- (Cont.) Fifties, twenties,

Int. Spellman Kitchen. Hilda and Zelda are at the counter making a birthday cake and see the money neatly stack itself on the kitchen table with an envelope landing on top.

Hilda- Oh my!

Zelda- Oh good, looks like our bond matured.

She takes the envelope

Hilda- The one we got in sixteen sixty?

Zelda- I knew people would say yes to sanitation.

Int. Westbridge High School hallway, Sabrina and Harvey are walking between lessons

Harvey- Wanna go to The Slicery?

Sabrina- I can't, I'm going to join the newspaper staff.

Harvey- I thought you were swamped with work?

Sabrina- I am, but I can handle it, and this has the added bonus of driving Libby insane. I'll call you later.

Harvey- Okay but you haven't forgotten about the dance on Friday have you?

Sabrina- The big event honouring all the football players that everyone's been talking about for weeks? I remember it... but... I've forgot your name.

Harvey shakes his head and leaves.

Int. Westbridge Lantern classroom. Libby, Jill and Cee Cee are there. Sabrina enters

Libby-(to Sabrina) Looking for the loser convention?

Sabrina- I am... and look... I've found it.

Sabrina sits on the opposite side of the bench as Valerie enters

Valerie- (to Sabrina) Hi. (to Libby and friends) Hi, I'm Valarie.

she extends the hand of friendship, which is rebuffed.

Cee Cee- Oow, they're multiplying.

Valerie goes to join Sabrina on her side of the bench

Valerie- (Muttering) I feel good about myself. I feel good about myself. I feel good about myself.

Libby- (to Jill and Cee Cee) Don't panic. When Mr. Kraft gets here we'll clean house.

Enter Mrs. Quick

Mrs. Quick- Greetings news hounds. Welcome to the Westbridge Lantern.

Libby- I think there's been a mistake. Mr. Kraft is the faculty advisor of this club

Mrs. Quick- Not anymore. After seventeen years, he's grown to loath and detest the paper. Hi Sabrina. Now this year the editorial position is not going to be a popularity contest.

Libby- WHAT?!

Mrs. Quick- Everyone who is interested can submit an editorial by tomorrow.

Mrs. Quick Leaves

Sabrina- This is amazing, I didn't even use magic.

Valerie- Magic?

Sabrina- Yeah. Th-That's Westbridge slang for... curse words.

Valerie- I hate being new.

Int. Spellman Kitchen. The birthday dinner is all but finished. Salem has his face buried in a slice of cake. Sabrina sits back looking stuffed after finishing hers.

Sabrina- Great cake. Piece number five might have been a mistake

Salem- Do I have any frosting on my face?

Hilda- Well a birthday is always a time for fun. Did you get a chance to study the handbook?

Sabrina- Not really. Oh man, study! I've got a history test tomorrow

Sabrina leaps up and dashes from the room.

Zelda- (calling after) Sabrina!

Hilda- Remember, the handbook is also important. (to Zelda) Did our parents go through this torture?

Zelda- Not with me. I memorised the whole book

Hilda pulls a face and mimics Zelda's words silently and flicks a finger.

Zelda- (Cont.) Get rid of them.

Hilda- What?

Zelda swinging her foot up onto the table to show a red sequinned Wizard of Oz type shoe.

Zelda- The goodie two shoes.

Hilda- Oops

Int. Sabrina's bedroom. Sabrina's slumped over the desk head resting on arms, Salem's sat on the desk by her head.

Salem- Sabrina? YO!

She jerks awake and sits up.

Sabrina- I'm just resting my eyes

Salem- Don't you think you're over extending yourself?

Sabrina- No. Okay, my editorials done. Time for history. I'm still handling things. (reading) 'Patrick Henry gave an impassioned speech at Williamsburg, where he proclaimed 'give me liberty, or give me death''

Salem- Actually he was going to say 'give me liberty, or give me some other option'. I told him I thought it needed more punch.

The phone by the bed rings, Sabrina gets up to answer.

Sabrina- Hello? Hi Harvey. Oh hi Harvey, I'm sorry I know I was supposed to call you.

Harvey- Now tell me if you don't think this is deep. When you assume something you make a... Shoot! I knew I should have written it down.

Sabrina slumps down on the bed, phone to her ear.

Harvey- (Cont.) If you... shoot! Maybe it wasn't assume. Sabrina? Sabrina! SABRINA!

Sabrina's fast asleep on the bed with the phone still to her ear.

Int. Sabrina's bedroom. Morning, Sabrina's still sprawled across the bed fully dressed. A clap of thunder and flickering light resolves itself into a young black man brightly dressed in clashing colours squatting beside her bed.

Quizmaster- (in radio DJ voice) The breeze here in downtown Westbridge, let us greet the day with the Brothers Junk.

Sabrina reaches for the radio alarm to switch it off without looking and at the third attempt raps the Quizmaster on the head.

Quizmaster-(Cont.) Aooww!

Sabrina's suddenly wide awake and sat up as would be expected if you found a strange man in your bedroom.

Sabrina- Who are you?

Quizmaster- I'm your quizmaster. Please don't hit.

Sabrina- It's time for the test?

Quizmaster- Are you kidding? You are not ready. This is a warning.

He snaps of his fingers and the handbook appears in his hand as if by magic.

Quizmaster- You haven't cracked this hand, I mean not even the knuckles... Hey I like that one.

Sabrina- Okay, you've made your point. I'll study.

Quizmaster- And stop hitting.

Sabrina- When will I have the actual test.

Quizmaster- When_you_least_expect_it.

and with a flashy spin he turns into a negative and disappears.

Sabrina- Aaww, I hope I can handle this

Int. Westbridge High School hallway, Sabrina and Valarie walk together.

Sabrina- Man I did lousy on that history test.

Valerie- I know. I got so frustrated in there that I almost used magic

Sabrina- What!

Valerie- Curse words, right?

Sabrina- Oh right. Look Val I've gotta run. I've gotta meet Harvey for lunch.

Valerie- Okay

Sabrina- See ya.

Sabrina hurries off to the cafeteria but almost instantly the Quizmaster appears in front of her. No fancy effects this time but with some cool shades.

Sabrina- Oh no, what are you doing here Quizmaster?

Quizmaster- Well have you been studying Sabrina. The test is coming you know.

Sabrina- I know. Look I'm kind of in a hurry.

Quizmaster- Oh I can fix that.

With a snap of his fingers everything stops except them.

Quizmaster- (Cont.) Can you stop time Sabrina? Page 201.

Sabrina- Okay, I'll look it up.

Quizmaster- Oh, well how about speeding time up,

Another snap of the fingers and everyone zooming around except them.

Quizmaster- Page 949.

Sabrina- Okay, I've been warned.

Quizmaster- Phew.

and another snap puts everything back to the correct speed. Sabrina checks her watch.

Sabrina- Great. Now you've sped up time and now I'm late

She rushes off.

Int. School cafeteria. Harvey's seated at a table alone. Libby approaches with a tray.

Libby- Hi Harvey. Eating alone.

Sabrina enters, still hurrying

Sabrina- (To Libby) No he's not.

Libby leaves and Sabrina sits across from Harvey.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Sorry. Time... kind of... got away from me.

Harvey- I wanted to talk to you about tux colours

Sabrina- Can I finish your sandwich?

He hands her the sandwich and as she takes a bite

Harvey- I can't decide between powder blue and maroon.

Before she can answer Mr. Kraft enters and raises his hands.

Mr. Kraft- Let me have everyone attention please.

Sabrina- (to Harvey) Great. Mr. School Spirit.

Mr. Kraft- Some of you freshmen have not met me yet. I am Vice-Principle Kraft. Just like the cheese.

A voice from the back of the cafeteria hidden within a cough - Loser

Mr. Kraft- (Cont.) and I heard that.

he writes on his ever present note pad

Mr. Kraft- (Cont.) Now I am happy to announce that the PEP-club has decided to decorate the dance this Friday with posters honouring each football player.

Sabrina- (to Harvey) Wow! Harvey. Your own poster.

Mr. Kraft- And that's not all. These poster will be made by each players girlfriend. So Gals, get busy.

Sabrina- That's ridiculous.

Mr. Kraft- Oh let's just hope you have tourettes little missy

Sabrina- Just because a girls dating a football player doesn't mean she has time to do artwork for him on demand

Mr. Kraft- Ya. well you see we're just talking about sprucing up the dance. Not taking back the vote.

Libby- I think posters are a brilliant idea.

Mr. Kraft- Well thank you Libby... and thank your father for that box of steaks

Mr. Kraft leaves.

Sabrina-(to Harvey) You understand what I mean don't you? I'd sort of feel like your slave.

Harvey- Oh I understand. It's a stupid idea. Who needs a poster.

Sabrina- Right. So now what were you saying about tuxedos?

Harvey- I need help deciding...

The school bell rings and Sabrina grabs her bag.

Sabrina- Sorry we'll talk later

She dashes off.

Libby- (To Harvey) Ah well. Maybe one day you'll have a girlfriend who cares about you.

Int. Spellman Kitchen, Zelda sat at the table counting money, Hilda comes down the stairs with Sabrina's handbook in hand and walks up to the table.

Hilda- Oh no, Sabrina forgot this again. I know we're not allowed to tell her what'll happen if she fails but... How about I just zap it to her.

Hilda raises her finger to do just that but Zelda's quicker on the draw and nothing happens. After two attempts she turns to see Zelda's finger locked and cocked.

Hilda- Hey!

Zelda- It's Sabrina's responsibility. We're not allowed to meddle.

Hilda- All right.

Zelda- You know it's weird. I keep counting this and I keep coming up short.

Hilda- Really?

Int. Japanese sushi bar. One black cat sat at the counter wearing a shirt, tie and jacket with money hanging out everywhere and shoving fanned out notes across the counter. Two Japanese sushi chefs with kamikaze head bands talk in Japanese. The subtitles read.

Sushi Chef #1- But we can't serve him. He's a cat, right?

Sushi Chef #2- But he's got a pocketful of cash.

Sushi Chef #1- But it's a cat.

Salem- (Thinking) Oh please, please, oh ple-e-e-ese

Int. Westbridge High School hallway, Sabrina's still in a rush, checking her watch, Harvey joins her.

Harvey- Hey!

Sabrina- Hi, Idonthavetimetotalk. IhavetogettomyAPalgebraafterschoolextracreditcollegeworkthing.

Harvey- Okay, but can I have the cookies?

Sabrina- What cookies?

Harvey- The cookies you said you'd bake for the sale today. It's starting in five minutes.

Sabrina- Right. Wait here.

She dashes out of the classroom and round the corner running right into Mr. Kraft.

Mr. Kraft-Whoa! If you wish to run Miss Spellman the girls track and field team meet after school. In the hallway we walk

Sabrina- Yes sir.

Mr. Kraft leaves round the corner, Sabrina looks around, no-one is about. She holds out her palm and points. With a tring, a tray of freshly baked cookies appear on her palm. She smells them, they smell good and she turns to take them back to Harvey just as Mr. Kraft returns round the corner.

Mr. Kraft- And Miss Spellman I wa-wha-wha-where did those come from?

Sabrina- A bakery?

Mr. Kraft- I just bumped into you five seconds ago and you did not have any cookies.

Sabrina- Yes I did.

Mr. Kraft- You...

He takes off his glasses and checks them

Mr. Kraft- (Cont.) If I weren't on anti-histamines I'd look into this.

He turns and walks off. Sabrina watches him go then heads back to Harvey only to find the Quizmaster leaning against the classroom door.

Sabrina- Oh no. Now?

Quizmaster- Are you ready?

With a snap of his fingers the carefully conjured cookies disappear.

Sabrina- Hey, put those back. I conjured those.

Quizmaster- Oh, just reverse my spell.

Sabrina- I don't know how.

Quizmaster- It's on page 77. You know, you really should try studying. Toodles.

And with the old spinning trick he disappears just as Harvey arrives.

Harvey- I have to go. Where are the cookies?

Sabrina- Robbery? Look I'm sorry I forgot, I was really busy.

Harvey- You know Sabrina, you're always busy these days. It's like you don't have time to be my girlfriend

Sabrina- That's not true. I've just had a lot of other really important stuff to do.

Harvey- So I'm not important.

Sabrina- I didn't say that.

Harvey- Let's just forget about the dance. I'm sure you're to busy anyway.

A very upset Sabrina watches him walk away.

Int. Spellman living room, Hilda's sat reading as Zelda enters.

Zelda- I've been thinking about what we should do with the bond money. I think we should invest it.

Hilda- Oh no, you promised this would be fun money.

Zelda- Really? It doesn't sound like me.

Hilda- I don't want to be practical. Come on Zeldy, imagine your wildest dream

Zelda- Okay.

Zelda stares off in to space, two small thought bubbles appear followed by a third larger one showing Zelda sitting with a handsome man in a business suit. She hands over a large sack with a big $ sign on it while staring adoringly into his eyes

Day dream Zelda- Another T bill please.

Hilda- No! No! No! Here, I'll show you how to day dream.

She stares off into space herself. The thought bubbles blip from her head showing her sat with a handsome bloke whose tickling the back of her neck.

Zelda- Is that Erik Estrada?

Hilda- Ya. I loved him in CHiPs. Oh but you have to see him in 'Dos mujeres, un camino'

Zelda- But you can't buy Erik Estrada.

Hilda- No. but maybe you could lure him with this.

she makes a downward motion with her finger and the image in the thought bubble backs off to show that the dream Hilda and Erik Estrada are sat in a convertible red sports car.

Hilda- (Cont.) Sixty-two Thunderbird convertible. Now try again.

Zelda- Alright.

Zelda again stares into space creating her own thought bubbles This time it shows her at the wheel of the same Thunderbird

Hilda- Much better.

The dream car pulls up at a drive through teller window with Zelda's original handsome business man behind it. She takes the large sack of money from the passenger seat and hands it over.

Hilda- U'ph!

Zelda- Sorry, I really like investing.

Hilda reaches across and bursts Zelda's bubble with her finger. It pops loudly

Hilda- We are not blowing centuries of interest on more interest

Int. Japanese sushi bar. Sushi Chef #1 lifts the protesting Salem and carries him to the door having decided not to serve the well off pussy.

Salem- At least let me lick your hands.

Int. Westbridge High School hallway, Sabrina has passed through the double fire doors and is clearly still upset over her bust up with Harvey. Mrs. Quick enters behind her.

Mrs. Quick- Sabrina?

Sabrina turns and stops to let Mrs. Quick catch up.

Mrs. Quick- You were a little unfocused today.

Sabrina- Was I?

Mrs. Quick- Yes, you see six times seven is forty-two, not twelve.

Sabrina- Sorry. Man do I need a cupcake.

Mrs. Quick watches Sabrina dash off towards the cafeteria as Mr. Kraft come round the corner behind her. A bottle of pills in his hand and he mutters to himself as he reads the label not seeing Mrs. Quick at all. he walks on muttering.

Int. School cafeteria, Harvey is stood serving at a table full of cakes and cookies, a dark haired girl is making her selection, Sabrina enters still upset and wanting to talk.

Sabrina- Hi. Got a minute?

Harvey- Actually I'm in the middle of something important.

He hands the brunet a plate of confectionery

Harvey- (Cont.) Here, here's your yummy-doodles.

Sabrina- Well, whenever you wanna talk, I'm ready.

Harvey nods and Sabrina leaves him to his bake sale. Libby who had witnessed the exchange couldn't resist a dig. she walk past Harvey

Libby- Trouble with the little lady?

Harvey gives her a stare.

Int. Spellman living room, Hilda's seated and Zelda's pacing. They are still arguing about the money.

Zelda- how about we buy stocks. That's exciting, it's just like gambling.

Hilda just shakes her head as the front door opens and Sabrina blows in and heads straight for the kitchen.

Sabrina- Noonetalktome, IhavetocallHarvey.

Hilda-(To Zelda) We're obviously never going to agree so... how about we flip for it, winner takes all

Zelda- Deal

Hilda does the pointing thing and in a huge puff of smoke a large coin appears, about a foot in diameter on the coffee table. She picks it up and it shows that on one side is a picture of Hilda.

Hilda- My head I win...

She turns the coin to reveal a picture of Zelda.

Hilda-(Cont.) Your head you lose

Zelda- Yeah, like I'm going to fall for that old trick... again.

Zelda uses two hand to flip the coin in the air where it stops falling at head height but continues to spin magically.

Int. Spellman kitchen. Sabrina slams the receiver back onto the phone cradle.

Sabrina- AAAAAARRRRRRR!

Int. Spellman living room. The coin is still spinning as Hilda and Zelda rush towards the kitchen thinking something awful has happened to their niece.

Int. Spellman kitchen, Hilda arrives first.

Hilda- What's going on?

Sabrina- His father said Harvey's still not home. Why wont he talk to me?

Hilda- Maybe because he's still not home.

Zelda picks up the handbook and hands it to Sabrina.

Zelda- Besides don't you have more important things to worry about?

The sudden appearance of the hand book inevitably heralds the sudden appearance of the Quizmaster. His appearance is accompanied by bright lights and weird sounds and he appears stretched out along the kitchen counter complete with shades.

Quizmaster- You rang?

Sabrina- Great! The Stressmaster.

Quizmaster- You know, the other kids I quiz give me stuff

Sabrina glares at him.

Quizmaster- (Cont.) How about molecular transference Sabrina?

He snaps his fingers and vanishes with a ping only to reappear standing beside her on the opposite side of the table.

Quizmaster- (Cont.) Can you do that?

He snaps his fingers again and disappears to reappear sat in a vacant chair on the other side of the table, ankle resting on his other knee.

Quizmaster-(Cont.) I'd bone up if I were you. Oh and remember. Fudge... is a nice way to say I care

And with a final snap of his fingers he vanishes.

Hilda- You got a cute one.

Sabrina- He right, I'm not ready. I don't know molecular transference.

Zelda- Sure you do. You know how to zap yourself from one place to another.

Hilda- Yeah. Go ahead, put yourself behind the counter.

Sabrina lifts her hand and points at herself, there's the sound of a dodgy engine turning over on a cold morning, nothing happens. She stares at her finger in surprise.

Zelda- You're thinking about it too much. Clear your mind.

Zelda waves her hands about Sabrina's head

Zelda- (Cont.) Try again.

Sabrina does, twice with obvious effort. The engine sounds pretty terminal.

Hilda- Oh dear, you've shorted your finger

Zelda- Too much stress.

Sabrina looks at her poor finger.

Sabrina- Rats!

There's a clang from the living room and both Zelda and Hilda run for the door. Sabrina just sits looking at her finger and blowing on it as though it's hot.

Int. Spellman Living room. Hilda and Zelda run in to find the coin that has been spinning all this time has fallen to the floor.

Hilda- Huh!

Zelda- Well look at that, I won.

Hilda- Rats!

Int. Westbridge High School, Westbridge Lantern class room, Mrs. Quick walks to the front of the class to reveal the usual suspects. Sabrina, Valarie, Libby, Cee Cee and Jill.

Mrs. Quick- Okay, a panel of teachers read everyone's editorials and...

Cee Cee - (interrupting) We all liked Libby's

Mrs. Quick- Well all the teachers thought Libby's was really good.

Jill- Alright!

Mrs. Quick- But not quite as interesting as Sabrina's

A look of horror passes over Libby and Jill's faces.

Mrs. Quick- (Cont.) Sabrina, you are the new editor of the Westbridge Lantern.

She picks up a large pile of folders and approaches Sabrina.

Sabrina- Thanks. I can handle this

Mrs. Quick gives the files to Sabrina who's surprised by the weight of them. Her happy smile dies somewhat.

Sabrina- (Cont.) I think.

Libby- (To Cee Cee and Jill) That's just wrong!

Int. School hallway, Sabrina comes out of the classroom laden down with files followed by Valarie.

Valerie- You're the editor, I'm the editors friend. There's no way this can't be cool.

As they reach the lockers Harvey arrives and see Sabrina and the files. Sabrina looks at Valerie hoping she'll get the message, Valerie's not as slow as she might appear.

Valerie- Talk to you later.

Valarie leaves.

Harvey- What's all that?

Sabrina- News paper stuff, I'm editor. I know it's more work but I...

Harvey- (Interrupting) No, It's great. I mean lots of famous people were editors of their school news paper

Sabrina- Really? like who?

Harvey mumbles something unintelligible as he can't think of anybody famous who was ever the editor of their school news paper

Harvey- Sabrina.

Sabrina- (Interrupting) I know.

Harvey- Let's never fight again.

Sabrina- Okay, and I've been thinking I'd like to make you a poster for the dance

Harvey- Doesn't that sorta go against everything you believe in?

Sabrina- Yeah, but big deal

Harvey- Do you have the time?

Sabrina- Sure.

Harvey- Thanks.

Sabrina- And I'll bet if the girls in the Science Club were getting their boyfriends to make them posters, you'd make one for me right?

Harvey- You Bet. They're not are they?

Sabrina shakes her head no.

Harvey- (Cont.) and I didn't mean that about the dance, I really want you to come.

Sabrina- I'd love to.

Harvey- Great.

They turn and walk together down the hall

Sabrina- You haven't ordered that powder blue tux yet have you?

Int. Sabrina's bedroom, Sabrina is lay on the bed putting the finishing touches to an elaborately clued and pined together poster watched by Salem

Sabrina- There! Posters done. What do you think?

Salem- It's gorgeous... if you're into gushy

Sabrina- Okay. Now it's time to study the hand book.

She sits down at the desk and picking up the book

Sabrina- (Cont.) I think I'll start with... molecular transference.

No sooner has she opened the book than the Quizmaster flashes into existence sat in her armchair. The lime green outfit he's wearing doesn't suit the decor.

Quizmaster- Howdy

Sabrina shows him the book.

Sabrina- Look, I'm Studying.

Quizmaster- Oh Great. It's time.

Sabrina- But I'm not ready

Quizmaster- Hmm! Nope, I don't care.

He takes hold of Sabrina's wrist and pulls her to her feet then snaps his fingers. They both disappear.

Int. Spellman living room, empty, but not for long. The Quizmaster and Sabrina appear in front of the settee.

Quizmaster- Okay, Sabrina Spellman. Are you ready to be tested?

Sabrina- I told you, Nooo.

Quizmaster- Too bad. Sabrina Spellman Here is your quiz. Train 'A' left Sturbridge at 8 o'clock, train 'B' left Boston at 6-30. What time will they meet in Westbridge?

Sabrina- I can do this. Okay, what speed are they going?

Quizmaster- I believe this is your test.

Sabrina- I know how to find the speed. Molecular transference.

She lifts her finger

Sabrina- (Cont.)(to her finger) Come through and there's a new ring in your future.

Sabrina points at herself, a swirl of sparkling light envelopes her as she vanishes.

Ext. rail tracks. a night train thunders along the track. The engineers looking out of the side window with the remains of a sandwich in his hand. a shimmer of sparkling light appears beside him followed by a cute, short, blonde girl in a white sweater and shorts. The girl takes a glance around, grasps with both hands and pulls her arms in to her body in a gesture of triumph

Sabrina- Yes!

The Engineer turns at the sound and is mildly surprised to see a girl in his cab. After years of working in people transportation he's seen a few things.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Excuse me.

She walks up to the control panel and glances at the speedo

Sabrina- (Cont.) Thirty-five miles per hour.

She notes it in her note pad

Sabrina- (Cont.) Thank You.

And points at herself and vanishes once more in a swirl of sparkles. The engineer stares at the empty space for a moment and smells at his sandwich. It smells good.

Ext. a different Engine thunders through the night, Another Engineer gazes out into the darkness, This one in a Casey Jones outfit. A swirling shimmer of light resolves itself into a petite, blonde apparition

Engineer- Ahh! Who are you?

Sabrina- I'm... a dream. You're dreaming that someone came for the speed. Sixty-two miles per hour. Got the speed, and left.

The apparition pointed at herself and vanished in a twinkle.

Engineer- Huh! I hate these night runs.

Int. Spellman Living room. The Quizmaster is sat alone on the couch. A swirl of sparkling light heralds the return of Sabrina

Sabrina- Got it. The trains should meet in Westbridge at 1-03am.

Quizmaster- Right. Er, unfortunately there's only one track in Westbridge.

He lifts his arm and a large watch appears on his wrist.

Quizmaster- (Cont.) And it's already 1-02.

The watch disappears again.

Sabrina- O-oh! I know I-I'll just divert them. Erm, Trains are big and they are... leaded. Move them away... from... where they're headed.

She crosses her arms pointing in opposite directions and winces waiting for the crash.

Ext. Two trains thunder through the night with their whistles blowing and somehow miss one another by inches.

Int. Spellman living room

Sabrina- I did it.

Quizmaster- Excellent. Oh except.

Sabrina- Except what?

Quizmaster- Except when things are diverted. They_have_to_go_somewhere.

He leads Sabrina behind the settee and points her at the living room window. A light appears and gets bigger as she watches. a look of horror spreads across her face as she hears the train whistle blow. The light grows much, much bigger as the whistle blast still sounds. Her face becomes a picture of pure dismay as the light of the Engine fills the window. They both duck and cover their heads as the train thunders out of the night and into the Spellman's living room. Walls, settee's, piano's ceiling all disintegrate with the impact. huge clouds of dust and debris fill the room and fall on and around the two witches.

Int./Ext. What used to be the Spellman living room. It takes a while for the dust to clear. Sabrina wafts at it with her hands as she gazes around at the wreckage coughing and looks up at the still form of the train engine where there used to be a room. Hot metal ticks as it cools. They are both covered in plaster dust and there's really only one thing she can say.

Sabrina- Oops!

Quizmaster- You have to remember that all magic has consequences and you have to think about the consequences before you act.

Sabrina- So I got it wrong?

Quizmaster- Oh people are going to write country music about how wrong you got it.

With a spin the Quizmaster disappears, not wanting to have to help with the tidying up, just as Hilda and Zelda come rushing down the stairs. They are somewhat surprised to find a train engine in their living room. It's a bit much even for witches.

Hilda- Let me guess. You failed your first try?

Sabrina- I'll get it next time.

Zelda- I'm sure you will, but unfortunately there's a penalty

Sabrina- No dessert?

Exterior The Other Realm. Sabrina, Hilda and Zelda stand at the top of a cliff looking down. there's a closet door behind them against a backdrop of stars.

Sabrina- Witch Camp? What's Witch Camp?

Down below a troop in army olive drab marching by on a parade ground

Hilda- It's like military school. If military school were run by really strict, sadistic witches.

Zelda- It'll be okay. We'll pick you up in two days.

Sabrina- Two days! But I'll miss Harvey's dance.

Hilda- But you'll learn to kill and cook your own food.

Sabrina looks down on Witch Camp and she's definitely not a happy camper.

Run credits.
