Int. Sabrina’s bedroom. Daylight shines through the window illuminating the sleeping face of Sabrina. A small black cat jumps up onto her bed and gets right in her face.

Salem- (Yelling) Okay, bride to be! Up and at ‘em!

She just shifts her head and rubs her nose.

Salem- (Cont.) Hey, wake up! Don’t make me put your hand in warm water again.

Sabrina- (Her eyes opening) Morning. Well, I guess your breath explains my ‘Trapped in a tuna boat’ dream. Oh, can you believe it? I’m actually getting married today. Whoo-hoo!

Salem- So how do you feel? Nervous, frightened, scared, tense, petrified?

Sabrina- Excited, happy, joyful. I’m getting married, how do you think I feel?

Salem- Nervous, frightened, scared. I just wanna make sure you’re not getting cold feet.

Sabrina- Salem, I do not have cold feet!

She throws back her quilt and swings her two blocks of ice onto the floor.

Sabrina- (Cont.) See? They’re not cold, they’re frozen solid!

Run opening credits.

Int. Spellman kitchen. While Sabrina been having a lie in, the rest of the house is already a hive of industry. Morgan has the phone propped against her ear while adding the finishing touches to her nails and Roxie is bawling out a florists delivery guy. They’re both sporting the largest rollers in their hair.

Roxie- Look, I don’t care what your invoice says; no one is getting married in this kitchen!

Morgan- (On phone) Yes, for the ten thousandth time, I am positive! Get off the parkway and take a right!

Roxie- (To Morgan) Left.

Morgan- (On phone) Get off the parkway and take a left.

Roxie- (To the flower guy) Trust me, it’s just down the street. Church, steeple. You open the door and see all the people. Go!

He reluctantly goes as the groom arrives with his parents, the all singing, all dancing Shirley and Bob.

Aaron- Hey-hey, what’s going on? Why aren’t the flowers at the church? Why aren’t you guys ready?

Because they are. Aaron looks very smart in his tailless tux and Bob and Shirley look the bees knees as the parents of the groom should.

Shirley- Is there anything I can do? I ask. Oh no, mother, just stay out of it, he says. Well, if you ask me...

Aaron- (Interrupting) Mother, just stay out of it!

Roxie- Aaron, don’t worry. We’ve got it all under control.

Morgan- Under control? I still have to do my hair and my nails and my makeup has to be perfect! Some of us don’t have the option of wearing a veil!

Roxie- Oh my God! I still have to steam Sabrina’s veil!

Bob- (Aside to Shirley) Something tells me I’m not getting breakfast.

Shirley- From this kitchen? Ha-ha, count your blessings.

Aaron- Okay-okay, please-please just tell me that Sabrina is a little further along.

Roxie- (Plugging in the iron) Yes. Morgan got her up hours ago.

Morgan- I didn’t get her up, you were supposed to get her up.

Roxie- (To Aaron) Would you excuse us for just one second?

They make for the stairs but Morgan turns back and gives the phone she’s been on to Aaron.

Morgan- Er, his names Al, He’s got three hundred pounds of shrimp in his trunk and he doesn’t know where to put it.

She dash off upstairs after Roxie while Bob checks what the fridge has in the way of breakfast.

Bob- Give the phone to your mother. She’ll tell him where to put it.

Int. Sabrina’s bedroom. Sabrina’s hard at work with an ice-pick and a hammer. Salem is getting a very close up look.

Salem- Howwy uck!

Sabrina- Hey, I told you not to lick it.

She brings the hammer down on the pick and the remaining block splits in tow releasing both Sabrina’s foot and Salem tongue.

Sabrina- (Cont.) There! Oh. (Massaging her frozen foot.) I’m sure I’ll get the feeling back before I walk down the isle.

Salem- Sabrina, aren’t you worried? This obviously happened for a reason.

Sabrina- Yeah, the only reason that it happened is because I’m a witch! Which just means that magic is always messing up my life!

Morgan and Roxie charge into the room.

Morgan- Sabrina, wake up! Oh good, you’re up. I’m off the hook.

Roxie- But you’ve gotta hurry and... (Spotting the pile of broken ice) What’s going on?

Sabrina- Oh, er well, it just occurred to me that I might not have ordered enough crushed ice for the reception.

Morgan- Well it’s show time and I am not gonna have you screwing up my big day! (On their looks) Your big day! I mean...

Roxie- (Interrupting) What she means is everything’s under control but you’ve gotta get dressed.

Morgan- Oh, and don’t forget your something old, new, borrowed and blue.

Sabrina- Got it... well, except for the something old... and the something new... and the something borrowed and my toes are kinda blue? Oh my God, what am I gonna do?

Roxie- Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it.

Morgan- Oh, why not? We’re, apparently, taking care of everything else.

Sabrina- Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Morgan leaves but Roxie hangs back sensing something’s not right with her friend.

Roxie- Sabrina, are you okay? It’s not like you to not be on top of everything. The flowers, the caterer and you’re an hour behind schedule?

Sabrina- Which is why I can’t be standing here having this conversation. Really, I’m fine. I just need a few minutes to collect my thoughts.

Roxie leaves and Sabrina takes a few deep breaths.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Okay, thoughts collected...

A zig-a-zag pattern of sparkles right in front of her eyes resolves into a pretty vision in blue silk. Her cousin Amanda in her bridesmaids dress.

Sabrina- (Cont.) And thoughts lost.

Amanda- Hi!

She gives her cousin a big hug.

Amanda- (Cont.) Oh, congratulations Sabrina. I’m so happy for you.

Sabrina- Thanks. Look, I’m kind of in a panic here, so I don’t have time for your teen ‘tude right now.

She sets about getting dressed.

Amanda- (To Salem) What’s up with her?

Salem- She’s having second thoughts.

Amanda- Ho-ho-ho!

Salem- M-hm.

Sabrina- No! No ha-ha-ha, no m-hm and no second thoughts. Maybe I’m having some... regrets, but that’s only because so many people I love can’t be here. I mean, my moms in Peru, you never know about my dad and I have no idea why my aunts haven’t RSVP’d.

Amanda- Is Harvey coming?

Sabrina- No, Harvey’s not coming.

Amanda- Well, don’t you want him there?

Sabrina- I don’t know! Yes, I would love to Harvey there, but... he just can’t be. You’re too young to understand.

Aaron- (OS)(Yelling from downstairs) Sabrina, could you come down here!... Quickly!

Salem- So, the bride isn’t the only one whose voice is tinged with terror.

Sabrina- (Pulling on her dressing own) You see, that’s your problem. You can’t tell the difference between terror and pure joy.

Aaron- (OS) SABRINA!

Sabrina- I’M COMING!

She leaves in a hurry and frowning, Amanda follows after.

Int. Spellman living room. Aaron has answered the door to a strange blonde woman with a lama. Shirley and Bob look on warily until Bob finally plucks up the courage to stroke the lama’s head.

Hilda- Er, don’t touch the lama, it’s a gift.

Bob- (Aside to Shirley) I suggest patio furniture but no, that too out there.

Sabrina runs down stairs.

Sabrina- (Excited) Aunt Hilda!

She throws her arms around her aunt in a huge hug.

Hilda- Hi honey!

Sabrina- Oh, you came!

Hilda- Of course.

Sabrina- And you brought me a lama?

Hilda- Oh, I hope you don’t already have one.

Aaron- Ha-ha. Sabrina, honey, what’s going on?

Sabrina- Oh, Aaron, this is my aunt Hilda. Aunt Hilda, my Aaron. (To Hilda) Isn’t he great? (To Aaron) Isn’t she great?

Hilda- U-hu!

Aaron- Yes, she’s great. Did we register for pack animals?

Hilda- Hey, cut me some slack. There’s not a lot you can pick up in Peru. It was either this or dysentery.

Sabrina- You were in Peru? Did you see my mom?

Hilda- Yes, and you cannot believe...

Sabrina- (Interrupting) Er, let’s talk in the kitchen.

Hilda- Okay.

She leads the lama off into the kitchen. Sabrina turns to the Jacobs’

Sabrina- I swear, I’ll be ready in two minutes. Chat with my cousin Amanda. She’s surly yet charming. Amanda, say something surly for the Jacobs.

Amanda- (Smiling charmingly) Hi.

Shirley- Oh, look at you, It’s so hard to find a bridesmaids dress that looks good on everyone.

Amanda- (Surly) Hey, I have melted people for less that that!

Sabrina quickly grabs the finger that is pointing threateningly at Mrs. Jacobs.

Sabrina- Okay, no pointing at the in-laws. At least not until after the wedding.

Having had second thoughts about leaving Amanda to entertain the Jacobs’ she drags her with her into the kitchen. Amanda gives Shirley a ‘we’ll settle this later’ look aver her shoulder.

Int. Spellman kitchen. Sabrina and Amanda join Hilda and the lama. Sabrina jumps straight in with...

Sabrina- So, you saw my mom. What did she say? How’d she look?

Hilda- Why don’t you ask her yourself?

She points at the lama and when the smoke clears Diana Spellman, Sabrina’s mom, is standing there in a beautiful mother of the bride frock.

Sabrina- (Shocked and delighted) Mom!

Diana- Sweetheart, I’m so happy for you.

They hug.

Sabrina- I can’t believe you’re here and you’re not a ball of wax?

Diana- Well you can thank Hilda and Zelda for that. They took me in front of the Witches Council and pleaded my case.

Hilda- Well, every mother should be at her daughters wedding... preferably not as something you can stick a wick in.

Sabrina- Thank you so much, but where’s aunt Zelda?

Hilda- Well, you know the Witches Council, there’s always a trade off.

She pulls a large red candle from her shoulder bag and hands it Sabrina.

Sabrina- <Gasp!> Aunt Zelda?

Hilda- Yep. Well, they asked for a volunteer, so I volunteered... her. Don’t worry. Just till after the wedding.

Sabrina- Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is the greatest gift ever and I’m suddenly feeling a thousand percent better. Can you believe it? All the Spellman women together again... and most of us in human form. (Looking around) Wait! Where’s Amanda?

Ext. Somewhere on route 90 between Southbridge and Springfield. A black and chrome monster barrels along the road. The black clad rider is enjoying the wind in his face and the solitude of the open road. The last thing he’s expecting is company. Particularly company wearing a powder blue silk bridesmaids dress along with a crash helmet. Company that wraps her arms tightly around his waist as she rides pillion. Company that says brightly.

Amanda- Hi Harvey.

So it’s hardly surprising that he screams in fright and careens off the road into a stand of trees. He picks himself up from the wreckage and finds himself remarkably unscathed, takes off his helmet and tosses it down before turning to Amanda who is sat smiling on a rock.

Amanda- (Cont.) Surprised to see me?

Harvey- Not at all. I wanted to test my new engine by ramming it into a tree. What are you doing here?

Amanda- I want to bring you to Sabrina’s wedding. Apparently, she loves getting people as gifts.

Harvey- Sorry, but there’s no way I’m going to that wedding. Gift wrapped or otherwise.

Amanda- But I know Sabrina wants you there.

Harvey- She does? (Amanda nods) Well, it’s too bad. It’s not gonna happen.

Amanda- Why not?

Harvey- You’re too young to understand.

Amanda- Oh, I really wish people would quit saying that! (To herself) I wonder if it’s too late to go halfsies on the lama?

She raises her finger to zap herself out of there but Harvey catches her wrist.

Harvey- Amanda, wait! The nearest phone is a fifteen mile walk.

Amanda- Oh, sorry.

She points and a public payphone appears beside the wrecked motorcycle.

Harvey- What is this, fun with mortals week?

Amanda- Yeah, like Mortals are ever fun.

She points again and the fully repaired and tuned Harley is stood beside the phone. Harvey grins at Amanda and jams his helmet back on his head.

Int. Spellman upstairs landing. Sabrina comes up the stairs dressed in tatty jeans and a top and makes for her bedroom but is spotted by Morgan coming out of her room in her blue silk bridesmaids dress.

Morgan- Sabrina. I know the number one rule about being a maid of honour is don’t upstage the bride, but if your gonna make it so easy.

Sabrina- Don’t worry. Two minutes and I’ll be absolutely dazzling.

Morgan- (Handing Sabrina a scarf) Wear this. It’s old, it’s blue and I borrowed it from you. Oh, and that stain, it’s new!

Sabrina- Thanks but I kind of already have an outfit picked out.

Another blue silk vision comes out of the bathroom allowing Morgan to rush in.

Roxie- Sabrina, come on. What are you doing?

Sabrina- I know, I know, two minutes, I swear!

Roxie- Good, because two minutes ago is when were supposed to have left for the church. But, I’m glad you’re in a much better mood.

Sabrina- I am. My families all here and all is right with the world.

Roxie- I’m glad. I don’t want you going into this with any doubts.

Sabrina- Doubts? I was never doubting.

She goes into her room.

Int. Sabrina’s bedroom. Sabrina enters to see a strange man dressed strangely sitting on her bed eating peanuts. His green chequered pants clash with his red striped jacket while his tie clashes with the world but it’s his top hat that completes his strangeness. He’s overheard her comment as she’s come in.

Doubt- If that’s true, I’m definitely in the wrong place.

Sabrina- Do I know you?

Doubt- I doubt it. I’m Doubt. Apparently, there’s some serious doubting going on around here.

Sabrina- No! No doubt... Although their last CD’s was one of my favourites. Look, for the last time, I’m not doubting anything! The man I loves down stairs, I’ve got hundreds of people cooling their jets in pews across town and my mom just flew in from Peru! I’m getting married!

Doubt- I guess I went all the way to the North Star for nothing.

He reaches into his trouser pocket, pulls out a small box and hands it to Sabrina. She opens it and stares at the contents. It’s a small crystalline stone in the shape of a half moon. The flat edge is jagged in a series of zigzags. In it’s translucent centre is the smiling face of Aaron.

Sabrina-Oh, it’s so beautiful.

Doubt- That’s the essence of who Aaron is.

Sabrina- This is Aaron’s soul stone?

Doubt- Exactly. Hey, for me, that was pretty definitive... I think.

Sabrina- Look, I’ll tell you something definitive. You’re tap-dancing on my last good nerve. Why are you giving this?

Doubt- Because that’s what you’re doubting, isn’t it? Whether or not you and Aaron are soul mates?

Sabrina- No! Well... maybe... I... Can you ever really know for sure? Ergh! Why are you doing this to me on my wedding day?

Doubt- Better than the day after. (On her glare) If you’re truly meant to be, your pieces should fit together perfectly. If you want to be certain, the answers waiting for you at the north star.

He fades away to nothing. She puts the crystal back in its box.

Sabrina- (To herself) I am certain! I love Aaron! Well, at least I’m pretty certain I’m certain.

Morgan sticks her head into the room.

Morgan- Sabrina, what’s the hold up? Aaron and his parents just left for the church.

Sabrina- Oh, I know. I know. Two minutes, I swear. I just have to point at my hair... I mean, do my hair and I’ll be right there.

Morgan- All right. I’m still working on the something blue.

She leaves and Sabrina looks at the small box in her hands.

Sabrina- Oh, I don’t have time for this right now!

She puts it down on her dressing table.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Okay, one ping and I’m all ready.

She points at herself and takes a deep breath but she cant bring herself to fire off her finger.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Okay, two pings. ‘One place in heaven is always true, help me to know before I say I do’

Now she points at herself and vanishes in a swirl of sparkles. A moment later the bedroom door opens and Morgan’s head appears again.

Morgan- What about blue... Sabrina?

Ext. The surface of the brightest celestial body in the night sky. Sabrina arrives in a swirl of sparkles and looks around.

Sabrina- Wow, so this is the North Star?

Celestial Voice- Welcome to the North Star system. May I help you?

Sabrina- Oh, hi. I’m Sabrina Spellman and I’m getting married in like, er... (Checks her watch) ...now. So, I was wondering...

Celestial Voice- (Interrupting) The exact nature of your problem, please?

Sabrina- Oh. I’m er just looking for my soul stone but I wouldn’t mind taking a ride on the soul train. I mean, only if you’re serving soul food.

The voice shows no appreciation for Sabrina’s attempted humour.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Hello? Am I the soul person here?

Int. Sabrina bedroom. Amanda sits patiently waiting on Sabrina’s bed. A swirl of sparkles heralds her arrival clutching her small crystal stone.

Amanda- You know, everybody thinks you ran away.

Sabrina- What? No. No running, just some popping. Look, tell everyone I’ll be there in...

Amanda- (Interrupting) I know! I know! Two minutes. Is everything all right?

Sabrina- Yes. Everything is fine. Just, please go.

Amanda leaves giving her cousin a worried look as Sabrina takes Aaron’s stone from it’s box and taking a deep breath, brings to the jagged edges of the stones together. When they come together they both glow with a brilliant light.

Sabrina- (Delighted) They fit! They fit!

But the light fades as the two edges are not perfectly aligned.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Almost. Oh no, what am I supposed to say? I almost do?

She squeezes the two stones together trying to will them to fit together.

Int. St. Paul’s Church. The guests are gathering and in a vestibule sit Sabrina looking radiant in her beautiful white wedding gown and welders mask. Salem is beside her in a cat tuxedo watching her using a grinding wheel to try and force Aaron and her soul stones to fit together. There’s a knock on the door.

Roxie- (OS) Sabrina, are you in there? Open up.

Sabrina- Just a minute! ?* - *?

She lifts the visor on her mask and holds the stones together.

Sabrina- Almost. I mean... pretty close.

Salem- And like they say. Close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades and soul mates.

She waves her finger and both hers and Salem’s masks vanish.

Sabrina- <Sigh> Salem, what am I gonna do?

Salem- Well, if your father was here, he’d say it’s time to have...’The talk’ (Ignoring Sabrina’s glare) Sabrina, when a young woman...

He’s cut off by the door opening and Roxie and Morgan running in. Morgan had found a key somewhere.

Roxie- There you are. We were so worried.

Morgan- Yeah, there were no cute guys here until the best man showed up.

Sabrina- Can I ask you guys something? I mean, you know I love Aaron, right? I mean, it’s pretty obvious we were meant to be together?

Roxie- Yeah, you guys are great together.

Sabrina mom enters.

Diana- Honey, are you okay? Everyone’s waiting out there.

Hilda follows Diana in.

Hilda- Sabrina, what is your uncle Mortimer doing here? You know I can’t stand him?

The small room is beginning to get crowded as Shirley adds to the gaggle of woman.

Shirley- Not to alarm you, but everything is a total disaster. The soloist hasn’t arrived and the organist is drunk behind the rectory.

Hilda- Look, Sabrina doesn’t need to hear that right now! You don’t see me running in here and telling her that the ring bearer is yakking all over the men’s room! I kept that to myself.

Ha, finally there’s some testosterone in the room.

Bob- People, let’s move it along. The ministers about to go into double time and I’m not paying for that.

Various arguments and, to put it politely, discussions have burst out as Aaron wonders in. He tries to get peoples attention and fails until he sticks his fingers in his mouth and lets out a piercing whistle. Morgan, Hilda and Shirley, who were nearest to Aaron put their fingers to their stinging ears. Sabrina is suddenly conscious of what she’s wearing and that one person in the room should not be seeing like this just yet.

Aaron- Okay, listen up! Mrs. Spellman, go tell the minister to preach patience. Mom, dad, please do something about the music and Hilda, just... go feed your lama. I’d like to have a moment with Sabrina.

Morgan- (Getting in his way) Hey, you are not allowed to be in here right now! You can’t see the bride in her wedding dress!

Aaron- But if I don’t I’m afraid there may not be a wedding. So...

Reluctantly they all file out of the vestibule and he closes the door behind them.

Aaron- (Cont.) So, what’s going on?

Sabrina- Oh, y’know, I’m just a little nervous and a little anxious and I-I think I left the oven on. I should go check on that.

Aaron- Sabrina, look. I know that you’re scared and having doubts. Believe me, I am too.

Sabrina- (Under her breath) Yeah, but yours doesn’t leave peanut shells in your dust ruffle. (Aloud) Do you think we’re soul mates?

Aaron- Soul mates? Do you mean are we destined to be together?

Sabrina- Yeah, two halves of a whole? Yin and Yang? Ben and Jerry?

Aaron- (Laughing) Sabrina, life doesn’t have any guarantees. I mean, all we can do is try to make each other happy. (Taking her hand) There’s one thing I don’t doubt. That I love you.

He kisses the back of her hand.

Sabrina- I love you, too.

Aaron- Well it sounds like a pretty good foundation for something?

Sabrina- Yeah, it does, doesn’t it?

Aaron- So, should we do this?

Sabrina- Absolutely! Okay, and um when you see me, act surprised.

With a laugh he opens the door.

Aaron- (Yelling) All right, let’s rock and roll people! We’re having a wedding!

He leaves and Sabrina turns to the only person who has just heard their entire exchange.

Sabrina- Salem, what do you think?

Salem- I think we still need to have... ‘The talk’ Sabrina, when a young woman enters...

Int. St. Paul’s church. Aaron and his best man walk passed the full pews to the alter and turn to face the guests. The minister gives a nod to the organist. Bob gives the minister the thumbs up and starts playing and Shirley, standing beside him, sings.

Shirley- (Singing) I love you truly...

Int. The vestibule. The flower girl stands ready while the maids of honour finish off Sabrina ensemble. Morgan arranges her veil and Roxie paints her toenails.

Morgan- Okay, one blue toenail, five dollars I borrowed from the flower girl. (At the flower girl scowl) Oh, calm down, you’ll get it back. A new phone number from the best man... and I’m gonna need that back, and this bracelet that I grabbed from your jewellery box, which makes it old and stolen.

She slips the old bracelet onto Sabrina’s wrist while Roxie finishes painting the toe.

Roxie- There. I think you’re ready to go. Oh, you look so beautiful.

Morgan- Oh, thanks. I wasn’t sure about the colour, but.

Sabrina- Oh, I can’t believe this is it!

At a signal the flower girl leads the way spreading her petals before the bride.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Wait, where’s Amanda?

She enters breathless from a side door.

Amanda- Hey! Oh, sorry I’m late. I had some business to take care of. (On Sabrina’s look) Don’t worry, you’re too old to understand.

She picks up her bouquet and follows the flower girl.

Ext. A small, roadside, grocery store. Harvey walks out taking a long pull on a bottle of mineral water and looks up and down the street. His black Harley Davidson is parked by the curb and he notices a small box sitting on the saddle. He picks it up and looks up and down the street again for whoever left it.

Int. St. Paul’s church. The maids of honour walk down the isle side by side behind Amanda as Shirley continues to sing. In the vestibule Sabrina stands waiting to go with Salem beside her when a man steps out of thin air wearing a tux.

Edward- Anybody looking for a father of the bride?

Sabrina- Dad! I can’t believe you’ve made it!

They kiss.

Edward- I’m sorry I’m late but there was a little flying monkey uprising and I had to pour some water on it.

The first chords of the wedding march starts up.

Sabrina- Oh, well it sounds like you’re right on time.

Edward- (Offering his arm) Shall we?

Sabrina- (Taking it) We shall.

They set off but she’s only taken three steps when something on her wrist catches her eye.

Sabrina- Oh! Oh my God! Wait. (Shaking her wrist) Wait, I can’t wear this! Get it off me, hurry!

Edward fiddles with the clasp of the bracelet that Morgan had given for her something old. Once he’s got it off he reads the inscription.

Edward- What’s twelve thirty-six?

Sabrina- Oh, Harvey gave me that seven years ago. Twelve thirty-six is the exact time that we met.

Edward pockets the bracelet and takes her arm again while in the main church the guests wait for their first look at the bride. Hilda is sat beside Diana in the front pew on the bride’s side. Hilda whispers urgently to a candle.

Hilda- (Whispering) I told you to go before the ceremony started!

There’s a whispered ‘Psst! Psst!’ and Hilda turns to Diana.

Hilda- What?

Diana- What?

Hilda- ...What?

Sabrina- (Whispering) Psst! Down here!

They look down a see a tiny little four inch high Sabrina standing on the rail in front of them.

Hilda- Oh. Hey Sabrina. Whaddya doin’?

Diana- What in the world?

Sabrina- Crisis! I really need to talk to you guys back here!... I mean, back there! Oh, I’m kinda turned around! Oh, I need to talk to you!

She points at herself and vanishes.

Hilda- (To Diana) Let’s go.

They get up and walk back to the vestibule. Amanda, Roxie and Morgan see them go and glance at one another.

Roxie- Let’s go.

They follow after, Morgan stopping by the best man on the way.

Morgan- (Whispered to the best man) I’m gonna need you to write down that number again.

Aaron- (To his parents) I'll be right back. Try and stall, maybe no one’ll notice.

He follows Morgan. Shirley looks at Bob.

Shirley- Hit it! (Singing) You say e-ther and I say i-ther!

Bob- (Singing) You say ne-ther and I say ni-ther!

Shirley- (Singing) E-ther!

Bob- (Singing) I-ther!

Shirley- (Singing) Ne-ther!

Bob- (Singing) Ni-ther!

Bob & Shirley- (Singing) Let’s call the whole thing off!

Int. The vestibule. Sabrina tries to explain the mess that her feeling are in to her mother and her aunt.

Diana- I’m sorry, honey, I’m just not following?

Sabrina- The stones don’t fit together! That means our soul mates are still out there somewhere! Doubt was in my room this morning.

Diana- Doubt?

Hilda- Oh, annoying little man!... but such a good dancer.

Sabrina- And even before today, it’s just been so hard. I mean, the circus showed up and there was no room for him in my heart and he got turned into a goldfish...

Hilda- (Interrupting) It sounds like a pretty normal courtship to me.

Sabrina- Why is the universe so against me?

Diana- Well the answer to this is simple. No more!

Sabrina- No more? What, no more?

Diana- Magic! So, two pieces of glowing coal don’t fit together. Who cares? What matters is what’s in your heart. No magic can tell you that.

Hilda- Sabrina, your mothers right. The universe isn’t against this wedding, you are. You’ve gotta stop all the pointing and incanting and listen to what your heart is telling you.

Sabrina- But...

Diana- (Interrupting) No buts! Life doesn’t have any guarantees. All you can do is try to make each other happy.

Sabrina- That’s the same thing that Aaron said.

Diana- Well he sounds like a very smart young man.

Hilda- And Sabrina, no matter what you decide to do, it’s not the end of the world. Believe me, I’ve been to the end of the world. This isn’t it.

Sabrina hugs her aunt and her mom.

Sabrina- Oh, you two are the best! All right. Go tell everyone I’ll be there in two minutes... and this time, I mean it.

Int. Main church. The entertainment continues.

Shirley- (Singing) Good times and bum times,
I’ve seen them all and, my dear.

Everyone who had rushed off to the back of the church now rushes back again. Aaron signals to his mother with a cut gesture.

Aaron- Mother!

Shirley- (Singing) I’m still here.
I’ve run the gamut
A to Z.
Three cheers and dammit,
c’est la vie!

Aaron- Mother!

He gets her attention and Bob switches to playing the wedding march again. Sabrina’s dad proudly escorts her down the isle.

Later. Sabrina stands before the minister her arm linked with Aaron’s.

Minister- So, if there are no objections? (There aren’t any) Sabrina, if you’ld like to begin.

Sabrina- Okay.

She hands her bouquet to Morgan and turns to face Aaron.

Sabrina- (Cont.) I, Sabrina, take you, Aaron Jacobs...

She drops her small purse and lands with a loud thunk! She quickly bends and picks it up.

Sabrina- (Cont.) Sorry. Er, where was I? Oh, um I, Sabrina Spellman, take you, Aaron Jacobs, to be my partner in life. My one true... My one true... My...

Aaron- Sabrina?

Sabrina- (To The minister) Could we just have a minute?

Murmurs and mutters pass amongst the guests, Amanda, Roxie and Morgan look on concerned.

Sabrina- (To Aaron) I just wanna talk over some er little...

She looks around for somewhere a little private.

Sabrina- (To her bridesmaids) Do you mind?

Roxie and Morgan take her veil and hold it up between Sabrina and Aaron and the rest of the room. It offers little in the way of privacy being both transparent and not very soundproof, but it’ll have to do.

Aaron- So, I’m sensing a little hesitation on your part?

Sabrina- You’re such a wonderful guy...

Aaron- (Interrupting) But, we’re not two halves of a whole.

Sabrina can only look down at her feet.

Aaron- (Cont.) Sabrina, all I want is for you to be happy, but if we’re not soul mates, maybe we shouldn’t be doing this.

Sabrina- Aaron, I am so sorry.

Aaron- (Interrupting) No, don’t be. Never think that almost is good enough for you.

Sabrina- Or for you.

She kisses him on the cheek before turning to face her guests and gesturing for Roxie and Morgan to remove the veil.

Sabrina- Okay, well, that about concludes today’s festivities, although I have about three hundred pounds of shrimp across town, you’re all welcome to. So, um, thanks for coming.

‘Running’ by No Doubt is played over the following. Sabrina walking briskly down the isle avoiding the stunned gaze of family and friends.

Ext. St. Paul’s church. The doors open and Sabrina walks out onto the steps into glorious mid day sunshine. She drags her train through the door allowing it to close behind her and pulls off her veil. Looking up she sees a man dressed in black leaning against his motorcycle by the curb looking back up at her.

Sabrina- Harvey?

Harvey- (Holding his soul stone) I’m not really sure what this is, but something tells me I’ll find the answer here.

Sabrina- (Grinning) I think I’ve just found mine.

Picking ups her skirts she hurries down the steps to him where he takes her in his arms kisses her. No worries about anyone turning into a frog here. The doors open and people start to file out of the church and look down on the kissing couple.

Amanda- It’s about time.

Salem- It’s about time.

Hilda- It’s about time.

The red candle she’s holding bursts into flame.

Hilda- I just said that!

Down by the curb, Harvey has given Sabrina a helmet and helped her onto the bike. He climbs on himself and they both toss their bits of crystal onto the pavement where they fall together, their ragged edges fitting together flawlessly. The two images in the soul stones come together and kiss as the stones become one.

Roxie- I guess that’s the something old she’s needed.

Edward- (To Hilda) Would you look at that? (Showing her his watch) Twelve thirty-six on the dot.

The motorcycle engine roars to life and they ride off with everyone waving goodbye as the music fades.

Run Credits.

The End
