Sam heard his alarm clock ring but he just covered his head with the pillow. He really didn't want to get up. Then he heard Mike knocking on his door. Mike said, "Sam get up mom and Gramps are downstairs waiting for you."
Sam removed the pillow from his head and got up. It was December 23, his birthday yet again. Sam never liked his birthdays because something bad always happened. Last year it was the day his father moved out of the house back in Phoenix. Sam was just glad it was the last day of school before winter break. Sam went downstairs and saw that Lucy had made him breakfast. She had burned it a little though. Lucy said, "Happy birthday Sammy. I'm sorry honey I really wanted this to be a special breakfast for you. My little boy is 17 years old."
"Thanks any way mom." The phone rang and Sam went to answer it. He said "Hello," but nobody answered. He thought it was strange but decided to head off to school.
Sam threw his half-open backpack over his shoulder. As Sam got to school he went to turn the corner and on the other side Finn was turning the corner as well. They bumped into each other and Finn landed on top of Sam. Finn dropped his books on the ground and one hit Sam in the face. Finn picked the book up off Sam's face and said, "I'm so sorry Sam. I can't believe this happened again."
"It's okay Finn. Now can you get up please I think I'm starting to lose the feeling in my legs."
Finn got up off of Sam picked up his books and scurried away. Sam wondered why Finn left so sudden. When Sam entered the halls he saw Edgar, Alan, Timandra, Laddie and Serafine. They were all listening to the PA system. It was Treat over the PA. Sam remembered that today Treat would pick who would be principal for a day at the school. Laddie had entered the contest and they all hoped it would be him to win. Treat said, "The election for principal for a day came down to two candidates: Aladdin Thompson and Turner Carson. And the winner of the 'Principal for a day' contest is...Turner Carson." As Sam saw Turner walk down the hall to the principal's office he noticed something different about the young boy. Sam concluded Treat must have turned Turner into a vampire and that is why he won the contest. Sam said, "Sorry Laddie I know how much you wanted to win."
Laddie replied, "That's okay. I mean he is the mayor, he must know what he is doingnot."
"Yeah well it was obviously rigged. I swear I think Turner is a vampire now."
Edgar said, "No duh. We've been on to the whole scheme since we saw the kid this morning. Oh yeah and by the way, Happy birthday."
"Yeah Happy Birthday Sam, " the others said together.
"Thanks but I can assure I doubt it's going to be all that happy."
Meanwhile Turner was settling into his new position. Treat had told him to give Sam and his friends an especially hard time. Turner called Ms. Taub on the phone. Sam and co. would be in her class next so he wanted to make sure she knew what to do. Ms. Taub assured the young vampire that she was ready. So Turner sat back, popped the video in the VCR, and watched his favorite TV show "Kidd Video."
Ms. Taub handed tests out to the groaning students. Has the students began focusing on the test Ms. Taub took that advantage of their preoccupation to cast her spell. Ms. Taub was secretly a wicca and Treat had her under his influence. Taub quietly cited her incantation. Her spell would become effective once the bell rang. Sam peered over Finn's shoulder trying to copy the right answers. Then the bell rang. Sam got out side and hugged Timandra and kissed her. She seemed to be shocked by Sam's action. Sam said, "Timandra what's wrong with you? I know we've been trying to take it slower but I just couldn't help myself."
"Sam, why are you calling me Timandra?"
"Well uh lets see, cuz that's who you are."
"No I'm Finn."
"Buh?"
Finn looked down at his body and was shocked to see that he now looked exactly like Timandra. Sam was then approached by Edgar, Serafine, Finn and Alan. Only they were not acting like themselves. What looked like Edgar said, "Oh this totally sucks. Look at me! I'm trapped in the pig's body."
Serafine, or Edgar rather, replied, "Yeah well how do you think I feel being trapped in your body? ActuallyI think I have to go to the bathroom."
"Oh no you don't! I swear if you do anything to my body"
Sam was trying to make sense of everything going on around him. Had he just kissed Timandra or Finn? And why did Serafine want to look at herself in the bathroom? Sam then said, "Okay from what I hear it appears you all have switched bodies or something right?"
They all responded with a duh-like "Yes."
"Okay so how did this happen?" Sam looked over and saw Ms. Taub exiting her room carrying a wicca book. She smiled at the chaos she had created. The other students all looked scared and confused. Sam didn't want her to know they were on to her so he continued to act confused. When she had gone Sam said, "It must have been Ms. Taub. I just saw the way she looked at everyone. She must have cast this spell when we were in class. Come on lets follow her."
Timandra (Finn's body) said, "But if she cast the spell on everyone in class why weren't you affected?"
Sam said, "I don't know but if we follow her I'm sure we'll find out."
Serafine (Edgar's body) looked over at Edgar feeling up Serafine's body. Serafine yelled, "Hey pig keep your hands off the merchandise!"
They all followed Ms. Taub to the principal's office. Turner was inside still watching TV. He now sang along with the show, "From my video to my radio!" He saw Ms. Taub enter the room. "So did you bring me my 'Garbage Pail Kids' cards? All I need in the series is a 'Slasher Asher' and his twin 'Claude Flesh'."
Ms. Taub answered sharply, "Is that all you want to know about? Treat gave us specific orders and you're in here watching cartoons."
The 13 year-old corrected "It's half cartoon and half live action, okay. And besides I have confidence that you completed your job."
"Yes I did actually."
Sam and co. were listening in all this time. Finn (Tim's body) said, "I can't believe this."
"Yeah," Laddie (Alan's body) replied, "Turner likes 'Kidd Video' too."
"Not that. Although I must admit I occasionally wake up early on Saturday morning to watch. But seriously I can't believe the mayor would be behind all this."
"Yeah well there's a lot about our mayor you don't know Finn. You see he's a vampire."
"Well I guess that would explain Turner's fangs."
They burst into the office. Well actually Edgar (Serafine's body) was trying to look down her blouse and lost balance and the door swung open and they all fell in rather. Sam got up, straightened his shirt and trying to act cool said, "We meant to do that."
Turner said, "Hey you guys aren't allowed in here. I suppose you overheard our conversation. So you all must die. Taub lock the door." Ms, taub locked the door behind them.
Sam said, "Turner wait. Is this really what you want? You weren't always like this. Before Treat got to you I'm sure you were a great kid."
Laddie (Alan's body) said, "Actually he was a real jerk. No one really liked him."
Sam replied, "You're not helping Laddie." Laddie shrugged his sholders.
So Turner grabbed Timandra (Finn's body). He sunk his teeth into the neck and the body fell to the ground lifeless. Sam ran to Finn's body lying on the floor. He held the head in his hands yelling in a "Planet of the Apes" like fashion to Turner, "Damn you bastard!"

Sam heard his alarm clock ring but he just covered his head with the pillow. He really didn't want to get up. Then he heard Mike knocking on his door. Mike said, "Sam get up mom and Gramps are downstairs waiting for you."
This all seemed a little too familiar to him. Then suddenly he remembered seeing Finn's dead body on the ground. He wondered how he had gotten back in bed. Sam quickly got ready and went downstairs. Downstairs Sam saw that Lucy had made him breakfast. She had burned it a little though. Lucy said, "Happy Birthday Sammy. I'm sorry honey I really wanted this to be a special breakfast for you. My little boy is 17 years old."
Sam absently said, "Thanks any way mom." The phone rang and Sam went to answer it. He said "Hello," but nobody answered. He thought this must be some kind of joke. Sam
said, "Okay what's going on here? Why are you all acting like it's my birthday again? Where's Timandra?"
Lucy replied, "Timandra? That's that girl you told me about right? I don't know Sam. I just thought you'd want something special on your seventeenth birthday."
"My seventeenth birthday was yesterday. You know what never mind. I don't want to be late for school. I need to know what happened to Finn, or Timandra rather." Sam left the house feeling very confused.
Sam threw his half-open backpack over his shoulder. As Sam got to school he went to turn the corner and on the other side Finn was turning the corner as well. They bumped into each other and Finn landed on top of Sam. Finn dropped his books on the ground and one hit Sam in the face. Finn picked the book up off Sam's face and said, "I'm so sorry Sam. I can't believe this happened again."
"Tim you're alive!"
"What are you talking about? Of course I'm alive. And my name is Finn." Finn thought to himself, I'm such a loser. Sam doesn't even remember my name.
"Something strange is going on here."
Finn saw Sam noticing the books he was carrying. Finn quickly grabbed his two books together and said, "Look Sam I gotta go." Finn left Sam in a hurry.
When Sam got inside Turner was pronounced Principal for a day again. By now Sam was starting to realize that everything was happening just like the day before. Only he didn't know why. He was relieved though that Timandra was still alive. When he got to class he tried to warn his friends about Ms. Taub but they didn't believe him. "Guys I'm telling you she's a witch."
Edgar replied, "Well she sure is something else that rhymes with witch."
"No seriously. We have to stop her."
"Gee don't be so dramatic. Have you been watching that 'Fifteen' show again? I told you Sam those annoying Canadian kids are gonna influence the way you act."
"No that's not it Edgar. I know what's going to happen already. I've already lived through all this."
"Yeah okay Sam. Come on guys we better get to class before Ms. Taub turns us into a frog."
"That's not funny Edgar. Besides you already are a Frog." Edgar laughed and went inside. Sam asked Timandra, "You believe me don't you Tim?"
"I'd like to Sam. It's just it does sound a little weird. You know the days repeating itself and all."
"Fine let Ms. Taub cast a spell on you. See if I care."
So they still went to class, and their bodies were switched, and Sam was still the only one not affected. So they burst, or fell rather, into the office again. Sam was going to make sure that this time Timandra was not killed by the mini vamp.
Turner said, "Treat told me to make sure you guys don't ruin his plan to turn the students into vampires. Therefore y'all must die."
Sam replied, " 'Y'all?' What are you a hill billy?"
"Actually my family comes from a long line of hill billies I'll have you know," Turner said defensively. "But quit trying to distract me. Taub lock them in." Ms. Taub went behind them and locked the door. Only this time Turner did not grab Timandra (Finn's body). Sam was so focused on keeping Turner away from his friends that he did not notice Ms. Taub coming up behind him. She grabbed him and threw him over to Turner. Turner sunk his teeth deep into Sam's neck. Sam could feel the blood being drained from his body. As he fell to the ground lifeless Timandra (Finn's body) ran up to him and held him in his hands.
*****
The alarm clock rang again. Sam could not understand what was happening to him. He was alive. Why was he the only one who realized the day was repeating itself? Why was he the only one not affected by Ms. Taub's spell? His head was full of questions but no answers. Then he heard Mike knocking on his door. Mike said, "Sam get up mom and Gramps are downstairs waiting for you."
Meanwhile at the Evans' residence Finn was pacing back and forth in front of the phone. He was too nervous to actually pick it up and dial. His horoscope for the day read: "Today is the day everything will change for you. But it will only happen on this day." Oh Finn would change today all right but he did not read it that way. To Finn it meant something else. For a while now he had been trying to fit in with Sam and his friends. And he thought today would be the day when he would really be accepted. So he decided to call Sam. He was still nervous though. Finally he picked up the phone. Sam answered but Finn couldn't speak. He hung up the phone. Finn didn't want this day to go by with out fulfilling his fortune. So he decided to cast a spell.
Sam threw his half-open backpack over his shoulder. As Sam got to school he went to turn the corner and on the other side Finn was turning the corner as well. They bumped into each other and Finn landed on top of Sam. Finn dropped his books on the ground and one hit Sam in the face. Finn picked the book up off Sam's face and said, "I'm so sorry Sam. I can't believe this happened again."
Since was the third time in a row Sam finally noticed something he had not the first two times. One of the books Finn was carrying was a spell book. Sam followed Finn as he scurried away. Finn went behind the gym and pulled out the spell book. Sam came up behind him and put his hands on Finn's shoulders. Finn was startled by Sam's touch. Sam asked, "Finn what are you doing?"
Finn reluctantly replied, "I was going to cast a spell."
"What? How?"
"Well you see I'm a sorcerer. Well, a sorcerer in training actually. And my horoscope today saidwell, I just thought that I might mess things up today. So I was gonna cast a spell that would repeat the day if I messed up, so I would be sure to get it right eventually. See Sam I really like youand your friends. Ever since I heard about how guys killed that werewolf last summer I've wanted to meet you. When we were teamed up for that project in Mr. Tessio's class I was so thrilled. I thought we could actually become friends. Then you invited me to your party. And today my horoscope said everything would change. And I didn't want to mess up my only chance to be your real friend."
"I like you too Finn. I do consider you a real friend. So now can you stop me from repeating the same day over and over?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You already cast the spell three days ago Finn. Only I was the one it worked on and not you."
"How could that be. The only way it would work on you is if you had the crystal." Finn reached in his pocket and found that the crystal was gone. So Sam checked his bag and sho 'nuff he found it.
"It must have fallen in when I bumped into you," Finn said now catching on. "You see the crystal is supposed to protect you from the affect of any spell. Therefore with it you were the only one who knew that the day kept repeating and everyone else did not."
"That would explain why I wasn't affected by Ms. Taub's spell too."
"Huh?"
"Long story. Look Finn please tell me you will not cast the spell this time. I am really getting sick of repeating this day over and over again. Did I ever tell you how much I hate my birthday?"
"I promise I won't cast the spell. Well we better get going. We don't want to miss Ms. Taub's big test."
"Trust me I think we do."
After explaining the situation with Ms. Taub and Turner to Finn the both of them were able to convince the others that she was really a witch. They were able to stop her and Turner from succeeding in their plan this time. Sam grabbed Turner. He said, "All right you little twerp this is the last time you try to hurt me and my friends." Sam threw Turner up against the TV in the office. Turner felt something break beneath him. Turner said in a pout, "Hey you jerk. You made me break my 'Kidd Video' tape. Man that was my favorite show. You're a big fat meanie head."
"Yeah well tough break kiddo." Sam decided not to stake Turner. He was just a kid after all. Instead Sam threw Turner out of the school. Turner covered himself with a coat trying to keep the sun rays from burning his skin. He ran to the nearest shelter from the gleaming sun. Turner swore he'd get his revenge on Sam some day. Right now he had to find a dark place before he was toast.
Sam was glad everything was finally back to normal. At least all his friends were back in their own bodies and none of them were dead. Finn caught up with Sam after school. Finn asked, "So did you hear about Ms. Taub? She decided to quit her job due to 'family troubles.' "
"Yeah. And what was up with Turner and his obsession with that 'Kidd Video' tape?"
The next morning Sam heard his alarm clock ring. Then heard Mike say, "Sam get up mom and Gramps are downstairs waiting for you."
Sam said to himself, "No. This can't be happening again."
He went downstairs and Lucy gave him his plate of breakfast. Only this time it was not burned. Lucy said, "Here you go Sam. I wanted to make up for yesterday's breakfast."
Sam was relieved that it was not the same as the day before. And he happily ate his breakfast.
