Everyone is Pregnant + Everyone is Level 2 = Time to Vote

Shannon looked at her phone. It read 3:05 PM.

"All right everyone. Please take a seat. We can't keep the store closed forever. It is a busy Saturday." Shannon shouted across the breakroom.

Luke came up to Shannon.

"Hey Boss, did everyone become a Life Witch?" Luke whispered scanning the room.

"Yes, Liz was the last one. What did you say to her to get her to agree?" Shannon whispered back.

"I have to visit her for lunch every day, but ..." Luke whispered before Shannon interrupted.

"You what?" Shannon said in surprise.

"But ... she has to lose her thin figure," Luke whispered raising his hands in defense.

"What do you mean?" Shannon whispered raising an eyebrow.

"I promised I would always have lunch with her if she became my ideal woman. And since you told everyone you were my ideal woman. That means she needs to share your figure." Luke whispered, trying to avoid the word fat.

"And she agreed?" Shannon whispered.

"Yep," Luke said smiling.

"Ha!" Shannon said in shock, raising a hand to her mouth to suppress her outburst.

"Shhh" Luke whispered.

"She always bullied me for my weight. She was always the thin sexy one of the family." Shannon whispered to Luke while eyeing Liz.

"I think she will look great with a thicc figure," Luke whispered counting the remaining 'Breeding Passes' on the table.

"I hope she gets super fat and stays that way forever," Shannon whispered harshly.

"Forever is a long time, but I plan to keep her pregnant. That should help." Luke whispered before picking up the 'Breeding Passes'.

"Shannon, I thought you had more than 3 passes," Luke said scanning the table.

"I told you everyone became Life Witches. It takes 5 passes to trigger the level up, and 1 pass is left over. Ten Ladies means 40 passes used. I believe Ellin and Ashley kept their cards." Shannon said taking the 3 passes from Luke.

"But you bring up a good point. Ask the crowd to turn over any passes they have." Shannon whispered to Luke.

"What?" Luke asked.

"Just do it, we are wasting time, ... Oh and thank them for becoming Sorcerers," Shannon stated.

"Fine," Luke said before turning and walking to the bulletin board.

"Everyone, thank you for staying sane through this crazy day. I would like to thank everyone for becoming Sorcerers. I believe we are making the most of this magical opportunity. Now that everyone is Pregnant and a Life Witch. We are no longer in need of 'Breeding Passes'. If you have any spare passes please turn them over to Shannon after the meeting." Luke said smiling at his baby mamas.

"Sure thing," Everyone said in unison, even Holly.

Luke stepped aside as Shannon waddled up to the center of the meeting.

"Ladies. We need to come to a decision on whether we join the Los Angeles Life Coven. Or decide to create our own coven. I believe the best course of action is to have a blind vote. To this end, I have prepared pencils and paper. On the paper are the words Join and Create. Please circle one and drop it into Luke's baseball cap at the back of the room." Shannon said turning to Luke.

"You went through my stuff I see," Luke said smiling.

"Not me, It was Ashley. She said something about you giving it to her." Shannon said looking towards Ashley.

"Aw," Luke said sporting Ashly.

Luke was reminded of catching Ashley trying to escape the store. She dressed in his clothes as a disguise. But he caught her and **** her to follow the 'Bellies for Everyone' policy. It was strange that she now sported a 6-month pregnant belly. He was right she did look great pregnant.

"Ladies, if there aren't any more questions please turn in your votes," Shannon said putting her hands on her hips.

"I have a question," Luke said raising his hand.

"Yes, Luke?" Shannon said turning to him.

"Is it alright if we have people voice their arguments for joining or creating a coven?" Luke said looking at the voting hat.

"Sure, that's a fine idea. But let's keep things brief. If everyone takes a turn, it would render the blind vote pointless." Shannon said turning back to the group.

Shannon was feeling regret at the possibility of Betraying Wanda's goodwill. The Level 20 Life Witch answered all her questions, at personal risk. Wanda said she wasn't allowed to divulge all the information she shared. All in an effort to recruit Shannon to the L.A. Life Coven. Shannon had set up the blind vote, to allow employees to vote against her own fear-mongering and Rebecca's interests. But was still feeling bad. Now, however, Shannon was grateful for Luke's suggestion. She now could argue both voting options. Thereby avoiding the feeling of guilt.

"I will open the discussion by reminding everyone Rebecca has suggested creating a New Coven. She also plans to host this coven at her mansion." Shannon said pointing to Rebecca.

Everyone turned to Rebecca, before turning back.

"Many of you might agree with her anger at the L.A. Life Coven's liberal use of 'Breeding Passes'. I also feel anger towards the L.A. Life Coven. It is wrong for them to control the minds and futures of so many people. But we shouldn't overlook the advantages of joining the L.A. Life Coven. They are a powerful group and we are new to magic. We might want to consider joining the L.A. Life Coven first and change them for the better. Or we could possibly leave the group after we learn more magic." Shannon said cheerfully.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I will not be voting. With the recent addition of Jesse, we sit at 12 people. Therefore I will forgo voting to avoid a tie." Shannon said pointing to Jesse.

"Yes, Luke?" Shannon says seeing Luke stepping forward.

"I have spoken with a few of you about joining the Magical World. I have done some thinking and I believe we are potentially at risk. Not imminent danger, but if we don't join the L.A. Life Coven we forgo their direct protection." Luke said scanning the crowd.

"It is evident that magic is real and powerful. If the L.A. Life Coven when through the trouble of setting up the 'Breeding Day at the Mall' all in an effort to collect Soul Energy, then it is very valuable. By becoming Sorcerers, we will also be holding some Soul Energy of our own." Luke said subconsciously holding his 'Breeding Talisman'.

"I agree that the L.A. Life Coven is abusing their magic. They are messing with people's minds and freedoms. But we don't know if there are dangers out there that justify the need for 'Breeding Days' and their subsequent Baby Booms. If magic is real, then magical monsters might be real. We might need to join or at least befriend powerful Sorcerers to avoid unnecessary risks." Luke said standing tall.

"That being said, I received a message after leveling up like you ladies. If I recall correctly it said something to the effect of:

'If you wish to stay independent (i.e. avoid joining a coven), please stay in protected areas controlled by Life Covens. **** Wizards are your enemy. They will steal and kill you for your Soul Energy. The LA Life Coven will not be held responsible for independent Life Wizards killed by **** Magic. Please continue to level up, and study magic. Your independence studies can be enhanced by seeking a higher-level Life Wizard for training. Please call XXX-XXX-XXXX you will be directed to Masters seeking apprentices or professional magical tutors.'

We must be aware that we will be targeted for using magic. But we can stay independent and pay other independent magic users for help. The threats to forming a New Coven can be avoided if we quickly hire or befriend high-level Sorcerers." Luke said looking at Rebecca before turning to Shannon.

"Sorry, if I was too argumentative. But I don't want anyone to take this vote lightly." Luke said walking to a chair and sitting.

"No, Luke. Those were good points everyone must consider." Shannon said watching him sit.

"Does anyone else want to say anything? If not, please vote and put your paper in the hat." Shannon said pointing to the back of the room.
