Spells 4 U
(A Subsidiary of the SRU Universe)
by Troy

	Corey Phillips knew he had no right to be miserable but he was. 
He
was from a well-to-do family that loved him.  He was captain of the
football team, star of the basketball team, dated the head cheerleader,
and was the most popular guy in school.  Most people would be thrilled,
but he hated it.  He
could not stand being in the spotlight.  Fate had not been kind.

	One day, he was wandering around a mall when he saw a sign.

Curious he walked inside.  The shop was filled with many intriguing
items.  He 
looked at various rings, medallions and other objects.  What is this
place he wondered.  Suddenly, a young man wearing jeans and a t-shirt
walked in.

	"Hello, Corey," the young man said.  "Whhoo aree you?" Corey
stammered.  "I am the wizard who runs this shop.  Glad to meet you." the
wizard responded.  "Wizard," Corey said inquisitively.  "Yes, a wizard."
said
the man, "Is there a problem?"  "No."  The wizard smiled and asked how he
could help.  "Well," stated Corey, "I want to be less popular.  I would
rather just
be one of the crowd."

	The young wizard grinned.  "Is that all?"  The wizard produced a
scroll and read it.  "It's done.  When you wake up tomorrow, you will be
one of
the crowd."  The young man thanked the wizard and hurried home. 

	The next morning, he felt a strong wind blowing.  This confused
him 
until he noticed all the ice.  The wizard had granted his wish.  He was
where he
could be one of the crowd.  Corey was a penguin.
