She first meets Celeste who was dressed as an exterminator after Abby's family home is overrun with Wasps from a nest that had been building up for 16 years in their attic. The family is then unable to re-enter their home until the wasps are removed and because of this Celeste is able to retrieve Abby's wish list.

She seeks the help of Celeste to try and change things but the rules of magic include that a wish cannot be taken back. Abby sits down and looks through her list of wishes to try and find something that could be useful.
