[bunniefuu]

- Now, you give her a "so sorryI was a meeny-weeny" present.

- That?

Why do I wannagive her a present?

I don'’t even like her.

- You'’re pretending you do,remember?

We need herweak and distracted.

I wasn'’t expectingso many witches in Miami.

- Me, neither.

Wait--why do you have two?

MIA: There aretwo witches...

Maddie and Emma.

You'’ll give Emmathe necklace,

and Katie will giveMaddie the bracelet.

- Well, what about Jax?

You'’re notworried about him?

- Nah, he'’ll run himself raggedtrying to save Emma.

"Don'’t worry, Emma,Jax to the rescue."

- Spot-on impression.What about the council?

- Also distracted by thecommotion we'’re about to make.

- So... what exactlydoes this do?

- This willscramble her spells,

giving me enough timeto destroy her.

- Come on, Em,he'’s an hour late.

Leave already.

DANIEL: There you are. I'’ve beenlooking all over for you.

EMMA: You said our secret place.

I'’ve been waiting herefor an hour.

- Exactly.Our secret place is the gym.

- The gym?

- Yes.Lots of places to hide--

under the bleachers,behind the mats.

- You don'’tremember our place?

- I didn'’t.

My memory'’s all hazyfrom the spider-bite thing.

I-- I got confused.

I'’m sorry.

- Don'’t be.I'’m the one who'’s sorry.

I should'’vethought of that.

- It'’s okay.

I made a surprisefor you.

- It-- it'’s not likeyour surprise performance

at the Never-endingSummer party, is it?

- No, this is way better.

I made the surprise.

- You made that?- Uh-huh.

Daniel, it'’s beautiful.

- Try it on?

- What do you want?

- Can we talk?

- Why don'’t you just go talkto your best friend, Mia?

- She'’s not my best friend.

Come on, Maddie,I'’m trying to apologize.

I miss you guys.

- Aah.

- Not you.

I mean, including you.

Anyway, I made youa friendship bracelet...

as a peace offering.

- Wow! It'’s even betterthan the one I saw at the mall.

Look at that crystal.

[chuckling]

I'’ll have tothink about it.

I dressed up as a fairy for you,and you stood me up.

And you arean amazing boyfriend.

I love it!

Emma?

Emma?

[all screaming]

- What are you doing here?

- I don'’t know!- Well, get lost!

You'’re spoilinga very special,

very private moment.

- Sorry, I-- I'’m going...right now.

- What'’s the problem?

- I don'’t know!

[grunting]

- What are you doing?

- Emma, are you okay?

- I don'’t know, I'’m tryingto leave, but I can'’t.

- Well, try harder!

- Whoa!

Witch-blitz--get it?

'’Cause you guystried to tackle me,

and you'’re both wi--

Yeah, you got it.

- What'’s going on?

- Wait, wait, wait,stay here.

- Go to the window.- Why?

I don'’t wannago to the window.

- Just go tothe window, please.

Yeah, I think I knowwhat'’s happening.

You guys are stuck together.

BOTH: No!

- Emma?

JAX: Emma?

What did you do to her?- What are you doing here?

Were you spying on us?

- No. I was just walking byon-- on my way to the--

to the library.

- You haven'’t been to a libraryin your entire life.

- Sure I have, I buymagazines and--

and gum from thereall the time.

What happened to her?

- She'’s probablyin some pool somewhere.

You know how crummy she isat tele-transporting.

- What is wrong with you?

- I wonder thatabout you every day.

- You are no longer free toroam, Daniel, stay home.

- We almost have it.

- [groaning]

- Whoa!

- Daniel.

- You jumped onour prank.

- Why do I have to stay overat Maddie'’s on a school night?

Uh, that'’s agreat question,

and it deservesan answer.

It-- it'’s for...

social studies.

Yeah, we havea baby simulator.

It cries and eatsand sleeps,

and we have totake care of it all night.

- Now, why is she here?

- We'’re stuck together.- What?

- It'’s some kind ofannoying spell or something.

If we get more thanfive feet apart...

this happens.

- Oh, well,that is...

the most wonderful newsI'’ve ever heard!

- It is?- Yes!

- [imitating baby]Waah! Waah! Waah!

Gotta go,the baby'’s crying.

We get points offif we let her cry.

- Hi, Francisco? Hi.

Oh, isn'’t it wonderful thatour girls are working together?

It'’s like they'’re sisters.

Why don'’t you stop bytomorrow morning,

and you canpick her up.

Oh, you havean early meeting?

: a.m.?

No, that'’s nottoo early for me.

- He bought it, and now let'’sstart going through

your mom'’s magic books.

- Why don'’t you just go getthe Hexasaurus?

- He'’s sleeping overat Andi'’s.

She'’s going to checkif he knows anything.

- [chuckling]

You guys are so weird.

- If we both go through them,I'’m sure we'’ll find something

about what'’s making usstick together.

Look, I'’m not staying up allnight reading dusty old books.

No one cares if youhave bags under your eyes,

but I'’m head Panther.

I need mybeauty sleep.

We'’ll deal with itin the morning.

You'’re over there.

- Come on!

- No way!I'’m not a Panther.

- Don'’t I know it.

But until we can separate,you have to get in formation.

Get in Katie'’s position.

- Sorry,I just can'’t do it.

- You'’re right.how silly of me.

Sophie, you'’ve been promoted.

You get into Katie'’s spot,and Emma will go in yours.

- [laughing]

Uh, what are you doing?

- I'’m the new Katie.

The clothes areno problem,

but the hair'’sgonna take more time.

Ooh!I have an idea.

- Good morning,Pan... thers.

- Temporarily.

She'’s a guest Panther.

- Jax!

Stop moving!- You first!

- Same time?- Fine!

- One, two, and...

Hey!

- Seriously?

Who falls for that?

- Let'’s go to Lily,she can help us.

- I just came back frommy probation meeting with her.

She just wentto the council.

- We'’ll checkafter first period.

I'’m off to history--- But I have French class.

- Oh, no, I didn'’tthink of that.

- Let'’s go to history.

[French accent]I'’m already "fluiella" French.

Ooh-la-la.

Sophie!

- I raided the Drama Club'’scostume supply.

It'’s not exactlylike Katie'’s, but it'’ll do.

- We don'’t need Katie anyway.

- You'’re right.

[speaking French]

- Olé!

Sophie, get it together.

- Sorry, Maddie.

Having long hair isthrowing my balance way off.

- There'’s Mia,I'’m gonna go talk to her.

- She doesn'’t look likeshe'’s in a mood to talk.

- I just need to getclose enough to smell her.

- What are you guys doing?

- Oh! Hey, Mia.

I'’m just taking inthis fresh...

[inhaling deeply]

hallway air.

- You weren'’t coming overto gloat about Daniel?

- What? No.

- I'’m sure you'’re happy nowthat he broke up with me.

Said you twohave something special.

- He said that?

I-- I mean,he said that?

- Yeah, so, if you'’llexcuse me.

- Aah!

- Stop moving.

- So, what'’s the emergency?

- Jax put some spell on me,and now I'’m...

prisoner inmy own house.

- Oh, that'’s so cool.

It'’s like dog'’s with like,invisible fences.

I-- I mean, uh,

h-how could Jaxdo that to you?

Poor doggy Daniel.

- Ha-ha-ha,very funny.

You'’ve gotta convince himto let me out of here.

- What, me?

I think you mean Emma.

- She can'’t know.

I promised her I'’d try toget along with that...

wombat.

- What--what'’s wrong?

- I don'’t feel too good.

- Hey, look, you don'’thave to try to convince me.

I'’m not your mom.

- I'’m serious,I feel weak.

I think Jaxdid something to me.

- No spa residue.

- You have to help us.

My popularity goes down withevery sighting of us together.

- Yeah, '’cause that'’sthe worst part of this.

- Open.

Hmm, it'’s clear.

Good dental hygiene,by the way.

- Thanks.

- Let us backtrack.

Emma, what happenedjust before you transported

to Maddie'’s?

- I was with Daniel,we were at the dock, and then...

- And then he gave youthat ugly necklace.

- How do youknow about that?

Were you spying on us?

JAX: No, I was just--

I was just protecting you.

- Heh heh, and doinga good job of it, too.

- Wait, wait--necklace, what necklace?

- Oh, big whoop.

The bracelet Katie gave mehas the same crystal,

but it'’s way nicer.- Wow...

- Don'’t touch it!- What is it?

- Is that...- Is that what?

- How did theyget their hands on it?

- On what?- It can'’t be!

ALL: What?

- They'’re pieces ofthe Cristal de Caballero.

- No!We have to get them off.

- Why?What does it do?

- It-- it causes your powersto go haywire.

- Is that why we'’restill stuck together?

- I don'’t know why.

- You cannot cast a spell.

- One of you cast a spell--- Agamemnon.

- A small oneto test the, uh, uh--

- Cristal de Caballero.

- What she said.

Go on, Miss Alonso.

Cast a spell--not in my direction--

over there.

- A small spell,I can do one of those.

I'’ll make something simple,let'’s see a rose.

[all screaming]

- It hasn'’t progressedtoo far yet,

but it willkeep getting worse.

Eventually,just by casting a spell,

you could destroythe entire world.

- You gotta havesomething in here.

Ah.

[grunting]

There.

EMMA: [chuckling]

- Oh.

- How dare she?

Katie is permanently bannedfrom the Panthers.

And she can forget aboutbeing our bridesmaid

in our future wedding.

- "Our wedding"?

- Relax.

In to years.

- Excuse me!

I can'’t be latefor chemistry.

- I'’ve got a free period.

There'’s no way I'’mspending it in the lab.

Hey, where haveyou been?

- Oh, you know,here and there, and--

Hey, Jax, ol'’ buddy.

Ol'’ pal.

Can I talk to youfor a minute?

In private?

- Why?What are you gonna do to me?

- What? Nothing.Why would you think that?

- Well, because last time yousaid you wanted to talk

in private, you gave me a noogieso gnarly I had a bald spot.

- Oh, yeah,that was fun.

We should try thatagain sometime.

- Andi,what'’s going on?

All right,you know what,

Daniel didn'’t want meto tell you, but...

Jax, can you finallytake the spell off of him

so he can finallyleave his house?

- You put a spell on Daniel?

- I, uh, I-- I may havepointed in his direction

while accidentallyrhyming.

- And now he'’s stuckin his house?

- Yeah, and not only that,it'’s making him sick.

- Whoa, whoa,whoa, whoa, whoa.

I-- I didn'’t do that.

- Reverse the spell, now!

- No, Em,don'’t you see?

He gave you the cursed necklace.He'’s dangerous.

- I'’m sure there'’san explanation for it.

Please, Jax.

- Okay.

- How do I knowyou really did it?

Happy now?

- You...- Daniel!

[gasps]

- It'’s not my spell.

- All right, let'’s do this,we haven'’t got much time.

- Okay.

- Okay, so risers here,

and the branch lines go here,here, and over here.

- What'’s the static pressure?

- psi.- Piece of cake.

- Sure you wanna sitwith the enemy?

Aren'’t you afraid thatI'’m gonna poison your food?

- Well, can'’t getany more toxic than this.

Look, Jax, uh,I believe you.

Even though you can bewicked, shameless--

- Okay, I'’ve got it.- Annoying, egotistical--

- Get to the point.

- I'’m getting there.

Look, I don'’t thinkit'’s the spell

that'’s makingDaniel sick.

JAX: Then what is it?

- Well, I'’m just not buying thathe'’s cured of the spider seal.

Look, the council saidthat witches couldn'’t do it,

and that was too easy.

- You do have a point.

- I think that we shouldmake sure

that the spider seal'’s gone.

We just have toget Daniel alone.

- Easy, I still have detention

for fighting with himin the hall.

- Perfect-- now I justhave to figure out a way

to get in there, too.

- No problem.ANDI: What? No!

- Who was it?

- I am so sorry,Mr. Alonso.

See, I was just practicingmy egg juggling, and whoops.

- Oh, look at this.

Maybe an afternoonin detention

will make you think twicebefore doing it again.

- Oh, man!Detention?

- Detention, today.

Now, get to class!

T, where are you?

WOMAN: Principal Alonso, please report to the office.

The plumber is here to fix the sprinkler system.

- I'’ll be right back.

No talking.

[door shuts]

- Now what?

- Um...

- What was that?

- What was what?- My neck.

- Um, it'’s probably just the--the sprinkler system above you.

Yeah, it'’s stillgoing off from earlier.

- :, right?

I guess...

- Ow!Diego, too much!

I feel like a pieceof burnt toast.

- Sorry.

- How much longer,Lily?

- Just about there.

ANDI: Whoa!

- It'’s likea sauna in here.

- We'’re attempting to free themfrom the Cristal de Caballero.

- Yeah, how? By makingus all sweat so much,

the crystal runs awayfrom the stink?

- The theory is the applicationof the magic heat...

[panting]

will melt the bond.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Uh, I-- I heardthat it does that.

- No, you haven'’t.

- You know--you know what?

We'’re officiallynot partners anymore.

- What are youtalking about?

- We checked out Daniel and hestill has the spider seal.

- What?

- Yeah, and it'’smade him so weak,

he didn'’t evenwanna fight Jax.

- Nah, that'’s just '’causehe didn'’t wanna lose.

- So, you think the sealis what'’s making Daniel weak?

- Probably.It does that to witches.

I always wonderedwhat would happen

if a Kanay seallanded on a human.

- I guess we'’llfinally find out.

[both chuckling]

- This is ground-breaking.

- What? We have to get it offof him before it'’s too late.

- Okay, we'’re there.

Let'’s see ifthey can be separated.

- You two, pushEmma'’s bed that way.

Desdemona, you and Iwill push Maddie'’s

the other way.

- I just had my nails done.

JAX: I'’ll do it, come on.

- It'’s working!

- Oh.

[knocking on door]

EMMA: Mia, it'’s Emma and Maddie.

MADDIE: Maddie and Emma.

EMMA: Who cares whose name is first?

Never mind.

Can we come down?

- Just a minute.

Okay, come in.

So, what are you doing here?

Come to gloat?

- No.

We came totell you that...

we know what you are.

- "What I am"?

You mean aNorth Floridian?

Well, you Miami peopleare like, prejudiced.

- Come on, Emma,it'’s obvious

she doesn'’t know whatyou'’re talking about.

Let'’s go.- We don'’t want any trouble.

Just take the crystals off usand take the seal off Daniel.

- Crystals?Seal?

I don'’t understand.

A seal like,"orf! orf!"

Orf! Orf! Orf! Orf!

- Wow...

that was like,a scary-good impression.

- You know what I mean.

The spider'’s making himreally sick.

- Daniel'’s sick?

- Yeah, and the longerthat spider'’s on him,

the worse he'’s gonna get.

- Spider bites can be bad.

I hope he gets better.

But I don'’t see whatit has to do with me.

- This is useless.

Come on, let'’s go...

pal.
