1 00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:20,165 To Ben's relief, Waldo's love spell didn't last long. 2 00:00:20,166 --> 00:00:24,760 Soon everyone stopped fighting and arguing over Waldo. 3 00:00:24,761 --> 00:00:28,522 "Students!" Mr. Freaky hurried down the hallway. 4 00:00:28,523 --> 00:00:33,101 "Why are you all hanging around the hallway? Get to class!" 5 00:00:33,102 --> 00:00:38,426 As the monsters started making their way back to their classrooms, Ben glanced at Waldo. 6 00:00:38,427 --> 00:00:41,148 The wizard was scratching his head. 7 00:00:41,149 --> 00:00:46,013 "I wonder why the love spell wore off so quickly. Maybe I did it wrong." 8 00:00:46,014 --> 00:00:50,635 "Who cares why?" asked Ben. "Just be happy that it did. 9 00:00:50,636 --> 00:00:58,158 Otherwise, you'd be married to everyone at Monster Academy by now!" 10 00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:01,491 "Let's go back to the library," said Waldo. 11 00:01:01,492 --> 00:01:04,285 "I'm sure I can come up with another spell." 12 00:01:04,286 --> 00:01:09,975 "Um . . . No thanks." So far Waldo's magic wasn't much help. 13 00:01:09,976 --> 00:01:16,508 "Maybe later," Ben added quickly. "Right now I'd better get to class." 14 00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:22,350 He floated off, absentmindedly fingering the tiny toothlike thing in his pocket. 15 00:01:22,351 --> 00:01:28,549 "Now what?" Ben thought. Maybe he needed to make a list of suspects. 16 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:35,636 He didn't really know many kids at Monster Academy, but already one of them was high on his list—Mog. 17 00:01:35,637 --> 00:01:40,485 Winnie had said Mog was nice, but he seemed like a troublemaker to Ben. 18 00:01:40,486 --> 00:01:46,548 So maybe Mog was the one causing all the trouble with the brooms. 19 00:01:46,549 --> 00:01:55,445 The next day at lunch, Mr. Freaky came into the cafeteria, looking even more nervous than usual. 20 00:01:55,446 --> 00:02:00,389 His three noses were wiggling wildly. 21 00:02:00,390 --> 00:02:04,882 "Everything is totally out of control!" he cried. 22 00:02:04,883 --> 00:02:08,645 "Today two brooms are missing from the broom-flying classroom. 23 00:02:08,646 --> 00:02:11,542 And we can't find them anywhere!" 24 00:02:11,543 --> 00:02:15,209 Ben shot a look at Mog, who was sitting with Winnie. 25 00:02:15,210 --> 00:02:18,185 But the monster wasn't looking his way. 26 00:02:18,186 --> 00:02:24,328 The broom-flying teacher, Miss Bungle, was on lunch duty. 27 00:02:24,329 --> 00:02:30,455 "Try not to get your noses in an uproar, Mr. Freaky," said Miss Bungle. 28 00:02:30,456 --> 00:02:35,598 "You know what happens then—they all get stuffed up." 29 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:43,328 "How can I help it when someone keeps flying the brooms and crashing them all over school?" cried Mr. Freaky. 30 00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:54,400 "It's a very dangerous situation!" He stopped to blow his noses. 31 00:02:54,401 --> 00:03:00,616 "Until this problem is solved, I don't want to see anyone near the broom-flying classroom." 32 00:03:00,617 --> 00:03:03,219 Ben glanced at Mog again. 33 00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:08,894 Winnie was laughing at something the big monster was saying. 34 00:03:08,895 --> 00:03:16,413 Suddenly Ben remembered that she'd come into the broom-flying classroom the day before. What was she—? 35 00:03:16,414 --> 00:03:20,667 Abruptly, Winnie looked up and stared straight back at him. 36 00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:23,627 Ben quickly looked back down at his lunch tray. 37 00:03:23,628 --> 00:03:26,611 He hoped she hadn't been reading his mind again. 38 00:03:26,612 --> 00:03:33,674 Then she'd know all about his suspicions! 39 00:03:33,675 --> 00:03:40,460 That night Ben lay in bed, still thinking about Winnie and everything going on at Monster Academy. 40 00:03:40,461 --> 00:03:45,635 The more he thought about the crashing brooms, the more suspicious he was of Mog. 41 00:03:45,636 --> 00:03:49,230 "It can't be Winnie," he told himself. 42 00:03:49,231 --> 00:03:55,841 She was too nice. And besides, there was no reason for her to cause trouble. 43 00:03:55,842 --> 00:03:59,317 But Mog, meanwhile, was mean and— 44 00:03:59,318 --> 00:04:03,158 "Whoo!" moaned Sid. 45 00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:08,110 "Sid!" Ben snapped. He looked over at his younger brother. 46 00:04:08,111 --> 00:04:12,483 They had to keep the bedroom totally dark or Sid got scared. 47 00:04:12,484 --> 00:04:14,678 Ben didn't mind the dark. 48 00:04:14,679 --> 00:04:19,995 But tonight Sid was practicing his moaning, which made it hard for Ben to think. 49 00:04:19,996 --> 00:04:27,352 "Whoo!" moaned Sid again. He was even louder this time. 50 00:04:27,353 --> 00:04:32,812 "Sid, be quiet!" said Ben. "I'm trying to concentrate." 51 00:04:32,813 --> 00:04:36,717 "Well, I'm trying to moan," said Sid. 52 00:04:36,718 --> 00:04:41,550 "I want to be really good at it. Whoo!" 53 00:04:41,551 --> 00:04:46,166 Ben put his pillow over his head to muffle the sound. 54 00:04:46,167 --> 00:04:50,404 Eventually, Sid stopped moaning and fell asleep. 55 00:04:50,405 --> 00:04:55,380 Ben's parents had gone to bed too, so at last the house was quiet. 56 00:04:55,381 --> 00:05:00,372 "Proof," thought Ben. "I need to find some proof." 57 00:05:00,373 --> 00:05:03,396 Before long Ben had formed a plan. 58 00:05:03,397 --> 00:05:08,293 He floated over to the window and quietly slid it open. 59 00:05:08,294 --> 00:05:13,809 Careful not to wake Sid, he sailed out into the moonlit night. 60 00:05:13,810 --> 00:05:17,253 Ben soared high above the streets of Monsterville. 61 00:05:17,254 --> 00:05:23,110 Bats flew silently by, and the moon cast an eerie glow on the rooftops. 62 00:05:23,111 --> 00:05:27,880 Ben looked nervously around. He hoped he didn't get caught. 63 00:05:27,881 --> 00:05:31,483 Soon he was flying over Monster Academy. 64 00:05:31,484 --> 00:05:37,261 The building was dark and empty. Ben knew he wouldn't be able to go inside. 65 00:05:37,262 --> 00:05:43,182 He flew around the soccer field, looking for signs of the two missing magic brooms. 66 00:05:43,183 --> 00:05:49,100 He checked the trash area and the bike rack, where Mog seemed to hang out a lot. 67 00:05:49,101 --> 00:05:53,856 But there were no clues anywhere, as far as Ben could tell. 68 00:05:53,857 --> 00:06:04,425 After that, Ben flew all around Monsterville, peering into alleyways, parks, and backyards as he looked for the missing brooms. 69 00:06:04,426 --> 00:06:09,147 He saw a few brooms, but none of them was from Monster Academy. 70 00:06:09,148 --> 00:06:15,980 He headed toward Mog's neighborhood, which was close to the fence that separated Monsterville from People Place. 71 00:06:15,981 --> 00:06:19,895 Suddenly a loud, angry voice thundered below him. 72 00:06:19,896 --> 00:06:24,759 "What do you think you're doing here?"
