1 00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:19,844 "Maybe I should confess," thought Ben in a panic. 2 00:00:19,845 --> 00:00:27,574 Maybe if he told Mr. Freaky the truth, the principal could find a way to get Mayor Hubbletree to change his mind about the school. 3 00:00:27,575 --> 00:00:29,833 But Ben wasn't sure. 4 00:00:29,834 --> 00:00:34,708 He was new at Monster Academy and still learning how things worked there. 5 00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:40,286 Maybe he'd just better stay quiet for now. 6 00:00:40,287 --> 00:00:45,635 At lunch that day, Ben wanted to be alone to think. 7 00:00:45,636 --> 00:00:49,978 He found a table with two zombies and sat down. 8 00:00:49,979 --> 00:00:55,964 While the zombies stared and drooled silently on their food, Ben thought about his situation. 9 00:00:55,965 --> 00:00:59,259 Nearby he heard Winnie talking. 10 00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:05,713 "I can't believe Mayor Hubbletree is going to destroy Monster Academy," she said. 11 00:01:05,714 --> 00:01:10,253 "What's going to happen to us? Where will we go to school?" 12 00:01:10,254 --> 00:01:13,259 "Believe it!" a mummy replied. 13 00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:16,757 "And just wait until he finds the ghost who scared his son. 14 00:01:16,758 --> 00:01:21,544 That ghost is going to be in big trouble!" 15 00:01:21,545 --> 00:01:26,609 Ben looked over at Winnie. To his surprise, she smiled at him! 16 00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:32,253 Ordinarily Ben would have been thrilled, but today he had too much on his mind. 17 00:01:32,254 --> 00:01:35,834 "I have to find Mog," he thought. 18 00:01:35,835 --> 00:01:42,743 Once he talked to Mog, Ben could make a plan, figure out what to do. 19 00:01:42,744 --> 00:01:53,477 But Ben didn't have a chance to talk with Mog until the next morning in cooking class. 20 00:01:53,478 --> 00:01:59,162 Mrs. Hag assigned the two of them to make a rotten-egg omelet together. 21 00:01:59,163 --> 00:02:04,599 "Mog!" Ben growled as soon as they were alone at their cooking station. 22 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,458 "You got me into trouble!" 23 00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:13,324 "It wasn't my fault," said Mog. He cracked a rotten egg into a bowl. 24 00:02:13,325 --> 00:02:18,129 "What do you mean, it wasn't your fault?" Ben glared at the big monster. 25 00:02:18,130 --> 00:02:20,828 "I know you knocked over those garbage cans. 26 00:02:20,829 --> 00:02:23,844 You made a big loud sound just to get me in trouble. 27 00:02:23,845 --> 00:02:27,405 And you're probably the one who's flying the brooms!" 28 00:02:27,406 --> 00:02:31,124 "Monsters, quiet!" snapped Mrs. Hag. 29 00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:34,873 "You're supposed to be cooking, not talking." 30 00:02:34,874 --> 00:02:37,363 Ben lowered his voice. 31 00:02:37,364 --> 00:02:40,804 "You knew the big house with the tower was the mayor's mansion. 32 00:02:40,805 --> 00:02:43,847 I'll bet you never saw any witches' brooms on the roof. 33 00:02:43,848 --> 00:02:48,270 You just wanted to get me into trouble because Winnie is nice to me!" 34 00:02:48,271 --> 00:02:54,876 Mog's shoulders slumped. "Okay," he said. "You're right. 35 00:02:54,877 --> 00:02:57,402 I made the whole thing up to get you in trouble. 36 00:02:57,403 --> 00:03:01,954 The brooms were never on the roof. I knocked over the garbage cans. 37 00:03:01,955 --> 00:03:05,330 But I just wanted you to get in a little bit of trouble. 38 00:03:05,331 --> 00:03:08,960 I didn't know the whole thing would turn into such a big deal." 39 00:03:08,961 --> 00:03:13,314 Ben noticed Winnie glancing over at Mog as the monster spoke. 40 00:03:13,315 --> 00:03:17,277 "Well, it is a big deal!" Ben whispered furiously. 41 00:03:17,278 --> 00:03:21,369 "What's going to happen once they find out it was me who entered People Place? 42 00:03:21,370 --> 00:03:22,857 That was your plan. 43 00:03:22,858 --> 00:03:26,524 So you'd better help me find a way to fix the problem it caused!" 44 00:03:26,525 --> 00:03:31,770 Mog nodded slowly. "You're right, Ben," he said. 45 00:03:31,771 --> 00:03:36,743 "I'm really sorry. But I'm not the one who's taking the brooms, I swear." 46 00:03:36,744 --> 00:03:42,733 Ben nodded. For the first time, Mog actually seemed sincere. 47 00:03:42,734 --> 00:03:45,980 He was pretty sure Mog was telling the truth. 48 00:03:45,981 --> 00:03:51,208 "Meet me outside after school, by the flagpole," Mog said. 49 00:03:51,209 --> 00:03:56,683 "We'll come up with a plan together." 50 00:03:56,684 --> 00:04:02,245 After school Ben hurried outside. He was shocked by what he saw. 51 00:04:02,246 --> 00:04:06,211 Several large construction vehicles sat in front of the school. 52 00:04:06,212 --> 00:04:10,641 A big bulldozer rumbled loudly, puffing smoke. 53 00:04:10,642 --> 00:04:14,681 In front of the vehicles stood a man dressed in a dark suit. 54 00:04:14,682 --> 00:04:17,689 A few other people stood behind him. 55 00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:23,579 "That must be Mayor Hubbletree," thought Ben. 56 00:04:23,580 --> 00:04:28,279 Mr. Freaky ran out of the school, waving his arms frantically. 57 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:36,812 "Mayor Hubbletree!" cried the principal. "What are you doing?" 58 00:04:36,813 --> 00:04:41,299 "I told you yesterday, Freaky," said the mayor. 59 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,724 "I'm knocking this place to the ground!" 60 00:04:44,725 --> 00:04:49,397 "I didn't know you meant so soon!" said Mr. Freaky. 61 00:04:49,398 --> 00:04:52,691 "We need time to move our things out!" 62 00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:56,948 "The ghost who scared my little boy should have thought of that!" 63 00:04:56,949 --> 00:04:59,542 Mayor Hubbletree shot back. 64 00:04:59,543 --> 00:05:03,249 "Mayor, please," said Mr. Freaky. 65 00:05:03,250 --> 00:05:06,606 "Over two hundred monsters attend Monster Academy. 66 00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:11,696 Where will they go to school? Can't you at least wait until next week?" 67 00:05:11,697 --> 00:05:14,796 Mr. Freaky's lip began to tremble. 68 00:05:14,797 --> 00:05:18,170 Ben thought the principal was about to cry. 69 00:05:18,171 --> 00:05:22,481 The mayor sighed. "Oh, all right. 70 00:05:22,482 --> 00:05:28,559 I'll give you one more day. But that's all!" 71 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,942 Ben found Mog and rushed over to him. "Did you hear that?" asked Ben. 72 00:05:34,943 --> 00:05:39,794 "We only have one day. You need to think of an idea—fast!" 73 00:05:39,795 --> 00:05:47,226 Mog shook his head. "I can't think fast." 74 00:05:47,227 --> 00:05:51,599 Ben was about to say something, but Mog put up a claw. 75 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,984 "I can think slowly though," he said. "And I have an idea." 76 00:05:56,985 --> 00:05:59,941 "What is it?" asked Ben. 77 00:05:59,942 --> 00:06:04,586 "We should sneak back into People Place," said Mog. 78 00:06:04,587 --> 00:06:17,752 "What!" cried Ben. "Sneak back into People Place? That's your big idea?"
