1
00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:18,032
Ben stared at Mog in disbelief. Mog wanted to sneak back into People Place?
2
00:00:18,033 --> 00:00:20,965
"Let me finish," said Mog.
3
00:00:20,966 --> 00:00:27,028
"I think we should sneak into People Place, go to Mayor Hubbletree's house, and apologize."
4
00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:29,928
"What?" Ben's jaw dropped.
5
00:00:29,929 --> 00:00:34,103
He had imagined telling Mr. Freaky what had happened.
6
00:00:34,104 --> 00:00:39,420
But he'd never imagined speaking directly to the mayor!
7
00:00:39,421 --> 00:00:43,051
"It's the right thing to do," Mog went on.
8
00:00:43,052 --> 00:00:48,220
"I'll tell him the truth. And I'll explain that I tricked you."
9
00:00:48,221 --> 00:00:54,119
Just then Winnie stepped out from the crowd, her eyes flashing with anger.
10
00:00:54,120 --> 00:01:00,468
"I heard that, Mog! It's your fault Monster Academy is going to be destroyed!"
11
00:01:00,469 --> 00:01:06,016
Mog gulped. "I—I didn't mean to—"
12
00:01:06,017 --> 00:01:08,721
"We're through!" said Winnie.
13
00:01:08,722 --> 00:01:12,946
"Even if the school was still having the dance, I wouldn't go with you.
14
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:16,623
Not if you were the last monster in Monsterville!"
15
00:01:16,624 --> 00:01:19,621
She spun around and walked away.
16
00:01:19,622 --> 00:01:22,535
Mog stared after her and sighed.
17
00:01:22,536 --> 00:01:28,979
"We'd better do something fast," he murmured.
18
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:39,042
That evening Ben and Mog met by the fence between Monsterville and People Place.
19
00:01:39,043 --> 00:01:44,116
Mog couldn't fly, so Ben waited while he climbed the fence.
20
00:01:44,117 --> 00:01:47,822
Halfway over, Mog let out a yelp.
21
00:01:47,823 --> 00:01:52,108
"Uh-oh," said Mog. "I'm stuck!"
22
00:01:52,109 --> 00:01:55,038
"How are you stuck?" said Ben.
23
00:01:55,039 --> 00:02:00,771
"My pants are caught on a nail," said Mog. "Hold on a second."
24
00:02:00,772 --> 00:02:05,403
The monster tried to lift himself to free his pants, but he slipped.
25
00:02:05,404 --> 00:02:06,260
Rip!
26
00:02:06,261 --> 00:02:11,277
Ben tried not to laugh as Mog hung from the nail by his ripped pants.
27
00:02:11,278 --> 00:02:16,041
"Ugh!" cried Mog. "This is—"
28
00:02:16,042 --> 00:02:21,570
Rip! Mog's pants ripped some more, and then he fell to the ground.
29
00:02:21,571 --> 00:02:23,103
"Ouch!"
30
00:02:23,104 --> 00:02:26,016
"Are you okay?" asked Ben.
31
00:02:26,017 --> 00:02:30,900
Mog rubbed his head. "Yeah, I'm okay."
32
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:40,157
He stood up, and his pants fell down. "Aw, man! My pants are ruined!"
33
00:02:40,158 --> 00:02:45,491
"Never mind that now," said Ben. "Let's just get this over with."
34
00:02:45,492 --> 00:02:48,575
Ben and Mog hurried toward the mayor's house.
35
00:02:48,576 --> 00:02:52,812
Mog had to hold up his pants as he ran.
36
00:02:52,813 --> 00:02:58,644
The sun was setting, and the streetlights were beginning to flicker on.
37
00:02:58,645 --> 00:03:03,143
Soon Ben and Mog were standing in front of the mayor's house.
38
00:03:03,144 --> 00:03:06,324
"What do we do now?" asked Ben.
39
00:03:06,325 --> 00:03:10,348
"We go up to the door and knock," said Mog.
40
00:03:10,349 --> 00:03:15,326
Ben gulped. "You first," he said.
41
00:03:15,327 --> 00:03:19,669
They went to the door, and Mog knocked with one hand.
42
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:22,883
The other hand was still holding up his pants.
43
00:03:22,884 --> 00:03:27,987
Ben's heart beat faster as he heard heavy footsteps getting closer.
44
00:03:27,988 --> 00:03:33,513
The door finally opened, and Mayor Hubbletree was standing there.
45
00:03:33,514 --> 00:03:38,968
"Monsters!" cried the mayor. "What are you doing here?"
46
00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:44,547
"Hello, s-sir," Ben stammered. "We, uh—"
47
00:03:44,548 --> 00:03:48,271
"Monsters?" cried a little boy's voice.
48
00:03:48,272 --> 00:03:52,058
Ben gulped as the mayor's son ran to the doorway.
49
00:03:52,059 --> 00:03:58,158
"Oh no!" thought Ben. "He'll see us and get scared all over again!"
50
00:03:58,159 --> 00:03:59,895
It was too late.
51
00:03:59,896 --> 00:04:04,957
The boy stood in the doorway and stared, wide-eyed, at Mog and Ben.
52
00:04:04,958 --> 00:04:08,075
He looked like he was going to scream.
53
00:04:08,076 --> 00:04:12,623
Mog held up his hands and said, "Don't be scared!"
54
00:04:12,624 --> 00:04:18,519
Instantly his pants fell down.
55
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,059
"Ha-ha!" The boy laughed hysterically.
56
00:04:24,060 --> 00:04:28,165
Mog's face turned red as he quickly pulled his pants back up.
57
00:04:28,166 --> 00:04:30,799
"Sorry about that, I—"
58
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,497
"That's funny!" said the boy. "Ha-ha!"
59
00:04:36,498 --> 00:04:39,344
Mayor Hubbletree had been frowning.
60
00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:43,506
But as he watched his son laugh, his frown faded.
61
00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:50,432
Soon he was smiling. Then he was laughing.
62
00:04:50,433 --> 00:04:54,005
Ben looked from the boy to the mayor to Mog.
63
00:04:54,006 --> 00:04:59,101
Despite being embarrassed, Mog grinned. "Ha-ha!"
64
00:04:59,102 --> 00:05:08,780
Then Ben laughed too.
65
00:05:08,781 --> 00:05:14,842
The next day at school, Ben heard lots of kids talking about him and Mog.
66
00:05:14,843 --> 00:05:21,312
"I heard Mog and Ben went to Mayor Hubbletree's house last night," said a ghoul.
67
00:05:21,313 --> 00:05:27,555
"Yeah," said a troll. "I heard Mog's pants fell down."
68
00:05:27,556 --> 00:05:32,661
"It's a good thing they did," said a purple monster.
69
00:05:32,662 --> 00:05:35,307
"The mayor's son thought it was funny.
70
00:05:35,308 --> 00:05:38,471
The mayor isn't angry at monsters anymore."
71
00:05:38,472 --> 00:05:45,688
A mummy nodded. "Yep. And now he's no longer planning on destroying Monster Academy."
72
00:05:45,689 --> 00:05:52,540
Ben also overheard that Mayor Hubbletree wasn't just going to leave Monster Academy alone.
73
00:05:52,541 --> 00:05:58,778
"I'd like to see monsters and people get along," the mayor had told Mr. Freaky.
74
00:05:58,779 --> 00:06:03,265
"Maybe our students could take a field trip to Monster Academy."
75
00:06:03,266 --> 00:06:07,408
"That would be wonderful," said Mr. Freaky.
76
00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:12,180
"And I'm sure our monsters would love to see People Place."
77
00:06:12,181 --> 00:06:17,788
Ben was floating along the school hallway as monsters gathered around to congratulate him.
78
00:06:17,789 --> 00:06:21,259
"Way to go, Ben " shouted a ghoul.
79
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:25,640
"Thanks," said Ben. "It was really Mog's—"
80
00:06:25,641 --> 00:06:30,677
Suddenly—crash! A broomstick smashed through a wall!
81
00:06:30,678 --> 00:06:33,407
Mr. Freaky rushed into the hallway.
82
00:06:33,408 --> 00:06:38,394
He moaned when he saw the broomstick in the wall.
83
00:06:38,395 --> 00:06:42,151
"Who is doing this? It has to stop!"
84
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:47,458
Ben cringed. He knew now it wasn't Mog stealing the brooms.
85
00:06:47,459 --> 00:06:53,668
So there was only one other suspect—Winnie.
