1
00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:15,813
Ben stared at Waldo, who was now a cow.
2
00:00:15,814 --> 00:00:22,306
Meanwhile, the pink monster ran back toward the soccer field.
3
00:00:22,307 --> 00:00:31,724
The teachers were still trying to catch the spider.
4
00:00:31,725 --> 00:00:37,991
"Whoa!" shouted Mr. Freaky as the pink monster accidentally knocked him over.
5
00:00:37,992 --> 00:00:40,704
Mr. Freaky climbed back to his feet.
6
00:00:40,705 --> 00:00:45,042
Then—shloomp! Ben floated straight through the principal.
7
00:00:45,043 --> 00:00:49,792
"Ouch!" cried Mr. Freaky. "What's going on here?"
8
00:00:49,793 --> 00:00:53,921
"That pink monster is the one who's trying to ruin today's field trip!"
9
00:00:53,922 --> 00:00:56,227
Ben shouted over his shoulder.
10
00:00:56,228 --> 00:01:01,409
"Oh no!" cried the principal. "We have to catch her!"
11
00:01:01,410 --> 00:01:06,792
Mr. Freaky ran after the monster, and other teachers joined in the chase.
12
00:01:06,793 --> 00:01:10,707
Mr. Gwarg ran fast and tried to grab the monster.
13
00:01:10,708 --> 00:01:17,144
Suddenly—poof! There was a puff of smoke, and Mr. Gwarg was blown backward.
14
00:01:17,145 --> 00:01:21,075
The monster turned blue and got away.
15
00:01:21,076 --> 00:01:28,147
Miss Bungle had nearly grabbed the monster's hood when bright light flashed and the monster disappeared.
16
00:01:28,148 --> 00:01:33,479
When the monster reappeared farther down the field, she was a green ogre.
17
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,150
"This is a disaster!" cried Mr. Freaky.
18
00:01:38,151 --> 00:01:42,063
Just then Ben heard the sound of rushing wind.
19
00:01:42,064 --> 00:01:47,281
He looked up and saw Winnie on her broom, ripping through the sky like a rocket.
20
00:01:47,282 --> 00:01:51,618
The witch weaved in and out of the crowd and toward the spider.
21
00:01:51,619 --> 00:01:56,122
The spider shot webs at Winnie, but she caught them with one hand.
22
00:01:56,123 --> 00:02:02,821
She flew in a circle around the spider, letting one strand of web wrap around the creature's legs.
23
00:02:02,822 --> 00:02:06,331
The spider fell over, unable to move.
24
00:02:06,332 --> 00:02:11,380
Next Winnie shot across the field, toward the green ogre.
25
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:15,975
The ogre tried to run away, but Winnie flew like lightning.
26
00:02:15,976 --> 00:02:23,019
She flung the web and the ogre was caught.
27
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:27,479
"Excellent flying, Winnie!" said Miss Bungle.
28
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,340
Winnie beamed.
29
00:02:29,341 --> 00:02:35,031
Everybody ran over to the ogre.
30
00:02:35,032 --> 00:02:39,869
Ben noticed that she was starting to change shape again. She grew thinner.
31
00:02:39,870 --> 00:02:44,022
Long black hair grew from her head.
32
00:02:44,023 --> 00:02:46,988
Everybody gasped.
33
00:02:46,989 --> 00:02:49,677
"Deb!" cried Mog.
34
00:02:49,678 --> 00:02:55,205
"Deb?" Mr. Freaky stared at her.
35
00:02:55,206 --> 00:03:00,837
"I don't understand. Why were you trying to ruin the people's visit?"
36
00:03:00,838 --> 00:03:06,033
Deb hung her head. "I wasn't trying to ruin it.
37
00:03:06,034 --> 00:03:10,224
But when the humans arrived, I started feeling weird.
38
00:03:10,225 --> 00:03:15,825
Then strange magic kept happening.
39
00:03:15,826 --> 00:03:20,936
I tried to talk to Waldo in the lab, but he didn't even recognize me.
40
00:03:20,937 --> 00:03:26,264
When I saw my reflection, I knew why."
41
00:03:26,265 --> 00:03:30,093
"That human was you?" said Waldo.
42
00:03:30,094 --> 00:03:35,811
Deb nodded. "I turned back into myself for a while.
43
00:03:35,812 --> 00:03:40,511
But then I turned into a bunch of other monsters."
44
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:47,237
She looked at Mrs. Germ. "Why is this happening to me?"
45
00:03:47,238 --> 00:03:52,116
Mrs. Germ held out a hand. "Come to my office, dear.
46
00:03:52,117 --> 00:04:06,901
We'll get this all sorted out."
47
00:04:06,902 --> 00:04:13,253
The next day Ben was sitting with his friends at lunch.
48
00:04:13,254 --> 00:04:15,633
Mog and Deb were there.
49
00:04:15,634 --> 00:04:20,858
Gaby and Waldo were there too. Waldo wasn't a cow anymore.
50
00:04:20,859 --> 00:04:25,064
"Luckily the spell didn't last long," said the wizard.
51
00:04:25,065 --> 00:04:29,644
"I was back to normal by dinner."
52
00:04:29,645 --> 00:04:33,703
Winnie came over to the table and sat down.
53
00:04:33,704 --> 00:04:37,327
"When are you retaking your test?" Ben asked her.
54
00:04:37,328 --> 00:04:42,018
Winnie shook her head. "I'm not retaking the test."
55
00:04:42,019 --> 00:04:46,677
"What?" Ben was alarmed. "Why aren't you retaking it?"
56
00:04:46,678 --> 00:04:54,183
Winnie grinned. "Miss Bungle said that my flying yesterday was the best she's ever seen.
57
00:04:54,184 --> 00:04:57,442
I earned my broom flying license!"
58
00:04:57,443 --> 00:05:03,004
"Awesome!" said Ben. Waldo gave her a high five.
59
00:05:03,005 --> 00:05:05,037
"I have some news too."
60
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:09,586
Deb, who'd been sitting silently with the group, suddenly spoke up.
61
00:05:09,587 --> 00:05:12,148
They all looked at her.
62
00:05:12,149 --> 00:05:17,724
Deb's voice shook a little. "I found out yesterday that I'm not a ghoul.
63
00:05:17,725 --> 00:05:22,897
I'm a doppelganger. I was adopted when I was really young.
64
00:05:22,898 --> 00:05:28,206
Since everyone else in my family is a ghoul, I took on that form at first.
65
00:05:28,207 --> 00:05:31,436
My parents had no idea either."
66
00:05:31,437 --> 00:05:36,616
"Wow," Winnie murmured softly. "That's big."
67
00:05:36,617 --> 00:05:41,538
"You never changed form until yesterday?" asked Waldo.
68
00:05:41,539 --> 00:05:46,556
"Nope," said Deb. "I didn't understand what was happening.
69
00:05:46,557 --> 00:05:51,397
I also have magic powers. They kept going crazy.
70
00:05:51,398 --> 00:05:55,017
I'm so sorry about everything that happened."
71
00:05:55,018 --> 00:05:58,482
"It sounds pretty scary," Ben said.
72
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:02,407
He was always worried about learning how to float through objects.
73
00:06:02,408 --> 00:06:08,459
But his problem seemed silly compared to what Deb had gone through the day before.
74
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:11,121
Deb was still explaining things.
75
00:06:11,122 --> 00:06:15,716
"Mrs. Germ thinks that being close to the humans caused my change.
76
00:06:15,717 --> 00:06:20,136
Doppelgangers like to make themselves look like humans.
77
00:06:20,137 --> 00:06:28,195
So when I was near humans for the first time yesterday, everything started happening."
78
00:06:28,196 --> 00:06:31,651
She looked like she might start crying.
79
00:06:31,652 --> 00:06:35,101
"It doesn't matter," Mog said quickly.
80
00:06:35,102 --> 00:06:39,622
"Ghoul, doppelganger . . . Either way, you're perfect, Deb.
81
00:06:39,623 --> 00:06:43,283
You're so smart and . . ."
82
00:06:43,284 --> 00:06:50,036
"Oh boy," Ben whispered to Winnie as Mog went on and on about how great Deb was.
83
00:06:50,037 --> 00:06:52,896
"I know." Winnie grinned at Ben.
84
00:06:52,897 --> 00:06:56,484
"It sounds like somebody is totally in love again!"
85
00:06:56,485 --> 00:07:14,672
"Yeah," Ben thought, gazing into Winnie's pretty green eyes. "I am."
