1
00:00:12,006 --> 00:00:16,321
Ben stared at the hot sauce overflowing the pot.

2
00:00:16,322 --> 00:00:19,642
"Why is the hot sauce growing?" he cried.

3
00:00:19,643 --> 00:00:24,339
Waldo was fumbling with his glasses.

4
00:00:24,340 --> 00:00:28,899
He jumped back as some hot sauce oozed onto his shoe.

5
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:31,772
"I—I don't know!" the wizard said.

6
00:00:31,773 --> 00:00:35,501
He put his glasses on and picked up the jar of enhancer.

7
00:00:35,502 --> 00:00:39,464
He peered at the label and then slapped himself on the forehead.

8
00:00:39,465 --> 00:00:44,323
"This isn't enhancer! It's expander."

9
00:00:44,324 --> 00:00:47,821
"What does expander do?" Ben asked.

10
00:00:47,822 --> 00:00:50,562
"What do you think it does?" Waldo said.

11
00:00:50,563 --> 00:00:54,780
"It expands things—it makes them bigger!"

12
00:00:54,781 --> 00:01:05,062
"Ugh." Ben watched helplessly as the sauce flowed across the floor toward a cabinet.

13
00:01:05,063 --> 00:01:07,003
"What are we going to do?"

14
00:01:07,004 --> 00:01:13,155
Waldo sighed. "It'll stop in a few minutes—when the pot is empty."

15
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:19,165
Waldo was right. Soon the sauce stopped expanding.

16
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:23,223
Ben grabbed some rags.

17
00:01:23,224 --> 00:01:27,191
"We'd better clean up this mess."

18
00:01:27,192 --> 00:01:37,831
Waldo found a mop, and ten minutes later the floor was clean.

19
00:01:37,848 --> 00:01:45,719
Waldo ladled out some hot sauce from the pot and poured it into a small bottle.

20
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,909
He handed it to Ben.

21
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:51,909
"Put this in your food tomorrow in Cooking class," the wizard said.

22
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:56,094
"By the time the bell rings, you'll be out of the cooking competition.

23
00:01:56,095 --> 00:01:59,554
Now we have just one more thing to do."

24
00:01:59,555 --> 00:02:02,281
"We're not done?" Ben asked.

25
00:02:02,282 --> 00:02:04,451
"Nope," Waldo said.

26
00:02:04,452 --> 00:02:10,176
"You need a backup plan, just in case Mr. Icky likes spicy food."

27
00:02:10,177 --> 00:02:15,281
He pulled his large spell book out of his backpack.

28
00:02:15,282 --> 00:02:19,959
"What kind of spell are you looking for?" Ben asked.

29
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,228
"How about a spell that makes your food explode?"

30
00:02:25,229 --> 00:02:30,153
"That won't work," Ben said. "Everyone loves exploding food."

31
00:02:30,154 --> 00:02:33,264
"People don't," Waldo said.

32
00:02:33,265 --> 00:02:38,198
"Mayor Hubbletree was furious when those pizzas exploded, remember?"

33
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,268
Ben shrugged. "But Mr. Icky won't mind that.

34
00:02:42,269 --> 00:02:48,879
I need something that will convince him I'm not good enough to be on <font color="#ffff00"><i>Kids' Kitchen Showdown</i></font>."

35
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,066
"Right." Waldo flipped through more pages.

36
00:02:53,067 --> 00:02:59,687
"Here's a good one. With this spell, any food you touch will disappear."

37
00:02:59,688 --> 00:03:01,894
"That's no good," Ben said.

38
00:03:01,895 --> 00:03:05,593
"I need to cook <font color="#ffff00"><i>bad</i></font> food. Not <font color="#ffff00"><i>no</i></font> food."

39
00:03:05,594 --> 00:03:10,689
"Hmm." Waldo examined another page in his book.

40
00:03:10,690 --> 00:03:15,182
"What if everything you cooked smelled like rotting garbage?"

41
00:03:15,183 --> 00:03:18,823
"What would be so bad about that?" Ben asked.

42
00:03:18,824 --> 00:03:21,158
"I guess nothing," Waldo said.

43
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,307
He turned another page and bent down over his book.

44
00:03:24,308 --> 00:03:29,574
"Oh, this would be perfect. Rotting fish!"

45
00:03:29,575 --> 00:03:34,492
"Eww," Ben said. "That's disgusting."

46
00:03:34,493 --> 00:03:37,284
"It sure is," Waldo agreed.

47
00:03:37,285 --> 00:03:41,384
"Everyone hates the smell of rotting fish—even monsters."

48
00:03:41,385 --> 00:03:45,326
Ben nodded. "Let's do it."

49
00:03:45,327 --> 00:03:50,310
Waldo studied the spell for a moment, quietly murmuring the words.

50
00:03:50,311 --> 00:03:52,591
Finally he stood up.

51
00:03:52,592 --> 00:03:55,557
He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Ben.

52
00:03:55,558 --> 00:04:01,928
As Waldo muttered the magical words, green light flashed from his wand.

53
00:04:01,929 --> 00:04:09,356
Ben felt a strange, tingling sensation. "Did it work?"

54
00:04:09,357 --> 00:04:11,429
"Probably," Waldo said.

55
00:04:11,430 --> 00:04:16,177
"But we won't know until you cook some—" Waldo sniffed.

56
00:04:16,178 --> 00:04:18,772
"Ugh! What's that smell?"

57
00:04:18,773 --> 00:04:24,544
Ben sniffed. "I think it's me."

58
00:04:24,545 --> 00:04:27,707
He smelled his arm.

59
00:04:27,708 --> 00:04:32,450
"Oh no! It is me! I smell like rotting fish!

60
00:04:32,451 --> 00:04:37,872
You messed up the spell—you made <font color="#ffff00"><i>me</i></font> smell like rotting fish!"

61
00:04:37,873 --> 00:04:43,487
"Oops." Waldo looked in his spell book. "I wonder what I did wrong."

62
00:04:43,488 --> 00:04:46,954
Just then Mr. Freaky made an announcement.

63
00:04:46,955 --> 00:04:50,242
"Mr. Bog is going to lock the doors in ten minutes.

64
00:04:50,243 --> 00:04:54,403
All students must leave the building at once."

65
00:04:54,404 --> 00:05:00,911
Ben sighed. "We have to go home, Waldo."

66
00:05:00,912 --> 00:05:07,076
As Ben floated into the corridor, a few monsters immediately cleared out of his way.

67
00:05:07,077 --> 00:05:09,525
"Yuck!" a mummy said.

68
00:05:09,526 --> 00:05:14,851
A ghoul covered her nose. "What smells so bad?"

69
00:05:14,852 --> 00:05:17,643
A fish monster didn't mind the smell though.

70
00:05:17,644 --> 00:05:21,401
"Mmm! It smells like my cousin's house!"

71
00:05:21,402 --> 00:05:25,474
Ben was glad that Winnie wasn't anywhere in sight.

72
00:05:25,475 --> 00:05:29,757
But as he hurried toward an exit, he spotted her.

73
00:05:29,758 --> 00:05:41,391
She must have stayed after school for broom-flying practice.

74
00:05:41,392 --> 00:05:44,181
"Ben!" Winnie ran to catch up to him.

75
00:05:44,182 --> 00:05:47,983
When she reached him, she covered her nose.

76
00:05:47,984 --> 00:05:50,874
"What's that horrible smell?"

77
00:05:50,875 --> 00:05:53,500
"It's me," Ben blurted out.

78
00:05:53,501 --> 00:05:57,759
"Waldo was trying to cast a spell, but he didn't do it right."

79
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,177
"What kind of spell?"

80
00:06:00,178 --> 00:06:07,886
Ben watched the expression on Winnie's face change as he explained about the hot sauce and the rotten fish spell.

81
00:06:07,887 --> 00:06:11,044
Right away he knew she didn't approve.

82
00:06:11,045 --> 00:06:13,375
"I can't believe you'd do that, Ben!

83
00:06:13,376 --> 00:06:17,533
Do you know how many kids would love to be on that show?

84
00:06:17,534 --> 00:06:19,796
Monsters are jealous of you.

85
00:06:19,797 --> 00:06:24,274
And here you are, trying to sabotage yourself.

86
00:06:24,275 --> 00:06:26,550
You should be ashamed!"

87
00:06:26,551 --> 00:06:31,452
Ben sighed, staring down at the ground.

88
00:06:31,453 --> 00:06:36,111
"Mr. Icky picked you for a reason," Winnie went on.

89
00:06:36,112 --> 00:06:39,905
"You have to compete. It's the right thing to do."

90
00:06:39,906 --> 00:06:46,868
Ben sighed. "You're right, Winnie. I'll do the show."

91
00:06:46,869 --> 00:06:49,566
Winnie smiled. "Good!"

92
00:06:49,567 --> 00:07:02,602
Ben sniffed. "But right now I need to get home and take a shower!"
