1
00:00:12,005 --> 00:00:22,466
"Uh . . ." Ben looked at Gaby and Mog, and then at Waldo and Winnie.

2
00:00:22,467 --> 00:00:27,123
Gaby was his best friend, but Winnie was his girlfriend.

3
00:00:27,124 --> 00:00:30,619
Choosing teams was not going to be easy.

4
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:35,589
Ben stared down at his half-eaten toad toes.

5
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:39,317
"I'll help everybody," he blurted out.

6
00:00:39,318 --> 00:00:42,235
"It's just a friendly bet anyway."

7
00:00:42,236 --> 00:00:46,748
"Yeah,"  Mog said. "It's like a scavenger hunt.

8
00:00:46,749 --> 00:00:49,862
We'll see who finds the treasure first."

9
00:00:49,863 --> 00:00:53,262
"It's going to be us!" Gaby said, grinning.

10
00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:55,132
Then she looked at Ben.

11
00:00:55,133 --> 00:00:58,299
"But no sharing team secrets, okay, Ben?"

12
00:00:58,300 --> 00:01:02,204
Ben held up his hands. "No problem."

13
00:01:02,205 --> 00:01:06,028
"Who are you going to help first, Ben?" Winnie asked.

14
00:01:06,029 --> 00:01:10,329
"I'll decide after I finish my lunch," Ben said quickly.

15
00:01:10,330 --> 00:01:14,254
"We have study hall after lunch," Gaby said to Mog.

16
00:01:14,255 --> 00:01:16,939
"Let's go to the library now and get started.

17
00:01:16,940 --> 00:01:21,398
We can read about Monsterville history—that's the best place to start."

18
00:01:21,399 --> 00:01:26,713
"Okay," Mog said.

19
00:01:26,714 --> 00:01:31,867
The two of them returned their trays to the kitchen and hurried off to the library.

20
00:01:31,868 --> 00:01:34,496
Winnie stood up. "Come on, Waldo.

21
00:01:34,497 --> 00:01:36,105
We have to get started too.

22
00:01:36,106 --> 00:01:40,153
Let's go to the lab and figure out a spell.

23
00:01:40,154 --> 00:01:44,182
See you later, Ben."

24
00:01:44,183 --> 00:01:48,022
Ben sighed as the two of them left.

25
00:01:48,023 --> 00:01:52,303
"This situation stinks," he thought.

26
00:01:52,304 --> 00:01:58,499
Somebody was bound to get mad at him.

27
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:03,484
Finally he decided he wasn't hungry anymore, so he picked up his tray.

28
00:02:03,485 --> 00:02:07,763
As he headed toward the garbage can, a blob waved to him.

29
00:02:07,764 --> 00:02:13,557
"Hey, Ben, are you going to eat those toad toes? I'm really hungry today."

30
00:02:13,558 --> 00:02:16,531
"Nope. You can have them," Ben said.

31
00:02:16,532 --> 00:02:20,046
"Just return my tray to the kitchen when you're done, okay?"

32
00:02:20,047 --> 00:02:27,501
"Don't worry about that," the blob said. "I'll eat the tray too!"

33
00:02:27,502 --> 00:02:30,934
"Great," Ben said. But he didn't feel great.

34
00:02:30,935 --> 00:02:36,019
If only Gaby and Waldo hadn't made this stupid bet!

35
00:02:36,027 --> 00:02:40,937
A few minutes later, Ben floated through the door of the science lab.

36
00:02:40,938 --> 00:02:43,402
"How's it going in here?" he said.

37
00:02:43,403 --> 00:02:45,867
Winnie looked up and smiled.

38
00:02:45,868 --> 00:02:53,147
She was stirring a potion in a big cauldron as Waldo handed her some ingredients.

39
00:02:53,148 --> 00:02:58,641
The liquid inside the pot glowed green as Winnie mixed it.

40
00:02:58,642 --> 00:03:02,507
"We're brewing a location spell," she said.

41
00:03:02,508 --> 00:03:05,027
"Can I help?" Ben asked.

42
00:03:05,028 --> 00:03:10,977
"Sure." Winnie gestured toward some supplies on a high shelf.

43
00:03:10,978 --> 00:03:22,363
"Can you hand Waldo that big sack of lizard scales?"

44
00:03:22,364 --> 00:03:26,476
"The green ones or the gold ones?" Ben asked.

45
00:03:26,477 --> 00:03:31,373
"Gold," Waldo said. "As in <font color="#ffff00"><i>gold</i></font> treasure."

46
00:03:31,374 --> 00:03:36,306
"Got it." Ben had to use both hands to get the heavy sack off the shelf.

47
00:03:36,307 --> 00:03:41,321
He lowered it and then handed the sack to Waldo.

48
00:03:41,322 --> 00:03:44,340
"Ah-choo!" Waldo sneezed.

49
00:03:44,341 --> 00:03:51,256
Ben and Winnie immediately braced themselves, but this time nothing happened.

50
00:03:51,257 --> 00:03:56,666
Waldo grinned. "I think my cold is finally getting better!"

51
00:03:56,667 --> 00:04:00,917
He tipped the sack and started to pour the lizard scales into the cauldron.

52
00:04:00,918 --> 00:04:04,086
Suddenly Winnie yelped.

53
00:04:04,087 --> 00:04:11,759
"Wait! Waldo! Ben gave you the <font color="#ffff00"><i>green</i></font> scales!"

54
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,445
She groaned. "Oh no. Now we'll have to start all over again."

55
00:04:18,446 --> 00:04:22,650
"But . . ." Ben shook his head in confusion as he stared at the sack.

56
00:04:22,651 --> 00:04:26,132
He was sure he'd given Waldo the right ingredient.

57
00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:28,193
"I know I grabbed the gold—"

58
00:04:28,194 --> 00:04:30,805
Winnie cut him off with a smile.

59
00:04:30,806 --> 00:04:34,458
"On second thought, we're good," she said.

60
00:04:34,459 --> 00:04:36,678
"We don't really need any help.

61
00:04:36,679 --> 00:04:40,437
Like my mom says, too many witches spoil the potion.

62
00:04:40,445 --> 00:04:43,310
Why don't you go see how Gaby and Mog are doing?"

63
00:04:43,311 --> 00:04:45,057
Ben blinked at her.

64
00:04:45,058 --> 00:04:50,418
He couldn't tell if she was trying to get rid of him or trying to be fair.

65
00:04:50,419 --> 00:04:52,827
"Okay," he said with a shrug.

66
00:04:52,828 --> 00:04:58,305
"See you later. Call if you need me."

67
00:04:58,306 --> 00:05:03,917
As he left, he noticed that the bag of green scales was still on the shelf.

68
00:05:03,918 --> 00:05:07,867
"I <font color="#ffff00"><i>did</i></font> get the right bag!" Ben thought.

69
00:05:07,868 --> 00:05:13,144
"Waldo's sneeze must have changed the gold scales to green."

70
00:05:13,145 --> 00:05:20,261
Ben felt annoyed. He'd tried to help Winnie, but Waldo had messed it up.

71
00:05:20,262 --> 00:05:25,621
When Ben got to the school library, Gaby and Mog were already rushing out.

72
00:05:25,622 --> 00:05:28,054
They were both grinning.

73
00:05:28,055 --> 00:05:30,489
"You two look happy," Ben said.

74
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:32,906
"Did you find the treasure already?"

75
00:05:32,907 --> 00:05:39,279
"Nope," Mog said. "But Gaby thought of a really good clue."

76
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,285
"I remembered that Pedro mentioned a painting," Gaby told Ben.

77
00:05:44,286 --> 00:05:49,466
"He said an artist painted him before he buried the treasure."

78
00:05:49,467 --> 00:05:51,741
"Right." Ben nodded.

79
00:05:51,742 --> 00:05:56,743
"So that painting could hold a clue to finding the treasure!" Gaby said.

80
00:05:56,744 --> 00:06:01,085
"We looked up information about pirate art," said Mog.

81
00:06:01,086 --> 00:06:04,856
"And we found out where that painting is."

82
00:06:04,857 --> 00:06:07,415
"Where?" Ben asked.

83
00:06:07,416 --> 00:06:11,283
"At the Monsterville Historical Society," Gaby said.

84
00:06:11,284 --> 00:06:14,565
"They've got some pirate artifacts there."

85
00:06:14,566 --> 00:06:17,688
"We're going there after school," Mog added.

86
00:06:17,689 --> 00:06:20,554
"You can come with us if you want."

87
00:06:20,555 --> 00:06:24,444
"Okay . . . maybe," Ben said.

88
00:06:24,445 --> 00:06:34,487
"If I'm not busy helping Winnie and Waldo."
