1 00:00:12,118 --> 00:00:19,585 The witches' flying painting hovered in the air along one wall of the gym. 2 00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:26,311 It showed a famous race, with witches zooming through a moonlit sky on sleek brooms. 3 00:00:26,312 --> 00:00:36,913 Some areas of the painting still looked beautiful, but Ben saw several long, messy smears across one section. 4 00:00:36,914 --> 00:00:45,962 In another spot, colors ran together, and little blobs of paint floated in the air all around the flying painting. 5 00:00:45,963 --> 00:00:49,423 A few witches stood looking at it in horror. 6 00:00:49,424 --> 00:00:52,539 Greta was chewing nervously on her hat. 7 00:00:52,540 --> 00:00:57,831 "After all that work!" she sobbed. 8 00:00:57,832 --> 00:01:00,821 "Our painting is ruined!" 9 00:01:00,829 --> 00:01:06,311 Ben stood helplessly beside Winnie. 10 00:01:06,312 --> 00:01:08,714 "It's not that bad," he mumbled. 11 00:01:08,715 --> 00:01:15,677 "I mean, I know it's not perfect anymore, but—" Winnie shot him a look, and he stopped talking. 12 00:01:15,678 --> 00:01:20,326 Waldo burst into the room, his glasses flying off his face. 13 00:01:20,327 --> 00:01:25,411 "This is terrible!" He stooped to pick up his glasses. 14 00:01:25,412 --> 00:01:28,690 "Who ruined the painting?" 15 00:01:28,691 --> 00:01:31,749 Mr. Freaky spun toward Ben. 16 00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:34,808 "I think I know who the culprit is!" 17 00:01:34,809 --> 00:01:38,596 Several monsters gasped. 18 00:01:38,597 --> 00:01:40,458 Ben held up his hands. 19 00:01:40,459 --> 00:01:43,959 "I'm not the vandal, Mr. Freaky," he said. 20 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:48,378 "As I was trying to tell you earlier, I had nothing to do with that missing painting. 21 00:01:48,379 --> 00:01:51,967 I had nothing to do with this mischief either." 22 00:01:51,968 --> 00:01:56,667 Mr. Freaky stared at Ben for a second before nodding. 23 00:01:56,668 --> 00:02:00,622 Then he slumped over, looking defeated. 24 00:02:00,623 --> 00:02:05,477 "Leonardo da Creepy will be here at seven," he moaned. 25 00:02:05,478 --> 00:02:09,618 "Art Week is totally out of control! 26 00:02:09,619 --> 00:02:13,246 What are we going to do?" 27 00:02:13,247 --> 00:02:16,666 "I know what we're going to do," Winnie said suddenly. 28 00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:20,476 "We're going to fix it. We have to anyway. 29 00:02:20,477 --> 00:02:25,460 Greta, round up as many sixth-grade witches as you can find," she commanded. 30 00:02:25,461 --> 00:02:30,530 "Samantha, see if you can locate the witches from the broom-flying squad." 31 00:02:30,531 --> 00:02:35,205 "Okay!" The two witches raced off on their brooms. 32 00:02:35,206 --> 00:02:37,899 "We need some new paints," Waldo said. 33 00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:39,888 "I'll start mixing them." 34 00:02:39,889 --> 00:02:42,539 "I can help you," another witch said. 35 00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:46,111 "I'm in Advanced Magic class this year." 36 00:02:46,112 --> 00:02:50,964 The two of them went into a corner of the gym to cast spells. 37 00:02:50,965 --> 00:02:56,728 While the other monsters worked, Ben looked for clues. 38 00:02:56,729 --> 00:03:03,565 Soon he spotted the gym teacher talking to Mr. Freaky. 39 00:03:03,566 --> 00:03:07,653 "Mr. Gwarg, did you see anything suspicious?" Ben asked. 40 00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:11,456 Mr. Gwarg shrugged. 41 00:03:11,457 --> 00:03:14,266 "I did hear a commotion a little while ago. 42 00:03:14,267 --> 00:03:18,809 But when I got inside the gym, the painting had already been damaged. 43 00:03:18,810 --> 00:03:23,583 The gym was deserted." 44 00:03:23,584 --> 00:03:29,437 Ben sighed. "It looks like the vandal got away again." 45 00:03:29,438 --> 00:03:35,501 "That means he or she could try to ruin some of our artwork again," Mr. Freaky said. 46 00:03:35,502 --> 00:03:38,301 "I'd better go check on my sculpture." 47 00:03:38,302 --> 00:03:42,602 "And I'll patrol the halls," Mr. Gwarg said. 48 00:03:42,603 --> 00:03:46,951 "Ben, let me know if you discover any clues in here." 49 00:03:46,952 --> 00:03:53,020 Ben nodded and went to the painting to see if he could do anything to help. 50 00:03:53,021 --> 00:03:57,610 Several witches were arguing about the best way to fix the painting. 51 00:03:57,611 --> 00:04:02,434 "We should start at the bottom and work our way to the top." 52 00:04:02,435 --> 00:04:06,348 "No! We should start at the top and work our way down." 53 00:04:06,349 --> 00:04:10,027 "I want to add a better finish line," Greta said. 54 00:04:10,028 --> 00:04:12,908 "No way!" Winnie called out. 55 00:04:12,909 --> 00:04:15,508 "We're not making any changes, you guys. 56 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:19,604 As soon as the paint is ready, we'll just patch up what we can." 57 00:04:19,605 --> 00:04:23,523 "I think I'll focus on the investigation for now," Ben thought. 58 00:04:23,524 --> 00:04:26,258 He drifted away from the witches again. 59 00:04:26,259 --> 00:04:29,145 "Let's see," he murmured. 60 00:04:29,146 --> 00:04:33,650 "The vandal probably slipped out the gym's rear door." 61 00:04:33,651 --> 00:04:41,691 As Ben floated toward the back of the room, an object under the bleachers caught his eye. 62 00:04:41,692 --> 00:04:47,094 Ben stooped down. 63 00:04:47,095 --> 00:04:51,570 "It's Pixel's camera." 64 00:04:51,571 --> 00:04:56,120 Ben looked around the gym, but he didn't see the younger ghost anywhere. 65 00:04:56,121 --> 00:04:58,418 "That's odd," Ben thought. 66 00:04:58,419 --> 00:05:02,201 Pixel had come to the gym to take photos of the flying painting. 67 00:05:02,202 --> 00:05:04,295 So why wasn't he here? 68 00:05:04,296 --> 00:05:07,308 And why did he abandon his camera? 69 00:05:07,309 --> 00:05:12,953 Ben turned on the camera and started looking at the photos. 70 00:05:12,954 --> 00:05:20,691 The most recent ones showed the witches' painting—looking absolutely perfect. 71 00:05:20,692 --> 00:05:25,609 "So Pixel was here before the vandal struck," Ben thought. 72 00:05:25,610 --> 00:05:31,865 "I wonder if the vandal was chasing him and that's how Pixel dropped his camera." 73 00:05:31,866 --> 00:05:34,629 Ben suddenly felt very worried. 74 00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:39,696 He didn't know Pixel well, but he did know that the ghost loved his camera. 75 00:05:39,697 --> 00:05:45,566 There was no way Pixel would abandon his camera unless something terrible had happened. 76 00:05:45,567 --> 00:05:49,043 Ben froze, the camera still in his hands. 77 00:05:49,044 --> 00:05:55,344 Where would Pixel go if he needed to hide or get away from someone? 78 00:05:55,345 --> 00:05:58,937 "The old photography classroom!" Ben thought. 79 00:05:58,938 --> 00:06:03,790 It was a tiny room upstairs, which nobody ever used anymore. 80 00:06:03,791 --> 00:06:12,714 Ben needed to get there right away!
