00:00:12,117 --> 00:00:17,654
"Ugh." Ben groaned as he watched Winnie grinning up at Zork.

2
00:00:17,655 --> 00:00:22,435
She was giggling as if Zork had said the funniest thing in the world.

3
00:00:22,436 --> 00:00:26,164
"What if he's asking her to join Team Orange?" Ben thought.

4
00:00:26,165 --> 00:00:27,968
That would be terrible!

5
00:00:27,969 --> 00:00:32,286
He picked up speed, zooming toward Winnie and Zork.

6
00:00:32,287 --> 00:00:36,656
"Ouch!" a goblin shrieked as Ben floated through him.

7
00:00:36,657 --> 00:00:41,815
"Hey, Ben, want to buy a T-shirt for Team Orange?" a cheerleader asked.

8
00:00:41,816 --> 00:00:46,103
"No thanks," Ben said. "I'm on Team Black."

9
00:00:46,104 --> 00:00:51,402
"What about a Team Black T-shirt then?" another cheerleader asked.

10
00:00:51,403 --> 00:00:58,066
"Maybe later," Ben said. "Hey, Winnie!" he called.

11
00:00:58,067 --> 00:01:04,161
"Winnie!" By now, Winnie and Zork had started walking away together down the hallway.

12
00:01:04,162 --> 00:01:10,826
Frustrated, Ben shot up to the ceiling above the crowd. "Winnie!" he yelled once more.

13
00:01:10,827 --> 00:01:14,089
This time she heard him and stopped.

14
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:18,171
He flew over to drop down directly in front of her.

15
00:01:18,172 --> 00:01:21,750
"Oh, hi, Ben," she said.

16
00:01:21,751 --> 00:01:23,890
"Hey, Ben," Zork added.

17
00:01:23,891 --> 00:01:27,897
Ben gave him a curt nod before turning back to Winnie.

18
00:01:27,898 --> 00:01:30,041
"Do you have a minute?" he asked.

19
00:01:30,049 --> 00:01:34,243
"I wanted to talk to you about something. It's kind of important."

20
00:01:34,244 --> 00:01:37,394
"Sorry." Winnie shook her head.

21
00:01:37,395 --> 00:01:39,291
"I can't talk right now.

22
00:01:39,292 --> 00:01:44,649
I need to find my cousin Serena. She's visiting my family for a few days."

23
00:01:44,650 --> 00:01:47,193
"I didn't know your cousin was coming."

24
00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:50,315
Winnie let out a sigh.

25
00:01:50,316 --> 00:01:53,627
"I wish I could forget it myself," she said.

26
00:01:53,628 --> 00:02:00,583
"She was supposed to meet me outside the auditorium before the pep rally, but she never showed up.

27
00:02:00,584 --> 00:02:03,551
I have no idea where she is."

28
00:02:03,552 --> 00:02:05,739
Zork puffed out his chest.

29
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:09,159
"I've been helping Winnie look for her.

30
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,030
I'll go and check the gym now.

31
00:02:11,031 --> 00:02:14,102
If I spot her, I'll send you a message."

32
00:02:14,103 --> 00:02:18,252
"Thanks so much, Zork." Winnie flashed a smile at him.

33
00:02:18,253 --> 00:02:21,463
"That's so nice of you."

34
00:02:21,464 --> 00:02:25,684
"He's just walking around school," Ben muttered as Zork hurried off.

35
00:02:25,685 --> 00:02:28,799
"It's not a big deal. I can help you look too."

36
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:36,953
"Okay, great." Winnie pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her messages.

37
00:02:36,954 --> 00:02:39,785
"Why hasn't Serena texted me?"

38
00:02:39,786 --> 00:02:45,768
Ben was still worried that Zork was going to ask Winnie to be on Team Orange.

39
00:02:45,769 --> 00:02:49,724
"Hey, do you want to be on Team Black with Mog and me?" he blurted out.

40
00:02:49,725 --> 00:02:52,527
"Deb's on the team, and so is Waldo."

41
00:02:52,528 --> 00:02:54,472
Winnie looked annoyed.

42
00:02:54,473 --> 00:02:56,846
"I already told Mog no.

43
00:02:56,847 --> 00:03:01,640
I have a lot of homework this week, and Serena is visiting."

44
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:05,798
"Zork didn't ask you to be on his team, did he?"

45
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:08,944
"What?" Winnie blinked in surprise.

46
00:03:08,945 --> 00:03:11,962
"Ben, are you accusing me of lying?"

47
00:03:11,963 --> 00:03:15,516
"Of course not!" Ben said quickly. "I'd never—"

48
00:03:15,517 --> 00:03:17,624
"Good," Winnie snapped.

49
00:03:17,625 --> 00:03:19,791
"Because I'm telling the truth.

50
00:03:19,792 --> 00:03:24,636
Like I said, I'm stuck with my cousin for the next three days.

51
00:03:24,637 --> 00:03:30,454
Come on, let's keep looking for her."

52
00:03:30,455 --> 00:03:34,996
As they walked through the halls, Ben didn't bring up Field Day again.

53
00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:38,132
Winnie seemed to be in a really bad mood.

54
00:03:38,133 --> 00:03:41,691
Ben had never seen her so irritable.

55
00:03:41,692 --> 00:03:44,857
"Your cousin must be awful," he said.

56
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,818
Winnie bit her lip.

57
00:03:46,819 --> 00:03:53,477
"She's not really awful . . . It's just that she's always at the center of attention."

58
00:03:53,478 --> 00:03:56,486
"What do you mean?" Ben asked. "Does she—"

59
00:03:56,487 --> 00:04:04,462
"Ar-roo!" A werewolf's loud howl cut him off.

60
00:04:04,463 --> 00:04:11,947
As Ben and Winnie approached the library, Ben saw a group of male monsters standing in a large circle.

61
00:04:11,948 --> 00:04:20,661
While the werewolf kept howling, a two-headed monster stood on both heads, and a squid monster spun around like a break dancer.

62
00:04:20,662 --> 00:04:24,104
"What is going on in there?" Ben asked.

63
00:04:24,105 --> 00:04:30,065
"I know exactly what's going on!" Winnie said. "Serena is in there!"

64
00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:35,804
Winnie stomped into the library, and Ben floated in after her.

65
00:04:35,805 --> 00:04:44,870
Sure enough, standing in the center of the large circle, was a witch—the most beautiful witch that Ben had ever seen.

66
00:04:44,871 --> 00:04:50,189
"Wow!" Ben thought.

67
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:54,461
Without realizing it, he let out a gasp.

68
00:04:54,462 --> 00:04:57,120
Winnie was pushing her way through the crowd.

69
00:04:57,121 --> 00:05:02,225
"Excuse me!"

70
00:05:02,226 --> 00:05:05,596
"Hey, cousin!" the beautiful witch said.

71
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:10,024
"Hello, Serena." Winnie gestured at the lovesick monsters.

72
00:05:10,025 --> 00:05:13,222
"Can you please fix this situation?"

73
00:05:13,223 --> 00:05:17,535
"Sure." Serena looked at the monsters and smiled.

74
00:05:17,536 --> 00:05:23,323
"Okay, guys. I found my cousin, so the rest of you can go now.

75
00:05:23,324 --> 00:05:32,119
Thanks for the welcome to Monster Academy."

76
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,996
A skeleton clattered over to Winnie.

77
00:05:35,997 --> 00:05:39,555
"Is Serena really your cousin?" he asked.

78
00:05:39,556 --> 00:05:42,070
"Yep," Winnie replied.

79
00:05:42,071 --> 00:05:44,506
He put a bony hand on his heart.

80
00:05:44,507 --> 00:05:49,925
"Wow, you're the luckiest witch in the world!"

81
00:05:49,926 --> 00:05:53,574
Serena heard him and threw an arm around Winnie's shoulder.

82
00:05:53,575 --> 00:05:56,250
"Lighten up, Winnie," she said.

83
00:05:56,251 --> 00:06:00,851
"We're going to have so much fun while I'm here!"

84
00:06:00,852 --> 00:06:04,567
Ben heard Winnie mutter a few words in reply.

85
00:06:04,568 --> 00:06:09,523
It didn't sound like she was having fun yet.
