1
00:00:12,118 --> 00:00:16,561
Ben was still staring at Winnie's cousin.

2
00:00:16,562 --> 00:00:20,519
"Aren't you going to introduce me?" he said, nudging Winnie gently.

3
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:28,824
She sighed. "Ben, this is my cousin Serena. Serena, this is my friend Ben."

4
00:00:28,825 --> 00:00:36,279
Ben felt a little hurt. Winnie usually introduced him as her boyfriend.

5
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,864
"It's nice to meet you, Ben," Serena said.

6
00:00:39,865 --> 00:00:46,029
She flashed a dazzling smile at him, and he felt himself blushing from head to toe.

7
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:52,948
"Thanks! It's amazing to meet . . ." Ben let his words trail off as Winnie glared at him.

8
00:00:52,949 --> 00:00:56,298
"It's nice to meet you too," he mumbled.

9
00:00:56,299 --> 00:01:00,600
"Where were you, Serena?" Winnie asked with a frown.

10
00:01:00,601 --> 00:01:06,642
"You were supposed to sign in at the main office and then meet me outside the auditorium for the pep rally.

11
00:01:06,643 --> 00:01:10,306
I waited and waited for you.

12
00:01:10,307 --> 00:01:17,403
You made me late for the pep rally—I missed most of the cheers."

13
00:01:17,404 --> 00:01:21,600
"Sorry about that," Serena said.

14
00:01:21,601 --> 00:01:25,787
"I headed to the pep rally after I went to the main office.

15
00:01:25,788 --> 00:01:30,173
But all these monsters kept stopping to talk to me."

16
00:01:30,174 --> 00:01:34,320
Winnie let out another big sigh.

17
00:01:34,321 --> 00:01:38,888
"Well, we need to go upstairs now.

18
00:01:38,889 --> 00:01:45,288
I have to get my broom from the broom-flying classroom before it gets locked for the day."

19
00:01:45,289 --> 00:01:56,599
She grabbed Serena's arm and dragged her away.

20
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200
"Hey, Winnie," Ben began.

21
00:01:59,201 --> 00:02:01,919
"Can we talk about Field Day again? I just wanted—"

22
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,703
"I'm busy, Ben!" Winnie said loudly.

23
00:02:04,704 --> 00:02:06,803
"Didn't you hear me say that before?"

24
00:02:06,804 --> 00:02:14,165
"Yes, but . . ." Ben's words trailed off as the two witches disappeared into the hallway.

25
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:16,342
He ran a hand through his hair.

26
00:02:16,343 --> 00:02:18,421
"Mog is right," he thought.

27
00:02:18,422 --> 00:02:21,647
"Winnie is acting really weird today."

28
00:02:21,648 --> 00:02:25,963
His thoughts flashed back to Winnie's laughing and smiling with Zork.

29
00:02:25,964 --> 00:02:28,967
She'd seemed fine then.

30
00:02:28,968 --> 00:02:33,825
Suddenly Ben felt a large hand clamp down on his shoulder.

31
00:02:33,826 --> 00:02:35,289
It was Mog's.

32
00:02:35,290 --> 00:02:38,600
"Ready for practice, Ben?" Mog asked.

33
00:02:38,601 --> 00:02:43,494
"Team Black had better practice today, or Zork's team will beat us."

34
00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:46,045
"No, they won't!" Ben burst out.

35
00:02:46,046 --> 00:02:48,451
"Team Black is going to win!"

36
00:02:48,452 --> 00:02:52,666
"That's what I call team spirit," Mog said.

37
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:55,467
They headed toward the gym.

38
00:02:55,468 --> 00:02:59,123
"Did you have any luck with Winnie?" Mog asked.

39
00:02:59,124 --> 00:03:01,582
"No." Ben shook his head.

40
00:03:01,583 --> 00:03:04,363
"She told me what she told you—she's too busy.

41
00:03:04,364 --> 00:03:07,291
Her cousin is visiting for a few days."

42
00:03:07,299 --> 00:03:09,449
"Too bad," Mog said.

43
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:16,355
"But it's okay. Jen said she'd love to join Team Black if Winnie can't do it."

44
00:03:16,356 --> 00:03:21,143
Ben felt worried. "Jen's a blob, Mog," he said.

45
00:03:21,144 --> 00:03:24,201
"Blobs can't run very fast.

46
00:03:24,202 --> 00:03:29,246
And there's a sack race and a cross-country race during Field Day."

47
00:03:29,247 --> 00:03:35,820
Mog shrugged. "Blobs are faster than zombies," he said.

48
00:03:35,821 --> 00:03:44,044
"And they don't drool. Besides"—he peered closely at Ben—"Jen's really nice.

49
00:03:44,045 --> 00:03:47,182
She'll be a good team member."

50
00:03:47,183 --> 00:03:49,770
"You're right." Ben nodded.

51
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,783
"I guess I'm just getting carried away because of Zork.

52
00:03:52,784 --> 00:03:58,362
I can't stand the thought of losing to that guy!"

53
00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:05,348
Ten minutes later Team Black was warming up inside the gym.

54
00:04:05,349 --> 00:04:10,888
After only six push-ups, Waldo and Jen looked exhausted.

55
00:04:10,889 --> 00:04:15,537
Deb and Pixel looked only slightly better.

56
00:04:15,538 --> 00:04:17,889
Ben tried not to think about it.

57
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:24,063
"We'll be fine," he told himself. "We can beat Team Orange."

58
00:04:24,064 --> 00:04:28,597
When warm-ups were over, Mog gathered the team together.

59
00:04:28,598 --> 00:04:30,710
"Great warm-up, everybody.

60
00:04:30,711 --> 00:04:35,583
Now let's start practicing for the slime ball toss," he said.

61
00:04:35,584 --> 00:04:40,411
"I don't have any slime balls, but we can practice with dodo eggs.

62
00:04:40,412 --> 00:04:43,630
I got them from the cafeteria."

63
00:04:43,631 --> 00:04:51,945
"Ooh!" Jen squealed. "I love catching slime! I can't wait till tomorrow."

64
00:04:51,946 --> 00:04:59,413
Mog looked at Waldo. "Just remember—Mr. Gwarg said no magic tomorrow."

65
00:04:59,414 --> 00:05:01,973
"Got it," Waldo murmured.

66
00:05:01,974 --> 00:05:07,166
"Good." Mog quickly went over the rules for the practice game.

67
00:05:07,167 --> 00:05:09,406
"If the egg cracks, you're out.

68
00:05:09,407 --> 00:05:13,348
Now everybody spread out a little bit."

69
00:05:13,349 --> 00:05:19,328
Team Black tossed a dodo egg around, being very careful not to drop it or crack it.

70
00:05:19,329 --> 00:05:25,078
Mog called out a few tips, and Ben had to admit that Mog had been right about Waldo.

71
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:29,260
The wizard was pretty good at tossing and catching the egg.

72
00:05:29,261 --> 00:05:35,576
Before long, some other monsters wandered into the gym to watch Team Black practice.

73
00:05:35,577 --> 00:05:39,259
"This is actually going pretty well!" Ben thought with relief.

74
00:05:39,260 --> 00:05:44,462
Suddenly the gym doors opened again, and Serena sauntered in.

75
00:05:44,463 --> 00:05:48,467
Winnie hurried in right behind her cousin, trying to keep up.

76
00:05:48,468 --> 00:05:53,239
A few monsters gasped when they spotted the beautiful witch.

77
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,660
As Mog turned to see what was causing the commotion, the dodo egg flew from his hand.

78
00:05:58,661 --> 00:06:04,649
It sailed through the air—heading straight for Waldo's face!
