1
00:00:12,067 --> 00:00:16,991
Ben worked as fast as he could in the bunny rabbits' area.
2
00:00:16,992 --> 00:00:20,729
Just as he finished sweeping, the gym went quiet.
3
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:23,619
Miss Bungle was making an announcement.
4
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:29,495
"Our pet tricks competition will start in five minutes," she said.
5
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:33,202
"Pets and trainers, please line up now.
6
00:00:33,203 --> 00:00:37,434
Everyone else, please take a seat in the viewing area."
7
00:00:37,435 --> 00:00:40,571
Ben hurried toward the stage.
8
00:00:40,572 --> 00:00:46,272
He had to find Waldo and Sid, but he didn't want to miss
Winnie and Inky's performance.
9
00:00:46,273 --> 00:00:49,168
Luckily, Winnie was first in line.
10
00:00:49,169 --> 00:00:52,883
Clutching Inky, she flashed Ben a nervous smile.
11
00:00:52,884 --> 00:00:58,262
Then she headed for the stage, where three judges sat at a long table.
12
00:00:58,263 --> 00:01:01,695
"Tell us about your pet," the first judge said.
13
00:01:01,696 --> 00:01:04,801
"Well . . . " Winnie smiled, petting Inky.
14
00:01:04,802 --> 00:01:08,367
"I've been training her ever since I got her for my birthday.
15
00:01:08,368 --> 00:01:11,925
She's still young, but she's learned a lot of cool tricks."
16
00:01:11,926 --> 00:01:14,032
She put the kitten down.
17
00:01:14,033 --> 00:01:17,384
"Okay, Inky. Let's show everyone what you can do."
18
00:01:17,385 --> 00:01:26,357
Winnie started with a few simple tricks, like having Inky sit and stay.
19
00:01:26,358 --> 00:01:34,790
Then, to Ben's surprise, Winnie showed the judges how Inky could stand
and walk on her hind legs.
20
00:01:34,791 --> 00:01:39,636
"Wow!" Ben clapped hard, along with the rest of the crowd.
21
00:01:39,637 --> 00:01:45,514
Winnie blushed and took a bow.
22
00:01:45,515 --> 00:01:49,196
"I've saved her best trick for last," she said.
23
00:01:49,197 --> 00:01:54,964
"Here, Inky." Winnie patted her left shoulder, and Inky
instantly leaped up to sit there.
24
00:01:54,965 --> 00:02:00,263
Then Winnie got on her broom and flew all around the gym.
25
00:02:00,264 --> 00:02:02,581
Everyone clapped again.
26
00:02:02,582 --> 00:02:06,161
"Winnie is super talented!" Francis said.
27
00:02:06,162 --> 00:02:09,594
"I've never seen a cat do tricks before."
28
00:02:09,595 --> 00:02:12,350
"Me neither!" a ghoul agreed.
29
00:02:12,351 --> 00:02:15,940
"My cat always does the opposite of what I say."
30
00:02:15,941 --> 00:02:20,344
Winnie landed, took another bow, and then hurried off the stage.
31
00:02:20,345 --> 00:02:22,936
Miss Bungle returned to the microphone.
32
00:02:22,937 --> 00:02:25,380
"Thank you, Winnie," she said.
33
00:02:25,381 --> 00:02:27,273
"That was wonderful!
34
00:02:27,274 --> 00:02:34,085
Our next contestant, Pixel, has a pet pig."
35
00:02:34,086 --> 00:02:37,925
Ben enjoyed watching Priscilla the pig perform.
36
00:02:37,926 --> 00:02:43,214
The pink pig could sit, wave—even fetch objects.
37
00:02:43,215 --> 00:02:47,876
As the audience clapped, Priscilla and Pixel took a bow.
38
00:02:47,877 --> 00:02:50,432
Next it was Mog's turn.
39
00:02:50,433 --> 00:02:57,969
"Everyone, please give a warm welcome to Mog and his dog, Rex-Rex!"
40
00:02:57,970 --> 00:03:02,693
Mog dashed onstage as Winnie sat next to Ben.
41
00:03:02,694 --> 00:03:05,728
"That was awesome!" Ben said.
42
00:03:05,729 --> 00:03:10,187
"I know." Winnie smiled. "Inky was so great!"
43
00:03:10,188 --> 00:03:13,932
"Mog and Rex-Rex are going to do well too," Ben said.
44
00:03:13,933 --> 00:03:17,125
"Mog has been working hard with him."
45
00:03:17,126 --> 00:03:20,768
Onstage, Mog was working with Rex-Rex.
46
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:22,692
"Now play dead!"
47
00:03:22,693 --> 00:03:28,776
Rex-Rex stood on his hind legs, clutched at his chest,
and then fell over backward.
48
00:03:28,777 --> 00:03:34,806
Everyone laughed.
49
00:03:34,807 --> 00:03:37,976
Sid suddenly dropped down beside Ben.
50
00:03:37,977 --> 00:03:40,465
"How's the hunt going?" Ben asked.
51
00:03:40,466 --> 00:03:42,444
"Any luck?"
52
00:03:42,445 --> 00:03:44,747
"Hunt for what?" Winnie asked.
53
00:03:44,748 --> 00:03:48,450
Ben quickly explained about the missing owl.
54
00:03:48,451 --> 00:03:52,779
"Wow, Oswald can make himself invisible?" Winnie said.
55
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:54,674
"That's an awesome trick!"
56
00:03:54,675 --> 00:03:57,598
"It's more like a bad habit," Ben muttered.
57
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:00,698
"Waldo's still looking for Oswald," Sid said,
58
00:04:00,699 --> 00:04:04,415
"but I got tired. Plus, I wanted to watch the show."
59
00:04:04,416 --> 00:04:07,224
Inky had been squirming in Winnie's arms.
60
00:04:07,225 --> 00:04:11,016
Spotting Sid, she jumped into his lap.
61
00:04:11,017 --> 00:04:15,083
Sid laughed. "She didn't like me when she was living with us!
62
00:04:15,084 --> 00:04:17,054
Now I'm her best friend."
63
00:04:17,055 --> 00:04:21,524
Winnie smiled. "Cats are mysterious. That's why I like them."
64
00:04:21,525 --> 00:04:24,873
Sid patted Inky's head. "We could get a cat, Ben."
65
00:04:24,874 --> 00:04:28,760
"No, we can't," Ben said as Inky hissed at him.
66
00:04:28,761 --> 00:04:31,790
"Cats usually hate ghosts."
67
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:35,155
"Oh!" Winnie pointed at Sid's arm.
68
00:04:35,156 --> 00:04:38,618
"It looks like you are allergic to Inky, Sid."
69
00:04:38,619 --> 00:04:41,164
"What?" Sid sat up to look.
70
00:04:41,165 --> 00:04:45,551
And as he did, Inky sprang into the air—and hovered there!
71
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:49,536
Winnie stared up at the cat and blinked. "Inky?"
72
00:04:49,537 --> 00:04:53,766
"Come down, Inky!" Sid said.
73
00:04:53,767 --> 00:04:56,708
Other audience members noticed the kitten.
74
00:04:56,709 --> 00:05:01,859
"Look!" Mayor Hubbletree cried. "That kitten can fly!"
75
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:05,056
"Amazing trick!" a fish monster said.
76
00:05:05,057 --> 00:05:09,713
"It's not a trick!" Winnie cried. "Inky can't fly!"
77
00:05:09,714 --> 00:05:12,246
Ben shot upward, trying to grab the kitten.
78
00:05:12,247 --> 00:05:14,051
But Inky zoomed away.
79
00:05:14,052 --> 00:05:18,139
"Inky!" Winnie cried, hopping onto her broom again.
80
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:24,724
Everyone in the audience oohed and aahed.
81
00:05:24,725 --> 00:05:28,653
"They think this is part of the pet tricks show!" Ben realized.
82
00:05:28,654 --> 00:05:32,014
He noticed Sid staring at his green spots.
83
00:05:32,015 --> 00:05:33,286
"Are you okay, Sid?"
84
00:05:33,287 --> 00:05:35,464
"Yes." Sid nodded.
85
00:05:35,465 --> 00:05:39,032
"The spots are fading, but I can't understand why I got them."
86
00:05:39,033 --> 00:05:44,435
Ben nodded. It did seem weird since Sid had never been allergic to Inky before.
87
00:05:44,436 --> 00:05:51,115
Maybe—"Yikes!" Ben whistled loudly twice.
88
00:05:51,116 --> 00:05:57,747
Poof! Oswald appeared in midair, clutching Winnie's kitten in his talons.
89
00:05:57,748 --> 00:06:02,025
"Ooh!" The audience stared in amazement.
90
00:06:02,026 --> 00:06:08,084
Winnie zoomed after the owl, but she couldn't keep up
with his swoops and dives.
91
00:06:08,085 --> 00:06:09,953
She shot back to Ben.
92
00:06:09,954 --> 00:06:15,477
"Ben! Do something! That owl is going to eat Inky!"
