[frogs croaking]
[Maddie] Seed of swordspine.
One cup of dirt from a widow's grave.
Add both to bubbling bogwater.
And finally...
one half drop of wormsnake venom.
Steady.
-Stead... -Maddie! Maddie! Maddie! Maddie!
[hisses]
[groans]
Hi, Rosemary, Ginger, Lavender.
- What are you doing here? - Hey, Sis.
You promised you'd play with us, remember?
I'm in the middle of a spell. Can we play tomorrow?
That's what you said yesterday.
Look, Mrs. Jonkins is counting on me
to bring her pet, Flea-fi, back to life.
[crow caws] Hey, hey. Get outta here.
Necromancy is really advanced magic.
It's said that only level two witches can pull it off.
I've only done level one spells up until now, so...
Boo. Magic is boring.
And creepy.
Let's play instead.
Remember when you used to juggle us?
[together] Juggle us! Juggle us! [groans] Fine.
Give me a few minutes to wrap this up, and we'll play.
[all] Yay!
Almost there.
[chuckles maniacally]
[snores] What happened to a few minutes?
Oh. Huh?
[giggles]
[giggling]
- [screams] - [screams]
No. That took all morning!
[growls]
Uh-oh. [screams]
Croc's-eye conifer. What a find.
And they said compiling a plant-cyclopedia would be boring.
[screams]
That doesn't sound good.
[screams]
[tree growls]
No froggin' way.
A curse user, here?
[pants] What's the matter with you three?
We were just trying to play with you.
[groans] Well now I definitely don't have time.
Go home and help Dad with the bakery or something.
I swear, sometimes I wish you three would just grow up.
[all] Aw...
[sighs]
Okay, Marce. Be cool.
Get out there and introduce yourself with confidence.
Hi, there. My name's Marcy. [screams]
[explosion]
Oh. Whoops. You're Anne's friend, right?
Oh, my gosh. That was the coolest thing ever.
Some kind of low-grade fire curse?
I'm impressed you knew that.
Do you also have an interest in the dark arts?
Are you kidding?
I've read every Cynthia Coven book five times.
I searched all over Newtopia for someone who could teach me
but magic users are so rare these days.
Wow. No one's ever been interested in what I do.
They usually run away screaming.
I'm running towards you. How do you feel about that?
Like a beautifulfriendship is about to start.
Wanna be my apprentice and help me bring a dead flea back to life?
Do I ever?
[both chuckle]
If we're gonna bring this flea back to life,
we need a few more ingredients.
First up, bile of a vomit bird
- [stomach growls] - [groans]
[both chuckle]
[Maddie] Then, some big ol' ticks.
[chuckles, screams]
[Maddie] "A really rotted corpse."
No.
Hey, perfect.
Did you just mistake me for a corpse?
Of corpse not, Hop Pop.
[Hop Pop grunts] [screams]
[Maddie] Fresh soil from a graveyard.
"Assorted limbs."
"And lastly, a high five from your new best bud."
[Maddie] Well, this is me.
[groans]
I hope my sisters are asleep.
I don't wanna deal with them right now.
What's wrong with your sisters?
It's a long story.
I used to play with them all the time.
Especially juggling, that was their favorite.
Then I got my own interests.
Magic became my passion,
my calling.
I didn't have time to waste on kid stuff anymore.
And ever since then, they've been so annoying.
As someone who goes hard into her hobbies, I relate,
but don't you think you should
- still make time for them occasionally? - Nonsense.
Being a witch is a big responsibility, Marcy.
I've got more important things to do now than babysit.
Well, you are the master.
See you at the sacrificial grove tomorrow
for our unholy ritual.
[together] Creepy spiders.
[squeals] Can't wait!
[growls]
I can't believe it.
Maddie replaced us.
Why does she wanna hang out with that old lady?
I wish we were older.
Then Maddie would wanna play with us like she used to.
[gasps] That's it. That's it. That's it.
We have to use one of Maddie's witchy spells
- to grow up. - "Grow up"?
And then we'll be older
and Maddie will wanna play with us again.
[all] Yeah. [chuckle maniacally]
Night, girls.
[together] Good night, Daddy.
- Morning, Daughter. - Dad, have you seen my spell book?
I need to perform a level two resurrection with my apprentice.
I think I saw your sisters with it.
[screams] I'm gonna kill 'em!
Make sure you resurrect them when you're done.
Hmm?
What've I told you
about playing with my stuff?
We're not playing.
We're making a witchy spell.
[gasps] Wh... What did you do to my book? It's ruined.
This is why I don't spend time with you anymore.
Because you're annoying little babies!
Won't be babies for much longer...
[noise warbles]
Check it out. My first successful curse.
Some kind of horrible abomination.
[electronic yodels]
Okay. That's enough.
- You okay? - I'm so done with my sisters.
Look what they did to my spell book.
Yeesh. They didn't even color in the lines. [clicks tongue]
Whatever. They won't stop me from reaching level two.
Let's get to resurrecting.
[gasps] It's alive.
It's alive!
Or there's a slight breeze.
[rattling]
[both gasp] [Flea-fi pants]
We did it. We did it!
I'm finally a level two witch! Huh?
Maddie!
- [scream] - [whines]
- Flea-fi! - Holy cow!
Found you!
Wait. Ginger?
You wanted us grown up.
So here we are!
Oh, no. They didn't. Didn't what?
Come on, Maddie. Play with us.
[together] Hide-and-seek.
[both scream]
[thumping]
This is insane. Why would they curse themselves
with some half-baked growth spell?
[echoing] Growth spell.
Oh, no. It's because I told them they needed to grow up.
They only did this to spend more time with me.
And it's bad, really bad.
- They did the spell all wrong. - How can you tell?
Because... they're still growing.
A curse like that should be done already.
At this rate, they're going to balloon until they explode.
Found you. [screams]
Now we hide...
[screams] And you seek.
[chuckle]
[screams]
[screaming]
[grunts]
[screams]
[laughing]
You ever think it's weird
when the main characters aren't in an episode?
Eh, you don't miss 'em.
[screaming]
Wow. We're big.
Maybe a little too big.
Hey, uh, guys.
How much bigger are we supposed to get?
I don't know. But I don't like it.
Make it stop.
[screaming]
You grow tulips.
- We gotta do something. - But what?
- Come with me. - Right behind you, teach.
All right, master. I got all the ingredients for the antidote.
Good. I'm gonna need you to make four doses. While I calm them down.
But I'm not ready for that level of potion-making.
Wait, four antidotes? Why four?
Because one of them is for me.
[gasps]
[deep voice] Rosemary. Lavender. Ginger.
I'm here.
- Maddie! - Help us!
We made a mistake.
I'm the one who made a mistake.
I should've made time for you three.
But now I'm gonna make up for it.
[cooing]
[giggles]
[grunts]
Crosshand shuffle.
Around the swamp.
Three wog monty.
[giggles]
Maddie, get ready!
Whoo-hoo.
[grunts] Oh!
[grunts] Whoo!
[cheers]
[chuckles]
Nice job with those antidotes, apprentice.
What can I say? I had a great teacher.
[together] Maddie! Maddie! Maddie!
You're the best sister ever!
No, I'm not.
Because of me, you three almost exploded.
- Wait, what? - I got so caught up with my witch stuff
that I forgot that being a good older sister is my responsibility too.
- [together] - We forgive you. - No.
You should be mad at me. I'm mad at me.
Let me have it. Really. I deserve it.
[together] We love you, Maddie.
I love you too, you little scamps.
[sighs] Now that's magic.
Oh, my gosh. Everyone, look.
[pants]
[Maddie] Flea-fi.
Bring it in, Flea-fi, you crazy freak of nature.
[all] Flea-fi!
