The Amazing Wizard of Paws Page #4

Okay.

On with the show.

Let's see where I go.

Step through,

and see where it takes you.

I think it works.

We're gonna be late.

Hurry, Ozzy.

What time are the callbacks

for the audition?

Less than an hour. We...

I need time to get changed,

and then we have to make sure

that the portals still working.

- Come on.

- Let's go.

Come on, Ozzy.

Come on.

Where is everybody?

This isn't the way home.

We're going uptown.

Ozzy, we gotta get

off this bus now.

Ah!

Hand over the key

and take me to the book.

Now!

Bobby!

Look out.

Bobby!

Hold on.

Shoo da da doo

Lalala

Shoo da da doo

Lala

Fly away

Like birds of a feather

So good together

You and me

We're like a panoramic view

With the beautifulest hues

Of a picture-perfect place

Only you and I can grace

Only you know what I mean

So let's just close

our eyes together and dream

Bobby. You okay?

We missed the callbacks

for the show.

Now we'll never have a chance

to save the house.

We had our one chance,

and we missed it.

Hmm. I've got an idea.

Bobby, who are you talking to?

Uh, just talking on my phone.

Well, don't be long.

It's expensive.

I won't.

So what's your idea?

So we're gonna take

my toy steam engine back in time?

To the audition callbacks.

Look, it's one thing to step through

a portal to another place,

but to another time?

I can't do that kind of magic.

Yes, you can, with my help.

Okay.

Abracadabra.

Abracadabra.

Abracadabra.

It's not working.

- Try a rhyme.

- A rhyme?

I'm not good at rhymes.

Hmm.

I need to go back in time

to the audition...

Hmm.

Nothing rhymes with "audition."

Hmm.

We missed the audition.

We need to go back.

I can't do this.

I can't figure out

how to do this in rhyme.

Just wanted to go back in time.

Yes. I did it.

Get up, get UP

- Get in

- Yes!

I'm going like a freight train

- Oh, yeah!

And I'm never gonna stop

Getup, get up, get in

- I'm living in the moment

- Yeah! Oh, yeah!

On the way m the top

Yeah! All right!

Wait. We're going backwards.

Of course, silly.

We're going back in time,

not forward in time.

That makes sense.

Ozzy.

Ozzy, wake up. We're here.

It's still nighttime.

Maybe the train took us

back to last night

so that we can get a good night's

sleep for the audition.

- Hmm.

- Let me check my phone.

I'm not getting any reception

on my cellphone.

We went back too far,

way too far.

Quick, think of a rhyme

to go forward,

forward in time.

I had enough trouble

figuring out how to rhyme

the first time.

What rhymes with "forward"?

Augh. Nothing rhymes

with "forward."

Hmm.

On the train,

need to go forward.

Just take us away.

We don't want to stay.

Where are we?

I don't know.

We're still not in the present.

We're still seven years too early.

We didn't go anywhere.

This is our hometown newspaper.

We're not in Vegas.

- It's a $50 coupon.

- For what?

It's real.

- 50 bucks.

- Hmm.

I'm hungry. You hungry?

I'm a dog. I'm always hungry.

Let's go.

Boy, I didn't realize

how hungry I was.

That dog was scrumptious.

What's for dessert?

We have to get back

to the train soon,

but I'm a little thirsty.

We should stop and get

something to drink.

But we can't miss

the callbacks this time.

We gotta win.

Mom needs that money

to pay for the mortgage.

Otherwise, we're going

to be homeless.

Come on, Ozzy.

Excuse me.

Are you sure

you're okay to drive?

What's it to you, kid?

Look, I don't think it's safe for you

to be driving right now, mister.

What's it your business

you telling me what to do?

Why don't you call a cab?

You harassing me?

I'm gonna call the cops.

No. Look, I've got...

$30 left.

That should be enough

for a cab.

You're right, kid.

You really do care.

Someone does.

I gotta go, mister.

Thank you, kid. Thanks, dog.

Don't mention it.

Yeah, I need a cab.

It was good to do a good deed.

Ready to ride?

We're still too early,

so take us on a trip,

seven more years.

Let's go. Zip, zip, zip.

Getup, get up, get in

I'm going like a freight train

And I'm never gonna stop

Getup, get up, get in

I'm living in the moment

On the way m the top

Ozzy, we're here.

We made it.

Hmm.

I'm not sure...

Is this our Bobby that we liked?

Supposed to be magic,

right'? Uh...

Look, somethings wrong, okay?

I'm feeling a little weak.

Gargheon's got the key now.

It's taking away some of your power

from the book.

You need to concentrate.

Try harder.

Okay.

Here we go.

Ta-da.

Heh.

All right. Well,

that might've been enough magic

for today, all right?

Thank you.

Please, just give me a chance.

Look, I can create an illusion

that no one has ever seen before.

My sweet little magic man,

I'm going to tell you what I told

Jason Beiver

when I saw him perform

when he was just

seven years old.

- Oh, my.

- I said,

"Jason, you are like a bird

soaring through the air."

You're the bird.

Soaring high.

And that bird...

Has been shot.

- Right.

- Do you see?

And it falls, and ifs just...

It's feathers now,

and it's just...

It's flailing about

all over the ground.

- Ifs really sad.

- It's not good.

Okay. But you have wings, Bobby.

Use them.

And never give up

on your dreams.

Your dreams, Bobby.

Thank you. Next.

There he was,

I mean, began the weeping.

There he was,

I mean, began the weeping.

Just the excessive

little display of feeling.

What is that?

It's the parents.

It's the grandparents.

Excuse me! Wait!

It's our little magician.

Oh, yes, the dead bird.

Look, kid, I don't know

how to tell you this,

but you didn't make it, all right?

Perhaps if you work really hard,

you could perform at a casino

someday.

Ohh.

- Wait.

- Sorry.

Can't we talk this out?

Come on. Just give me a chance.

Wait!

Have you ever seen a dog

turn into a werewolf?

No.

All right, I have to admit

that was impressive,

but it's not even a full moon

or anything, so...

Yes. Yes.

You are absolutely right.

It is said that one

can only transform

in the light of a full moon.

An old tale has it

that the first werewolf

was spotted in a small-town village

in eastern Europe.

Legend has it that

the power of the full moon

caused the blood

of the would-be werewolves

to pump faster and harder,

forcing them to literally jump

out of their skins

to become the werewolf.

Please turn your attention

to the current crescent moon.

Let's make the perfect night

for a werewolf, shall we?

How did...

You know, let's make it

a blue moon at that.

Are you seeing that?

Okay, this is really weird.

I'm not sure how to take that.

I don't know how...

That can't be rigged up.

All right, kid.

Congratulations.

You made it to the finals.

- Let's go.

- That's good.

Yes.

Thank you, guys.

Congratulations.

I'm proud of you, kid.

Thanks.

This is the time

You made me believe in me

You made me believe in me

You made me shine

Taught me how

to spread my wings

Oh, darling

Oh, darling

We're gonna be great

on the show, Oz.
