Season #1 Episode #3: I Was a Teenage Abomination

---

King:
Yes, yes!

[banging on the door continues]

Eda:
Are you sure you need my help? Maybe he only wants more of your brilliant lessons.

[The door shatters as Prince Jr. bursts through and roars. He grabs King by the tail and drags him out of Eda's arms.]

King:
[squeals] Please help me! You can call me Mr. Wiggles!

[Eda stands, removing the shame hat and grabbing her staff. She smacks Prince Jr. in the face with the butt of her staff, making it release King. Prince Jr. retreats as King clings to Eda's leg.]

King:
[whimpers]

Eda:
Okay, Mr. Wiggles. Here's what we're gonna do.

[Cut to Hexside. Willow and Luz reach the central atrium, but doorways are still being sealed off. Shadows fall over them. They turn and gasp. Bump is there, directing abominations toward them. They run a bit and hide behind a pillar.]

Willow:
Oh, this is awful. [sinks to the ground] I don't know what to do. Amity's right. I'm just Half‐a‐Witch Willow.

Luz:
You're Full‐Witch Willow. And you're great. And someone once told me great witches are resourceful. [pulls out the contents of her pockets]

Willow:
That's it! [takes the slime ball]

Luz:
You mean that greasy slime ball?

Willow:
Luz, it's a seed! Thank goodness you had it on you.

Luz:
Yeah. Thank goodness someone told me to hold on to it.

Willow:
[puts the seed in her lap and traces a spell circle over it] Please grow!

[Thorny vines grow from the seed, reaching to the ceiling. They stab through abominations and eventually target Principal Bump, sending him to the ceiling and pinning him there.]

Principal Bump:
[gasps]

[Vines now cover the entire atrium, curled around pillars and reaching from the bottom most floor to the absolute ceiling. Pink petals fall from above, and several of the vines have flowers on them.]

Principal Bump:
Remarkable.

[The lights sealing off the hallways fades]

Luz:
There's the exit!

[Willow puts the seed on the floor and follows Luz to the exit.]

Amity:
[blocking the way] Not so fast!

[both gasp]

Amity:
I'm not letting you get away so easily. I want my badge! Abominations, seize!

[An abomination comes from behind them. Luz punches it through the chest, then takes Willow's wrist and runs. Amity reforms the abomination and sends it after them again. Luz and Willow now seem to have a clear path to freedom, but another abomination forms in front of them.]

Willow:
[screams]

Luz:
Whoa!

[The abomination staggers forward. Willow traces out a large spell circle, causing vines to trap the abomination.]

Willow:
Get outta here!

Luz:
No! I'm not leaving you.

Willow:
I may get detention, but you'll get dissected.

[The abominations from before melt through the vines, reforming and staggering toward the girls]

Willow:
So go!

[She waves a hand, summoning two vines to carry Luz over the abomination and out the door. The door slams after the vines retreat]

Luz:
Willow! [sighs] I can't save you right now. But I know someone who can! [runs off]

[Cut to Eda fighting Prince Jr. It spits lava at her, which she easily dodges. She smacks it in the face with her staff, twice. It backs her toward the front door. Meanwhile, King is pushing a barrel on the roof.]

Eda:
Pour the salt, now!

King:
Baby boy!

[Prince Jr. looks up at King, whimpering. Then it roars]

King:
I have no son. Eat salt!

[He shoves the entire barrel full of salt into Prince Jr.'s mouth. It shivers and makes noises of protest, before shrinking back to its original size. It whimpers as it runs off.]

King:
[dances] Yes, I did it! I'm amazing! Ahh!

[Eda catches him]

King:
[chuckles] You helped too. You are a good teacher.

Eda:
I wish Luz thought that too.

Luz:
[running toward them] Eda!

Eda:
Hey, hey, hey, hey! What is this? [Luz hugs her and King] Ugh! I never understand when you do this.

Luz:
Your lesson worked! Keeping junk in my pocket saved my life! [gasps] But wait. My new friends. They're in danger.

Willow:
Luz!

[Willow and Gus hug Luz, who happily returns it]

Eda:
Seriously, what is that?

Willow:
You won't believe it, Luz. Everything is perfect now!

Luz:
It's true. I don't believe it.

Willow:
Principal Bump was so impressed by my plant work he's switching me to the plant magic track! Look!

[She backs away and snaps her fingers. With a glow of green magic and a twirl, her sleeves and leggings go from magenta to green.]

Luz:
[hugs Willow again] Yes!

Willow:
[giggles]

Luz:
Whoo! Oh. What about Amity?

Gus:
Last we saw, she was asking Bump if today could count as extra credit.

Luz:
Well, I can't wait to see you in action next time I sneak in.

Gus:
Uh, about that. You're kinda, sorta... banned.

[He pulls out and unfurls a poster reading "BANNED" with a picture of Luz covered in abomination goo under it.]

Eda:
That's my girl!

Willow:
But we could come here and teach you what we learned.

Luz:
Aw. That would be nice. But... I have a pretty great teacher already.

Eda:
Yeah, that's right. Luz is my student. [steals the poster] Back off, academy twerps.

[all laughing]

Eda:
Ah, baby's first wanted poster. Good job, kid. [pats the top of Luz's head] Looks like I taught you something after all.

Gus:
Uh, you high five with your hands, not your head.
