Season #1 Episode #6: Hooty's Moving Hassle

---

Luz:
But--

[Willow and Gus run up.]

Willow:
Luz! What did Eda say?

Luz:
So...guys...

Gus:
Oh, look! [points upwards] The moon is rising into place. And the celestial powers only align once a year.

Willow:
Oh, I can't believe I finally have enough friends for a moonlight conjuring! Thank you, Luz! Did Eda say it was okay?

Luz:
Uhm...yes. She said yes. We can do it at the Owl House. As long as we don't make a mess or touch anything and never bring up that we did it! [nervous laugh]

Gus:
Yes!

Willow:
Oh, you're the best!

Willow & Gus: [singsong] We're gonna do a conjuring! We're gonna do a conjuring! Conjuring! Conjuring!

[Luz looks at the moon nervously.]

[Cut to the Owl House that night, where crickets are chirping. Luz is sitting on the couch watching Eda.]

Eda:
Luz, you're in charge while I'm out. [puts cloak on] Make sure Hooty doesn't get into any trouble.

Hooty:
[muffled] Hoot hoot! [opens door] I don't need a babysitter. I'm a big boy house!

Luz:
You can count on me; I'd never betray your hard-earned trust. [nervous laugh]

Eda:
You're acting suspicious. You're doing that thing where you hide in your hoodie.

Luz:
[she now has her hood up and closed] Meow I'm not. Uh... [pushes hood down] Oh, where's King?

Eda:
He's right here.

[She opens her cloak to reveal King, snoring, strapped in a pink baby carrier.]

Eda:
His little body just conks out when he's weightless. Look at this.

[She moves side to side, King not waking as he moves like a ragdoll.]

Luz:
Aww, he's so dangly. [plays with his feet]

Eda:
[walks outside] Anyway, really going now. And Luz...

[Luz grows nervous.]

Eda:
[menacing tone] ...if you mess up the house, I will never trust you again. [lighter tone] No pressure! Bye!

[Owlbert hoots as Eda flies away. Luz waves after them for a few seconds.]

Luz:
Ay. Should I really be doing this? No, no, Willow is counting on you. [whispering] Okay, she's gone.

Willow:
Release!

[Two bushes glow and explode, revealing Willow and Gus in their casual clothes.]

Willow:
I'm a sneaky sneakster!

Gus:
I've got leaves in my pants...and I like it.

[Luz leads them inside.]

Hooty:
Company! Hooray! Finally someone to listen to my stories! Okay, one time, a sparrow flew into my mouth, and then I--

[door shuts]

Hooty:
Hey...

[He coughs out a sparrow, which flies away chirping. Cut to inside.]

Luz:
Welcome to, the living room. We call it that because it's technically living! The walls are breathing, look.

[A wall is moving with heavy breaths. Willow looks at it closer.]

Willow:
Enchanting.

Gus:
[rummaging through a chest] And look at all these human treasures. [pulls out a skull] And actual humans!

Luz:
We've got snacks, we've got weird music!

[She puts the needle down on a gramophone, which produces an evil cackle. Gus walks up to her with a bucket on his head.]

Gus:
We've got a bucket!

Luz:
Gus, my man.

Willow:
And best of all we have actual friends to do the conjuring with! This is so exciting!

Luz:
So how does this conjuring stuff work?

Willow:
Well first, we find something to animate. Since it's our first time we should pick something meaningful. [walks over to some flowers] Something beautiful.

Gus:
[bursts through the flowers with an action figure] Like this strangely buff little man? [taps the figure's stomach]

Beefy Bob:
I'm half beef, half Bob!

Luz:
Yes! He's perfect!

Willow:
That's not exactly what I meant by "beautiful".

[Gus lowers the action figure, whimpering and looking hurt.]

Willow:
Okay, buff boy it is.

Luz:
Yes! [hugs Willow]

Gus:
Tonight he shall be risen!

[Cut to the moon rising in the sky. Gus places Beefy Bob on the ground between the three of them. There are several lit candles around them.]

Willow:
According to the conjuring books I've read, we say the incantation and make a connection with the doll.

[They all hold hands.]

Gus:
Figurine.

Willow & Gus: Moonlight, we call, we sing. Moonlight take this chance. Moonlight come tie the string. Moonlight start the dance!

Luz:
Moonlight tie... string... and I don't know the words!

[The moon continues rising. Hooty looks up at it. The moon stops moving, and a burst of blue light comes out of it. A similar burst of blue light bursts out from between Willow, Luz, and Gus, spreading around the living room and extinguishing the candles. They all open one eye and look at Beefy Bob.]

Gus:
That's your cue little man.

[The entire house rumbles. Hooty blinks, his eyes turning the same blue. ]

Hooty:
[ghostly noises]

[Birds fly away from the house while cawing. The foundation cracks as the Owl House rises. The three kids scream as they loose their balance. The Owl House stops rising, now standing on giant bird legs. Cut to the living room, now in great disarray.]

Luz:
Guys? [a book falls on her head] Did the entire house just hiccup?

Gus:
Little buff guy, what did you do?

Beefy Bob:
A real man never takes accountability!

Willow:
No, I think-- I think we might've animated the house by accident!

Luz:
The house?

Hooty:
[ghostly noises]

[Luz runs outside and nearly falls off the ledge. Gus and Willow join her outside as the House begins to walk. They all scream. The door slams shut.]

Luz:
[running up to the door] Hooty? Hooty! Hooty, you have to stop!

Hooty:
By the power of moonlight, I have risen. Hoot hoot.

Gus:
He's in some kind of trance!

[The House steps through two trees. The jostling makes Gus yell as he and Luz lose their balance. He nearly falls off, but Luz and Willow catch him.]

Willow & Luz: Gus!

Willow:
Our magic must've spread through the house instead of the doll!

Gus:
Figurine!

[Luz and Willow grunt as they try to not drop Gus. They both nearly fall and grab the other's hand for balance. The glow returns.]

Luz:
Hooty, stop!

[The House stops moments before it would have walked off a cliff. Luz and Willow pull Gus back up to safety and they all let go of each other, staring at their hands.]

Gus:
How'd we do that?

[They all look at the moon.]

Luz:
Willow, Gus, hold hands again.

[They do, glowing once again. The Owl House takes several steps away from the cliff.]

Willow:
We're controlling it with the power of friendship. Uh, and the moon. Probably the moon.

Gus:
This is amazing! What do we do now?

[The glow fades.]

Luz:
On the one hand, we should probably stay put.

Gus:
On the other hand, we've got a giant walking house and should totally take it on a joyride!

[Luz looks at the now-descending moon.]

Luz:
Okay, okay, but we gotta be back before the moon sets or Eda will kill me.

[Cut to them directing the house forward, cheering.]

Gus & Luz:
Yeah! Joyride!

Demon Hunter #1:
[growls]

[Cut to a sign that reads "NIGHT MARKET," behind a pair of pikes with skulls on them. Every stand at the market is bathed in red light. Eda walks through the center passage of the market before stopping.]

Eda:
[sighs, covers the feathers that grew] The curse. I need that elixir. Quick. [sees a demon sitting next to a crate] Hey, you. You know where I can find a Grimm Hammer?
