Season #1 Episode #14: Really Small Problems

---

King:
Ahem.

Luz:
Oh, yeah. We're on a very important quest to win a special prize for King.

Willow:
Oh! We can help with that.

Gus:
Aw. Does the little guy wanna win a prize? Uh, does he? Uh, does he? [cooing, waves his finger at King]

King:
Nyeh! [knocks Gus's finger away]

Luz:
What do you think, King? The more the merrier, huh?

King:
Um, sure. Whatever you want, Luz.

Luz:
All right. Approval!

Willow, Luz, & Gus: [cheering]

[The three of them jog away. King tries to keep up and trips. Montage: Willow rolls a skee-ball into the machine's mouth. Luz and Gus cheer her on and the three of them run off. King arrives and gets hit with the ball when the machine spits it at him; the four of them are walking when they notice a picture board. They all stick their heads through the holes, but King is stuck with being the trashcan; Luz takes a bite out of a fried orb and hands it to Willow. She takes a small bite out of it and hands it to Gus. He eats the rest of it, leaving none for King, who had been between Willow and Gus; Luz, Willow, and Gus are leaning against a stand.]

Willow:
So the pixie infestation was actually caused when Boscha's pet pixie escaped its cage...

Luz:
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

[King jumps and grunts, trying to actually play the booth. He finally latches onto the edge of the booth but falls back.]

King:
[screams, grunts] Curse these stubby legs!

Gus, Willow, & Luz: [laugh]

[King walks away. Fade to King sitting on the stoop of a narrow booth next to a poster that reads "CARNIVAL best with friends," with a drawing of three witches on it.]

King:
[looks at poster, sighs]

Tibbles:
[in disguise] Oh, my, my, my. You seem troubled.

King:
Weh? Who said that?

Tibbles:
It is I. Obvioso, the all-seeing psychic.

King:
Haven't I seen you somewhere? It's almost so...

Tibbles:
Obvious?

King:
That's what I was gonna say. Wow! You really are psychic.

Tibbles:
You're right. And Obvioso can see that something is bothering you, little friend.

King:
[sighs] You got my number, Obvioso. Today was supposed to be about me and Luz, see? But now she's distracted by her cool new school friends.

Tibbles:
What if I were to tell you that there was a way to make all those problems... disappear?

King:
I'd say that sounds illegal. I would also say go on.

Tibbles:
[ducks into booth and laughs; grabs potion bottle with spray nozzle] Behold!

[Tibbles sprays a nearby creature on a perch with the potion. It disappears in a flash of pink light.]

King:
Holy bones! You poofed it. Call the cops! This guy's crazy!

Tibbles:
[chuckles] Hey. The spray is only temporary. I just give my cheeks a tap and then...

[Tibbles taps his cheeks twice. The creature reappears, visibly terrified.]

Tibbles:
...it returns safe and sound.

[The creature squawks and lays an egg. The egg cracks and a baby creature chirps.]

Tibbles:
Take this. [hands King the bottle] Enjoy the carnival without the problems. Luz, Willow, and Gus will be none the wiser.

King:
Whoa! You even know their names. Guess there's no use arguing with a fortune-teller. Thanks, Obvioso. [walks away]

Tibbles:
[laughs, takes off fake mustache]

King:
Hey.

[King returns. Tibbles holds the mustache back up.]

King:
Sidenote: in the future, do I ever find love?

Tibbles:
Uh... yes?

King:
[laughs, leaves again]

Tibbles:
[sighs]

[Cut to King walking, looking at the bottle in his hands.]

King:
Hmm, maybe I should think about this first.

Luz:
King!

[King shoves the bottle in his fanny pack.]

Luz:
Sorry we lost you back there, little dude.

King:
Hey, it's okay. [grabs Luz's hand] Let's go back to the games and win those bracelets.

Gus:
[grabs Luz's other hand] But we haven't gone on any rides and there's no line for the bumper carcasses.

King:
Games!

Gus:
Carcasses!

King:
Games!

Gus:
Carcasses!

[Luz's stomach growls loudly. They all look at it.]

Luz:
Food! I'm gonna crab some rotten candy while you guys figure this out. [runs] Bye!

Willow:
[to Gus] When Luz comes back let's go on the three-man cauldron spinner.

Gus:
Or the triple swing.

Willow:
Oh, and that's close to those photo booths that can fit exactly three people.

King:
But today was me and Luz's day.

Gus:
Aw. Does the little baby boo miss his buddy Luz? [picks King up]

Willow:
[chuckles]

Gus:
Uh, does he? Uh, does he?

King:
[grunts] The King of Demons misses nobody.

Gus:
[laughs]

King:
I demand you put me down!

[The potion falls out of King's pouch. It lands on the ground and sprays Willow and Gus.]

Willow & Gus: What?

[Willow and Gus disappear.]

King:
Oh, no! What have I done?

Luz:
Wow. I guess they really wanted to ride those bumper carcasses.

King:
Actually, Luz. There's something I gotta tell you.

Luz:
No. There's something I gotta tell you, King. [pauses] I said I'd help you win those friendship bracelets. So win them we shall, okay?

King:
Uh... [whisper] Willow and Gus will be okay for a little while, right?

Luz:
What was that?

King:
Nothing. Now let's go! [chuckles]

Luz:
Ready or not, here we crumb.

King:
Yes! Ha ha!

[Camera pans down to Willow and Gus, who have actually shrunk and not disappeared]

Gus:
First, I'm growing out of my clothes. Now I'm shrinking? Dang, puberty. You're the craziest coaster of 'em all.

Willow:
Ugh.

Gus:
[screams] What happened to us? Did I black out on the molar coaster again?

Willow:
Sketchy carnival rides are not to blame this time. King had something in his pouch that made us small.

Gus:
And I just got tall enough for the rides! [sobs]

[A shadow falls over them.]

Willow:
Gus...

[The creature that Tibbles sprayed before is now standing in front of them.]

Creature:
[roars]

Gus:
Ah!

[Willow grabs Gus' hand and runs to a styrofoam cup. Willow moves it so they're standing under it.]

Gus:
I think we're safe now.

[A tongue pierces the cup three times.]

Willow & Gus: [scream]

Gus:
Ew! [hugs Willow]

Willow:
Enough of this!

[Willow's eyes glow green. Vines sprout from the ground and grab onto the creature's tongue, trapping it on the cup. Willow and Gus run to a dropped rotten candy.]

Willow:
Quick! We have to find Luz and get her attention before any more carnival animals hunt us down.

[Willow grabs some rotten candy and whistles. A fly lands and eats the rotten candy.]

Willow:
Eat up, my stead. Lead us to safety. [climbs onto the fly]

Gus:
It's so hairy. Why is it so hairy?

Willow:
Because up close, everything is hairy. [grabs Gus and flies away]

Gus:
[yelps]

[Cut to Eda's stand.]

Eda:
Round as the moon, her ears are, with mood swings as terrifying as night itself. Now, [holds up a fidget spinner] who wants to touch an outdated human reference? [spins it]

[The people at her stand pull out snails.]

Citizen #1:
I do.

Citizen #2:
Me.

Clown Guard:
Okay, show's over. This witch doesn't have a license.

Citizen #2:
I can't do time again!

Citizen #1:
Run!

Eda:
Ah, what are you? The fun police?

Clown Guard:
Yes! [squeaks badge that reads "Fun Police" And you're coming with me. [hits squeaky night stick against palm]
