Season #1 Episode #14: Really Small Problems

---

Tibbles:
Place your bets and enjoy the show!

Gus:
Well, if I have to go, at least I'm with my best friends. And King.

[The unicorn whinnies and pounces at them. They all run. The unicorn growls.]

Eda:
Caramel Crab Apples. Get 'em hot and pinchy.

Man:
Hey, over here!

Eda:
Yeah, yeah. [winces] Hold your spider-horses.

[Gus creates an illusion of a vacuum, causing the animals to cower. Willow summons vines to tip over a water holder. The manticore steps through the illusion vacuum. The four take cover behind the water holder seconds before the manticore runs into it.]

Luz:
We've gotta--

[bang]

Luz:
--find a way out of here!

[Another bang. King looks around. Unicorns bite at both ends of the water holder, making Willow and Gus flinch. Luz ducks under the manticore's claws.]

King:
Ah, King, you idiot. This is all your fault. [pulls out friendship bracelets] But I think I know how to fix it.

[King runs out from cover. A unicorn watches him and chases him.]

Luz:
King?

King:
Willow, Gus, I'm sorry for poofing you. And Luz, I'm sorry for taking away your friends.

[A unicorn and the manticore advance on King, growling.]

King:
I know you'll eventually go home and now you're spending more time at school. I just... wanna be around you!

[King jumps and dodges all the animals and climbs to the rim of the cage.]

Student #1:
No!

Student #2:
Boo! Boo!

[crowd booing]

Tibbles:
[from atop his pile of snails] No refunds.

Tiny Terrors:
[whimpering]

King:
Alright. I only have one shot. [throws friendship bracelets] Nyah!

[The bracelets land on Tibbles's cheek.]

Tibbles:
Darn flies. [taps cheek] Oh, no.

[King, Luz, Willow, and Gus all begin to glow. Cut to Eda.]

Crowd:
[booing]

Eda:
Hey, hey. No discounts, buddy.

Man:
You guys owe me. There's nothing happening in this show.

Man #2:
Not a single one of those dumb kids have gotten hurt yet.

Eda:
Dumb kids? [turns and sees the screen] Wait. Those are my dumb kids!

[Luz, Gus, Willow, and King grow back to normal size.]

All:
[share look, sigh]

[Behind them, the animals also grow to full size.]

Luz:
You shrunk the animals too?

Tibbles:
It's the Tent of Tiny Terrors. Something needed to be tiny.

Crowd:
[booing]

Man:
Finish the job! Get them kids.

Student #3:
Feast!

[The student throws a crab apple at the buff unicorn, which catches and eats it. The unicorn looks happy. All animals turn to the crowd, growling. Two audience members share a look. The buff unicorn whinnies and raises a hoof. The animals charge forward. The crowd screams and flees.]

Tibbles:
They foiled my plans. You will pay for this! [pulls out another bottle] This time I'm gonna personally squash you!

Eda:
[takes bottle] Oh, no, Tibbles. That's not how entertainment works. [tosses bottle] The bad guy always gets his just desserts. [dumps the crab apples on him]

Tibbles:
Oh, no! Not desserts!

Eda:
[to the animals] Hey, girls. This one's on the house.

[The unicorns chase Tibbles out.]

Willow:
Looks like we ruined his life for a second time.

Gus:
We're on a roll.

King:
Gus, Willow, you're okay!

Luz:
All thanks to you, King. [kneels down] Here. [hands him four cracked pieces of the bracelets] It was all that was left.

King:
[takes them] It's... it's okay. Because now there's a piece for everybody. [holds two out to Willow and Gus] If you'll accept it, that is?

Willow:
Thank you, King.

Gus:
Yeah. I've always wanted to own a jagged piece of cheap metal.

Luz:
That's very sweet.

King:
I'm sorry, Luz. Demons do crazy things when they've been missing somebody.

Luz:
[whisper] And can I tell you a secret? I've been missing you too. [kisses]

King:
[giggles] Hey, we still have a few hours of carnival left. Wanna hit those bumper carcasses?

Luz:
You bread my mind.

King:
[laughs] Yes! Bread puns. Bread puns forever.

Luz:
You coming, Eda?

Eda:
[laying on Tibbles's pile of snails] Nah. I think I got everything I wanted.

[The stands collapse behind Eda.]

Eda:
Yep. Another great year at the carnival.

[Cut to the Owl House, where Hooty is talking to the fly.]

Hooty:
Boy, fly, we sure get into some wacky hijinks, don't we?

[The door opens, King, Eda, and Luz peek in.]

Hooty:
Sure feel sorry for anyone that missed seeing us two rabble-rousers getting into scrapes.

[Luz, Eda, and King all duck back out, closing the door.]

Hooty:
Good thing I brought a camera. Yep. Hooty and fly. Together forever. You and me. Every single day-- [coughs as the fly enters his mouth] Now I know what friendship taste like. Yum. Taste like a bug.
