The Lucky Penny

"The Lucky Penny" is the first segment of the seventeenth episode of the Disney Channel animated series, The Ghost and Molly McGee.
==Synopsis==
Molly and Scratch help Libby improve her luck on Friday the 13th, but both start to suffer extreme bad luck when their charm falls into the wrong hands.
==Plot==
Molly is excited because it is Friday, her favorite day. Unfortunately for Libby, it is Friday the 13th, the most unlucky day for her. Molly thinks it is ridiculous, but Scratch tells her that the curse of Friday the 13th is very real as on that particular day, all luck is amplified: people who are unlucky have quantified bad luck while people are are exceptionally lucky, such as Molly, have quantified good luck. Molly wants to help Libby by transferring her luck to her and Scratch (despite cautioning about powerful magic forces) reluctantly agrees after getting bribed with two bags of chips. Molly's luck is placed inside a penny and given to Libby. Throughout the day, Libby has amazingly good luck while Molly suffers from bad luck.
While walking home from school, Molly accidentally bumps into Libby who drops the penny and sends it flying into Andrea's purse, resulting in her luck expanding. Scratch reveals that due to the fact that Andrea was already lucky, the penny will quantify her luck to the point that it will start draining other people's luck and cause a extra-dimensional conflict. With Libby's luck getting worse, Molly and Scratch race off to try and get the penny back from Andrea, only to run into numerous moments of bad luck while she experiences magically realistic bouts of luck. In order to counteract her and get the penny back, Molly and Scratch are forced to recruit Libby again.
The trio trace Andrea to a grocery store where Libby confronts her. She asks that she donate to a cause, but while doing so, everything around her begins to fall apart. Andrea, completely oblivious, decides to donate (despite only having digital currency) and finds the penny and donates it, thus ending the threat and decreasing Andrea's luck back to normal. Outside the store, Libby admits that she would like her old luck back as good luck is too high stress for her. Scratch retransfers the luck back into Molly and things go back to normal; confirmed when Scratch explodes from the nachos and paper bags smack them all in the face.
