## Synopsis

Lulu and Annie see the boys hosting a cannon ball act at their clubhouse. They hop off the swings to go see it for only ten cents, with Lulu commenting how the cannon is only just a barrel that would give Tubby splinters. He tells her that if it doesn't work, they will give her her money back, which is a deal. Lulu, Annie, and Alvin watch as Tubby climbs in, and then Willie pulls the rope, causing smoke to shoot out of the cannon and Iggy announces Tubby is flying. The audience states they didn't see anything, and call it fake. Lulu even tries looking in the barrel but can't find a thing. Tubby runs back and they do it again, and Lulu still doesn't see anything and still doesn't believe it.

When Lulu and Annie walk past Nate's Sweet Shop, they see the boys laughing about how they are scamming the three with a fake stunt. The two get to the bottom of it, and run back to the site. They move the cannon to find a hole and a tunnel, but find nothing in the grass. The next time they shoot Tubby, he takes a long time coming back. Willie and Iggy think that he got stuck in the tunnel, and lift the cannon up to find him searching for the hole. Lulu busts them but Iggy tells her that Tubby was just resting. Alvin jumps and shouts "Fake!" until he falls in a hole in the grass.

They recover him as he comes out of another door hidden under a pile of leaves. Lulu scolds them and explains that they couldn't the hole because she moved the cannon. Tubby asks if they want their money back, but she tells them it was a good trick. Alvin wants to see it again, and Tubby states it now costs 2 cents.

Suddenly, Mrs. Tompkins' tire goes flat, and she has to call the garage because she has no spares. Tubby gets relieved, but Lulu says the theater is a few blocks down, so they walk there, with Tubby moving around secretly and paranoid. He spots the West Side Boys, so the two go hide in the store, and Tubby pretends to be a bunny statue.

Using a green balloon, they take a ride to the forest. CeCe asks how many cotton balls they need to find again, with a voice saying "four". It is a frog who is playing golf and making the balls fly. The balls happen to be cotton balls, that float in the air when they are swung. CeCe quickly catches them all, some even get stuck in trees and CeCe has to use a tire swing to swing up, and also gets one climbing up a tree using five branches. The five branches, are actually five sticks. Spyler uses the rope from the swing to pull the sticks off, then they get Wheeler to carry their amount of stuff home.

Wheeler drives them into the town, where CeCe sees a dog walking by with it's owner, making her get out. The dog comes by and runs around CeCe, making her think it'd want to play with hr. She gets tied in the dog's leash, which is actually the blue ribbon. In exchange, Spyler gives the dog the swing rope instead.

The shadow moves, and they realize it is coming from a six hanging from the streetlight. Spyler uses a firetruck ladder to climb up and get it, then they yell for Wheeler.

## Summary

Esme and Roy look at clouds in the sky. Esme sees one that look like a horse, and Roy sees circular clouds looking like meatballs which gives Esme the impression he is hungry. The MonsterCase tells them that they will be watching Snugs.

The Monster Sitters get to Snugs' home. Snugs hugs Esme, who does say that Snugs gives the best hugs because of how fluffy he is. It starts raining, and his mother hopes it won't thunder as Snugs is scared of thunder. Roy says that they will keep a good eye on him while she's gone. Roy mentions to Esme that something will happen if Muzzywumps like him get scared. Esme guesses incorrectly, but what really happens is that they puff up, which is indeed what happens when Snugs hears thunder.

Esme and Roy sing to Snugs, and with the help of The MonsterCase, they show him some funny hats and props. Esme then asks if he would like to read a book, which he is fine with as along as Esme does the reading. Esme reads him a favorite book about a brave knight. As she reads, Snugs gets lower and lower. It is about a knight who isn't scared of anything, not even a purple dragon in the story. It works fine until he hears thunder again and he puffs right back up. Roy has an idea and thinks he should do his tap dance routine, but it won't do any good when Snugs has gets bigger. This results in Snugs' Monster Meltdown. Esme sings to him, saying to tell himself "I am Snugs & I am brave!". Snugs repeats himself.

Snugs and the two others get creative and make a castle, as well as making equipment for Snugs' knight costume. Roy dresses up as a dragon. Snugs hears thunder again, but Esme tells him that it is just Roy roaring. Roy synchronizes his roars with the thunder. Esme and Snugs jump on Roy and tickle him to stun the dragon. Soon, Snugs' mom comes back and knows he is frightened, but Snugs states that there is no thunder, just dragon roars, and he is a brave knight. Back at home, Roy says that being a dragon made him braver too, and nothing could scare him. Esme tries to scare him, and does so successfully when she jokingly says they are out of meatballs.

Esme and Roy play with her when they hear Tillie's stomach growl. Tillie says she isn't hungry and wants to continue playing.

Esme then has an idea to bring her lunch outside. The MonsterCase brings out a picnic with lunch plates, which works when Tillie takes a bite. But she gets up and leaves. Esme gets another idea, and declares a roaring contest. Tillie wins it and wins the prize, which is lunch. Tillie nonetheless still wants to play, and slowly starts losing energy.

**A Wrong Move** is the 36th episode of the series *The Little Lulu Show* that aired on May 18, 1996. It's sister episodes are *The Case of the Missing Wig* and *Frog Legs*.

## Synopsis

Mr. Moppet is downstairs pounding wood off, which is making the house shake, that he is using for a bookshelf because buying wood is too expensive. Lulu comes down and he asks her to get her mother, but the ceiling breaks and she falls down, which means he has no choice but to get wood.

Lulu sees the Fellers, who are on the sidewalk hosting a "club meeting", so she tries to ask if they have wood because of their clubhouse, but they don't take her question because she isn't a member. She asks if she can be a member but they don't accept girls, peeving her and Annie off. They spot a sign that reads "stores will be built on this spot" placed in front of an old building, so they take it and stamp it in front of the Fellers' clubhouse. Tubby decides that they can move the clubhouse to one's backyard if they let them be a member, and immediately banks on Lulu. His pals automatically disagree on this, but don't when they do know that it is the only way to save the house. Tubby makes Lulu the president, and also makes Annie a member, then tells them to come back after lunch for their first meeting.

Later on, the boys pick up their clubhouse and puts it on top of wagons, then tells Lulu to lead the way. Lulu and Annie pull the large house as the boys sit on the wagon on the road, until she tells them she'll lead them to a shortcut, letting go of the rope which causes them to roll down uncontrollably on the busy road, until they crash exactly at Lulu's house where the girls meet them there. Officer McNab gives them a five-dollar ticket for speeding and also for taking his uniform. They wonder where they will get five dollars to pay for it, when Mr. Moppet comes up and says he will happily pay five dollars for wood and gives Tubby a $5 bill, that McNab snatches anyway. Tubby scolds Lulu for tricking them, but she states because she's the president of the club, she can do anything she wants and asks how many lumps of sugar he wants in his tea at a tea table.

**Animal Magic** is the 19th episode of the series *The Worst Witch* that aired on December 9, 1999.

## Summary

It is the start of the summer term and there's a blizzard raging outside Cackle's Academy. The girls are all desperately trying to stay warm and Miss Drill tries to get the blood flowing by having the girls jog around the school. Meanwhile, Mrs Tapioca is having problems with a rat in the kitchen. Amidst all the chaos, who should arrive seeking shelter from the weather, but Chief Wizard Hellibore, Algernon Rowan-Webb and three wizard apprentices Baz, Gaz and Merlin.

Hellibore (a bit put out that Rowan-Webb started a snowball fight with him) immediately lights a fire for everyone to warm up by. Algernon is in a particularly mischievous mood and in order to cheer everybody up, pronounces the day to be an upside-down day. Everything is turned on its head; teachers and pupils change places and there are games instead of lessons. Everyone who's not a student (including Hellibore and excepting Rowan-Webb) is disgusted. But never the less, they all go along with it. Barry and Gary are assigned to organize games in the Great Hall, and Fenella and Griselda are assigned to teach a potions class full of teachers.

Barry and Gary's idea of a fun game is a version of hot potato where the box they're passing always explodes on either Merlin or Mildred (which earns them the instant friendship of Ethel and Drusilla). Meanwhile, in Fenny and Gris's potion class, the teachers are working on an anti-gunge potion in groups of two. The only one really enjoying himself is Algernon. Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom are doing miserably, and just as they try to cheat off Bat and Drill their "teachers" call time up, and fling green slime at everyone.

At lunch the wizards continue to argue about whose fault it was that the potion went awry, one thing leads to another, and Algernon calls a shape-changing contest between himself and Hellibore. It goes on for a while in the great hall until Rowan-Webb turns himself into a mouse, and is threatened by The Chief Wizard in the shape of an owl. He escapes to the kitchen where he is in equal danger from Mrs Tapioca's cat. Mildred and Merlin rescue him, and as a thank you, Algernon invites Mildred and her class to his riverside retreat where he has decided to retire.
An Unforgettable Experience

**An Unforgettable Experience** is the 28th episode of the series *The Worst Witch* that aired on November 16, 2000.

## Summary

Mildred and Maud are sent on work experience to Cosie's cafe, which they are looking forward to, until they discover that Ethel and Drusilla are also doing work experience there. For the same weekend, the rest of the third years are subjected to Miss Drill's outdoor survival training. Mrs. Cosie leaves the girls in charge of the cafe while she goes to the doctor's, and Ethel, being Ethel, takes charge of everyone, and everyone grumbles about how she's not pitching in to help clean up. Ethel then takes the opportunity to transform the cafe from an old-fashioned tea shop into a modern French Patisserie. A group of Japanese tourists show up; Ethel magics up some food for the tourists, and keeps bossing everyone around.

All seems to go well until the Grand Wizard arrives with Baz and Gaz and demands a traditional English tea. Hellibore wants cream tea, but Ethel tries to give him some foreign, chocolaty pastry. Much to his chagrin, the tour group snaps about a million pictures of him in the process. Miss Hardbroom, meanwhile, lures Miss Cackle off in the direction of the tearoom with the promise of cheesecake if she performs a surprise inspection. Ruby and Jadu get awfully tired of Miss Drill's assault course through the forest and plan to sneak away. Unfortunately, before they can recruit Enid to go with them, she falls in the river. Ruby and Jadu arrive at Cosie's to discover chaos has developed between the angry customers and the girls.

Hellibore has sent Baz and Gaz into the kitchen to see what's taking so long with his cream tea. The girls are having a food fight in the kitchen with the wizards, and the cafe is full of angry Japanese tourists demanding a traditional English tea- and Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom are on their way to the cafe! Meanwhile, Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom find out that Ruby and Jadu went missing, and anticipate finding them at the tearoom. Mrs. Cosie returns and orders everything to be put right, which the girls do just in time for Miss Cackle and Miss Hardbroom's arrival. Miss Hardbroom and Miss Cackle show up, and Mrs. Cosie doesn't say a word about all the magic.

She reads the first thing they do is to play games with their younger siblings. Snugs remembers when his mother played peekaboo with him and would like to try that. Esme shows him how to do it which startles him. When he tries it, he scares Roy too. Snugs doesn't think he is able to do it right, so they then practice feeding with Roy.

Remembering how his mother fed him, Snugs uses the spoon as an airplane but he gets carried away and zips around the kitchen, till he splats the food on Roy. Finally they try to practice getting the baby to sleep with a teddy bear. Snugs puts it carefully in the crib, and rocks it slowly. But when he starts singing, he sings loudly and even adds in his tambourine. Esme suggests he sings a lullaby, but it ends up putting himself to sleep instead.

Esme gives him her hugging pillow. Snugs really wants to be a good brother, and Roy mentions to Esme that he would make one for sure as he is a great little Muzzywump. This gives her an idea and says that Snugs can make a brother book of his own. Snugs likes it. He takes pictures and makes drawings for his book, and his baby brother finally arrives with his mom.

## Summary

Spyler and CeCe are setting up a puppet theater, cutting out a shoe box and adding curtains. When they finish, they need an audience to watch their show, so they ask the Dominoes if they can come, with the Domino General wondering what will the show be about. Spyler and CeCe haven't decided yet, so CeCe tells them it's a surprise. They still aren't unsure what to do, as they can't do Cinderella cause they only have a house slipper that CeCe likes to chew on, and they can't do The Three Little Pigs due to their being only two pigs in the audience. They tell Duck their situation, so she lists some things for them to find today: a polka dot sock, a flower that's blue, a nut in a shell, and a green sponge too.

The duo heads off to the forest, wondering what show Duck wants them to do. CeCe sniffs something yummy, and follows the smell to a polka dotted table where two ladybugs, named Polka and Dot, are having a tea party. They ask for help to pour tea into their cups, because they are too small to lift the teapot. Spyler agrees to do it, and they find the polka dot sock on the polka dot teapot nozzle. Spyler asks if he can borrow it, but they tell him he can't borrow it - but instead he can have it. Next they venture off to find the blue flower. Two cats run by playing with a ball of string, which wraps around Spyler's leg. They toss it off and into the bushes, causing Spyler to fall down into the nearby flowers, where surely he finds the blue one.
Wheeler is woken up to take the flower and sock to the theater.

Spyler and CeCe take the I Spy Express to the cave. Spyler comments at all the rocks he sees in there that would fit his rock collection. CeCe asks if some of the rocks she finds would fit, then finds a funny shaped rock, which is actually a peanut, or the nut in the shell they need. When they exit, Spyler trips on a skateboard and drops the nut, but luckily it falls onto the bouncy, green sponge. Spyler thinks and finally realizes what show they could do with their objects, which is The Princess and the Peanut.

It starts with a prince looking for a princess, so he does a peanut test to the princesses and puts a peanut under their mattress. The sock princess wakes up and says her night was awful, and it felt like she was sleeping under a rock. The prince says she passed the test and will marry her, but she doesn't want to get married and eats the peanut, then she opens a successful peanut factory, ending the story. Spyler wonders what the blue flower was for since they haven't used it, so CeCe hops up the top of the stage and gives it to the puppets, and the polka dot sock eats it.

## Summary

Spyler and CeCe, as well as a couple of others, get ready to perform at a circus. CeCe decides to be a clown, but she finds out there is already a clown. Spyler tries to come up with an act the duo can perform together, but he can't think of anything that would work. Duck drives in to give them a hint on what they have to find for an act: a straw, a yellow bird that sings, a tennis racket, and two gold rings.

They start to go on their adventure, but CeCe wants to play on the playground for a quick minute. Spyler climbs up the slide and goes down, and accidentally trips on the straw. When they acquire it, they head into the forest to find a bird. They spot a nest on the ground near a tree, so CeCe heads on the top of a tree to put it back, and sure enough, a yellow bird is up there, but now they wonder how they will get it down. CeCe just asks if it would like to be in the circus, and the bird flies down immediately. Using the straw, Spyler and CeCe cross the stream. Spyler jokes that CeCe has a funny face because it is checkered, from the shadows of the large tennis racket. While discussing what they should do for the act, they find the bird in a bucket hanging above using rings. They get the rings down, and call for Wheeler.

Wheeler takes them to the circus which has started. A couple of performers do their acts, and so does Spyler and CeCe, who are on a tightrope, and the yellow bird who flies in Spyler's rings. Spyler says that a circus isn't complete without popcorn, and it starts to rain popcorn.

## Stats

## Synopsis

Auditions for a school play are being held, with Rainbow and Blue trying out, but none get picked. Chomper picks on Rainbow for being a wimp and trying out a dumb play, and is ready to stuff Rainbow in his locker, but the play director sees him and marvels, and asks to be in the play, A Catfish Named Shella. Chomper and Stingo laugh about it and swim off. Rainbow, however, sees this as an advantage that Chomper would be too busy to pick on him and Blue. Outside, the two laugh and then tell him about the advantages about being in the play, such as rehearsing and skipping classes, and gets an A for the year. The girls saying that actors are so dreamy makes his choice.

At rehearsal, Chomper practices a scene where he meets Shella, but often has trouble remembering simple words that finish sentences. Then, for his musical number, Chomper sings which causes Stingo to cringe and even breaks the director's glasses. After practice, Stingo asks Chomper if he wants to go riptiding, but he turns it down because he doesn't want to ruin his "instrument", a scarf. Stingo swims off, and the director asks Chomper if he could put in some extra rehearsal time after school. When he swims for Stingo, the director tells him to practice with a fish who's been in a lot of plays, and that's Ruby. Rainbow worries that Chomper will now be in his house.

At Rainbow's house, Ruby tells Chomper to "project his voice", so he speaks louder much to the annoyance of Rainbow. He also is annoyed at how Chomper ate all his cereal, but Ruby tells him to not worry about her whiny brother. At Wanda's, Rainbow grieves how he lost his house, while Stingo also grieves how he lost his pal. The two team up and come up with a plan. At school, they talk to Chomper, who is signing autographs, about how the large crowd of fish love to see a fish screw up on stage and will laugh and point, causing Chomper to worry. On opening night, Chomper refuses to do the play, also worrying the director. But he gives the leading part to Stingo, who said he memorized the lines so much he can say them in his sleep.

In the end, he gets a large applause and even flowers. The director also congratulates him, but tells him there's a bit of things to fix. Stingo tells Rainbow that he'll be at his house to practice with Ruby, much to his dismay. Chomper tells Rainbow that this was all his fault and how he ruined his acting career, and tells him that he'll be serving him a fin sandwich tomorrow. Rainbow calls this an "unhappy ending", and the curtain lifts down.
