School's Day-Back/Transcript

Haley: Am I ready?

Jack: Of course you’ll be. You’ve learned 2 new spells. You can’t fail now.

Haley: I’m kinda scared.

Jack: I’ve gotta do it too! Don’t worry, you got this.

Teacher: Okay, next up is… Haley Flower. Now, please present your 2 spells you have learned over your break.

SFX: (Spells cast)

Teacher: Impressive. 2 spells casted at once. Not many people can do that. So, you are confirmed for the Plant Track tomorrow. Next up is Jack Flower.

Jack: Here are my spells.

SFX: (Spells cast)

Teacher: Great job. You are confirmed for the Potion Track tomorrow.

Jack: Okay. Well, I guess.

Bell: (Screams)

Illusion Teacher: That is the tour of Hidden Academy. Now, class begins at 9. See you tomorrow.

Haley, later: (Yawns) Good night.

Jack, next day: (Yawn, crick) Ooh, yeah.

Haley: Hey, Jack! So, what track did you make it into?

Jack: Potion Track.

Haley: Ooh, imagine the power of potions and plants! We can make a plant potion!

Aada: Yeah, you can’t exactly do that nowadays.

Haley: Wait, why?

Aada: People performed magic of all types. Illusions and curses, plants and knowledge. It all got into a horrible jumble. One day, a powerful witch named Riz came in search of peace here. He had said that wild magic in the Magic Ages was loose, so he sealed up all magic, where every witch had to have only 1 type of magic. No more, no less. So, that’s why that isn’t allowed.

Haley: You just explained the fact that 1 person can only have 1 magic, but not 2 people working together with 2 types of magic.

Aada: True. I’m not saying that’s what you should do, because if we disobey him, people say it’s quite difficult to live after what he’s going to do to you.

Haley: Well, that’s crazy.

Jack: Yep, and creepy.

Aada: So don’t go testing him. I need to keep both of you. Go get ready.

SFX: (Stairs creaking)

Hidden: (Grunts)

Aada: Um, why should I do that?

Hidden: (Grunting)

Aada: Okay, no. You won’t do that. (Casts spell)

Hidden: (Deep voice) Then you underestimate me. You know what I used to be, correct?

Aada: Yes. But you’re this now.

Hidden: (Deep voice) Okay, do you want me to steal Haley again? Cause I can. You think locking me in this will keep me from coming? No, it won’t. Now, tell her about the curse!

Aada: Be quiet, Hidden. So, you think I can only do magic to help people.

Hidden: (Deep voice) Oh, you’re too nice to hurt me. Now, I can tell you what I can do. Just as long as Haley knows.

Haley: Knows what? What do I need to know?

Aada: Oh, nothing. This Hidden’s just being a pain to me. Now, go off.

Haley, later: (Sighs) Aada’s hiding something. Not sure what, but might have to do with the curse.

Bookly: What has to do about it?

Haley: Oop. Hey, Bookly. So, why are you here? I thought you joined the Knowledge subtrack.

Bookly: Yeah, I did! Though there was no knowledge or language kind of track, I had to join another track. What’s better to have someone listen to stories?

Haley: The Trapplant. Even though it doesn’t have a mind, it still acts a little humanoid. If you have the urge to read, grow one at home. They have seeds that grow once a month. And before the next month, they drop, so collect one the next time they drop.

Bookly: Wow, since when did you ever get so smart about plants?

Haley: Well, I’ve just been studying. Can’t exactly say.

Bookly: You know, sometime in Spelltember, there’s a knowledge competition for each track. Every track member has to go head to head with one another. They ask one question, and whoever gets the answer right first goes to the next round. Once the final 2 in each track are found, the winner is the Knowledge member, supporting knowledge for their fellow track members. Also, I found it in a book.

Haley: You like books. It’s great. Now, I really haven’t seen you do it, so can I come to your next one?

Bookly: We’ll have to ask that to Dewey.

Jack: (Yawns)

Maia: (Whispering) Let me guess, boring creating potions?

Jack: (Whispering) Yep. Don’t know how boring it could get.

Maia: Judging by how bored you are, I’m guessing you think Riz’s rules are useless. They’re not. We’ve been doing it for a while, and we’re alive. So, what’s wrong with his rules?

Jack: Well, nothing’s wrong with it. I just think we should be able to combine magic. What’s wrong with that?

Maia: You do that, and Riz is mean. So watch out.

Jack: (Sighs)

Maia: Don’t worry, we’re able to combine potions. That’s what potion-making is all about!

Jack: Well, it’s kinda boring. I’d actually rather be with Aada, selling potions at our Potion Market than making potions.

Maia: Okay, then. So, you heard of the knowledge competition in Spelltember?

Jack: Is it the competition where track members face head to head answering questions the quickest?

Maia: Right indeed. You should stick around for that.

Jack: Yeah.

Scene cuts to inside Riz's castle

SFX: (Mysterious music plays)

Riz: (Growls)

Silver Guard: What is it, boss?

Riz: A disturbance. I feel one. Near Aada Mage.

Silver Guard: Will be taken care of right away.

Riz: Good. Because if not, what I do to them, I just might do to you.
