## Transcript:

On a summer day, Tara was cooking some lunch.

Tara: Shoot… I forgot the tomatoes!

Tara snapped her fingers.

A few tomatoes appeared on the counter.

Tara: Perfect. Now for the-

Tara suddenly started getting light headed and almost fainted.

Tara: That’s strange. Anyways… Now for the broth…

Tara got out the broth and then sneezed.

Terrance came into the kitchen.

Terrance: Bless you.

Tara: Terrance, sweetie… can you help me prepare lunch? I… I’m not feeling so well.

Terrance: Of course, mother. What’s wrong?

Tara: Well, it’s my powers. They’re all wonky.

Terrance: Your powers? Ohhh, well, you’ll be okay to take me to Tami’s, right? Her moms want to see you… and I figured I’d try to win her back.

Tara: Oh, Terrance, honey. I don’t know. I’m not feeling up to it.

Terrance: Well, I hope it’s nothing serious.

Tara: So do I.

During dinner, Daisy, Jenny, and Kelly came over.

Tara was making pasta and meatballs.

Theodore: Is mom feeling okay? I just saw her put ice cream on the spaghetti.

Terrance: And are those uncooked eggs?

Tara came over with the dinner.

Tara: Enjoy!

Everyone looked at it and looked disgusted.

Thomas: Tara, honey. Maybe you should let me cook.

Daisy: No way! Lloyd gave me some of his spray on food when I was in 2004. Here!

Daisy sprayed the dining room table.

Sushi and pad Thai suddenly appeared.

Jenny: There is no way we’re eating spray on food.

Tara: I’m… not really so hungry. I’m going to bed.

Tara flashed out.

Kelly: What’s up with Tara?

Thomas: I don’t know! It’s weird, right?

Jenny: You totally caused this. Didn’t you?

Thomas: What? No! I love Tara! I’d never do anything like that to her!

Daisy: Lying’s not gonna help your cause. Now enjoy some sushi.

Daisy stuck some sushi in Thomas’ mouth.

Theodore: You know, dad’s not lying. How in the world would he have made mom sick?

Terrance: I don’t know… rat poison? Weird mushrooms that might taste yummy, but are toxic… Or, oh wait… her powers.

Daisy: Her powers?

Thomas: Don’t be ridiculous! Before you kids were born, your mother took some strange powers… but I tried to talk her out of it!

Terrance: Really? I don’t believe you.

Jenny: Yeah! You’re really known for bending the truth, Thomas.

Theodore: I just hope mom’s okay.

Thomas: She will be. In the morning.

Meanwhile, in Tara and Thomas’ room, Tara was in bed sleeping.

She was dreaming of the time Thomas made her take the anti-fairy powers she currently has.

Thomas (in flashback): Come on, honey. You have to take these powers from the anti-big wand as a souvenir.

Tara (in flashback): I don’t know, Thomas. It seems… risky. You know I’m only a human. The Anti-Fairy Council said that these powers do strange things to humans.

Thomas (in flashback): I’ll protect you! These powers are awesome! You can do anything you want! And besides, I’ll make sure nothing will happen to you!

Tara (in flashback): Well! Okay! I’ll do it!

Tara went over to the anti-big wand and absorbed some of the power.

Thomas was rubbing his hands with glee as Tara was absorbing the powers.

Thomas (in flashback): Ha, ha! I did it! Those powers won’t last long.

Tara suddenly woke up and gasped.

Tara: I KNEW it! THAT’S what’s making my powers act all wonky!

The next morning, Tara stumbled into the living room.

Terrance: Mom! You overslept!

Thomas: I had to swipe Daisy’s stupid spray on food and spray out some sushi and pad Thai… again.

Theodore: It wasn’t as tasty as it was last night…

Terrance: I liked it.

Tara: I am so sorry! I had a strange dream.

Terrance: What was it?

Tara: Well, it was more of a flashback. I… figured out how I got my powers.

Theodore: This should be interesting.

Thomas: Well… I… have to get going. I… need to return this spray on stuff to Daisy. See ya.

Thomas flashed out.

Terrance: Now that was strange.

Tara: So, anyways. It was your father. He made me take these powers in Anti-Fairy World.

Terrance: Anti-Fairy World? What the heck is that?

Theodore: I know. My geography teacher explained it’s a sub-planet above Earth where a race of magical fairies, but with darker powers rule. Well, I don’t know where it is, though.

Tara: That’s where your father took me on our honeymoon. Cause he’s friends with the anti-fairy council.

Terrance: Riiight. Mom, you’ve lost it.

Theodore: Let’s get outta here!

Terrance and Theodore flashed out.

Tara: It just has to be true! It felt so real! I… should investigate…

Tara yawned.

Tara: Maybe tomorrow. I’m feeling really tired…

Tara fell down on the couch and began sleeping.
