3. 0:05Abrica Fumble.
4. 0:08On Monday morning, [music]
5. 0:10Willow Willow woke up to a sunshiny day.
6. 0:13Her morning [music] started just like
7. 0:15any other. With the flick of her wrist,
8. 0:18her tea prepared itself as usual.
9. 0:26Herbs floated whimsically across the
10. 0:28kitchen and plopped [music] delicately
11. 0:30into her cauldron. Potions lifted from
12. 0:33their shells and mixed into her brew,
13. 0:36sending fizzes and whizzes and the sweet
14. 0:39scent of honeysuckle through the breeze
15. 0:41as it blew in the open window. Yes, it
16. 0:45was a marvelously witchy morning, just
17. 0:48the way Willa liked it.
18. 0:52The potion is nearly finished, Derby.
19. 0:55Just you wait. You're not going to
20. 0:57believe this.
21. 1:10It smells like strawberries and cream.
22. 1:14[music]
23. 1:19I love it. Magic is the best.
24. 1:24We have so much to do this afternoon,
25. 1:26Darby.
26. 1:29Oh, busy day. But let's go.
27. 1:40Bedtime, Darby. Aspenta.
28. 1:46>> On Tuesday morning, Willa made her
29. 1:48breakfast.
30. 1:51Fina Alzari.
31. 1:57No, that's [music] not right. How about
32. 2:01Abracadabra?
33. 2:04Oh, what? What kind of a spell was that?
34. 2:08Abracadabel.
35. 2:11Abracadab.
36. 2:14>> No one would ever figure out why Willa
37. 2:16forgot her magic. Not even Willa. But
38. 2:19nothing would stop her from trying to
39. 2:21remember.
40. 2:23>> Darby, I believe I've forgotten my
41. 2:25magic.
42. 2:27>> Oh no, this is the end of the world.
43. 2:42Sorry, Mrs. Merryweather.
44. 2:52Willa, darling, to what do I owe the
45. 2:54pleasure unannounced in the middle of
46. 2:57the afternoon?
47. 3:02[gasps]
48. 3:03I've lost my magic.
49. 3:07>> Of course, her mother didn't believe
50. 3:09her.
51. 3:12Oh, Willa, I've been around too long to
52. 3:15fall for a trick like that. It's true,
53. 3:19my dear. We come from a long line of
54. 3:22witches who have always held on to their
55. 3:24magic. What you speak of is impossible.
56. 3:28Now, charm a pillow over to me so that I
57. 3:30can rest my back.
58. 3:43Turn that apple purple.
59. 3:47Apple purple. Apple purple. You don't
60. 3:51truly believe that to be the spell, do
61. 3:53you?
62. 3:54>> She did.
63. 3:56>> Appily,
64. 3:57turn yourself papily.
65. 4:01Look, Ma, it worked.
66. 4:08No, my dear. That was gravity.
67. 4:12>> What am I going to do? I'm a willow
68. 4:15witch without magic.
69. 4:19I have to work at the flower shop today.
70. 4:22Please don't go. Call in sick. I beg of
71. 4:26you. I've never missed a day in my life.
72. 4:34>> [music]
73. 4:38>> I'm going to make you proud, Mom.
74. 4:42[bell]
75. 4:47I need these dillies to last longer than
76. 4:49they should. Uh, yes, we do have a long
77. 4:53lasting spell. It's uh
78. 4:58it's one of our most popular spells.
79. 5:01Willa can handle it for you. Hurry
80. 5:03[music] up. We have a long line.
81. 5:14Well, did you finish the spell? I did.
82. 5:18And
83. 5:19And now your flowers are longlasting.
84. 5:22They look exactly as they did before.
85. 5:25Ah, yes. That's how it works. It's magic
86. 5:29maxing. New complicated. I'm sure you
87. 5:33know all about it. Oh, of course. I've
88. 5:36seen maxing plenty of times. I [music]
89. 5:38was just testing you. Have a great day.
90. 5:49Willa, I need you to go to the back
91. 5:51garden and water the daisies. Yes,
92. 5:54ma'am. And no hoses, please, Willa. Just
93. 5:57use your magic. I'd like to go home on
94. 6:00time this evening, and the hose takes
95. 6:02far too long.
96. 6:06How will [music] I do this without a
97. 6:07hose? Darby, what am I going to do?
98. 6:16Willa, did you do this? The rain. I'm
99. 6:22sorry. I Will, there is nothing to be
100. 6:25sorry for. Controlling the weather is an
101. 6:28incredibly difficult enchantment. I've
102. 6:31only known one warlock in my 153 years
103. 6:35of living that has been able to
104. 6:36accomplish such a feat. Willa, I am
105. 6:39impressed. You are truly an advanced
106. 6:42witch.
107. 6:44Excuse me. Did you say this young lady
108. 6:47has precipitation magic?
109. 6:50Yes. I've never seen anything like it.
110. 6:53Neither have I. This is something that
111. 6:56takes decades to master, and she seems
112. 6:58to have accomplished it as a young
113. 7:00witch. H I wonder.
114. 7:05If I didn't know any better, I'd think
115. 7:07you were up to something. Now get going
116. 7:11on home and change out of those wet
117. 7:13clothes.
118. 7:22Hello, dear. We met in the flower shop
119. 7:24yesterday morning. I couldn't get you
120. 7:26out of my head. I've been thinking about
121. 7:28your precipitation [music]
122. 7:29magic all night. No, that's not. I will
123. 7:33accept no humble dismissals of your
124. 7:34powers, young witch. I am the organizer
125. 7:37of the Moon Mist Festival on Friday
126. 7:39evening. It would be an honor [music] if
127. 7:42you would attend and ensure the
128. 7:43predicted thunderstorms are kept at bay.
129. 7:46I know your precipitation magic [music]
130. 7:48is strong, as I've seen it myself. You
131. 7:51turned a sunny day into a dreadful
132. 7:52afternoon of wet. Please be our witch of
133. 7:56honor. I uh sure. Yes, I will be your
134. 8:01witch of honor. Marvelous. I cannot wait
135. 8:04to spread the news. A precipitation
136. 8:07witch in our little town. I cannot
137. 8:09believe it.
138. 8:14>> I'm really in for it now.
139. 8:18>> The next afternoon, word began to spread
140. 8:21around town that Willa knew magic
141. 8:23maxing. Citizens of the town came from
142. 8:26all around to ask her for assistance
143. 8:28with their magic. A young man came to
144. 8:31the door devastated that his mostused
145. 8:34[music] spell for strawberry rhubarb
146. 8:36jelly had disappeared from his spell
147. 8:38book. He asked Willa to summon the
148. 8:41pages. With a breezy bit of luck and a
149. 8:44clever chipmunk, the disappeared pages
150. 8:47were magically unstuck.
151. 8:52The jelly removed and he was none the
152. 8:55wiser.
153. 8:56>> Oh boy.
154. 9:01Their afternoon and their evening
155. 9:03continued on in the same way, with
156. 9:05purveyors of magic filling the nooks and
157. 9:08crannies of Willa's living room, begging
158. 9:10her to perform incredible feats and
159. 9:13mysterious incantations.
160. 9:21>> I don't want to be a magic maxing witch
161. 9:23anymore.
162. 9:25Unfortunately for Willa, the days passed
163. 9:27on, and we arrived at the evening of the
164. 9:30Moon Mist Festival. It was just Willa's
165. 9:33luck that the fall day had been sunny, a
166. 9:36beautiful 65° F, and without a drop of
167. 9:40rain in sight.
168. 9:48It's a beautiful day for this festival.
169. 9:50Let's just hope it stays that way.
170. 9:54My witch of honor has arrived. Willow.
171. 9:58Willow, welcome. Oh, very good. Very
172. 10:01good. You have done wonderfully with the
173. 10:03weather so far. Thank you. Is it Can I
174. 10:08ask?
175. 10:09[music]
176. 10:13Is it one incantation or many? Just one,
177. 10:16but it's more of a feeling. I would
178. 10:19suppose a feeling. Golly, I wouldn't
179. 10:22have guessed. A feeling. Really? Very
180. 10:25well. The festivities on stage will
181. 10:28start soon. You just continue to keep
182. 10:30those rainclouds at bay, my witch of
183. 10:32honor. I'm counting on you.
184. 10:36[cheering]
185. 10:49Miss Witch of Honor, my dillies have
186. 10:52wilted. I believe I paid for a
187. 10:54longlasting spell. And that's what you
188. 10:56received. So why did they wilt then? It
189. 11:00was longlasting, not forever. I want a
190. 11:03refund.
191. 11:11Willow witch. Will a witch,
192. 11:13>> can you levitate our brooms again?
193. 11:16>> We want to show our friends how they can
194. 11:18levitate.
195. 11:19>> We can't do our own broom magic for
196. 11:21another 6 months.
197. 11:24>> Uh, there's a reason you don't have
198. 11:26broom licenses yet.
199. 11:28>> Not fair.
200. 11:29>> You're embarrassing us in front of our
201. 11:31friends.
202. 11:33[bell]
203. 11:34[music]
204. 11:41Welcome to the Moon Mist Festival.
205. 11:48[cheering]
206. 11:50I'd like to announce our first spooky
207. 11:52act of the evening. The Cauldron Girls
208. 11:55here to dance double bubble trouble.
209. 11:58Take it away, girls.
210. 12:03Take care of this wind. Okay.
211. 12:06Okay.
212. 12:08[bell]
213. 12:09Abra Capri, it's time to [music] leave,
214. 12:12please.
215. 12:14What about my broom? These flowers
216. 12:17[music] wilt more by the minute.
217. 12:20The wind will uh
218. 12:24[music]
219. 12:31witches and warlocks. [music] It seems
220. 12:33we're having a bit of worrisome weather.
221. 12:36I'd like to take this moment to pause
222. 12:39our dance until the wind subsides and
223. 12:42instead introduce our witch of honor,
224. 12:45Willa. Willow. Come on stage, Willa.
225. 12:48Don't be shy.
226. 12:53If you haven't heard, Willa is a
227. 12:55precipitation witch. I'm going to give
228. 12:57her the stage and she will dissipate
229. 13:00this oncoming storm. Let's be quiet now
230. 13:03and give her our full attention. Abraa
231. 13:06son, bring back the fun. Abrica,
232. 13:10weather, get it together. Abraa,
233. 13:14aba, fumble.
234. 13:19I can't do it. I can't do it. I'm not a
235. 13:23precipitation witch. I don't know magic
236. 13:25magazine. I haven't done any magic for
237. 13:28weeks.
238. 13:36You mean you lied? You lied to me and to
239. 13:39everyone. What about my longlasting
240. 13:41flowers, then?
241. 13:43>> And how did you levitate our blooms?
242. 13:46>> I was too embarrassed to tell you the
243. 13:48whole truth. I'm so sorry. I forgot my
244. 13:52magic, and I fear it may be gone
245. 13:54forever. I'm an embarrassment to
246. 13:56witches.
247. 13:59>> [music]
248. 14:06>> Maybe,
249. 14:07maybe I can help. Everyone, take shelter
250. 14:10until the storm passes. Stand under a
251. 14:13tent. Summon an umbrella, but be careful
252. 14:16of lightning. We can stay dry until this
253. 14:19passes if we work together.
254. 14:26Evapor.
255. 14:30[music]
256. 14:37There. There. My darling. You didn't
257. 14:40mean it. And you were excellent in
258. 14:42instructing [music] everyone to take
259. 14:43shelter. You're a precipitation witch. I
260. 14:47am. So, there you have it, Miss
261. 14:49Chestnut. Your nice weather for the Moon
262. 14:51Mist Festival.
263. 14:53Mother, I'm so sorry I lied. I just
264. 14:56wanted to make you proud.
265. 14:58>> We can talk about that later. Let's get
266. 15:00you out of here. Wait, please. I don't
267. 15:03have magic [music] maxing, which you've
268. 15:05probably guessed by now. I can't do
269. 15:07magic at all. I haven't been able to do
270. 15:10magic for [music] weeks.
271. 15:13>> When I try to trim my sheep with the
272. 15:15trimming spell, I usually turn them
273. 15:16blue.
274. 15:18>> I've been using the same five spells for
275. 15:2156 years. I just can't seem to remember
276. 15:25any others. You [music] mean it? I'm not
277. 15:28alone in this. You were never alone,
278. 15:30Willa. You always had me.
279. 15:35That concludes the first half of our
280. 15:37evening's entertainment. Please
281. 15:39patronize the various shops around our
282. 15:41festival. Enjoy those frog legs and join
283. 15:44us shortly for act two.
284. 15:46>> It has been weeks since that dreadful
285. 15:48evening at the Moon Mist Festival. Now
286. 15:51that Willa knew she wasn't alone in
287. 15:53forgetting her magic, she had a newfound
288. 15:55interest in trying to learn it all back.
289. 15:58Everyday for hours, she and her mother
290. 16:01worked to remaster spells, [music]
291. 16:03though it was slowgoing.
292. 16:07Now we lift the spoon [music] up gently.
293. 16:14[music]
294. 16:21I said gently
295. 16:26>> forgetting her magic wasn't [music] the
296. 16:28end of the world, but a way for her to
297. 16:30come back even stronger.
298. 16:34[music]
