??? | Hooty's Moving Hassle

"We've got weird music!" Luz turns on the record player that played actual witch cackling. "We got snacks!" Max smiled as he dumped all the snacks he got from his bag. "We've got a bucket!" Gus smiled with a bucket on his head. "We got a bucket!" Max repeated after Gus. "Very fashionable." He added. "And we have actual friends to do the conjuring with!" Willow chimes. "This is so exciting!" She held her hands together and squealed.

"So how does this conjuring stuff work?" Luz asked. "Well first, we find an object to animate," Willow replied. "Since it's our first time, we should find something meaningful and beautiful." She walks over to a potted flower plant, getting a good idea of what she brings to life. Max looked at Willow as he put his Fox plush behind his back. "Right! Something beautiful." Max nodded his head in agreement. Gus suddenly popped up from behind the flower and put his toy in front of her, moving the flowers so she could see. "How about strangely buff little man?" Gus suggests. He squeezed it and then the toy spoke. "I'm half beef, half Bob."

"Yeah!" Luz points at the doll. "He's perfect!" She says. Max nodded in agreement. "Well, that's not exactly beautiful." Willow hesitantly says. Gus puts his figure down and stares at her with sad puppy dog eyes. Willow sighed and gave in. "Okay, buff boy it is." She says. Luz and Max cheered as Luz hugged Willow. "Tonight he shall be risen!" Gus shouts.

Soon the four get into a circle as Gus puts buff Bon in the middle. He noticed Max next to him wearing a completely different outfit. Peryton T-shirt with plaid pants and mix-match socks. "When did you have time to change?" Gus raised an eyebrow at him. "My secrets shall not be revealed," Max replied.

"According to the conjuring books I've read, we say the incantation and make a connection with the doll," Willow explained. "Figurine." Gus corrected. The four kids held hands and closed their eyes while chanting the moon-conjuring spell, Luz slightly messing up because she didn't know the words.

All the candles went out, leaving the room dark. Everyone opened their eyes and looked down at the doll. "That's your cue, little man," Gus whispered. Suddenly everything in the room began to shake. The three stood up but got immediately knocked down, unable to keep their balance. Suddenly the shaking stopped and the living room was a complete mess.

"Guys?" Luz yelped when a book fell on her head. "Did the whole house just hiccup?" She asked, taking the book off her head and rubbing the spot where it hurt. "What did you do little man?!" Gus squeezed his doll for an answer. "A real man never takes accountability!" The doll replied.

"No, I think—I think we might've animated the house by accident!" Willow stammered. "THE HOUSE?" Luz's eyes winded as she quickly ran out of the house, and stopped at the edge to see the owl was moving. Gus, Max, and Willow join her outside as the House begins to walk. They all scream, almost losing their balance as the door slams shut. Luz went up to the door and saw Joott's eyes glowing blue."Hooty? Hooty! Hooty, you have to stop!" Begged Luz. "By the power of moonlight, I have risen. Hoot hoot...." Hooty murmured. "He's in some kind of trance!" Gus shouts.

The Owl House steps through two trees. The jostling makes Gus yell as he and Luz lose their balance. He nearly fell off, but Max grabbed his hand. "I got you, buddy!" Max shouted. "Gus!" Willow and Luz quickly helped Max pull Gus back up. "Our magic must've spread through the house instead of the doll!" Willow yelled. "Figurine!" Gus corrected.

Luz Willow, and Max grunt as they use their strengths they have to pull up their friend, but they nearly fall and grab the other's hand for balance. The glow returns. "Hooty, stop!" Luz's command echoed as The House stopped moments before it would have walked off a cliff. Luz, Willow, and Max pull Gus back up to safety and they all let go of each other, staring at their hands. "How'd we do that?" Asked Gus. They all look at the moon and back at their hands. "Guys, hold hands again." And with that, the e four held hands again, causing them to all glow at once again. The Owl House takes several steps away from the cliff. "We're controlling it with the power of friendship!" Willow smiled. "Uh, and the moon. Probably the moon." She chuckled. "This is amazing! What do we do now?" Gus asked with excitement.
