Matthew: Waiting for Penny. She said for us to come into the living room for some reason. [Wacky Quacky pops up out of nowhere] Wacky: YOU’RE WAITING FOR A PENNY?! ARE YOU REALLY THAT DESPERATE FOR MONEY?! Matthew: [sighs] No, I meant Penelope. Wacky: That movie from 2008? Matthew: NO! Penny Bleat! You know, the sheep? She wanted us to come out here to see something. I wonder what it is... Donald Trumpet: [honking] [Smitty snickers] Matthew: What did he say? Smitty: Oh, he’s just impressed by the fact that Penny actually managed to converse with other people… [chuckles] [some other characters chuckle as well] Matthew: Hey don’t be mean, guys. Stanley: I’m actually surprised that Roy’s here for this too. Roy: I’m only here because Penny gave me a dollar to come here. And she said that she’d give me an EXTRA dollar if I watch her finish whatever this is. [fanfare] Stanley: AH! What was that? Matthew: That’s fanfare, Stanley. Stanley: Fanfare? I thought a fanfare was a carnival that fans go to. Matthew: What? [Penny appears from a smoke bomb in midair, which catches everyone’s attention] Penny: Ta-daaaa!!! AAAA- [Penny falls on the ground, gets up and then shakes her head] Ryan: First time on your new legs? [characters laugh] Penny: ugh… My name is Presto Penny! [brings out a deck of cards] Magician! Now, for my first trick! You there! [points at Joe] Pick a card! Any card! [Moe is shown on the back of Joe’s head] Moe: Why can’t I pick a card? Joe: Because she didn’t point at you. [grabs card and looks at it] Penny: Alright now put it back. [Joe puts card back in deck, Penny shuffles the deck and pulls out a card] Is this your card? Joe: No. Penny: Oh… uhh… [grabs another card] Is this your card? Joe: Nope. Penny: Uhh… [grabs yet another card] what about this one? Joe: Nuh-uh. Penny: [anxious] Uhh… [rapidly searches through cards] what about… [accidentally drops cards onto the floor] Whoopsie! [tries to pick up cards] Uhh… [points at one one the floor] this one? Joe: It was the 6 of spades. Penny: YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO TELL ME!!! Ugh!!! [takes a deep breath] Uhmm… okay, uhh… moving on. Ryan: Oh! I just remembered! My thing was… uhhh… anywhere but here. [Matthew grabs him by the collar and forces him back into the seat] Matthew: Ryan, if we have to sit through this, you do too. Ryan: Uggh, fine. Penny: Uhmm… for my next trick, I shall link these two rings together! [Penny tries to link the rings together but it doesn’t work. She nervously tries to get the two to link, but after a few attempts, she gets frustrated and tries to smash the two rings together with a mallet] Penny: [breathing heavily] Uhh… ta-daaaaa?? [characters look at her unimpressed] [Matthew is the only one clapping, which all of the characters respond to by throwing stuff at him] Matthew: Of course... Penny: For my third and FINAL trick… Everybody except for Matthew: YAAAAY!!! Penny: The “saw someone in half” trick!!! Everybody except for Matthew: NOOOOO!!! [Everybody runs out of the room except for Matthew and Roy] Roy: Nope. Not getting out of this seat till I get my dollar. Matthew: I’ll… I’ll be your volunteer, Penny. Penny: Great! Lay in this box. [Matthew lays in box and Penny closes it] Roy: Hey, foo, should I call the hospital or a funeral planner? Or both? Matthew: Don’t be ridiculous. Roy: I guess it’s both. Matthew: Uh… Penny, this isn’t gonna hurt, is it? Penny: I hope it doesn’t. Matthew: YOU HOPE?! Wait… uhh… actually, I changed my… [Penny puts the saw right in the middle of the box] GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH- [Scene cuts to Matthew on the medical floor, with JoJo, Stanley, and Penny with him. Dr. Dingo is there as well] Dr. Dingo: For now, you’re gonna have to walk on your hands. Matthew: But what about my legs? Dr. Dingo: It’s a miracle you’re even still alive right now. You’ll get your legs back in the next cartoon anyway. [Dr. Dingo walks off] [Matthew glares at Penny] Penny: Well… hey… uhm… I mean, at least you’ll be able to buy clothes “half-off”. Heh heh… [Matthew still glares at her] Penny: [sadly hangs her head and walks away] [Matthew starts feeling bad] Matthew: Poor Penny… I don’t know what to do. Maybe she just needs some tutoring. [Matthew thinks] That’s it! I could get Chicken Wizard to tutor her and teach her magic! You know, teach her the basics and whatnot so that she’d get better for her little magic show. JoJo: Hold on, Matthew, are you sure you want to go through with this for Penny? Matthew: [visible confusion] Well yeah… why are you asking? JoJo: Well, Teaching Penny magic at her current age, with the powerful magic she can do, could be uncontrollable and very dangerous to all of us in the house, including herself. Matthew: [Doubting] you sure about that? [JoJo leans into Matthew’s face all concerned] JoJo: Think about it, Matthew. [cut to the outside of the whole house on a calm peaceful day] [SUDDENLY HOUSE EXPLODES] [zooms out to show a thought bubble from Stanley thinking of the house exploding] Stanley: Oh jeez... Matthew: Okay, don't be ridiculous you two, I’m sure Penny will do great, just you wait, she would make an awesome magician after Chicken Wizard teaches her! I’m sure he’d be glad to help out. [scene cuts to Matthew, with crutches, and Chicken Wizard on the 10th floor] Matthew: WHAT DO YOU MEAN “NO”?! Chicken Wizard: Please, Matthew, she’s clearly not ready. SHE CUT OFF YOUR LEGS! Matthew: Come on, CW. She really wants to learn magic! Chicken Wizard: I don’t think you realize how powerful magic can be. Think about it. [cut to the outside of the whole house on a calm peaceful day] [SUDDENLY HOUSE EXPLODES] [zooms out to show a thought bubble from Stanley thinking of the house exploding] Stanley: Oh jeez... Matthew: Stanley would you get OUT OF HERE?! Stanley: No…[beat] Ok, now I will. [Stanley walks off] Matthew: Ok, look, just teach her basic magician stuff, like card tricks and whatnot, you know, “poof” and stuff. That’s all you have to do. Chicken Wizard: Uhmm… I’m not sure. It still seems dangerous. Matthew: I’ll give you 20 bucks. Chicken Wizard: 40. Matthew: 30. [scene cuts to Chicken Wizard and Penny] Chicken Wizard: All right, now, I’m going to show you how to perform the basic “rabbit-in-a-hat” trick. [Chicken Wizard takes his hat off] Now, I just wave my wand over the hat like so… [waves wand over hat] as I say the words “Abracadabra!” [Chicken Wizard reaches into the hat and pulls out Rachel Rabbit by the ear, who then walks away] Chicken Wizard: Now that I’ve shown you, why not give it a try? [gives her a wand] Penny: All right… here goes! [Penny takes off her own hat and waves her wand over it] Penny [pronouncing the word incorrectly]: Abracadabra! [Fireworks begin shooting out of the hat, some of them escaping the room Penny and Chicken Wizard are in] [Matthew, with the crutches, walks down the hallway next to the room, and gets shot in the face with a firework, covering his face in ash] [Chief Icebox runs in with a fire extinguisher and sprays Matthew with it, then runs offscreen] Matthew: Typical. [next scene shows Chicken Wizard and Penny with a newspaper and a carton of milk] Chicken Wizard: Okay, let’s try something else. Here’s a carton of milk, and here’s a rolled up newspaper. Now watch me pour the milk in the newspaper, and make it disappear. [Chicken Wizard pours the milk in the newspaper, he waves his wand over it] Hocus pocus! [the milk disappears, and the newspaper is completely dry] Voila. Now you try, Penny. Penny: Okay. [Penny pours milk into newspaper, waves her wand around it] Penny [pronouncing the word incorrectly]: Hocus pocus! [newspaper wilts to reveal sticks of lit dynamite in it, she yelps and immediately throws the dynamite out of the room. It blows up off-screen and Matthew’s scream is heard] Matthew: GAAAAAH!!! WHY?! WHY ME?! Chicken Wizard: Uhhhhmmm… let’s move on… [scene cuts to Chicken Wizard and Penny with a table and chair] Chicken Wizard: Now, this trick is very simple. Just watch. [points magic wand at chair] Walla Walla Washington! [chair begins to levitate] Chicken Wizard: Now, try it with that table. Penny: All right, all right. [Penny points the wand at the table] Penny: Uhhh… Walla Walla Washington! [The table begins floating] Chicken Wizard: Well, it appears you are showing some improvement! [Matthew opens the door] Matthew: Hey, how’s the magic trick training going? [As Chicken Wizard speaks, Matthew walks underneath the table Penny is levitating] Chicken Wizard: Remarkable! Penny’s beginning to show vast improvements in her tricks! [Penny’s wand begins to sputter and spark, and then goes limp] Penny: Hey… what happened to the wand? It’s all soft and flimsy now. Chicken Wizard: Oh, dear… it looks like I forgot to re-charge this one. Matthew: Wait, but if Penny’s wand doesn’t work, doesn’t that mean that-- [Matthew is cut short as the table collapses on him, breaking apart in the process] Matthew: [underneath the debris] Owch. [As Penny looks at her wand, Chicken Wizard sighs and facepalms.] [Scene cuts to Penny and Chicken Wizard with new, working wands; they are standing next to a table with a phone and a laptop on it, both are 0% charged] Chicken Wizard: Now, Penny, magic tricks can also prove to be convenient, as you are about to see in a second. [Chicken Wizard then waves his wand, pointing it at the laptop] Alakazam! [a bolt of lightning zaps from the wand to the laptop, fully charging it] Now, try that for yourself. [Penny points her magic wand at the phone.] Penny: Alakazam! [Penny’s wand then starts shooting out water as if it were a hose, the water sprays both the phone and the laptop, causing both of them to short out and explode] [Chicken Wizard, having avoided the blast, grabs Penny’s wand and twists the top of it, turning the water off as if it were a faucet] Chicken Wizard: [sighs] It appears you forgot to WAVE the wand before you tried to cast the spell. Penny: Oh… is that bad? Chicken Wizard: No… if you don’t mind total havoc, that’s all. Penny: Oh. [hangs her head down] Chicken Wizard: Don’t worry… you’ll get the hang of it… besides, that wasn’t even my laptop and phone. Those were Matthew’s. Matthew [screaming off-screen]: WHAT?! Chicken Wizard: You just need to practice. Practice makes perfect, after all. Penny: Well, okay… Chicken Wizard: Come now, let me show you a VERY simple trick. This one does not require a wand. Penny: Ooh, okay! [Chicken Wizard walks Penny over to a large basket; next to it is a bucket with a bunch of swords] Chicken Wizard: First… I will need a volunteer… Penny: A volunteer, hmm? Hey, Matthew! Matthew: NO!!! Penny: Aww… who‘s gonna volunteer then? [At this particular moment, Roy enters the room] Roy: Yo, Penny… where’s that dollar you promised me for watching that show of yours, foo? Penny: Perfect! Just in time! How would you like to turn that ONE dollar into TEN dollars, hmm? Roy: Deal… what do you want me to do now, foo? Penny: Just get in the basket! Roy: Aight. [Roy climbs into the basket and closes the lid] Chicken Wizard: Now, all you have to do is take the swords and impale the basket with them. Penny: Won’t that… severely hurt Roy? Chicken Wizard: You don’t need to worry… the swords don’t actually penetrate through. Penny: You sure? Chicken Wizard: Positive. Penny: Well, if you say so, then all right. [Penny then individually grabs the swords and impales the basket with them. Every time she does, a painful but humorous scream can be heard from inside, causing her to get even more uneasy with each sword] Penny: [after putting a third sword through] Okay… I need to see if Roy’s okay in there! [Penny opens the lid on the basket, looks inside, and then immediately closes the lid as she cringes] Chicken Wizard: Is Roy okay in there? Penny: Uh… let’s just say, he’s gonna need a lot of stitches. [Roy is heard groaning weakly inside, Matthew is seen walking by with crutches and bandages] Matthew: HEY ROY! Want me to call the hospital or a funeral planner? Or both? Roy: [shouting from basket] SHUT UP, FOO!!! Matthew: Heh heh heh… Penny: Ohhhh… what’s the point? There’s no way I can master this! Chicken Wizard: You just have to keep trying, Penny. Don’t worry. Matthew wanted me to help you and I won’t let him down. [Time card says “A few weeks later”] [Penny is shown being able to perfectly perform her magic tricks from before, specifically, the rabbit-in-the-hat trick, the floating table trick, and charging phone trick] Chicken Wizard: See, it’s like I told you, practice makes perfect! Penny: You know, it’s strange… it only felt like a few seconds had gone by… but who cares? I can finally do magic now! [Penny waves her wand, and then accidentally drops it] Penny: Oops! [The wand hits the ground, causing all of the inanimate objects in the room to come to life and start chasing after Penny and Chicken Wizard] [Matthew is walking down the hallway] Matthew: Hey, Stanley, there was a ham sandwich on the dining room table, did you-- [Penny and Chicken Wizard run past Matthew, who turns around and notices the inanimate objects coming at him. They all run into Matthew, knocking him down] [Penny and Chicken Wizard are cornered at the end of the hallway] Penny: There’s no way out! We’re trapped! Chicken Wizard: There is one way! There’s one surefire spell I haven’t taught you yet that has the ability to revert things to how they were originally! [Chicken Wizard whispers the spell into Penny’s ear] Penny: But… every time I tried doing one of these magic tricks for the first time, I always ended up failing. Chicken Wizard: Well, you have to at least give it a try! Otherwise, these cabinets, books, shelves, and tables might turn us into a full-course meal! As in, fried chicken with a side of roast leg of lamb! Penny: All right, I’ll give it my best effort! [Penny pulls out her magic wand] Reverse-a-rooney! [The spell works, and all of the objects then stop, and teleport back to their original location] Chicken Wizard: Penny… you… you actually managed to pull it off! Penny: I… I did? Chicken Wizard: Yes! Everything’s back to normal, now! Penny: Wow… I guess I did! You know, you’re right. Practice makes perfect! I’m gonna practice as much as I can for my next show! Chicken Wizard: Excellent! I’m proud to have helped you, Penny. [Penny and Chicken Wizard shake hands, as Stanley shows up, with a half-eaten ham sandwich in his hand] Stanley: Hey, guys, what’s u-- [Penny and Chicken Wizard are taken by complete surprise. Penny uses her wand to quickly levitate Stanley into the air and through a window offscreen, leaving behind his sandwich. Chicken Wizard glares at Penny, who sheepishly smiles, and shrugs] [Iris out on Penny.] The End.
