magical people don't go to human schools.

- You do. - I go to both.

- You're lucky.

Has Ruksy mentioned me?

- Peter, forget Ruksy. Forget everything you saw.

Don't talk about it... to anyone...ever. Okay?

- Alright. - KYRA: Promise?

- Yes, I promise.

- See you later. - Off to your other school?

- You know what we haven't done in ages? A sleepover.

- I guess. - MATHILDA: My dad's away

for the weekend and Mum's at some conference thing,

so I was thinking maybe tomorrow night?

How about it? It'll be fun.

- Sure, why not?

- Um, yeah, fine.

- Hello?

Anyone here?

- MAXWELL: Aisle 13, Kyra.

- What's going on? - I think Ladder's developed

a sense of humor.

- That's not possible.

- MAXWELL: You know something about this?

- I...had a dream about it.

- DARRA: You dreamt you were stacking books.

- I dreamt I was in the library

and...books were flying off the shelves.

They were stacking up just like this.

- You did magic without being here.

- Like when you sent the message

when you and Darra were trapped in the beach.

- What's going on, Professor?

- Hard to say, I've never seen anything like this.

- I thought you knew everything.

- I have been known to give that impression,

but...in this case, I'm flummoxed.

- I know this book, it's the one I was touching when I got zapped

by Lily and Imogen. - [magic zaps]

- [yelps] - Kyra, are you alright?!

- I'm fine. - [magic zaps]

- Whoa, what was that?

- [squeaking]

- Kyra?

- LILY: That's our teacher. - IMOGEN: Or was.

- LILY: What did you do to him? - I didn't do anything,

it just happened!

- Transformation magic, that's senior level.

- You have to get him back.

- How? - I don't know,

we haven't studied transformation.

- MAXWELL: [squeaking]

- LILY: Poor Professor Maxwell.

What are we going to do?

- [phone ringing]

- It's Mathilda, we're having a sleepover.

- Cancel. - [phone ringing]

- KYRA: Hi, Mattie. - MATHILDA: Hey! I'm at yours.

Where are you?

- Um, you weren't supposed to come over 'til 5.

- Mum dropped me off early. When will you be here?

- I'm just finishing some stuff I had to do.

- MATHILDA: It's no problem. Your dad's here, he let me in.

I've made myself at home.

- Great.

See you soon!

- You can't be with Mathilda.

What if you turn her into a guinea pig?

- She's at my house, I have to go.

- Imo and Lily, go with Kyra.

If anything happens, you can help with damage control.

Ruksy, we need to find a counter-spell

to help the professor get back

and he can work out what's going on with Kyra.

- Well, well, look at the boss man.

- Got a better idea?

- MAXWELL: [squeaking]

- Hi, Dad. Hey, Mattie. Sorry I took so long.

I was on the way home and I ran into a couple of friends.

This is Lily and Imogen.

Meet Mathilda and my dad.

- Hi. - Nice to meet you, girls.

- I feel like I've met you guys before.

- Oh, they came to our game with the Gazelles.

Total basketball tragics. - Ah.

- I've invited Lily and Imogen to the sleepover.

- I thought it was just gonna be the two of us.

- It was, but when I ran into them, I thought,

"The more the merrier."

- [magic zaps]

- Come on, Mattie, it'll be fun. - [magic zaps]

- MATHILDA: O...kay.

- Did I say how pleased I was to meet you?

Because I really, really am.

- KYRA: What's going on?

Am I doing this?

- [magic zaps]

- Don't worry, I've got you covered.

- There you go, comfy house.

And you can borrow my PJs.

- Oh, pretty, thanks.

- Where's your stuff? - It was a last-minute thing.

- Where do you live? - Close.

- So, why don't you go home and get something?

- Not that close.

- What school do you guys go to?

- You wouldn't know it, it's kind of small. Boutique.

- MATHILDA: Okay. [nervous laugh]

- [knocking] - Sorry to interrupt.

Kyra, can we have a word before I go?

- What do your parents do?

- Uh...Mum's a vet. - Oh.

- And Dad's a...policeman. - Does he work with Kyra's dad?

- I wouldn't know.

And...Imogen's dad is a...

- Uh...he...

sells basketballs.

- And...your mother?

- She...

She cuts hair. - Toenails.

- She works in a salon and cuts hair and toenails.

- Um...let's see where Kyra's got to.

- You should've asked me first, Kyra, I don't know these girls.

- Sorry, Dad, it was all a bit of a rush.

- Well, do their parents even know they're here?

I should call them.

- They're working, probably not a good idea to disturb them.

- Yeah, but I-- - Dad, just--stop stressing.

You better scoot, you don't wanna be late.

- Well, have fun.

- [door closes]

- No offense, Kyra,

but your friends are kind of weird.

- Look, I know they're a little...unusual,

but they're really nice.

Trust me, you just... have to get to know them.

Wooh, I'm hungry, how about we get dinner started?

- MAXWELL: [squeaking]

- If we can't turn Maxwell back,

we'll have to tell the DMI.

- We can't. - We can't leave him

as a guinea pig. - We can't let the DMI find out

it was Kyra who turned him into one either.

Have you forgotten when Orla was here?

- She wanted to banish Kyra.

- I'm not giving anyone a reason to do that.

So we keep looking. Got it?

- MAXWELL: [squeaking]

- [dog barking]

- So...here's tonight's menu.

One Hawaiian pizza, though I cannot understand

why anyone would want fruit on their pizza.

- MATHILDA: Put the pineapple on my half.

- And one vegetarian pizza.

Lily and Imogen, you can make that one.

Just chop up some veggies and put them on the base.

- [magic zinging]

- [magic zaps]

- MATHILDA: What was that? - What?

- That capsicum just moved. - No, it didn't.

- [laughs] Yes, it did, I saw it.

- Oh, that was me.

"Hello, I'm Carly Capsicum, pleased to meet you."

- [magic zings] - And I'm...Charlie Capsicum.

- We're Carly and Charlie! - BOTH: The vegetable twins!

- LILY: ♪ We love to sing, we love to dance ♪

- ♪ We love to twirl, we love to prance ♪

- LILY: ♪ Sing, dance!

- IMOGEN: ♪ Twirl, prance!

- BOTH: We're the vegetable twins!

- You two are so funny! Aren't they funny, Mathilda?

[laughs]

- Hilarious.

- [toothbrush buzzing]

- Knock-knock! Imogen! What if I'd been Mathilda?

Little circles round and round, little circles up and down,

that's the way. [giggling]

Do you want me to show you how to brush yours, too?

- I'll pass, thanks.

Are you two...finished?

- I don't know how much longer we can keep this up.

Especially when a certain person is so careless.

- That's how I always brush my teeth.

- Do you think Darra and Ruksy

found a way to turn Maxwell back?

- If they had, they'd be here. - They better hurry up,

otherwise Mathilda will see something.

- [sighs] If only she'd go to sleep.

- [magic twinkling] - ♪

- Sleeping spell. - KYRA: No spells.

- Just a...teensy weensy one.

She'll feel wonderful when she wakes up.

- Lily, no spells on Mathil-- - [magic zings]

- Lily, I'm sorry. - I'll just change back.

My wand won't appear. My magic's not working.

Stop, it hurts! - That's not good.

- This is totally out of control.

- What do we do? - Shut you in a cupboard.

You're a menace. - [yelps]

- What was that? - What's what?

- There's something on your dresser.

- There's nothing on my dresser. - No, nothing at all.

- [chuckles]

So why are you both standing there?

- I was showing Imogen how nice my room looks from this angle.

- IMOGEN: Yeah, way better than over there.

- KYRA: Must be the light. - Must be.

- Why are you wearing a beanie?

- Bad hairdo. - Head cold.

- Right.

Um, where's Lily? - She went for a walk.

- MATHILDA: Now? It's dark.

- She wasn't feeling very well.

- MATHILDA: She seemed fine before.

- It came on really fast.

- Was it because of my pizza? - I'm sure it wasn't.

I'll go check on her. I'll try the library.

- MATHILDA: I don't think it will be open.

- Our school library is.

- Why would she go to the school library if she feels sick...

at night...in your pajamas?

- If it helps her feel better, why not?

- Well, it's no more weird than anything else they do.

So, how do you know them?

- I told you, I met them at the basketball final.

Hey, how about some ice cream?

- I couldn't, I am full.

- [magic zings]

- Kyra shrunk Lily,

I've got ears, and we're both visible,

so you better tell me

the professor's not a guinea pig anymore.

- I wish we could, but... as you can see--

- You lost him? - He was here a moment ago.

- Well, find him.

- Professor! - Professor!

- RUKSY: Professor!

- Are you glued to that dresser? - No, I just like it here.

- Kyra, what is your problem? - Problem?

- You've been acting strange all night.

Although, not as strange as your kooky friends.

- [door opening] - Look, I was really hoping

that we could talk-- - Did you find Lily?

- Uh, Lily wasn't at the library.

The poor little guinea pig seems to have disappeared.

- MATHILDA: Well, if she's feeling sick,

she's probably gone home.

- You're right. - So...I guess it's bedtime.

- I should put these in the wash.

- MATHILDA: You're doing your washing now?

- They're a bit pungy. [sniffs]

Wouldn't want the smell to keep you awake!

Imogen, why don't you keep Mathilda company?

Back soon.

- Isn't this a great sleepover?

- [crickets chirping]

- DARRA: Maxwell. - Professor Maxwell.

He's a guinea pig, he can't answer us.

- Maybe he'll recognize our voices

and come looking for us.

It's okay, we'll find him.

- Stay away, I don't want anything to happen to you.

I'm gonna try down here.

Professor? - Professor?

Maxwell?

- KYRA: Professor!

- Are you gonna stay there all night?

- Um...I'm... doing some stretches.

- That's no good, let me show you.

- No! - Why not?

What is on the dresser? - IMOGEN: Nothing.

- [phone ringing]

- I need to take this.

A little privacy, please?

Hey, Mum, I'm at Kyra's.

Do you mind? It's personal.

- No problem.

- Mum, it's okay, I get it.

You and Dad tried to make it work but you couldn't.

Yes, I know that you both still love me.

Lots of kids have parents who get divorced,

it's no big deal.

No, the announcement just was a bit sudden, that's all.

I'm fine. Honestly.

It's all good here. Um...we had pizza.

Look, I should go, um...

I love you, Mum.

Bye.
