	Intro
	Scene	Samson is sad because he has lost his favorite ball. Pepe tells him not to worry; finding lost balls is his specialty. He then goes to fetch his spellbook. Samson is excited as Pepe starts to read the spell. But something us wrong: Finchen points out that it sounds more like a recipe than a spell. Pepe then notices the book's cover, "The best cooking recipes", and starts to panic--where is his spell book? Samson suggests that he cast a spell to find it, but Pepe tells Samson that he would need his spell book for that. Finchen tells Pepe that they will try and help to find the book and the three of them start to search for it. Samson is the first to find something and calls out to the others. It turns out that he found his favorite ball. Finchen suggests that Pepe try to remember where he last used the spell book. Pepe then remembers that it was at Ella's place and that the cookbook must be hers. He then realizes that it would mean that Ella has his spell book and that it could go horribly wrong. They decide to hurry over to Ella.
	Scene	Meanwhile, Ella picks up what she believes to be her cookbook, and starts to read a recipe out loud. Then suddenly, everything around her explodes. She realizes that she is holding Pepe's spell book and quickly tries a new spell to clean up the mess she made. The spell ends up cleaning the entire house, leaving nothing left. She concludes that she will need Pepe's help, and starts to look for a spell to summon Pepe. She reads the spell: "Pepe, fly here like a bird".
	Scene	Finchen notices something on Pepe's back. It turns out to be a pair of red wings. They realize that Ella must be using the book and they start to run.
	Scene	Ella can't understand why the spell didn't work, and casts yet another spell. This time it starts to snow and all of her furniture is outside of the house.
