W.I.T.C.H., Season 2 (2006)

Cornelia:
This is torture!

Harold:
Babysitting is not torture.

Cornelia, Lillian:
Is so!

Napolean:
Meow.

Cornelia:
See! Lillian's a big baby and I'm...

Harold:
All of fourteen.

Cornelia:
A so totally mature fourteen!

Harold:
Total maturity! That's why you're the one babysitting. Now, we won't be late. Make sure your sister's in bed by nine and try to get along. Or next time, Lillian babysits...you. Ciao!

Lillian:
So...now what do we do?

Cornelia:
I study the winter fashions. You keep quiet.

[She reads a magazine]

Lillian:
[Holding up Napolean] I wish you could speak, Napolean. At least then, I'd have someone to talk to.

Cornelia:
Ok, that's it! Bedtime!

Lillian:
It's only eight o'clock!

Cornelia:
I'm in charge and I say it's nine! Now brush your teeth and pyjamify. Now! [She points towards another room]

Lillian:
[grunts] I hate you!

[She storms off. Napolean looks at Cornelia]

Cornelia:
Then my work here is done. [she sighs and reads her magazine. Napolean jumps on Cornelia's lap. Cornelia gasps]

Napolean:
Lose the magazine, doll. We gotta talk.

[Cornelia is shocked and screams. Later, the other girls, Matt and Mr Huggles are at the Hale Residence, looking at Napolean, who is licking his paw]

Taranee:
[dryly] The cat talks?

Napolean:
[sarcastically] No. [The girls gasp] [Referring to Mr Huggles] Ricky Rodent over there's a ventriloquist.

Irma:
Um, no offence, but this just ain't normal.

[Mr Huggles is twitchy]

Matt:
Yeah, Mr Huggles doesn't like it either.

Napolean:
Well, your rat can just get over it.

Matt:
He's not a rat, he's a dormouse! And, egh, I'm arguing with a house pet.

[Napolean jumps up onto the top of the sofa]

Napolean:
Not just a house pet, Mack, I'm a familiar. Lillian's familiar.

Will:
Familiar?

Hay Lin:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, a familiar's a magical animal spirit that attends and protects a witch!

Cornelia:
My sister may be a brat but she's no witch! Not a real one anyway.

Napolean:
Well, she's something. Gave me the power of speech. Just by wishing. Kid was marked for greatness. Otherwise she wouldn't have wound up with me. But I'm thinking her power surfaced ahead of schedule. Extreme mystic might in the pores of an eight year old. Bad medicine. My two cents: Keep her in the dark 'til she's older and can handle it.

[Will walks away from the group]

Cornelia:
Keep her in the dark about what, exactly? All we have are questions.

[Will takes out the now glowing Heart of Kandrakar and creates a fold]

Will:
Then let's go find some answers!

[Hay Lin walks over to the fold]

Cornelia:
I can't leave Lillian alone! Especially not now.

Matt:
I'll cover for you. Go!

Will:
Thanks, Matt!

[They all walk through the fold. Napolean notices Lillian]

Napolean:
Uhhh, meow.

Lillian:
I heard voices and...where, where's Cornelia?

Matt:
Uh, she'll be back soon. She just stepped outside to, uh...

Lillian:
Ditch me for her friends? [softer] Big surprise.

[Matt kneels down to her level and puts his hand on her shoulder]

Matt:
Hey! You've still got me.

[Mr Huggles chirps]

Matt:
And Mr Huggles.

[Napolean jumps on Matt's other shoulder, he gasps in shock]

Matt:
And...your...familiar. [Napolean smiles] Um, that is, you're familiar...with Napolean. [Napolean pushes his head out towards Lillian, closes his eyes and smiles. Lillian smiles back]

[Elsewhere, in Kandrakar]

Luba:
From all you've told me, Cornelia's sister may well be a vast font of magical energy. Perhaps The Heart of Earth itself.

Cornelia:
No way!

Luba:
It would explain why The Oracle chose one such as you to be a Guardian.

Irma:
Ok, wait, wait, wait! The Oracle chose us?!

Taranee:
I thought Yan Lin picked us. She was an ex Guardian and we were her granddaughter's best friends.

Will:
But, that, that makes no sense. I had just come to town. I barely knew Hay Lin.

Luba:
Hay Lin was indeed chosen to provide a continuity of spirit. But Cornelia's selection as Guardian of Earth may have been to ensure that she'd have the power...and wisdom to guide [Cornelia's arms are folded] and protect her sister, the Heart of Earth.

Cornelia:
Ugh, I do not have the wisdom to guide any...

[The Will, Taranee and Irma quickly appear in front of Cornelia]

Taranee:
Ok! Curiosity officialy peaked!

Will:
Why were we chosen?!

Irma:
Yeah. Spill!

Luba:
Such truths only emerge with the fullness of time.

[She folds her arms and walks to the other side of the Auramere Globes]

Luba:
For now...you must focus on the child. Should Nerissa learn of this young girl and her untapped potential...

Will:
Ugh, she'll try to add Lillian's power to her own magic seal!

Taranee:
But a Heart can't be taken by force. It has to be given up willingly.

Luba:
Do not underestimate Nerissa or forget that she tricked Elyon and Kadma into surrendering their power.

[Cornelia walks forward]

Cornelia:
Hoho...no... [she shakes her finger] No one messes with my sister but me! Will, send me home...now!
