They eventually got back to Aggie's house, where Marnie and Maisie immediately started up on the Witch's Brew.

After Marnie dumped in the ghost sweat and Maisie stirred the potion thrice, Marnie carried the small cauldron to the table. 

"All right, here it is," Marnie said. "Vampire fang, ghost sweat, werewolf hair à la mode."

 Maisie poured the potion into the talisman and screwed the cap on.

All that was left was the spell...

Maisie looked at Marnie, hoping she remembered it.

Marnie looked back at her, as if she was hoping that Maisie remembered the spell.

"What are you both waiting for?" asked Dylan.

"I can't remember Grandma's spell," Marnie admitted.

"What do you remember you can't remember?" asked Dylan.

"It was Old English or Welsh or something," Marnie said. "I mean, give me a break, I have trouble remembering Agua."

"The most I remember is Bet y March, Bet y Guythur," Maisie admitted. "The rest I can't remember because it sounded like gibberish to me." 

Marnie looked at the talisman, "Betty March, Betty Gunther. Betty Gugginheim is all that's bid?" Marnie tried again. Even Sophie cringed at that. "Okay, better march. Better get there. Better get going, before there's no more beds."

"Why didn't you write it down or something?" whined Dylan.

Maisie asked Dylan, "Why didn't you write it down?"

Sophie started muttering under her breath, making Maisie and Marnie looked at her.

Marnie asked Sophie, "What is it, Soph?"

Sophie spoke a little louder, "Bet y March, Bet y Guythur, Bet y Gugaun, Cledyfrutm Anoeth Bid."

Maisie smiled at Sophie, "That's it. That's the rest of the spell. How did you remember it?"

"It sounded pretty, so I made up a song for it," Sophie explained. "Bet y March, Bet y Guythur. I like making up songs."

That she did. Maisie remembered the 'Bathtub Song' Sophie used to sing when she was four. Maisie found it a little disheartening to know that a seven-year-old was more of a witch than her.

"You know," Marnie started. "Grandma says spells are stronger together when you have more than one witch. You wanna help us, Sophie?"

"Okay," Sophie replied.

Maisie and Marnie grabbed a hold of the talisman, while Sophie said the spell, Maisie and Marnie repeated it back, trying to say it together.

It, obviously, didn't work.

"Great, it's not working," Dylan complained.

"Your pessimistic attitude isn't helping much," Maisie replied.

"Grandma says that spells are simple," Marnie pointed out. "You want something, then let yourself have it."

She let Sophie grab a hold of the talisman and Maisie grabbed the bottom. She closed her eyes.

Together, the three girls said in unison, "Bet y March, Bet y Guythur, Bet y Gugaun, Cledyfrutm Anoeth Bid."

There was a flash of light and Maisie opened her eyes, seeing the talisman lit up. It even stayed on.

"You did it you guys," Dylan said, sounding surprised.

"I did it," Marnie said, sounding surprised. "We did it. We're witches." She hugged her two sisters.
