Alice is pacing around the Lion Guard lair, thinking. What was she thinking about? Causing mayhem of course. She was thinking of ways of getting back at Bunga for pranking her. So she was going to return the favor. The other members of the Guard asked her what she was doing, but she lied to them so that Bunga wouldn't find out what she was plotting. Her only problem was how she was going to do it.

'Come on, Alice. Think! You're a witch. Getting sweet revenge should be easy for you.' She told herself. Then she got an idea. A truly wicked idea. She was going to prank Bunga, witch style. Which means that she would need her spell book. She made it appear in her hands, and opened it to look for anything that might help with her revenge. Kion watched her as she looked through her book, a confused expression on his face. "Hey, Ally. What are you doing?" Kion asked his mate. "Nothing. Just looking through my spell book." She lied, eyes still on the book. Kion then sat next to her and looked at the book. "What's all this?" He asked curiously. "It's a book that holds spells and potion ingredients. Basically, it holds a lot of magic knowledge." Alice explained. She then stopped at a Truth Telling Spell, and looked at it. "A Truth Telling Spell?" She said to herself. Kion then looked at it, but couldn't make it out. "Could you say it out loud for me?" He asked her. Alice nodded and cleared her throat.

"Elements reveal truth forever, when questions asked whichever." She read. What she didn't realize, was that she accidentally cast the spell on herself. "This would actually be a very useful spell, but Bunga's already an open book." Alice said to herself. "Hey, Ally. What does the spell mean?" Kion asked. "Well, basically, it's supposed to be used to make someone tell you nothing but the truth. The spell only lasts for a day, so you would need to use it wisely. You can cast it again, but you'd already get what you wanted by then. The spell also works both ways for that someone. If I cast the spell on you, then you would have to tell me the truth. But if you ask me a question, then I'd be forced to tell you the truth as well." She explained to her mate.

"Wow. That does sound like a useful spell. But it sounds dangerous as well." Kion responded. Alice hummed in agreement. "So, why do you need to look in the book again?" Kion asked her. "I'm looking in here to find something that will help me get back at Bunga." She answered honestly. Her eyes widened as she realized she just blurted that out. "I knew it!" Bunga shouted out. "I can't believe I said that out loud." Alice groaned to herself. Beshte waddled up to her and stopped in front of her. "Why would you need to get back at him?" He asked the witch. "Because he pranked me and I ended up with bees chasing after me. So I was planning on  getting sweet, sweet revenge." Alice told him.

She then groaned in irritation as she had told him what she was planning for the Honey Badger. "What the bloody hell is happening?! I can't stop telling the.....truth." she trailed off. She then had a horrified expression on her face at the realization of what was happening. "Oh no no no no no no no no no. What have I done?!" She exclaimed. Ono looked at how panicked she looked, and asked her what the problem was. "Alice, what's happened?" He asked the witch. "I accidentally cast that truth telling spell on myself!" She proclaimed to the Lion Guard. Fuli then started to chuckle at the witches predicament. "This'll be interesting. So now you have to go around telling the truth. All day." She said with a smirk.

"Not only that, but anyone I ask a question to, will have no choice to but to tell the truth as well." Alice shot back. Fuli then walked up to Alice, prepared to ask her a question. "So, Alice. What do you really think about Raven?" She asked. Alice narrowed her eyes at the mention of that witch. "I think she's a prissy, bratty, egotistical, Evil bitch!" Alice told her, honestly and harshly. The Lion Guard, minus Fuli, who was laughing like a hyena, all had a look of shock on their faces. Not once did they hear Alice say anything close to what she just said. "You know, I'm actually fine with saying that out loud." She told them.
