Blaze The Pumpkin Eater is the eight episode of the first season of We're Just Kids.

Summary
Blaze gets a grade he didn't want, and decides to retake it so he can go on a camping trip with Tracker and Nonny, so Shimmer and Shine, wanting to help their friend, decide to use their powers to change the answers on his test.

Story
One afternoon, Kitty Jo was handing back some tests.

"Pretty good, Deema", Kitty Jo said, "only, I was referring to Chile the country, not the food."

She then handed Blaze his test.

"I was surprised, Blaze", Kitty Jo said, "you usually do so well on tests."

Blaze saw that his grade was a B.

"Oh no", Blaze said.

Then, the bell rang for recess, and Blaze talked to Kitty Jo.

"Hey, Miss Waldo", Blaze said, "can I talk to you about my test?"

"What's the problem", Kitty Jo asked.

"I was sort of expecting an A", Blaze said.

"You got the answers for 22 and 23 mixed up, so I had to take points off", Kitty Jo said.

"Oh, yes", Blaze said, "it's just, Tracker and Nonny are going on a camping trip with Butch and Mark this weekend, and my Dad said I could go if I got at least an A on the test."

"But it's still a passing grade", Kitty Jo said.

"I know", Blaze said, "I just want to go on that camping trip really badly.

"Tell you what", Kitty Jo said, "if it bothers you that much, you can retake the test after school."

"Thanks", Blaze said.

Shimmer and Shine, who were playing by the window, had heard everything.

"Poor Blaze", Shine said, "if he doesn't pass that retake, he can't go on his camping trip."

"I wish there was something we could do", Shimmer said.

"Maybe there is", Shine said, "follow me."

They went to the library and saw Blaze studying his class notes.

"What's the plan", Shimmer asked.

"We'll stay behind after school so we can give him a little help with his test", Shine said.

"But he's not allowed to receive any help during the test", Shimmer said.

"I know", Shine said, "we're going to use our powers to help him cheat."

Shimmer was shocked.

"But Shine, cheating is wrong", Shimmer said.

"Only if you get caught", Shine said, "besides, when you re-arrange the letters in 'teaching', what do you get?"

"Eating-cha", Shimmer asked.

"Cheating", Shine said.

"Oh, right", Shimmer said.

"Now, here's the plan", Shine said, "when Blaze turns his test in, we'll use our powers to make all the answers correct."

"Okay", Shimmer said.

Later, after the last bell, Blaze stayed behind to retake his test.

"Alright, Blaze", Kitty Jo said, "you have one hour."

Blaze took his test, and when he was done, Shimmer tried to use her magic on Blaze's test, but nothing happened.

"That's weird", Shimmer said.

"Let me try", Shine said.

Shine tried to do the same, but nothing happened.

"I don't get it, why isn't this working", Shine asked.

"I don't know", Shimmer said.

"You know what", Shine said, "plan B."

They grabbed the test off the desk and slipped away.

"Where'd the test go", Blaze asked.

"I don't know", Kitty Jo said, "maybe a gust of wind blew it away."

"Okay", Blaze said, "I'll go in the hallway and look for it."

"And I'll check here", Kitty Jo said.

Shimmer and Shine checked the test with the notes, and Blaze approached them.

"Oh, hey Blaze", Shimmer said.

"What are you doing here", Shine asked.

"I don't know", Blaze said, "what are you two doing with my test?"

"This isn't your test", Shine said.

"Butch taught me how to be a lie detector", Blaze said, "and I'm going off like crazy."

Shimmer and Shine decided to fess up.

"Alright", Shine said, "we were trying to help you cheat."

"We wanted you to go on your camping trip", Shimmer said.

"Well I'd rather not go because of a low grade than go because of a good grade I got from cheating", Blaze said.

Blaze went away, and Shimmer and Shine followed him.

"I think we better go with you", Shimmer said.

In the classroom, Kitty Jo was grading Blaze's test.

"So, we tried to help him cheat, but it didn't work", Shine said.

"Well, he got an A+", Kitty Jo said.

Shimmer and Shine were shocked.

"No wonder our magic didn't work", Shimmer said, "he must've gotten all the questions right himself."

"Of course", Shine said.

"I'm not done with you two", Kitty Jo said, "you had your hearts in the right place trying to help Blaze, but you should never have resorted to cheating."

"We know", Shimmer said.

"Now, you two have detention for two weeks, starting next week", Kitty Jo said.

"Yes ma'am", Shimmer said.

"Now, you three better head home", Kitty Jo said.

Blaze, Shimmer, and Shine left the school.

"I better pack my things for the camping trip", Blaze said.

Blaze left, and Shimmer and Shine looked at each other.

"Well, I guess we're suffering the consequences for our actions", Shine said.

"Yeah", Shimmer said, "but as long as Blaze goes on his camping trip, I'm happy."

"Me too", Shimmer said.

The two walked away, happy for their friend.
