You, Feli, Honda-san, Ludwig, and Gilbert loiter outside in the courtyard after school lets out, waiting for the rest of the friends that you invited.

"I'm so excited I could explode!" Says Feli. "Let's just go! We have cell phones in case they need to contact us."

"Okay," says Ludwig. "Let's take the train."

(Le Time Slip)

Looking at the enormous, derelict mansion, you get a feeling of dread in your gut like a huge, hot rock dropped into the bottom of your stomach.

"Creepy," you say. "Are you sure we should be here?"

"No, but whatever." Feli smiles. "You aren't scared, are you?"

"No!" You blush hugely. You run forwards and pull on the large oaken doors. They budge slightly and with the help of Ludwig and Gil, you push the thick doors. They swing ponderously inwards and a whoosh of slightly musty air blows into your face. You sneeze, the force of it almost making you lose your balance and fall backwards. The interior of the house is pristine for an old, decrepit haunted mansion. The floors were clean and spotless, the lights cobweb-free and shining brightly.

"Woah," says Ludwig. He is the first to step across the border into the old mansion, followed closely by Gil. Honda-san enters next, then you and Feli. The door slams shut behind you, and you leap into the air.

"Can we go now?" Ludwig sounds terrified.

"Pfffff," says Gil. "You're just a scared little pussy-cat."

You suddenly hear a crashing sound, like that of a lot of glasses falling to the ground. You jump again and grab Feli. Honda-san and Ludwig's heads whip towards the sound.

"I really think we should go," says Ludwig.

"Heh, as if there would be any ghosts here," says Honda-san. He starts to walk towards the sound and is stopped by Gil.

"Be careful," he says.

"I'll be right back," says Honda-san and waves over his shoulder at Gil.

"I'm coming too," you say. "I'll make sure you don't get hurt."

You blush again, awkwardly letting go of Feli. Honda-san sighs and shakes his head, but he doesn't try to stop you as you follow him down the hallway leading to the site of the sound.
