Ray's POV
It was just a normal day at HQ. We had just caught a ghost and boy this was a big one! It took all of us about ten minutes to bag it, no big deal. People kept ringing about their ghost problems and we just couldn't seem to catch a break. Until this one call, the person called about a nine-foot tall guy who appeared out of nowhere. We got into the Ecto-1A and drove towards the address. When we got there, there was a huge hole in the wall.
"Egon, can you determine what happened here?" I looked around for Dr. Spengler but he was nowhere to be found but then I looked through the hole and I saw him there. He was crouching over something.
"What you looking at?" I asked him.
"I'm looking at what appears to be part of an overall."
"An overall, but that could be anyone's in this town."
"No this one's different. This is one is twice the normal overall size."
"Huh."
"I have to get it back to the lab to get it analysed."
"Good, but before you do that can you look at this hole please?" Venkman asked. Egon walked over to it and pulled out the PKE meter. PKE stands for Psycho Kinetic Energy.
"Hmm, that's strange."
"What is?"
"There's no PKE reading whatsoever."
"That is strange. Can we go home now?" Venkman askes. He was bored.
"No we can't. Oh wait, hang on, there is a little bit of a reading but it's extremely faint. Let's follow it." We followed Egon who followed the beeping. Before we followed we strapped on our proton packs and then we set off. We followed it for quite a while actually. We eventually ended up in a dark alleyway where we saw an extremely tall person, and he was backing away from Slimer.
"Slimer get back here! How often do I have to tell you not to go out of the firehouse!" I scolded Slimer
"But, oh …" He was the only ghost we know of who could speak proper English.
"Thanks, whoever you are." We primed our packs and got ready to blast him.
"Don't shoot! I'm a normal guy!"
"Yeah, that's what they all say." Venkman retorted.
"Who all say that?"
"Ghosts of course!"
"Venkman, I don't think that's a ghost." Egon said.
"Wait, what are ghosts?"
"How about we tell you back at HQ?" He nodded and we all piled into the Ecto-1A. There wasn't enough room for him so he had to stay on the roof. We zipped back to HQ and we saw something zoom by us. It looked like a flash of something. We got back to HQ, parked the car and got out. We looked on the roof of the car and there was no sign of him.
"What happened Peter? You were supposed to be driving!"
"Uh, I think he fell off somewhere along the way. Heh heh."
"It's not funny Venkman!"
'Fine, I'll go find him if that will make you happy." With that he went back into the Ecto-1A to find him.
A few minutes earlier …
Vanellope's POV
I broke the candy barrier and I managed to find the place where I saw Ralph. I zipped past a white car and I saw Ralph on top of it. He grinned when he saw me and hopped on just in time. I stopped the kart but we kept on going. I eventually crashed into the side of what looked like a firehouse.
"Vanellope!" He wrapped in giant bear-hug.
"Hey Ralph … it's good to see you too. Can you let go of me? I'm suffocating."
"Oh. Sorry." He let me go and I staggered out of his hug.
"You seem taller than the last time I saw you."
"Yeah ..." We looked around and we saw a white car come out of the building and drove off somewhere.
"That's the car I was on." Ralph said. We walked into the firehouse proper and we saw a room that was strewn with papers everywhere. It looked like a tornado hit it.
"What happened here?"
"Dunno." A few guys walked over and they were surprised to see us there. "Oh no."
"Hello big guy. We thought we lost ya." A cheerful-looking guy said to Ralph. "Who's this with you?"
"This is Vanellope, she's my younger sister." 'Sister?' "Can we have a moment alone please?" They left and I rounded on him.
"Sister!? What do you mean I'm your sister?"
"It's a cover story so that they won't throw you out." I wasn't entirely satisfied but I reluctantly agreed to it anyway.
"You wanted to hear about ghosts right? Follow us then." They beckoned us to follow and we obliged. We got upstairs and I saw a sort of living room/bedroom/kitchen combination. There were even more papers strewn up here then there was down below. They gestured for us to sit down. We sat down and waited for them to explain themselves and what ghosts are. Before they could start, however, there was a screeching sound, a car door slamming and footsteps on the stairs. Hurrying footsteps.
"Guys, I'm sorry but I couldn't find-" He stopped short as he saw Ralph and I there.
"Who is she?"
"We were just about to get to that before you barged in!" A black guy yelled.
"Winston, calm down. He didn't know." The guy named Winston sat back down but he was still fuming.
"Anyway, my name is Ray, he's Egon, the one that just barged in is Peter and he's Winston." Ray said. Apparently the guy with glasses is Egon.
"Ghosts are ethereal beings who have taken a physical form so that we can see them on this plane of reality." Ray could see our blank faces and he dumbed it down for us.
"Basically ghosts are people who have died and come back to life in the form of spirits." We got that.
"How do you catch ghosts?"
"We'll do better than tell you, we'll show you."
