It was 11:38, only eight minutes later, and they had only told one story.

"Okay Woody's story wasn't exactly scary, but whose going next?" Marcus asked.

"Hey my story is scary okay," Woody responded in an offended tone. "Trust me, it's scarier when you see it with 3D glasses on …"

"So basically, you got this from a comic book …" Cody stated.

"No, I put my 3D glasses on before I go to bed, then I see it in my dreams." Woody nodded cleverly.

"Okay then …".

"What does superman have to do with that story?" Bailey wondered.

"Ooooh! It's because Queen London comes and saves him. So she is crowned the queen of the world! I like that! Yay me!" London squealed excitedly, clapping her hands.

"Okay people, back to reality who's going next", Zack asked.

"Well, since no one is volunteering, I guess I'll go", Maya answered as Zack handed her the flashlight. He didn't let go of her hand. She felt something when his hand touched her though. It was if it was only them and everyone else was blocked out as sparks flew between them. She tried her best to ignore it.

"Uh Zack? You can let go of my hand now." She regretted saying it, because she secretly liked it.

"Oh sorry," Zack pulled back, reluctantly and felt a rush of heat flow through him. "Hey is it getting hotter up here?"

Cody and Bailey smiled at each other, because they had felt the same once upon a time and still felt this way now.

"Uh no, it's like thirty degrees out. Ow!" Addison also knew what was going on and slapped Woody on the arm to stop interrupting.

Marcus smiled knowing his best friend was in love, and London was just completely confused.

"What am I missing?" she asked, as everyone rolled their eyes and ignored her.

"Anyway I'll tell my story now …" Maya cleared her throat.

"Once there was this little girl, she was happy go lucky and she loved everything about life. She went swimming in the ocean with her father, when an unexpected and strong current swept him away. She was afraid someone else she loved would drown. Then when she was eight, there was a sudden fire in her house, and her dog Belle burnt to death. So she was afraid one of her best friends would burn. Ever since she's been afraid of fire and water …" Maya finished.

"Okay, now that would be scary." Bailey said as Woody glared at her.

"It was …" Maya's voice was shaking.

Everyone gasped.

"That really happened to you?" Zack asked in disbelief and on the verge of tears that this happened to his Maya.

"Yeah," She started sobbing so hard, that she didn't realize she was crying into Zack's shoulder, and he was hugging her.

"I love ghost stories." He mouthed to Marcus as Maya cuddled closer.

"Aww that's so sad to have your dad drown and your dog burn!" Addison was shocked.

"Yeah," Maya sniffled a little. "When was five, I lived in Connecticut, then my dad died. Then we moved to Indiana and Belle died. Finally, I moved to Manhattan, New York in June 2001." Maya explained.

"Aww poor you!" London repeated Addison's line.

"Im so sorry Maya …" Cody said sincerely.

"Yeah me too." Bailey remarked.

"Is that why you hated it, when I dunked your head in the water to bob for a cob?" Zack asked.

"Well yeah, but you were mostly just being a jerk." Maya told him.

"How does that make a difference to anything?" Cody questioned.

"Shut up!" Zack shouted.

Another wolf howled in the distance, no one knew it meant their stories were coming to life in the near future.
