Who's Not Letting the Ghouls Out?
Chater Seven
Tucker sighed as he took the ticket from one girl dressed up as a ragdoll with an axe in her hand. Sam exchanged a few words with the girl. The girl giggled and grinned at Sam,. Her white-painted face made her look almost maniacal. Sam grinned. The girl walked inside.
"What was that all about?" Tucker asked. Sam only shrugged one shoulder. Tucker glanced at Danny who was also taking tickets and allowing passage into the dark school. Scary Halloween music played in the background. Loud, piercing sounds and what sounded like blades being sharpened every now and then. Tucker had just come out from inside, and he was freaked. They couldn't predict what kind of things the bots would do because they were just that: unpredictable. They were working on what Mikey's mind was making up.
Speaking of Mikey, they hadn't seen him at all that night. Tucker looked at the dark sky. It was nearly eight-thirty, he guessed. He looked in front of him, away from the star-filled sky and the full moon.
"Have fun," he said, forcing a grin as another student progressed into the building. Screams rang out from inside and a couple of girls outside screamed too. Tucker noticed the grin on Danny's face when that happened. He shook his head. This was gonna be fun, he murmured.
Well, it would have been if Paulina, Dash, and Star weren't the last ones in the line. As the other students in line passed, Danny, Tucker, and Sam got in front of the entrance, arms crossed over their chests, glaring at the three teens now before them. Danny recognized Dash's costume right away. It was the same thing he'd worn the year before when he had to make the haunted house on Maple Street. Just thinking about it made Danny's throat feel dry. Let's just say that salt and pepper doesn't change the fact eating underwear is gonna be disgusting.
Paulina and Star were dressed similar. Both were some type of princess, Danny guessed. Except for the fact that Paulina seemed to have...did some finish touches on her costume. She looked more like a fairy without wings. The hems of the skirt were jagged, though, making it look a little scraggly but still nice.
Sam scowled at all the pink though. Star's costume was blue, but Paulina's was pink. She mentally gagged. "Ready?" she asked, her voice as casual as ever. Her face also turned into an emotionless mask of confidence.
Dash grinned. "You bet!" he said. "But unless this thing actually gets us scared, you three are going to be in a load of trouble." He broadened his smirk and buried one fist into the palm of the other hand, signifying their faces and his fist.
"Oh, we're sure you'll be frightened," Sam said.
"We really out-did ourselves," Danny added. His and Sam's voice held a bit of sarcastic and comic relief, as if they were talking to little kids they just hated and wanted to lock in a closet in the dark for hours until they cried.
Okay, well, in a sense, they actually did. Except the closet was way larger than expected and the dark would be filled with creep-crawlies that were mechanical and were covered in scraggly rags with red dye on it.
"Step aside, losers," Paulina said, stepping up in front of Dash and making her hips slide from side to side with each step to emphasize the fact her skirt was short. Danny frowned. Just what was she trying to accomplish? Tucker, however, was fighting hard not to drool. Paulina shoved Sam to one side. The girl stumbled slightly and glared at her as Dash and Star followed. Star looked over her shoulder and stuck out her tongue at the three teens and made an 'L' sign with her thumb and index finger before walking in all the way.
"I hope this works," Danny sighed, crossing his arms and standing next to Sam.
"Trust me," she said, the scowl still on her face. She looked at Tucker, and seemed to exchange some mental notes with him. Tucker grinned and began to close the door of the school. It wouldn't be locked, just to block out the moonlight from the outside from going into the school. Complete darkness except for the occasional Neon lights.
"It will be. I guarantee it."
