The ghosts flew into the castle and looked down on Mickey, who was standing on a table, singing "Be Our Guest" to the kids.

"Look at him with his Alan Menken number!" hissed Ezra. "He should be singing 'Dancing On Your Grave' or something!"

"This is so un-Halloween, it makes me want to cry," said Gus.

Phineas was impressed. "Wow, they got Gus to cry! No one gets Gus to cry! It's physically impossible!"

"I say we all fly down there right now!" said Ezra.

Master Gracey sighed. "Oh, Ezra, you know nothing about a good entrance. I've got the perfect idea..."

Down at the party, Mickey had just finished his song. A shadow drifted down. It was the shadow of Ludwig Von Baroketch, the piano player from the library. He replaced Mickey's shadow. "Well, kids," Mickey was saying, "I hoped you liked that song! Now, let's all eat some candy!"

The kids all looked down at Mickey's shadow, which had turned into the shadow of a huge monster. They screamed.

"What's that!" asked Donald.

"It appears to be a projection of a shadow," Mickey said calmly.

Up on the castle, Ezra was disgusted. "Projection! Poor Ludwig! That's like saying we're dummies hung behind mirrors with lights shone on them, thus giving an illusion of us sitting next to the guests! We'll show 'Pepper's Ghost' the Mouse what scaring is really about!"

"This guy talks too much," said Emily. The ghosts all flew down, moaning. The kids took one look at them and ran away in horror, clearing the party in seconds.

"That was easy," said Gus. Mickey raced over. "You ruined the party!"

"Yeah, ya know what I say to that?" asked Gus. He swung his ball and chain at Mickey, knocking him over. "Now you're Gus's size!"

"I always thought he was too big for a mouse..." remarked Phineas.

A few ballroom ghosts waltzed down Main Street, pausing to scare guests. Ezra watched them, getting an idea. And when Ezra got an idea, as you've learned, he always carries it out. "You know, why stop here? I say we give the whole park a scare!"

The ghosts agreed and flew through the Magic Kingdom. The Suit of Armor hid in Cinderella's Castle, jumping out at various people. Wolfgang Elias Furlong, the organ player, replaced Sonny Eclipse and sent a heard of ghostly flying skulls after the people in the restaurant. Ezra flew through any thrill ride he could find whispering "I heard someone died on this ride." Several of the other ghosts flew through Pirates of the Carribean, animating the dead skeletons and having them battle with the pirates and scare the guests. ("Where's you Johnny Depp now, boys?")

The Hatbox Ghost ran over to one little kid. "Watch as my head disappears and reappears in my hatbox!" Nothing happened. "Darn. I never could get that trick to work..."

No one noticed a periscope coming out of the Walt and Mickey "Partners" statue. In his underground tunnel bunker sat Mickey Mouse, watching the ghosts and the guests. At the park's gate, he saw almost everyone, including most of the other Disney characters, leaving. He turned to Minnie.

"What do we do?" cried Minnie. "Those ghosts are crazy!"

"Don't worry! I've got an inside man working down there!"

In Liberty Square, Goofy was walking around dressed as Jacob Marley. "Pardon me, fellas!"

"Wish I had those chains..." said Gus.

Mickey put his plan into action. In one of Goofy's cashboxes was a walkie-talkie that Mickey talked through. "Okay, Goofy, now lead them to a different park!"

"Let's all go to Hong Kong Disneyland!" said Goofy, not getting it.

"No!" came Mickey's voice, loud enough for the other ghosts to hear. "Sea World or Universal Studios or something! But not a Disney park!" The ghosts all walked away. It was painfully clear that Goofy wasn't one of them, even before Mickey gave him away. After all, he hosted a character dinner a few yards away from the mansion!

Mickey watched from below. "I should have used Donald! At least his face is on a chair in the Haunted Mansion..."

Michel Eisner was standing behind Mickey. "Mickey, I know you won't agree with me, for some reason you guys never do, but I've decided to merge our park with Six Flags!"

Mr. Six, the old Six Flags guy, danced by. Mickey screamed and ran away. Eisner turned back into Gracey, and Mr. Six turned back into Emily.

"Who says I'm not scary?" smiled Gracey.

"If you EVER make me turn into an old guy again..."

The ghosts cheered as they watched Mickey run out of the park. A howl was heard.

"Was that a howl for victory?" asked Phineas.

"No, he howls every eight seconds."

"Hey, I've got an idea..." said Ezra (yes, he has a lot of ideas) "the night is young, and we've got the rest of the park to haunt! Let's see how fast we can evacuate MGM Studios!"

With another cheer, the ghosts all flew towards their next park. Goofy followed, thinking he was still working with them. "Wait for me!" Tripping over his chains, Goofy attempts to keep up with the ghosts.


And who knows what awaits them there?
