The
Haunted Mansion
The gang
got an invitation to go to Eustace Strych's house for a Halloween
party. Of course, once again, Jimmy said he'd rather gargle liqiud
nitrogen than go. The first time, Jimmy didn't want to because he
was jealous. He likes Cindy, but Cindy likes Eustace, not him. But
he's not supposed to like her because she's trying to beat Jimmy
by becoming the smartest kid in Retroville (not the second smartest).
Cindy and
Libby were excited to see Eustace, Jimmy had on a scowl, Carl was
excited to see Eustace's llama collection, and Sheen was excited to
see the Ultralord room. Eustace shook Sheen and Carl's hands. "Nice
to see you" he said. He gave a Libby a hug. When Cindy came in,
Eustace's eyes grew wide in excitement. "Hi, Cindy, dear." He
said and bent down to kiss Cindy on the hand. Jimmy scowled at
Eustace as he came in. "Oh, hello, Neutron." Eustace said
sarcastically. "Cindy, why don't we go have some Purple Flurp
and ice cream? The rest of you can explore my place".
Cindy
and Eustace went to the table as Carl, Libby and Sheen went to the
entrance room. It was kind of yellow; that is, not lemon yellow, but
kind of light yellow and pictures and the sides were wood. The room
was kind of round. They were just standing around checking out the
room when the door slammed. They all screamed. Then, the walls
started to expand and the power went off. They screamed. Luckily
it went back on. "Okay, what in Ultralord's name is going on
here?" asked Sheen. "I don't know. Maybe nothing else scary
will happen, and we can move on." Said Libby. "Okay." Said
Carl. "Let's go."
They
moved into a hall made up of wood and pictures. It suddenly started
raining, thundering, and lightning. They screamed. If the thunder
wasn't scary enough, when a crack of thunder would go off, the
picture showed the person or animal in the picture's skeleton.
They screamed. "Okay. One more freaky room and I'm telling
Eustace." said a freaked out Libby. She went into another dining
room and saw ghosts everywhere! She ran away and screamed. "What's
wrong, Libby, dear. You look like you just saw a ghost." said
Eustace. Cindy kicked Eustace under the table for calling Libby dear.
Cindy's thinks Eustace's world revolves around her. "Ouch."
said Eustace under his breath. Libby was out of breath. "I did"
said an out-of breath Libby. "Nah, dear. You're probably just
hallucinating. This place doesn't have any ghosts." Cindy kicked
Eustace under the table for the second time. 'I did , I really
did. It was scary." said a still-out-of-breath Libby. "The only
thing that's scary in this place, Libs, is how paranoid you're
being." said Cindy. "Libby's right. We saw ghosts." Said
Jimmy. 'Oh, and just because you're a genius, you think I'm
going to believe you." Said Eustace.
Jimmy
went to his hoverbot and went over to his lab. He wanted to make an
invention that would track down the ghosts. Unfortunately, it
wouldn't be all charged up for 3 hours. "My invention will show
you that there really are ghosts lurking here." said Jimmy. "Okay
then, nerd. Show it to me." Eustace said. "It's still charging
up. It'll be a while." said Jimmy. "Okay" said Eustace,
leaning back in his chair. "You're not leaving until you show
me at least one ghost." said Eustace. "No. I'm not staying in
this creepy place." Libby said trying to escape. "Why are you
calling it creepy? This is the least creepy place. There are no
ghosts." said a defiant Eustace. "That's because you've never
seen one." Replied Libby. "And I never will." said Eustace,
still not believing that the place is haunted.
Since
they knew they were staying for a while, Sheen, Carl and Libby made
themselves at home. They stayed in the room that Eustace and Cindy
were in. A few times, they did see a ghost float by, it would be gone
by the time Eustace looked, making him angrier and angrier. Finally,
it had been 3 hours. "Goddard, bring me the Ghost Tracker 5000".
The ghost tracked that there was a ghost in Eustace's room.
"Eustace, go to your room." said Jimmy. "Oh, be quiet, Neutron.
You're starting to sound like my parents." said an angry Eustace.
"Go" Said Jimmy. "Okay. Whatever." said Eustace reluctantly
trudging to his room.
"You
think he'll see the ghost?" asked Cindy. Suddenly, Eustace let
out a bloodcurdling scream. "I'll take that as a yes." Said
Libby. "I'M SORRY I DOUBTED YOU, NEUTRON! JUST GET RID OF
IT!" Jimmy went on his hoverbot. He invented a machine
called The Ghost Buster 5000, but it wouldn't be ready for 3 hours.
For those 3 hours, Eustace was being chased around all over the
mansion by ghosts and he was running around like a chicken with
its head cut off. (Okay, that's not a visual Eustace would like to
see right now). The invention Jimmy made was very similar to that of
the one he used to get rid of the Twonkies. He ran around chasing
the ghosts. The ghosts were gone.
