Return To Hill House

Disclaimers: I don't own the story or the characters, the plot line belongs to me, everything else belongs to Shirley Jackson and Jan De Bont.

Warnings: for this chapter, they're making a visit back to the house, for the week, before their mission, so from here the story starts heating up as he reflects on the day after and his latest notes, before the trouble starts the next night when they barely survive the attack, before they return to the house a second time and things change directions from there.

While the quartet have their counterparts joining in, but it's a clashing of the movie and real life from here as things change directions now.

Chapter 16: Playful Fights, Repeated Pranks And The Fireplace

"Hey, alright Eddie that's it, you asked for it and now you're going to get it." she said as I heard a pillow fight break out at that. "Like Robby said, our resident practical joker just ticked off our young firebird and she's ready to beat the crap out of him." Luke said and I looked out the door to see her hit a silver robed ninja repeatedly at that. "Jamie cool down that wasn't on purpose, he was just showing us new his costume, so take it easy."

"And Eddie, don't ever do that again." Derek said through his laughter as Eddie dropped his arms as the five of us tried to keep from laughing at that as we went to them. As I saw 9 more sets of colored coded robes in the hall and I got the idea. "Hey, hey, alright I don't care who started it, I'm ending it now break it up already guys, cool it already." Luke said as he tried to keep from laughing at that as we walked into the hall at that.

"Sarah did you create the robes, so this way you could be with us in human form right now?" Theo asked and the pink nodded gently to us and I smiled at that. "Nice idea, with you not having a human face unless you..." Eleanor started to say as they removed their hoods and I saw their faces then. "I get the idea, you grabbed several bottle of hair dye and a few other things, including make up, so you could be with us now in person."

"So though in the 1900's it's like it was in the Wild West and you three are the only African Americans in your gang, so rather then your normal appearance. You chose to look like the kids on the tv show?" Luke asked and Andy shook his head as I thought it over and it hit me. "The kids in the tv show are your doubles, you mean they're what you looked at this age right now guys?" I said and he gave me a nod as Eleanor said it then.

"So Walter Jones's appearance in season 2, Thuy Trang, Austin Saint John, Amy Jo Johnson, David Yost, and Jason David Frank, that's season 1 to the first half of season 2. Steve Cardenas, Johnny Yong Bosch, Karen Ashley, Catherine Sutherland. That's Season 2 to 3 and right into Zeo and turbo now is Nakia Burrise. Alright so you just dyed your hair, got the right skin make up and contacts and here you are now, well that helps."

"I know I can expect things to get out of hand when you're playing around guys, but when you want to possess the billiard balls. Then do it when we're not in the room with you after you blasted your brother, first into the piano and then into the bookshelf Sarah. And the same goes for you, Andy." she said and they nodded in agreement. "You ever listen to this one guys?" Jamie asked as she pulled miniature cd player out then.

And she played Bryan Adams theme to Robin Hood: Prince of thieves for him and he smiled at that song and he nodded. "That's Tommy all the way before she left the show." Sarah asked and Jame nodded and we exchanged grins as they got them settled. "We can figure that in, but I'll ask why you said that later, then again, Beth, Jack and I were in the room for it." Dudley said and she nodded as I heard a gentle chuckle to that.

"Rick, where this is concerned I kept the same list that she had and the medical supplies are ready in case that happens again. Everything I left for the kids it's back in the dining room sitting on top of the china hutch right now. " Becky said and we nodded. "Yeah a good thing too right now, with my being a trained medical psychiatrist." I said as Eleanor said in relief to that gently as she answered her.

"Alright well that helps, Dave and I are both psychiatrists and I'm here as the M.D. this time, so I'm going to need that list. So I know what's in that bag, before I can go over medical and food allergies Malcolm." Rick called out as he walked in from the bedroom as she leaned against the wall. Moving to her, Liam rubbed her shoulder and I hid a smile as she answered her at that remark, and I knew we got her real voice at that remark.

"You already know you can see us, but to help it's finding a better way for you to see us till I remembered this. The people that didn't have our gift, they had to disguise themselves as ghosts in bedsheets. But for you, we grabbed recordings of the characters voices, and a bunch of cosmetics. And patterns to make the robes and clothes so you could, baby." she said and Eleanor nodded to that news.

"Mom if you did the same thing I want to see you, dad you too." she said and I smiled. "I never saw the photos you had of your mother, but hearing her voice for real, rather then in handwriting this should be interesting right now." Mary said in response to that gently. "Like I said, the demeanor of Spengler when it came to the paranormal and the sense of humor of Venkman to go with it." she said and I heard a gentle chuckle from her at that.

"That's the truth baby, but just remember everything I taught you in this, and son, keep your emotions under control this fall in case that happens again." I heard from Becky in response and we nodded then. "Yeah I realize that mom, but that's enough of the playing with the inanimate objects in your cases, guys." I said in response and she chuckled and I knew she nodded as Eleanor looked at her uncle at that gently.

"What version did you choose in your appearance Andy, his original look when he joined the team or what he looks like before they retired?" she asked and he smiled as he nodded to his original color and I nodded. "So you styled your original appearances on your double's when they started out, but got the third year. And the movie and created robes in your favorite ranger colors, alright if that's the case, I want to see your face."

"Andy." she said and the white robed figure removed his hood as I saw a younger version of the green ranger on the show. And I smiled as he walked over to her and she gave him a hug as he pressed his forehead to her. "We heard their voices and then Sarah, Robby and I decided and agreed that was easiest way. So we could talk to you finally, as I decided to borrow his voice and the 11 in the same way did their's."

"And we chose to look and sound like them, but this is me when I was a kid and coming up on 14, Eleanor, you have me back. And we can talk to you finally as we explain what the heck happened that night." he said and we nodded. "So you can talk to us like this finally, and we can at least be together finally now." she said, before I felt something tap me on the back and I turned to my mother-in-law.

"Nell." Mary said and she turned as she smiled in delight to see her parents then. "Mom, dad." she said and moved to them as I watched Rebecca's ghost hug her tightly, before Rob did the same thing then. "Hey baby girl, don't worry until you're ready to let us go we're staying as long as possible with you now honey." Rob said and she smiled and buried her head into his shoulder then as he hugged her tightly at that.

"Alright who's idea was this exactly if you wanted to surprise us Becky, because I wasn't expecting this. Or that you choose and chose to act like the spirit animals and possess the uniforms right now?" I asked and I saw a smile cross her face as she answered me and I nodded as I shook my head smiling at that gently. "It was mine David, in truth I'd been working out a way all year so I could be with you in some form."

"Till the kids suggested we spend the next 18 months buying and dressing in clothes that are in this time frame. And instead of their's and I spent close $20,000 to pay for the supplies needed to do that. But the medallions were created out of 500 gold coins and stamped with the symbols. And of the original 9 rangers and we added three more to the collection at the moment."

"So this was the triplets Halloween and Christmas gift now as you guys are going to be here til the spring semester of next year, Malcolm. Though at the moment the added idea also came off that Chevy Chase movie that Sam Neil played in at the time. So we combined both plans together as a result and then that was it, so you can see us in person." she said and we nodded to that gently.

As the trio nodded in shock as they answered her at that as they exchanged looks to that. "Five hundred gold coins or 5 bars, solid gold bars, and you created 15 power coins out of these?" Derek said smiling in shock and they nodded. "They didn't want to feel left out and we created robes and costumes. And that match the ones that you wore, for Halloween for several year." Rebecca said and they nodded smiling.

"Nice touch well if this is our birthday and Christmas gifts of last year, one last Christmas and birthday from you that's fine, thank you." Jamie said and she nodded to her. "Like you thought, that though your father was my boss. I still saw you three as more my grandchildren then Richard ever was now. Playing favorites maybe, we stuck to our own kind, they're non believers." she said and the trio nodded to her.

"It was your idea now, you decided to spend the last 11 months gathering what supplies were needed so you could create the robes and then $50,000, in hair dye and make up. Just so you could show us what you truly looked like now at the moment?" Theo asked and they all nodded. "Memoirs of an invisible man, dad?" Eleanor asked and he nodded to her, as Dylan answered the next question as he looked at us smiling then gently

"In this case, it's the act of choosing and looking like the actors and actresses on the tv show and in truth we had three African Americans. And two other nationalities in the hockey team, so you can interact with us like this guys, ladies." Dylan said to her and we nodded to that. "Well do me a favor and stop possessing the carvings guys, okay." she said and the 12 nodded to her gently at that.

"Is that make up long lasting or do you need to reapply it right now?" Jason asked and Rose explained gently and he nodded. "It's the type that lasts seven hours between applications, Jase, so this way, though we're ghosts. But you can now interact with us, and like we're regular kids now, but fifteen preteens. And we knew your favorite colors and created these three for you at the time."

"But we got a way to create the uniforms and we created them as well so you're dressed in your colors like we are and the medallions were the next stage up. But the coins in the Harry Potter novels, the gold ones were the size of hubcaps and we created 12 of them and then created three more for you guys." She said as they gave them their's and they smiled at that as Luke answered that.

"You guys start going at it and do it the playroom guys, or we're winding up in the middle of it, now get it together right now." Luke said smiling as Andy moved to Jamie and pressed his head to hers and she closed her eyes. "Sarah's his everything, and the quintet his world and this trip and the entire summer, they make up his life now." Derek said as he hid a smile as he saw his robes in forest green and I nodded to that.

"Yeah I get it, Andy's in white and I'm in green now, he's my favorite ranger anyway, Jamie loves Kim and she gave her the shade of pink Kim had originally. And Sarah has Kat's shade of pink in the second generation of the show. So pinkish violet and hot pink and Jason's favorite ranger happened to be Jason himself. And he gave him a darker tinge to his cherry red robes, as Robby also has the gold diamonds on his robes."

"So Jason has the original red's original tinge, but two shades darker in the cherry red, and Robby himself has the indication of the second leader of the power team. And the gold is the indicator of the leader of the secondary team." he said as I saw someone walking up and Andy quickly put himself in front of her protectively at that as I saw the look on the newcomers face as he looked her over and I nodded to his response.

"Aw crap not again, alright that's it Daniel I've had enough of this right now after you knocked Jenny across the room. And you nearly broke Eddie's leg, so don't push me and don't start Bateman. Just leave her alone, or you're getting detention for a month, so again, keep your hands off her right now, Bateman." I heard in Austin St. John's voice as Robby moved forward as he, Dylan Billy.

And Jake moved next to Andy. "Rob, don't lose your temper, this is neither the time nor place for this altercation. And we're surrounded by our parental guardians, calm down, we don't need a fight breaking out right now. " I heard in Catherine Sutherland's voice at that. "Rob, she's right, don't lose your temper, the coach is in the room with us, just cool down." Sarah said in Amy Jo Johnson's voice.

"If that tells me anything, it's with him being a ghost and with the fact he can't get to Sarah, he's about to target my baby sister now. And I'm the oldest of the three of us and with that, Daniel don't even think about it, touch her and I'll kill you again. So keep your hands to yourself and stay away from my sister." Jason said as he crossed his arms as Robby moved to his and Andy's side to stand in front of the girls as he crossed his arms.

"Sheesh, just when you think things can't get any stranger, then this happens right now, so we're hearing your voices in that of the actors that played the entire team. And for five years guys, so we can get used to this now, and it's the same for your brother and sister, Caroline and Nell's parents, Andy." Mary asked and Andy nodded. "Yeah Mary it is, but remember what we said guys okay." he said and the triplets nodded to I'm.

Just as Robby was answering, the character in a orange jersey and sweatpants shoved Eddie and she saw the name Daniel Bateman on the makeshift jersey then. "Sarah is he the one that doesn't know when to quit, regarding you, you belong to my uncle in law. And he's like the punk who won't take know for an answer if your father was still alive, then he jail him for sexual harassment?" I asked as I crossed my arms at that response.

"Yeah he is, with Robbie, Jenny and Eddie leaving, Andy and Billy got more protective, to them, he doesn't know when to quit at the moment. But I prefer a man who understands, that I'm not ready for that, to me. It's a man like you, Todd or Luke, you're more preferable to a man like him Doctor. But this was why Andy smacked him in the head last year." she said to me and we nodded firmly.

"Great that's terrific, he styled his appearance, like the kid that was constantly messing with her at the time. Alright young man, I'm making it very clear here, you touch her like that and you're ending up in isolation and I'm not kidding. Keep your hands to yourself, Daniel, I'm not having a fight break out the next six weeks. And the same goes for you, Joey, keep your hands to yourself." I said sternly as Malcolm finished that remark

And she gave me a nod. "I'm just saying this now, but stay the hell away from my daughter, Daniel, so come near her and you're in serious trouble." Malcolm said sharply then to him and Rob pointed to the east wing and he shook his head then. "I really hope you got a recording of your voice Becky, so we can hear your voice again right now." Benson said in response as I heard her voice for real answer him then gently at that.

"I did, and Daniel, we made it clear already during this trip or the summer program, you're to behave yourself. But touch her or the girls like that again and you're getting put in detention for two months, now hands off right now." she said and Eleanor sighed. "Jesus, alright with the fact I got you back like this you can explain things to me, but dad, you better just tell him to get back to his dormitory."

"Because Jamie's coming with the girls and me as we got grocery shopping at the moment." she said and I heard Rob say it firmly. "Sarah, guys, get changed into a set of sweats in your color guys, you're coming with us, while dad and the trio are dealing with this right now." Jamie said and the quintet nodded to the request as they left the hall as they came back fifteen minutes later and dressed as normal preteens smiling then.

"Anyone sees you like this, they're going to realize that the catch of the haunting of hill house turned into the first 4 1/2 seasons of the power rangers right now, girls. But you better just use the voice boxes so we can talk in the car now." she added and the quintet nodded. "As normal teenagers in this case, we're eating like regular kids, but whoever of the next grade level down is about to possess the billiard table."

"Let alone pull what we did at the dinner table guys so get ready for that." Kate said and I nodded as I saw my suitcase being pulled into the hall and trying to leave corridor then. "You had to say that baby, mom, our youngest kid is walking off with my husband's stuff." Eleanor said to her at that. "Alright hold it pal, Eric freeze." Rebecca said and it quickly tried moving down the hall at that before Rob grabbed it at that.

"Like I said, this just took the word strange to a whole new level." Luke said laughing at that as he said with a bemused smile in his tone. "So this is what you looked like before your heart attack Rebecca?" Theo asked and she nodded. "Yes honey, it is, and like the message said, I knew your parents quite well, that's why I chose you. And in addition to the quartet, but you four are what the quartet are like."

"You three saw each other as cousins, though really close bonds, your assumption was right. When in the mental conversation that you and my daughter shared, though you were the same age or a year younger. It didn't matter your mothers and I knew that though you never got along. And with your siblings, you were beyond close as cubs." she said and we all nodded smiling.

"Yeah well we been the best of friends since that first night together, in truth, I'm relieved you chose us as her trio, before we met the quartet." Luke told her and she chuckled. "Hey grandma." Jamie said to her and she smiled and gave her a hug at that as the boys did the same. "I'm glad you guys kept in touch with my daughter, though I was gone Malcolm." she said and he smiled at her as he answered her at that.

"Extra catch, to Dana and me, we thought of her as a part of the family ever since, and to her she loved the triplets. Like her own nieces and nephews Becky, though I wasn't expecting you to page us through the chalk board that day, so knowing that was you was enough to help. So is this what you needed us to investigate, in cracking the legend of the house and Craine wide open?" he asked and she nodded to him gently to that.

As she answered him at that. "Yes it is, Malcolm, the pieces she got were the ones, the more gruesome parts of the legends, but what she told you a bit ago. That's what we really meant by taking the investigation slow, and Andy was really my favorite uncle in the extended family. Though I never met him and my grandfather and great aunt were haunting the house till we got rid of Hugh."

"The areas that were left out were the piece that the kids and my grandmother were trying to get you to realize. But she wasn't kidding, when she told you that, though sick and out of work and working from home. I kept up her training till I started getting worse at the time, but things the last two years. And before she met you were hardest on her at the time honey, kids, in truth now."

"You all guess right, you were exactly the therapy I wanted for my daughter at the time. As everything Jane kept annoying her about was fixed once I was gone and you covered everything that was needed." she said and we nodded to that remark firmly. "So if this is what you look like then what does Caroline look like?" Luke asked and a minute later, a woman no older then she was appeared at that.

And wearing a second copy of the pendant around her neck as I turned to look at the portrait behind me and and nodded. She set her age to what she looked like in the painting. "Grandma?" Eleanor said in shock and she nodded and she smiled. "I knew that truth is far stranger then fiction, but this took that remark to an entirely new level right now." Malcolm and I said together as we exchanged looks with her, Mary and Dana.

"Alright just where did her powers of second sight come from exactly, if she saw everything we never caught?" Theo asked and she explained that. "My side of the family had several gifts of perception. But in many ways we're like the woman that the parapsychologist brought in. Before they yanked the girl out of the void, in that movie based on the supernatural and a deranged spirit."

"But this is what she meant, sometimes the truth is far scarier then fiction, and trying to rationalize everything. That is going to make it harder not to see these things, until you get a full view like what you saw. When Hugh attacked her in the bedroom and you broke the door down. Truthfully she needed to hear that truth from me or from Rebecca now." Caroline told us and we nodded to that.

"Too late, tracking her thoughts was my only way to find her after he scared her into breaking the window, but I'm not having her working. And until she collapses this time in this case, though what I will say is you're all sticking around for a while. Well just do it like this right now, because she needs you guys to talk to. And I need added back up support as he scared the duo into breaking parental orders by Rob that night."

"But with our knowledge of the house, we can prevent that from happening twice, but with a medical department in the house, we got a way to do this right now, and Rick is here with us so he can act as the medical department right now, with a couple nurses involved." I said and they nodded as she got ready to answer me. "Yes well the more medical members of the team the better, but do not tick him off again."

"But that was an attempt to kill, this time if she doesn't dodge at the right moment and he could kill her for real now. So be careful and time it correctly, and secondly never turn your back on the statues or the painting. The ones with spikes on the top of them, understood" Caroline said and the we nodded. "No kidding after what happened that night, we're not risking it, for a second time now."

"Although if he slams the doors on us and someone is going to freak out enough to try and break out. That they're going to cut their hands in the way the caretaker of that asylum did." Luke said and I nodded in agreement. "We better make sure we got all the supplies for this, but spared no expense and we prevent a lawsuit, as we make it clear what they're getting into." I said and Malcolm nodded in agreement to that remark.

"So we're yanking a case of triage in the team right now, but no one is flipping out enough we got to arrest and restrain them, clear?" Rick asked and I nodded in agreement to that. "Yeah we are, any normal person that never did this before, like we hadn't is going to have a panic attack from this right now. So everyone that did it before, watch the new guys, you see the isolation getting to them, tell me." I said and they all nodded to that remark gently.

"Between now and the summer program, we're just working out the kinks right now, but once the summer starts. We treat this the way that Montegue did it on the movie, we set a schedule for the day and once things settle everyone watch the new guys. But no one is being left alone, and 2) no one is separating from the group after dark, clear, as the Dudleys are going to be gone, and it's just us." I said and they nodded to the orders as Malcolm took it then.

"Eric, at the current moment, we got to get this under control, but look out for the ones that are likely to flip out. And secondly the night he starts going all out, lock up the alcohol, every drop." Malcolm said to the orderly standing next to him and me and he nodded as he looked from me to Eleanor at that gently as he said it. "Doc, what are the chances of this turning into a repeater?" he asked and I sighed as I said it to him then.

"Extremely high, for the parapsychologists, things like this aren't going to rattle them all that easily she was staying calm there, but when you got a character like the Kane guy coming after a single member. That's when you got to be worried, because it's going to scare the victim enough they're in shock until they can recover enough to tell you just what happened this time." I said and he nodded in agreement to that news.

"Was she thinking clearly enough to tell you what she saw exactly?" Rick asked and I nodded. "After telling me what she saw, this time now I had to write up the report, before I went to investigate what she was looking into and the pit trap door was wedged shut, because the crow bar was still in there. Before he scared her enough to break the window and he was chasing her around the upstairs till we found her in the greenhouse at the time."

"But no one is going to break out, but either way we got to stick together on the third night, after the mystery starts getting worse. And whoever brought the gun into the house and is paranoid enough that he's pointing it directly at us it's distraction and division. And we sedate them and put them in restraints, but we may have to create a lock up and get everything that is dangerous out of the room." I said and Malcolm, Rick and Eric nodded in agreement to that.

"Yeah there had better be another way out of the house, and without going into the greenhouse, the windows or through the front door." Luke said and Todd nodded, just as I was answering, we heard something else downstairs. "There has to be a way out of this house, some way, hey." "What?" "I'm talking to you?!" we heard and I covered my eyes at that as we exchanged looks at this situation then as the four of us nodded.

"Deja vu, where did we heard that from?" Theo asked and I nodded as Luke answered that, before he could though I heard several shouts and then a female voice. "Hey cool it, if everyone is going to scream at each other could you do it in another room please." they said and we nodded in agreement. "Well if that says anything, I think they're rehearsing the other movie, before it gets even more out of hand here."

"And even more then it has already right now, before someone is spooked enough to start getting violent like this." Todd said to that and we nodded in agreement to that remark. "Sarah whatever you do, don't over do it, to them you look real, but you're a ghost." I said and she nodded to the orders. "You were there for the first night, but we had the next two and then the house went berserk as we were trying to get to her."

"At the moment the house reacted in the way the other But I got a look at her hands, they were red from her possibly getting thrown out of the bed. And across the room the night, before he went all out that night, but I made the mistake. And of turning my back to the statue that night, just before he attacked her in the bedroom and scared her into a paralysis." I said and they nodded as Caroline got ready to answer me then

"That happens again right now and I'm going to kill him for a second time, if he touches her at all like that again, mother." I heard a male voice say and looked up to see a man that looked like Christian Bale walk into the hall. With a young woman that looked like Ryder when she played in Little Women. "Grandpa?" Eleanor said in shock and he nodded and she smiled in delight as she moved to him and he gave her a hug at that.

As he hold her tightly at that as he answered her smiling then softly. "Yes baby it's me and I meant it, you made so proud, you were the true heir to my side of the family." he said and she nodded to him smiling. "So I had it right, this was the time when you were in the middle of the civil war, and you both look like the actors that played these characters." she said and he smiled as Alicia answered her gently.

And at that remark."This is actually what we looked like when we were alive." she said and we nodded in shock to that news. "A 130 years honey, remember the history lesson on the house right now, that was around the civil war baby, father had us stationed here."

"And by then after mother discovered Renee's body in the pit and the ending results were she decided to dig deeper now." he added and she nodded to that news at that remark. "I take it, he also had several servants working in this house along with him and Renee, we found several servant bells in our rooms." I asked and she nodded to me. "If that explains the bells, then yeah." Tony said and I nodded as they answered that question then

"We did, but it was after the slaughter of one age group and then Andrew's that mother got us out of the house. And with half a quadrillion each in every currency there was, your side of the family at the time. Well they made it last the entire 100 years to now, after we hit our current ages, but we chose young adult instead of middle to talk to you now." Fred told me and I nodded to him gently.

"Whoa, alright watch it will you blast it!" I heard and then had to duck as the ball went flying over my head at that. "Andrew, if you guys want to go at it, you better take it easy, before we get caught in the middle. Especially if you possess the billiard balls again." Alicia said to her brother and he nodded with a bemused smile on his face at that as Eleanor closed her eyes as tried to keep from laughing at that as I hid a smile in agreement.

"With us in this decade and century, I think we better stick to my nickname Alicia, Fred." he said and they both nodded to that remark with a bemused smile. "And one other thing you guys, the next person that gets thrown into the fireplace, fountain or the wall. Said is grounded from training and I see another blow up and you're all ending up in detention for it right now, and I mean that."

"And two you want to get rough with each other then take it outside in the yard out front next to the gate." Rebecca said and the twelve nodded to the orders as Rob moved to her at that. "And we mean that cubs, I'm your sports coach, so get that under control here." Rob said and Rick and Beth started laughing. "Boys, you have homework to do anyway, so get back to your dormitory, right now." Fred said to them sternly at that.

"I want it written right, because the next fail causes you to lose your position on the team. Now get back up there, you're in there till after dinner but your curfew is 10:30, now go." Rob said to them sternly and Daniel quickly said it to that. "Daniel I don't want to hear it, if I have to act like their principal or their police instructor I will." he added to them firmly and the duo looked at him in shock at that remark as Joey answered him.

"Coach we got all weekend to do it, why do it now?" he said and Rob said it firmly. "Because I'm not having a fight break out between you and the boys and that's including her brothers, now get back to your dorm, now." he said as he jabbed sternly at that corridor and he lowered his head and left the hall. And with Joey walking with him back to their dormitory then and Eleanor nodded as I said for all of us.

"Dad, did you designate the dorms in the house and they're near your apartment, so you can keep an eye on those two, while the 12 are in their own dormitory. I know they're into soccer and hockey, so they're the troublemakers on the team. And they're in the isolation wing until we leave and return to Boston at the current moment. But the duo here are barred from the girls, but these fights between them at the moment.".

"As last year was enough to annoy us after Daniel knocked Eddie down the stairs that morning?" I asked and he nodded to me as she said it for him then. "We did David and with it is the fact that with them being the troublemakers of the team. But these two don't know when to quit, but the added children you met are Eddie's cousin. Ricky and the quintet who acted like the tougher version to the original quintet."

"And before Tommy lost his powers and switched colors on the show, just before he and Kimberly got together for good and they met their new friends, the rest of their new team." Rebecca said and he finished that remark and we nodded as we got it as he looked at the triplets. "So who's who?" Jamie asked and the seven moved forward as boy in a purplish indigo color walked forward as he smiled at her gently as he said it to her then.

"Hey Jamie, guys, my name is Carter, this is Adam and the quintet are Kimberly, Jared, Aaron, Jack and Caroline." he said and they nodded to them. "Nice to meet all of you, so you guys were doing this season by season. I take it Sarah told you as well and you took both sides in that?" Jason asked and they all nodded to him smiling at that. "Yeah and like the girls aside from Jenny sided with Sarah, Kim and I now."

"We did the same at the time, once she told us this right now and frankly we're all ticked at how close they came to destroying the town. And out of miscommunication right now, but honestly if he just did. As he was supposed to do, they wouldn't be in such hot water with their parents. We were as disgusted as the 12 were when we heard what the heck happened to her this time."

"Though if this was us, as we're not active rangers though we know the truth, and Eddie won't have to worry about the quintet killing him. And it's because the quintet and our parents will." Caroline told her and we all nodded to that. "No kidding, but again if it's not your love life then stay out of this right now. It's between them and that's where it stays, never takes sides or it destroys a friendship as a result."

"But trust me taking sides in a situation destroys a team here and a friendship, they may trust you to watch their backs. But until she made her choice, she's never going to trust you until she's ready to bury the hatchet. So give her time and space, and once she's ready to trust you again. Then they'll be ready to give you a chance, until then, you have to be patient right now." Eleanor said and I nodded in agreement to that thought.

"It's keeping him separated from the girls, so it's they're in the isolation wing of the dormitory. But your children have the 12 as playmates, and I'm retired as firefighter. I'm combination coach, all sports and martial arts, and I'm a teacher. So guys you got a tutor here prior to break starting so 4 hours a day and then its in whatever sport you like." Rob said and the triplets nodded to him.

"Yeah this is the age I remember you now mom, but if dad was alive, we just added the 18 years to his looks now." Eleanor said and he smiled and nodded to her as he gave her a hug. "I know you missed me baby, I know that, that's why I set this up for you and the trio when you were here, so though not here physically. You knew I was involved by everything you found." Rebecca said and she nodded as she hugged her mother.

As we smiled at that remark. "Yeah and I found your necklace hanging from the head of the bed, but Dave took up our thoughts. But she sold the apartment, and Rudy is here, and she's suing her and Lou for lying to her and robbing her half the check. As I gave my half of the money back to her." she said and they nodded. "Well you read out the test as I wanted you too, because it doesn't take a rocket scientist, now."

"To realize that was not an offer, but inquisition to know that this was a financial bait and switch, and you got it like I wanted you to. But though jealous, that doesn't give her or Lou the right to treat you like this, but he's a lawyer and Dave is a medical psychiatrist. So once he gets to Peter, and there is no going back, but he did exactly as I wanted him to." she said and we nodded smiling at that remark softly then.

"Becky, I swear you keep this up and I'm going to have a real heart attack after what the heck was going on in this house. When we realized what it was you were trying to tell us last year, but with you doing a gentle haunting in the house is one thing. Doing one along the lines of the House On Haunted Hill is going too far right now, so watch it already." Beth told her and she nodded to her at that remark and they hid a smile to that remark then gently.

As Jamie nodded to Andy and he looked at her with a gentle smile on his face and as Sarah touched her back and she smiled and nodded to her. As I saw Sarah's robes and saw a hot pink tinge to it and nodded. "Eddie, do that again and you're taking it to the head next, so stop screwing around pal." Jamie said and he gave her a playful grin and Katie passed her the pillow and she hit him with it and he covered his head in response.

As Rose hit her and she smacked her back. "Oh boy fifteen preteens and tonight's the story so at least this time they're sitting around listening to this at the moment." Theo said, before I saw 20 grey uniforms with the make up of the original putties on the tv show and covered my eyes. "It's just turned into a warzone in the house this weekend, wherever you're doing this, don't do it too close to the furniture or us, kids."

"And while you guys are ghosts, my children aren't, so keep the martial arts under control here this weekend before you break something, guys." Dana said as the 20 of us exchanged bemused looks at the fact they yanked out the tv show card. "And we did take martial arts as well, so Sarah are you my equal in in training, I'm a red belt. And the guys are black belts first degree?" Jamie asked and Sarah nodded to her smiling.

As we exchanged looks. "I think we started something with the kids always together right now as the results are its about to turn into a martial arts training area here." Theo said and I nodded with a bemused smile on my face at that as Eleanor said it for me. "Girls don't start right now, you guys can play later, now come I need a list. And of what you guys want to snack on with you guys here for the next week right now."

"Then again with us all here, we need to keep this under control, but we got twelve professionals in a mixture of parapsychology and psychology. With that profession is an architect and contractor, a curator for a museum and a artist who specializes in everything. So someone watch out for the side effects, we got a lot of work to do around right now, to fix the damage at the current moment." she said and they nodded to that.

But just as I was answering we heard it. "Hey dad, whatever you had before it just happened again here, somebody defaced the painting even further over here." Jason called out from the front hall and we nodded and went to look and I sighed. "I saw the movie, but we all know what type of person Nellie is right now." Peter said in shock and I nodded in agreement as we went to check and the quartet exchanged looks at this.

"Yeah and we were all in the bedroom this entire time as well." Tony said and Carol and Janet nodded in agreement as I said it to that. "Yeah, and this time we were together the whole time, so we know we never did it, nor did Theo and Luke." I said and Eleanor took my hand as the duo moved to us at that. "This is another sick joke and we all got a better sense of humor then this." Luke said and I nodded in agreement to that remark.

"Not us, and not you, the Watts were also in our room, along with mine and Malcolm's team, Uncle Jack and the Dudleys and the kids are playing soccer in the hallway. So who does that leave right now, and we were all discussing this, and there's a very clear fact right now, aside from the last part. The rest of it is out of reach, and we all know this now, but my family is from the Berkshires, and this house belongs to me."

"And Craine is in the doors still, so consensus?" Eleanor said and we nodded. "We're all innocent, and so are the kids, this is a test as the bastard is still in the doors right now." the guys and I all said together and she nodded. "At the moment everyone of us adults were always together and as were the kids, not us, not them. So if not us and not them, then who else could have done it exactly?" Luke asked and I nodded as Mary said it.

"Well whoever did that, I think I found our perp." she said and I turned to find another one, with red hair. "Here we go again, well this time we know none of us did it this time." Theo and I said together and went to check. "Welcome back Eleanor', well someone pushed the limit the last one said welcome home, but the 10 of us were all in 'our' bedroom talking, before we find this." Eleanor told me and Luke and I nodded in agreement.

"Well the 15 of us and the Dudleys and the Chief were in your room this entire time, before we saw you guys dressed like this. But we got 25 people in this house till the Dudleys and Jack head home for the night." Malcolm said and I nodded in agreement to that. "No kidding, and the kids were in the hall all this time, as they were playing soccer up here, so though alone, for a few minutes." I said and the trio nodded in agreement to that as we exchanged looks.

"It's we were in hearing range of the entire conversation, so that's out as Sarah and Andy were with us at the time as well. So that leaves one thing and one thing only, our wiseacres in the next age group up are testing us right now, or the next one down right now. Hey guys, did you bring the series for real when you loaded up?" Luke asked and the triplets nodded. "Well whoever it is, they better can it already, we're 12." Jason said and Derek and Jamie nodded.

"Yeah we're 12 and every character, in every story is 12, but for this trip we brought six each, but I'm the one with Slappy's trilogy, being the only girl between the three of us and the narrator. It was always a girl in those books, Uncle Luke." Jamie said and we nodded as I said it firmly to that remark. "Well that was a test, and to confirm that now, is this." I said as I moved up to the painting, as I scanned for a red flag at that before I saw it as I saw the cloth.

As it blended into the canvas, and Theo nodded as we exchanged looks at this as she said it for me. "Yeah it was a test alright, so we better do this in reverse." she said and we both turned to the fireplace at that and the four of us walked over there as we went to check then. "These things are back in place, none of us were alone, and this a repeater, so..., uh huh, Luke." I said and he moved to me at that as we shoved the chains back and looked up and nodded.

"Anything?" Eleanor asked and I shook my head. "Same as before, so with that." I said and she nodded as Theo said it. "Our ghost went up the chimney." she said and I nodded with a bemused smile to that remark. As he tapped the door and we grabbed the handle and yanked it up at that. "Jesus Christ, these are not ashes and charcoal at all, she was right all along right now." he told me and then looked behind us, as the girls moved to us at that.

"Damn it, the guess she gave us was correct, but..., whoa?!" he snapped as I looked back down in time to see a skeleton jump at us at that. "Easy don't let go!" Tony said quickly, as he got in there and grabbed the hatch as we both got it together and grabbed it. "Thanks you." I said and he nodded as I looked at her gently as I said it to her then. "Set the timer honey." I said and she checked her watch as she nodded and looked at us at that.

"Counts on 1 minute and counting Dave." she said and I nodded, as I dug through it and found a human skeleton and gave nod as he looked up. "Well we got evidence of there being a bunch of human skeletons in here, but if this was a adult one that just jumped at us here. So that's got to be Caroline then, yeah alright..." I said and looked around the pit and gave a nod. "Yeah alright, better drop it, back up girls." he said as I stood up and he and I gripped it.

He gently pulled back as I nodded as he backed up as I slid my leg out from under it and the three of us got ready and then let go as I jumped back as it landed with a loud clang as the trio jumped in shock at that. "Five, four, three, two, One..., now, move it!" she said and we all jumped out of the way as we heard a loud growl as the flue went flying between us and Jamie and Mary backed into Malcolm and Todd at that and I nodded as we exchanged looks to this.

"Well that just makes it even more clear, we have this happen again and no one is getting into a massive debate over it at the moment." I said as I dodged the swing left and moved to her as she gave me a hug and I tightened my arms around her. "No kidding, but once was enough right now, we know we got the truth, but he knows that with us in the house and her and me alive, it's going about to get worse." Luke told me and I nodded in agreement to that gently.
