Vanellope's POV
"Help!" I could hear Ralph screaming for help but when I got to the source I saw him with his spine on the floor next to him. Big Blue laughed menacingly.
"No. NO!"
"NO!" I sat up hurriedly with my hand outstretched. I then realised it was only a nightmare. 'Jeez. These have got to stop but with everything that's happened to me I can't really blame them for coming.' I got out of bed and gazed forlornly at the rift. I asked the Ghostbusters numerous times if we could try and find Ralph's body but they said no because it was too dangerous. I had to take their word for it. I went up the metal staircase and struck up a conversation with Janine.
"Janine, can you take me to get a makeover?"
"Really?" I mustn't strike her as a girl who likes makeovers. I nodded and she took me out to her car.
"Why do you want a makeover?" She asked me. She must be concerned for me.
"Just to take my mind of things." We drove until we got to the mall. This is the second time, I think, that I've been in a mall. I'm still surprised at how many things they could fit into one building. We walked around until we found a beauty parlour.
The saleswoman took one look at me and shouted into the store "This girl needs a makeover stat!" They bustled me into a chair that looked like a hairdresser's chair. I closed my eyes and hoped that I wouldn't look too girly.
"There all done." It seemed like an hour but it only took about ten minutes. I opened my eyes and looked at myself. They added a touch of highlight on my cheeks and made my hair look all pretty. They tried to take the candy out of my hair but they stuck there, so they did the best they can and worked their way around all the candy. I looked beautiful.
"Wow. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Janine paid for the cost and we walked out.
"Why don't we pick out some clothes for you?"
"Okay" We walked around the mall for quite a bit until we settled onto a store that sold clothes for both boys and girls.
"We need something picked out for her." Janine told the clerk. She measured me up and picked out a few outfits for me. I tried one of them on and came out to get assessed.
"Hmm." Was all she said. I went back in and tried on the next one.
"I think this one's good." I had on a blue hoody and green denim jeans. Underneath the hoody I wore a black top that had the Ghostbusters symbol on it.
"I agree." She paid for that as well and we headed back to the firehouse.
"Wow. You look good." Ray said as he saw me walk in with Janine.
"Janine, while you were away we got a call about a ghost but this one's a bit different. Here I wrote it down for you." We walked over to the desk and Janine picked up the note. I read it over her shoulder.
We have a ghost here and it's white as a sheet. It's not big or anything but it's a ghost alright. It seems friendly but the other three ghosts are mean.
I nodded and told them I would handle it myself. They agreed and drove me over to where the address was. I got out. It was in the middle of nowhere and I craned my neck to see a big spooky house. They dropped me off and left me to it. 'Here we go.' I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
The first cliffie in this story and maybe not the last in the series … I bet you all know where the next story's taking place.
