They had more fun and Jenny rolled out her sleeping bag and pillow to get ready for bed with them.
"This is so exciting." Oliver said.
Jenny changed into her pink nightgown and wore her hair down, making her red hair touch her shoulders.
"You look like Ariel with that hair and that nightgown." Akito said after he got his pajamas on.
"You think so?" Jenny asked, though she had a smile. "I don't think I'm as pretty as Ariel."
"Are you kidding? Of course you are, you should really look yourself in a mirror." Estelle smiled.
Jenny blushed to them. "Oh, come along now..."
"No, really, you do look like Ariel." Estelle said before leading her to a mirror.
Jenny knelt on her sleeping bag and took a look, smiling fondly. "Ariel's your aunt, right...?"
"Cousin actually," Vincent corrected. "Dad's cousin."
"That would make her your first cousin twice removed then." Jenny explained to them.
"Yep, exactly." Estelle said.
"So, how are you related?" Jenny looked to Eloise.
"My daddy's name is Urchin." Eloise explained.
"Oh, I see..." Jenny smiled then. "Um... Do you get to see him?"
"Not that often, even less than I get to see my mother because he can't stay on land too long, but I usually get to see him in the summer time these days." Eloise smiled.
"Yep, it's true." Estelle nodded.
"Well, I'm glad Urchin found someone." Jenny smiled.
Eloise giggled.
"Now, who wants a scary story?" Nanny grinned to the kids as she carried a book in her hands.
The kids went to their sleeping positions.
"Tonight's story may shock you, horrify you, and maybe even terrify you..." Nanny told them in an ominous tone of voice.
Oliver then out of nowhere coughed out a hair ball.
"Ewwww!" the kids winced.
"Okay, maybe not in that way..." Nanny shuddered herself.
Oliver chuckled sheepishly. "Sorry..." he said with a nervous smile.
"Anyways, what's the story, Nanny?" Akito asked.
"It's the story of Diamond Jim Johnson," Nanny narrated. "And he was a resident in our very own New York City. Everybody loved him and he loved everyone who loved him. He loved his food, and he very much loved his entertainment. But most of all, he loved a holiday we've all come to know and love: Halloween. This was no ordinary Halloween though, this was the grand opening of our very own Plaza Hotel. All celebrated, especially since Diamond Jim was expected to be there, but that day would be a fatal end to Diamond Jim himself."
"What do you mean?" Estelle asked.
"He did not see an incoming horse and tried to swerve out of the way," Nanny continued. "He crashed and then, from now on, every Halloween night, Diamond Jim Johnson returns to the Plaza Hotel, and they say, every day closer to Halloween, you can still hear his hunger for the celebration he never made it to."
"Oh, dear." Estelle said.
Jenny was really scared, she clung to Vincent for protection, but she then smiled. "Tell us another story, Nanny!" she pleaded.
"Now, kids, I think we've had quite enough stories for one night," Nanny smiled as she removed her new hat. "Remember, we have a big, big, big weekend ahead of us!"
"Yes, Nanny, we know." Akito smiled.
"Your costumes should be here by tomorrow since they didn't come tonight." Nanny said as she tucked the Fudo cousins into their own beds while Jenny was getting comfortable enough to fall asleep with them.
'This is going to be a great Halloween, I just know it.' Oliver thought to himself.
"Nanny, you don't think the ghost will hurt me or the others, do you?" Eloise asked as she bundled into her bed.
"Oh, Eloise, that was just a legend..." Nanny soothed. "You don't worry about anything... Just get some sleep... Good night, dear."
"Good night, Nanny..." Eloise whispered.
Nanny smiled and went to get herself to bed after the kids fell asleep. Everyone was asleep and where it seemed like a peaceful night.
Eloise just couldn't sleep though, the story really got to her. Akito seemed to have the same feeling and he snuck out of the room with her.
"I hear a terrible noise coming from Nanny's room." Eloise whispered to her cousin.
"Same here and I'm having this weird feeling inside me." Akito whispered back.
Eloise grabbed her flashlight and flashed the lightaround the room and saw Nanny's door was cracked open. She then walked in and flashed the light on Nanny as she snored.
Nanny woke up from the light and looked worried and overwhelmed.
"Nanny, we heard a weird noise in your room, but it was just you snoring," Eloise smiled. "You can go back to sleep now."
"Yeah, sorry for disturbing you from your sleep." Akito whispered.
Nanny looked to them and flopped her head back against her pillow, very exhausted.
Eloise and Akito went back to sleep, but there was a strange moan noise. Weenie even heard an absurd sound himself. This even woke up Jenny, Estelle, and Vincent. It also woke up Larvitar and Vulpix. The kids gathered flashlights and decided to explore. Oliver woke up alone and saw the others heading for the door, so he went with them, ending up in the hallway.
"What... What do you think that noise was?" Vincent asked.
"It had to be a ghost, right?" Estelle wondered.
"You said there was no such thing!" Jenny cried.
Eloise took the lead and heard wicked laughing then and stopped, looking rather irritated. "Okay, that's enough!" she snapped.
They kept walking closer and closer, until they saw a bat right in front of them!
"A bat?" Akito said out of confusion.
The girls were scared and let out screams. There were two more bats, followed by sneaky laughter. A few guests came out of their rooms, hearing the noise.
"Gotcha!" Bobby laughed as he stood with his brother, both dressed in vampire capes.
"Bobby?! Bruce?!" Estelle asked out of anger towards the brothers.
"Sorry, guys, we didn't mean to scare you." Bruce said apologetically.
"Oh, yes, we did, and we did!" Bobby laughed out loud.
"Bobby!"
"Brucey!"
Lavitar, Vulpix, Weenie, and Oliver glared to the twin boys, but then paused and heard something from the other side and went that way.
"Weenie!" Eloise cried after her pet.
Vincent, Eloise, Jenny, and Akito then went after their pets.
"You scared Weenie too, I hope you're happy!" Estelle yelled at the boys and threw one of their bats at them while following the others.
"Geez, what's wrong with them? It was just a joke." Bruce smiled evilly.
The kids kept chasing the animals and Pokemon as they wandered down the hallway.
"What is it?" Eloise asked as she held her pug dog.
"What's wrong, guys?" Jenny added as she picked up Oliver gently.
The windows were then rattling and shaking like in a horror movie.
"Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't windows only shake and rattle like that when something is trying to get in?" Estelle asked, scared.
"I-It's probably just the wind..." Jenny guessed.
There was then a strong wind and a transparent, ghostly figure popped his head out, revealing himself to them. He then tipped his hat and walked through a wall, waving to them. The kids then screamed that they actually saw a ghost and ran down the hallways to tell Nanny.
"Oh, my gosh! A real ghost! An actual, real ghost!" Estelle screamed.
"We gotta tell Nanny!" Eloise added.
"T-T-There's no such things as ghosts, goblins, or monsters..." Jenny shivered. "Aren't there?"
"I-I-I-I truly don't know!" Estelle answered.
"What's going on out here?" Maxine yawned as she came out with a flashlight, but then yelled out as the kids trampled her on the way. "Owch..."
Eloise stopped and saw her. "Max, you have to get out of here, we're being haunted!"
"I work in the lobby, I'm haunted every day of my life." Maxine chuckled.
"No, she actually means we're being haunted! By a ghost!" Vincent told her.
"Ghost?" Maxine asked. "There's no such thing as ghosts."
"Wanna bet?" Akito bit his lip in slight fear.
"We'll show you where we saw the ghost." Estelle said.
Maxine sighed with a yawn and followed them.
The others went to the window, but it was only completely open and nothing weird was happening right now.
"The ghost came out there and went in through that wall." Eloise explained.
"I think you kids have been listening to too many scary stories..." Maxine said to them. "I remember when I was your age, we always told scary stories at campfires."
"But it looked so real." Estelle said.
Maxine hugged them. "You all must have been dreaming, you should go back to your rooms and get some sleep."
The kids frowned to her, but they did as she said.
Maxine chuckled a little. "Kids and their ghost stories..." she sighed a bit.
"M-Maybe it was just a dream." Vincent said.
