Down in the parlor, Fangula told the monsters everything.

"AMNESIA?!" the monsters shouted.

Fangula nodded. "That's right, thanks to Frankenbeans, Ashley doesn't know who she is or who I am."

"This is all your fault!" Mums scolded. Wolfie growled and snarled at Frankenbeans, who sobbed and cried.

"We've gotta tell Flabber! He'll know what to do!" Fangula said.

"We can't do that! If Flabber finds out, he'll chew us out big time!" Mums replied.

Fangula thought and thought until he got an idea. "I know! We'll just keep this a secret from Flabber while we help Ashley jog her memory until it finally hits her!"

"But what about when Ashley sees us?" Mums asked. "She'll turn tail and run away in fear!"

Fangula rubbed his chin. "Hmm... but she wasn't afraid of me."

"No duh." Little Ghoul said from behind, making the vampire jump. "Because you're the most human-looking among us! Of course she wasn't scared of you!

"Good point." Frankenbeans commented.

"But you guys stay out of sight until Ashley's memory is back. So in the meantime, I'll have to make up a history so I don't scare her..." Fangula thought until he snapped his fingers. "I know!"


"You're an aristocrat?!" Ashley said surprised, to which Fangula nodded. "It's an honor to meet you, Sir."

"Please, don't call me sir. Call me Fang."

"Okay, but wait, if you're an aristocrat, then what are you doing in this broken down house? Wait a minute, why am I in this broken down house?!"

"I was just getting to that. You are Ashley, my girlfriend."

Ashley beamed. "Really?! Cool! I'm glad I made good!" She blushed a little. "No wonder I find you so handsome..."

If the vampire had blood circulation, he would blush too. "Y-Yes, thank you." he chuckled. Hopefully at this rate, Ashley will have her memory back in no time.

Fangula took Ashley by the hand and decided to show her around the house. When they arrived to the foyer, Ashley's ears picked up on some catchy music. She swayed to the beat.

"Say, where's that music coming from, Fang?" she asked.

Fangula knew it was Flabber making that music, so he thought of a good lie. "That's Flabber, our entertainer!"

Before Fangula knew it, Ashley headed straight into the parlor and saw Flabber playing his pipe organ.

The phasm stopped playing and saw Ashley, intently staring at him.

"Uh, you alright, Ashley?" he asked.

"Oh, don't mind me. Please go on." Ashley sweetly replied.

With a thumbs up and a smile, Flabber continued playing his music while Ashley watched, letting the music carry her away. Fangula stepped in and was surprised to see his girlfriend not even fazed by Flabber's appearance.

"Everything okay?" Fangula asked Ashley.

"Oh, everything's great!" she said. "I love his makeup! He's a musician and a clown!" she said clapping her hands excited.

Fangula sighed in silent relief. But seeing Flabber wasn't enough to restore her memory.

Flabber stopped playing and got up. "If anyone needs me, I'm going to snooze a few winks..." he yawned. He spun around and changed into his nightwear and vanished upstairs.

Ashley's jaw dropped, her eyes wide open.

Fangula fussed for an explanation. Uh, Ashley! I-I can explain!"

But Ashley smiled wide. "Wow! And he's a magician too! He's very versatile!"

She glided merrily into another room while Fangula stared, giving her a look. 'Frankie must've knocked out some of her brains too...' he thought.

It was a challenge, but Fangula managed to keep the amnesiac Ashley out of trouble right under Flabber's big nose for the whole day.

He took Ashley to her bedroom. "Now Ashley, you've had a long day. You just get some rest and hopefully, you'll feel better." He kissed her forehead goodnight.

Ashley giggled as she snuggled under the covers. "Goodnight, Fang."

He turned out the light and quietly closed the door.

Despite having no memory, Ashley was so happy right now. All she knew was that her name was Ashley, they have a clown/musician/magician entertainer, and she has the most charming boyfriend. But she was a little nervous about living in a creepy old house. Ashley closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep until,

ARRROOOOOO!

Ashley squealed and hid under the covers. "W-What was that?!" she asked herself.

ARRROOOOOOOOOO!

There it was again, only longer and more spooky. Ashley was so scared she took her pillows and blanket and piled them all on top of her in a way to protect herself.

Ashley shivered under the covers. 'What if this place is... haunted?!' she thought in fear.

Then Ashley giggled when she felt a tingling feeling on her bare feet sticking out from the covers. She peeked her head out and to her astonishment, saw a broomstick rubbing her feet with it's straw bristles.

This began to make Ashley giggle as the broom kept brushing her feet. "Heeheeheehee! Hey! That tickles!" Ashley squeaked. She laughed so hard, she rolled out of bed.

She shook herself and saw the broomstick jumping around rather excited. At first she was a little nervous, but now she was amazed.

"A magic broom..." she breathed in awe. She took the broom by the handle, as soon as she did,

ARRROOOOOOOOOO!

Ashley jumped a foot in the air when she heard the howling again. Her curiosity took over as she left her room, following the sound to see what exactly was making that noise.

When she heard it again coming from behind a slightly open door, Ashley clutched the magic broomstick and slowly opened the door.

Ashley gasped and the people, or rather monsters, gasped as well. Ashley saw a werewolf, a mummy, and a Frankenstein looking straight at her.

3, 2, 1...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! MONSTERS!" Ashley screamed at the top of her lungs, the startle of the scream caused Broomy to jump between Ashley's legs and take off flying around the room.

The monsters couldn't do anything but watch helpless as Ashley soared and screamed all over the place until Broomy flew right out an open window.

After a passing second, Mums blinked. "ASHLEY! Come on, we've gotta get Fangula and find Ashley!"


Meanwhile, Ashley flew through the night right above Charterville, scared completely out of her mind. Her mind felt like it was going to explode. But she had to do something, like controlling this broom!

Ashley took the handle and yanked it all the way back, causing the broom to stop and Ashley to be flung off of it and hit her head directly on the pavement below.
