Chapter 8: The Party
(Ashley's POV)
"My parents are going on their honeymoon in a week!" I said to Sasha and Raquel over the phone. "IKR!" Sasha said "A high school reunion right?" asked Raquel. I could hear her playing DOOMED from the background. "Hey you know, this guy I'm in a battle with is a teacher at your parents old high school, Ash." That's when a thought stuck me. "TTYL guys." I said I hung up, then immeditately called Gramma and Grampa's house. "Hello?" Gramma answered the phone. "Gramma you remember that story Dad told us about how Technus was in his online game, meanwhile you grounded him from technology because of his poor grades?" "Ugh! Why are you reminding me of this?" "Well I think you better speak to my friend Raquel to find out." And so they did.
"UNBELIEVEABLE!" dad yelled when he heard the news that his high school English teacher made his parents ground him from technology while the ghost of technology was inside the game DOOMED, just so he could advance further in the game, ending up stealing victory from him and mom. "TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE! I should have known that picture of his 'sister' was just him in a dress! Heck, I probably did and didn't realize it." "Calm down, danny," gramma said "We'll confront him about it at the reunion. We're pretty upset too, for what it's worth."
While dad was planning his revenge (?), I got back on the phone with Sasha and Raquel. "So what do you think of throwing the coolest party ever that day?" "I'm in!" said Sasha "Me too," said Raquel.

"And you said I was the bad hunter." Skulker Gloated to his rockstar girlfriend. Ember. "Hah! You can say that again!" said their son, Damian. "Quiet!" his mother yelled. "If you think you're such a good hunter why don't YOU go try and catch the ghost girl?" "Ha! Sounds like a plan!" her boyfriend yelled back. "I've got a better idea…" said Damian, why don't you both go after her? You know as a team?" his parents put on mischievous smiles. "I like the way our son thinks…" the ghostly bounty hunter said.

The day of the reunion finally came. My Aunt Jazz and Uncle Dash dropped Bridget and Bethany off at our house. Mom and Dad kissed and hugged us. "Now be good." Dad said. "Bye mom, bye dad!" Logan and I said simultaneously. As soon as they left, I turned to Logan, Bridget and Bethany. "Listen dweebs!" I said "I'm having my first ever high school house party and you're not gonna tell anybody! KAPEESH?" "We Kapeesh!" said the twins. "What's in it for me?" Logan said. I grabbed him by the collar "Tell mom and dad about the party and I'll MUCK… YOU… UP!" Fear glazed over my little brothers eyes. "Okay, okay, I won't tell." He said. "But I have to be part of the party." I sighed "Alright, deal." We shook hands.

"I can't believe some cosmic empress would do this to me!" Plasmius whined. "Would you shut up?" I said I'm trying to do my home work. Suddenly a flash of light. Empress Ulala was back! The dogs and I leaned by my doorway to over hear her talk to my mom. "I have come to check on how things are going Ms. Wycotch." She said. "Great…" said my mom "just… great." "Hmm…" Ulala mused, "I sense you have feelings for this criminal." "Yes" my mom confessed "I do. I only wish he could feel the same for me." "I sense we have spies" Ulala mused she walked over to my door and pushed it open. I screamed. "Do not be afraid." She said in her goddess-like pose. "Plasmius, I have a proposistion for you." "What is it?" the dog said "If you can reform" she said "I will turn you back into a human, but I will not give you back your powers. Do we have a deal?" "Yeah sure whatever." He answered. "Good" and Ulala left. He turned to my mom "Margret!" he barked "It's Marla," she said. "Turn me back into a human." He said. "And give me back my powers."

"This is the coolest party ever!" Aria Ciccone said to me. "Thank you." I smiled shyly. The doorbell rang. I answered it – Justin and his friends Ryan and Kyle were here. "Guys, you made it!" I said cheerfully, hugging Justin. "Yep, and I even got my purpleback gorilla costume." Said Kyle. "Don't ask…" Justin whispered in my ear "He's just doing this because the purpleback gorilla at a zoo in Amity Park, Alabama, escaped." "Gosh I hope it doesn't invade my parents' reunion." I said. We laughed. "C'mon, Ash!" Sasha said "We need someone to be the opening act until the act Raq called comes!" so I got on stage and sang Bella Thorne and Zendaya's "Watch Me".
After my performance the doorbell rang. I opened it; There was a creepy blue haired boy at the door. "Hi" he said "Hi" I said I was instantly smitten, even though something told me he was trouble…
The boy got on stage. Suddenly, I felt cold. My ghost sense was tingling. He turned on his guitar. "All right audience" the boy said "Bring her to me" with a strum of his guitar, they turned on me. "I'm GOING GHOST!" I said. Suddenly Kyle came out in his purpleback gorilla suit and attacked the boy breaking his guitar in two. The crowd was in a state of confusion. "I'll be back." The boy said as he disappeared. "Thanks Kyle." I said to what I thought was kyle. "Thanks for what?" said a voice from behind. I turned around it was Kyle, who had the hood off of his gorilla suit. "Kyle?" I said "If that was… then who…?" then it hit me – it was the gorilla from the Amity Park zoo. I immediately got on the phone. "Hello, information?"
I requested the gorilla (who as it turns out, is named Sampson, even though she's a girl. Go figure) be released into the wild and the people at the zoo agreed. Suddenly a familiar voice said "Hey, Ashley Fenton right?" I gasped. "You- you're Rebecca Black!" "Yes" she said "yes I am" "Surprise!" said Raquel. "You hired Rebecca Black?" I said to my BFF. "Yep," she said "my mom's her hairstylist now c'mon let's party!" and we all danced to Ms. Black's song "My moment."
3 days later, my parents came home. "hey honey!" dad said "How was your party?" "W-wha-?" I asked "We heard it when you freed Sampson the gorilla." Said mom. "We heard Rebecca black and you sang whitney Houston's 'I wanna dance with somebody'" "I'm not in trouble am I?" I asked my parents. They scoffed, "Of course not!" dad said. "You work too hard. You need to have a little fun once in a while." I smiled. "Raquel said she'd give the elder jewel to you guys." "Tell her thanks but no thanks." Mom said then she and mom kissed. "Hey," Logan came downstairs "What did I miss?"
