Dib came down the stairs.
He looked around and saw his Trench-coat hanging on the wall.
"There it is!" Dib said walking over to it. "Weird, It's clean, but it didn't get taken up to me!.."
He reached for it, and it squirmed away.
"OMYGOD!" Dib yelled, snatching his hand away.
"Don't scream like that!" it said.
Dib's mouth was curled back into look of shear terror. He had never had such a fright.
"Calm down dude, What's wrong?" Said the Trench-coat, hopping down from the hook it had been resting on.
It bowed.
"The names Richard, Call me Rikky." it said.
Dib was speechless for a moment, and then he said:
"A-are you a g-ghost?" he asked.
"What are you talkin' about? I'm a coat. By the way, i need some pants, i mean, what would it look like to the gals if some coat floated past them? No appeal." he said.
"Um... Ok..." Dib said. It was his trench-coat after all, and it was probably good! He'd just wait until it got dangerous and then get the flame thrower... "Ok, I'll get you some pants then, you stay here."
Dib went up to his room and got some pants for the fantom-like trench coat. When he came downstairs, he found it floating there, waiting for him.
"Um...how are you going to put these on?" Dib asked.
"Like this." He answered.
The pants floated out of Dib's hands, and then under the trench coat.
Dib's mouth fell open as he saw the Fantom coat shake out it's new legs and walk like any normal person.
"Got a hat?" it asked.
