Chapter 6- The Phantom of Sunshine Island is there inside your mind!

"Have you found them yet Double D?"

"No Johnny, let's check down in the lobby."

Kevin, Marilyn and Rolf had been missing for over an hour now and things were in chaos at the Hotel Conch Shell. (Man I love saying that name!) All they had as clues were the time of disappearance, names of the victims, and oh yeah the two missing baloneys outside the two hotel rooms.

They had checked outside the hotel several times and there wasn't any sign of them out there. They were all in the lobby for the fifth time this evening, and still they were no where to be found in the room. They hoped they were o.k.…

Somewhere outside the forest but not yet to the hotel…

Those people walked through the night. Marilyn, who was still being carried, had dozed off in Kevin's arms. To pass the time Rolf sang a song from his youth into a piece of wood like a microphone. Well maybe not sang more like screeched.

"OOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I WAS BORN A SHEAPARD'S SON AND A SHEAPARDS SON I'LL STAY!!!!!!!! I HERD THE SHEEP IN AT NIGHT AND OUT AGAIN AT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!"

Poor Kevin was forced to listen to his horrid singing the whole walk. He was pretty amazed at the fact Marilyn had managed to sleep through it all. Just then Marilyn's eyes fluttered open. At first she had no idea where or why she was there but then she remembered and relaxed.

"How's your foot?" Kevin asked. "I think I can walk now, thanks Kevin." She said softly. Kevin set her back on the ground. At first she stumbled but managed to keep pace with the other two and stayed in between them. Rolf continued to belt out notes at the top of his voice.

"YO HO YO HO THE SON OF A SHEAPARD'S LIFE FOR MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

Kevin groaned but Marilyn applauded. Rolf bowed. "Thank you thank you. Now I believe it is time for a number from Marilyn." He said handing the hunk of wood over to Marilyn. She grinned and took it and started singing loudly, but way better than Rolf.

"I was born the kid of a soldier, that's the life for me! Oh I wait on the sandy shore for my father out at sea! Yo ho yo ho, the kid of a soldier's life for me!"

Kevin stared at Marilyn. The only time he'd ever seen her so comfortable is when she was with Johnny 2x4. She and Rolf must've been pretty close, closer than they let on.

"Hey look up ahead!"

Kevin was brought out of his thoughts by the sight of the Hotel Conch Shell illuminated a ways down the road. "Finally! Were almost there!" Marilyn said very much relived. She and Rolf both broke out into song again.

"Oh we faced a ghostly archer as brave as the bravest men, now we've made it all the way to the hotel again!

Yo ho yo ho, the hotel's where we want to be."

"Will you guys give it a rest already?" Kevin said with an exasperated sigh.

When they walked into the lobby they saw all the cul-de-sac kids gathered looking worried stiff. "Um… did we miss something?" Kevin asked. They all looked up at them with surprised faces. "What happened to you?" Nazz asked.

They had a few small cuts on their faces and on their clothes from bushes and had leaves tangled in their hair and stuck to their clothes. Johnny ran up to Marilyn and pulled her into a spine crushing hug. "Marilyn what happened to you?! You look like you were attacked by the Maple Leaf men!" Johnny said.

Ed dropped to his knees with tears in his eyes and cried, "CURSE YOU MAPLE LEAF MEN!!!!!"

"Johnny….can't….breathe….." Marilyn chocked out. She was starting to turn blue. "Oh no, they injured her lungs! Plank call the hospital!" Johnny shouted. He threw his buddy over towards a pay phone but he of course missed and landed on the floor. Plank sighed and said "She can't breathe because you're squeezing the air out of her." He stated.

"Oh." Johnny said backing away from her, "Sorry." The color returned to Marilyn's face as she took deep breaths. Johnny picked up Plank. Once she was sure she could breathe she turned to him. "We weren't attacked by the 'Maple Leaf Men' Johnny, but we were attacked by someone, or something." Marilyn said.

At this everyone began bombarding them with questions

"Who attacked you?"

"Are you hurt?"

"What did the Maple Men look like?"

"Can you get me Captain Jack Sparrow's autograph?!"

Kevin tried to answer the questions as best as he could. "We don't know, we're not hurt, hardly a clue what you're talking about and…. Who are you?" The girl who had asked the last question had reddish brown curly hair tied into pig tails at the side of her head and looked just like…Cella!!!

Cella-What? He's famous. He might know how to get it.

Potoperson-Will you get back over here!

Cella- (pouts and leaves)

"O.k.…." Everyone said in unison, "Do we go on now?"

Potoperson-Yeah don't mind Cella

"Alright" Kevin said, "O.k. like I was saying… man I forgot what I was talking about!"

Potoperson- Start with we don't know what attacked us.

"O.k. thanks" Kevin said.

Potoperson- No problem

"So like I was saying we don't know what attacked us." Kevin continued, "All we have to go off of is this." He took out the sheet of parchment from his pocket and held it out for everyone to see. He explained what had happened. "Blood red arrows? Who would shoot at two innocent bystanders who were minding their own business?" Double D. wondered as he examined the note.

"The Phantom of Sunshine Island" A raspy old voice came. Everyone flipped around to see a very old looking man dressed in purple robes with a hood to cover his face sitting in a bench against the wall. Everyone took an involuntary step away except for May and Ed. May started jumping up and down and saying, "ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!!! I know who you are!"

Everyone turned and stared at her. "You do?" they asked in astonishment. May bobbed her head excitedly. "Well duh! He was on that one episode of Scooby-Doo!" she said. "Oh I love that episode!" Ed said.

As they went into a… interesting discussion about witch doctors and tiki gods and a pup named Scooby dooby doooooo the strange old man slowly raised his head. His gray stormy eyes seemed to bore right into their minds. "Come closer children." The man said. They took a small step forward, but didn't come any closer after that.

The man cleared his throat but still spoke in the same raspy voice. "You children should not have come to this island." He said, "People disappear off this island, it is horrible. My girlfriend Josie fell victim to him as well."

"Don't know who in their right minds would date that geezer." Nazz muttered under her breath. "What was that Na- err… child?" he said. "Oh, uh I said who is this ghost." She said quickly. The man stood and walked slowly to the door and said, "I don't know but you kids should leave while you have the chance. Last bunch of kids that came 'round here weren't seen again. Some say the ghosts of those that perished got 'em." Then he was gone.

"That old man seemed to know your name Nazz." Double D. observed. "I've never seen that creepy geezer before in my life." Nazz stated

"W-w-what d-d-o you think the g-g-ghost is Sara?" Jimmy asked his face white as a sheet. "I don't know Jimmy." Sara said obviously scared out of her mind. "Oh why this is silly." Double D. reassured everyone. "There are no such things as…" Suddenly the lights went out. No one could see their own hands in front of their faces.

Marilyn whimpered and stuck close to Kevin. Nazz was so used to getting scared and grabbing Kevin's hand she instinctively grabbed the hand closest to her. Jimmy started bawling his eyes out. "Oh please Jimmy, it's only a power outage, nothing to fear" Double D. said.

Just then a loud moan resonated through the darkness. "What was that?" Lee and Marie asked at the same time. (Yes they've been there this whole time.) Suddenly a ghostly figure that looked like a soldier appeared in the center of the room. Everyone screamed as more figures appeared.

One looked like a girl holding a teddy bear, the other like a middle aged man with binoculars around his neck, a young woman in a floral print sun dress (They assumed that was Josie) and the one that scared them the most was a tall man dressed in a Barney the Dinosaur suit!

The ghostly figures stepped towards them. Just when they thought they were goners some random up-beat organ music came out of no where and the ghosts broke into a random song.

In sleep he strangled me

Nightmares he brang

The scary gohstie guy who is insane

And that sheet in your hand is just a sign

The Phantom of Sunshine Island is there inside your mind!

They cut off and the room was silent until Double D. started applauding. "Bravo! I am a huge fan of the Phantom of the Opera and I must say that was an excellent rendition! May I trouble you for an autograph?" he said holding out a note pad to the ghosts.

PotoPerson: See if you can get me one too!

Cella: Oh so it isn't o.k. for me to ask for an autograph but when you ask it's alright?

PotoPerson: If I can get you a signed Pirates of the Caribbean DVD will you be quiet?

Cella: Deal! (Snatches the DVD squeals then shuts up)

The soldier ghost quickly signed the notepad and then moaned at the top of his voice. "Heed this warning! The Phantom of Sunshine Island will haunt you forever if you don't leave this island now!"

"Riiiight, like we're gonna take that from some singin' Barney." Kevin said. "Hey man, don't mock the suit." Barney said in a surprisingly deep voice.

"Too bad I'm mockin' it."

"Jerk"

"I know you are but what am I?"

"A shovel chinned evil child."

"I think I might like this Barney." Eddy whispered to Double D. "Enough! We have given our warning, now be gone!" The soldier shouted. One by one the ghosts retreated into the darkness. The Barney ghost shot one last glare at Kevin before he left. Once they were gone the lights flickered back on.

As soon as they were able to see Nazz saw she had grabbed who else but Eddy's hand. She let it go as if it were acid and looked away. Everyone looked had fear written all over all of their faces.

So the rumors were true, Sunshine Island was haunted.

PotoPerson: Yeah! I'm finally done!

Cella: You just couldn't resist putting in A Phantom of the Opera reference in there huh?

PotoPerson: Hello? PotoPerson Phantom Of The Opera Person.

Cella-mrrow

Potoperson: Anyway please please review! I will be forever in your debt!
