It was about 9.00 in the night and we were all watching a scary movie, in order it was me, Lanny, Brady and Boomer, Brady was scared to death "Man, royal scary movie night is off the hook, our kingdoms lovin ghost castle massacre 2" Boom said happily "what's wrong king Brady? Can't handle scary movies?" Lanny asked him "No dude I was just smelling my new palm callogne, it's uh called peek a boo, for men" Brady said after pulling his hands away from his face
"Are you still freaking out about ghosts? Don't make me tell you again, they don't exist" Boom said annoyed "Maybe there's no ghosts where you're from, but this whole island is haunted" Lanny told Brady, I rolled my eyes "Yeah but their not in the castle right?" Brady asked nervously "Oh, especially the castle, the thing is built on a cemetery" Lanny replied, I snickered and still watched the movie "Shh the teenage kings about to get it, get him ghosty!"
Boom shouted at the screen "they always go for the kings first, but don't worry they only come out at night" Lanny said, I grabbed some popcorn from his bowl and ate it "But it's night every night" Brady said, I noticed Lanny grab his fake skeleton arm, after a few seconds Brady screamed and ran straight into the movie screen, he took it with him and came back through "Everybody save yourselves, go to the water the ghost can't swim" he shouted running into the popcorn table, I laughed "Okay and that concludes movie night, I hope you all like our special 3D ending" Boom said nervously, I stopped laughing but couldn't stop giggling every now and then.
The next day I went downstairs to see Brady with some caution tape "Careful this is haunted ground" he said warning me, Boom and Mason, I sat down on the couch "King Brady what's with all the powder?" Mason asked "Is you're dandruff back?" Boom asked him "It's not dandruff, it's ghost tracking powder, made from dandruff" Brady said, I gagged "Last night I set up these traps to prove to Boomer that the castle was haunted, may I present to you, proof that there are evil spirits, exibit A, big old ghost footprints"
Brady said, I looked and saw some footprints "Hmm those are larger than my momma's feet and she was quarter sasquatch" Mason said "Exibit uh, a b c d e, B" Brady said walking over to a light "Brown ectoplasm, scientific term for, ghost goo" Brady said "That is weird "Mason said "Weirder than you having a sasquatch in you're family?" Boom asked him "According to Kinkow legend 100 years ago the castle was haunted, ectoplasm everywhere" Mason admitted "What did they do?" I asked curiously "what any normal person would do, tore the castle down brick by brick and threw it into the sea"
he replied "Wait is that what were gonna have to do?" Brady asked "Who's got that kinda time? We gonna blow the sucker up" Mason said "Wait hold up, no one's blowing up anything, big foot junior may believe in all this island superstition but I'm not because there's no such thing as ghosts" Boom said "Man you're just like those haters who told Columbus he could never make it to the moon" Brady said, I rolled my eyes again "Anticipating you're doubt, I video taped the whole thing to rub it in you're face" Brady said taking a camera down off the high cabinet "Will you please watch it with me?"
Brady asked Mason "Wait look if there really is evil on this tape we shouldn't just keep it to ourselves" Boom said "He's right, the staff should know why were going to turn this place into a crater" Mason said "Alright well tell the people there's a new movie playing tonight, the ghost that made Boomer look like a fool, and proved that I was right, making me the smarter brother, or something shorter, I'm a ghost hunter not a movie title writer" Brady said and Mason took the camera.
Later on we were all in the plaza waiting for Brady's 'ghost Movie' to start "Grab you're coconuts hold onto you heads cuz I'm about to blow you're minds" he said, he switched on the screen and we watched the video, it turned out it was just Boomer messing around with Brady, Mason switched off the video and everyone left "How could you do that?" Brady asked Boom "Oh you mean the ghost dance? Oh it's just all in the hips" Boom said "Don't try to dance you're way into my heart, you made a foot outta me in front of everybody, and now you're gonna pay" Brady replied before walking off , I noticed Lanny slip up next to him
"It was just a joke" Boom said to me, I nodded "Yeah but yah know Brady he's sensitive about this stuff" I said shrugging, he held out his fist "was funny though huh?" he asked, I smiled "Maybe a little" I mumbled fist bumping him, he went into the castle and I noticed Brady and Lanny going off somewhere, I decided to follow them and find out what they were up too.
I followed them into the woods on the good side of the island and watched them enter a store, I walked in after them and they turned to me shocked "No questions I'm staying" I said, they nodded "Really Lanny? A country western store on an island, I mean who would, ooh cool chaps" Brady said browsing, I noticed the store was full of old western stuff, what the hell were they doing here? "Welcome to the Kinkow cowboy boutique" A woman said coming in with more clothes "Hi Lanny, oh it's king Brady" she exclaimed bowing "Dial it down June"
Lanny said, she nodded "And who is this beautiful young lady?" she asked motioning to me "This is Shelby, she's on her way to becoming royalty" Lanny replied winking at me, I rolled my eyes "Well you must be a tough girl to be able to deal with this one" she said motioning to Lanny, I giggled "Anyway, the king's here for the secret merchandise" Lanny told her "Oh silly nilly why didn't you say so? I keep the good stuff in back" she said, she opened up something I believed to be a wall decoration and went in "Oh it look's really dark in there"
Brady said scared "Oh come on" Lanny said pushing him in, I followed to find we were in another room full of witchcraft and stuff "Now in addition to country western wear I also dable in the dark arts" June explained, she stood behind her counter after closing the door "Oh Lanny that reminds me, you're order for poison scorpions…"she started but Lanny cut her off "Uh it's a surprise" he said, she nodded "My cousin here needs a ghost, anything fresh?" he asked her "you sell real ghosts?" I asked "Well I certainly don't give em away"
she said, Brady gave me a look and I nodded, she pulled out a tray "I keep a full line of canned ghosts" she explained "We have you're screaming ghost, that's always a classic, and a cheerleader ghost, she's got spirit" she said, she lifted one of them and gasped "Oh how did he end up in here? It's the ghost of a ruthless Viking that tried to destroy the king of Kinkow" she said "We'll take the Viking" Lanny said "what?" Brady and I asked in sync "And throw in the cheerleader, I spend a lot of money here" Lanny told us "Okay June listen no Viking, if this is all legit, I want the wimpiest ghost you have, like if Lanny were a ghost"
Brady said, I chuckled "Well I do have a mime that was run over by a bus" she offered, she opened the can "Come on out Maurice and say hi to the king" she said, the little ghosts appeared on the table "Okay that's real, do you have anything wimpier?" Brady asked obviously scared "He's 16 inches tall and wearing a buree, it doesn't get any wimpier than that" she said, the ghost took my finger and kissed it "We'll take it can you just put it back in the can please" Brady asked, the ghost bowed to me before going back into the can "You know for a mime ghost he really knows how to charm the girls" I said, Brady left because he felt sick and I stayed with Lanny and June
"Oh June could you scan my creepy club card?" Lanny asked her "Oh surely "she said turning around, I saw Lanny switch the cans but I didn't know which one "Oh you're just one purchase away from getting a zombie foot keychain" she said "Thanks come on Angel" Lanny said grabbing the can and leading me out.
