Meanwhile back At Wilbie's
Wilbie was at home getting ready for the evening, and by that he was just simply deciding what movies they should check out, he did so as he began sorting through His VHS's,,
" how about Halloween night ? or no no better yet !, A night terror on helm street, ? " he said holding up two VHS's in front of his pet tarantula Barbra , who just stared at him and tilted her head a little,
" yeah I thought so Too." he said placing them down.." ooh, I got it, how about, The Exorcism ? " he said holding up another VHS, to his spider, she stared at the cover...then shook her head, wilbie frowned at this,
" Well then what would you choose, then, " he said raising an eyebrow,
Barbra then pointed a leg down at a movie at the pile, wilibe looked down to examine the cover,
" Attack of the mutant spider huh ? yeah you'd like that wouldn't you, " he said crossing his arms. " sorry but i watched it once and well...the effects were downright laughable, " he stated, just then he hear his mother call to him from the kitchen...
" ah this will have to wait, " he said getting up, ,
He mad his way over to the kitchen were he saw his mother looking through the cupboards,
" hey sweetie, what do you think I should make for dinner ? " she said as she busily continued to rummage through the shelves,
" oh, uh well nothing special, though I'm not really sure what my friend will eat, sense there taste's can differ, trust me,, ? " wilbie stated..
Helen then stopped what she was doing and looked over at him, " friend, what ever do you mean ? " she said looking a little confused, but more so curious
" I thought I told you already, one of the ghoul girls is coming over for a movie night, " he informed her
" Oh is that s ? and just one you say ? who ever will that be ? " she says now very interested.
" well uh, it's Winnie, you know, the werewolf, we planned it a few days ago and well tonight is the night, " he stated, " now as for din-ACK ! " wilbie was then cut off as his mother pulled him into a hug,
" Oh ! I can't believe it, my little boy is having his first movie night with a friend, " she says sounding rather emotional , but very happy about it.
" Jeeze mom it's nothing really." he said pushing himself out of her embrace.
" Nothing !? are you kidding me, I been hoping for a day like this for a while, I can finally prepare a bunch of things for you and a friend, ensuring you have the best time, " she said looking thoughtful, " just think of all the nice little snacks I can make for you after dinner to go along with your movie " she said with glee. " oh i just wished you had told me sooner. "
" well again I thought I already did , but anyway there is no need to make a big deal over it, besides just some popcorn for the movie will do. "
" Oh I'll do one even better, " she said looking as though she was plotting something big..."I'll whip up a batch of treats you'll never forget, like give them little designs and such, making this them the most awesome treats for your movie night " she said rubbing her hands together..
wilbie just backed out of the room," Uh, well then if you really want, I'm just going to getting things ready, I been trying to pick a movie for us to watch, " he staid entering into the living room.
" Oh I just can't wait for her to arrive, oh ! I know what to make for dinner then, I'll make your favorite ! "she exclaimed, " I'll make sure this is a fun night ! "
wilbie looked back over towards her, " yeah, I'm sure you will, " he said as he sneakily kicked their photo album and baby picture book under the couch..as he then walked away with a satisfied grin.
Back at Grimwood.
the ghouls girls all stood in sibella's room. getting ready to prepare her for the night ahead,. she sat on her bed as sibella went over what they needed to do,
" alright winnie, in order to start educating you on,...the skills on proper mannerism. " she said as winnie was seen scratching her arm pit," she sighed..we need to get your...um..personal hygiene worked on, "
" and how do you suppose I do that " she said cocking her head..
" well...the first thing is..you can't go to his place smelling like that," she pointed out waving a hand in front of her face..
winnie already having a feeling were this was to protest. " hey..I know what your getting at, and I'm afraid there is no way that is happening, " she said crossing her arms,
" but winnie. you really must consider..and besides..it's been weeks..that's longer then what we let you go on without a single bath.." sibella notified her,
" Yeah, and besides. miss Grimwood did tell us to remind you to take one this week, " Elsa added..
winnie growled to herself " come on, I want to make a good impression but not if it means...tormenting myself, " she said crossing her arms and looking turning her nose away..
" come on winnie, please do it ? tanis then said, looking at her with pleading eyes.
" huh..n-no..I will not " she said still folding her arms.
" pretty please. just this once go along with it, " tanis said continuing to show her puppy dog eyes,
winnie tried to looked none convinced,..but found herself having a hard time ignoring tani's pleading face...
" gah ! fine..I'll do it, just stop looking at me like that, " winnie surrendered..
"oh great, I'll go get the water running, " phantasma shouted.
" I'll go pick out what you can wear afterwards " sibella said.
" And I'll just sit here in self pity, " Winnie said shaking her head...
"One miserable bath later"
"see now that wasn't so bad was it, ? as a drenched but clean winnie stood there in the bathing room. she had a towel draped around body and head...however she did not look amused at all
" OH no...it was simply delightful " she said sarcastically annoyed,
" well look at the bright side, at least that part is over, " Elsa said pating her on the back,
" alright lets get you dried up, but sense were on limeted time here, we'll have to do it quickly " sibella said looking over to tanis who was seen escorting matches over,
winnie tilted her head in confusion..
" alright matches you know what to do ? " tanis said sweetly,
matches nodded as he rubbed his scaly paws together and giving winnie a sinister look,..she couls see the dragon begging to heat up..
winnie's eyes then widened.." wait don't do- " before she could finish though, matches had already heated himself up and let loose a gust of hot air onto the soaking werewolf..
Winnie's fur quickly tried and puffed up making her look like a fuzzy ball, she growled to herself, " I hate when that happens, " she said as matches was seen leaving the room snickering to himself
" don't worry winnie. now all we to choose something delightful for you to were, " Sibella informed her
" Great, I now wonder what else lies ahead for me tonight.."
back at wilbie's
Helen was in the kitchen busily seen making many horror themed snack for wilbie's Horror Night.
Alright now, let's see this will looks simply delightful, " Helen said as she was was seen putting in a batch of cupcakes, " once I decorate them with gumdrop eye balls and gooey green frosting, " she giggled, then looked went over to the Island table were she was looking an ingredient book, on how to make Jelly cups.
" oh If I use red I can make blood jelly cups with some of those gumdrop eye balls, " she said aloud to herself, " oh yes, they'll be wonderful.
" Oh i winder if we have any Bananas left " she said turning to the cupboards.
wilbie who was entering the living room still over looking some of his Horror movie collection could hear his mother yammering on to herself, he just smirk as he shook his head, then continued to look through his movies..
Alright then, this one shall look nice on you I say " sibell said holding up a pink fancy dress.." it was given to me by my great aunt when I was younger, it doesn't fit me well now, but sense your smaller, it would perfectly on you."
" why do you still have it then ? " winine questioned.
" hey it'd be shame to get rid of something as valuable as this, and besides. now there is some use for it again isn't there, " sibella said smirking,
" uugh...fine lets just get this over with "
The girls all giggled as they got ready to spiff her up a bit, the girls first got her into her new clothes , they gave her her new dress, one that had a few ruffles around the rim, a pink sash around the waist it and a pink bow on it's chest,
winnie looked down at the dress looking more ashamed then anything else..it didn't help when phantasma placed a small pink bow in her hair,
" There that should complete the look " she giggled " oh don't you just look cute. "
" I sure say so " Tanis said innocently.
" defiantly a nice look for you, " sibella complimented..
winnie grumbled and mutter something that the others could not understand, but they didn't seem to care as they were eager to move on to the next part of her training,
" alright winnie, now lets get the hang on your fine dining " sibella said,
" oh great, does this mean I get to eat ! " winnie said excitedly
" you bat it does, " sibella winked..
winnie looked excited for this, at least there had to be something she'll enjoy out of this. "
the ghouls then all went back downstairs to the dining hall, were winnie now sat awaiting for the girls to teach he proper table manners.
" alright winnie, your dinner shall be here in a moment. " sibella informed.
soon temptacles the butler octopus amrged from the kitchen holding a platter in his hand,he then set it down in front of winnie and took the lid of revealing a warm steak, which winnie eyes up Hungerily..her mouth dripping with drool.
Temptacles snickerd to himself at how winnie was dressed but kindly returned to the kitchen..
winnie paying no attention to that, stared down at the steak,..
" alright winnie now just eat this steak, " sibella said.
winnie looked at them as they all just stook back to observe her..winnie felt that this was too easy..but really she didn't care..she was getting a steak out of it. she then took the whole thing in her hand and licked her chops, she ws about to devour the whole thing when suddenly sibella interrupted her..
" *ahem* just what do you think you are doing ? " she said
" Um enjoying this delicious looing steak like you asked me to do. " she said tilting her head with a raised eyebrow
" And your going to do it like that ? "
" Hey why act so surprised you know how I eat,," winnie said more confused,
" yes, and well that simply won't do, if you are going to eat over at wilbie's you'll need to eat properly. " she said.
" oh yeah, and what is proper eating ? "
suddenly winnie felt someone tugging on her dress. she looked down to see tanis looking up at her.
" I can show you winnie what that is, my mummy and daddy thought me how to be polite at the dinner table "
" You, show me table manners ? uhh..well I guess so. " she said not seeing a good reason to argue. tanis then eagler jumped onto a chair Next to her and stood on it, she then proceeded to take hold of the fork and knife that had been placed on both sides of the plate.
" You see winnie, it's like this, you simply cut up your food into portions, " she said using the knife to draw imaginary lines on where to slice. " then you take your fork and pick up one of the pieces you cut up and eat it. "
Winnie looked down at the steak then back at the mummy. " Eh, but that , that would take forever..who enjoys eating like that ? "
" Well winnie its not about whether you enjoy it or not, it's about how you present yourself, if you dine like that, you'll be impressing anyone, especially wilbie " sibella said with a wink,
Winnie rolled her eyes a little at the last comment but the girls could swear they seen her blush a little, she then laughed to herself.." you girls are a riot, look this has nothing to do with that, it's just..I enjoy my meals too much to take small portions, specially when it's a mouth watering steak," she said looking at as those she was about to pounce it.
everyone just crossed there arms and gave her some cold glares...
winnie then sighed.." Fine..give me the silverware " she said holding out her paw...
One Miserable proper dinning exercise later
" I think we finally did..." sibella said sitting back on a chair with a breath of relief...
" I think you may be right " Elsa said with a satisfied nod,
" does that mean she is now ready ? " Tanis asked excitedly..
" Please. I sure hope so. I cant stand to spend any more time on this, " winnie said rubbing a paw on her head..
" well then winnie, if you think you are ready, then you can go for it, if you remember everything we managed to teach you in the past hour and a half,.. you should be ready to go, " sibella said
" yeah all you have to do is head on over to wilbie's and show him how much of a good guest you really are, " phantsma giggled, " and I think He'll love it ! "
" sibella then loooked at a clock on the wall, " oh my, you have an hour and a half to get there, you better go now if you don't want to be there too late, " she quickly informed her,. " we'll just have to trust you know what to do now, "
winnie then awkwardly looked down at herself, grabbing the ends up her dress..she was really looking forward to heading over to wilbies..but..now she was more concerned on " Heading " over there.. " I think I'm ready but the thing is, I'd feel really silly going out like this, " she admitted..
" don't be ridiculous, you look fine, now you better hurry, " sibella said begging to push her towards the door as Winnie tried to slow her by skidding her paws long the floor..
" now go and makes us proud, " sibella said, " as Elsa opened the front door for them to pass through..
" But ! but ! " Winnie tried to say, but it was too late sibella had pushed her out the front door, where everyone now stood,
" Go on Winnie, enjoy your night ! show em what you got, " sibella said before patting her on the back,
" we believe in you ! " phatasma yelled before the door slammed shut,
winnie now stood there alone on the porch, not sure what to make of the situation...
" Uh...okay then...here I go...off to wilbie's house, " she stalling a little,...she then took a deep breath as she made her way across the draw bridge..
Inside the girls watched her through the window as she left..all smiling proudly at her...
" There goes our Winnie. I'm so proud of her tonight.. " sibella said holing her own hands together in delight..
" Yeah I hear you. I just wish we could see how things turn out tonight, " Tanis said,
Phantasma then put on a mischievous smirk on her face... " oh, then why don't we ? "
All the other looked up at her her for a moment with blank expressions, then soon smirks slowly began to appear across their faces as well...
To be continued...
