Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend? Page #2

You got to feel like a winner.

You know what? Get in there, stand

at the bottom of that rope,

stare up and say...

When I get to the top I just

hope nobody looks up my shorts.

I was very good-looking

when I was younger.

Things change, darling.

You'll learn.

Look, your brother, Colin,

is really good at that.

So, go ask him

for some pointers.

Colin?

The only pointers he has are the

ones popping up on his forehead.

Max!

He's definitely from

my side of the family.

Okay, why don't you go ask

your brother for some pointers.

Okay, I will.

Bye, Grandma.

Goodbye, sweetie.

- Bye, cuz.

- Yeah.

Happy Halloween.

Try to meet a nice ghoul.

You could bring her home

to your mother.

You know, you would be so

much better as a blonde.

Have you ever

thought about that?

What's up, booger boy?

Wait.

Do you hear that?

Hear what?

That...

That cat meowing.

It sounds like it's coming

from right here in the house.

Ha! You wish. Mom and Dad

would never let you get one.

So, you don't hear anything?

No.

Just this...

Hey! Get off!

Ugh! I have to

wear this.

Listen, here's the situation.

Tomorrow is senior

photo day and I figure

since all the girls in my

class will be in one place,

this is the perfect opportunity

for me to score

some points, you know.

Put on a little show.

Oh. So, you want

to do a magic act?

No, not a whole act, you doofus.

Just a trick, something big.

Something that will impress Jessica

Rogers and her whole posse.

And you're gonna show it to me.

Right now.

Right now?

Right now.

Uh...

You want me to show you a trick?

Yeah, I don't know. I'm

kind of rusty right now.

Maybe I better think about it.

Well, you better think fast.

'Cause I'm not leaving

until I see a good one.

Ow! Ow!

Well, you said you wanted

to see something good.

Is this good enough?

Yeah, this is...

This is great.

How do you do this?

Well, you just stand in front

of your shoes and chant...

Got it.

Works every time.

Cool. Thanks, man.

Oh, hey, hey. Um, I have that rope

climb test tomorrow. Any pointers?

Yeah, urn...

Don't fall.

Okay, come here.

Good news.

I found a solid clue

about your parents.

I went on the town's historical

website and found this...

You know, I hate that they

put "ghost hunter" in quotes.

He was a ghost hunter,

obviously,

or none of this

would be happening.

Okay, so...

Three years ago,

it says your dad was doing research

at the old county courthouse.

Doesn't mention your mom.

Well, that was just

two days before

both Mom and Dad

disappeared for good.

And then we...

Ended up like this.

You know, like, that

courthouse is the last place

Dad was before he disappeared.

We need to search there.

Tonight.

Tonight.

Why tonight?

Well, Halloween is coming

and Phears will have the power to

free his ghost army on that night,

if we don't stop him.

We need to

go there. Now.

I liked Halloween a lot better

when I thought the ghosts

were make-believe.

Let's go.

Maybe we should forget it. What?

You're not scared, are you?

Why wouldn't I be?

'Cause you're not

a little tiny baby.

What did you say?

I'm gonna open

the little tiny window.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay?

Yeah.

Oh!

Max!

I'm good.

He's good!

He's good.

Whoa!

This place is pretty cool.

Cammy did this with her friends.

She's so talented.

Of course she is.

Not now!

Okay, I'm a ghost and

this is some scary stuff.

If I didn't have my

ring to protect me,

I don't think I would

be able to do this.

Seems Cammy has a thing for

freaks and weirdoes, Max.

Maybe you do stand a chance!

Very funny.

Guys, let's start over there.

Of course.

Start in the scariest place.

Makes perfect sense.

Guys?

Note to self, not a ghost.

How did people get anything

done before computers?

If I could just use a search function,

this would take two seconds.

We're wasting time, we should

be looking somewhere else.

Tara, it's okay. We're

doing the best we can.

Don't beat yourself up.

We'll find something.

What if we don't?

Uh, Max?

A little help, please.

Go.

MAXI Nick?

Oh, yes, that's it! It probably has

everything we need to know about Dad.

Get it down!

I got it.

Let's get out of here and check

this stuff out at my house.

Yes!

Hey, Max.

Cammy?

What are you doing here?

I was just...

I wanted to check out

your haunted house.

But you couldn't

wait till it was open?

It's scarier this way.

I love a good scare.

So, what's in the box?

Oh, just some stuff for

a project I'm working on.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I just came back

because I left my phone.

You know, it's pretty

weird that you're here.

Most people would be really

scared here alone at night.

Not me.

Nothing scares me.

Except for wood rot.

Which those cross-beams

are full of.

With their dampness

and moisture.

You're, uh...

You're a pretty

interesting guy there, Max.

Can I take that as a compliment?

If you want.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Let's see.

Okay, this was

everything he was working on.

There's so much I don't

even know where to start.

You'll have to start without me.

I'm exhausted.

I have to get some sleep.

I have that stupid rope-climbing

test tomorrow in PE.

If I flunk this, I'll have

after-school PE for a month!

Wait, I have an idea.

What if Nicky and I show up in gym class

tomorrow and help you up the rope?

What?

All you have to do is make it look like

you're climbing and we'll fly you up.

I mean, it's the least

we could do for you.

You know,

that would work.

Mmm-hmm.

And not only will I pass, but Cammy

Cahill will be totally stoked.

Oh, no, maybe this

was a bad idea.

Anything for a friend, Max.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Hey, Cammy.

Great seeing you last night.

Oh, um...

Yeah, that...

That was pretty random, huh'?

Uh...

Just wondering if...

Maybe you wanna

come over tonight

and maybe do some extra

credit for science class?

Um...

Urn...

You love him.

I...

The thing is tonight, Max,

I'm just so busy, um...

Plus my science grades

are pretty good.

MAXI Oh.

Okay.

Can't wait for our

haunted house date.

Hmm?

Hey, Max!

Look what we got!

The Nocturnal

and Dawn of Angels.

Is that awesome?

Yeah, it is!

And you're the first

guy we want to play with.

Yeah, you are!

Uh, guys?

It's full HD.

1080p.

Guys?

Multi-player

with connectivity!

Up to 32 outside

challenge games!

With our dedicated T3

line, we'll be flying tonight.

Yeah, baby!

Guys! No...

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

You guys have fun tonight.

No. No. No, wait!

Please, wait.

Or maybe we can do it tomorrow?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We know,

you want to be the first guy to

open the box and unlock the cheats.

Okay. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Go ahead! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go ahead!

Come on, man! Thirty-two

outside challenge games?

Why didn't you tell me before?

Okay, meet me at my house tonight.

We are gonna beat this game!

Bam! All right see you boys after school.

Okay? We'll see you later, dude.

It's gonna be awesome!

Fall in!
