Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House Page #4

---

This is Simon Drake,

coming to you live

from doom house.

Who knows what secrets awake?

People! I thought I told you

to clean the floor in here!

When Simon Drake hunts for

ghosts, he does not trip!

Hello.

Beverly?

Please come down here.

You're not going

to believe what

i'vejust found.

Did you say

something, Simon?

I think I just found something to

make the show an even bigger hit.

That's great.

Just more.

More everything, okay?

More slime, more everything.

Okay?

Hello, Mr. Drake.

Hello?

Somebody down there?

Simon?

Simon!

Simon? Are you okay?

Yes, Beverly, I'm fine.

Everything is just peachy.

All right. Did you

say you found something?

No, nothing at all.

False alarm.

Well,

we are mostly finished here.

What do you say

we call it a day?

Yes, yes, let's do that.

By the way, that boy that

we found in the coffin? Yeah?

Do you still have

his address?

I think so.

Yes, here it is. Why?

I was just thinking

i would pay him a visit.

Well, suit yourself.

Yes.

A nice little visit.

It's the least I can do

for one of my fans.

So, how'd it go?

It didn't.

What do you mean?

Did you talk to Simon

Drake about us? Yeah,

but he didn't believe me.

Why not?

Because he doesn't

believe in ghosts.

What? Lthinkwe've

just been insulted.

Help!

Mom!

-Help!

-Mom!

Mom, what are you doing?

-I only took out one little nail.

-Harriet?

Well, maybe it was two nails.

Want me to take that from you?

Yes, please.

Are you all right, mom?

I'm fine, honey.

Wall's going to need

a little help, though.

Dear.

I think there's

something in here.

Be careful, Max.

Yeah, buddy.

Got it.

Harriet, did you

put that in there?

No, I've never

seen it before.

Well, don't just look at it,

doofus, open it up.

Is that nice? Well, come on,

he's just staring at it.

My.

It looks like

some sort ofjewel.

I wonder what it's worth.

If it's worth anything,

i call dibs.

Max found it.

It belongs to him.

Maybe I could use it

in my magic act.

Hey!

"Hey!" Some magician.

Well, it certainly

is pretty.

I bet cammie

would like that.

Maybe you should

give it to her?

Give it to cammie.

Mom, you're a genius.

I love you.

I love you too, honey.

I'll be back for dinner!

Okay.

Dear.

I have the weirdest

brother in the world.

-All right, gather, people!

-Good job, guys.

Gather.

I have

a surprise for everybody.

As you know, Aaron's

father has very graciously

sponsored us for

tonight's competition.

How about a round

of applause for that?

And he has also very kindly

provided us with new costumes

for the show.

Aaron?

So I'll expect to see you

all wearing them tonight.

Now, remember, people,

backstage 7:
00 P.M.

And let's all break a leg.

Max, what are

you doing here?

Hey, can I talk to

you for a minute?

Hello, my name is...

Simon Drake!

You're Simon Drake!

But you already know that, don't you?

And you must be

Max's mother, Mrs. Doyle?

Please, call me Harriet,

Mr. Drake!

Well, then,

you must call me Simon.

Yes, I must.

I mean, lwill. I mean...

Ls Max home?

Who?

Max?

Max. Right, of course.

My son, Max.

He wrote me a fan letter.

I was hoping to surprise him.

Well,

he's not home right now,

but I'm expecting him

any minute, so...

Where are my manners?

Please, come in, Mr. Simon.

It's such an honor, having

Simon Drake in our home!

I assure you, Harriet,

the honor is all mine.

Okay, what is it, Max?

As you can see,

I'm kind of busy

getting ready for

the show tonight.

This won't take a second.

I just wanted to apologize for, you

know, for being such ajerk before.

You weren't really ajerk.

Much.

Yeah, I was. Anyway,

i wanted to give this to you.

Max.

It's kind of a good

luck charm for tonight.

Not that you'll need it.

You guys are gonna win.

It's beautiful, Max.

I love it.

I was hoping you would.

Well, anyway, I'd better go.

See you later.

See you.

I thought you guys

were on a break?

I thought so, too.

Please forgive the mess.

We're in the middle of

renovating the place,

and, well, everything

is all upside down.

Trust me,

i have seen worse.

My.

What a lovely little box.

Wherever did you get it?

Well,

it was the strangest thing.

We found it right

in there when we

put that hole there.

I'm a bit of a collector,

do you mind if I...

Be my guest.

Although I can't

imagine why anyone

would want to hide

such a lovely piece.

It's empty...

well,

it wasn't when we found it.

There was a very nice

little Jewel inside.

Aiewew

a beautiful black crystal.

Probably not worth anything,

but it was still very pretty.

Where is it now?

My son took it to give

it to his girlfriend.

"To his girlfriend."

I see.

Where might she be?..

Probably still at the school.

There's a big dance

competition there tonight.

Dancing.

One lump or two?

None.

Mom? Hey, mom! You

were right, shelovedit

mom? Did you hear me?

I said she loved it.

Mom?

What's the matter

with you?

Dad?

There's something wrong

with mom. She's not moving.

Dad?

Colin?

Nicky? Tara? Help!

Is he gone?

Is who gone?

Simon Drake.

Simon Drake was here,

in my house?

But it wasn't

really Simon Drake.

It was phears.

What are you talking about?

Phears is gone. We sent him

back to his own dimension.

He must have escaped,

because he got back somehow.

And he's possessed

a TV show host.

But why would he do this?

What does he want?

He's after that

crystal you found.

Our parents hid

it for a reason,

and if phears

wants it this bad,

then it must have

been a very good reason.

Like taking over the world.

Max, we have to hide

that crystal again,

somewhere phears

can never find it.

I don't have it.

What? Max,

where is it?

I gave it away.

I gave it to cammie.

Stretch it out.

Stretch it all out.

Feel the stretch.

That's right.

Good one, Aaron.

Now, just lengthen that.

I need you to lengthen that.

Max, what do you want?

I'm backstage.

Cammie, listen, about that

crystal I gave you...

Cammie can't talk right now, she's

got stretching to do. Bye-bye.

Hello?

Okay, people, 10 minutes to showtime.

Let's go, people!

Ticket, please.

Ticket, please?

Hi. Ticket, please?

I don't need

a ticket from you.

"L don't need

a ticket from you."

You're in the first row,

Mr. Drake.

"You're in the first row,

Mr. Drake."

Enjoy the show.

"Enjoy the show."

What are you

doing back here?

I got to talk to cammie.

No, what you need to do is

leave my dancers alone.

I will not have you

distracting them

as they're about to go on

in front of a live audience.

No, but...

No "but." See that sign?

"Stop"?

That sign.

This area is

for dancers only.

That means if you're not wearing

a costume, you need to get out.

Hey, kid. I'm looking for

a cute 16-year-old girl.

Do you know where she is?

Get lost, creep,

or I'll call security.

My gosh, it's Simon Drake!

I love your show! Simon!

Hello, everyone,

and welcome to

the first annual city wide

dance crew competition finals!
