Brooke and Abby creeped past the first hallway. They heard spooky laughter. All of a sudden, a little girl appeared in front of them.
Abby got suspicious. "I've seen آپ before." She said.
"No." The little girl said.
Immediately, Brooke slapped her. Her hand it the girl's face. Then, the little girl moved back so Brooke would think she was a ghost.
"Ghost?" Brooke asked suspiciously.
"No." Abby said.
Then, the little girl started floating in the air. She grabbed Brooke and Abby and carried them off.
"WHOA!" Brooke screamed.
Abby sighed. "She's on strings, Brooke."
The girl took them to a big empty room. Then, a man, a boy about 18, and Christian stepped forward.
"Good job, Valerie." The man said.
Abby's eyes widened. "VALERIE?"
"Ya, that's my name." Valerie sad. "Don't wear it out."
"I'm gonna wear آپ out!" Brooke screamed.
"I know آپ guys!" Abby said. "AND CHRISTIAN?!?!?!"
Christian smiled. "Yes, girl, I'm working for them now."
"You stupid clowns." Abby muttered.
"DO NOT USE THAT WORD AROUND ME, CHILD! I HAVE ABADNONDED THAT JOB!" The man screamed.
"Clowns." Abby repeated. "Clowns. Clowns. Clowns. Clowns."
"SHUT UP!" The man yelled.
Both girls now were repeating the word, singing it, humming it, spelling it, and even yelling it. The man almost exploded.
"SHUT UP!" He yelled.
"Dad, calm down." The boy said.
"I WILL NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM YOU, MITCHELL!" The man yelled.
"MITCHELL!?"
"YES." Mitchell said.
"I definitely know آپ now." Abby کہا to the man.
"And who might I be?" He asked.
"Richard...Von...Bloomehnoze." Abby said.
Christian cracked up. "You never told me آپ had such a funny name, boss!"
"SHUT UP!!" Richard yelled.
"And what a wonderful name it is." Christian کہا to keep himself from being beaten to death.
"Nice save." Brooke told him.
Christian winked.
"So, آپ recognize me." Richard said. "Big whoop. Now, you're just gonna have to wait for all the others to arrive. Then, we shall begin 'The Haunting.'"
The way Richard کہا 'The Haunting' gave Abby the chills. She had to warn the others. If only she could reach her communicator.

Kuki and Wally were now in the Great Hall. Where everyone dined. Kuki pretended she was a rich heiress and that Wally was her handsome waiter. Wally blushed when she called him that. So he played along. He brought her an empty plate. Then, the spooky laughter of a little girl scared the crap out of them. Kuki got up from the chair and hid behind Wally.
"Who's there?" Wally asked. He tried to keep low on stammering. He didn't wanna let Kuki know he was scared too.
"Oh, آپ don't remember me? Valerie asked. She was in the air, laughing manically.
Kuki and Wally looked up. Kuki recognized her automatically.
"You're dead?" Kuki cheered. This pissed off Valerie. Valerie was smart for her age. She realized Kuki and Wally liked each other, so she played her پسندیدہ game.
Jealousy.
"Oh, shut up. But who is this good-looking boy اگلے to you?" Valerie asked.
Wally blushed. Kuki got furious. "This is Wally! He's my best friend, so go away, آپ stupid girl."
"Heh heh, I'm Wally." Wally said, his face now red.
"You're so cute." Valerie added. "Y'know I'm 8 now. I'm old enough to تاریخ someone your age."
"Now, آپ listen here, girlie!" Kuki looked up a Valerie. "Wally is not interested on dating! He'd rather be دوستوں with me."
"Well, that and I sorta have a crush on someone else." Wally said.
A little button in Valerie's mind کہا 'BINGO!'
"You do?" Kuki asked.
"Y- Ya." Wally said. His face was so red, it was almost black. (NO RACISM INTENDED)
"Oh, cuz آپ always seemed uninterested in girls." Kuki said.
"Oh." Wally replied.
Then, Val whistled. Mitchell appeared out of nowhere scaring the H-E- Double Hockey Sticks out of Kuki and Wally. Kuki sprinted one way, Wally dashed the other.
While running, Wally thought about what happened right before. He sighed, the screamed, then sighed again. He found a closet, then hopped right in.
(OK here comes the Op. Z.E.R.O. reference. Please, I feel really weird about typing this, k?)
Wally jumped, and landed on Kuki, who grunted.
"Oh, sorry." He said. "I'm scared, Kuki. I don't know what to do next."
They sat in silence for a while, until Kuki broke the silence.
"Kiss me!" She said.
"KISS YOU?!?!" Wally screamed. "No way! Nope, not gonna happen- OK." Wally knew this was the only time this was gonna happen, so he took the chance. Besides Kuki was offering HIM. How much better could life get?
"Pucker up!" Kuki said.
Wally did as he was told. He was very nervous. The only time he had kissed someone was when that girl had kissed him for a half سیکنڈ to turn him back from a werewolf. This was serious.
He started putting his head forward. He felt so weird, nervous, and excited. Then, without notice, his lips contacted with Kuki's. It was the weirdest experience of his life.
They just sat there for a while, then, Wally felt the urge to grab Kuki's head and pull her in. (OK, this is getting so weird, I think I might pee myself) Too pushy? He asked himself. Then, Kuki's the one who grabbed Wally's head. His eyes widened. Then, he grabbed hers. This wasn't a make-out session, just a simple kiss. But the head-grabbing thing, that was just a fuller experience. (LOL XD)
Wally wanted this to last forever. But it couldn't. Finally, for what felt like an گھنٹہ to Wally, but was only a minute, Kuki broke away. Wally's face was burning up. It was redder than that huge red سٹار, ستارہ Kacey always talks about. Wally couldn't tell since it was dark, but he was sure Kuki had the same thing.
They sat in silence again. Finally, Wally spoke up.
"Kuki, now that that's over, I think I gotta tell ya somethin'." He said.
"Ya?" Kuki asked.
"Well, y'know how earlier I told that Valerie girl I had a crush on someone else?"
"Ya?" Kuki got closer to his face.
Wally blushed harder than he had ever before. (YEY! BLUSHVILLE!) "Well, um, that person was, um, uh, you."
There was silence again.
"Well, I kinda like آپ too, Wally. " Kuki admitted.
Wally had a grin that stretched from ear to ear.
