Krystle: let think about that..........YES!

Krystle: I couldn't get out of the bathroom cause there were to many people in there! come on lets go! (grabs Helga's hand and begins to drag her out)
Helga: hey wait a minute! (stops, making Krystle stop) you don't know your way around here! let me lead! (begins to drag Pheobe and Krystle)

Krystle: I'm not being the spoiled one Helga! you are!
Helga: but I know my way around, and you don't so I should lead!
Krystle: (stands up and glares her cousin strait in the eyes)..............(backs away) ok!

Krystle: thats mine there! (points to a huge suitcase)
Helga: (picks up the suitcase) what did you pack...your whole room?
Krystle: not the whole room! just the most inportant things!
Helga: (sarcasticly) oh goody, the most inportant things! come on lets go! (they walk outside and get on the bus)
Krystle: after we go and put all my things away, you can show me around, and intraduce me to all your freinds! ok? ok!
Helga: (thinking) she is already starting to bug me! I hope she doesn't go snooping around and find my Arnold shrine! *gulp* (gets a scared look on her face)
Krystle: (looks at Helga) what's wrong Helga?
Helga: oh nothing! just nothing! (relaxes)

Krystle: hi! who are you? I'm Krystle Pataki!
Harold: I'm Harold. are you related to Helga Pataki?
Krystle: she's my cousin, why?
Harold: are you going to call us names like she does?
Krystle: why would I do that? just because I'm related to her doesn't mean I'm anything like her!

Krystle: ok! (Helga leaves) ok, lets see if I got every thing! (looks through her bag) yep, every thing!
:::an hour later:::
Krystle: man, am I bored! (flips through some tv channels) you would think that with 199 channels there would be somthing on! rrrrrrrr. (tosses the remote across the room) I think I'm going to go out and find Helga. (gets out of the chair and gos out the door) it's a good thing uncle Bob and aunt Meriam never pay attention to anything! *laughs* *sigh* (walks down the street, turns a corner and bumps into Helga) where were you?
Helga: (sits up cause she was on her back) crimany! I told you where I was! I was at the arcade!
Krystle: I know, I know, but where is the arcade?
Helga: it's a little farther down that street. (point over her shoulder with her thumb) now come on, lets go back home. (stands up)
Krystle: no...I am going to the arcade...you can go home if you want to! but I was deathly bored there.
Helga: 'deathly bored'? oh brother! I think I have the weirdest....wait no...the second weirdest cousin ever!
Krystle: I am not weird! I like to talk that way, thats all! fine with you?
Helga: what ever! (tosses her hands up and starts to walk home)

Arnold: hi Krystle! so, why are you visiting Helga?
Krystle: (looks down) my parents are devorcing and they sent me here. they might not even take me back, so they basicly gave me away. it was so sudden! (looks up at Arnold with eyes full of tears) I really wish they weren't.
Arnold: I'm so sorry Krystle! I didn't know! I shoudn't have asked!
Krystle: (settles down) it's ok Arnold! at least I have parents, not like some other kids I know!
Arnold: (looks down at his desk) heh, yeah, atleast you HAVE parents. *sigh* (begins to read somthing)
Krystle: what? did I say something wrong? (long pause) I'm sorry if I did!
Arnold: (looks up fro the book) thats ok...you couldn't have known I don't have parents.
Krystle: *gasp* (puts hand on Arnold's shoulder) I'm SO SORRY!
Arnold: it's ok Krystle. I live with my Grandparents so it's basicly just as good.
:::after school and after all the kids got their stuff for the trip:::

Lila: (smiles) good! (pulls out a book from her handbag and begins reading)
Krystle: I hope you don't get carsick easily!
Lila: why is that?
Krystle: you do know that reading in a car can make you get real carsick don't you? sometimes it can even make you throw up!
Lila: (looks at her book) no, I never knew that! thanks ever so much for telling me! (begins to read again)
Krystle: oh! so you don't get carsick easily huh? (Lila shakes her head) well sometimes it even does it to some one that doesn't get carsick easily, it did it to me! made me barf every where! *smothered chuckle*
Lila: (puts the book in her handbag) oh, really! I think I'll just sleep on the ever so boring way there. (dozes off)
Krystle: (whispering to herself) I thought she would never go to sleep instead of reading!
:::an hour later:::
Krystle: I...am...so...bored...and...miserable! (burys head in hands) how boring! and sickening!

Helga: here! (hands Krystle a deck of cards) pull down the small table on the back of my seat.
Krystle: what? there is a table on a bus?
Helga: experimental.
Krystle: (takes the deck of cards,then pulls down the table and starts playing solitaire) thanks Helga.
Helga: ah, it's not that big a deal! those cards are so stinkin' boring I had to get rid of 'em some how!
Krystle: oh.
:::night:::
Krystle had gone to sleep, and fallen on her cards. all of a sudden the bus started to swirve back and forth waking some people up.
Arnold: (waking up) whats going on? *yawn*
Mr.S: nothing Arnold, nothing. just go back to sleep!
Arnold: ok. (trys to go back to sleep when the bus jerks back and forth throwing some people out of their seats) (looks out the window seeing a weird light) hhhhmmm...weird.
all of a sudden the bus jerks off the road to the right, and the bus driver can't stop it.
Mr.S: (walks up to the bus driver) um, exuse me...but what is going on?
bus driver: I don't know!
Mr.S: ok then. do you think we are going to crash?
bus driver: I know we're going to crash! aaaaaaaahhh! wake everyone up, we're all going to die!
Mr.S: (turns around seeing that not everyone was awake) everyone! just to inform you, we might not make it out of this.
Helga: what?! we are going to die! (begins to cry histaricly) we're going to die!
Pheobe: Helga, this would be a great time to tell Arnold your secret.
Helga: (calms down and looks stern) Pheobe, you're right! I'm going over there now, and tell him my deepest, darkest secret! (stands up and starts to walk towards Arnold's seat)
just as she did the bus jerked more, and then, they ran right into an old building.
the bus just crashed into a building.
Mr.S: (wakes up) uh...where am I? (remembers where he is and what just happened) oh my! (looks around, and everyone is injured) (stands up, but it is very hard to) I better see who is alive!

Nadine: (in pain) no! it's worse! owww!

voice: man, I think I almost lost my leg in that! (Iggy lifts up a peice of bus so he could look out) is every one ok?
Mr.S: I think so. (he looks all around) where is Arnold?
Harold: (looks around) I can't see him Mr.Simmons.
Pheobe: maybe he is still under the peices?
everyone begins to look under every thing.
Krystle: he's not under here.
Iggy: he's not here either.
Mr.S: well, I guess we all survived exept him. I really wonder where he is? hey wait! (gos to the front of the bus where the kid with all the glass in him was) (looks down and sees the kid's body still there) uh, I think I found him! (uncovers the kid's head, which is revealed to be Arnold, and he picks him up cradling the body in his arms) here he is!
Gerald: oh man! Arnold! (runs over) *sigh* poor, poor, Arnold!
Lila: oh no. (walks over and pokes Arnold's face) he's ever so cold.
Mr.S: well, I think thats because he's dead Lila.
Lila: oh no! (begins to cry, and she wasn't the only one, every one was)
Pheobe: poor Arnold!
all of a sudden Arnold's color begins to return and he coughs.
Mr.S: eveyone I think you can stop crying...he's alive!
Gerald: Arnold! buddy can you hear me? (Arnold coughs again) we better get him to a hospital!
Mr.S: I'm going to go look and see where we are, stay here and watch Arnold, see if he's ok. (puts Arnold down and walks out of the crashed bus)
Gerald: (lifts up Arnold's head) Arnold? can you hear me? (long pause) answer me! (Arnold coughs again) you better be ok buddy! (Arnold coughs again but this time it sounded gurggly) I think he's drooling. (Arnold coughs again, but this time stuff comes out, and Arnold gasps)

Gerald: I didn't see any light...did you guys? (everyone shakes their heads) no one else saw it Arnold.
Arnold: oh ok...it was real...weird.
Mr.S: (runs inside) how is Arnold doing?
Gerald: he's doin' pretty good.
Mr.S: I'm very glad to hear that! well, I'm glad to tell you we're in a town
everyone cheers.
Mr.S: unfortanutly it's a ghost town. (everyone stops cheering) so there is no hospital fr miles.
Arnold: it's ok Mr.Simmons...I'm fine...and so is everyone else.
Mr.S: you may feel fine righ now Arnold, but I'm not going to take any chances! we are going to stay the night here and tomarrow we are going to see where we are on the map and find a way out of here. everyone get your stuff. don't worrie Arnold I'll have someone get your stuff. Gerald!

Gerald: ok! (gets out of the bus)

Mr.S: I'll carry you. (he picks Arnold up)
Arnold: ow ow ow! careful! ouch! how are you going to carry your stuff with me in your arms?
Mr.S: I'll get it after I bring you inside. (walks out of the bus over to an old building that they could barly see because it was dark out, and they go in) ok then, can you stand up?
Arnold: I can feel my legs now, so I think I can. can you put me down please?
Mr.S: ok then! (he puts Arnold down and he stood perfectly) good, your legs are fine. I'm going to go get my stuff ok?
Arnold: fine! (waves to Mr.Simmons as he leaves, and he hears a strange sound) what was that? (he hears it again only louder, and he can tell what it sounds like, it sounds slow, soft, breathing, some one was breathing down his neck) (scared) who's there? (he turns around) AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Mr.Simmons hears Arnold, and rushes inside seeing Arnold on the floor.
Mr.S: oh my gosh, Arnold! (drops his stuff and runs over to Arnold) Arnold, can you hear me?
Arnold: (slightly wakes up, and curls up in a ball) it...it was awful!
Mr.S: what was Arnold?
Arnold: it...it was someone that I really don't know!
Mr.S: Arnold...how can it be someone you don't know? we're in a ghost town.
Arnold: I don't know! (looks at his legs) that person, or thing, pulled the glass out of my leg!
Mr.S: (looks at Arnold's legs) wow! I wonder who it was?
Arnold: I don't know! (looks up at Mr.Simmons) first I almost die, then I see someone I don't know in a ghost town! this is starting to scare me! I just want to go to bed!
Mr.S: ok Arnold. can you stand up?
Arnold: yeah, I think so. (stands up) can you come with me up to my room?
Mr.S: sure Arnold. (they walk up the old rikety stairs into an old room that had a bed, a drawer, and a window, but that was all) will this be good Arnold?
Arnold: (nods his head) yeah this will do! (runs down the stairs, grabs his stuff from the now shoked Gerald, and runs back upstairs) ok, bye Mr.Simmons! (slams the door) now...hopfuly nothing happens tonight!
:::later that night after everyone was in bed and asleep:::
Arnold: (mumbling in his sleep) yeah, good idea...the soda can can take itself to the dance, I don't need to! (wakes up) *yawn* what a weird dream! (feels warmth in his bed, that wasn't from him, so he turns over, but can't see anything) (scared) who is there? (all of a sudden green beautiful eyes open in his bed, and he sees a smile under the eyes) AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (jumps out of bed and the person disapears)
Mr.S: (runs into the room) what is it Arnold?!!?!
Arnold: (pointing at the bed panicking) uh...uh...eh...it...
Mr.S: let me guess...you had a nightmare about the thing that scared you earlier?
Arnold: (swalows hard) yeah, that must be it! (shaking) I'm...I'm ok! it's nothing...just a dumb nightmare that something with eyes and a mouth was in my bed! heh. that must have been it. (gets into his bed looking at the place that the 'thing' had been) night Mr.Simmons.
Mr.S: don't scare me like that. ok Arnold? I already thought you were dead once...and I don't want to see your limp, lifeless body again, ok? *chuckle*
Arnold: heh...ok! (looks up at Mr.Simmons, then back at the spot) (falls asleep real quickly)
Mr.S: ok then. (leaves)
:::an hour later:::
Arnold: (wakes up and streches) I'm thirsty. (gets out of bed and starts to walk out of the room when he remmbers the face he saw in his bad, and looks back at his bed) naw! (turns around and heads downstairs) ok, is there anything to drink here? (looks through some of the things that were in the thing that used to be an old kitchen for the inn that they were in) hhhhmmm...I think this place is too old to have good things in it. (turns around and freezes, because right in front of him were a pair of beautiful green eyes)
person or thing: may I help you?
Arnold:..........(shaking)
person: I don't bight. (disapears)
Arnold:...........aaaaaahhhhh!!!! (runs upstairs into Mr.Simmons room, and into his bed)
Mr.S: (looks under his covers) Arnold...what are you doing in my bed?
Arnold: (opens his eyes and looks up at Mr.Simmons) I was downstairs to get a drink of water, and I was looking around for a glass or something and I turned around and there was a girl! no, it wasn't anyone I know!
Mr.S: *sigh* do you want to sleep in here with me? (Arnold nods his head slowly) ok then. you don't have to be so scared! it was just something your tired mind must have thought up. ok?
Arnold: uh huh. your right...it couldn't have been anyone, espeically since every one is asleep! heh, heh, heh! sorry I'm being so annoying Mr.Simmons.
Mr.S: it's ok Arnold you're not being annoying. just bothersome. now go to sleep.
Arnold: ok. (falls asleep)

Arnold: did it have green eyes?
Helga: yes! yes she did! it was awful! I thought it was Brainy cause he is always behind me breathing, so I tried to punch "him", and nothing happend! so I looked behind me, and there stood a young teenage girl!
Harold: now, both Arnold and Helga are going crazy! *laugh*
Arnold: man! now you must beleive me now Mr.Simmons?
Mr.S: Arnold...Helga must have been thinking about your story, and then she must have gotten a little nervous about it. it's a perfectly resonable explanation. alright?
Arnold: sure Mr.Simmons.
Helga: it was awful! *crys*
Pheobe: Helga! stop it! it was nothing...you heard Mr.Simmons!
Helga: *stops crying* Pheobe, how could I feel it's breath on me if it wasn't there!
Pheobe: (thinking) hhhhhhhmmm, how could she feel breath on her? (talking) it must have been a breeze!
Helga: sure Pheebs. I'm going to go upstairs to pack, come with me Pheebs.
Krystle: I'm going too Helga...I wan't to pack also.
the three girls go upstairs.
Helga: right there is where I saw the girl. (points to the spot next to her bag) then as I ran downstairs she disapeared!
Pheobe: how could you see her if you were running downstairs?
Helga: I wanted to make sure she fallow me so I watched her, but when I got to the door she disapeared! just like that (snaps figers)!
Krystle: lets stop talking silly talk and start packing!
Helga: silly talk? (turns to face Krystle) silly talk? what would you do if yo saw someone you didn't know in a ghost hotel? huh?
Krystle: (long pause) uh, probably shake her hand and ask her her name!
Helga: (frowns) what if we saw her right now, would you do that?
Krystle: (freezes and eyes widen) He...He...Helga...sh...sh...she...AAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Helga: what?! where is she? (turns and looks to Pheobe who is shaking and looking behind Helga) (instantly scared) she is right behind me isn't she? (turns around and sees a girl with a smile on her face) AAAAAAHHH!!!!

:::downstairs:::
Mr.S: (sees the three girls running down the stairs screaming) what was it this time girls?
Helga: it was her again!
Pheobe: Helga is right!
Krystle: the girl was standing rigt behind Helga!
Arnold: don't you beleive me now Mr.Simmons?!
Mr.S: well...I'm starting to beleive it...but I don't beleive it to the extent of finding who the young girl is. I'm going to go outside and see whats left of the bus...ok? (leaves as everyone says 'ok')
Krystle: she had green eyes, and black wavy long hair!
Arnold: I knew about the green eyes. she was in bed with me, and in the kitchen with me, but both times all I saw of her was her eyes. it was creepy!
Sid: boy howdie! I hope that spooky girl doesn't visit me in the night!
Gerald: Sid...tonight is about (looks at watch, and looks back up at Sid) 13 hours from now. you can relax.
Sid: but what if she comes now? huh? huh? what then?! huh?! we're all going to die!
Gerald: (not very calm himself) quit over reacting Sid.
Arnold: man, I didn't relise how hungry I am. (grabs a doughnut off the table) where did we get these?
Helga: pink boy there had them in his suitcase.
Harold: don't call me pink boy!
Krystle: this is awful! I can't beleive we are stuck here!
Arnold: we might not be Krystle...the bus might still be working, or someone might come through here!
Helga: um, Arnold...there is one thing you forgot.
Arnold: whats that?
Helga: THIS IS A GHOST TOWN! NO ONE WILL COME THROUGH HERE! AND ANOTHER THING, THE BUS IS MANGLED! THERE WERE PEICES OF IT EVERY WHERE!
Mr.S: (walks in with a disapointed look on his face) well...we might be here longer than I thought. the bus is squashed, and no one will possibly come through here!
Helga: NO!!! we can't be trapped here with a ghost! nnnnnnnnnnoooooo!!!!
Harold: we have barly any food! we're going to starve!
Helga: you have a suitcase full of food...I think atleast you will servive!
Arnold: *sigh* great. Gerald, want to go upsairs with me and unpack?
Gerald: I think I'll do that later, ok buddy?
Arnold: please Gerald!
Gerald: sorry man, I wan't to stay here!
Arnold: ok then. *gulp* (looks up the stairs and pauses)
Harold: whats a matter Arnold...scared that the big bad girl will get you?
Arnold: uh no...no. I just want someone to come with me. you want to come Harold? (smirks and looks behind him at Harold) hhhhhmmmmm?
Harold: no way!
Arnold: ok then! (walks up the stairs into his room) no one is in here, no one is in here!

Arnold: (freezes) who is there?
girl: just me. the one that needs help.
Arnold: (turns around and looks at the girl) why do you need help?
girl: I need help to find something.
Arnold: ok then...what do you need to find, I can help you! do you live here?
girl: I've lived here since 1850!
Arnold: what!?
girl: yeah, I know I'm kinda old for the way I look...thats cause I died when I was 14, so, I still look 14!
Arnold: ok, then. (shakes like he had a chill) it's a little cold up here.
girl: thats cause the window is open.
Arnold: oh ok. so, why did everyone leave this town?
girl: *sigh* it all started after I died. first, after I died I stayed here cause it's allways been my home, and I began to kind of scare people. roomers spread about this inn, and everyone became scared and began to leave. eventully my mother and father left the inn and me here alone because they also became scared of me. everyone that has ever seen me has became scared. I really don't know why!
Arnold: uh, I think it's because you are pale and are a ghost.
girl: then why aren't you scared right know?
Arnold: I accully am so scared I can't move. but I figured I'd talk to you before I run downstairs and tell everybody.
girl: go ahead, everyone else has! *a slight tear*
Arnold: (suddenly calms down and relises this young girl was a ghost that didn't want to hurt anyone, she just wanted atention) I'm sorry. I'll stay here with you. (sits on the bed)
girl: thank you, but you don't have to if you don't want to!
Arnold: I want to help you find whatever you want me to!
girl: ok then! first I'll tell you my name. it's Callista! ok, what I need to find is my mother's old jewlery box.
Arnold: what room was it in last?
Callista: it was last in the room you slept in last night.
Arnold: this one?
Callista: no, the other one. you know, when you got scared of me.
Arnold: oh, ok! lets go see what is in there! (they run in there and look around) where could it be?
Callista: oh man!
Arnold: what?
Callista: I remember now! (runs over to the fireplace and pulls down a candle) oops, wrong one. (pulls another and the fireplace moves)
Arnold: *gasp* oh man! oh man!
Callista: yeah! now come on!
they go inside, and walk a little ways when Arnold feels someone tap his shoulder.
Arnold: (scared) Callista, was that you?
Callista: (in front of Arnold) what was me?
Arnold: (very scared) someone tapped my shoulder, was it you?
Callista: (scared herself) nnnoo I'm in front of you!
Arnold looks behind him and sees a pair of bright blue eyes.
Arnold: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Callista: WHAT WHAT? (looks behind her and sees the eyes) I thought I was the only one that knew about this?! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
:::downstairs:::
Gerald: do you guys here something?
the screaming gets louder.
Gerald: sounds like Arnold is in trouble!
Helga: wait...(listens for a little while) there are two people screaming. (turns pale) Arnold, and a girl.
Gerald: what!? but no one went with Arn...(eyes widen) you don't think?
Helga: thats exactly what I was thinking Geraldo!
they run upstairs.
Helga: what room is it coming from?
Gerald: that one! (points to Mr.Simmons room door) come on!
Helga: ok!
they rush into the room and see no one there.
Gerald: I still hear it and it's in this room...comeing from the fireplace!
Helga: why would they be in the fireplace Geraldo? huh? it's not like it's a fake one and if I pull this candle the fireplace will move revealing Arnold, and the ghost girl! (she pulls the candle and the fireplace moves) uh, huh?
Gerald: come on Helga, lets go save him, he must be in here!
they begin to walk down the small hallway when they see them.
Gerald: Arnold, look out behind you! there is that girl you were talking about!
Arnold: she's my freind, it's the one in front of me I'm worried about!
Gerald: (sees the one in front of Arnold) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
