17
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.799
than by heading back to Strickfield with an extra epic

18
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:47.560
story all about the notorious Carnivosh Estate, one of Strickfield's

19
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.799
most haunted homes. And that's saying something in a little

20
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.480

it's about time we jump into the story. I hope

40
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.639
you're ready for a big scare in Strickfield, because I

41
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.639
know I am, so get comfy and get ready because

42
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:28.520
the story will start right after these quick words, the

43
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:35.919
last carnivoche by rob Fields. Halloween Night of last year

44
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.759
was definitely one I'll be remembering for a very long time,

45
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.159
probably even when this little mouseies old and gray, if

46
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.360
I even live that long. With all the trouble we

47
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.520
get in, it all started on Halloween night with Ariel

48
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.840
Mirran and me at her mansion inside the walled off

49
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.639
Mere Engated community. We were at some birthday gathering or something.

50
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.080
Ariel's one job was to keep her little cousin out

51
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:08.159
of trouble. Long story short. There after, little Stuart wreaked havoc,

52
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:12.240
Ariel's mom confronted her about it. Ariel got mad and

53
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.199
made a jailbreak, taking yours truly along for the ride.

54
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.319
We ended up back at my place when we found

55
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:23.839
Carter Cross, my next door neighbor, and Buddy was home. Eventually,

56
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:27.079
Mona Abels and Bailey Downs found us at Carter's place

57
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.480
and the five of us went trigger treating. When we're

58
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.920
all done doing that, we go out and have dinner

59
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.759
at Denoyer's grill. Before we went out, Candy Grabbin. We

60
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.920
were in Carter's den looking over one of our local legends,

61
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.680
the cry Baby Bridge, After we got done eating at Denoyer's,

62
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.720
we walked out to the bridge to see if the

63
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.560
legend was true. Boy did we ever find out the

64
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.439
hard way that it was. You'd think that a bunch

65
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.439
of seventh graders could just stay out of trouble. Right wrong.

66
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.079
We had Abigail Tomlin's ghosts chasing us down and trying

67
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.079
to take us for her new children. Along the way,

68
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.519
we learned that Bill Chapman, Richie Horton, and Brian Chunk,

69
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.800
who had disappeared the previous Halloween, were still alive. Well Sorda.

70
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.920
They'd been taken by Abigail Tomlin and brought to the afterlife.

71
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.720
I was determined to rescue him, especially because of my

72
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.759
connection to another ghost named Mary Worth. Long story short.

73
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.120
After a lot of trouble and a lot of hurdles,

74
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.879
I was finally able to summon Maryworth from there. My

75
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.000
ghostly friend forced Abigail Tomlin to release Horton, Chapman, and

76
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:45.279
Chunker back into the mortal realm. After Abigail Tomlin disappeared,

77
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.600
Maryworth altered the road and hid the bridge so others

78
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.680
couldn't come and check out the legend for themselves. After

79
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.319
Mary gave me my body back. A bunch of us

80
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.079
went to Denoyer's grill to get Horton, Chapman and Chunker

81
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.680
some food since they needed it. Then we'd take them home. Now,

82
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.920
if you were with us for the full version of

83
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:12.040
my shortened story, which was called Return to cry Baby Bridge,

84
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.160
you know what happened after. But you're here for this story. Now.

85
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.959
What if I told you our Halloween Night didn't end

86
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.040
with us just celebrating Horton, Chapman and Chunker's return. Have

87
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.639
you ever seen the poster for the original Halloween two?

88
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:35.079
The tagline says, more of the night he came home. Well,

89
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.040
you can call this story more of the Strickfield Junior

90
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.560
High kids Halloween Night. Okay, it's cheesy, right, but you

91
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.279
getting where I'm going with this. We're gonna pick it up.

92
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.040
At Denoyer's grill, Bella Tabon cousin Aileen and me call

93
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.160
her Bells, was treating everybody to food. She told Horton,

94
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.319
Chapman and Chunker to order whatever they wanted. You knew

95
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.120
those guys were really hungry with being gone from the

96
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.480
mortal realm for a whole year. I ain't gonna list

97
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.680
what all those guys ate, but I can tell you

98
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:14.480
it was a lot. Anyway, those guys ate till they

99
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.720
were finally satisfied. This little mousey was surprised that Chunker

100
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:23.800
ate three whole sweet potato pies. After Bells paid the check,

101
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.519
we left the diner and started heading towards downtown village.

102
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.680
That was when Bells and Aleen went their own way.

103
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.519
Probably had some more supernatural batties to take down. We

104
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.480
told them we'd be all right, but since you're here

105
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.600
with us, you just know things ain't gonna be all right. Right.

106
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:45.680
We ain't the kind of kids that go out looking

107
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.879
for trouble, but it always seems to find us. And

108
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.120
let me tell you, trouble was really gonna find us

109
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.439
before too long. Anyway, let's get to the story. The

110
00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.639
five of us are getting to know our new friends

111
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.079
as were walking along Indian Hollow Road to get back

112
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.120
to downtown Village. Truth be told, we've all known about

113
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:10.079
each other, we just never really hung out or talk

114
00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.240
to each other. Horton, Chapman, and Chunker always hung out

115
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:18.560
with each other, just like it's usually the five of us. Okay,

116
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.399
I take that back. The guys know Ariel Mirn before

117
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.040
they finished at Strickfield Elementary. Ariel was telling them it

118
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.319
was her school, kind of like she does at Strickfield

119
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:34.200
Junior High. Now, like Carter Cross, those guys never bowed

120
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.879
to Ariel. They were a great ahead of us and

121
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.639
in Junior High when they disappeared. We are listening as

122
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.600
our new friends are telling us about how horrible things

123
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.759
were in the afterlife and keep thanking us for bringing

124
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.759
them back to the mortal realm. Then Chapman says, anytime

125
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.120
we need a favor from him, to just ask. Carter

126
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.759
tells him it's okay, and to forget it. We'll just

127
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.399
get you guys back to your families and we're all good.

128
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.279
Carter finishes. Since the five of us are all still

129
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.039
wearing our Halloween costumes, He's wearing the Strickfield Junior High

130
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.840
football uniform is his costume. As for the rest of us.

131
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.480
Mona Abels is dressed up like a Denoyer's grill cheeseburger.

132
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.600
Bailey Downs is dressed up like a ghostbuster. Ariel Mirn

133
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.600
is wearing her princess dress from her party, and I'm

134
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.080
wearing an outfit I put together to go to Ariel's

135
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:29.240
party I mentioned earlier. Ariel said, I looked like an aristocrat,

136
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:34.480
so that ended up being my Halloween costume. Names Madeline Donnery,

137
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.360
by the way, but most everybody calls me mouse. Also,

138
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.600
are five are walking bikes. We get only about two

139
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:47.039
miles from Denoyer's grill. When Horton stops you guys seeing this,

140
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.000
he squeaks. He's the nerdy looking guy with the circular

141
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.559
lensed glasses. He kind of looks like Disney's Christopher Robin,

142
00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:00.919
except he's tall and thin. He's wearing a Cobra Kai outfit. Yeah,

143
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.799
that's right. These guys disappeared on Halloween night last year

144
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.720
and we're out trick or treating, so they're wearing costumes too.

145
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:15.759
Seeing what Horton your own shadow again, Chapman jeers, he's

146
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.840
the rough looking guy with the burr haircut and dressed

147
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.480
up like an army guy. Yeah, I'm seeing something too,

148
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.679
Chapman Chunker says he's the pudgy guy dressed up like

149
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.279
a zombie, except his face makeup is gone with coming

150
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:34.200
out of the Castalia River when Abigail Tomlin released these guys.

151
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.919
When the guys walk to the side of the road

152
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.440
and look over a guardrail, we go with them and see.

153
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.360
Since when did Strickfield have that? Ariel asks, in surprise.

154
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.600
We have the Strickfield County Fair and the Feldner County Fair,

155
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.200
but those are actually at the fairgrounds a mile down

156
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:56.639
the road from the current drive in theater. Carter Cross

157
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.879
whips out his smartphone. I'll see if there's anything about

158
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:04.639
it on the university's website. Ariel grabs Carter's arm. Don't

159
00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:08.279
you dare get us into trouble again, Carter. He turns

160
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.840
to her Me, Mona was the one wanting to go

161
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.840
check out the cry Baby Bridge. I was just looking

162
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.960
at it on the family computer at home when you

163
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.159
all came over. I know I gotta stop this, And

164
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.720
if we hadn't gone to the bridge, we wouldn't have

165
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:26.600
learned what happened to Horton, Chapman and Chunker here and

166
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.200
saved him. Carter and Ariel both give me looks, saying

167
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.279
I'm right. Ariel sighs and looks back at Carter. Fine,

168
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.840
look it up, she raises her finger. But we are

169
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.080
not checking out whatever is down there. If I didn't

170
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.080
know better, it looks like some kind of carnival or something,

171
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:51.840
Bailey says, leaning over the guardrail. Then she points, I

172
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.440
mean I see a tickets booth. Okay, I think I

173
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.200
got a hit. Carter says, according to the Strictfield University website,

174
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.480
this is supposed to be the Old Strickfield Carnival. My

175
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:08.080
parents told me a few stories about it, nothing about

176
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.279
like what I'm reading here, though, What is it? Carter,

177
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.960
Mona asks, Come on, tell us, Carter size, any of

178
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.879
you ever hear of the Carnivoche family. Bailey looks over

179
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:26.240
her shoulder, the same Carnivoches that own that creepy old

180
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:30.639
house on Pleasant Valley Road in downtown village. Carter looks

181
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.080
her way. You know of any other Carnivoches. They're probably

182
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.840
a name known in Strickfield. He looks at Ariel, much

183
00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.799
like your family. I'm sure there are a lot more

184
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:47.360
Mirons than there are Carnivoches. Ariel says with pride. Bailey

185
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.759
still looking at Carter. Well, what's the site? Say? Carter's

186
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.120
telling us all how the Old Strickfield Carnival dated back

187
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.960
to the days of the Great Depression. Beldon Carnivoche opened

188
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:02.960
the carnival as a way to try and provide something

189
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.840
affordable to people who didn't have a lot of money

190
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.519
back in them days, but you just know something was

191
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.039
gonna go wrong. This little mousey don't know the whole

192
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.080
story of the Carnivoche family, but I remember hearing a

193
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:19.039
few things around a campfire when Carter and me went

194
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.639
to camp a few summers back when we were in

195
00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:27.000
the Strickfield Village Elementary School. Nothing was mentioned about this carnival, though,

196
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.519
I just remember the Carnivoche family was involved in lots

197
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.080
of stuff you might read in some R. L Stein

198
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.039
teen horror series or something. A shiver's running down my

199
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.360
back when Carter says the carnival started falling on hard

200
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.559
times in the last years. It's like one minute they

201
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.679
were a prospering carnival, then they're losing money in spite

202
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.759
of all the people that kept coming out to help

203
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.480
bring in more money. Belden Carnivoche started keeping the carnival

204
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.440
open during weekends in October and added a Halloween theme

205
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.799
to it, even bringing in some new funhouses to add

206
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:08.120
to the scariness. Supposedly, someone was embezzling money from the carnival,

207
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.240
which finally caused it to close for good in nineteen

208
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.600
fifty five. Carter finishes and puts his phone away. It

209
00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:19.200
ain't been open again since, and we're just seeing it

210
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.039
here now, I ask, in surprise. Hmm. Then again, Carter,

211
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.159
we usually don't come riding down past this part of

212
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:31.240
Indian Hollow Road. Suddenly I'm feeling hands on the back

213
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:35.840
of my shoulders. You scared mouse. I glance over my

214
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:40.879
shoulder at ariel of an old abandoned carnival. Come on, really,

215
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.879
Then I hear her in my ear again. I will

216
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:49.279
never give up. I will see you get scared mouse.

217
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.200
If only she knew he the eight of us are

218
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.519
looking at what we can see of the carnival from

219
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.120
a safe distance. Of course, it wasn't gonna stay that way,

220
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.639
why would it right? What are you doing, Mona Bailey

221
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.039
demands Mona. Carter calls out, once she's over the guardrail

222
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.360
and sliding down the hill on her shoes. Come on, Mona,

223
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.759
what are you doing? Chunker calls out. When Mona finishes

224
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.679
sliding to the bottom, she turns and calls up to us.

225
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:27.000
I really want to see this place up close. You

226
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.679
do remember what happened the last time we went to

227
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:34.200
see a place up close off of Strickfield university's website, right,

228
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.559
Bailey reminds her, In case you forgot, it was earlier

229
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.919
tonight at the cry Baby Bridge. I want to see it.

230
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:47.559
Mona snaps, you don't have to follow me. When Mona

231
00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.720
turns and runs to the carnival, Bailey throws her fists

232
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.919
up at the night sky and growls. Then she lowers

233
00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.080
her arms and turns to the rest of us. That

234
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.960
girl is always getting us in some kind of trouble.

235
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.960
When she calms down, she sighs, I don't want to

236
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:07.120
do it, but I gotta go after her. She's my

237
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.799
best friend. I step up to Bailey. I'm coming with you.

238
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.840
Bailey sighs and pats my shoulder. Once okay, mouse, come on.

239
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.080
We all end up going over the guardrail and going

240
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.720
down the hill. Horton nearly falls on his keyster on

241
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.879
reaching the bottom, and his arms go right around Bailey.

242
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.279
She gasps and cries out, Carter Cross, you better not

243
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:35.000
be trying to scare me again. How exactly am I

244
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.759
supposed to scare you again when I'm right here in

245
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.000
front of you, Carter asks her quietly. When Horton lets

246
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:45.600
go over, Bailey turns around to see him Horton's holding

247
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.240
up his arms. I'm sorry, I didn't want to fall.

248
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.960
I didn't mean to scare you. Bailey's just looking at

249
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.320
him now. Then she sighs and pats his shoulder once

250
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:01.840
it's okay. Then she turns to face the carnal. Mona

251
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.039
couldn't even wait for us. Ariel puts a hand on

252
00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.839
her shoulder. We'll find her, but that means we got

253
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:12.839
to go in there, Chapman says. Guess we're going to

254
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:17.000
the carnival tonight, Carter says, then he wraps his arms

255
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.880
around Ariel from behind and brings his face up next

256
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:24.440
to hers. Want to be my date, princess. I'm sure

257
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:28.079
I can win you a qupie doll. Ariel spins around

258
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.920
and growls. She's ready to yell at him, but now

259
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:33.559
the two of them are looking at each other like

260
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.799
they're in a trance or something. It ain't no secret

261
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:40.440
in our immediate group that Carter and Ariel really like

262
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.039
each other. They don't want to admit it, but we

263
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:49.079
know better. You two can kiss later, Chapman tells him,

264
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.160
making them come back to the real world. We gotta

265
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.000
go after Mona. Ariel turns to Chapman and points right

266
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.640
at him. You can just shut up now, Chapman's right

267
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.920
up in her face. You don't scare me, Ariel. You

268
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.440
never did back at Strickfield Elementary either. You won't. Now

269
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.160
Carter's gotta get in between them. We don't have time

270
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.039
for this. Ariel points at Carter. Now this is all

271
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.480
your fault. If you hadn't, hadn't. They're looking right at

272
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.119
each other again. Now it's my turn to break him up.

273
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.559
You guys, we gotta look for Mona, I remind him.

274
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:31.480
Ariel growls and looks at the carnival. I hate you Mona.

275
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.319
Then she snatches Carter's hand. Fine, you can take me

276
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:40.519
to this ghost carnival. I'm quickly putting my hands on

277
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.440
my mouth to keep from laughing. But when I'm here

278
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:46.759
and Bailey snicker in, I just lose it. Ariel points

279
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.160
at both of us. Now, I hate you girls, and

280
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:52.559
don't you dare think I forgot how you girls were

281
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.119
laughing it up earlier tonight. Carter and Ariel were having

282
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.519
a moment before we went to the cry Baby Bridge

283
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:02.880
that got us girls laughing it up. Anyway, Bailey and

284
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.640
me finish laughing before we all walk into the old

285
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:11.279
Strickfield Carnival. I don't mind telling you this place looks awful, scary,

286
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:16.759
especially on Halloween night. Fortunately, Ariel don't see me shiver

287
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.920
when I feel one going down my back one more time.

288
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.880
Ariel could have seen this little mousey get scared and

289
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.759
she missed it.

290
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.720
Don't go away, weekly spooky, We'll be right back.

291
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.119
We all stick together, though. Carter and Ariel are holding

292
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.079
hands ahead of us. We're calling out for Mona, but

293
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.680
she ain't turning up nowhere. As we're looking around, we're

294
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.480
seeing all these classic things from this carnival. We pass

295
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:53.359
by game stands, food stands, and then one of those

296
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.240
high strikers. You know that game where you take the

297
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:58.920
big sledgehammer and make the puck go up to try

298
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:02.400
and ring the bell up to I nearly trip on

299
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.680
something and see it's the sledgehammer for the game. Even

300
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.319
though I stop myself from falling, Chunker still grab my arm. Thanks,

301
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:14.079
I tell him. Then I see Carter picking up the hammer.

302
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.400
You going to do it, Carter, Ariel jeers. He lets

303
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.039
go of Ariel's hand. Yeah, I hear you, princess. I'll

304
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.559
show you. Carter studies the high striker before he raises

305
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:33.119
the sledgehammer and brings it down hard clang. Carter drops

306
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:38.279
the hammer and turns to Ariel. Take that, Princess. Suddenly,

307
00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.240
something lands in Carter's hand gasps when he sees he's

308
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:46.119
holding a QP doll. We're all just looking at Carter now.

309
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:49.519
He gives us a weird look before quickly handing it

310
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.640
off to Ariel. Here you go, Princess, maybe you can

311
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:58.039
give this to your little cousin Stewart. Ariel snatches the

312
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.160
doll and points right at him. Don't you dare mention

313
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:04.440
that rotten little goober. He's the whole reason Mouse and

314
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.680
I jail broke from that awful party at my house

315
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:13.000
to begin with. Carter softens up. Okay, sorry, Princess, so

316
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:18.319
does Ariel. It's okay, but this doll just appeared in

317
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:24.240
your hand after you won. Carter gulps. We'd better keep moving.

318
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.160
When Carter turns, Ariel quickly moves up to him and

319
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.440
holds his hand again. I'm biting my lower lip to

320
00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.960
keep from laughing. Bailey's holding her mouth with her hands

321
00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.480
to keep Ariel from hearing her snicker. I can hear you, girls,

322
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.599
Ariel snaps, not turning around. I hate you both. I

323
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.000
keep walking the carnival and passing by the old rides.

324
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:51.240
Of course we're gonna see the Merry Go Round. Next

325
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.880
to that ride is the bumper Cars. I look up

326
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.759
and see the ferris wheel. Definitely one of the more

327
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.599
tall ones I've ever seen, probably bigger than the ones

328
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.039
that are two fairs. You and Carter should take a

329
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.599
ride together, Ariel, Bailey teases. Then you two can kiss

330
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.240
when you're at the top. You know you want to.

331
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:16.440
Ariel growls again, but doesn't turn around. You just keep

332
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.440
it up. Bailey downs, I don't think you'd be able

333
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.880
to get the power going to anything here anyway. Chunker says,

334
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:28.759
probably not. Chapman agrees. We come across some other rides.

335
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.119
There's one called the Whip. On this you're in a

336
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:35.799
car that tamely slings you around in this oval the

337
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:38.720
cars are attached to I move to it and get

338
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.680
a closer look. Then I move back with the others.

339
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.799
We're passing other rides, such as the Wipeout and the

340
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:47.839
tilta Whirl. Never gave it much thought as to how

341
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.119
far these rides date back that are still around today.

342
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.759
Bailey points ahead, Hey, is that Mona over there? Then

343
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.960
she calls out Mona. We finally catch up to Mona

344
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.240
and see she's standing inside one of the funhouses that's

345
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:09.160
called just simply the Haunted House. Each of our county

346
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.079
fairs both have at least one of these, since they're

347
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:15.680
so popular. There. Last summer at the Strickfield County Fair

348
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.599
they got three, probably since it's getting closer to October. Really, Mona,

349
00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:23.759
you ran off so you could come look at this,

350
00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:29.039
Bailey snaps. Mona doesn't look her way. I've always wanted

351
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.119
to go through one of these ever since great Grandpa

352
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:35.920
told me about these things when I was a little kid. Okay,

353
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.599
Bailey says. Mona turns to her. Don't just blow me

354
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:44.880
off like that. Bailey takes Mona's hand. I'm sorry. I

355
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:47.759
didn't mean to be insensitive, but you just ran off.

356
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:51.000
Remember the trouble we got into at that bridge earlier tonight.

357
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:55.279
Remember that we live here in Strickfield, Ohio, where ghosts

358
00:23:55.400 --> 00:24:00.000
and things are real. Mona looks at the funhouse again.

359
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.519
I have to see it. I have to go through.

360
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:09.880
Bailey shakes her head. No, you don't. Mona looks at

361
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.279
her best friend again and pulls her hand free. I'm

362
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:17.039
going through, Bailey. This is an abandoned, defunct carnival. What

363
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.960
could possibly happen, g Mona? The cry Baby Bridge was

364
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.119
supposed to be just a bridge, and look what happened there?

365
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.640
Bailey fires back. Mona tightens her fists and repeats with finality,

366
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:35.759
I'm going through, And before any of us can stop her,

367
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.200
Mona turns and runs from Bailey. She runs up the

368
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.799
steps and onto the platform leading to the entrance. Bailey,

369
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.680
Chapman and me are running after her. By the time

370
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.240
we're up the steps, Mona's already inside. I can just

371
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.119
see the light from her smartphone flash before the door

372
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.480
closes all the way. When I reach the door, I

373
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.880
open it and turn my own smartphone flash on. Right

374
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:03.799
behind you, Maddie Chapman says, lead the way, mouse. Bailey

375
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:07.599
tells me the others are coming in too. Mona is

376
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:12.119
well ahead of us, but I see her flash. Mona stop,

377
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.759
Bailey calls out. We round a bend and have our

378
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:19.079
first scare when we see these monsters off to the left.

379
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:21.839
I shine my phone on them and see they would

380
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:25.440
have came right at us if the power was still on. Still,

381
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:28.519
they were close enough to where they could easily scare us.

382
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.319
With Ariel being way in the back. She again missed

383
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:37.079
seeing me get scared, too funny. I'm kinda surprised Mona

384
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.519
ain't stopping to admire all the scenes we're passing. We

385
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:43.799
keep seeing her phone flash disappearing before she turns off.

386
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.359
Then we lose her altogether. We keep calling out for her,

387
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:53.079
but she isn't answering what is with Mona? Bailey hisses,

388
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.920
why is she acting like this? Your guess is as

389
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.680
good as mine. I tell her, you guys go on ahead.

390
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:04.160
Carter calls out, We're gonna check out the scenes to

391
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.920
make sure Mona ain't hiding out in here somewhere. Good idea,

392
00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.279
Bailey calls back, You guys always get into weird stuff.

393
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:17.599
Chapman asks, you ain't got no idea, buddy. I tell him,

394
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.400
I don't know how long it takes us exactly. I

395
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:24.480
ain't really keeping track of the time we reach the

396
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:27.759
end and come out the other side. What in the

397
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.920
Chapman yells, we go down the steps and stand together.

398
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.920
Now we got Horton with us. Ariel, Carter, and Chunker

399
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:42.000
are still inside looking for Mona. What's going on? Horton squeaks.

400
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.000
Wasn't this place all dark and scary when we went

401
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.519
into the funhouse? Chapman points to Horton, then to Bailey

402
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:53.519
and me. You guys are seeing all this, right, Tell

403
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.079
me you're all seeing this. We're seeing it. We're seeing it,

404
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:01.599
Bailey assures him, not sure I'm believing it, though I

405
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:05.079
pipe up. I don't think you'd be believing it either.

406
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.599
Like Horton said, the carnival was all dark and abandoned

407
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:11.400
when we went in after Mona. Then when the four

408
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.279
of us came out of the Funhouse, this carnival is

409
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.000
all lit up and people are all over the place.

410
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.519
We're here in scary carnival music. The rides are working,

411
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.400
the food stands are open, people are playing the games.

412
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:32.920
They're even people dressed in Halloween outfits. Now, some of

413
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:37.039
those people are checking out our costumes. At the same time,

414
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.839
I'm looking at some of the people not wearing costumes.

415
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.519
Many of the people are wearing similar types of clothes.

416
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:49.279
Let me put it this way, they ain't wearing today's fashions.

417
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:53.640
I'm looking at my smartphone and I got blanks. Where

418
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.799
the date and time are supposed to be. I also

419
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:01.960
got no service where my signal bars should be. This

420
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.240
reminds me of when Carter and me went to that

421
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:08.119
vampire universe last weekend, when we went to the Horror

422
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:12.599
Thon with Bells and cousin Aileen. I'm looking around again

423
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:16.200
and don't believe we're in that vampire universe. That place

424
00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:21.079
was dark and dead. This place wouldn't even be open

425
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.160
and running. No, I gotta find some other info to

426
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.359
figure out where we might be. Where you go in, Mouse,

427
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.880
Bailey demands, is your phone acting up too? When Bailey

428
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.440
catches up with me, I look her way. Yeah, my

429
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.559
phone ain't working either. I'm looking for I suddenly turned

430
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.640
to a trash can and look inside, but don't find

431
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.279
what I'm hoping. I come back up and look at

432
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:52.839
Bailey for a newspaper or something with the date. Bailey's

433
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.200
ready to ask somebody, but then she sees another trash

434
00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:01.559
can and looks inside. She comes out, I got one here, Mouse.

435
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.440
Then she brings it to me. Oh, you've got to

436
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:10.160
be kidding me. I see what Bailey's seeing She points

437
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.319
to it. Anyways, the date of this Strickfield journal is

438
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:22.359
October twenty fourth, nineteen fifty five. Ah Man, I grow seriously,

439
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.759
why we got to live in Strickfield. When we get

440
00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.720
back to the others, everybody's there now except Mona. Bailey

441
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:33.640
takes the paper back and passes it around. Mouse had

442
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.039
a good reason for wanting to find a newspaper here,

443
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:39.960
check out the date. Chapman and Ariel look at each other.

444
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.400
Then Ariel points right at me. What do you know

445
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:48.559
about this? Mouse? I hold up my hands. I'm just

446
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.039
using logic, Ariel, you see in all the clothes and

447
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.279
cars around here, or the prices on stuff. I lower

448
00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:00.680
my hands and don't forget we live in Strickfield. Ariel

449
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:05.119
tightens her fists and growls, I hate you Mouse. She

450
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:10.079
growls again and calms down. Okay, we're stuck here in

451
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:13.920
nineteen fifty five. We'll just go and visit Doc Brown.

452
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:16.359
Then we have him give us the plans for the

453
00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:19.400
flux capacitor so we can build one and go home.

454
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:23.880
Now the rest of us are looking at Ariel really,

455
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.920
Princess Carter mutters, I was just trying to make the

456
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.920
best of this situation. I was just trying to make

457
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:36.759
the best of this situation. Ariel fires back, Geez, Carter

458
00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.079
looks at me. What do we do, Madeline? I'm trying

459
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.839
to think. Then I see yeah, I'll be right back

460
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:48.480
you guys. I run toward the hall of mirrors. I'm

461
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:50.759
ready to pull some money out to pay for a ticket,

462
00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:54.319
but remember I ain't in my current time, so my

463
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:57.519
money's no good here. I can't let people see me

464
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:00.839
talking to Mary Worth out here. Talk to her where

465
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.240
we can be alone. Time to be a little mousey.

466
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:08.759
I end up sneaking in with another family. The attendant

467
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.839
never saw me, one of the perks of being small

468
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.039
and thin. I break away from the family and move

469
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:17.319
to a part of the attraction where it's just me

470
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.039
and mirrors. It takes a bit, but I finally find

471
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.720
a mirror that ain't warped or nothing. Mary Worth appears

472
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:28.359
and looks at me. We're in real trouble here, ain't we?

473
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:32.680
I ask her? The funhouse attraction proved to be a

474
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:38.640
doorway from your time to this one. Mary confirms, Can

475
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:42.799
you send us back? I ask? Mary says she can,

476
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:47.720
but she's got this look on her face. I believe

477
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.559
that you are all summoned to the past for a reason. Madeline,

478
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.640
perhaps you should investigate. Besides, you still need to find

479
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.519
Mona Abels. I think about it for a little bit. Okay, Mary,

480
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.920
I suppose I'll look around here, but we gotta find Mona.

481
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:11.920
She is here. Mary's reflection fades so she can show me.

482
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:19.599
Oh no, that's the Carnivosh estate. I squeak. Yeah, I know,

483
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.640
the one haunted house in Strickfield, just near the edge

484
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:26.119
of downtown village. But seeing it now, you wouldn't think

485
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:30.400
it was the creepy old mansion it's become today. Perhaps

486
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:34.960
Mona Abels is the key to this mystery, Mary suggests.

487
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:41.279
I sigh, yeah, I see what you're saying. Mary, Mary smiles.

488
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:46.480
Be brave, Madeleine, I smirk. You know, I try to

489
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.680
be Mary. Even this little Mouseie gets scared too. Remember

490
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:55.839
I am always with you, Madeleine, call upon me should

491
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.000
you need my help. I would suggest that you return

492
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:02.920
to your friends now, Mary and I end our communication.

493
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.440
I make it to the end of the hall of

494
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:09.079
mirrors and quickly sneak out before the attendant figures out

495
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:13.279
I snuck in. I move and get back to my friends.

496
00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:18.119
Where'd you go, Maddie Chapman demands I take a deep breath.

497
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:23.079
I know where Mona is. She's at the Carnivosh estate.

498
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.319
And you just know nobody's gonna believe me. And you

499
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:34.400
know this how mouse, Bailey asks. I shrug, fine, I'll

500
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.519
go alone then, and then Ariel's hands are on my shoulders,

501
00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:41.480
just like earlier when I was gonna jail break from

502
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.319
Carter's place to head back to the cry Baby Bridge

503
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:49.160
earlier tonight, No mouse, you most certainly will not. And

504
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.279
again Ariel underestimates me like a little mouseye. I quickly

505
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:56.160
drop to my knees and scurry in between her legs.

506
00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:58.839
I come back up and run as fast as I can.

507
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.920
I'm running in between people to try and put distance

508
00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:04.720
in between me and Ariel. I even run around a

509
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:08.000
few food stands. In spite of everything I'm doing, though,

510
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:12.360
I'm gonna lose this one. I got you, mouse, Ariel

511
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:16.239
says triumphantly when she's grabbing me. When it comes to runing,

512
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:22.679
Ariel's real fast, ah, man, I groan, well, I tried,

513
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:25.920
sneaky as I am. I'm definitely the slowest when it

514
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:30.159
comes to running. You really thought you could lose me, mouse,

515
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.920
Ariel gloats. I smirk. You know, for a second there,

516
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.800
I kind of thought I would. Ariel smirks. Remember I'll

517
00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.679
always be the cat to your mouse. Now the others

518
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.519
are with us. When Ariel lets go of my shoulders,

519
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.320
I put my foot down. Look, I'm going to the

520
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.519
carnivosh Estate. That's where Mona's at. I ain't gonna tell

521
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.960
you how I know, I just do. Okay, then tell

522
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:59.559
us something convincing to make us go with you. Bailey says,

523
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.320
that's easy enough, because Mona's your b f F. Bailey,

524
00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:06.519
you know she'd look for you if it was you,

525
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.320
Bailey size good hustle mouse. Okay, but if Mona ain't there,

526
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:17.119
she will be. I promise you'll all see. The others

527
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.280
finally agree to come with me. We leave the carnival

528
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.199
and make our way to Downtown Village. It don't take

529
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:26.360
us long to see all the differences between Strickfield nineteen

530
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:30.000
fifty five and present day. I'll kind of sum it

531
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.639
up like this, there's just the village itself. We call

532
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:39.519
it downtown Village today. There ain't no uptown Strickfield. In

533
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:43.519
other words, no Strickfield Town Center, Mall, or any of

534
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.840
the other plazas then I remember the university began construction

535
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:51.760
in nineteen fifty five. Dad mentioned that to Mom and

536
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.119
me a few times. Oh, and there ain't no mere

537
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:59.559
engated community either. We eventually make it to Pleasant Valley

538
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:02.280
Road and walk a little bit until we're stopping right

539
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:06.239
in front of the place itself. Is this really the

540
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:11.440
old Carnivosh estate, Ariel asks in amazement. I've walked past

541
00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:14.159
this place plenty of times and it doesn't look anything

542
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:19.079
like this. Horton pipes up. He's right back in our Strickfield.

543
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.519
This place looks like it ain't been kept up in years,

544
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.039
and people are scared to even be on this side

545
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:27.639
of the street. But I'm gonna go find Mona. I

546
00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:32.719
open the gate and walk through mouse. Ariel growls, Get

547
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:37.639
back here, Mona's here, I reply, I promise.

548
00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:43.159
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

549
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.119
The others follow me to the front doors. I ring

550
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:56.159
the bell and we wait. It ain't long before someone

551
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:59.480
opens the door. It's a young woman looking to be

552
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:03.480
around late Strickfield high years. You should have seen the

553
00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:06.599
look on her face when she's seeing all of us. Now,

554
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:10.159
you'd think she'd be asking what we want but she's

555
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.960
not saying nothing. I'm about to say something, but Bailey

556
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:22.360
gets bold. We're here for our friend friend. The girl stammers, oh,

557
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:26.960
does Bailey cop an attitude? Did I stutter? Then her

558
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:32.599
mouth opens wide. Mona, Ariel and me both come by. Bailey.

559
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:37.119
It is Mona, Ariel confirms. The girl turns to look

560
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:41.920
at Mona. Do you know these people? Mona gasps when

561
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:46.360
she's seeing us. You guys found me. She points to

562
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.840
us and tells the girl those are my friends. Let

563
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:53.599
them in. The girl steps aside and lets us come in.

564
00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:57.760
This place ain't looking like nothing out of no horror movies.

565
00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:59.960
But I'd be lying if I said it didn't have

566
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.440
a scary vibe to it. Anyway, Bailey and Ariel aren't

567
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.400
wasting any time. Given Mona a hard time for running

568
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.679
off like she did. It wasn't her fault. I summoned Mona.

569
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.320
The woman tells us, now we're all looking at her.

570
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:23.320
Funny you summoned her? Ariel asks, do tell the young

571
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:28.400
woman looks desperate in size. I'm Yvette Carnivosh. I don't

572
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.800
know how much you know about my family's a cursed history. Hey,

573
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:38.960
Yvette's my middle name. Mona says. Mona suddenly points at Yvette.

574
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:43.159
You said you summoned Mona. Are you saying you literally

575
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:48.719
reached out to the future for her? I did. Yvette answers,

576
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:51.639
Mona may be the only one who can help break

577
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:57.199
the family curse me. Mona gasps, how can I help

578
00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:01.400
you with that? I'm just a seventh grader. Yvette shakes

579
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:06.920
her head slowly. No, Mona, you are much more Currently.

580
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:10.679
You are the last of the Carnivoche family. Our great

581
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:17.119
family tree ends with you. Mona gulps. Now, no, no, no, no, no, no.

582
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:20.480
I can't be a Carnivoche. My name is Mona Abels.

583
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:26.320
Because your mother married your father, Yvette persists, she is

584
00:39:26.360 --> 00:39:29.440
a Carnivoche. I'm going to guess she never told you

585
00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:35.679
of your heritage, probably with good reason. Mona's looking scared. Now, no,

586
00:39:35.960 --> 00:39:39.320
I can't. I just can't be a Carnivoche. This ain't right.

587
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:44.199
I'm wanting some answers. What are you reaching out to

588
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:47.840
the future for? Because Mona is the only one who

589
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:52.679
can possibly break the curse. Yvette replies, our home has

590
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:56.159
been haunted by the spirit of Belden Carnivoche since he

591
00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:00.480
passed away on this night one year ago. It was

592
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:04.159
revealed seven days later on Halloween that someone in our

593
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:07.639
family had the will changed and robbed him of both

594
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:12.360
his fortune and his house. Carter raises his hand in

595
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.639
front of him. Wait a minute, If what you're saying

596
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:20.159
is true, then why are you still living here. It's

597
00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:24.440
not just me, kid, Yvette answers, there are three others

598
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.599
between you kids and me. I believe one of them

599
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:32.280
isn't who he or she claims to be. Yvette tells

600
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.039
us about how Belden Carnivosh made his fortune by starting

601
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:40.000
the Strickfield Carnival. It started off as a one week

602
00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:44.199
attraction in late September before the school year started. Like

603
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.840
Carter said earlier, it began during the Great Depression. When

604
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:50.599
the money started drying up in its last years, Belden

605
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.800
started keeping it open on weekends during the Halloween season.

606
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.360
Yvett mentions there were others in the family that were

607
00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:02.159
jealous of Belden's success, and fortunately Belden's health was failing him.

608
00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:05.199
Like she said, it was a year ago tonight in

609
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:09.880
nineteen fifty four that he passed away. Yvette says his

610
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:12.960
will left the carnival to his children along with the

611
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:17.119
fortune and the house. Or so it was believed one

612
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:20.599
Carnivoche was dabbling in dark magic and used it to

613
00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.440
change the will and steal it all. End of story,

614
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:28.119
right wrong. Belden himself came back as a ghost and

615
00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:31.480
started haunting this house. Now there are all kinds of

616
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:35.719
stories floating around present day Strickfield, many on the university's

617
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:39.760
website about this house. This may or may not be

618
00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:44.360
what ultimately cursed the family. Mind you anyway, Belden swore

619
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.760
he'd return this Halloween and claimed the entire family unless

620
00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:52.679
the one who stole everything comes forward. So far it

621
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:57.440
ain't happened yet. Now where does Mona fit in? Yvette

622
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:00.920
says she brought Mona to nineteen fifty five because Belden

623
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.119
would find the last descendant and wipe out the entire

624
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.719
family tree. Going back again, Mona is the last Carnivoche.

625
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:13.199
You're the only one I can turn to, Mona, Yvette finishes,

626
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.559
So I brought you from your future to this time.

627
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:20.840
Only a pure Carnivoche soul can end the curse, one

628
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:27.039
that hasn't been painted by evil. Suddenly the lights start flickering. Ah,

629
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:29.840
you'd have to have been here seeing what happens next

630
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:33.920
to believe it. Horton shrieks when this ghost suddenly appears

631
00:42:33.920 --> 00:42:38.079
above us and jumps right into Bailey's arms. Oh man,

632
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:40.119
oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh Man.

633
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:45.239
Horton groans, please not another ghost. I'm assuming this is

634
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:49.480
the ghost of Belden Carnivoche floating above us. I'm reaching

635
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.280
inside my pocket to pull out my compact and call

636
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.960
Mary Worth if he's trying anything. The ghost points down

637
00:42:56.039 --> 00:43:01.960
to Yvet. Your year is almost up, great granddaughter. You

638
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:04.960
have until the end of Halloween Knight to produce the

639
00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:10.400
one Carnivosh who wrongfully stole my fortune. Yvette falls to

640
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:14.960
her knees. I don't know. I've tried, but I can't

641
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.599
find anything to prove who wronged you. The ghost laughs.

642
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.800
You must be most desperate if you've used the family

643
00:43:23.920 --> 00:43:27.719
magics to bring our last descendant here to break the curse.

644
00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.960
Then he looks right at Mona. You have one week

645
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.559
to produce the one who took that which was not

646
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:39.039
rightfully theirs. If you fail, I shall claim the remainder

647
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:44.679
of the Carnivoche family as payment. That means you shall

648
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:51.400
never have been born Mona abels. Mona's really scared. Please,

649
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.679
I'm not a detective. I can't possibly find out who

650
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:59.920
stole your fortune. This isn't fair. Stealing from me, certainly

651
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:04.800
he wasn't fair, The ghost growls, not to me, nor

652
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.800
to the heirs I left it to. But I believe

653
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:12.000
Yvette has chosen well. You truly do not know the

654
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:15.480
history of your bloodline, Mona, which makes you a pure

655
00:44:15.639 --> 00:44:21.960
souled Carnivoche. Mona tightens her fists. Don't you understand I

656
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:27.440
can't do this? The ghost laughs a mean laugh. One

657
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:31.280
week is all you have, Mona. If I were you,

658
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:36.920
I would waste no more time then Belden. Carnivoche points

659
00:44:36.960 --> 00:44:41.280
to the front doors. They both burst open. Now he's

660
00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:45.639
laughing as he flies right through the doors and disappears.

661
00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:52.880
No no, Mona screams. Now. Bailey's looking at Horton with

662
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.079
wide eyes. He gives her an apologetic smile before she

663
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:01.119
sets him back on his feet. Take it easy, Mona.

664
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:06.320
Ariel tells her my family is gone, Ariel. Mona cries

665
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:10.119
that means I'll be gone too. I don't want to

666
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:13.719
never have known any of you. I step up. We

667
00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:16.920
ain't gonna let you do this alone, Mona. Mona grabs

668
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:20.039
my shoulders. That's easy for you to say, you wicked

669
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:24.079
little rodent. You're the smartest person here. I'm just some

670
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:29.000
stupid sea average junior high girl. She starts crying. Now

671
00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:34.639
I can't do this, Madeline. Wow. Never in the history

672
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:37.880
of ever has she called me by my real name.

673
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.039
I don't get mad or move like I said, Mona,

674
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:46.800
we ain't letting you do this alone. Never. Bailey tells

675
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:50.639
her bestie, I'm assuming all of you are staying. Then

676
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:55.199
Yvette asks you bet ya. I tell her we ain't

677
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:01.440
leaving Mona. Then Mona turns to Yvette. Can my friends

678
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:05.480
help me? Yvette smiles, You may use whatever you wish

679
00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:08.639
to help you along your way. That includes your friends.

680
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:12.360
Now she's looking at all of us. I'll show you

681
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.159
all to your rooms. Then I'll introduce you to the

682
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.280
rest of the family over dinner. Yvette takes us upstairs

683
00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:22.440
and divides us up, putting two of us to a bedroom.

684
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:26.679
I can't believe we're all in nineteen fifty five. Here.

685
00:46:26.840 --> 00:46:30.679
Everything's modern, but to us. Yvette knows we ain't got

686
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:33.880
clothes to change into, but she's got plenty of clothes

687
00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:36.519
here for us to wear. We change out of our

688
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:40.920
Halloween costumes and into nineteen fifties clothes. When we're finished,

689
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:43.960
we head back down to the dining room. Yvette's at

690
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.679
the head of the table. There's more carnivoches now, all

691
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:51.760
appearing younger than Yvette. The blonde girl on her right

692
00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:55.960
with pigtails is Betty, Yvette's cousin. She may be around

693
00:46:55.960 --> 00:46:58.639
the same age as Yvette if I didn't know better.

694
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.519
She's got a real look on her can't help noticing

695
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:05.960
that big red ruby she's wearing around her neck. The

696
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:09.880
boy next to her looks younger and is Yvette's younger brother, Albert.

697
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.639
He kind of looks snooty, like some of the Mirans

698
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:17.320
I see back in Ariel's gated community back home. The

699
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:20.960
other boy next to him is Simon, who's also a cousin.

700
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:24.480
The last one is a much older man who's the

701
00:47:24.519 --> 00:47:29.159
only servant left. His name is Stuart Jeeves. I almost

702
00:47:29.239 --> 00:47:32.639
laughed when I see the resemblance to Stuart Mirrn, Ariel's

703
00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.960
four year old cousin who's always getting into everything. Jeeves

704
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:41.000
even has a sneer, just like little Stuart Miran Yvette

705
00:47:41.039 --> 00:47:45.440
bowlds up a little. Anyway, one among us is not

706
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:49.079
whom they appear to be. You will all have supper

707
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:52.320
with us now. Perhaps you'll catch something that might help

708
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:58.159
you figure out who got our family cursed. Jeeves serves everybody.

709
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:01.239
We're trying to talk to every everyone here, but they

710
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:04.079
don't seem to want to talk to us. Betty gives

711
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.639
us real mean looks when we're trying to talk to her. Yeah,

712
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:11.039
they ain't gonna make this easy, that's for sure. I

713
00:48:11.159 --> 00:48:13.519
excuse myself from the table and go to talk to

714
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:17.559
Mary Worth. She tells me whoever's the battie is using

715
00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:21.519
a cloaking spell, which means Mary can't tell which of

716
00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:25.880
these carnivoches are using magic. She reminds me to summon

717
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.440
her if there's trouble. When I return to everybody, Mona

718
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:33.199
looks relieved. I get she's scared and doesn't want to

719
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:36.599
let me out of her sight. After we finished dinner

720
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:40.599
and Yvette excuses us, Mona catches up to me. Well,

721
00:48:40.679 --> 00:48:43.920
mouse ain't got much to go on, I tell her,

722
00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:47.079
As she's panicking, I raise my hand in front of me.

723
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.119
Calm down, Mona, if you was me what would you

724
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:57.440
be doing? What? Mona groans? I ain't you mouse? I

725
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:01.159
point to her, But what would you do? Ain't she

726
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:06.960
got suspects in mind? Mona sighs. They could all be suspects.

727
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:11.360
I narrow my eyes on her. But which one really

728
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:17.760
sticks out to you? Mona groans again? Our family's so dead.

729
00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:22.400
Then she says, I'm going to say the butler. I mean,

730
00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:26.800
doesn't the butler always do it in movies and classic stories?

731
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:31.320
Just that sneer alone. Then she hugs herself and shivers.

732
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:36.400
And maybe Betty, she's wearing a gem. Don't those usually

733
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:42.079
get used in magic rituals? Okay, let's investigate the butler first,

734
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.599
I say, then we'll work on Betty. Ariel appears and

735
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:49.960
puts her hand on my shoulder. Wait a minute, mouse,

736
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.199
why don't we split up and cover all of the

737
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:57.199
other family members. We all agree on that idea and

738
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.440
break up into teams of two. Insists on staying with me.

739
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.800
Carter and Ariel pair up. Bailey grabs Horton's wrist and

740
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:09.320
says he's with her. That leaves Chapman and Chunker as

741
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:13.000
the last team. From there, we split up and start

742
00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:20.880
searching this place Mona and me find Jeeves's bedroom and

743
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:23.719
sneak in. We had to wait and make sure he

744
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:27.239
wasn't in there. As soon as we go in, Mona shivers.

745
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.639
Don't he even turn on the heat in here? She complains,

746
00:50:32.239 --> 00:50:35.280
you could chill pop in here. Okay, mouse, what are

747
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:38.800
we looking for? Anything out of the ordinary? I say,

748
00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:43.159
things that don't belong. I quickly raise my finger and

749
00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:46.880
don't make a mess. Mona and me are searching through stuff.

750
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:50.719
So far we ain't find in nothing. Then Mona gasps

751
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.639
and looks at me. Someone's coming. Mouse. We quickly get

752
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:58.719
underneath the bed. Then the door opens and slams shut.

753
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:02.880
Looking at the shoe and pant legs, it's definitely Jeeves.

754
00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:06.840
All they ever do is order me around, he grumbles

755
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:10.360
in his gravelly voice. Jeeves do this, Jeeves do that.

756
00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:14.079
I'll show them all. As soon as Jeeves sits on

757
00:51:14.119 --> 00:51:17.159
the bed, some dust falls and gets in Mona's face.

758
00:51:17.800 --> 00:51:20.840
Oh no, I quickly raise my finger and stick it

759
00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:24.039
under her nose so she won't sneeze. When she looks

760
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:28.199
at me, I shake my head fast. Mona's trying real

761
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:31.000
hard not to sneeze. I keep my finger under her

762
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:34.239
nose until she nods at me. As I'm taking my

763
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.360
finger back, I gotta quickly stick it back under Mona's

764
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:41.159
nose to stop her sudden sneeze. After a little bit,

765
00:51:41.800 --> 00:51:46.760
I finally remove my finger again. Who's there, Jeeves yells,

766
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:50.519
I heard a noise. I know you're in here. Guess

767
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:55.119
helping Mona wasn't enough. Mona gulps. I quickly waved my

768
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:58.159
hand fast to tell her to be quiet. Ah man,

769
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.960
Jeeves is up and looking around. Now. Then I got

770
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:06.159
an idea and whisper in Mona's ear. She just looks

771
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:09.599
at me like she's praying. My idea works. I poke

772
00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:11.599
my head out from under the bed and start making

773
00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:15.000
mousy sounds. Then I pull back under the bed as

774
00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:18.519
Jeeves comes around and opens the closet. I heard you

775
00:52:18.599 --> 00:52:22.480
in there, he yells, you wicked little rodents. I'll get

776
00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:26.440
every last one of you, mark my words. Mona's covering

777
00:52:26.440 --> 00:52:29.360
her mouth and trying to keep from laughing. I stick

778
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:33.239
my head out again. We still can't escape. I make

779
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:37.480
more mousey sounds before rolling back under the bed. Oh man,

780
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.000
Mona's gonna blow her hiding place. I'm trying to get

781
00:52:41.079 --> 00:52:43.039
us out of here. But all I'm doing is making

782
00:52:43.159 --> 00:52:46.039
Mona laugh. I'm waving my hands trying to get her

783
00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:49.480
to be quiet. Now she's making her own squeaking noises.

784
00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.760
Suddenly Jeeves comes out of the closet. I could hear you.

785
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.800
I'll get every last one of you. Ain't no little

786
00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:58.960
mouse ever got the best of Stuart Jeeves.

787
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:00.519
Man.

788
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:05.360
Mona burst out, laughing, I gotta do something yesterday. I

789
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:08.159
quickly come up out of my hiding place and look up.

790
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:11.760
Now he's seeing me and pointing right at me. You

791
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:15.400
aw man, feet don't fail me?

792
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:22.840
Now, are you afraid? Good? Weekly spooky. We'll be right back.

793
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.719
Jeeves jumps on the bed, then leaps off to try

794
00:53:30.719 --> 00:53:33.639
and grab me. I dropped to my knees and scurry

795
00:53:33.679 --> 00:53:35.679
him between his legs to get out of the room.

796
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:41.119
You come back here, you little mouse. Yeah, he's chasing me.

797
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:45.559
Now now I know how Shaggy Rogers feels. I come

798
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:47.800
up to a door and go right in. I'm in

799
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:50.760
a room full of wardrobes that look like they're right

800
00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:53.960
out of Friday the thirteenth, the game. When Jeeves is

801
00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:57.480
almost on me, I gulp and quickly get into a wardrobe.

802
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:01.559
I got you now, you mouse, he growled. As soon

803
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:05.239
as he's opening the door, he's pushing stuff aside. What

804
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:07.840
I saw you go in here? Where are you, you

805
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:12.039
little varmint? Then I open another wardrobe across from him.

806
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:14.880
I'm ready to stink out when he suddenly turns and

807
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:20.039
sees me. Why you, he roars, I gasp and quickly

808
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:22.760
pull the door shut. Then he's opening up that door

809
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:26.039
and looking inside for me again. I know you gotta

810
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:30.440
be in here, he grumbles to himself. Where'd you get to? Now?

811
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:34.800
I'll find you, darn straight, I'll find you. Then I

812
00:54:34.880 --> 00:54:38.159
open the door of the wardrobe two doors down slowly.

813
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:41.519
When the door's squeak and he sees me, I quickly

814
00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:45.440
pull that door closed. I got you this time, he sneers.

815
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:48.719
When he's pulling open that door. I open the one

816
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:51.480
across from him. When he sees me, I quickly pull

817
00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:54.480
that one shut. When he opens it and don't find me,

818
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:57.159
I'm opening the one to the right and see him

819
00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:01.800
scratching his graying head. That's when I escape. I'd tell

820
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:04.719
you how I did all that, but a good mousician

821
00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:10.559
never reveals her secrets. Jeeves is chasing the Mouseie again.

822
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:13.159
When I reach the stairs, I'm climbing to the rail

823
00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:16.159
and and sliding down fast. I wave up at Jeeves,

824
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:19.559
see you, buddy. As I'm going down, I see Mona

825
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.000
waving and letting me know she just got out of

826
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.840
Jeeves's room. And then I hear a shriek. When I

827
00:55:25.880 --> 00:55:29.079
come flying off the railing and land on somebody, I

828
00:55:29.159 --> 00:55:33.239
look and see it's Ariel. Carter's looking down at us. Now,

829
00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:38.519
I hate you, mouse, she growls. Get off of me. Sorry,

830
00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:42.320
I squeak and get off her. Then I'm snickering a little.

831
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:46.960
What are you laughing at? She demands. Ariel wants to

832
00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:50.440
see this little mousey get scared so badly. If only

833
00:55:50.519 --> 00:55:53.199
she'd have been upstairs with me and Mona, she'd have

834
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:56.760
got a lot to hang on me again, she missed

835
00:55:56.760 --> 00:56:02.480
everything just then Mona's with us. You okay, mouse, listen,

836
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:05.639
I'm really sorry about laughing the way I did. You

837
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:09.199
were just so funny. Ariel gets up and puts her

838
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:12.599
hands on her hips. Really, we're supposed to be looking

839
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:15.079
for clues here and you two are off playing around.

840
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:19.880
I'm looking at Carter now, any luck, buddy, He shakes

841
00:56:19.920 --> 00:56:25.679
his head. Nope, zilch you same, I tell him, unless

842
00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:30.679
you found something, Mona, not me. Mona groans, it ain't

843
00:56:30.679 --> 00:56:34.280
long before the others come back. They struck dead ends too.

844
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:38.519
Mona's sighs. Either we're not looking hard enough, or that

845
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:42.159
someone we're trying to find covered up everything and good.

846
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:46.559
Ariel looks at Mona now and snaps her fingers. Hey,

847
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:50.480
we know what carnivosh did it right? You're a carnivoche.

848
00:56:50.880 --> 00:56:55.920
Use that to your advantage, girl, Mona smiles. Need I

849
00:56:56.000 --> 00:56:59.960
remind you, I'm a sea average student. Ariel glares at her.

850
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:05.079
So what you are a carnivoche? If you were going

851
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.599
to steal a fortune? How would you do it and

852
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:12.360
get away with it? Mona glares back. Yeah, well you're

853
00:57:12.440 --> 00:57:15.440
a mirror in don't you know the mirror ways? And

854
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:19.239
ain't your family mixed up in magic like mine? Ariel

855
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.840
snaps her fingers, Why, yes, I do know the mirror

856
00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:26.800
in ways. Then she points at Mona. But name one

857
00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:32.519
haunted house in Strickfield that belongs to my family. She's

858
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.280
got you there, Mona, I say. Mona points right at me.

859
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:40.599
You be quiet, you wicked little rodent. I shrug, Well

860
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:47.679
she does. Then Mona uses Ariel's words, I hate you mouse. Hey. Uh,

861
00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.039
nobody says they hate mouse but me, Ariel tells her,

862
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:55.679
So what do we do now? Chunker asks we got

863
00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:59.480
a full week to find something. Horton reminds us how

864
00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:07.239
hard can it be? The next day, Mona and I

865
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:11.320
decide to follow up her suspicions into Betty. We quietly

866
00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:14.079
sneak into her room after we manage to get away

867
00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:18.119
from Jeeves. After I close the door, we start looking around.

868
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:21.599
It ain't long before hands suddenly take firm hold of

869
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:25.960
my shoulders. Ugh. Then the hands slowly turned me around.

870
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:30.199
Now I'm looking up into the fiery eyes of Betty.

871
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:33.360
I groan and cover my eyes when the bright lights

872
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:37.480
come off that big red ruby she's wearing. I've been

873
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:43.679
expecting you, Betty says in a sinister tone. Me. Mona

874
00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:49.360
asks you you knew we'd be coming in here. Yvette

875
00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:52.880
said you could look around the entire house, Betty reminds her.

876
00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:57.159
Then she lets go of me. Naturally you'd suspect me.

877
00:58:58.039 --> 00:59:01.320
She holds up the gem by its chain. I'll bet

878
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:06.559
it was this, wasn't it. You're not wrong, Mona stammers,

879
00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:11.639
Then she walks to the makeup table. Is is this

880
00:59:11.760 --> 00:59:16.960
a spell book? Betty groans, it might as well be

881
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:20.519
a cook book. I've tried and tried to learn and

882
00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:25.679
understand Carnivoche magic, but I just don't have it. She sighs.

883
00:59:26.199 --> 00:59:29.719
I'm only a Carnivosh by adoption. I'm not a pure

884
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.719
blood like the rest of them. How do we know

885
00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:36.800
you're telling the truth? Mona asks, without a second thought.

886
00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:41.039
Betty opens a locked box and produces some documents, my

887
00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:44.320
adoption papers. My mother gave them to me when she

888
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:47.039
was still alive and decided to tell me the truth,

889
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:51.320
not that I didn't already know. Mona and me both

890
00:59:51.400 --> 00:59:55.199
look at him. We both agree they're legit. After Betty

891
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:58.119
puts the papers away, she removes the jewel and puts

892
00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:03.239
it around Mona's neck. Since you are a true blooded Carnivoche,

893
01:00:03.800 --> 01:00:07.239
perhaps the stone will serve you better than me, take it,

894
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:12.599
I insist. Mona looks at the gleaming ruby. Then Betty

895
01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:16.039
gives her the spell book too. I pray these will

896
01:00:16.039 --> 01:00:20.159
serve you well. Now go, Mona and me don't argue.

897
01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.639
We leave Betty's room and go back to ours to

898
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:29.920
talk some more strategy. Yeah, I'm thinking Horton definitely jinxed

899
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.440
us when he asked about how hard all this could be.

900
01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:35.719
We looked all over the carnivosh a state and didn't

901
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:38.039
find nothing that could tie one of the family members

902
01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:41.320
to the curse. Even I've been racking my brain trying

903
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:44.840
to come up with possibilities, we managed to search each

904
01:00:44.920 --> 01:00:47.519
in every room in this creepy house again and again.

905
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:51.280
To give Mona some credit, though she's actually been getting

906
01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:53.800
less afraid and coming up with some ideas of her own.

907
01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:57.960
We looked into him but came up with zilch. We

908
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:00.239
even had a few run arounds with Jeeves all the

909
01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:03.440
times he'd catch us in his room. Then he finally

910
01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:07.000
got mad. If you wanted to search my room, you

911
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:11.239
rotten kids should have just asked, he growled. If that

912
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:14.039
didn't make us feel bad enough, we're down to one

913
01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:19.199
more day now, Tomorrow is Halloween. Every night the ghost

914
01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:22.679
of Belden Carnivosh keeps coming and telling us our time

915
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:27.360
is running out. Before the ghost disappeared tonight. After making

916
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:30.760
his appearance, Mona pointed at him and yelled, We're gonna

917
01:01:30.800 --> 01:01:33.960
beat your curse. You just wait and see if we don't.

918
01:01:34.760 --> 01:01:38.000
When the ghost left, Mona tightened her fists and belted

919
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:42.039
out an aerial mirror like scream. But even us, being

920
01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:44.159
in this house all this time is getting to Mona.

921
01:01:44.599 --> 01:01:48.320
To all of us, I can't think of any other ideas,

922
01:01:48.679 --> 01:01:51.400
Mona says, when we're all sitting out back around a

923
01:01:51.400 --> 01:01:55.159
fire circle, my head's ready to split right down the middle.

924
01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:59.119
It's also been hard to sleep. Bailey turns to her.

925
01:01:59.519 --> 01:02:02.920
We ain't yet, girl, Come on, don't give up. We're

926
01:02:02.960 --> 01:02:06.280
still here with you. Mona glances at her best friend.

927
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:08.880
If it wasn't for all of you sticking with me,

928
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:13.840
I think I'd have given up already. She groans. Seriously,

929
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:17.320
you guys, what are we missing? I just feel there's

930
01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:22.440
something I don't know. It's just a feeling. Yeah, I

931
01:02:22.519 --> 01:02:26.119
get you, Mona, I say, I keep feeling that same feeling.

932
01:02:27.159 --> 01:02:29.719
It was your idea to look for secret passages mouse,

933
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:33.440
Mona says, we only found a few, and they didn't

934
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:35.559
lead to anything that will help us with this curse.

935
01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:39.159
Chunker in me even searched the family graveyard and didn't

936
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:43.000
find nothing. Chapman says, come to think of it, we

937
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:46.880
didn't even see Belden's grave out there. Suddenly Mona looks

938
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:50.760
right at him. What did you say? Chunker repeats what

939
01:02:50.840 --> 01:02:53.920
Chapman said. Then Mona gets up. I want to go

940
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:57.079
in there and see for myself. Us girls get up

941
01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:00.000
and go looking around the graveyard. We ain't got signs

942
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:02.960
on our smartphones, but we do have our flashes and

943
01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:05.840
use them to check out every grave. Good thing. This

944
01:03:05.920 --> 01:03:09.519
family burial ground ain't huge like village cemetery back in

945
01:03:09.599 --> 01:03:14.199
our time. Chapman and Chunk are right. Bailey agrees, you

946
01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:17.519
just know all the departed Carnivoge families buried here, right,

947
01:03:18.360 --> 01:03:20.960
I mean, unless there's a burial vault or a crypt

948
01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:24.239
we're not aware of, or something we have to know.

949
01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:28.519
Mona says, let's go talk to Yvette. We walk back

950
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:30.679
to the guys and let him know what's going down.

951
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:33.679
After Carter puts out the fire, we walk back in

952
01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:37.360
the house and look for Yvette. When we can't find her,

953
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:40.360
we try looking for Jeeves, but he ain't nowhere to

954
01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:43.519
be found neither. The only other member of the Carnivoche

955
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:48.800
family we do find is Albert. Now what Albert yells?

956
01:03:49.199 --> 01:03:52.559
Ain't you people causing enough problems? Around here. You ain't

957
01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:55.679
even learned anything about the curse. What do you want now?

958
01:03:56.719 --> 01:04:00.360
We're looking for Yvett. Mona tells him she ain't never

959
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:04.480
hear hardly. Albert quickly says, I don't know where she is.

960
01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:08.559
Maybe Belden finally got her. She's never around when you

961
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:12.920
need her. Then he shows us a paper. See this,

962
01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:16.280
this is the electric bill past do. With all the

963
01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:18.039
money to our name, you'd think we'd be able to

964
01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:20.840
pay our bills every month. This ain't the only one

965
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:24.480
past due. We've been trying to tell Levette, but it's

966
01:04:24.519 --> 01:04:28.400
like she ain't listening. Now we're all looking at each other.

967
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:31.480
Albert throws the bill on the floor and looks at Mona.

968
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:36.440
Welcome to our family, kid, what's left of it? Mona

969
01:04:36.599 --> 01:04:40.000
sighs as he storms off. Then she backs up against

970
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:42.840
the wall and slowly sinks to a sit in position.

971
01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:47.000
I give up. She throws her arms up. I can't

972
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:50.760
take it anymore. I just can't handle this. She holds

973
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:53.559
the gem in her hand. I don't want to be

974
01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:59.719
a Carnivosh again. We're all here for don't come apart

975
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:03.719
like that. Ariel tells her. Remember we have a new

976
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:06.760
lead to follow up on. Now we need to find

977
01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:11.440
Belden's actual grave. Mona puts her hands to her forehead

978
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:16.679
and groans, I just want this to be over, and

979
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:21.760
then she slumps onto her side and passes out. Mona.

980
01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:28.480
Bailey shrieks, Mona. No, then I see Mona's breathing. Let's

981
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:32.960
put her to bed. Bailey looks at me. Huh, you

982
01:05:33.079 --> 01:05:36.519
heard Mona, I say. None of us have been getting

983
01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:39.519
much sleep. No wonder we're all coming apart here. Don't

984
01:05:39.519 --> 01:05:44.159
you see Mona's exhausted. Ariel's been yawning her head off

985
01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:48.199
all day. Then she nods, I think Mouse is right.

986
01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:51.599
We all need to go lay down just for a

987
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:54.840
little while. We all agree to go to our rooms

988
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:58.159
and get some sleep. After we put Mona to bed,

989
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:02.840
we see her turning onto her and sleeping peacefully. Bailey

990
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:06.159
turns to me and throws her arms around me. I'm

991
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:11.800
sorry and thank you. She says. We're good, Bailey, I

992
01:06:11.840 --> 01:06:16.480
say back from there, the rest of us go to bed.

993
01:06:21.400 --> 01:06:25.000
Halloween is here now. We slept right through till morning.

994
01:06:25.920 --> 01:06:28.840
We eventually come down to see Yvette's got breakfast on

995
01:06:28.880 --> 01:06:32.599
the table for everybody. None of the other Carnivoches are

996
01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:37.480
here except Mona. Speaking of Mona, Bailey's happy. Mona's up

997
01:06:37.480 --> 01:06:41.440
and walking around. Truth be told, we're all feeling better

998
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:45.480
after getting some sleep. Mona. Don't waste no time. When

999
01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:49.599
Yvette sits down to eat with us? Where's Belden buried at?

1000
01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:53.559
We look through the graveyard out back and he ain't there. Boy,

1001
01:06:53.599 --> 01:06:56.760
you should have seen the look on Yvette's face. What

1002
01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:02.800
just what? Mona said? Chapman tells her Belden died last year, right,

1003
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:05.960
how come there ain't no grave out there for him?

1004
01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:09.599
Is there some other place where Carnivosh family members are buried?

1005
01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:15.480
Horton adds, like maybe a burial vault or something. Carter

1006
01:07:15.639 --> 01:07:23.199
further inquires. Yvette composes herself, No, no, there aren't. Every

1007
01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:26.360
deceased member of the Carnivoche family is buried out back.

1008
01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.400
She stands up. I think you might have missed the grave.

1009
01:07:30.880 --> 01:07:33.519
Come with me and I'll show you. We get up

1010
01:07:33.559 --> 01:07:36.599
and go out back with Yvette. Sure is Wendy out

1011
01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:41.039
here today? Anyway? Yvette has that same look of horror

1012
01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:44.840
on her face when there's just an empty plot. No,

1013
01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:49.000
this spot right here is where Belden's casket was buried.

1014
01:07:50.159 --> 01:07:54.519
Even the tombstone is gone. Maybe the coffin is still

1015
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:58.480
in there, Horton throws out. Now, Yvette looks right at him.

1016
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:04.400
I'm thinking she thinking something bad. Right now, I'll I'll

1017
01:08:04.400 --> 01:08:06.239
get on the phone and get someone over here to

1018
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:11.079
dig this up. You ain't got time, Mona tells her.

1019
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:17.600
Or did you forget? Today is Halloween? Yvette's panicking now.

1020
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:22.000
Then Chapman's right there. You got shovels. Give them to

1021
01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:26.159
us now. Yvette takes us to the shed. Carter turns

1022
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:29.600
off and heads into the garage. Horton pulls two shovels

1023
01:08:29.600 --> 01:08:33.399
out of the shed. Carter returns with two more. Chapman

1024
01:08:33.479 --> 01:08:37.560
and Chunker each take a shovel, then Carter holds onto one.

1025
01:08:37.640 --> 01:08:40.399
Before Horton can take the last one, Mona grabs it

1026
01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:43.960
and helps the guys. It don't take long for him

1027
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:48.399
to find Where is it? Yvette cries in terror, Where

1028
01:08:48.479 --> 01:08:51.840
is Belden's coffin? Why isn't it here? I was at

1029
01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:56.319
his funeral. I know he was buried right here. I

1030
01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.239
saw the people lower the coffin. I was here when

1031
01:08:59.239 --> 01:09:04.439
they buried him, right here. Well he ain't here now

1032
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:09.039
Chapman tells her, you saw what we dug here. You'd

1033
01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:12.199
never even think there was a coffin buried here, not

1034
01:09:12.319 --> 01:09:15.479
when it's all just dirt. Don't know what to tell you,

1035
01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:19.720
Yvette Carter adds, Yvette looks like she's gonna lose her mind.

1036
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:22.800
She's looking even worse than Mona when she was ready

1037
01:09:22.800 --> 01:09:27.319
to break Suddenly, Yvett turns to Mona. I brought you

1038
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:31.000
here from the future to help stop this curse. It's

1039
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:36.319
Halloween now, Halloween before midnight, Belden's ghost will return here

1040
01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:39.159
to claim all of us, even you.

1041
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:46.720
The only thing scarier than that is not being subscribed weekly.

1042
01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:48.520
Spooky will be right back.

1043
01:09:50.399 --> 01:09:53.920
Then. You'll be happy to know we're finally making headway, Yvett.

1044
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:58.439
Mona fires back, there's definitely a mystery here, after all.

1045
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:01.600
If it weren't for Chapman, and we'd probably still be

1046
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:04.760
between a rock and a hard place. If Belden's grave

1047
01:10:04.800 --> 01:10:08.880
ain't here, then it's got to be somewhere, right. Bailey

1048
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:12.279
turns to Mona. You know what to do? You know

1049
01:10:12.319 --> 01:10:16.640
where to go? Mona nods, Oh, yeah, We're going back

1050
01:10:16.640 --> 01:10:19.399
to the carnival, since this is where all of it

1051
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:22.720
started right. I think the carnival is where this curse

1052
01:10:22.800 --> 01:10:26.159
is going to come full circle. We'll head there when

1053
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:30.800
it's dark. What makes you think it's the carnival, Yvette demands,

1054
01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:36.640
The curse is here at this house. Mona's looking real confident. Now,

1055
01:10:37.319 --> 01:10:41.439
you'll see, I promise, that is, if you're willing to

1056
01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:44.279
come with us. All eight of us are looking at

1057
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:47.800
a Vet for an answer. All right, I'll go with you,

1058
01:10:48.239 --> 01:10:52.439
she agrees. Then she points right at Mona. But you'd

1059
01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:55.439
better be right about your lead, or we're both going

1060
01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:59.000
to be attending our own funerals tonight. And I assure

1061
01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:01.079
you neither of us will be buried in the family

1062
01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:06.239
cemetery here. Don't worry, Yvette, I got this, Mona assures her.

1063
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:08.920
I couldn't have done it without my friends here, but

1064
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:13.119
I got this, Yvet, don't look so sure as she

1065
01:11:13.279 --> 01:11:16.760
turns away and heads back to the house. From there,

1066
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.600
the dirt gets replaced in the grass. Reypacked. I don't

1067
01:11:20.640 --> 01:11:24.479
know about the others, but I couldn't help noticing how

1068
01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:28.600
we Vet keeps staring at the ruby around Mona's neck.

1069
01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:36.880
We're all at the main entrance at the strickfield carnival

1070
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:40.000
now looks like they went all out for Halloween night.

1071
01:11:40.520 --> 01:11:43.640
There's plenty of people in costumes and makeup moving around

1072
01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:47.199
the midway and scaring people who already got their tickets.

1073
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:52.800
What a surprise. Yvette's not here yet, Ariel mutters. Mona's

1074
01:11:52.840 --> 01:11:57.039
still showing her confidence. Don't worry, she'll show Remember this

1075
01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:00.479
is Halloween night. Ivette's going to want this curse broken,

1076
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:04.359
especially if she can avoid Belden making good on his promise.

1077
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:08.119
You sure you know what you're doing, Chapman asks her.

1078
01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:13.680
She glances his way. I got this, okay, We trust you,

1079
01:12:14.119 --> 01:12:18.279
he says. Suddenly we hear Horton crying out. We all

1080
01:12:18.319 --> 01:12:22.119
turn to see Bailey making ghostly noises behind him. But

1081
01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:25.720
Bailey's little prank backfires when Horton jumps right into her

1082
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:29.960
arms again, which gets the rest of us laughing. Bailey

1083
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:33.920
narrows her eyes on Horton. Now you do realize I'm

1084
01:12:33.920 --> 01:12:38.319
not Scooby Doo and you're not Shaggy right, get down.

1085
01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:42.000
When Horton's back on his feet again, he's smiling at

1086
01:12:42.000 --> 01:12:45.680
her apologetically. When it seems we've been waiting long enough,

1087
01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:50.039
we see Yvett carnivosh approach him. Looks like all of

1088
01:12:50.079 --> 01:12:54.079
you made it, she says, Now, how does being here

1089
01:12:54.119 --> 01:12:59.319
stop Belden's curse? Soon? Mona says, First, we're going to

1090
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:03.359
wait until the carnival closes, which shouldn't be too much longer. Now,

1091
01:13:03.399 --> 01:13:07.600
since it's a school night, I raise my finger. Good thinking, Mona.

1092
01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:10.279
I think a lot of us forget in our present day.

1093
01:13:10.560 --> 01:13:14.199
We ain't got school on Halloween or November. First, that

1094
01:13:14.399 --> 01:13:18.199
wasn't voted into Strickfield Village law until just recently. But

1095
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:20.960
here in nineteen fifty five, it's the same here as

1096
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:26.039
any other place. Kudos to you, Mona, Bailey adds. As

1097
01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:29.279
time goes on, the carnival starts thinning out more and more.

1098
01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:33.319
Soon the Strickfield Carnival is closed for the night and

1099
01:13:33.439 --> 01:13:36.439
the season. We're all staying out of sight so the

1100
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:41.359
Carnes don't find us interesting enough. The lights don't go out,

1101
01:13:42.319 --> 01:13:46.399
maybe they will sooner or later. Ivette's looking at her watch.

1102
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:51.119
It's after eleven now. She glares at Mona. Now, what

1103
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:54.239
is this thing you've learned that's going to end the curse?

1104
01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:59.760
Mona sighs and turns to face her Well, I don't

1105
01:13:59.760 --> 01:14:02.079
know if that's what I'm about to reveal will actually

1106
01:14:02.199 --> 01:14:05.520
end the curse, assuming there ever was one to begin with.

1107
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:10.600
Yvette shakes her head quickly. I don't get it. What

1108
01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:12.880
do you mean if there was a curse? You all

1109
01:14:12.920 --> 01:14:17.159
saw Beldin's ghost appear at the estate many times in

1110
01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:19.399
just under an hour. He's going to appear and make

1111
01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:21.479
good on his promise to claim the rest of us.

1112
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:25.520
I brought you here to Mona points right at her aha,

1113
01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:29.479
and that's where you gave yourself away, Yvett. Here, I

1114
01:14:29.680 --> 01:14:33.079
was losing sleep thinking about all this when you were

1115
01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:36.079
right there in front of us the entire time. You

1116
01:14:36.119 --> 01:14:39.000
gave yourself away by saying you pulled us into nineteen

1117
01:14:39.079 --> 01:14:41.640
fifty five from our future time to help you end

1118
01:14:41.680 --> 01:14:46.279
the curse. Mona points to the funhouse. Now, we came

1119
01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:50.560
to nineteen fifty five by going through that first, I

1120
01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:53.840
felt the pool to enter the abandoned Strickfield Carnival on

1121
01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:57.239
our Halloween night. You meant for me to come to

1122
01:14:57.319 --> 01:15:00.560
nineteen fifty five, but my friends came with me trying

1123
01:15:00.600 --> 01:15:03.479
to find me. You had to have used magic to

1124
01:15:03.520 --> 01:15:06.479
get me to come here, and wasn't magic used to

1125
01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:10.800
change Belden Carnivosh's will. None of the other carnivoch As

1126
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:14.439
you introduced us to showed any signs of using magic.

1127
01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:15.399
Only you.

1128
01:15:16.359 --> 01:15:20.920
So what was your real plan, Yvet? Huh? What was

1129
01:15:20.960 --> 01:15:23.439
your real reason for wanting to bring me to nineteen

1130
01:15:23.520 --> 01:15:26.760
fifty five? Am I really the last descendant of the

1131
01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:31.359
Carnivosh family or did you lie about that too? Truth

1132
01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:35.560
is this little mousey suspected Vet from the start too.

1133
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:40.079
I couldn't prove nothing but her saying she brought Mona

1134
01:15:40.119 --> 01:15:44.840
here sounded a little off now, Yvet chuckles. Then it

1135
01:15:44.920 --> 01:15:49.640
turns into laughing. Then she's really laughing it up. When

1136
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:53.079
she calms down, she's looking right at Mona. I brought

1137
01:15:53.119 --> 01:15:56.840
you here so you could accuse me. Mona folds her

1138
01:15:56.920 --> 01:15:59.800
arms in front of her. Was there really a funeral

1139
01:15:59.800 --> 01:16:03.760
for Belden or did you lie about that too? Now,

1140
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:08.640
Yvett gets serious. I was there. I saw everything, including

1141
01:16:08.680 --> 01:16:12.560
the coffin getting lowered into the ground, the grave was dug,

1142
01:16:12.840 --> 01:16:17.439
there was a funeral. Mona unfolds her arms and points

1143
01:16:17.439 --> 01:16:20.840
at her. But I'll bet you used magic to change

1144
01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:23.680
the will so that you'd get Belden's house and the fortune,

1145
01:16:23.920 --> 01:16:27.920
including this carnival here. I never said I was the

1146
01:16:27.960 --> 01:16:32.159
only Carnivosh who knew how to use magic. Yvette says,

1147
01:16:32.760 --> 01:16:36.119
you could use our family magics if you actually applied

1148
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:39.399
yourself more. I wasn't lying about you being the last

1149
01:16:39.399 --> 01:16:43.600
descendant of our family. You are a Carnivoche, make no

1150
01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:48.039
mistake about that. When Mona doesn't seem so sure anymore,

1151
01:16:48.039 --> 01:16:52.159
I step up. Everything Mona said was true, Yvette, Like

1152
01:16:52.239 --> 01:16:54.840
she said, we went over that house from top to bottom.

1153
01:16:55.000 --> 01:16:57.920
We even checked around in your room. Of course, you

1154
01:16:57.960 --> 01:17:01.760
weren't gonna make it obvious, right, I pointed Vett. But

1155
01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:05.920
you know what, Belden's gonna be here any second, so

1156
01:17:06.760 --> 01:17:11.079
we'll see if you're really innocent or not. Vette gets

1157
01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:14.640
mad and turns to Mona. You and your friends really

1158
01:17:14.720 --> 01:17:18.960
don't know our situation, do you. Belden will take us

1159
01:17:19.039 --> 01:17:23.319
all that includes you too, Mona. He may even take

1160
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:27.800
your friends. It's been really windy today kind of sets

1161
01:17:27.840 --> 01:17:30.840
the mood for what's about to happen. Even through the winds,

1162
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:36.119
we're still here in a ghastly, ghostly moan. Then many

1163
01:17:36.159 --> 01:17:38.960
of us are all gasping or shrieking when the glowing

1164
01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:43.720
ghost of Belden Carnivosh appears. He points right at Yvette.

1165
01:17:44.680 --> 01:17:47.960
You'd better have the one who caused this curse, or

1166
01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:52.159
you yourself shall be returning to the dark domain with me.

1167
01:17:53.359 --> 01:17:55.840
We would have expected Yvette to be scared out of

1168
01:17:55.840 --> 01:17:59.960
her wits, but she stands her ground. Then she's surprised,

1169
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:04.640
is all of us by laughing, not just laughing, long

1170
01:18:04.720 --> 01:18:08.880
and scornful laughing. Did you really think I wouldn't catch

1171
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:13.359
on to your big scheme, Belden, Yvette says, with absolutely

1172
01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:17.399
no fear whatsoever on her face. Suddenly she reaches out

1173
01:18:17.439 --> 01:18:21.920
and grabs the ghost. She don't just grab Belden's ghost,

1174
01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:27.880
She actually rips his face off, or actually his mask.

1175
01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:33.720
Now we see the true face of Belden Carnivosh. Yvette

1176
01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:38.119
laughs scornfully again, Hugh really had me going there, Belden.

1177
01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:41.600
It looks like bringing our last descendant from the future

1178
01:18:41.640 --> 01:18:45.600
paid dividends. After all, two of her friends went looking

1179
01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:49.600
around in the family cemetery behind the estate when they

1180
01:18:49.600 --> 01:18:52.239
didn't find your grave. All it took was a thorough

1181
01:18:52.279 --> 01:18:57.960
investigation for me to know you were still alive. She smiles,

1182
01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:04.439
an evil smile, because you never died, and then the

1183
01:19:04.479 --> 01:19:07.119
wind blows harder, kind of like when we were all

1184
01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:09.880
on the cry Baby Bridge on our Halloween night and

1185
01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:12.920
Abigail Tomlin was on her way to get all of us.

1186
01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:17.600
But I shall show you what true power is, Belden.

1187
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:22.399
Yvette cries with glee. She raises her arms high and

1188
01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:28.760
utters some strange words. Suddenly she transforms into something ride

1189
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:32.960
out a Scooby Doo in the Witch's Ghost. Belden points

1190
01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:36.880
at the final form of Yvette Carnivoche. I knew it

1191
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:40.399
was you all along. You just couldn't earn things by

1192
01:19:40.399 --> 01:19:43.840
your own blood and sweat. You had to take shortcuts,

1193
01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:49.680
You had to steal what was rightfully mine because I could.

1194
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:55.880
Yvette returns in a disembodied voice. All I had to

1195
01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:59.439
do was apply myself to the Carnivoche ways for me

1196
01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:05.079
to get what I truly desired in life. So, yes, Belden,

1197
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:11.000
you could say I did earn everything from my own blood.

1198
01:20:11.640 --> 01:20:15.880
She creates glowing spheres in her hands. And now I'm

1199
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:19.880
going to claim everything that I deserve when I'm through

1200
01:20:19.960 --> 01:20:25.960
with you, Mona Abels, then I and I alone shall

1201
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:32.159
be the last carnivage. We all quickly scatter when she's

1202
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:35.399
throwing those glowing spheres at us. I'm trying to dig

1203
01:20:35.439 --> 01:20:39.039
into my jacket for my compact, but Yvette's decided to

1204
01:20:39.079 --> 01:20:42.640
go on a little mousey hunt. You think I don't

1205
01:20:42.680 --> 01:20:48.199
know how you motivated, Mona Madeleine, Yvette yells, I think

1206
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:52.520
it's only fair that I play the exterminator to your mouse.

1207
01:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.359
As soon as I'm feeling a trash can right beside me,

1208
01:20:55.479 --> 01:20:58.680
this little mouse he's got an idea. I quickly climb

1209
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:02.319
into the can and duck down inside. You really think

1210
01:21:02.399 --> 01:21:09.039
you can hide from me inside that pathetic container? Foooo,

1211
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:12.800
But I'm rising up out of another trash can nearby.

1212
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:18.800
Then I get Yvette's attention. Cheep cheep, I utter fast.

1213
01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:22.359
Vette roars and throws one of her glowing spheres at

1214
01:21:22.359 --> 01:21:25.720
my trash can as I duck down inside. Then I

1215
01:21:25.760 --> 01:21:29.239
pop up out of another can behind her. Cheep jeep, cheep, cheep,

1216
01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:33.479
chep cheep cheep. I utter fast again, Why you little

1217
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:37.279
little she roars, I quickly get out of sight. I'm

1218
01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:40.600
just distracting Yvet so the others can get away. I

1219
01:21:40.640 --> 01:21:42.880
know I can't keep this trick up forever because I'm

1220
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:45.680
gonna run out of trash cans. I poke my head

1221
01:21:45.720 --> 01:21:47.920
out of another can as he vets, knocking over a

1222
01:21:47.960 --> 01:21:52.479
different one. Where are you, you, wicked little little cheep?

1223
01:21:52.560 --> 01:21:55.640
Keep jeepee cheep cheep cheep. I utter one more time

1224
01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:59.680
before I drop into my can. Yvette screams and destroys

1225
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:02.279
the can. I quickly come out of the one Yvet

1226
01:22:02.439 --> 01:22:05.560
just knocked over and start running. What's bad for this

1227
01:22:05.600 --> 01:22:08.520
little mouseie is that, even though people call me mouse,

1228
01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:12.319
I cannot run as fast as one. I cry out

1229
01:22:12.319 --> 01:22:15.119
as a glowing sphere almost hits me, but the force

1230
01:22:15.159 --> 01:22:18.359
is enough to make me nearly fall. Let's see you

1231
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:23.199
pull your disappearing act again, Madeline, Or better yet, how

1232
01:22:23.239 --> 01:22:28.520
about I make you disappear forever. I gotta keep running

1233
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:30.880
and get to the hall of mirrors. No way I

1234
01:22:30.920 --> 01:22:33.520
can call Mary Worth with just my compact when a

1235
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:35.479
vet won't give me the time to say her name

1236
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:39.439
three times in it? Aw Man, I ain't gonna make it.

1237
01:22:39.640 --> 01:22:42.159
If it's floating after me faster than I can run.

1238
01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:47.000
Then I'm seeing another trash can and quickly dive right

1239
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:49.840
in it. Glad it ain't all full of trash or

1240
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:54.039
this little mouse would have had it again. You play

1241
01:22:54.159 --> 01:22:59.640
your little games, rodent, Yvet groans. I hear a Vet

1242
01:22:59.680 --> 01:23:03.800
fire her powers again and destroy other trash cans. I'm

1243
01:23:03.840 --> 01:23:06.880
peeking out just a little and see she's coming back

1244
01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:09.720
for me. As soon as she's right on my can,

1245
01:23:10.039 --> 01:23:15.199
I quickly pop out. Jeep, jeep. Yvette screams in fright.

1246
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:19.000
Then I spring back and knock my can over. I

1247
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:22.560
get out and run to the Hall of mirrors. You

1248
01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:28.079
wicked little girl, Yvet roars. This time Vet does hit

1249
01:23:28.159 --> 01:23:30.640
my feet with her glowing sphere. Just as I'm at

1250
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.399
the entrance to the Hall of mirrors, I cry out

1251
01:23:33.399 --> 01:23:37.279
and fly away from the entrance. Ah man, I stand

1252
01:23:37.359 --> 01:23:39.439
up and see Yvettes right on top of me. Now

1253
01:23:40.600 --> 01:23:44.840
you put up a good fight, Madeline Donnerly, but now

1254
01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:49.079
it looks like you finally lost. I slowly stand up

1255
01:23:49.079 --> 01:23:54.039
and raise my finger. Just one thing, Yvette, before you

1256
01:23:54.119 --> 01:23:57.319
witch me in all? Can can I say just one thing?

1257
01:23:58.399 --> 01:24:01.640
When a Vet raises her eyebrows, I start jumping up

1258
01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:04.920
and down and uttering cheep, keep keep keep cheep, cheep cheep.

1259
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:09.199
Before a Vet can get mad again, Chapman and Chunker

1260
01:24:09.279 --> 01:24:11.560
come up behind her and give her a trash can

1261
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:14.199
of her own. I had to distract her so she

1262
01:24:14.199 --> 01:24:17.960
wouldn't see him. Now, Carter knocks her down and kicks

1263
01:24:17.960 --> 01:24:21.399
the can to send a Vet rolling. Come on, Madeline,

1264
01:24:21.720 --> 01:24:25.199
Carter yells, those guys gave me my shot. I gotta

1265
01:24:25.239 --> 01:24:27.239
make it count. I turn and run to the Hall

1266
01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:29.880
of Mirrors. As I make it to the entrance, y

1267
01:24:29.920 --> 01:24:33.600
Vet makes the trash can she's in explode. Now she's

1268
01:24:33.600 --> 01:24:37.760
floating in the air again. Where are you Madeleine Madelyn?

1269
01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:41.840
Where are you you miserable little mouse mouse? She sh

1270
01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:45.119
She's acting like I'm the one who dumped the trash

1271
01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:49.159
can on her. Well, I've been blamed for crazier things.

1272
01:24:49.760 --> 01:24:53.039
Just ask Ariel. Then he vets fire in her powers

1273
01:24:53.079 --> 01:24:56.920
at everybody else to make them scatter. Then she hits

1274
01:24:56.960 --> 01:25:01.560
Ariel right in the back, making her cry out. Ariel

1275
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:04.760
Carter screams as she falls.

1276
01:25:06.640 --> 01:25:10.600
You're not safe yet, weekly Spooky will be right back.

1277
01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:19.199
No more time to waste. I quickly run into the

1278
01:25:19.199 --> 01:25:21.920
Hall of Mirrors. I reached the mirror I talked to

1279
01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:25.720
Mary Worthen before, and quickly say her name three times.

1280
01:25:26.640 --> 01:25:31.520
Mary appears. Then she leaves the mirror and comes into me. Soon,

1281
01:25:31.560 --> 01:25:35.119
I'm gone and am replaced by my ghostly friend as

1282
01:25:35.119 --> 01:25:39.039
she uses me as her vessel. I'm just a passenger

1283
01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.920
in my own body. Now, time to leave everything in

1284
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:46.199
Mary's hands. She floats right through the walls until she's outside.

1285
01:25:46.840 --> 01:25:50.880
Looks like I summon Mary just in time. Carter's holding Ariel,

1286
01:25:51.319 --> 01:25:54.279
looks like she's coming around. Ivette has a bunch of

1287
01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:58.000
debris floating above the others. Our new friends quickly gathered

1288
01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:02.000
around Carter to help him with protecting. Mona's got her

1289
01:26:02.039 --> 01:26:05.199
fists tightened and her teeth clinched. I hope they catch

1290
01:26:05.239 --> 01:26:07.840
you and burn you at the steak, You ugly witch.

1291
01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:12.960
She's holding up the ruby Betty gave her. Yvette laughs, cruelly,

1292
01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:19.000
poor Mona, Hugh couldn't even get one spell to work

1293
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:23.840
in your failure. This is where you now cease to exist.

1294
01:26:24.439 --> 01:26:27.560
From there, the whole world shall come to fear the

1295
01:26:27.720 --> 01:26:33.079
name carnivoge not if I have anything to say about it,

1296
01:26:33.960 --> 01:26:37.560
Mary calls out. Now she floats to where Yvette can

1297
01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:41.000
see her. I sense the power of the white light

1298
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:45.399
within you, Yvet growls, pointing at Mary. No matter matter,

1299
01:26:45.520 --> 01:26:49.800
I shall conquer all that I see. Yvette laughs and

1300
01:26:49.880 --> 01:26:53.600
is letting the stuff above my friends fall. Mary utters

1301
01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:56.720
one of her spells to make it scatter. Just then,

1302
01:26:56.840 --> 01:27:01.399
Belden Carnivosh comes out of his hiding place. Mary Worth,

1303
01:27:02.319 --> 01:27:08.279
your name is legend, He points to Yvett. My great

1304
01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:12.960
granddaughter is quite treacherous. She not only stole everything that

1305
01:27:13.000 --> 01:27:16.880
I worked my entire life for, she also stole all

1306
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:20.800
of my powers. Why should I break my back to

1307
01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:24.680
get what I want? Yvet taunts, when I can just

1308
01:27:25.000 --> 01:27:29.000
take it now. I shall make sure you attend your

1309
01:27:29.039 --> 01:27:35.119
own funeral for real, real Belden. That shall never happen,

1310
01:27:35.680 --> 01:27:40.800
Mary promises. Mary uses one of her spells. I'm okay.

1311
01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:45.640
Ariel suddenly tells Carter, and now that I have healed you,

1312
01:27:45.760 --> 01:27:50.279
Ariel neron, all of you should get to safety. Mary says.

1313
01:27:51.119 --> 01:27:53.199
As soon as the others get Ariel on her feet,

1314
01:27:53.479 --> 01:27:56.560
they turn and get away from us. Now, Mary does

1315
01:27:56.640 --> 01:27:59.720
battle with Yvette. She tells me through our link that

1316
01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:03.520
eve Vets become quite powerful, but says she'll do everything

1317
01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:06.800
she can to stop her. Mary an Yvette battle with

1318
01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:09.840
their witch powers and throw everything they can at each other.

1319
01:28:10.680 --> 01:28:14.479
Mary's had such battles before and is always won. He

1320
01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:18.199
Vet's proving to be the greatest threat Mary's ever faced.

1321
01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:22.319
And here I thought Abigail Tomlin was powerful herself, but

1322
01:28:22.399 --> 01:28:25.720
Mary was able to beat her using her brains. In fact,

1323
01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:29.079
Mary's using her brains right now to tell me her plan,

1324
01:28:29.920 --> 01:28:36.560
and it sounds genius. Okay, let's do it, I say. Remember,

1325
01:28:37.319 --> 01:28:43.840
you are brave, Madeline. Do not be afraid now, I sigh, Okay,

1326
01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:48.279
you're right, Let's do this. Mary turns and floats back

1327
01:28:48.319 --> 01:28:52.399
into the hall of mirrors. You seek to run from me,

1328
01:28:53.039 --> 01:28:58.359
white witch, run like the coward you are. I shall

1329
01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:03.159
follow you and finish she once and for all. Then

1330
01:29:03.720 --> 01:29:09.640
your power shall become mine. As Mary returns to the

1331
01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:12.880
mirror to bring me back out. Now she appears in

1332
01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:17.960
the mirror beside me. Remember our plan, Madeleine, do not fear,

1333
01:29:18.640 --> 01:29:22.520
for I am here with you. We got this, Mary,

1334
01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:26.760
I say with confidence. I'd be lying if I said this,

1335
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:29.439
little mouse he ain't the least bit scared. But you

1336
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:32.399
know what, I was scared earlier when I faced down

1337
01:29:32.399 --> 01:29:35.640
Abigail Tomlin. I couldn't tell you how many times I

1338
01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:38.800
was scared. Since coming to know Mary, I was even

1339
01:29:38.880 --> 01:29:42.239
scared of her when I first met her. With all

1340
01:29:42.279 --> 01:29:45.439
the times I've been scared, ariel mirror has never once

1341
01:29:45.520 --> 01:29:50.039
seen me. I'm definitely scared now. As Yvette Carnivoche floats

1342
01:29:50.079 --> 01:29:54.800
through the hall of mirrors until she sees me, Oh,

1343
01:29:54.880 --> 01:29:58.720
I have to face down this wretched little mouse again,

1344
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:04.279
Yvet taunts, you really left your vessel to face me? Truly,

1345
01:30:04.359 --> 01:30:08.640
you are a coward Merry Worth. I'm pointing right at

1346
01:30:08.680 --> 01:30:12.520
a vet. You know what your problem is? You're too greedy.

1347
01:30:13.640 --> 01:30:18.680
You think I don't know that little one one? This

1348
01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:25.960
world is full of greed. I'm just claiming my fair share. Yeah, well,

1349
01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:30.520
I got my own powers too, I say, for instance,

1350
01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:34.119
I put my thumbs to my ears, stick out my tongue,

1351
01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:40.960
and go. Yvette tightens her jaw. Then she roars and

1352
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:44.279
throws a glowing sphere at me. Problem is she don't

1353
01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:48.159
hit me. She hits herself and flies back into a wall.

1354
01:30:49.159 --> 01:30:51.640
The fun part about being in a hall of mirrors

1355
01:30:52.119 --> 01:30:56.079
is the mirror maze. Aw Gee, did you miss me?

1356
01:30:56.479 --> 01:31:01.039
I squeak, want to try again? If that's mad? Now

1357
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:04.760
you have been a thorn in my side for the

1358
01:31:04.840 --> 01:31:08.920
last time. I turn and run away as Yvette screams

1359
01:31:09.079 --> 01:31:12.640
and shatters every mirror here. So much for my being

1360
01:31:12.720 --> 01:31:15.600
safe in the mirror maze. I run further into the

1361
01:31:15.600 --> 01:31:21.800
hall of mirrors. Yes, yes, Yvette hisses, run and high

1362
01:31:21.920 --> 01:31:25.800
when I find you, and I will it'll be you

1363
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:29.680
going into the jaws of the cat. But when Yvet

1364
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:33.239
sees little old me standing right there, she comes right

1365
01:31:33.279 --> 01:31:37.119
at me. Problem is she's way too eager to catch

1366
01:31:37.159 --> 01:31:40.039
this little mouseye As I Vette floats right by a

1367
01:31:40.079 --> 01:31:43.560
distorted mirror, Mary suddenly comes out of the mirror and

1368
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:46.399
slams Yvette up against the wall with a hideous version

1369
01:31:46.399 --> 01:31:52.359
of herself. Release me at once, Yvett yells, I'm ready

1370
01:31:52.399 --> 01:31:55.840
to open my compact for Mary. Then Mona suddenly comes

1371
01:31:55.880 --> 01:31:58.760
up next to me. She holds up her ruby again

1372
01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:04.479
and utters some strange words. Suddenly the gem comes to

1373
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:10.479
life and starts pulling power from a Vet. No, no, no,

1374
01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:18.119
Yvette roars, my powers are fading away. Stop this at once, you,

1375
01:32:18.960 --> 01:32:23.720
you wicked brat. But Yvet's powers keep going into Mona's

1376
01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:27.520
ruby until Yvett looks just the way she did when

1377
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:30.880
we first met her a week ago. With Vet's powers

1378
01:32:30.960 --> 01:32:34.840
now gone, Mary lets go of her and returns into

1379
01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:39.840
the mirror. Yvette points to the distorted mirror. You and

1380
01:32:39.880 --> 01:32:44.000
these brats use treachery to steal my powers, White Witch,

1381
01:32:45.279 --> 01:32:48.960
no more than the treachery that you yourself have used to

1382
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:54.399
usurp that which was not yours, Mary counters. Then she

1383
01:32:54.479 --> 01:32:57.960
looks at me and mona, thank you for your assistance,

1384
01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:02.840
both of you. If you are both quite brave. Yvette

1385
01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:06.640
shakes her head. You haven't beaten me yet. When I

1386
01:33:06.760 --> 01:33:09.439
gain my powers back, I'll come for all of you,

1387
01:33:09.920 --> 01:33:13.920
and I'll have my revenge. I'll be more powerful than ever.

1388
01:33:15.119 --> 01:33:19.439
I would not bet upon that, Mary says, and utters

1389
01:33:19.479 --> 01:33:23.600
another spell. Yvette groans and slumps into a sitting position.

1390
01:33:24.319 --> 01:33:29.079
Now she's making these weird noises and starts laughing. The

1391
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:35.479
spell shall wear off eventually, Mary explains. When it does,

1392
01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:40.560
she will not remember ever having dabbled in the mystic arts.

1393
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:45.159
Just then, Belden and the others find us. He looks

1394
01:33:45.159 --> 01:33:49.600
into the mirror. Is it done? Mary? Mary tells him

1395
01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:54.039
what she did and what'll happen After long story short,

1396
01:33:54.279 --> 01:33:57.840
Belden reclaimed control of his fortune and the Carnivosh estate.

1397
01:33:58.359 --> 01:34:01.960
As for Yvett, bel and the other Carnivoches would keep

1398
01:34:02.000 --> 01:34:05.119
her under guard and make sure she couldn't dabble in magic.

1399
01:34:05.920 --> 01:34:09.800
We can only hope right. As for Belden, you probably

1400
01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:13.279
might have guessed what happened. He faked his death and

1401
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:16.680
the curse in order to stop Yvett. He had the

1402
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:20.880
other family members helping him. You remember the other Carnivoches

1403
01:34:20.920 --> 01:34:23.960
that a Vett introduced us to. They were the ones

1404
01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:27.279
who buried in empty coffin. Then they dug it back

1405
01:34:27.359 --> 01:34:30.119
up later and made it as though there was never

1406
01:34:30.159 --> 01:34:35.520
a funeral to begin with. Pretty genius, huh. Anyway, Belden

1407
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:38.319
thanked all of us for help and save the Carnivoche estate.

1408
01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:42.279
He also thanked Mona for embracing her lineage and told

1409
01:34:42.319 --> 01:34:45.520
her not to doubt in herself being a Carnivoche. He

1410
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:49.319
also told her to apply herself more. You will be

1411
01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:54.439
capable of doing many great things. Mona Abels, He told her,

1412
01:34:55.439 --> 01:35:01.760
you may even help save the world. One day. When

1413
01:35:01.800 --> 01:35:04.359
Mary brought all of us back to our present day,

1414
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:07.119
the Strickfield Carnival was just as it was when we

1415
01:35:07.159 --> 01:35:10.880
first saw it. As it turned out, Belden wanted to

1416
01:35:10.920 --> 01:35:14.920
retire from running the carnival. None of the other carnivoches

1417
01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:17.640
wanted to take it over, and no one else wanted

1418
01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:21.680
to buy it, so it fell into ruin. Since we're

1419
01:35:21.680 --> 01:35:24.399
back in our time again, that means our phones are working.

1420
01:35:25.079 --> 01:35:28.720
I pull mine out and see the time didn't change. Wow,

1421
01:35:29.359 --> 01:35:33.880
Bailey gasps, seeing her own phone. It's like we never left,

1422
01:35:34.760 --> 01:35:37.640
but we still got these clothes from nineteen fifty five on.

1423
01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:42.079
Chunker says, you know, no one's ever going to believe

1424
01:35:42.159 --> 01:35:47.279
us about going back to nineteen fifty five. Mona tells us, oh, yeah,

1425
01:35:47.520 --> 01:35:51.279
almost forgot. Mona still has the ruby around her neck

1426
01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:55.199
and the spell book Betty gave her. It's probably better

1427
01:35:55.279 --> 01:36:00.800
that only we know, Mona. Ariel replies, they're probably right.

1428
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:06.159
Princess Carter agrees. From here, we leave the old abandoned

1429
01:36:06.199 --> 01:36:10.000
Carnival and walk back to Indian Hollow Road to reclaim

1430
01:36:10.039 --> 01:36:14.079
the bikes. Once we do, it's finally time to get Horton, Chapman,

1431
01:36:14.159 --> 01:36:17.600
and Chunker home. When we drop each one of them

1432
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:19.880
off at their houses, it makes the rest of us

1433
01:36:19.920 --> 01:36:24.199
feel emotional. I mean, their parents were overjoyed and in

1434
01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:27.520
tears at knowing their respective sons were back home. Again

1435
01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:31.600
after being missing for a whole year. With the exception

1436
01:36:31.680 --> 01:36:34.439
of Horton's mom, the others were quick to thank us

1437
01:36:34.439 --> 01:36:38.479
for finding and bringing their kids back again. They didn't

1438
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:41.359
ask where we'd found him or what happened. All the

1439
01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:44.199
parents were concerned about was having their son back again.

1440
01:36:45.640 --> 01:36:48.520
After Horton's mom saw him and pulled him into the house,

1441
01:36:48.920 --> 01:36:51.279
she shot us a mean look and slammed the door.

1442
01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:54.720
Having done our thing, the rest of us gather at

1443
01:36:54.720 --> 01:36:57.600
my house like we talked about doing earlier. In the evening.

1444
01:36:58.319 --> 01:37:02.479
Ariel kept her promise from early about ordering pizza from there.

1445
01:37:02.520 --> 01:37:05.439
We just hang out here eating pizza and watching horror

1446
01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:09.720
movies to keep our Halloween night celebration going since there'd

1447
01:37:09.720 --> 01:37:18.880
be no school the next morning. Boy did copies of

1448
01:37:18.880 --> 01:37:22.560
the Strickfield Journal sell up fast when it read that Richie,

1449
01:37:22.560 --> 01:37:26.640
Bill and Brian returned home. Definitely a Halloween to remember

1450
01:37:26.760 --> 01:37:32.560
for many reasons. When November two came, everything was kind

1451
01:37:32.560 --> 01:37:36.000
of sort of back to normal. Ariel, Bailey, and Mona

1452
01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:38.640
were back to picking on me, but our group ended

1453
01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:43.199
up being expanded by three. Yep, Horton, Chapman, and Chunker

1454
01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:47.760
became our new friends, which I don't really mind. Fortunately

1455
01:37:47.840 --> 01:37:50.239
for me, nobody saw me call Mary Worth at the

1456
01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:54.000
cry Baby Bridge or in the Hall of Mirrors. I

1457
01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:56.479
think at least someone would have gave me a hard

1458
01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.520
time about it if they did. So far, only cousin

1459
01:37:59.560 --> 01:38:04.279
Aileen and Bells still know my secret. Speaking of Mary Worth,

1460
01:38:04.960 --> 01:38:08.039
I still hear Ariel, Bailey and Mona talk about her.

1461
01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:11.880
Sounds like Mary's still giving him the creeps. At least

1462
01:38:11.880 --> 01:38:15.640
they ain't seeing her in their mirrors. Right When it

1463
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.279
came to Carter, he was mad at me for a

1464
01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:20.399
little bit for risking my life and go into the

1465
01:38:20.399 --> 01:38:24.039
cry Baby Bridge by myself. After a day of cooling off,

1466
01:38:24.079 --> 01:38:27.119
we were buddies again. I could tell he wanted to

1467
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:29.960
tell me never to risk my life the way I did.

1468
01:38:30.039 --> 01:38:34.640
Ever again he couldn't, though, not after freeing Horton, Chapman

1469
01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:38.960
and Chunker from Abigail Tomlin. Oh, and they end up

1470
01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:42.960
not humoring Ariel and call me Maddie, just like cousin

1471
01:38:43.000 --> 01:38:46.359
Aileen does. It don't take him long to start getting

1472
01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:49.319
under Ariel's skin when they won't acknowledge her as the

1473
01:38:49.399 --> 01:38:53.479
queen of Strickfield Junior High. So Carter's got friends there

1474
01:38:54.319 --> 01:38:56.800
As for school, it takes a little bit for everybody

1475
01:38:56.800 --> 01:38:59.680
to get used to seeing Horton, Chapman, and Chunker alive

1476
01:38:59.720 --> 01:39:02.960
and Wall well again, those guys are just glad to

1477
01:39:02.960 --> 01:39:07.159
be walking the halls of Strickfield Junior High again. Also,

1478
01:39:07.279 --> 01:39:11.159
we're all in seventh grade together. I can't help notice

1479
01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:14.840
how spooked Mona kind of looks at times. I ain't

1480
01:39:14.880 --> 01:39:17.680
seeing her wearing the big red ruby since Halloween night.

1481
01:39:18.399 --> 01:39:21.800
She don't even talk about being a carnivoge. She's acting

1482
01:39:21.920 --> 01:39:26.479
like everything's normal again. Only thing is she's actually applying

1483
01:39:26.479 --> 01:39:29.880
herself and her studies. More, this little Mousey's gonna make

1484
01:39:29.920 --> 01:39:32.600
it a point to quietly keep an eye on her.

1485
01:39:34.479 --> 01:39:38.239
Friday comes again. I'm sitting with Horton, Chapman, and Chunker

1486
01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:42.239
at lunch period. Then I hear the familiar hands slamming

1487
01:39:42.319 --> 01:39:47.239
on the table. Yes, I say, Ariel gives me her

1488
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:51.479
usual menacing look. Now, you wouldn't be thinking of skipping

1489
01:39:51.520 --> 01:39:55.760
the sleepover at my house tonight, would you, mouse? I

1490
01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:59.119
turned to face her. You mean your mom didn't massacre

1491
01:39:59.239 --> 01:40:03.359
you for running out on Halloween night? Ariel tightens her fists.

1492
01:40:03.960 --> 01:40:06.439
You really think I'd let mom do that? To me,

1493
01:40:07.520 --> 01:40:11.359
I hate you mouse. Then she sees the guys and

1494
01:40:11.439 --> 01:40:14.680
what are you looking at? Chapman just looks at her

1495
01:40:14.680 --> 01:40:19.359
and yawns, You guys hear anything. Horton looks at Ariel.

1496
01:40:20.119 --> 01:40:25.359
The sound of self importance chunk. Her grins sounds about right, Horton,

1497
01:40:26.119 --> 01:40:31.560
Oh does that make Ariel mad? Oh? You you? I

1498
01:40:31.680 --> 01:40:34.479
quickly stand up before Ariel can belt out another one

1499
01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:38.039
of her blood curdling screams. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there,

1500
01:40:38.439 --> 01:40:43.640
what time and same gatecode. I'd have expected Ariel to

1501
01:40:43.640 --> 01:40:46.359
give me a hard time, but she just looks at me.

1502
01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:49.439
Then she says, to where only I can hear her,

1503
01:40:50.319 --> 01:40:53.239
You're a good friend, Madeline. I just want to tell

1504
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:57.199
you that. Then she points right at me. You repeat

1505
01:40:57.239 --> 01:40:59.720
what I just said to anyone and I'll deny it.

1506
01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:05.800
Repeat what I utter exactly. Then she tells me seven

1507
01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:09.439
thirty and I texted you the new gate code. Then

1508
01:41:09.479 --> 01:41:12.840
she points to the guys and you three will learn

1509
01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:19.399
your places here at my school. Oh okay, Chapman tells

1510
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:23.199
her in a crazy tone. Then I quickly diffuse Ariel again,

1511
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:28.119
see you soon. I'll bring those scary movies tonight. Ariel

1512
01:41:28.159 --> 01:41:32.119
nods and leaves us alone. There really ain't much more

1513
01:41:32.159 --> 01:41:35.720
to tell. We survived Halloween and saved our new friends.

1514
01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:39.840
We also survived the experience with the abandoned Strickfield Carnival.

1515
01:41:40.479 --> 01:41:42.800
I guess this means you'll be seeing more of us again.

1516
01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:46.119
It may be a few of us, or maybe all

1517
01:41:46.159 --> 01:41:50.000
eight of us, who knows, but we'll have more adventures

1518
01:41:50.039 --> 01:41:59.520
coming soon. Until next time, Well, my spookees, I hope

1519
01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:02.640
you enjoy lloyd our road trip to Strickfield this week.

1520
01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:06.239
But don't you worry one little bit. We have several

1521
01:42:06.239 --> 01:42:10.640
more detours to come, so make sure you stick around.

1522
01:42:11.560 --> 01:42:14.960
In fact, we just might stop by Strickfield this Saturday

1523
01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:20.319
for some special Halloween hours. Thank you guys so much

1524
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:22.399
for checking out the show if you're brand new, and

1525
01:42:22.439 --> 01:42:25.359
thank you guys so much for sticking around for all

1526
01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:28.680
this time if you're not. I'm definitely having a lot

1527
01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:31.079
of fun this Halloween season. I actually went to a

1528
01:42:31.199 --> 01:42:34.039
haunt over the weekend, which was a big deal because

1529
01:42:34.039 --> 01:42:36.520
there's so much to do and so little time to

1530
01:42:36.560 --> 01:42:39.560
do it. But I checked out the Brimstone Haunt near

1531
01:42:39.640 --> 01:42:43.199
my hometown of Dayton, Ohio and had a wonderful time

1532
01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:47.560
the Haunted hay Rack was just Chef's kiss. I had

1533
01:42:47.760 --> 01:42:50.199
a blast and I'm hoping to check out another haunt

1534
01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:53.680
this coming weekend, but we'll have to see. Because thirty

1535
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.800
one shows in thirty one days. That's a lot of work.

1536
01:42:57.399 --> 01:43:00.560
But I am having a blast helping you all have

1537
01:43:00.680 --> 01:43:04.199
a better spooky season and having a pretty great one myself.

1538
01:43:04.520 --> 01:43:06.239
And I want to say an extra special thank you

1539
01:43:06.279 --> 01:43:09.319
