"Get him!" Falconfyre yelled.
Rob turned, giving her an astounded look. "Get him? That's your plan?"
"Guys?" Blue pointed to the Grim Reaper who was bent in half laughing. "Why is he laughing?"
"No...." Tails, Adri and Falconfyre looked at one another in dawning realization. Scowling, the three advanced on the figure laughing hilariously. "JEREMY RAY!!"
"Got you!" Pulling off the Father Death mask, Jeremy Ray laughed at them. "You shoulda seen your faces!"
"You...," Tails growled.
"We have another problem." Babs gestured to the staircase and the object dancing there.

"I think it wants us to follow," Blue said.
"NEVER go up the stairs!" Jeremy Ray and Falconfyre said at the same time.
"Cardinal rule number one of horror flicks," Jeremy Ray said with a nod.
A yowling filled the house as a black cat appeared behind the Dread Pirate Group.

Above it, another visage appeared. "GET OUT!"

"AGHHHHHHHHHH!" The whole Dread Pirate Crew pounded up the stairs, past the broom, without a second thought.
