Narrator: Darkness falls across the land and the midnight hour is close at hand. Okay, this is not about Michael Jackson, but this is certainly a thriller. Now our story begins on Halloween day and all of the students of Pallet High were preparing for the night at hand. The school decided to throw a Halloween party for the night, mostly to keep students from dressing up in the daytime.
Miss Agatha: (Over the P.A.) Just a reminder to all of you students who decided to dress up during school hours, you will be suspended for three days and will not be permitted to attend tonight’s dance. Keep the costumes off until the dance! That is all!
Ash: Wonder why they’re so strict on this!
Misty: I suppose it’s because the administration is afraid someone might dress in a costume that is rather inappropriate.
Sakura: Or it’s just because the costumes could distract others from their work throughout the entire day.
Marisa: (Groaning) I’m all for obeying the rules and all of that crap. But not being able to dress up for Halloween is just pissing me off!
Ash: Hey relax! It’s only during the school hours! (A little later in Miss Prima's class)
Miss Prima: Class, I'm going to step outside for a second. You keep working on your packets and try not to make so much noise. (She leaves the room)
Marisa: (Yawns) Man, this day is taking forever. (Looks out the window) Huh? (Thinking) What in the hell was that? (Turns around) No one else seems to notice?
Tracey: Marisa? What's wrong?
Marisa: I must have been imagining things. (Takes off glasses) Oh man.
Tracey: Marisa?
Marisa: Huh? Oh...it's nothing. (Miss Prima walks back inside) I'll tell you after class. (A little later outside the classroom)
Tracey: So what was it that you saw?
Marisa: I saw someone who looked like a ghost. (Misty shudders) Come on Mist, it's not a ghost. But it was someone out of the ordinary. Right in class it passed by the window. Not only that this person stopped looked at me and smiled and continued walking. I got a very eerie feeling after it left.
Misty: Was it a new person?
Tracey: Or maybe you were just imagining things?
Marisa: I don’t know! And I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining this one. I’m sure of what I saw. She had long white hair and had on a white dress.
Tracey: Someone in costume?
Marisa: No. You heard Miss Agatha, anyone caught wearing a costume around school in the daytime is in trouble. So far today nobody's had the courage to test her on that.
Misty: Or possibly one of the gay guys in theatre?
Tucker: Impossible! I was in the theatre all morning and no one borrowed any costumes from the costume room.
Marisa: Tucker, it’s you!
Tucker: I overheard you three talking and I think I know who you saw. Or, I think it’s better to say what? The legend lives on I see.
Misty: What legend?
Tucker: If you want to learn more, come down to the theatre during lunch and we shall fill you in on this whole story. (At lunch in the theatre)
Tracey: Wonder what Tucker meant by the legend?
Marisa: Guess, we’re about to find out.
Misty: I hope it has nothing to do with… (Gulps) Ghosts!
Marisa: There are no such things as ghosts! Tucker is a big drama queen and he’s probably looking for a good crowd to tell his tall tale to.
Harley: You might be right. I hope that’s not the reason Solidad dragged us here!
Erika: Yeah, I’m not one for believing in such crap like ghost stories! Where is that pink haired weirdo anyways? (Tucker, Solidad, and Robert walk out)
Tucker: Excellent, you guys came.
Misty: What’s this all about?
Tucker: I brought you all here to tell you the ghost story. (All groan)
Harley: I don’t know why you guys want to par take into such a silly superstition tale. We all know that there are only two ghosts that haunt the school and they are the theatre ghost and Miss Agatha.
Solidad: Yes, yes, we are all well aware of our beloved theatre ghost and that tyrant Miss Agatha. But this is a different story that took place ten years ago today. Robert, would you do the honors?
Robert: (Clears throat) The death of Kari Rockwell is a story that has been told every Halloween. It was ten years to the day when she died. All through her high school days, she was tormented and teased every day. I know you’re all thinking that this is how all ghost stories are started! But the good part is just coming up! As she was walking home on Halloween night, she was hit by the car. And the one inside the car was our very own Miss Agatha. The courts let Miss Agatha go free since Kari was indeed J walking in the dark. But it is said that every Halloween night, Kari comes back to Pallet High to haunt the living. So you all watch your backs tonight at the party.
Harley: Are you kidding me? What a bunch of bologna!
Solidad: Believe me when I say that this is no joke. Some of us upperclassmen have seen her lurking around on Halloween night.
Tucker: And now Marisa claims to have seen some girl dressed in all white.
Marisa: Now hold on, I never said that it was a ghost girl. It’s just that I’ve never seen her around school before, but she did look like our age.
Tracey: Could it be a new girl?
Marisa: No, Principal Oak didn’t tell me anything and usually I would know ahead of time.
Misty: Then there really is a ghost girl! (That night in front of the school)
Marisa: Nice costume Misty. For a second there, I thought you were Nurse Joy’s slutty daughter!
Misty: Very funny! You know, you really aren’t going to convince anybody that you have a decent side if you go around prancing about in a devil’s costume!
Marisa: You think I should have gone as the Grim Reaper? Hey, but I am a sexy devil and you have to give me that.
Misty: True enough. Oh by the way, I brought this.
Marisa: Pepper spray? Oh Misty, it’s a ghost. I don’t think that pepper spray will do any good. (Marcus roars)
Misty: (Screams) BACK AWAY GHOST! (Marcus screams) Oh my God, Marcus! Are you okay? I’m so sorry I did that to you. I thought you were this ghost girl and I thought she was…I don’t even know what she was going to do!
Marcus: Oh don’t worry about it Misty. Honestly, I would have expected a pepper spray attack from Marisa, but you caught me by surprise. (Ash and Brock walk up)
Misty: Hi boys!
Marcus: Who’s there? I can't see.
Marisa: It’s Ash and Brock!
Ash: What happened to him?
Marisa: Eh, it was an incident with pepper spray that I had nothing to do with this time.
Brock: And we’re supposed to believe the girl in the devil costume?
Misty: Told you! (Marisa growls) Nice skeleton costume Ash! And Brock, what are you supposed to be?!
Brock: Well, I decided to go back to my original plan from the freshmen year Homecoming dance and wear a mask. So this year, I am the Phantom of the Opera.
Marisa: You sadden me! (Winona and Wallace walk up)
Winona: Hi guys, nice costumes.
Misty: Oh, you and Wallace look cute together as prince and princess.
Wallace: (Blushes) Well thank you!
Winona: Oh God Brock, why are you covering your face again? If it didn’t work at last year’s Homecoming, why would you want to do that again?
Brock: Can’t hurt to try again. (Tracey walks up)
Tracey: Hey guys.
Marisa: Tracey! Nice pirate costume.
Tracey: Thanks. Are you guys going to take Robert’s story to heart tonight?
Winona: Robert’s story? You mean you guys were told the story of Kari Rockwell, the ghost who haunts the school?
Marcus: Oh, so that’s why I was pepper sprayed.
Brock: Who is Kari Rockwell?
Winona: It’s just an urban legend at our school about this one girl who was hit by a car. It was ten years ago…
Marisa: WE ALREADY HEARD THE DAMN STORY! Look, I say it’s just some made-up, silly superstition used to scare underclassmen!
Misty: Where’s all this coming from? You seemed just as scared and concerned when we heard the story at lunch.
Harley: I agree with Marisa on this one. There’s no Kari Rockwell ghost!
Marisa: That’s right, thank you Harl…Oh...My...God! (Looks at Harley) Well Harley, don’t you look, um…What’s the word I’m looking for?
Brock: Scary?
Harley: Me, scary? Oh come on, I’m dressed as Maria from West Side Story. (Singing) I feel pretty, oh so pretty. I feel pretty, and witty, and…
All: Gay!
Ash: I don’t believe in ghosts, but I do believe that he will give me nightmares tonight.
Narrator: Everybody entered the gym to start dancing. So far, so good! No problems and no ghost sightings! (Harley screams) Well, it was good for the first minute or so!
Harley: I cannot believe this!
Tucker: What?
Harley: You copycat! You copied my costume from the dress to the shoes to the cute little bow in the hair!
Tucker: For your information, I’ve had this costume planned for the last year, so I do believe you are the one who is copying me.
Harley: As if! You could never pull of the Maria look! Ugh! Now how could this night get any worse? (Jessie walks up)
Jessie: Hey! What the hell are you two doing in my dress?
Harley: Oh, you have got to be freakin’ kidding me!
Misty: Hmm…Where are you ghostie?
Ash: Who are you talking about?
Misty: Huh? Oh nothing! Hey wait a second! Where's Brock?
Ash: Trying to sneak a dance with some poor, naïve girl! (Nearby)
Brock: Would you like to dance with me?
Erika: Get away from me! (Throws drink in his face) Pervert!
Brock: Would you like to dance with me?
Marina: PERVERT!!! (She slaps him and he falls down)
Brock: I have a name you know! (Whitney gasps)
Whitney: Oh my God! Are you okay Brock? (She helps him up)
Brock: I’ll live! Well howdy, Whitney! You sure look rootin-tootin good in your cowgirl costume!
Whitney: Thank you Brock!
Brock: You sure would make me the happiest guy in the world if you would dance with me. So what do you say?
Whitney: Oh, there’s my boyfriend!
Brock: BOYFRIEND?! (Nearby)
Tracey: I can’t help but feel sorry for Brock.
Marcus: Don’t worry! That feeling is only temporary and then it just becomes repetitive, annoying, but entertaining at the same time.
Tracey: Huh? (Looks out the window)
Marisa: What’s the matter Tracey? (Marcus screams) What’s wrong with you now?
Marcus: G-G-G-G-GHOST! THAT WAS A GHOST!!!
Marisa: Get a hold of yourself! (She slaps him) There’s no such thing as ghosts. That was probably someone in costume. This is Halloween!
Marcus: But she was glowing! Who the hell glows?! It's gotta be the ghost!
Tracey: I’m wondering if Robert’s tale could be true. If it was really Kari Rockwell that we saw!
Marisa: Jesus Christ!
Brock: Come on baby! Dump the zero and get with the hero!
Grace: Don’t touch me! (She punches him)
Sakura: Not again! (She drags Brock off the dance floor) Let’s go before you get trampled to death.
Brock: (Dazed) Dorothy, what are you doing here in Pallet High? Aren’t you supposed to be in Kansas with your Uncle Henry and Aunt Em?
Sakura: It’s just a costume Brock! (Outside)
Misty: What am I getting all worked up about? It’s just a figment of my imagination. It’s probably nothing! There are probably no such things as ghosts or anything like that. But, it is too quiet around and that makes me nervous. Hmm…
Drew: Hi Misty!
Misty: BACK AWAY GHOST! (She sprays Drew with the pepper spray) Oh no, not again!
Drew: Damn it! What the fuck is wrong with you?
Misty: I’m so sorry Drew! You scared me, that’s all!
Drew: That’s still no reason to use pepper spray on me, I’m not a pervert like Brock!
Misty: Well it doesn’t help that you’re dressed up like a biker! It looked like you were about to abduct me.
Drew: Alright, you’ve made your point! I guess it’s a good thing that I’m wearing these sunglasses, otherwise that attack could have been a lot worse. What are you doing spraying people with that?
Misty: I guess I’m just a little bit on the edge. I just heard this ghost story and it scared the crap out of me.
Drew: You mean the ghost of Kari Rockwell?
Misty: You’ve heard about the tale?
Drew: I heard the story last year. Sounds pretty stupid if you ask me! (Misty whimpers) I can’t believe you got caught up in that! Only pathetic babies believe in such superstitious crap like that. Hey, what’s the matter with you? Why are you freaking out like that?
Misty: Turn around Drew! Turn around! There’s a ghost right behind you!
Drew: Come on Misty. (She screams) Huh? (Turns around and screams) No, this can't be happening! But who the hell glows like that? (The ghost comes closer) S-s-stay back. (The ghost smiles and goes in another direction) W-w-what was that? (Misty faints) Misty! (Back inside the gym)
James: Hey Jess! (Smacks her on the butt) Come on, this party is getting boring. Let’s get out of here!
Harley: Ooh, you’ve got a nice grip, sugar!
James: YOU’RE NOT JESSIE!
Harley: No, but I can be!
Jessie: Hey pal! Get your queer hands off of my boyfriend!
Harley: Don’t get jealous hon! Just because I can pull off this look without my butt sagging to the ground like some people!
Jessie: You jerk! At least I’m a girl!
Harley: Gender has nothing to do with it doll face! (Jessie growls)
James: Eh, come on Jessie before you really get angry! (Jessie and James leave)
Harley: Score one for Harley! (Tucker giggles) And just what the hell are you laughing about? Are you looking for another fight?
Tucker: Not in the least! Not after the way you took on Jessie!
Harley: Oh that! I’m sorry, I had to say it! She does not look good in that dress! I mean, come on, we were all thinking that.
Tucker: …I’m sorry for before. I know you weren’t trying to copy me. I know you must have put a lot of thought into your costume.
Harley: (Blushes) I thought I was being original and completely random. Listen Tucker, I’m sorry for what I said earlier.
Tucker: Think nothing of it! What I’m curious is how you are able to get your hair to be so curly and bouncy!
Harley: Why don’t we go outside and I’ll tell you. (They walk outside)
Marisa: See Marcus, I knew they would get along sooner than later.
Marcus: I guess you’re right! The last thing in the world we need is another rivalry in theatre. I mean just look at them right…GOOD LORD!
Tracey: Are they making out?
Marisa: Sure looks like it.
Marcus: I think I’m going to lose my lunch! (Camera flashes)
Todd: This should gross them out on the internet!
Marisa: Nice rat costume Todd!
Todd: Thanks, but somehow I picture you in this costume! (Marisa hits him)
Marisa: And if you want to keep your teeth so you can eat some cheese, I suggest you shut the hell up! (Todd leaves)
Marcus: Eh, let’s change the subject! Ugh, hey, where’s Misty?
Marisa: Oh yeah, I don’t like her being on her own with that pepper spray at hand.
Marcus: Yeah, I don’t like her out there with a ghost on the loose!
Marisa: THERE’S NO SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS!
Tracey: Well in any case, let’s go outside and try to find her.
Marisa: Right! (Outside)
Drew: Oh come on Misty, wake up.
Marisa: There she is! (Sees Misty) What the hell did you do to her?
Drew: I didn’t do anything! One second we were talking and the next, Misty’s screaming about some ghost. And then, there’s this lady in all white who came up to us.
Marcus: IT’S THE GHOST! (Misty groans) Misty, are you okay? (Misty slaps Marcus)
Misty: GET AWAY EVIL SPIRIT! Huh? Oh Marcus, I’m so sorry I hurt you again.
Marcus: No problem. Again, I would expect this kind of abuse from Marisa.
Marisa: There are no such things as ghosts. It’s just your overactive imagination getting the best of you.
Drew: Actually Marisa, she’s right. I saw the ghost too.
Tracey: So the story is really true then?
Marisa: It’s not true! It just doesn’t add up! It's gotta be someone in costume. (The lights go off and banging sounds are heard)
Marcus: IT’S A SIGN! WE HAVE ANGERED THE GHOST!
Marisa: Knock it off you idiot! The light bulb for the post must have gone out and someone must have tripped in the dark.
Marcus: Let's get the hell out of here while we can!
Tracey: What’s that glowing I see up ahead? (The ghost comes forward)
All: IT’S THE GHOST!
Marcus: Please Mrs. Ghost, don’t harm me. I’m too young to die. (The ghost reaches for them)
Misty: This is truly the end. Goodbye you guys, it’s been nice to know you all. (They all scream)
Ghost: Gotcha!
All: Huh? (The ghost pulls off her wig) Solidad?
Misty: What’s the idea trying to scare us?
Solidad: Sorry you guys, I couldn’t resist doing this to you all. Hate to disappoint you all but I was the one scaring you guys all day long.
Marcus: So...no ghost girl?
Tracey: But is the story about Kari Rockwell really true?
Miss Agatha: What’s going on here?
All: Miss Agatha!
Marcus: Alright Miss Agatha, fess up. Is there really an urban legend about the dead girl?
Misty: You know, Kari Rockwell? That you really killed her?
Miss Agatha: Kari Rockwell? God, not this story again! Time for you all to know the truth! I didn’t kill her. In fact, she isn’t even dead. It was about ten years ago, and on my way home, I ran over a dog. When I got out of my car, I saw Kari running to pick up the dog and learned that it was hers. The next day, she and her family moved to a new city. There, now you all are straight on the whole situation. (She walks away) I swear to God, that story never wants to die!
Marisa: Well you heard Miss Agatha, there was no ghost. It was just your imagination getting the best of all of you.
Marcus: Yeah, but when Solidad came in with the costume, you hit some pretty high notes that only Mariah Carey could hit. (Marisa smacks Marcus)
Marisa: Like I said, there are no such things as ghosts.
Solidad: Yeah, we all learn the real story of Kari Rockwell sooner or later. But when we were underclassmen, we were told the very same story. As I say, we should keep some traditions alive. And now that you all know this, you can scare the underclassmen next Halloween.
Misty: So I guess that you were the ghost tonight.
Marisa: Then, who was that girl I saw who passed by my classroom this morning?
Solidad: Oh, I snuck around the halls during first period. But I’m so glad that everything went according to plan and I didn’t get caught by a teacher. I had Robert do my make up and then I had Tucker turn off the lights and make all of the noises. (Banging noise) Oh God! (Yells) Tucker, the plan is over. You can stop making noises now. (They run to the back of the gym)
All: Ew! (Tucker and Harley make out on top of trash cans)
Tucker: Do you all mind?
Harley: Less talky, more kissy! (Back inside the gym)
Ash: Okay, I think he’s starting to wake up.
Brock: Oh Ash, I had such a wonderful dream. I was dancing with all these beautiful women. And you were there! And you were there! Wait, I’m still at the dance. That means that it wasn’t a dream and that I really danced with a bunch of pretty women.
Sakura: Should we tell him?
Brock: Tell me what? OH GOD! IT WAS ONLY A DREAM! I didn’t get to dance with a single girl!
Sakura: Not a one. (He groans)
Ash: Don’t worry Brock, there’s always the next dance.
