We all poof back to the studio.

Julie - So did you have fun in there?

Laura - They didn't do much I stopped them

Luke - OK, you'd do the exact same if he stole all your songs.

Julie - But you have new songs. With me. The best way to get back at Trevor is for this band to do great. And to do great, we have to play at dances, then clubs.

Luke - And tours. I know.

Julie - I'll see you guys at the school. We go on at 9:00. Please don't be late. There's gonna be a lot of people there.

Alex - We got it, all right? Don't worry.

Julie walks back to the house

Reggie - I don't care what Julie says. I'm glad we scared Bobby. Wish we'd done more, like... like written "thief" on his forehead.

Luke - And, Alex, how did you shut the door? You could barely open a garage door.

Reggie - Learned that from Willie, didn't you?

Alex - Yeah. Well, he taught me some things and we screamed in a museum. It's a long story.

Luke - You think he has a few more tricks up his sleeve?

Alex - Let's find out.

We poof to a skate park.

Willie - Hey! What's up, man? You brought friends.

Alex - Yeah. These are my bandmates, uh Reggie and Luke and this is our dancer, Luke's girlfriend Laura

Reggie - Hey.

Willie - Cool. I'm Willie. So... you guys here to learn some "tricks?"

He turns the police bike sirens on.

Officer - Hey, what's going on? Look at that.

Reggie - Do it again! Do it again!

Luke - Actually, we were thinking a little bigger. An old bandmate stole from us. We wanna confront him face-to-face.

Willie - All right. Is this, uh, old friend of yours a lifer?

Alex - Oh, that's fancy ghost lingo for the living. Little something I picked up.

Reggie - Ah! Then, yeah! He's a lifer. Too much of a fancy-pants for street dogs.

Willie - Yeah, I'm sorry. Speaking to lifers is even out of my league... You know, but there is one ghost who might be able to help you guys. He's kind of a big deal.

Luke - Literally, anything would help.

Willie - Oh, all right. Well, um, I gotta go take care of some things, but I'll meet you where Alex and I met, 8 o'clock. See ya.

Laura - Can we trust him?

Alex - Yeah. He taught me how to ghost.

Laura - Okay...

We meet up with Willie and he takes us to this Mansion thing.

Willie - Right this way.

Luke - Whoa. So this is where your hotshot ghost lives, huh?

Alex - Yeah, we've walked past this hotel, like, a million times. How come we've never heard of it?

Willie - That's because this area has been sealed off for decades. I mean, you wouldn't even know this place exists unless you're invited... All right. I gotta go make sure everything's cool, but I'll be right back.

Reggie - Hollywood Ghost Club? This place is creepy.

Alex - Yeah, well, so are we.

Reggie - I don't know about this.

Alex - Well, if you get scared, you... you can always hide behind me. I'll be hiding behind Luke.

Laura - You guys need to grow up, OK?

Luke - We're gonna get back at Bobby. He needs to pay for what he did to us.

Reggie - Yeah.

Alex - I'm still gonna hide behind him.

Willie - We're all good.

Alex - Oh, uh, cool. Hey, just so you know, we have, like, an hour, because we got a gig with Julie.

Willie - Oh yeah. No worries. Cool. Let's go... Normally, I'd have my deck, and I'd backboard this heavy 20 set, but tonight... we have company. Hope you guys are ready for this... Whoo!
