    Freya crosses her arms as she watches Carlos and his aunt.

    "For the last time, mijo. Ghost are not real."

    Reggie shakes his head. "Typical Adult. Do you remember when we were kids, and they never believed what we said?"

    "Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's just a 'you' thing. I was already pretty trustworthy." Alex replied making Freya laugh.

    "Shouldn't we be more worried about Julie? Her dad just busted her, ok? He's probably making her quit the band."

    "Well, there's not much we can do about that now, but...we can still help Carlos. Adults not believing children ends tonight. Showtime." Reggie turns off the light.

    "Yeah, I do. I've defended every kid who's never been believed. Some might say I'm a superhero. We should probably hide before Julie finds out, huh?" Reggie quickly gets up and runs away.

    Luke looks at Alex and Freya and they hurriedly get up and run out.
