Cut to party scene, where everyone is in costume either dancing, eating, or talking. No matter what one is doing, everyone is having a good time.

Then, a doorbell rings. William, dressed formally in a tux, heads over to it and opens the door to greet to best buddies. One is dressed as a baseball player, the other as a fireman.

William: Welcome to the Halloween Haunt!

Nathan: What are you supposed to be?

William: I'm a butler.

Travis: What does a butler do?

William: I buttle.

Nathan: What?

William: I like to keep the kitchen and the dining room tidy.

Travis: -laughs- I see what you did there!

Nathan: Wait, what did he do there?

Travis: You've never see "Clue" have you?

Nathan: No...

William smiles and leads them into where the party is mostly taking place. Travis and Nathan talk a little more with William and someone else before wandering off to talk with some of the other party guests. Focus shifts to William as he stands by the stairs talking with Jay. Footsteps echo from downstairs and William takes notice.

William: What was that?

Jay: What was what?

William: I thought I heard something... -Looks over the railing- I'm going to go check it out.

Jay: Paranoid much?

William: -indignantly- No! I, -stammers- I mean, I don't want anyone playing a prank on me and end up freaking out my little sis in the process.

Jay: Suuurreee...

William: Be right back.

William heads down stairs to check on the strange noises but finds no one there except for a sleeping sister and a bored cousin. William shrugs and heads back up stairs.

Joel (VO): Then R2 D2 walks in!

R2D2 wobbles in.

Shannon (VO): No, he did not.

Poof! He's gone.

Joel (VO): C3P0?

Shannon (VO): No.

Joel (VO): :(
