ELLA WAS STANDING with the boys as they sang BTR's new song Stuck. They were holding an impromptu jam session in front of the fire pit at the Palm Woods pool as everybody clapped along to the beat with them.
"In the middle of a perfect day, I'm tripping over words to say 'cause I don't wanna keep you guessing, but I always end up getting stuck, stuck, but I'm never giving up, up..."
Their voices faltered, hearing a loud sound scrape against the floor. Ella turned around and widened her eyes, seeing a small table being magically dragged into the lobby, the doors shutting by itself.
Once it closed, everybody besides James, Ella, Kendall, and Logan started screaming in horror and running away to escape whatever just happened.
━━━━
"Carlos, it wasn't a ghost." Ella exclaimed as she and the boys walked into their apartment.
"Then what was it?" Carlos cried out.
Logan chimed in, trying to calm the boy down. "It was the air conditioner, which kicked on in the lobby, created a back draft, and caused the doors to shut."
"So how do you explain the ghost table?" James questioned.
"I will tell you that later." Logan said, at a loss for words.
"I'll tell you what it was." Carlos pointed out. "It was a ghost and it could be after us."
"There is no ghost that is after us." Kendall said, turning to him.
At this, loud knocks were heard at the door as Logan, James, and Carlos screamed and huddled together away from it.
"Guys, chill." Ella exasperated.
"There is nothing terrifying behind this door." Kendall scoffed, opening it.
Everyone nervously backed away, seeing their producer on the other side.
"Hey, my mansion is flooded, and I need to stay with you Dogs tonight." Gustavo stated, making the five teens scream.
Mrs. Knight came out of her room, confused with all of the noise, before she stopped, seeing Gustavo.
He re-explained his situation to the woman, who graciously led him to the couch.
Ella and the boys stared at him skeptically as Mrs. Knight brought over a cup of tea.
"Don't you think you'd be more comfortable in, like, a five-star hotel that's not here?" Kendall spoke bluntly.
"Yeah, I can't stay at any L.A. hotels." Gustavo admitted.
"Why not?" James shouted as Ella and the boys put their hands on his shoulders, trying to calm him down.
"Well, James, I am a member of the hotel unwelcome list along with Russell Crowe, all the members of Aerosmith, and the original host of Blue's Clues." Gustavo explained as he took the tea bag from his mug, throwing it on the coffee table. "The '90s were a wild time, kids."
