The group attempts to wake the girls, but it takes longer than they expected. A black ghost-like figure floats by, unbeknownst to any of them. The next scene shows everyone, still in the mini movie theater, sitting down on the sectional couch surrounding a coffee table.

Nathan: What happened?

William: I don't know. I just want to know who the heck captured us! -Bangs fist on the table- Why were we sleeping down here?

Jay: -goes to say something, but is interrupted by...-

William: Oh wait, that's right. -laughs-

Lily: -whispers to Melissa- Can I go to the bathroom?

Melissa: -nods-

Lily heads to the bathroom as Nathan finally realizes something.

Nathan: Hey guys!

All: What?

Nathan: Where's Travis?

Jay: I don't know. Travis? Travis?

Melissa: Travis? Travis?

Joel (VO): Oh well, nothing we can do about him now.

Scene is again cut to fireplace scene from previously. Everyone is gathered around the fireplace now with Trey asleep and Niall is half asleep.

Shannon: Joel!

Joel: What? It's your fault! You were the one who made him disappear, so it's your fault!

Wilson: Joel! Stop interrupting!

Joel: What I only played music, bribed Niall to turn off the light, said R2-D2 was there, asked who Shannon was and commented positively on her story. You call that interrupting?!

Shannon and Wilson: -bluntly- Yes.

Joel: You too Wil? :( .

Wilson: Wait, you bribed Niall?

Shannon: So do you promise to stop interrupting?

Joel: I make no promises

Shannon: What about trying?

Joel: Continue the story already.

Shannon: -sigh- Continuing on....

The scene returns back to where we'd left off.

William: Travis? I haven't seen him since..... We were waking up the girls. -Gestures over to Melissa and notices Lily's missing. - Where's Lily?

Melissa: She went to the bathroom.

Jay has wandered over to where the girls had been lying before to find the safety goggles Travis had been wearing previously. At hearing Melissa's comment he glances towards the bathroom door to find it wide open.

Jay: Shouldn't she be back by now? The door's wide open!

Following Jay, everybody but Nathan files into the small half bathroom to find nothing has been disturbed. Coming out, they find that Nathan has also mysteriously disappeared, leaving only his bat behind.

William: -face palms- They're obviously pulling a prank on us.

Melissa: But Lily's missing too!

William: Either she's in on it, or it was spontaneous.

Jay: How do you know they didn't plan it?

William: No one knew my sister was here except for you, her, and Melissa.

Jay: and Cameron, and Abigail, and Raquel, and pretty much everyone else.

William: WHAT?

Jay: Did I forget to mention I told everyone?

William: -speechless-

Jay: What? You know I'm not good at keeping secrets

William: -speechless-

Jay: William? William? -waves hand infront of Will's face-

William: -swats Jay's hand away- Remind me that next time I'm about to tell you a secret.

Jay: As if I would remember t- hey, where'd Melis go?

William: Why, she's right he-- -looks around surprised-

Jay: -starts freaking out-

William: -struggling to stay calm­- Don't worry, I-I'm sure it's just a prank.

Jay: Melissa and Prank? You know those word don't go together!

William: I do, But how do you know?

Jay: eh-heh, um.. Let's check that room!

Jay points to the storage room and rushes past William towards it. William shakes his head and follows. But once he enters the room, he realizes that Jay too had disappeared.

William: uh, Jay? Jay? Where'd you go?

William looks around, visibly shaken (scared). When he speaks, his voice trembles.

William: haha, okay, you got me.

Jay: ...

William: This isn't funny anymore guys.

William walks up the stairs looks around, finds nothing and quickly heads back down
