In the apartment of Luna, Luan, Sam, and Benny, the sole male resident was sitting on the couch with Sully and having a conversation. Sully had just finished saying, "Yeah, no way." Benny just looked at him in disbelief, as he continued, "There's no way a robot could win against a ghost. All he'd have to do is pass through the machine to disrupt the circuitry."

Benny argued back, "No, because the robot would be smart enough to have coated himself in anti-ghost repellent and have backup systems in case. If anything, he'd lure the ghost in close for the trick, and then activate a booby trap from inside as the ghost passes through."

Their conversation was interrupted when one of the bedroom doors opened, and Luna walked out. She was decked out in a purple suit, with a purple striped skirt over the pants, and some purple puffy tassels on the cuffs. Looking at the boys she gave them a raised eyebrow and asked, "Are you two seriously still arguing about this?"

Sully insisted, "It's important that I prove the superiority of ghosts!"

Benny fired back, "All you prove is that I'm right."

"No, I'm right."

"No, it's me!"

Luna shouted, "Enough! You boys got to start getting ready if we want to make it to that party at the theater. I'd think that you would care about that thing, Benny."

Benny got up and shook his head, "That is important, but so is this, besides, I have to wait for Luan to finish getting ready before I can start."

Sully added, as he put his arms behind his head, and sat back, "Besides, unlike you ladies, we boys can get ready really fast."

Both Luna and Benny just turned and stared at him, with raised eyebrows, before Luna told him, with some sarcasm, "Really, dude. With how long you take with your hair?"

He got up and dramatically pointed to his hair, "Hey, you think this rockin' look can just happen?"

The two rolled their eyes at this, just as the front door opened, and Mazzy walked in dressed in a light pink dress shirt, a purple plaid skirt, and a black jacket. Once inside, she asked, "So dudes, how do I look?"

Both Luna and Benny smiled and gave a thumbs-up, but Sully had gone wide-eyed, and told her, "Wow. You look amazing, Maz."

She smiled and gave a slight blush, "Oh thanks."

Sully started nervously rubbing the back of his head, but before he could say anything Luna told her, "I'm just glad you're actually ready."

Shaking his head, Sully nervously chuckled, "Well, speaking of, I-I should probably go get ready too." He left the apartment quickly after that, confusing the others a bit.

However, that had to be tabled as Sam walked out of her and Luna's bedroom, in a pink bathrobe, and wearing blue high heels. She asked the three, "Hey, um, do you think these shoes are too flashy?"

Luna smiled, "Sam, nothing is too flashy for you."

Sam blushed, "Aww. Thanks, Luna, but still I feel like maybe I should go with something simpler."

Benny added, "Sometimes simple is the best."

Just then, the other bedroom door opened, and Luan walked out, in a yellow dress and her hair messed up. She then said, "But sometimes over the top can be fun." Pointing at her hair, "If not a little more difficult. But it's worth it to look good," she turned to Benny, "especially for the one you love."

Smiling, Benny replied, "You always look good to me, Luan."

The comedy-loving Loud blushed, "Aww, shucks. Well, I still want to look my best for our theater group." She signed, "If I could get my hair to work with me today." After this, she checked her phone for the time, "And I'd better hurry."
