They catch up with Libby as they walk home
Molly: Hi, bestie!
Nightwolf: Sup!
Libby: So, what'd you do this weekend, guys?
They take some of Libby's chips
Molly: Oh, Libby, we had the cuh-raziest Friday night--
They are flying around town. Molly carries a mop and Scratch carries a bony fish and Nightwolf was hanging from its tail
Molly: Whoo-hoo!
Molly: We--
He shows up behind Molly and Nightwolf
Scratch: No, no, no! You both can't tell Libby about our ghost adventures.
Nightwolf: Um, yeah. This weekend, it was crazy. Uh, because Molly's Mom...
Scratch: Yes.
Nightwolf: had been looking for this scented... Rainbow Ribbon candle, which she is just nuts for, and so we just went all around town...
Scratch: Mm-hmm.
Nightwolf: looking for you know, we looked in...
Scratch: Tell her where you went.
Nightwolf: in, uh, Brighton,
Scratch: Yes!
Nightwolf: and then Perfektborg...
Scratch: A bit more.
Scratch: Further!
Molly: And then Mewline...
Scratch: Yes!
Molly: Oconohaw.
Scratch: Yeah! Nailed it.
Libby: And?
Molly: Pfft! No rainbow candle! Ha.
She chuckles
Libby: That is... crazy!
They groan
She leaves
Scratch: Hmm, I give that lie a 7 out of 10. Weird enough to be true, but boring enough that there are no follow-up questions. Good job.
Molly: Ugh, Sweet baby corn!
Nightwolf: Ugh, Great Spirit!
They are solving a puzzle
Nightwolf: Aw, we hate lying to Libby! She's our best friend, Scratch, she should know about you.
They show their hive-covered arm
Nightwolf: We're getting stress hives from all the lies!
Scratch: Ahh!
He is sight of the hives
Scratch: Molly and Nightwolf, don't you see that the more people know about me the less scary I am.
They groan
Scratch: And I'll be just some kind of friendly ghost!
Nightwolf: But We like friendly ghosts!
Scratch: Well, the Ghost Council doesn't!
He slams the table and makes the puzzle pieces float
He demonstrates as he speaks
Scratch: If I don't keep my scares up, they'll send me to the Flow of Failed Phantoms! FOREVER!
