Back in the Cream Cube.
Jackie: That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. And you scared the freshman.
Mystery: It's true!
Jackie: Well. you got one thing right. Esmé is just like her.
Esmé: You'll find any excuse to hate me, don't you?
Esmé enters the Cream Cube.
Jackie: Oh, you give me plenty of reasons.
Mystery: More than plenty.
Esmé: You stay out of this, Mystery.
Mystery: It's Mystie...
Esmé: So why do you hate me, hm? Because I always get better parts than you? Or, let me think, Daniel likes me more.
Before Jackie can retaliate, the door slams shut.
Ashwin: This place is haunted!
Daniel and Emmet enter.
Emmet: You guys are so gullible!
Esmé rushes in as Natalie enters. She looks to everyone else, confused and angry, and Mystery just shrugs. Jackie high fives Daniel and the screen fades to black.
