[1920s ragtime music plays. Opie, Marisol, Magdalena, Juan Manuel, Maribel, Abel and Mr. Chapi put the portraits on the wall, like Man with apple on his face, a girl riding a penny farthing, a creepy black cat and a man and the ghost of a murdered bride.]

"That was awesome!"

"Everyone say cheese"

[A photographer takes a picture of Juan Manuel, Opie, Marisol, Magdalena, Maribel, Abel and Mr. Chapi, but they notice ghosts appear in photos]

[Magdalena is the first to panic, but the others (with the exception of Mr. Chapi) are quick to follow her lead.]

[They all head for shelter.]

"Mr. Chapi focus do you focus something"

"It means the ghost of a woman appear in our photo every time we take a picture, how....could....this....happen."

"Uh-oh"

"Keep it together Magdalena it's just a creepy photo."

"Chill out, Magdalena!

"There's only one way to settle this......Perform a seance"

Thunder crash and creepy laughing

"Now, everybody hold hands." Marisol instructed. "Except for you Mr. Chapi."

She waited for everyone...but Mr. Chapi... to interlock hands.

"Is there anyone who has someone specific they'd like to contact?" Marisol asked.

"Our mom's friend Creepy Carmela." Came a voice from across the room.

"Creepy Carmela it is." Maribel and Abel said.

"Do you have something that belonged to er?" Marisol asked.

He drew a newsboy cap out of his pocket. "That'll do fine." Abel decided.

"Creepy Carmela, if you are with us, I command you to come forth."

Nothing.

"Creepy Carmelo, if you can hear me, let us know."

There came a knock overhead.

"I'm scared."

But they see the ghost of a woman with black hair in a bun and wears a victorian style black dress.

"Hello"

Everybody screamed and thunder crash.
