I wouldn't have it any other way.

Life and death are not so far apart.

Come along, children, all aboard.

If only we had summer excitings to go this half -term.

Yet we may still have a wonderful time.

I intend to paint and embroider.

It will be as our holidays used to be.

I do not understand how things could ever be as they were. I know they

Yet I would like to try.

Will I intend to embrace the new?

By looking through a magazine?

Miss Idea's replied to my letter. Look!

Dear Miss Idea, how may I make the most of my holiday?

In the past, my sisters and I embroidered.

Yet this holiday I wish for something far more modern. Please help.

and Miss Idea's top tips for a lush holiday.

Tip one, lip gloss and sunscreen are a must.

Tip two, be careful with your belongings. Statistics show people are

more likely to be robbed whilst on holiday.

Oh, goodness.

And tip three, always wear sunglasses.

Oh.

You see how quickly I adapt.

Oh.

Headmaster Griffith thinks we're travelling with our guardian.

Oh!

Come to the common room in 20 minutes.

Aye, have a plan.

From what I have observed from television, modern holidays always

far too much.

Balloons also seemed appropriate, and acting in a slovenly manner is actually

encouraged.

They also seem to involve being with one's family.

And I know that that cannot happen, but with the other pupils away, we may have

the next best thing.

Our ghost family!

Happy holidays!

Hi!

Yet, why are you allowed to leave the graveyard?

Oh, the boundaries that constrict us are of our own making. And besides, with

Agatha attending the Inhuman Resources Conference, she can't stop us, you know?

Books plus looking at the same four gravestones day in and day out.

Superdell.

Aye, it's nice to have a change of scenery. And we all have so much fun

slovenly together and eating far too much.

Well,

that wasn't me. I don't have a cold. Warriors don't get colds. Their bodies

far too strong.

You most certainly do have a cold.

catch a cold? You're a ghost.

Well, it's very honourable to die in battle.

But... Grendel did not die in battle.

No, I was on my way to battle. I was all geared up with some serious enemy

crushing. And then I got a cold.

Achoo!

And then I died.

And I never got to crush my enemies.

Her cold returned a few times a year.

Achoo! Actually,

I call it Bob.

You call your cold Bob?

Oh, aye, it's been around for a very long time. He comes back to remind me of

dishonourable death.

But don't swear it. You can't catch it.

Oh, no, no, no, no. You see, Bob is a cold that only affects the living.

And me.

away to sunbathe.

Headmaster! Jonathan, why have you all returned?

The school bus broke down.

And until it's fixed, we won't be going anywhere.

But what are you doing here? I thought your plans involved travelling with your

guardian. Well, yes, indeed, they certainly do. My guardian has been

until tomorrow.

Well, you're on the same boat as the rest of us, then.

this affect your exotic trip with your parents?

I don't care.

She's still hoping David will ask her skiing with him instead.

Skiing with David?

Well, I do not know precisely what skiing entails, yet it does seem a

modern way to holiday.

Yeah, well, don't get too excited, because he's not going to ask you, is

Well, he may.

Look, you're weird, and I have amazing hair.

It's obvious I'll win. I always do.

Grendel, cold.

Oh, Christine.

Oh, terribly sorry. I just noticed you had a little something on your lip

You are such a freak.

No,

the ghost.

It's with all the balloons.

So everyone has returned.

Indeed. And now everyone is watching my DVDs and eating my crisps.

And our home is a school once more.

Never even less like holidays used to be. Well, on the plus side, at least now

have a chance to have a truly modern holiday with David.

Skiing? Yes.

Yes, so I think I'm going to go check out the scene.

Buddy, you cannot risk it. Our secret must be discovered.

No one tells Budmaster what to do.

Buddy!

Right, well, I'm going too.

I want to see if the living can still...

You are wrong.

But Grendel, no, please, come back.

Wait for me.

Buddy, Grendel, please. There are many other pleasant forms of recreation.

I continue to enjoy it. It is most rewarding.

Who's Buddy and Grendel?

And why are you wearing that?

These clothes are my holiday attire.

And Buddy and Grendel?

They are my imaginary friends.

You have imaginary friends?

Who you talk to?

Oh, Charlie.

Yes, I do.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I must speak with them urgently.

Hello, Charlie.

Hi, Hazel.

I hope you've come to help me contain the ghost.

But they're dead ghosts, Sophie, not living ones, so others can't see them.

Remember? That is not the point.

And besides, they may not be able to see them, but they can most definitely hear

them. Come on!

Show me what you've got!

Me! Show me what you're made of!

My goodness!

What is happening?

Sophie, look!

Brenda's challenging a tutor farmer.

Is it not entertaining?

No, it is not.

Come on.

Well, I'm going to go check out the music room.

Shut up, babe.

Shouldn't you go after him? I'll deal with things here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Chill out, Sophie.

Grendel, listen to me. It is only a suit of armour to shout at.

What are you doing, Sophie?

Why, I am talking with the suit of armour, as it is a custom among my

What, Brits?

Why not?

Hey, guys, I've been looking for you everywhere.

Yeah, well, we're not talking to you right now. You made us ill.

But that wasn't my fault.

Yeah, well, it's still really annoying.

Freak.

Hand over his icy cold cheek.

Love on the fan.

I've never read anything like it.

It's about the complex love between girl and vampire.

He wants to suck her blood, but he's such a dreamboat.

And the world just doesn't understand.

Well, for a book, it sounds rather good.

But now I must wait to convince David I'm the perfect skiing companion.

No, Melanie, forgive him.

He can't help it.

that I have rather vague plans this holiday.

Indeed, they are plans that could easily be changed, in case you were wondering.

I'm actually not feeling that great.

Oh, heavens.

Have you seen Christine? Please tell me you have not.

I was sitting next to her in the common room. There were crisps.

Man,

I feel bad.

I'm going to go lie down.

Oh, do not worry, David. I will tend to you.

Hazel, that guitar, it's, it's flowing.

Can you see it?

I see you were ill. It's making you delirious. You're imagining things.

Woo!

It's cold in here.

Right.

Honestly, really delirious. Imagining coldness and floating guitars.

Come, I'll take you to bed, dear.

But... Do not worry, David.

I will watch over you until you are well once more.

Oh,

not you too.

Yeah.

What about looking after me? Your best and also very ill friend.

Nothing will happen if I ask you back to help.

What do you think is going to happen if you make David better?

He will fall in love with me, of course.

Surely you must know that, Jonathan.

I want it.

I need it.

Try it on then.

It's certainly your type of outfit.

In this armour, I will be adorable.

Oh, it's a bit heavy.

But I will get used to it. I will. You'll be unstoppable.

Headmaster, have you caught Bob too?

I fear he may be running through the school at great speed now.

What? Who was Bob?

And why is he running?

Never mind, Sophie, I'll catch him.

I meant to say, have you caught a cold, Headmaster?

Perhaps you should retire.

You're right, Sophie.

Perhaps...

do what our darling governess mildred would have done but what must i do first

know what to do we should get love on the fang too melanie and christian are

adorable you know when he bites her it's just so romantic no

man will ever love me as you do an emotional man huh i know

mildred's medicine once everyone has taken it they will feel so much better

And then I may finally paint.

I must away and prepare a batch.

You must be brave and take your medicine.

Okay, A, I'm not five.

And B, that stuff really stinks.

Can't I just take some cold remedy?

This is cold remedy.

And it is the best cold remedy. Once you have taken it, you will feel much

better, I can assure you.

Open wide.

Come on.

There's a good girl.

That stuff tastes foul.

Goodness.

I'm sure this medicine has not made anyone else feel so poorly.

I'm the Sousa Farmer.

came back. And I made everybody ill.

Oh, um... Actually, that may not have been entirely your fault.

I, um... I wiped my hanky on Christine.

I was trying to ruin her chances of holidaying with David. I did not mean to

make everybody sick.

I am truly sorry, Sophie.

As am I.

I let myself get carried away having fun with Fonny and Grendel.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Sophie. We will make it up to you.

Yeah, we'll put everything right.

What can you do to make things better?

You'll see.

Christine, why are you here? Because my friends are mad at me for giving them

this stupid cold.

Oh.

What's going on?

Oh, David, do not worry. It is me, Rebecca.

I've been tending to you tirelessly.

Right.

Cheers.

Do you not have anything else you wish to say to me?

No.

Really?

Nothing you want to say to me?

Nothing at all?

Why will you not ask me skiing?

Why, David? Why, why, why?

You want to come skiing?

Yes, please.

OK, sure.

Mum and Dad's Akuba Lodge is massive, so there's a ton of spare rooms.

You don't look very happy for a girl who just got what she wanted.

Well, I had imagined it would be so much more romantic.

Oh, you're still annoyed, Christine. That's normally a plus, right?

Normally.

Yet I have acted appallingly, and... Well, I actually have no idea what

is.

Oh,

let me help you. Oh, you have sick in your hair.

I mean, there, there. Do not worry.

Listen, I'm sorry about everything. I did not think you would mind my going

skiing with David.

You have such an exciting trip planned with your parents.

Yeah, but you have some plan to go travelling with your guardians, so...

Actually, I do not.

It was a lie.

Therefore, skiing seemed like the perfect opportunity to do something

on my holiday.

Yeah, well, mine too.

I do not understand.

You're not the only one who lies, Rebecca.

Oh. Feels like you've got to make out your life better than it actually is.

So there is no exotic trip?

There's an exotic trip.

For my parents.

They're going to some five -star resort in the Maldives, only... Only I'm not

invited.

I'm getting palmed off onto my own.

You know, you're lucky, Rebecca.

You get to be with your sisters.

That's what the holidays are about.

I have a theory, and in order for it to work, I need to be certain of something.

I think Bob caused your death rather than battle.

Do you think your death was really dishonorable?

Come and see, Grendel.

Look at the pupils, Grendel.

And tell me, do they seem dishonorable?

No, they're just sick.

in your illness either.

It is not your fault, Grendel.

or continue to blame herself, Bob stayed with her.

He was merely a symptom of her own guilt.

Oh.

Oh.

Jonathan, David, how are you doing?

Yeah, loads better. Yeah, me too. Oh, good.

David, may I first thank you for your kind offer to accompany me skiing?

However, I have realised that I must spend this holiday with my sisters.

You should ask Christine instead. I... Still, her schedule may be a little more

open to change than mine.

Okay, I'll ask her. Whatever.

Hiya, Rebecca.

That was pretty big of you.

Well, I discovered a little more about skiing, and I gather that one must

and slide through snow wearing ridiculously large shoes, which would

suit me at all.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

What have you been doing?

Saving the day.

Want to listen?

Pretty fine work, if I do say so myself.

Indeed, pretty fine.

You did not have to do this, you know.

Yeah, I know.

But you just wanted your holiday to remind you how stuff used to be.

And I get it.

So, come tomorrow morning. The others can leave and we'll get out of here too.

Strange how it just mended itself.

I took a protest run this morning. Engine, herd, light... Right.

Last stragglers and we'll all be set.

Now, where's your guardian? I can't leave you here to run riot.

She's waiting over there, Headmaster.

Excellent.

Toodles. Bye -bye. Have a nice holiday.

Have fun, girls.

Thanks, driver.

Bye.

Did it work?

Like a dream.

Well,

we'll leave you to enjoy your holiday, then.

Please, do not go.

We have learnt that the modern holiday is all about family, and we are rather

like a family, are we not?

The balloons are still up, and I found us some more clothes.

Well, in that case, then, guess we're going to have to stay.

Oh, can I dress up in the armour again?
