CHAOS WAILS

Yesterday, Chaos opened a portal in here.

The question is - how?

Chaos was right here when it opened.

How far was he from the objects?

120.

Those objects - they're all from this dimension, right?

From Earth.

And they all went into the fear dimension.

Eureka!

It wasn't Chaos that opened the portal.

It was my old phone.

Chaos swallowed it at Ed and Jane's wedding, remember?

Ohhhhh!!!

That's why Chaos came back?

He had an Earth object in his gut.

And the portal seemingly rejected them.

If I'm right, we should be able to retrieve my phone, open

the portal, and send the Spookies home safely

with no earthbound material.

So, let's test that theory.

You're back. Finally.

Spooky baby-sitting is my least favourite activity.

I wish your parents hadn't decided to downsize.

My parents are happily accepting their new sustainable lifestyle.

Let's get you out of here, Phil. Thank you.

Anywhere but here. Come on, Chaos.

We need to test a theory.

Time to get dressed.

In case you go invisible and try to do a runner.

There you are!

Hi. What are you two up to?

You can smell it a mile away.

Smell what exactly?

Our fresh batch of fermented tofu!

It's positively pungent.

SQUELCHING

Utterly delicious. Here, try some.

May we take it to go?

My friends and I can snack on it while we watch

this evening's lunar eclipse.

Oh! The blood moon. Of course.

Perfect conditions tonight. There you go.

We shall join you. Oh, yeah.

Oh, no. There's no need.

What? I insist.

A blood moon is a rare...

SNEEZING

Whoa!

What was that?

So, the eclipse?

Shall we rendezvous at the clearing, then?

Wouldn't miss it.

Theo, I heard something in here.

Da, da, da, da!

Da, da, da, da, da!

Oh, thank you.

Ah, da, da, da, da, da!

And again! Da, da, da, da, da, da.

Oh! Bravo!

Oh! Magnifique.

THEY LAUGH

Thank you.

I miss dancing with you, Mel.

I'm sorry I haven't had enough Jess time lately.

Work has been nonstop, but I'm gonna make it up to you.

Already are.

I get you all to myself.

Plus, a supermoon and a blood moon on the same night?

This astronomy-lover is excited.

And we have enough glow sticks to last us a year.

OWL HOOTS

What time does it get dark again?

Proud of you, honey.

Braving the dark tonight is going to be totally worth it.

I wish you could stargaze without being in, you know...

..the dark.

Guess what? Your bravery shall be rewarded.

Do I smell a surprise?

Big surprise.

Yay!

It's just...

..it gets so dark out here.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Promise?

Promise.

Time for a surprise.

Popcorn buffet. First things first.

Chaos, if you will. Stand on the X and you can have all

the popcorn you want.

I think he's scared.

CHAOS PANTS

It's OK, dude. Nothing bad's gonna happen.

You're safe with us.

Xena, it's working.

Chaos, may I?

Please go invisible so I can see what's in your tummy.

My old phone!

If we can retrieve it, we can open the portal and send

the Spookies safely home.

Or my name's not Xena Papademetriou.

WAILING

A Spooky eyeball?

WAILING

You get the Spooky, we work on the portal?

Yes, just follow the screaming.

It's all good. How hard can it be to find a giant eyeball?

WAILING

What was that? Probably just a possum.

It's getting dark.

What do you say we go into the tent and read stories

until the eclipse rolls around?

Mum...that is the best idea you've ever had!

Shotgun reading first.

The last time you did a casual pastry picnic by the lake,

it was to tell me that you'd stained my Angus

the Apathetic Alpaca plushie!

Gah! We're in nature, Jon!

Nature's calming!

Can't we just be calm?

So, this is a bad news picnic?

Fine. Aha!

Bowlarama is broke.

But...Bowlarama is the raddest place in Sunny Valley.

If we don't cash up soon, it's going to be called "Bowl-no-rama".

Oh, Jon!

Jon!

What a day for Xena to forget the Spooky detector.

She's got a lot on her mind.

So what happens when we find this eye dude and Xene

gets her phone back? Oh, right.

Yeah, we send them all home. And you're peachy with that?

Yes. No.

Full disclosure - I'm loving Spooky hunting

a bit more than expected.

Actually, a lot more than expected.

But we can't keep them here, Bert.

Wait! What's that?

It's pastries.

Untouched? Someone left in a hurry.

Littering is the worst.

Hello? Anyone there?

Ooh, chilly.

Where are you, eyeball?

Never fear, Sunny Valley! Super Bert and Billie will save the day.

We have an eye for detail.

OK. Come on, Bert, before it gets dark.

How do we get my old phone out of Chaos?

I'm just going to say it.

We get him to spew it up. No!

How would you like it if your friends tried to get

you to vomit?

Might I remind you, you and your friends are due

to meet your parents in less than 90 minutes

to watch the blood moon.

The clock is quite literally ticking.

"Miss Hillingham mounted her broom and soared

"off into the dark night sky.

"Abigail didn't know if she'd see her again, but she always left

"the light on so she could find her way home, just in case."

SNORING

OK.

You have a nap.

I'm gonna...

..check out the stars.

Great idea, honey. Have a little explore.

Just don't go too far. Not past the scout hall.

I'll wake you for the eclipse.

Whoa!

WAILING

Double whoa!

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Come on, Jess. You can do this.

You've got these to find your way home.

WAILING

Hmm?

Hmm?

Mm!

What is going on in there?

Hello? Little purple critter?

LOUD SCREECH

SHE TREMBLES

ELECTRICAL WHIRRING

Whoa...

Triple whoa.

Huh? What are you?

SHE GASPS

Huh?

What is THAT?

They're like mini eyeballs.

Laser beams.

SPOOKY SCREECHES

SHE GASPS

Ah!

Huh?

Wha's ha'ening?

How could this happen? We're like entrepreneurial geniuses.

Too genius.

We kept entrepreneuring our way into discounts.

It all adds up. 5% here, 2% there.

So much percent. Wait.

QUACKING, ANIMALS CALL

Jon, do you know where we are?

I was following you.

Dude, I was following YOU!

Agh! Agh! So glad you brought me out here

for a bad news picnic in the dark.

Wait. Why are you smiling? Brother,

look! A trail!

THEY GASP Ohhhhh!

Hello, little glowsticks. We'll be home in no time.

GIGGLING

Come on, phone.

Come up.

We're running out of time. We got to pivot.

The train's going in. Are you sure?

Ah! Ah!

Ahhhhhhh...

Whoa!

Xena, we have no choice.

Vomit.

It's the only way.

Oh, whoa.

Are you scared of the dark? Cos I'm not! No!

Do you think two 40-year-old dudes who sleep in a bunk bed

with the light on are afraid of the...? What the heck is that?!

Hello? Help me! Frozen ghost girl? Hello?

Hello! Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Jon?

Ru-u-un!

JOHN AND JON SCREAM

Agh! Ghost girl!

SCREAMING FADES

Help me!

It's got Backpack Jess!

We gotta save her.

Whoa! What are you doing?

We have zero lay of the land right now.

You're right. Get the lay of the land.

Good plan. Help!

So what's the plan?

Does that mini eyeball thing look Spooky to you?

What if these are, like, sensor beams?

Like in heist movies! Right.

Except, instead of protecting a diamond or a bank vault,

they're protecting eyeball.

And if you trip a beam -

boom! Big eyeball freezes you in the spotlight. Help!

Nice one, bro.

Hey, I've got an idea.

SPOOKY YELPS

She's free!

Psst!

Stay low. Don't touch the beams.

SHE GASPS

First, I've never been happier to see you two.

Second -

SO many questions.

We know.

But for now, can you please just trust us

and do exactly as we say?

SHE RETCHES It's gross, but it's the only way.

If Chaos is going to eat the stinky tofu,

then we too must eat the stinky tofu.

It's only fair.

SNORTING

GRUMBLES

SNORTS

VOMITS, THUD

Yep, that's my old phone.

There's three of us and one of it.

You get close, grab it, and whatever you do, don't touch the lasers.

Ugh.

SPOOKY SCREECHES

LASERS WHOOSH

SPOOKY YELPS Keep moving.

SPOOKY YELPS AND GRUNTS

Backpack Jess, unleash the pastries!

Bert! Now!

Go!

Yaaaah!

SPOOKY YELPS FRANTICALLY

Oh. Thank you, well-lit car park.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Well, that was truly awful. Let's not do that again.

No more nature, no more frozen ghost girls

and no more bad news night-time picnics.

No. No.

Totally.

Hey, bro, can I be real for a second? Bro.

I don't want to lose the alley, bro.

Samesies. Samesies, John.

Yeah? Yeah. Yeah.

Got to, like, I don't know, make truckloads of cash somehow.

Yes. Yes, yes.

We've been thinking small.

Yeah. We've got to think...

..less small. Yes.

To infinity and...

..way further than infinity.

Yeah. Mark my word, brother.

You and me, we're going to be millionaires.

Oh, yeah! Woo! Woo, yeah!

And the richest in Sunny Valley.

BELL DINGS Oh, yeah. Millionaires!

MUFFLED YELPING

Is that thing OK?

It's a Spooky. And I think it's scared.

It doesn't like the dark. It's OK, eyeball Spooky...thing.

We got you. And you're safe now.

SPOOKY MOANS SOFTLY

YELPING

Maybe a little light will help it.

It helps me.

SPOOKY MOANS SOFTLY

You're a natural.

OWL HOOTS

I promised my mum I'd be back before the eclipse!

No sweat. We'll walk you.

Thanks. Really.

And since we're walking, we could also do some talking.

You know, give me the A and Z on these things.

What do you reckon, BB?

The Spooky's well and truly out of the bag now.

But you've got to promise not to tell anyone.

OK. For sure, I promise.

It all started seven months ago,

when me and Xena were chilling in my back yard.

Reckon she can keep a secret?

Totes. I trust her.

Wonder if the Spooky has something to do with the fear of the dark.

It's a good theory.

It WAS kind of looking out for danger in the darkness.

But what kind of danger?

So we're doing this? We're really sending them home?

I feel for BPJ.

She's only just found out about Spookies.

It hurts, yes, but it's the right thing to do.

Straight after the blood moon. Yeah. Later.

Hm!

Ahoy there, fellow blood mooners.

Best vantage point in town.

Complete with perfectly positioned telescope.

That would be Jessie's perfectly positioned telescope.

That is the surprise?

Best night ever!

Telescope envy. Yes! It is a beauty.

You haven't seen, um, four kids about, have you?

Why? Lost your, uh, SUN?

No. No, our daughter.

Uh, wait a minute.

You mean sun - S-U-N!

Oh, ten points for the pun!

Ahoy, parentals. Oh, right on time!

How's your evening?

We were just playing a little spotlight.

Spotlight! Fun!

I recall being a wee lad of five or six,

tearing it up around Vladivostok.

Or maybe it was Transylvania.

No. Wagga Wagga. Darling, there you are,

it's starting, it's starting! Come on, come on, come on.

So many whoas!

Ha ha-ha! So beautiful.

Amazing.

See? Dark's not so bad.

The darker the night, the better for astronomising.

Exactly.

And the better for staying up super late with Mama.

Sorry I fell asleep.

I'm proud of you, Jessie.

You showed your fear who's boss.

And I brought marshmallows. SHE GASPS

Oh! Yay!

THEY SIGH

What a delightful astronomical event. Mm-hm.

Well, shall we depart?

Could we please have half an hour more before heading home?

More spotlight? There will be spotlights, yes.

Well, who are we to interrupt the joys of childhood?

Have at it. Meet you in the car park in 30.

BPJ, want to join?

Thanks, but we've got marshmallows to melt.

If my calculations are correct, the portal should open up

right about...now.

Whoa!

Whoa!

SPOOKIES CHATTER

Spookies! Please hurry!

Come on, Spooky dudes. Home time!

Come on! Come on, Spookies. We don't have time for this.

I don't think I can hold on for much longer.

Help!

The objects have a gravitational pull.

It's too unstable.

Waah!

WHOOSH!

LOUD CRACKLING AND RUMBLING Agh!

What is happening?!

I have no idea!

THEY YELP LOUD RUMBLING

THEY MURMUR SOFTLY

All the objects are gone.

Huh? Whoa!

So I'm guessing that's not closing any time soon.

And why don't THEY want to go home?

WHIMPERING

SPOOKY YELPS

Arrrgh!
