Page 79 of Black and White, Twice the Might
We also didn’t have dinner this evening, everyone opting for totally unhealthy fair food, much to the satisfaction of Sly and my brothers.
As a family, we've decided to ride the ghost train together, so we go and queue up.
Elliot is walking past and laughs when he sees our costumes. “It’s a shame there isn’t an award for best fancy dress. Pretty sure Kean would win hands down.”
“Look, I’m a bell,” Kean says, swishing from side to side, making us all laugh.
“Are you joining us on the ride?” Ernest asks him.
“You know what? I think I will,” Elliot replies.
The train carts start coming out of the tunnel, and as people get out, the family starts going in.
Sly, the boys, and I get in the first one. Adhan, Emily, Elliot and Ernest take the next one.
Our cart starts to move, and we enter the tunnel. As we do, I see magic flying in. So, Ernest and the other witches are adding to the ride. This should be interesting.
We yelp and then laugh as we drive through smoke and bats. Behind us, we hear Ernest and the others in his cart yelp. I look at Sly, and he grins. “I might have doused them in water.”
“I’m gonna find out who did that and get them back,” we hear Ernest say.
We all laugh at him, and suddenly it’s like a bucket of slime has been dumped on Sly.
The boys and I burst out laughing as we see it falling all over his hair and face, and pooling in his lap.
“You got slimed,” Xander says, laughing.
“Take pictures,” Ernest shouts to us.
“Ernest, it’s so on,” Sly calls back, giving an evil laugh and magicking the slime away.
“My bad, anyway, it wasn’t me, it was Justice,” he calls back
“What did I do?” Justice calls as they come into the tunnel, also all yelping when they are doused in water.
“Slimed Sly,” Ernest shouts back.
We can’t hear Justice’s reply, but what we do hear is Ernest’s scream of terror. We look around to see what’s happening.
Ernest is looking at his lap, moving his hand and yelling. “Get it off, get it off, get it off,”
I’m not sure what it was, but whatever it was, we watch Ernest use magic and flings it back at Temp. The next moment, it explodes all over Temp, covering him in glitter.
“I hate you so much right now,Ernie,” Temp yells, loud enough for us all to hear.
We hear Ben loudly laughing his head off.
I turn back around and look at the scary attractions. This part looks like an old dungeon, with fake stone walls and sections with different attractions. Skeletons and dummies are chained to wall or the floor.
I laugh when I see a quartet of Grim Reapers playing instruments made out of bones in what looks like a music room.
“Watch this,” I say as I send my magic out to the Reapers. I make the carriages stop, and the Reapers surround Ernest’s cart and start singing, “Baby Shark.”
We all turn around and watch what’s happening.
“Oh dear gods, make them stop,” Emily pleads.
As the Reapers sing, ‘doo-doo’, they point bones at them, covering them in silly string.
