-Ghost Time👻-
A small story that’s been stuck in my head for days (heh). I’m going to draw a little comic for it :D
-----------------------------------
The lair was dark except for the flickering light of the TV. Zuki sat cross-legged on the couch, a bowl of popcorn balanced between her and Mikey. The movie on screen had just reached the *definitely-don’t-go-into-the-basement* part.
“Ohhh, this is my favorite kind of bad decision,” Mikey whispered excitedly, pulling the blanket tighter around both of them. “You *know* something’s about to jump out.”
Zuki snorted. “You say that every five minutes.”
A loud noise blasted from the speakers. Zuki flinched despite herself, and Mikey gasped dramatically, clutching her arm.
“OKAY, RUDE,” he hissed at the TV. “No warning, no vibes, just trauma.”
They were laughing when suddenly—
A pale, floating shape rose behind the couch.
Zuki screamed. Mikey screamed louder.
The popcorn went airborne.
Without thinking, both of them grabbed the nearest pillows and spun around, swinging wildly.
“BACK TO THE SPIRIT REALM—!”
The “ghost” stumbled back as the white sheet slipped, revealing Leonardo’s grinning face just before another pillow smacked him square in the head.
“Worth it,” Leo said, laughing as he tried to block the attacks. “Totally worth—OW—okay, maybe not worth it.”
Zuki lowered her pillow, still catching her breath, then narrowed her eyes. “Yeah. Movie night betrayal.”
Leo held up his hands in surrender, still smiling. “Alright, alright. Truce. I’ll even get more popcorn.”
Mikey brightened instantly. “Forgiven.”
Zuki sighed, smiling despite herself, and settled back onto the couch as the movie resumed,this time with one eye on the screen, and one eye watching for ghosts.
