well learning how to scare is an introduction level, all ghosts should know how to scare " cruny said, as Nora showed them her uncles bedroom, which had a decent sized bed, a trio of dusty book and a candle in a holder. " Let me shgow you folks the other rooms, and then we'll start looking in the firest for the right tree.' Nora said.

"Scaring is for the humans to learn." Baxter comments. "We cadets each learn our respective Ghoul's style of tactics. Something to do with us being linked somehow. Though I'm not sure how my fellow squadron member Jamal is able to emulate intangibility. Phanty, did he ever come up with one for that? Or is he not to that phase? Sybella, you're in with my commanding officer Tug Roper, he seems to have lost his reflection, that must be your doing, apparently he really wanted to be a vamp. No lame book references please, and if you do not know, don't ask."

We won't ask then" Dixie shrugged as Nora showed them the other rooms on the floor, which were smaller than the main bedroom. "Alright everyone."she said as she turned to go down the stairs to the ground floor. "Grab some bread slices on your way out, as we are not stopping for a lunch break until we can narrow down the area where a treasure might be buried."Nora finished

..... "Hey look at this." Riley comments noticing another electromagnetic spectrum box. "This one's marked visible light, but not as visible light." "They always lable visible light as ROYGBIV=W, RGB=W & CMY=K when listing it depending on your format of actual light versus ink and artificial light." Chris remarks. "However, I don't think that our enemies would know that, they have the positions of light goofed up. Instead they say that the rainbow makes black and that ink makes white." "That's odd." Fred notes. "Somebody must really want to work with with electromagnetics, but changed them to make ink, abeit poorly."

That is weird " Velma said as they looked around the ruined building , here and there were boxes of modern electronic equipment mixed with the debris of ancient furniture
Nora lead Dixie Missy and the others out of the house after grabbing the rest of the banana bread. "We will need to find the girls before looking for the tree"Creola said, following close behind Dixie and Nora "the more eyes that are looking for the treasure, the better chance we'll find it." "We'll have to split up in order to cover more ground "Missy said as the group passed through the remains of the plantation, rows of raised ground meant for corn and wheat, split by a winding path that lead into the forest beyond

"How about the ghouls and I go to the garden area?" Baxter suggests with a joke. "We can keep you safe from...a row of unwanted ears."

True otherwise they would jump on each of us " Nora said as they entered the forest in single file. "Watch your feet guys " Missy said pulling level with Nora as the group moved along

"No, he's not to that stage quite yet. If you ask me, h's just not SPIRITed enough to have the energy for it." Phantasma giggled at her lame pun.
Sybella rolled her eyes at Baxter's quite literally corny joke. "Sure, we'll go out to the garden area with you. What kind of stuff grows here anyway? I hope it's something rotten." - "Rice to ree you ragain too, Ramber." Scooby smiled.

Enough with the food jokes , children ' crony said. ' lets just say that i;ve lost my appetite for them. " cruny! that was almost as bad as the corn jokes ' creola quipped. ' a comic, sir, you are not." ' don't get Nora started on jokes " Marybelle said ' otherwise we'll be too busy laughing to find my things.. " " always up for a laugh dears, but now isn't the right time for jokes. we have more important things on our plate , than quips of hares riding turtles for fun " Nora cackled. ' lets see.. hmm. theres three carved trees over there.. darn they're all ' Creola + Nora" ones. Love you, Creola dear, but those markings aren't the ones we are looking for. ' Nora said, as they passed the trees , which clearly had the names ' Nora' and 'Creola' carved into them. ' we used a switch blade on them' Creola said. thats why the letters are like that." ' nearly broke the blade on that middle one, its bark was HARD. " "How far to your treehouse , girls?" Missy asked, from slightly behind Dixie. " its further in, off a little side trail. You'll be able to see it easily , it was painted white and pink. Paints faded some, and some of the roof shingles need fixing, but considering no one has entered it in over a century - that wasn't a ghost- its in surprisingly good shape. then again, as I've said, my uncle never settled for less than quality work. " Nora said. ' we'll show you around the treehouse for a bit, in groups, since the treehouse, was only meant to hold, 5-6 at the most. the three of us would play with the daughters of some of the working hands, so that the fathers could work wiyjout worrying about what their girls were up to.
I remember Nili, the foreman's daughter. very nice girl, had a knack for woodcarving. you could give her a log and in a few hours she;d hand you a flute, or a ship or even a wooden bust of herself or us. she would make face carvings of all the girls who visited the treehouse. i checked last night and they are all still there in the drawer., we painted them to matched each of our faces. Nili was the last guest of the treehouse, before we locked it., we spent hours reminiscing abut s tuff, and she would worry about what she would do with her father out of a job. Fortunately, Creola's dad hired her dad to help him patch some of his tougher boots and shoes. Different from overseeing workers trying to harvest food, but it kept a roof over their head, and let me hangout with Nili. lets see now, where did she end up going.. ' ah yes. she moved to Wisconsin after the war,as her dad had gotten enough money from his work, to move to a nice area.. what was the the town she was in.. Passtigo? Potigo? Peshtigo? anyway. the town was consumed by fire in 1871, and she was lucky to escape with her life. after that. Creola invited her to stay with her, and i sent an invitation as well. ' did she ever visit you, Creola? ' because she did visit me a few times. ' yes. four times twice in 1872 and 1873. she had managed to hone, her skills in carving so that she could earn nice money carving things from logs, plus she gave piano lessons. not rich, by any means, and certainly not after the fire., but she always kept a smile on her face." creola said. she ws always happy to see me, and said she was sorry that she couldn't visit more. ' yes that nili alright. ' Nora said. ' anyway, enough reminiscing. you'll get to see her carvings when we get to the treehouse." she said ' just keep looking for names on trees.

creola and missy walked together behind dixie, both glancing around for any trees with carvings on them. ' the group walked onward, in pairs of two. with Nora and dixie in front" the turn to the treehouse is right here ' Nora said, turning to the left and heading between two two large and wide trees. ' theres steps up to the treehjoue and we also used a rope ladder, although i cant imagine anyone would fancy climbing up a frayed and weather rope ladders.' Nora said. ' unless you're like Cruny " marybelle said ; the adventurous type.' Theres a difference, my dear between bravery and foolhardiness' Cruny replied. ' taking the fight to the enemy is brave. trying to climb a rope that has been exposed to elements and weather and the ravages of time, is foolhardy.Nora;s uncle may have built the structure well, but it doesn't mean the same can be said for the rope ladder. Didn't the 4 of you make it? " Yes, Us and Nili.' Creola said. ' we weren't pros at it by any stretch, it was something to do to pass the time. " and that is the difference between the work of something who is experienced and knows how to make things that last, versus four young ladies using thread and needle and creating something of of materials that didn't make it into dresses. " Cruny said. " we can replace the rope ladder' nora shrugged , as part of the repairs." - dixie was the first to see the treehouse, situated halfway up a massive oak tree and partly screened by the foliage. ' the treehouse wrapped around the trees, with a staircase winding around the tree to the ground below.' the roof ws covered in moss from the weather, and the windows were dirty. ' looks pretty nice ' Dixie said " it needs cleaning. it was either come here last night and clean it, or clean the house, and i chose clean the house. " nora said.

"Anyone else want to explore the island a little bit?" Elsa asked. The other four ghoul girls all excitedly nodded their heads. "Who knows, maybe we'll even find hidden treasure!" Phantasma mused. "Missy, do we have time to walk around the island a little bit and explore?" Elsa inquired.

girls, we are already exploring the island ' Missy pointed at the path they are on. ' but i'll tell you what. we'll spend some time at the treehouse, then split up. you ghouls can take the western half of the island, we'll take the eastern half. remember the trees we are looking for ; have ' Nora" and Marybelle" carved on them. theres not too many of them, as nora spent more time with creola on the island then she did with Marybelle. " she finished as the treehouse came fully into view. ' so, which group wants to be the first in? nora smiled. 'the ghouls don't weigh much, so we can do more than 5. ' dixie said. i'll wait outside with baxter ; Cruny said. ' we'll fix any problems on the balcony , or stairs. Baxter, you do have a repair kit in your bag, correct?" he said. '
