A few minutes later, Dash was wrapping an old white scarf he found around Bandit's neck.

"Does the hero have to wear a scarf?" Bandit asked.

"Our one does!" Dash said.

"If you say so," Bandit sighed.

"There, you look like-"

"A doberman wearing a scarf," Bandit said.

"Well, uh- yeah, you do. Whatever. Just wear it!" Dash yelled. Coco suddenly jumped into Bandit and knocked him over.

"What was that for?" Bandit asked as he kicked Coco off of him.

"I'm practising for the skit. I'm the monster!" Coco laughed.

"What kind of monster?" Travis asked.

"I'm not telling! It'd ruin the suprise," Coco said sneakily. "Well, I'm gonna go get my costume on. See ya later, dawgs!" Coco ran off to get his costume on.

"Dash, can I play the part of the schnauzer who um- hides under a cardboard box?" Travis asked.

"Nope. I've already got a part for you," Dash replied. "It's more important than Coco!" He added.

"But not as important as the hero!" Bandit said.

"Well, what is it?" Travis asked.

"You're the one who gets caught by the monster!" Dash revealed.

"Oh...snap," Travis squeaked.

 

                                                                                      ***

 

"Wait 'till these guys get a load of this!" Coco put a green sheet with red paint that made it look like blood over him.

"Behold the ultimate terror!" Coco said to himself as he  put holes in the sheet so he could see out.

"I'm gonna go scare Tangerine!" Coco decided. He went off towards Tangerine's dustbin at the bottom of the junk pile in The Junkyard.

 

                                                                                       ***

 

Tangerine was outside her dustbin digging up her large collection of bones.

"I'll try just one," Tangerine was about to chew on one of her bones when a shadow loomed over her.

"Hey watcha doin' Tangerine?" Coco asked. Tangerine started shaking.

"Uh-um-I wasn't gonna eat it!" Tangerine burried the bones again.

"What's with you? It's me, Coco!" Coco yelled.

"That's Coco's voice. It's got Coco!" Tangerine screamed.

He tried ot get out of the sheets but he found out he was tangled in loose threads.

"Yikes!" Coco panicked.

"Hey, Tangerine, can ya help me get outta here?" Coco asked. Tangerine ignored Coco and went running down the path, screaming.

"Tangerine! Come back! HEY!" But no one came to Coco's aid.

 

                                                                                     ***

 

Dash and the gang was rehearsing the skit.

"Action!" Dash yelled.

"Oh...help!" Travis said in his loudest voice.

"Try that again, you sound like a mouse that got a sore throat!" Dash ordered.

"Oh, help!" Travis tried.

"Close enough!" Dash sighed.

"I will save you!" Bandit zoomed towards Travis.

"Perfect, Bandit!" said Dash.

"Hey, where's Coco?" Travis asked.

"AAAAARRRGH!" Tangerine charged into the scene.

"What's goin' on!?" Dash asked.

"Coco's been captured by a ghost!" Tangerine panicked.

"Oh, for crying out loud, everyone, there's no ghosts and that's final!" Dash yelled. Suddenly Coco, still tangled in his sheet, appeared.

"Do you believe me now?" Tangerine asked.

"Yep...RUN!" Bandit, Travis and Tangerine ran down the street.

"Hey" I need some help!" Coco yelled.

"Guys, get back here!" Dash yelled. He went looking for Tangerine, Bandit and Travis.

"This way!" Tangerine yelled as they zoomed past Tony's.

"Hey, can we stop for lunch?" Bandit asked as he started scratching at the door. Tangerine grabbed him and pulled him away. Just tehn, Tony's came outside looking for the oersin who scratched at the door.

"Darn kids!" He yelled. He walked back in and slammed the door behind him. Tangerine led Travis and Bandit to the park. "Quick, up here!" Tangerine jumped into a tree, followed By Bandit, then Travis.

"Guys, where'd ya go?" Coco called. Tangerine peeked out and saw Coco entering the park.

"It's comin'!" Tangerine hissed. They all looked.

"Uh, guys. Shouldn't we do something for my brother?" Travis and Coco were inseparable.

"Well, yeah sure..." Bandit thought for a moment. "I've got a plan!" He said.

 

                                                                                        ***

 

A few minutes later, Bandit, Tangerine and Travis were all wearing combat gear and were standing by the pond under the old bridge in the park.

Bandit had an old bike helmet on. Tangerine had a toliet roll stick, which she though would make a great megaphone and she was also wearing a pair of battered earmuffs. Travis had a large bone in his mouth.

"Okay, Tangerine. When the ghosty thing comes, you scare it into the pond with your scary-uh-beautiful voice," Bandit knew that Tangerine wouldn't help them if he insulted her.

"What?!" asked Tangerine taking off the earmuffs. Bandit went close to Tangerine's ear and yelled at the top of his lungs.

"YOU SCARE THE GHOST INTO THE POND!" He bellowed. Tangerine almost passed out. She fell to the floor, her eardrums still rattling.

"Okay, okay. Just please don't do that again, I've just washed my ears!" Tangerien rubbed her head and put the earmuffs back on.

"And what do I do with the bone?" Travis said with a mouthful of bone.

"What was that?" Bandit couldn't understand Travis with his mouth full. Travis put the bone down.

"What do I do with the bone?" He repeated.

"When the ghost falls into the pond you knock it out by throwing the bone at it. Just make sure you can find it later," Bandit licked his lips.

"I don't even believe in ghosts," Tangerine sighed. "But I guess this is for Coco's sake.

"Then I'll get Coco out with this," Bandit held up a plunger. Suddenly, another voice filled the air...Coco's.

"Good idea, Ditso. But it won't do much good for the loose threads," Coco reffered to his predicament.

"Yikes!" Travis ran away.

"Uh-Bandit. How do I know when to scare it. I can't hear anything," Tangerine took the earmuffs off again.

"Bandit...Bandit?" She looked aorund. No one was there. She looked around. She saw Coco cornering Bandit.

"Come on, Ditsy, get me outta here!" Coco pleaded. Tangeirne ran towards the lake and jumped into it to hide herself.

"Use the bone, Travis!" Bandit yelled. Travis threw the bone up into the air.

"Someone save Bandit!" He yelled. The bone suddenly fell down on Travis' head. Not Coco's. He fell to the floor, knocked out!

"I don't want a bone. I wanna get outta here!" Coco panicked. Bandit jumped at Coco. He wrestled him into the pond. After a few minutes of fighting. Tangeine, Bandit and Coco jumped out of the water. They looked into the water where the sheet was
