Part One One day there was a girl—she and her sister. Their names were Cara and Sasha. Cara thought she could climb the top of the tree, so she went to the top of the tree. Then she got kidnapped in the tree and she became a ghost and she turned very evil. She scared lots of children. The only place she can go to is the candy store. Also there was a family and the youngest, Fifi, wanted to stay the night but she didn’t know the ghost was roaming the store. She went out and got very terrified. She went and told her mother. She didn’t believe her. Then the next day the big sister wanted to go but her little sister Fifi warned her but she didn’t listen. Then when she went at night she also got terrified. She went home crying, telling her mother. Her mother waited to check it out. She went and also got terrified, but she stayed and got the ghost out and the ghost never came back. But still her sister was looking for her so she thought to die to see her sister. So then she climbed up the tree and also got kidnapped and finally found her sister at the dentist. She finally became very nice and happy but her mom and dad were very sad and very mad. So they also thought about going up into the tree so they could see their children. So they climbed up the tree and found each other and lived happily ever after.

can go throw things so they can’t go get food. They saw the boy and realized he had a shop so they did not know that he was a killer ghost. So the young one, Cara, went to the store though the other ghosts warned her. She went and got food. Everybody was surprised so then the next week Sasha came and went to go get food even though they warned her. So she came out with food. Then the killer ghost came and realized that his food was missing and asked. The people all pointed at Cara and Sasha so the killer ghost got so mad and killed the girls. The dad and mom were so mad, so they made an arrangement so he can kill them so they can be together. Then they did and died and now the family lived happily ever after.

Part ThreeWe went back to the other family. So Fifi one day had a very strange dream about the ghost that was in the candy shop. She told her mother and her sister, Mika, also told the mother. Her mother was terrified. She asked them about the dream and they said it was about a killer ghost who came and killed the family of ghosts. Her mom was very afraid because she remembered that the neighbors all got kidnapped off a tree and she was scared but she didn’t know if it was true. So she went to a man that knows ghost dreams. His name was Andrewsin and he asked them what happened. They told him about their very weird dreams and he said that it was true. They were sad but also mad because they thought that they were in the candy store and because they terrified them, they went back home to investigate more.
