Dahlia sits on Luke's leg they watch Caleb talk. "Any newcomers?" He asks as they raise their hands. "Ladies, let's show our guests how we do dessert," he adds before he starts singing and everyone dances.

A girl walks up to them as they get up before she dances around them. She touches Reggie's face as he falls back causing Luke to catch him. "You good?" Alex asks as Reggie nods. Soon girls swoop Luke and Reggie as a cute boy walks up to Dahlia causing her to raise her hand. "Sorry," she says as he walks away.

"Why aren't you dancing?" Caleb asks looking at the two. "I'm looking for Willie and she probably misses Julie," Alex says pinching Dahlia's cheek as she pushes his hand away. "Dante, Ellie. Meet Alex and Dahlia. You're welcome," Caleb says as Dante and Ellie pull Alex and Dahlia away.

Soon Dahlia is back with the guys as a bell tolls. "Oh. The haunting hour is upon us," Calen says before they start playing music again and dancing. Suddenly, Dahlia looks at the clock to see it's midnight. "Guys," she says pulling them away from the girls.

"We were supposed to be at the show at nine," she says looking at Luke and Reggie. "Where's Alex?" Reggie asks looking around. "Up here," Alex says as they look up to see him from a swing like an object. "Let me help you," Dahlia says disappearing before appearing on another swing as she moves closer to Alex before jumping and grabbing his legs as the two fall down.

They get up before they run to the stairs but Caleb appears before them. "What's the rush?" He asks looking at the group. "You know that girl that can see us? We sort of bailed on her," Reggie explains. "And we gotta get there right now," Dahlia adds.

"What about my offer?" Caleb questions. "It's very cool of you, Mr. Covington-" Luke says before Dahlia cuts in. "But we have to kindly decline," she says running her fingers through her messy hair. "I understand. Oh, if you wanna come back and fix that little problem with your friend. The Hollywood Ghost Club is always open," Caleb explains. "We'd love to come back," Luke says with a smile.

"Music to my ears," Caleb says holding his hand out to them. When he shakes their hands he touches their wrists before leaving a small purple mark that fades into their skin.

"Oh, it's just a little club stamp," Caleb explains. "Cool. I've always wanted to be a part of a cult," Dahlia says with a smile. "Until next time," Caleb says before letting out a strange laugh. "Peace," Luke says before walking away. "See you around," Reggie says before letting out the same laugh as Caleb. "Later," Dahlia says before she and Reggie walk away. "That was such a cute laugh," Dahlia says smiling at Reggie.
