A Visit From the Ghost of a Unicorn
Ubercorn, with guidance from Bailey, flew over to the wall separating the hallway from the room the Go Jetters slept in. Kyle, Tim, and Lily, who refused to go to bed saying that the Go Jetters' faces when they see a ghost in front of their eyes would be worth it, followed along. Peering into the room to make sure nobody was awake in there, Bailey concluded everyone was asleep. She gave Ubercorn a wave of her arm, then an indication to the inside of the room.
"Time to start," said Bailey, "you remember what to do."
"I sure do. Wish me luck." Said Ubercorn.
"Good luck." Bailey said, giving him a thumbs-up.
Ubercorn took a deep breath, and quietly, leaving only the sound of chains rattling along the ground, he phased through the wall.

The clock chimed one from across the hallway.
The Go Jetters were sound asleep, each on a separate bunk. Kyan and Xuli shared one bunk bed, while Lars and Foz shared the other. The room was engulfed in midnight silence, until it was broken by the sound of chains rattling on the ground.
"Foz, turn your alarm clock down. I'm trying to sleep." Xuli moaned, half-asleep.
"It's not me, Xuli." Foz mumbled.
"What is it nowww..?" Kyan yawned.
"Please, not another argument..." said Lars fearfully, waking up.
"It's not any of you...." a voice whispered in the air.
"What was that?!" Foz blurted, suddenly alarmed.
"Which one of you said that?!" Kyan said, looking around him.
The four teens looked around them quickly, and when they all turned to the left, they saw something that almost made them jump out of their skin.
A ghost stood there, his outfit torn and ragged, with long, snake-like chains erupting out of every part of his body. His hair -or probably mane- was purple and flowing, with a purple tail to match. He looked at them with intangible, yellow eyes as they stared back at him, concealed by shock.
"U-Ubercorn..?" Said Lars, in a quavery voice, "i-is that you..?"
"I am not this Ubercorn you speak of," said the ghost.
"Th-then who are you..?" Foz trembled.
"I am Ubercorn's Ghost. And I can merely warn you about the events that will occur in the following nights." Said the ghost.
"The next few nights..?" Kyan said.
"Correct." Said the ghost, "in the next three nights, you will be visited by four more ghosts."
"Four more..?" Said Xuli.
"Yes." Said the ghost, "the Ghosts Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come."
The Go Jetters were dumbfounded, gazing at the ghost that took form of their mentor in front of them, and informing them that they will be visited by ghosts that will probably do stranger things to them than tonight.
"That's all I can tell you now. A good night to you." Said the ghost. And with a low bow, he phased out of the room, leaving the sound of rattling chains behind as he gradually vanished, leaving the four teens alone.
"What...the heck...just happened..?" Kyan whispered.
"Please don't tell me we're role playing A Christmas Carol..." said Lars.
The four were startled about how quickly this went, as the clock said that it was 1:02.
Two minutes.
The scariest two minutes in their lives.
Yet, there were scarier minutes to come...
