Arabella's POV

Jasper and I went to Henry's house to help him clean up the awful mess from the party his father threw last night. Charlotte, unfortunately, wasn't here, she was in vacation with her family for a few days and won't be back until tomorrow. Henry enlisted help from my dad, Mary, and Schwoz, who were in the Man Cave and they sent over Schwoz's Super Sucker to help him clean up the mess in a fast and easy way. They didn't come over, Schwoz used his launch machine to launch the vacuum over to Henry's house.

I walked into Henry's house with Jasper and we saw him using the Super Sucker while listening to music. I went up to him and tapped his shoulder, making him turn to me.

"Henry-" I got caught off by Henry pointing the sucker at me and I felt my body dissolve as I got sucked into it. "AHHHH!"

Third Person POV

Henry yelped out when he saw his girlfriend get sucked into the Super Sucker and dropped it out of pure shock and fear.

"OH MY GOD!"

"AH!! GIVE ME BACK MY FRIEND!" Jasper yelled at the machine and began to hit it with a golf club.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Hey!" Henry called out and Jasper looked up yelling at him. "Beating it won't help!"

"Then what are we supposed to do?!" Jasper asked with panic.

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Bella shouted from inside the Super Sucker.

"WE DON'T KNOW HOW! WE'RE FREAKING OUT!" Jasper shouted back.

"Okay, okay, okay," Henry exhaled in a calm voice. "We just need to calm down and deal with fact that Airy, my own freaking girlfriend, just got sucked in a black hokey thingy and is in that vacuum and I don't know what else to do! Let's just beat it!"

The boys began to beat the vacuum with all their might and Bella, who was inside the vacuum, groaned.

"Seriously? That's what you're gonna do?!" She yelled out. "How is this helping me?! I wish Charlotte was here!"

——

"You guys?!" Bella called out, "where am I? It's hot, I'm surrounded by trash, and it smells awful!"

"Did that thing send you to my house?" Jasper asked.

"Hey, there's a switch here that says 'unsuck'" Henry pointed to the vacuum. "Let's turn it on and see if we can get her out."

Henry pressed the switch and the vacuum vibrated vigorously, until it broke and the filter fell off.

"What was that?!" Bella asked them, "did the vacuum just break?!"

"Uh... no! Nothing broke, honey!" Henry denied and leaned toward Jasper, "oh my god! It just broke!"

Jasper nodded.

"Is Henry doing that thing where he says something loud and then quietly says the opposite?" Bella asked.

"No! No I'm not!" Henry protested and leaned toward Jasper, "that's exactly what I'm doing."

"Okay, we've got to get her out of this thing," Jasper concluded as Henry's family came down the stairs together.

"Yes! Get me out of this thing!" Bella agreed.

"I don't know how! But I'm gonna figure out a way to get you out of there, okay?!" Henry declared.

"You better!" Bella snapped, "I'm sick of being trapped in here!"

"What the whole truck of butts is going on?!" Piper asked and Henry yelled, backing away from her and his parents.

"Okay, people have got to stop sneaking up behind me," Henry mentioned.

"Were you just talking to that vacuum cleaner?" Mrs. Hart asked her son.

"Well, um..."

"Can you not hear me?!" Bella screamed, "SHOULD I TALK LOUDER?!!!"

"No!" The boys protested and Jasper kicked the vacuum.

"Henry, what is going on?" Mrs. Hart asked Henry.

"Um...." Henry began, "see, I was vacuuming, with this vacuum."

"That's not our vacuum," Mrs. Hart objected.

"Yeah, where'd that come from?" Piper asked him.

"Yeah, it came from the, um-"

"And why is it talking?" Piper added.

"Because it's um..."

"Hello?!" Bella called out.

"Oh. My. God!" Mr. Hart gasped, "that vacuum is haunted!"

"Yes!" Henry agreed.

"So haunted!" Jasper nodded.

"There is a ghost inside that vacuum!" Henry concluded, "I'm just as surprised as you are!"

"So surprised!" Jasper added.

"Ghost aren't real," Piper protested.

"What's going on out there?!" Bella called and the family gasped.

"I told you!"

"No way!"

"Okay, ghost! Henry's mom, dad, and sister just found out that-that you're here... in a vacuum!" Jasper announced to Bella, "being a ghost."

"Uh-huh," Henry nodded.

"Seriously?" Bella asked them with disbelief.

"Yes!" Henry exclaimed, "they seriously know that you're a ghost inside a vacuum because that is the only possible explanation for what is going on here!"

Bella groaned and pretended to make scary ghost sounds, "oh! I'm a ghost!"

Henry's parents yelled in fear.

"I want that haunted vacuum out of my house right now!" Mrs. Hart exclaimed out of fear.

"I'll go throw off the new Jandy Bridge!" Mr. Hart remarked.

"Yes!"

"No!" Henry quickly protested.

"Then we'll burn it!" Mrs. Hart declared.

"No! Don't burn it!" Bella objected, "that's a terrible idea!"

"Well, now we're definitely gonna burn it," Mr. Hart nodded reaching down to grab it. Henry and Jasper protested against him and Mrs. Hart with Bella screaming out.

"No! Stop! That vacuum is gold!" Piper told them, "pure internet gold, you get me?"

"Girl's got a point," Bella agreed. "I'm gold, baby."

"We hire a ghost hunter to come here and then we record them yanking the ghost out of the vacuum!" Piper explained.

"Um..." Henry trailed off.

"Yeah, um..." Jasper repeated.

"We'll have the first proof that ghosts exist," Piper continued. "We put that up on the web?"

"We'll be famous!" Mr. Hart gasped.

"We'll be better than famous, we will be internet famous," Piper explained. "And that is the longest lasting fame that there is!"

"I'll finally be able to quit my new job," Mr. Hart smiled.

"I'll look up local ghost hunters, I'm sure there's plenty," Mrs. Hart told them and took out her phone.

"Uh, or! Or! Or! Or!" Henry interrupted.

"Or what?!" Piper asked him.

"If you just let me finish," Henry bitterly told his sister, "or... we can call my boss and his girlfriend, Mary."

"Why would we call your boss and his girlfriend?" Mrs. Hart asked Henry.

"Are they ghost hunters?" Mr. Hart asked.

"Yep."

"Are they?" Jasper asked.

"Yep!"

"Well, I don't see them listed on this website of licensed Swellview Ghost Hunters," Mrs. Hart told them, looking at her phone.

"That's because they're amateurs!" Henry jumped in, "so, they'll do it for free, ya know just for the experience!"

"Free," Mr. Hart smiled. "Daddy like."

"Fine! Just get them over here!" Piper groaned as Henry ran to the front door.

"Yeah, I'm calling them right now, don't tell me how to live my life, Piper, okay?" Henry remarked, before going outside onto his porch.

Mr. Hart bent down and tapped the vacuum, "hey, ghost. What's it like being dead?"

"Um....fine I guess," Bella told him.

"I knew it!"

——

Henry called Ray and Mary and they came over to Henry's house. Ray used Schwoz's launching system as Mary just drove over to Henry's house, because she's pregnant and it wouldn't be the smartest idea to launch her through the sky with a growing baby inside her belly. Schwoz was gonna eventually come over and fix the broken vacuum, so they can get Bella out of it. Piper, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, Ray, and Mary were sat on the couch with the lights off and candles were lit around the place with Piper's phone set up to record the entire thing.

"Okay, attention spans are short, so I want that ghost out of that suck box in five!" Piper ordered, sitting next to her mother on the couch.

"Henry," Mr. Hart said his son, who was picking up the broken vacuum pieces. "Get over here and participant."

"Oh yeah, I'm still cleaning up, remember the chore wheel?" Henry reminded his father.

"Wow," Mrs. Hart gasped. "Was that today?"

"Yeah, mom," Henry responded. "And, uh, just gonna dump these vacuum parts in the upstairs trash can, cuz it's my favorite one. Don't ask questions, bye!"

Henry rushes upstairs with the broken vacuum parts.

"I'm picking up a message!" Ray suddenly said and everyone looked at him. "The ghost is telling me that Mary should scoot closer to me and allow me to kiss her adorable baby bump?"

Mary blushed bright red and chuckled, "really?"

"Do it, Mary!" Mr. Hart smiled.

"I never said that," Bella told them as Mary scooted closer and allowed Ray to gently kiss her baby bump. "But I'll allow it!"

Mary smiled at her boyfriend and he smiled back at her, rubbing her baby bump.

"It must've been a different ghost," Ray stated.

"So, there's more then one ghost in there?" Jasper asked Ray.

"Sure," Ray nodded and Mr. and Mrs. Hart gasped. "Let's hear from a different ghost."

"Okay," Bella sighed. "I'm a different ghost! What's up!!!!"

The Hart family was shocked and Piper smiled, "this couple is legit!"

Mary and Ray smiled together.

——

Henry walked into his room with the vacuum parts and Schwoz was behind him wearing a shower cap and a bathrobe.

"Schwoz! Where are you? Are you-" Henry called and Schwoz kicked the door shut. "AH!"

"You got the smashed pieces?" Schwoz asked Henry, who was shocked by his presence.

"Is that my dad's robe?" Henry asked him.

"I got bored and took a shower," Schwoz remarked.

"What if my parents saw you?" Henry asked him.

Schwoz laughed, "that would've been hilarious!"

"Bella's the only one who's allowed to take a shower here," Henry told him, before sighing and setting down parts. "Just... here are your smashed pieces."

"Oh, I'm gonna need some tools," Schwoz mentioned, before walking by Henry.

"Tools? Um, okay, I guess I can sneak into my garage and get my dad's toolbox-" Henry shrugged right as Schwoz opened a secret compartment and pulled out his own toolbox.

"Relax, I got it!" Schwoz grinned and opened the toolbox.

"Schwoz, did you hide your toolbox in my bedroom?" Henry asked Schwoz.

"You want me to answer that question or fix the vacuum?" Schwoz asked Henry.

"Both, Schwoz!"

"I thought you wouldn't mind cuz Bella hides stuff here all the time," Schwoz shrugged.

"She's my girlfriend," Henry reasoned. "It makes sense."

"Better not let Ray find out what she's hiding here or in her dresser," Schwoz smirked with a chuckle and Henry became bright red out of embarrassment.

"Just fix the dang vacuum!"

——

~Downstairs~

"Ah, yes," Ray smiled as he rubbed Mary's baby bump. "The spirits definitely want me to keeping rubbing your baby bump.

Mary giggled and smiled at her boyfriend sweetly.

"Fascinating!" Mr. Hart grinned and Jasper rolled his eyes.

"Are there any ghosts from Japan in there?" Mrs. Hart asked the vacuum or Bella.

"Maybe there is," Mary shrugged. "Ray and I can get you any ghost you want."

"I don't think ya can," Bella protested.

"We'd like to hear from the Japanese ghost," Ray told the vacuum or Bella.

Bella sighed, "Konnichiwa."

"Okay, enough!" Piper sighed with impatience and stood up to stop the recoding, "we are not paying you two to talk to ghosts!"

"You're not paying us at all," Ray remarked.

"Look, I'm gonna hit record again, but this time I wanna see one of you rip one of those ghosts right out of that vacuum," Piper explained to the couple, "you got me?"

"Yeah, yeah, in a couple minutes, in the mean time, who wants to hear from Jamaican Superstar, Sean Paul?!" Ray asked everyone and Mr and Mrs. Hart gasped with excitement.

"Babe," Mary began with a grin.

"Dude," Jasper said.

"I'm not actually dead yet," Bella told them in a fake Jamaican accent.

"Yeah, he's still alive," Piper added.

"Huh?" Ray asked and Mary rolled her eyes.

——

~Upstairs~

"Dude, did you hide anything else in my room?" Henry asked Schwoz, who was fixing the vacuum parts.

Schwoz scoffed, "why would I only hide one thing?"

Jasper's head peeked into the room, "Schwoz, are you close? Ray and Mary are dying down there and Bella's running out of ghost voices."

Jasper opened the door fully and Bella can be heard downstairs doing a country voice.

"Yee-haw! I'm Janie, the dead cowgirl! You can't see me, but I'm riding a pretty ghost pony, y'all!"

Jasper shut the door and looked at the two boys.

"Wait, Janie the Cowgirl's not dead," Schwoz objected.

"Just, did you fix the vacuum piece or not?" Henry asked him and Schwoz stood up with the fixed piece.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just finished," Schwoz handed Henry the piece. "Now, go downstairs and when no one is looking-"

"Ah, this thing is getting kind of hot, dude," Henry mentioned, noticing the heat from the vacuum part.

"Yeah, the pieces were to smashy for me to fix the cooling system," Schwoz informed him.

"What? So, it's gonna get hotter than this?" Henry asked him and tossed the machine to Jasper.

"Yeah, and eventually it will melt or catch fire and Bella will be stuck in the vacuum until I can order a new one from China," Schwoz exclaimed as Jasper tossed the part back over to Henry.

"What?" Henry asked as he tossed it back to Jasper, "how much time do we have?"

"Like four minutes, unless you drop it on the ground or something," Schwoz told him.

"Too hot!" Jasper exclaimed and dropped the part on the ground.

"You have two minutes," Schwoz corrected and Jasper grinned sheepishly.

——

Jasper and Henry were now tossing the part back and forth, confused on what to do and neither of them wanted the over heating part.

"What are you doing? Stop playing Taco Taco Turkey and put that back on the vacuum downstairs!" Schwoz explained to the two with panic

"Yeah, well, how are we supposed to when it's so-Hot!" Henry yelped when he caught it and tossed it back to Jasper.

Jasper panicked and placed it on Henry's bed, "no, dude! Don't put it on my bed!"

"It's too hot!" Jasper exclaimed and he and Henry began to argue about it.

Schwoz pulled out his remote and used it to open a photo frame on the wall to reveal a pair of oven mittens stashed inside a secret compartment.

Schwoz walked over and pulled them out as Henry and Jasper stopped arguing.

"Use these oven mittens," Schwoz told Henry, handing them to him and he and Jasper were confused.

"How many thing do have in my room, dude?" Henry asked Schwoz.

Schwoz laughed and patted Henry's chest, "wouldn't you like to know!"

"YES!" Henry exclaimed.

Schwoz pulled out his remote and pointed it at another picture on the wall. It opened up to reveal a soda fountain with Schwoz's face on it.

"You only have ninety seconds before that part melts and Bella is stuck in that vacuum for forty-six weeks while I wait for the part to arrive from China!" Schwoz explained as he walked over to the soda fountain and got himself a cup of soda from it.

"Soda fountain?" Henry asked with confusion, "dude, that takes pipes and and plumbing and when did you do all this?!"

"Eighty-five, eighty-four," Schwoz began to count and the two boys rushed to head downstairs.

Jasper opened the door as Henry put on the mittens, "let's go!"

"Ahhhh!" Henry yelled as he grabbed the vacuum and rushed downstairs with Jasper.

——

Jasper peeked his head downstairs to see Mr. Hart speaking time the vacuum or Bella about William Shakespeare.

"So, what you're saying ghost of William Shakespeare is that writers are garbage an actors are the real heroes?" Mr. Hart asked as Henry and Jasper quietly descended the stairs.

"Most definitely!" Bella spoke in a fake accent, "actors are the real heroes!"

Mr. Hart smiled with success as Mrs. Hart, Piper, Mary, and Ray agreed with Bella or the vacuum.

"Dude, they're too close to the Super Sucker," Henry told Jasper. "How are we supposed to get this thing on the back of the vacuum without anyone seeing me?"

"I have a plan to make them close their eyes," Jasper told him.

"Don't take your pants off," Henry remarked.

"Okay, I have another plan to make them close their eyes," Jasper repeated. "EVERYBODY CLOSE YOUR EYES!"

Henry stared at him in shock as Jasper ran downstairs, "what are you doing-"

Henry leaped over the railing and landed on the ground to hide himself from everyone.

"Close your eyes! It's important that you close your eyes!" Jasper yelled frantically to them, "close your eyes! Listen to me, but don't look at me because your eyes should be closed!"

"What are you talking about?" Piper asked him as Ray and Mary shared a look and then turned their heads to see Henry behind the counter with the vacuum part.

"Uh..." Jasper began.

"No, Jasper's right! Everybody close your eyes!" Ray agreed.

"The ghost is ready to come out!" Mary added.

"Which on? William Shakespeare? Janie the Cowgirl? The Japanese ghost that could only say 'konichiwa'?" Mr. Hart asked the two as Henry crawled on the floor and over to the Super Sucker.

"Yeah, I've thought she be able to say more than just that!" Mrs. Hart agreed.

"Just everybody close your eyes," Ray sighed with irritation.

"But I don't wanna close my eyes, I wanna see the ghost come out!" Piper protested.

"If you don't close your eyes, the ghost will steal your soul!" Mary warned Piper and Ray nodded

"No way," Pipe scoffed.

"Yes, way!" Bella exclaimed, "I will steal your soul! NOW JUST CLOSE YOUR DANG EYES, PIPER!"

Piper gasped, "it knows my name!"

"I ALSO KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! NOW JUST CLOSE YOUR DANG EYES!" Bella screamed in a deep and haunting voice making everyone scared and hold hands with their eyes closed, minus Ray and Mary.

Jasper motioned Henry over and he quickly placed the parts back on the vacuum.

"Okay, now, uh, everyone keep yours eyes shut!" Ray instructed the Hart Family, "until we tell you to open them. That's right keep them closed!"

Henry successfully attached the part onto the machine and he and Jasper smiled brightly. Suddenly, Henry's mittens caught on fire and he yelped as he tried to put it out.

"What was that?!" Mrs. Hart asked as Henry got up and moved away with Jasper trying to put it out.

"It's the ghost!" Mary responded, "we're bringing it out now. Just keep your eyes closed until we tell you to open them!"

Ray used this foot to turn on the unsuck switch and a large blast of wind blasted them in the face. Mary let go of Ray's hand and he wraps his arm around her protectively. The Hart family began to scream out of fear as they felt the weird blast them and it only got stronger as the trash and objects were released from the Super Sucker. Henry and Jasper looked over and shielded themselves from the wind and flying objects.

"Don't open your eyes!" Ray shouted as he held Mary close and shielded her as much as he can.

Eventually, Bella came flying out of the Super Sucker and Henry immediately reacted and caught her in his arms. She yelled out as Henry held her and she exhaled with absolute exhaustion and shock. Henry let her go and she stumbled back.

"Yes!" Bella silently cheered, not caring about her tattered clothes, her crazy hair, or the fact that she was just inside a vacuum.

Henry smiled at the sight of his girlfriend and Bella turned to see her father, Mary, and the rest of the Harts.

"Uh...don't open your eyes! There could still be ghosts in there!" Ray warned them as Bella rushed toward the front door and fled from the scene.

The vacuum eventually stopped and Henry zapped Piper's phone, so the video would be deleted. The vacuum started to make a loud noise that got louder and louder and Ray and Mary looked at Jasper and Henry with worry.

Ray shielded Mary with his body as the vacuum suddenly exploded and she yelped, holding his shoulders tightly when she felt the explosion.

Everyone opened their eyes and saw the huge mess from the Super Sucker that exploded. Ray pulled away from Mary and rubbed her belly.

"You okay?" He asked Mary, who nodded.

"I think so," she told him and he kissed her head.

"Is it over?" Mrs. Hart asked as her family was recovering from the explosion and they had dust all over their faces.

"Are the ghosts gone?" Mr. Hart asked and Piper ran over to her phone.

"What happened to my phone?" She asked and took it out of the tripod.

"Those are all great questions," Ray began as he stood up and helped Mary to her feet. "But, we're actually late for our next... ghost thingy."

The two headed for the door and Ray picked up his red backpack as Mary grinned at them, opening the door.

"So, this house!" Mary began as she and Ray stepped outside.

"Is clean!" The two say together and shut the door.

"Uh... the ghosts are gone!" Henry smiled sheepishly, "that's good!"

"No, it's not!" Piper protested, "my phone is fried, so I don't have any video of the ghost!"

"The house is even dirtier then it was before!" Mrs. Hart cried as she reluctantly moved a dust bunny off the couch, "who's gonna clean this up?"

Mr. Hart snapped his fingers and stood up, "I evoke! The Chore Wheel!"

All of the Harts and Jasper gasped in sync.

"Dad, you fool!"

Up Next: I Dream of Danger🙃💕

Title will be alternated to fit the chapter☺️😏

I feel like this chapter sucked, but that's just my opinion. The next chapter will be great though and you won't expect who it will be about.

Take a guess on who you think the two people are and see if you're right😉💕

Starting today, my summer dance classes begin along with my summer college class. I only have one college class and it's online so it won't be difficult to handle, but it's my dance classes that will be hectic. I have classes on Monday through Friday until the end of summer and not to mention my annual dance recital is at the end of July due to the virus thing, so I'll be busy and updates may slow down for the time being. Still gonna try and update, but it probably won't be as fast. My longest day is Monday and I have dance from 12:15 pm all the way to about 7:00 pm and then it takes me about an hour to get home from the studio. So, it's about an eight hour day for me and I'll be exhausted lol, but the other days aren't as long thankfully. Just about four to five hours, nothing terrible. Gonna try my best to update along with handling my busy schedule with dance and my college class :)
