Muncher speeds to the mountain, the kids not that far behind. 

"I'm in range." Podcast announces, once the trap was underneath Muncher.

Phoebe looks down at the lever next to her. She grabs it, readying herself.

Y/N notices. "Be careful, Pheebs."

She nods and pulls the lever, her seat returning to the outside of the car. Podcast pulls down the goggles he wore while Phoebe aims her gun. She powers it up and shoots, the beam successfully wrapping around Muncher, who squeals in protest.

"She got him!" Trevor yells, slapping the wheel in celebration. Soon, he notices a bridge coming up on them. "Whatever we're doing, we have to do it now!"

Podcast flips up a cover and presses the button that laid underneath it. The trap in front of them opens up and starts sucking Muncher down into it. Once Muncher was down far enough, Phoebe let's go of Muncher.

Muncher claws at the air, desperate to not get trapped, but ends up failing. The trap gives a little bounce once Muncher was successfully trapped.

All the kids begin to cheer, Y/N slapping Podcast's shoulder.

"Bridge!" Phoebe screams, instantly pulling the lever and getting back in the car. She got in just in time, the side of the bridge scraping the inside of the car door. Once through the bridge, the door slams shut.

Trevor hits the brake pedal, still screaming. The car turns a bit, kicking up a lot of dirt as it eventually come to a full stop.

The four kids all share a look before rushing out of the car.

"What was that?" Trevor yells as Phoebe, Podcast, and Y/N come up to him and the trap. Phoebe gives his hand a high five. Trevor holds his hand out to Y/N for a high five, only for them to just pulls him into a big hug.

"I think we just caught a ghost." Phoebe answers, winded.

They all watch as the dust settles and the trap fizzes with electricity for a moment.

Podcast follows Y/N's actions and hugs Phoebe. She lets out a noise of slight discomfort and Podcast steps away, giving a small "sorry."

Y/N smiles at the two younger ones and turns back to Trevor, who was looking up at the mountain. "What?"

"We were here last night." He mentions.

"Yeah, what's your point?" Y/N asks.

"What are the odds that an actual ghost tried to get to the same spot that we saw whatever was in that hole?" Trevor explains.

It slowly dawns on Y/N what Trevor was saying. "Oh."

===

"Does any of this bother you?" Trevor asks, trying to be quiet enough so that only Y/N could hear. Y/N shrugs. Well, shrugged as best as they could being squished in the front seat with three other people.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asks.

"Dude, your grandfather was a legend." Podcast says. "You can literally be anything you want. Like an influencer. Or a DJ."

Y/N makes a face. "I don't think he was that famous."

"He fought ghosts, dude!" Podcast replies. "What's cooler than that?"

"I guess I just thought it was easier when he went nuts." Trevor says.

"He didn't go nuts." Phoebe instantly defends.

"Exactly, so why did he leave mom?" Trevor asks.

"Oh that's what you're talking about." Y/N says. "I thought you were talking about ghosts being real."

"Well, that too." Trevor answers. "Who knows what kinds of ghosts have like... i don't know, seen me shower or something."

Y/N lets out a small snicker. "I'm sure no ghost would want to see that."

Suddenly, a siren sounds from behind them and red and blue lights start flashing. Trevor's eyes widen. "Oh, we're screwed. We're so screwed."

"What do we do?" Phoebe asks in a panic.

"I saw we fight." Podcast says darkly.

"What?" Y/N turns to look at Podcast with wide eyes. "You think we can take on a cop??"

"Oh my god, no. Y/N was there anything useful in the glove box?" Trevor asks.

"Shit, I don't remember." Y/N opens the glove box, only to find all the papers were useless.

The cop walks up to the car and knocks on the window. Trevor takes a deep breath and rolls the window down.

"License and registration."

===

"We were on this mountain, then Y/N and I went on this old, rusty, mining cage." Trevor explains to the two younger kids. "All of a sudden, it started shaking, like an earthquake. And there were lights... and then i looked down in this giant hole and inside of it, like, right in the middle of it, there was... either a person or a reptile- Are you even paying attention right now?" Trevor asks Podcast, who was looking around the place with a grin.

"Yeah." Podcast nods. "I'm just... excited we're in jail."

Y/N lets out a laugh.

"I thought I heard something say 'Gozer.'" Trevor finishes.

"These two idiots speak the truth. I was there." A voice says from the jail next to them.

Everyone looks to see Lucky stand up and walk over to the bars separating the cells.

Y/N gives Lucky a confused look, standing up in front of her. "Lucky? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing. Ditching hanging out with me and you end up in jail. Pretty bad ass." Lucky smirks and pushes Y/N's shoulder through the bars.

"Okay, I didn't ditch you, first off." Y/N rolls their eyes with a smile. "Second, why are you in a cell? You're dad literally wo-"

"Lucky." A man says. "Stop messing with my inmates."

Lucky slowly smiles. "Sorry, dad." She walks out of her cell, closing the door behind her. "Hopefully see you two at work tomorrow."

"Haha, very funny." Y/N laughs sarcastically.

"Bye." Trevor waves to Lucky.

"Hey, don't we get a phone call?" Phoebe asks the officer.

"Sure you do." He answers, walking toward Phoebe. "Who you gunna call?"

===

Y/N yawns and lays their head on Trevor's shoulder, closing their eyes. Trevor tenses up a bit, looking all around the room for something to distract himself. He catches Podcasts eyes, who had a shit eating grin.

Podcast wiggles his eyebrows and looks from Y/N to Trevor. He makes a motion with his hands and mouths the word "breathe."

Trevor takes a deep breath, trying to not move much and show Y/N how he was freaking out.

Podcast gives a thumbs up and then hangs his arm in the air. Trevor looks at him confused. Podcast rolls his eyes then points to Y/N, and hangs his arm in the air again. Trevor's eyes widen and he slowly shakes his head. Podcast nods with a big smile. 

The two sit there for a moment just moving their heads in silence when Trevor remembers something.

"Hey, Y/N?" Trevor says softly, just incase Y/N had already fallen asleep. They give a small hum. "What happened to the twinkie you found earlier?"

Y/N didn't say anything for a few moments. "So you know that theory about how twinkies are immortal?"

"Yeah?"

"That's not true." Y/N admits.

Trevor's mouth opened a bit in shock. "Are you kidding me?"

Y/N starts laughing and lifts their head off Trevor's shoulder. "No, I'm sorry."

"Y/N, that is so gross!" Trevor exclaims.

"Wait, you ate a twinkie that was sitting in a car for years?" Podcast asks.

"Yeah." Y/N says, brining a hand up to cover their face.

Phoebe comes back from the phone call and gets let back in the cell.

"Anyone else need a phone call?" Lucky's dad asks. Everyone stays quiet. "Didn't think so. Y/N, your dad is here."

Y/N yawns and stands up. "See you tomorrow, Trev. Bye Phoebe and Podcast."

A chorus of goodbyes comes from the three.

The officer leads Y/N out to the front desk where Y/N's dad stood there, leaning on the counter. He notices his child yawning and gives a mocking smile. "A night of crime wear you out?"

"Can we just go home already?" Y/N mumbles. 

Their dad finishes signing the papers and follows his kid outside. He grabs their arm and pulls them to a stop.
"What were you thinking? That was dangerous."

"It wasn't at first, Dad. It was just me and Trevor fixing a car and then things got carried away and we trapped a ghost!" Y/N says, excited to tell their dad.

He just stares. "Right. A ghost." Y/N sighs. "Listen, maybe you shouldn't be hanging out with these kids." Y/N's face instantly shoots up to glare at their dad. "They're the dirt farmer's family. You know the stories about him."

"Yeah, and that's all they are. Stories. They're not true what so ever." Y/N says firmly, pulling their arm out of their dad's grasp and continuing to the car.
