Back in the cafeteria, the wedding is on its way.

And Grampy is reciting the ceremony, but in tears as he sobs and sniffles, "Idia Shroud, do you take this woman, in sickness and in health... Oh, I just can't stop from tearing up! It's all so moving!"

"Silly Grampy, how can you cry on such a happy day? If you start, then I might...

I might..." Eliza happily says and sniffles, "Oh Grampy, this will make me so happy!""

"They're really working themselves up," Jack says.

"We have to stop this wedding somehow!" Deuce says.

"But we can't move a muscle!" Sebek says.

"I'm kinda checked out, to be honest," Floyd says, "We can go once Firefly Squid smooches the bride, right? Ugh, get on with it already!"

"Agreed. My lower back is sore from being stuck in this position. Just give her the ol' smoocharoo, would you?" Lilia says.

"You heard Lilia! Make haste and 'smoocharoo' the bride!" Sebek says.

Idia cries out, "Dude, I will literally DIE if we smoocharoo. What's wrong with you people? Have you no compassion? Do you post joke comments on tragic videos online too?!"

"Oh my! We're not even done with the vows and you're already clamoring for the kiss? No need to rush. This kiss is coming soon enough, tee hee!" Eliza says with a smile.

Puffy remains silent as he watches Eliza's marriage taking place.

Back somewhere in the campus, Briar and the others reach the other Exterior Hallway on the second floor.

"Riddle and Rook are outta the picture, so that just leaves Epel and Ace. Guess that goes to show there ain't no one more dependable than me," Grim says.

"By golly, I'll show ya dependable—" Epel says, annoyed, but calms himself, "Ah, I mean, I can do this too!"

Then turns to Ace, "Come on, Ace. Let's show 'em freshmen can pull their own weight!"

"All right. We should be getting close to the cafeteria..." Ace says, but soon notices, "Whoa!"

The group stops to see more ghosts and dodge the attack.

"Tch. Dodged it, did you? You're a quick one." One of the ghosts says.

"Are you okay, Ace?!" Epel asks.

"Please. That lame-o spell was never gonna hit me," Ace says.

Then turns to the others, "Is everyone else okay?"

"We're fine," Briar says.

"That was close," Sereia says.

Grim panics, "The ghosts have already caught up!"

"Get back! I'll hold them off and..." Epel says, but soon notices, "...Wait, what?"

The ghosts remain silent.

"They're not attacking?" Briar says, confused.

And Epel says, "Why are they turning away from me?"

The ghost says, "Princesses, you must flee!"

"Princesses?" Sereia questions.

"Where?" Epel questions.

Then the ghosts say, "You young ladies have such beautiful features. You must be here to attend the ceremony, yes? Same with the young children?"

"Children?" Jasper questions.

"Does he mean us?" Tanzanite asks.

"Well we are small," Sereia says.

Trinket nods.

Briar whispers, "Uh Epel, I think they're also referring to you and me about the princess thing?"

This catches Epel off guard, "Wait, are they thinking we're princesses?"

"Epel? Beautiful?!" Ace says and tries his best not to laugh.

"Well, it's accurate because Briar is basically a princess," Jasper whispers to Tanzanite.

"Yes. And because of our size, they must think you, me, and are children," Tanzanite whispers.

The ghost says, "It's dangerous for someone as weak and frail as yourselves to be near such violent creatures! And this is no place for children as well. Please, stay behind us while—"

Epel speaks up, "Who...

"Hm?" The ghost questions.

Soon, Epel, angrily shouts, "WHO ARE YA CALLIN' WEAK?!"

The ghosts react in shock and fright, "WHOA!"

"Uh oh, they really made him mad now," Briar says, worried.

Grim yelps, "Yikes, he's like a whole 'nother person!"

Then one of the ghosts says, "Quite assertive, aren't you... Wait a minute! That's definitely a boy's voice!"

And another ghost says, "Seize him! Stop him at once!"

Then the third ghost says, "We must get the young princess and the children away from here."

"Uh oh," Sereia says.

"They're coming after us," Briar cries out.

But Epel uses his magic to stop them from taking Briar and the others away.

Epel calls out, "Keep going, guys!"

"Come again?! There's no way you can deal with that many ghosts!" Ace cries out.

"They called me weak and frail. Well, I'm not gonna take that lying down! I'll make 'em regret it!" Epel says.

"Epel..." Ace says.

"Let's trust him on this, Ace," Briar says.

"Yeah. I know Epel can handle those guys," Jasper says.

Ace laughs toward Epel, "Hah. You got a real competitive streak, don'tcha?"

"Heh heh heh," Epel says, "Go on, Ace! Get to the wedding!"

Then turns to the ghosts, "As for YOU—I'll show you who's weak!"

With that, Ace, Briar and the others run ahead to the cafeteria while Epel holds off the ghosts.
