"The thing is..." Ortho begins to say, and shouts, "IDIA'S BEEN KIDNAPPED BY GHOSTS!"

Crowley and Grim react in shock, "WHAAAT?!"

"Kidnapped?!" Briar and Sereia say in shock.

And Jasper and Tanzanite react the same shock, "By ghosts?!

"That's what I'm telling you!" Ortho says, " Here, I've got some footage to show you. The campus security cameras recorded it last night."

He then begins to project the security footage for everyone to see.

Crowley is not happy to hear it, " Now, hold on! You can't just hack our security system and access whatever you please!"

But Ortho says, " Shh, be quiet! I'm playing it now."

Everyone remains quiet and watches the footage being played.

Apparently, last night, Idia is walking down Main Street.

Idia says to himself, " I preordered the latest volume of my favorite manga online, but it didn't come on time! It was the special edition with the autograph card too! So much for my day one nerd cred. Well, no one's out this late. Might as well hit up the school store and pick up a copy—"

Suddenly, he hears a voice, " ...lly..."

"Huh?" Idia reacts in shock and looks around, "Who's there?"

The voice appears again, "I've finally...found you..." And then someone appears right in front of him, " MY PRINCE!"

Standing in front of him is a female who has light blue skin, blue lips, and is dressed like a bride, wedding veil, dress, makeup, accessories, everything.

India screams in shock and fright, "GYAAAAAAH!"

That is when the footage ends.

Everyone in the office is shocked to see Idia has come face to face with an actual ghost.

" ... Was that...?" Grim asks.

"The Ghost Bride?" Sereia adds.

"I'm afraid so," Crowley says, distressed, " Dear, oh dearie me. It would appear the Ghost Bride has found her perfect husband at last!"

"What?!" Everyone reacts in shock.

Grim asks, "Yer sayin' IDIA'S perfect husband material?! Last I checked, he wasn't like any storybook prince I'd ever seen. He's all slouchy, never leaves his room, he's got that apathetic look goin' on, not to mention his creepy smile..." But something hits him, "...Wait a second."

Crowley begins thinking as he says, "Tall, nonchalant, 'healthy' skin that's never exposed to UV rays, lidded eyes...and I suppose ' charming' is ONE way to describe his smile.

His hair is literally aflame, so it could be considered bright and shimmering, and blue lips certainly qualify as 'arresting.' Though an admittedly liberal interpretation, it could be argued he meets the ghost's criteria."

"In other words, Idia is practically the ghost bride's type of prince," Briar says.

" Yep, Idia's clearly the coolest guy around," Ortho says, and grows serious, "Curse that ghost and her discerning taste!"

" Somehow I ain't convinced," Grim says.

"I don't think it matters at this point," Tanzanite says.

"You're right. Idia is in serious trouble," Briar says

"Regardless, the situation has taken a rather grave turn. Being chosen by the Ghost Bride means—" But before Crowley can finish.

Someone shouts, "We've got trouble!"

Along with loud noises coming from out of the office.

"Goodness, just listen to that ruckus outside," Crowley says.

"What's going on?" Jasper asks.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Briar says.

Everyone soon rushes out of the office and into the interior hallway.

"What is this infernal racket?!" Crowley asks.

Soon, Ace and Deuce run towards them in the hall.

" Headmage!" Ace calls out, but notices Briar and the others, "Ah, and Briar and the rest of you! We got a situation on our hands!"

"What's going on?" Briar asks.

"Some strange ghosts we've never seen barged into the cafeteria and declared they were turning it into a wedding venue," Deuce answers, "They tried to take the place over. We fought back of course, but they just revived every time we beat them."

Suddenly, they hear shouting, "STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Everyone turns to see Sebek, Lilia, and Silver running towards them from the hall, with the ghosts on their tail.

"All I did was tease them a little, and they got all bent out of shape. Those ghosts need a thicker skin," Lilia says.

Ace cries out, "Ugh, seriously?! Why'd you Diasomnia guys lead the ghosts in here?"

Sebek shouts, "How DARE you take such an aggressive tone with Lilia. If you refuse to learn your place, I'll send you packing!"

And begins to use his magic on the ghosts.
