Far away, in the land of Krimo, there is a girl named Julie. Now Julie was home babysitting her two little sisters, Mary and Mandy. They were twins who were 5. Julie herself was 14. They lived in a spooky old house, and it was (on top of that), Halloween . Mary and Mandy (also called M&M) were really freaked out about their parents going to a party on Halloween, and they have to stay all by themselves (well, Julie was there of course..). So they made Julie go out and double lock the , and they made her check for a . She finally got them to calm down when she gave them both a bag of and put on a . But she was a bit freaked out herself, so she went outside to check the one last time. The lock was secure, so she went back to the house, but the door was locked. She tugged on the handle, but it wouldn't open. She ran to the window, and M&M were just sitting there watching their and eating their . Julie thought rationally, "Maybe I jus! t locked myself out of the house, no big deal.." She tapped on the window and told Mary to go unlock the door. Mandy followed her to the door, but all Julie could hear from the other side was a shreak from mary. Mandy ran to the window and said, "Mary says the handle is hot. Very hot. Her hand is red and the handle is melting." Julie was scared now, she could swear that she heard footsteps behind her, but she ignored it. She ran to the door and told Mary to go run her hand under cold water. She stepped back almost to the and closed her eyes, trying to remember those karate lessons. She ran as fast as she could toward the window and did a jump-kick smack into it. The glass shattered, but she was inside. She looked at the handle and noticed that something was definately wrong. She ran into the kitchen as Mary was drying her hand off with Mandy sitting on the counter. Julie asked if they were okay, but they didn't say anything. They were too intent on something behind her. J! ulie said, "It's a figure of your imagination, you two." Mary shook her head and said, "!" Julie whirled around, and lo and behold, there it was.. a ! Her eyes went wide as she heard keys rattling in the door. Her parents were home! She was about to cry out in thankfullness, but the looked like it was about to cry. Mary went over and hugged it and the said, "My name's Gwestie. I'm not going to hurt you.. but your parents.." Julie said, "BOO!" as loud as she could and the got scared out of it's wits. It dissapeared and Julie grabbed a glass of ice-cold water. She splashed it on the handle and it went back to normal, as she ran back over as fast as she can and got Mandy and Mary to sit down and make it look like they had been watching a . Their parents finally got the door open as Julie leaned down and told her two sisters, "Nothing ever happened, okay?" They both shook their head, "Yes". Julie looked up just in time to see a little happy p! utting the window back together. Julie smiled and mouthed the words, "Thank you". Ever since then they've talked to each other occasionally. When Mary or Mandy couldn't get to sleep, Gwestie would come out and tell them it was all okay. He could do just about everything, and in hide-and-go-seek, he knew EVERY good hiding spot. They became best friends, that is.. until someone got the bright idea to invent BUSTERS........
