## Summary

The Mystery Patrol are on vacation and encounter a cotton candy monster called the Cotton Candy Ghost

## Script

(We open on the PAW Patrol lookout where the gang are doing their own thing and Danny and Rubble are devouring a submarine sandwich and Katie finds a newspaper article)

Katie:Hey gang, look at this!

(She points to a newspaper article with the headline CARNIVAL OPENS TODAY!)

Ryder:What's so mysterious about that?

Katie:Nothing, silly. I just thought we could take the day off and have some fun.

Danny:Like we could investigate what kind of food they have!

Rubble:Yeah, food!

(Ace scans the article)

Ace:I've heard of this carnival. Isn't it the one that's supposed to be haunted?

Danny:(To Rubble)You know, Rub. Suddenly I'm not hungry anymore!

Rubble:Me neither!

Katie:Don't worry, right here it says that the carnival has new owners and is better than ever.

Ranger:That's great news, Katie.

Ryder:Then it's decided! We're going to the carnival gang!

(Rubble looked over at Danny, gulped, and nodded his head cuts to the gang at the carnival)

Ranger:Wow it looks like we're not the only ones who got the news about the carnival reopening.

Barker:Come in in and join the fun! There are thrills and chills for everyone!

Ace:Hey, look at the barker.

Danny:Golly, Rub, if he wants to bark, you could show him a thing or two!

Rubble:Yeah. (Giggles)

(They bought their tickets and went in, Ryder, Katie, and Ace went straight to the fortune-telling machine)

Ace:Hey, Ranger can you keep an eye on Shaggy and Scooby so they won't get into trouble?

Ranger:Sure.

Danny:Come on, Rub. Let's grabs some snacks.

Rubble:Yeah I'm starved. (Spots something)Hey look! Cotton candy!

Danny:Oh boy! A cotton candy machine! Lemme at it man!

Cotton Candy Salesman:Cotton candy! Get your cotton candy here folks!

Danny:We'll take some!

Rubble:Yeah!

Cotton Candy Salesman:You got it kids! Huh, the cotton candy of carnivals and amusement parks is fun. Only the Cotton Candy Ghost haunts this place.

Danny:C-C-C-Cotton Candy Ghost?

Cotton Candy Salesman:Yup, beware. (Gets cotton candy for them)Here's your cotton candy, enjoy.

Danny:W-We will.

Rubble:Yeah, we will.

(They are scared as they take the cotton candy and go over to Ranger)

Ranger:Hey guys, wow you two looked like you just seen a ghost.

Danny:No, but we just heard a story *about* a ghost.

Rubble:Yeah, and it was really creepy. But on the bright side we did get cotton candy.

Ranger:(Unsure)OooooK.

Ice Cream Man:Ice cream, get your ice cream here everybody! Get it while it's frozen. It's very tasty, really delicious.

(They eat all the cotton candy and go over to the ice cream stand and then they see a man selling churros)

Danny:Like check it out! That guy is selling churros!

(They eat the ice cream and run over)

Churros Man:(Mexican sound)Chhhuuurrros!

(They eat the churros and then go over to the popcorn and eat all of the popcorn and they run over to the hot dogs)

Danny:Like wow. Hotdogs!

Rubble:Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

(Cuts to Ranger who seems to have lost them)

Ranger:Danny, Rubble-Doo? Where are you?

(They come back with hot dogs)

Danny:We went to get hot dogs.

Rubble:Yeah, and this is one hot dog besides me!

Ranger:Let's go ride some rides.

(They walk and find a roller coaster)

Danny:Like whoa, man. Look at that ride dude! Come on, let's go!

(They got onto the ride and were on the green cars with a big yellow 13 on it and the attendant fastened them in and with a jolt the cars started to move, the cars traveled to the top of the tracks then started picking up speed)

Danny:(laughs and takes a bite of his hot dog)This isn't so bad after all!

(But Ranger wasn't laughing he spotted the roller coaster attendant pushing the lever to full speed and then hurrying away the cars were going faster and faster Rubble started to panic)

Ranger:We'll be ok going through these turns! But we'll never make that big curve! Rubble, see if you can climb down the ride to get to the controls and then we'll stop.

Rubble:O-Ok.

(Climbs down and runs to the controls and turns it off and the cars come to a halt)

Danny:Like phew. That was close man.

Ranger:Yeah I'm gonna complain to the owners about what their employee did.

(Cuts to the gang at the fortune telling machine where Ryder drops a coin in the slot and the card came out with his fortune on it and it reads BEWARE THE COTTON CANDY GHOST! HE WILL HAUNT THE ROLLAR COASTER, TUNNEL OF LOVE, DART GAME, AND SIDESHOW!

Ryder:What do you think it means?

Katie:I'm not sure.

(They decided it was nothing to worry about)

Ace:Come on, let's go have some fun.

(Ace led Katie and Ryder to the dart game the idea was to pop the balloons by throwing darts at the board she paid the man behind the counter and he handed her three darts)

Ace:I'm really good at this, stand back!

(It was lucky they did she popped the very first balloon and it was filled with bright pink paint that splattered everywhere even on Ryder's nose)

Katie:What kind of prank is this?!

(She looked around for the man behind the counter but he was gone)

(Cuts to Danny, Ranger and Rubble at the tunnel of love)

Ranger:I don't know about you guys but I'm ready for something nice and quiet.

Danny:How about the Tunnel of Love?

Ranger:I like it.

Rubble:Yeah and maybe it won't be so scary.

Danny:Like let's hope.

(They climbed into a boat and floated into the tunnel)

Ranger:It sure is dark in here.

(Suddenly they heard low, hooting sounds, and eerie lights played across the tunnel walls up ahead someone shouted)

Man:I see ghosts!

Danny:Like I don't know about you guys, but I'm creeped out! Let's beat it out of here!

(The three friends jumped from the boat and splashed their way to daylight)

(They met with the the gang outside and everyone talked about what they had seen)

Katie:Maybe the carnival really is haunted.

Ace:(Snaps her fingers)Wait a minute! Ryder, can I see your fortune again? (Shows it to her and she gets it all together)There are clues! Something's gone wrong at every place that's named-the roller coaster, the Tunnel of Love, and the dart game. The only one left is the sideshow! Come on, let's check it out!

(They went into the tent with Rubble and Danny hanging back expecting disaster at every turn the first thing they saw was a boa constrictor dancing to the music of a snake charmer)

Danny:(Shaky)Like what's so charming about that?

(Next to the snake charmer were a husband and wife sword swallower and fire eater named Mr. and Mrs. Gullet)

Mr, Gullet:My job is harder than your job!

Mrs. Gullet:Is not!

Mr. Gullet:Is so!

Mrs. Gullet:Is not!

(Mr. Gullet spun around and picked Danny out of the crowd)

Mr. Gullet:Tell her my job is harder.

(He says that waving the sword in Danny's face causing him to gulp)

Danny:Like, you've got a point there.

(Suddenly there was a cloud of smoke and out stepped a humanoid blob of light blue cotton candy with a twirl red and white stripped cone on his head)

Cotton Candy Ghost:I am the Cotton Candy Ghost!

(Ace elbows Ryder whispering)

Ace:Jinkies, that's the guy in your fortune.

Ranger:And he's also the guy the cotton candy vender waned us about.

Ace:He must part of the show

Ryder:I don't think so. (Points to the other performers)They look as scared as we are.

Cotton Candy Ghost:I wan you, disaster will strike this carnival and everyone in it. Run, run before it is too late!

(Then the Cotton Candy Ghost vanished in a large cloud of smoke)

(Before anyone could say a word, there was a creaking sound overhead Ryder looked up and yelled)

Ryder:The tent it's coming down!

(A few minutes later, Rubble and his friends stood beside the collapsed tent the rest of the crowd was running wildly towards the exit)

Katie:Now what do we do?

Danny:Let's eat!

Rubble:Yeah, eat.

Ryder:I've got a better idea. Let's split up and look for clues.
