## Script

(We open on daytime in Adventure Bay where the PAW Patrol are helping city hall get the New Years Eve Party ready and the Mystery Patrol come up to Ryder and Rubble)

Katie:Happy almost New Years Ryder.

Ryder:Happy almost New Years Katie.

Danny:Like isn't New Years yet?

Ace:Not yet Danny. It has to be midnight first and it still daytime. We have to wait till dark. To be night time.

Danny:Aw man! Like I can't wait! Besides I want this year to end already! Cause of the Coronavirus and us returning to Eerie Isle! We wasted our whole Christmas solving the case of the Gingerbread Man Monster, going to New York and solving the case of Vigo and Zorag. And solving the case of the River Monster, and unsolving the unsolved caper of the Sea Creeps of Captain Piscato's ship. And the case of the Fish Phantom haunting the island Port Jackson. Going to the Arctic catching the Arctic Monster. Which was sort of this Snow Ghost looking creature.

(Mayor Goodway comes)

Mayor Goodway:Hey kids.

Ace:Oh hey Mayor Goodway.

Mayor Goodway:I hope you'll enjoy our festivities.

Ryder:Oh we will Mayor, we will.

Chase:Yeah there's no mysteries or missions.

Rubble:Yeah we've had our lot this year. A ghostly priest in gold trying to keep a lost civilization to herself, returning to Spooky Island going to Egypt to catch the Monster of the Nile River. Helping our Canterlot High friends with mysteries. And exposing the Corona Phantoms as fakes.

Ranger:I'm glad we'll be one step ahead of the Coronavirus. At least we exposed it as a hoax.

(Carlos, Tracker, the Princess of Barkingburg, Sweetie, Jake, Everest, Sid Swashbuckle and Arrby come)

Sid Swashbuckle:Ahoy maties! Don't mind us. Arrby and I are just here for the fun.

Arrby:Yeah it's gonna be fun! This'll be the best 2020 party ever! Remember when we went up against Ghoul Pirates and they were trying to protect their loot from looters like Sid?

Ryder:Yeah they turned our to be three looters theirselves.

Jake:You guys remember the case of the Snow Wolfman?

Katie:How can I forget that mystery.

Everest:What about the All Star Spirit?

Ace:We remember that case.

Sweetie:And the Ghost King of Barkingburg?

Princess:Yes we remember that mystery. And the Swamp Ogre. It wasn't even that storybook character Shrek. And the Creeping Creeper. And the Singing Phantom and the Bell Ringing Hunchback haunting Notre Dame. And the Gladiator haunting Pompeii, and the Cackling Skulls of Barkingburg.

Carlos:And the Mayan Princess Ghost, then the Were Donkey.

Tracker:And the case of the Watermelon Monster. And the Spirit of Sleeping Beauty.

Rubble:We even went Dino Patrol and caught the Phantom Dactyl. And we caught the Owl Demon.

Mayor Goodway:I hope you don't mind but I called in a few friends of yours. They should all be here in a few minutes.

Ryder:"They"?

Snails:Like it's party time man!

Spike:Where that food?!

Snips:Yeah! Where?!

Pinkie Pie:Cupcakes!

(Rainbow Dash jumps off in an air guitar solo)

Rainbow Dash:Oh yeah! It's time for the party of the century!

Bulk:YEAH! It's time to party!

Mayor Goodway:Easy Bulk. It's not party time yet.

Bulk:I know Mayor Goodway it's just that Snips and Snails were saying about it and I know it's only tonight.

Derpy:Muffins!

Sunset:Oh Jake.

(Says that in a singing voice)

Jake:Hey Sunset!

Sunset:You gonna be ready for a New Years Eve kiss?

Jake:You know it babe.

Trixie:The great and powerful Trrriixie shall woo the crowd with her spectacular New Years Eve magic performances.

Fluttershy:This will be fun.

Sci-Twi:Yeah it'll be fun Fluttershy.

Fluttershy:Yeah Twilight this is gonna be great.

Rarity:A new year means new ideas for fashion.

(The CMC get off)

Apple Bloom:Hello Adventure Bay! The CMCs are here!

Sweetie Belle:Yeah it's fun time! Especially with Pinkie Pie in town.

Scootaloo:Ain't that the truth.

(Big Mac and Cheerilee got off)

Big Macintosh:Should I pop out and pop open the sparkling apple juice Cheerilee?

Cheerilee:Not now Big Mac.

(Vinyl steps off)

Vinyl:Wha's up?! DJ Pon 3 Vinyl Scratch is in the house with some mad music!

(Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce step off)

Timber:I'm gonna like this party cause Twilight is here.

Gloriosa:And you were just on the bus with her.

Timber:Yeah I know.

(Flash Sentry steps off with Adagio Dazzle)

Adagio:This'll be the best party ever Flashy.

Flash:Yeah and cause I'm with you Dagi.

Cap't Turbot:Welcome teens of Canterlot High!

(Mayor Humdinger comes)

Mayor Humdinger:Beware of the New Year Specter. The *Ghost* of the New Year Eve Specter.

Danny:G-G-G-Ghost?!

Ace:New Year Eve Specter?

Mayor Goodway:Now Mayor Humdinger don't scare our citizens or guests.

Ryder:Who's that Mayor Humdinger?

Mayor Humdinger:The ghost of a man who didn't want the year to end. He wears a mask from Julius Caesar, his real name is Chuck Ever. And he wears the mask every day around public. One day he robbed a bank and while the police were on his tail he fell into the bay and by the time they recovered his body they only found the money.

Fluttershy:Oh my.

Wallflower:That's scary.

Juniper:Yeah. Sounds like something my uncle Canter would direct.

Sonata:I don't know I'm kind of scared.

Fluttershy:Me too.

Pinkie Pie:Me three.

Spike:This sounds too spooky even for Spikey.

Winona:Yeah and Winona.

Rarity:Anyway do go on Mayor Humdinger.

Mayor Humdinger:Yes as I was saying. His ghost is said to come back tonight. Actually today and tonight.

Big Macintosh:Last week we caught the Ancient Gem Miner Ghosts. They were actually the Diamond Boys.

Rarity:And that was only Monday. Tuesday we caught the Ghost of Don Knotts.

Sci-Twi:And Wednesday we caught the Ghost of Robin Williams.

Snails:And the Ghost of Don Rickles.

Spike:And the Ghosts of the Three Stooges. (Does Curly's noises)Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk. Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop! Ruff ruff ruff ruff! And I'm not just doing that "Ruff" as dog noises I'm only doing it as Curly would do *when* imitating a dog.

Mayor Goodway:Now Mayor Humdinger don't scare these nice kids. There's no such things as ghosts. Like the Canterlot Mystery Solvers caught the ghosts of the most famous comedians. Although I've never heard of the Ancient Gem Miners. Were they comedians of the 1800s?

Sci-Twi:No ma'am they were the ghosts of three prospectors who hunted gems.

Mayor Goodway:Oh. Anyway I better go feed Chickaletta some corn. And there's no such thing as a specter of New Years.

(A ghost with a mask and a black cloak hoodie appears in a puff of smoke)

Specter:I am the New Years Eve Specter! Stop this party or be doomed!

(Cackles as he disappears we cut to the towns people running away screaming and we cut to Cali hiding behind a plant covering her eyes we cut to the gang)

Ryder:Wow! I guess the New Years Eve Specter is real!

Sunset:If only I could get a message to Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Chase:Hey where'd Mayor Humdinger go to?

Skye:He was just here.

Zuma:What happen dudes?

Rubble:We got the last newspaper of 2020 and it's of the Adventure Bay Tattler with the headline Mystery Patrol Cracks Case of the Drunken Devil.

Sci-Twi:And we caught the Fire Breathing Rainbow Pegasus Pony.

Rainbow Dash:Yeah and it looked like my pony counterpart.

Spike:And that was just the last newspaper of 2020 of the Canterlot Press. It read Gang Busts Fire Breathing Rainbow Pegasus Pony. It turned out to be a robot with pony Rainbow Dash's skin. Well a suit of her skin at least.

Sci-Twi:Hey what's all this stuff? (Picks up a weird pair of glasses)Glasses? (Picks up a pair of stilts)A pair of stilts? (Picks up a mask of Julius Caesar)A mask of Julius Caesar? (Picks up an eBay package) An eBay package box? (Picks up a button)A button? (Picks up a crowbar)A crowbar? (Picks up a drone)And a drone?

Rarity:What's this? (Picks up a fake gravestone)This gravestone looks like a clue. It looks handmade.

Big Macintosh:And for some reason it's the tombstone of Chuck Evers.

Snails:Hey look at this a little movie projector.

Spike:Maybe that explains how the New Years Eve Specter appeared and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Big Macintosh:Maybe we should spread the word about the New Years celebration bein' back on.

Ryder:Just what I was thinking! Tonight we catch the ghost!

Spike:Hey look! This diary belongs to Mayor Humdinger.

Derpy:Look I found this chisel could be a clue and this hammer it looks like it's only been recently used.

Bulk:That's a clue there Derpy.

Ryder:Now for the trap.

(Later that night)

Big Macintosh:There. (Checks his watch)It's almost midnight. Alrighty y'all let's do this. Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage, Sonata Dusk, Aria Blaze and Derpy Hooves front and center!

(They go up to him)

Big Macintosh:Did you girls help spread the word?

Juniper:Yes we did Big Mac. We told the citizens of Adventure Bay.

Wallflower:Yeah Mr. Porter, Cap'n Turbot, Francios, Ms. Marjorie, and everybody.

Apple Bloom:Big Mac accordin to my phone it's three minutes till midnight.

Big Macintosh:Don't worry Apple Bloom. The trap goes off at midnight.

Derpy:I can't do it!

Sonata:Me either!

Rarity:Not even for a taco and a muffin?

(Says the words as she holds up the taco and muffin)

Sonata and Derpy:Yeah!

Spike:Big Mac we've been at this for hours. The Specter's not gonna show up.

Big Macintosh:Wait for it Spike.

(The Specter appears in the puff of smoke)

Specter:Mwhahahaha! You were warn to not celebrate New Years! Now you must pay!

(The gang run around and Big Mac looks up at the town clock and the hands reach midnight and fireworks and party cannons go off startling the Specter)

Specter:What the?!

Rubble:DJ Rubble's in the house y'all! Kickin off New Years Eve!

(Scratches the needle and Vinyl does the same and the Dazzlings use their vocals to hurt the Specter's ears as well as all of the stuff causes his ears to hurt he yells)

Specter:(Puts his hands over his ears)AHHH! MY EARS!

Luke Stars:Hey Luke Stars here to help catch you New Years Eve Specter!

(The stereos are so loud that the ghost flies back and is about to attack some more when a net falls on him we move up to see Skye above where he was and the specter falls down and we fade to the gang all gathered around him as he is on the ground and Ryder says)

Ryder:Now let's see who the New Years Eve Specter really is gang.

(Spike and Rubble grab sides of the hoodie and pulls it down and sides of the mask and pulls it off and it is)

All:Mayor Humdinger?!

Mayor Humdinger:That's right! This was because.....!

Sci-Twi:Because you didn't want 2020 to end! So you used the New Years Eve Specter to scare off the towns folk and he ordered the mask from eBay and made the grave. And the projector was so you can be with us at the same time as the Specter and the drone was to also make the other ghost costume and with a tape recorder to make the voice of the ghost. It was all so you could see Adventure Bay's Annual New Years Eve Party not go on! Am I right?

Mayor Humdinger:Well you're right about the stuff I used but you're wrong about the motive.

Snails:Then like why did you do it?

Mayor Humdinger:I hate noise. Like that time when I put all those bullfrogs in the frog pond. Only with the noises of the citizens of Adventure Bay keeping me up all night every New Years Eve with their fireworks and noise makers and stuff. And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids! All of you! And your dogs too! All of your dogs!

(The police take him away)

Tracker:Hey aren't we suppose to be having a fiesta?

(The next scene shows the whole town of Adventure Bay partying and as the song "You're All Good Pups" play we see Taylor Turbot and Tammy Turbot talking to Cap'n Turbot and Francois and we see Ryder and Katie sharing a New Years Eve kiss and we see Jake and Sunset Shimmer kissing too and we see Big Mac and Cheerilee having apple juice ad kissing and we see Rex talking with the pups (Spike and Winona included) we cut to the Dazzlings with Rubble, Luke and Vinyl on stage we then see Everest and Marshall kissing and we see Chase and Skye kissing and we then see Ace and Ranger kissing and we see the Princess and Carlos kissing we then cut to Photo Finish making a group photo and then she says)

Photo Finish:Alright. Everyone say Rubble Double Doo and Spikey Dikey Doo!

(They say it as the photo is taken and with her in it herself)

Everyone:Rubble-Double-Doo and Spikey-Dikey-Doo!

(We end the story there as Spike and Rubble are heard laughing)
