The instant someone says the word haunted house, Sunny is demanding to know where it is and when she can go and then, just like that, she's off. A haunted house! Ghosts! Spooky scary skeletons! Murder mysteries.

There's a lot of possibilities with a haunted house and Sunny has nothing but the highest expectations.

So imagine her disappointment when, after a very long time of searching, she has found nothing but a lot of cobwebs and dust. The house is musty and with a huff, Sunny stomps to a cracked window and shoves it open. She checks her phone.

It has been an entire five minutes.

Sunny allows herself to half fall out of it, arms dangling from the second story. Taking a sharp breath in through her nose, she does what comes natural: scream. It's a very exaggerated, cartoonish noise, sort of like a pterodactyl.

When she stops, she looks down. Her eyes settle on a brown haired fellow and Sunny blinks. She pushes herself further out the window and waves.

"Hello! Hellooooo! Are you here for the ghosts? So far I haven't found any but one time I watched a scary movie and people died in it and so maybe the ghost just wants two of us before it shows itself! You've never seen a spooky movie that's just about one person, right?"

It looks as if it at moment, Sunny is going to fall out. Next to her, a Bidoof pokes its head up.

When the boy disappears from view, Sunny falls back from the window. The floors creak under her footsteps and the pound of her feet seem to rattle the very house itself. "Nothing scary at all!" she shouts back. She skips down the stairs, jumping over the one that is half broken.

Finally, Sunny plants herself in front of the boy called Jomei. She grins and offers a hand out.

"Sunshine! But everyone calls me Sunny," she answers. Her Bidoof, caught at the top of the stairs, looks down at them. He takes one step -

And proceeds to roll down them with all the grace expected of a Bidoof. He hits the floor with a thud.

Sunny watches the scene unfold in almost slow motion. The tumble of her bidoof, the bounce of Jomei's curls as he falls, the Chikorita's panicked attempt to flee only to find it too late. It was, in a simple word, beautiful.

Laughter spills from Sunshine. She wraps her arms tight around herself and doubles over, giggling like a madman. When, at last, she is able to catch her breath, she steps closer to loon down at Jomei, a waterfall of blond hair tumbling down her shoulder.

"You're funny," she says. "I like you. Let's go get that ghost."

She offers a hand out.

"Umm." Sunny had not given this much thought outside of everywhere. You look for a ghost everywhere, right? But a specific sort of everywhere, limited to an area. In this case, the area is the house and the house is everywhere.

So Sunny says this: "Everywhere! It could be anywhere!"

She grabs the boy by the wrist and pulls him with. "I bet in the basement! Like, they bury dead bodies in basements, right? So there's gotta be a ghost there!"
