- great practice, taylor.
- thanks, lilly.
- i'm so psyched you're joining
our gymnastics team.
you're gonna love
being a fighting inchworm.
- i already do.
at my last school,
the mascot was the squirrels.
do you know how hard it is
to look cool while doing this?
[laughter]
- psst, taylor.
- [screams]
i left my phone
on pinch mode.
it's a thing.
i got to take this.
miles, i have company.
- but they can't see me.
only people who live
in the house, remember?
do you remember how we talked
about sneaking up on me
and being all ghosty?
- great feedback.
i'll take a note.
less ghosty.
- what do you want, miles?
- your mom says
she needs you upstairs
to help unpack.
so what are you guys
talking about down here?
- bye, miles.
sorry, guys.
i have to get going.
- no problem.
but before you do,
we have a surprise for you.
- a big surprise.
- it's a tradition
to have a sleepover
when a new inchworm
joins the team.
- total tradition.
whoo-hoo!
- emma's excited about it.
- i am.
- that's awesome.
i love sleepovers.
- great.
how about tonight?
- tonight totally works for me.
- great.
we'll be here at 6:00?
- excuse me?
come here?
- it's a tradition.
the newest inchworm
always hosts the sleepover.
- wait, tonight?
oh, i can't.
i've got a thing at the thing
with a thing.
so many things.
- taylor, is there some reason
you don't want us coming over?
- i forgot my pencil.
- can't think of one.
- then we'll be here tonight.
and by tomorrow
you'll be an official inchworm.
- or the official weirdo
who lives with ghosts.
[dramatic music]
- if you move
into a haunted house
you've got to try
to work things out
- so if you're living
with a ghost or three
both: you got to be
one big, semi-scary family
don't know how we ended up
this way
but guess you could call us
the haunted hathaways
the haunted hathaways
the haunted hathaways
the haunted hathaways
- thanks for helping us
move in, guys.
you lighten the load literally.
- hey.
what are ghosts for?
- um, scaring.
anything but helping.
this is a travesty.
ghosts should be feared.
- okay, louie,
but the little duckies
on your socks
are not helping.
- they aren't duckies.
they're yellow monsters.
oh.
- we all know
how you feel, son,
but regardless we agreed
to share the house
with michelle and the girls.
- that's right.
and we're gonna make this work.
i promise.
you won't even know we're here.
- mom!
- starting
after whatever this is.
- mom, the gymnastics team
is coming over
for a sleepover tonight.
- that's great.
that's horrible?
can you just tell me?
i'm not good at reading you.
- do you know what the kids
at school would say
if they found out
i live with ghosts?
no offense.
- how would they find out?
- oh, i don't know.
if they saw something
like that.
- like what?
my supreme awesomeness?
- are those yellow duckies
on your socks?
- forget it.
[cat meows]
- taylor, have your sleepover.
my boys will behave.
it'll be fine.
- better than fine.
it'll be great.
so what time should i swing by?
- miles, this sleepover
is for my gymnastics team.
- come on, tay.
do you know how long it's been
since i've been to a party?
- it's not really a party.
- it will be
when i get there.
he said what?
- see that charm?
he'll be the hit of the party.
- mom.
- taylor.
ray's right.
if we're gonna share this house,
we're all gonna have
to be flexible
and make compromises.
- okay, fine.
- yes!
- when i say, "party,"
you say, "miles.
"
party.
[high-pitched] miles.
we'll pick this up later.
- [screams]
- oh.
those are my mannequin heads.
- frankie, why do you have
mannequin heads?
- what are you, a cop?
- i'm gonna keep my eye on you.
i'm just gonna take these
to your room.
- thanks, ray.
it's the big one
at the end of the hall.
- nice try, frankie.
mom, i'm older.
i should get the bigger room.
- i'm with taylor
on this.
she's got seniority.
- fine.
but this isn't over.
and, remember,
i know where you sleep.
- me too.
the big room.
- okay, son, concentrate
on the ghost balloon
and the target.
now the key to moving objects
is focus.
- be the water balloon, louie.
- [coughs]
okay.
so let's talk
about what went wrong there.
- why bother?
i'm never gonna get this.
- look, son,
this is why we do drills.
you'll get better.
but only if you practice.
- i should be practicing
on real people,
like, i don't know, the ones
living in our house.
- look, i know it's hard
for you, louie,
but we made a promise
not to scare away the hathaways.
you'll see.
living with them will be fine.
[loud ***, groaning]
starting after
whatever this is.
be right back.
- hello.
- [screams]
have you ever heard of knocking?
- i couldn't help but overhear
your little problem.
- that was one time.
i drank a lot of water
before i went to bed.
- not that.
your little problem
about not being able
to practice your ghosting.
i think i have the solution.
- do you think i need
a little girl
to help me solve my problems?
- we both know
the answer to that.
if you want to practice,
you should haunt
my sister's sleepover.
- but i promised my dad
i wouldn't scare you guys.
- right, but taylor's friends
are fair game,
and they'll all
be here tonight
in her big, stupid room that
she viciously stole from me.
- so i could scare the snot
out of those girls
and show my dad
i've got game.
let's do this.
it's time to turn
these inchworms
into flinchworms.
that was good.
note to self:
copyright "flinchworms.
"
- come on.
- whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
what are you doing?
- i thought the piano might look
a little better to the left
and on the curb.
- this piano isn't going
on the curb.
i played this beauty
in four different bands.
- it's just that it's taking up
a lot of my living room.
- our living room.
- yeah, mom.
ray's right.
if we're all going to get along,
we have to make compromises
and be flexible, right?
- don't you have a sleepover
to get ready for?
- the girls will be here
any minute.
nothing's floating or flying.
i guess that's good.
- sweetie, you just need
to relax
and enjoy yourself.
- you're right.
i'll be fine.
[doorbell rings]
they're here.
what was i thinking?
tell 'em i moved to mexico.
- taylor, the door.
- so about the piano
- mm-hmm.
- i bet you'd change your mind
if you knew how to play.
let me give you a few lessons,
and, if you don't fall
in love with it,
the piano goes.
- fine.
i'll be flexible.
this is me
playing a scale
- this is me
losing my mind
- i don't know
if he likes me.
he always looks at me,
but he never says anything.
- emma, he's your dog.
- am i late?
- [gasps]
- i brought graham crackers
and my book of ghost stories.
- phone call.
miles, can you be
more careful?
they may not see you, but they
can see things floating.
- sorry.
i'm still adjusting
to this whole
"living with non-ghosts" thing.
so what goes on at these things?
pillow fight?
- no.
- [scoffs]
good,
'cause that does not sound fun
to me at all.
so what are we gonna do?
- i don't know.
hang out.
- yeah?
we can keep things chill.
or
[upbeat music]
it's party time.
how psyched are you
that i'm here?
- okay.
you ready
to get your scare on?
- are you kidding?
louie's the name,
and scaring's my game.
i got more boos than shoes.
i'm the ghost with the most.
the phantom with the--
- are you done?
the girls are only here
for ten hours.
- so what should we do next?
- have you guys seen love lake?
- oh, my gosh, emma and i
just watched that last week.
it's like our favorite movie.
- the end, when lucas proposes
to april in front of everyone
at the lake.
- whoa!
spoiler alert.
[sighs]
that's so emma.
- all right.
here's how it's going down.
while they watch the movie,
you're gonna sneak
into the tv,
then jump out
when they least expect it.
- but how will they see me
come out of the tv?
i'm invisible to them.
- you'll be wearing this.
i made my grandmother faint
with that mask.
good times.
- who are you?
- just a girl with
a slightly smaller bedroom.
for now.
- they're going to kiss.
- yeah, kiss
the bad boy, april.
good move.
hope that works out for you.
- you know what,
i actually think
this could be a good night.
- ready or not,
it's louie time.
[girls scream]
[girls screaming]
- everyone, try to relax.
- i think i'm stuck in here.
help!
help!
seriously, this is not cool.
[crash]
- phone call.
i'm popular tonight.
miles, what is your brother
trying to pull?
- i'm not sure, but he's
totally gonna ruin our party.
- our party?
- oh, right.
sleepover.
i'm gonna go talk to him.
this ends now.
- [playing notes]
[singing off-key]
[cat yowls]
- take me with you.
- well, ray,
what can i say?
you were right.
i am loving this.
- all right, then,
the piano stays.
why don't we pick up this lesson
again in, say, six months?
- are you kidding?
i am totally hooked.
i'm going to be practicing
each and every day
for hours and hours.
[tuneless playing]
oh, look at you
getting emotional.
- mm-hmm, this experience
has affected me.
- that fish mask
messed up my powers.
- yeah.
that's what happened.
- well, well.
if it isn't the scare bears.
look, you two,
i finally have something cool
to do on a friday night,
and i'm not gonna let you
ruin it.
- you can't prove
i was in that tv.
i mean, what tv?
- listen,
the haunting ends now.
this party's important
to taylor.
- you know what,
you're right.
we were being insensitive.
we'll stay away, miles.
we promise.
- hmm.
wasn't expecting that,
but loving the attitude,
frankenberry.
- thanks so much
for setting us straight.
what a sap.
okay, plan "b," scaring the poop
out of those girls.
- man, who am i kidding?
that tv stunt
was a disaster.
i'm just glad
my dad didn't see it.
i'll never be
a great ghost.
- hey, that's quitter talk.
are we going
to let miles and taylor
push us younger kids around
and take our bedrooms?
- no!
wait, bedrooms?
- exactly.
us younger kids
have to stick together.
when the ghosting gets tough,
the tough get ghosting.
- you're right.
no one tells louie what to do
but louieand my dad
and my grandma
when she's visiting.
but that's it.
this sleepover is about to
turn into a creepover.
flinchworms, creepover.
i'm on fire tonight.
- who wants garlic dip?
oh, come on.
it's not that bad.
oh, wow, that is a lot
of garlic.
- okay, we're back on track.
is this going great or what?
- wow.
it has been a long time
since you've been to a party.
- then you know
what it's time for?
- do not say pillow fight.
- [scoffs]
why would i say it
when i can do it?
- miles, stop it.
seriously.
- are you okay?
yeah.
i'm totally fine.
miles!
look what you made me do.
- sorry.
- who's miles?
wait.
you name your pillow too?
- so you got something good?
- oh, i've got something.
ghosts are able
to create illusions
that everyone can see.
so i'm gonna appear to them
as a fire-breathing monster.
- whoa.
you can do that?
- scary monster
about to pounce.
[goat bleats]
- is this what slumber parties
are like in new york?
- taylor, why is there a goat in
your room wearing a cowboy hat?
- i always say it's not a party
till the goat shows up.
- taylor, i'm really starting
to get weirded out.
there's some odd stuff
going on in this house.
- maybe we should go home.
- yeah.
- hey, so you guys never discuss
what happens at sleepovers
at school, do you?
that's what i thought.
- well, we'll see you, taylor.
- don't worry, tay.
i got this.
trust me.
just read.
i'll do sound effects.
we could save this.
- girls, wait.
you can't leave
before we read a ghost story.
the story is called
the swamp witch of new orleans.
"feeding on young children,
she travels on the wind.
"
- [imitates wind blowing]
[laughter]
- this is pretty cool.
[thunder]
- oh, my gosh.
this is
totally freaking me out.
keep reading.
- a goat in a cowboy hat?
[tuneless playing]
- yeah, i was embarrassed
for you in that one too.
- i'm sick of messing up.
i just wish one of my scares
would go right.
- son, are you okay?
- no, i'm not okay.
i'm trying to be scary,
and i can't.
- who said you had a hairy aunt?
- i tried for a monster
and got a goat.
- what hamster got a boat?
- what?
i can't take it anymore.
this piano lesson is over.
- what's happening?
- whoa, louie.
you did that?
- i did.
i mean to wrap
those curtains around her,
and then it happened.
dad, i did it.
- louie!
- now, son, you shouldn't have
done that to michelle.
but bless you.
- louie, get me
out of these now.
- yes, my dad saw me
be an awesome ghost.
victory dance.
- louie.
louie.
- "as the swamp witch
got closer,
the girls could hear
her footsteps on the stairs.
"
[footsteps]
"her anguished cries got louder
until finally she screamed.
"
- where is he?
where's the little one?
[girls scream]
- the swamp witch!
she's come for us!
- [screams]
take emma!
[whimpering]
- so i just came from practice.
- yikes, sweetie.
was it rough?
i'm sorry i chased away
all your friends.
- don't be sorry.
everybody loved it.
they're calling it
the best sleepover ever.
a few parents have
some questions for you.
but the haunted house theme
was a hit.
check it out.
i'm an official inchworm.
- nice.
you deserve it.
- thanks.
i couldn't have done it
without you.
and i really am glad
you came to my sleepover.
- me too.
- see, and you thought
living with ghosts
would be weird.
- yeah.
what was i thinking?
- dad's got you
on cleaning duty, huh?
- maybe he'll think twice before
tying me up with curtains.
- you should have seen
your face.
your pretty, pretty face.
- frankie, there you are.
so i've been thinking,
and i've decided
to give you the bigger room.
- really?
- you truly deserve it.
- yes! i had a feeling
you'd come to your senses
and do the right thing.
i'm proud of you.
- that room still reeks
of garlic dip, doesn't it?
- oh, yeah.
that smell's never coming out.
i think
i'm getting even better.
- smile, everybody.
she has no idea
we can't hear her.
- now that's
my kind of ghosting.
