Jessica opens the front door. She sticks her head in and peers around. Their mom was nowhere in sight. She gestures at Dustin to come in. He tiptoes in before Jessica quietly shuts the door. The two teens stealthily sneak past the foyer and into the living room.

"Dusty! Jess!" 

The siblings sigh and turn as Claudia rose from the couch. "Jess, how was the party?" she asks as she walks over to her children. "It was awesome. Steve and I had a great time." Claudia points at the sunglasses on the top of Jessica's head. "Are those Steve's?" she asks with a teasing tone. "Ah, no, he actually bought me a pair." Claudia claps her hands in excitement. "That is so romantic!" 

Claudia then turns to her son. "Dusty, how was it?" "H-how was what?" Dustin stammers out. "Why she means how was the greatest night of the year, of course!" Jessica tells him as Mews struts by, making himself known with a few meows. 

"Oh!" Dustin exclaims. "Oh!" Jessica repeats as the two laughs. "Oh, yeah, it was...It was, uh, tubular." Claudia stares Dustin down. "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing," Dustin said a little too quickly. Claudia tilts her head. "Did something happen?" Dustin shakes his head. "No. What? No." "Are you constipated again?" Claudia asks in a concern tone. Jessica lets out a snicker.

"No. Mom!" 

"Okay, you're acting weird," she tells her son. "I am not acting weird!" Dustin exclaims as his proton box starts shaking. Dustin lets out a nervous laugh while Mews hisses at the box. "Awesome, right?" Jessica asks her mom. "Dustin, here, rigged it with a motor to make it look like he caught a ghost." Dustin nods. "Just like the movie." Claudia laughs nervously. "Oh, Dusty." The three falls into a fit of laughter.
