The sounds of celebration and victory echoed through the backstage of the auditorium

The big bad challenge was finally over, and more than that, it had been beaten

Scott lifted Zoe and made her sit on his shoulders while Dahlia made you sit on hers. They paraded you as the two minds behind this glorious victory

Rounds of applause, cheering from your friends and even a bit of confetti coated the scene in nothing but joy

The girl and you looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, reaching for the other's hand and lifting them before joining the celebration

But that's when the doors swung open and everyone turned to find none other than Miranda Vanderbilt herself, hunched over, breathing heavily, and absolutely covered in blood

Zoe: Miranda...?

You: The fuck happened to you?

The gang stopped the minute they laid their eyes on her. The princess's uncharacteristically grim scowl as well as her breathing put everyone on edge

At least until she stood straight and beamed

Miranda: Yes! I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time!

The mermaid dashed across the room and looked up at Zoe

Miranda: How did it go? Were you successful?

Zoe: Yes we were!

DAHLIA: And these two made out!

The other students cheered at this, much to your embarrassment. Miranda, however, clapped at the news

Miranda: Fantastic! I knew you would conquer this challenge

Scott then put the eldritch girl down so they could speak to eye(s) level

Miranda: I'm so sorry for not being able to be a part of it

DAHLIA put you down just in time for you to put a hand on the mermaid's shoulder and offer a sad smile

You: Don't be so harsh on yourself, Miri. How could you know there would be an uprising?

Whispers and murmurs of agreement could be heard from the crowd

Miranda: I appreciate the sympathy, my friends, but I still feel like I should do something to compensate for my absence

Then, she turned to Zoe

Miranda: I imagine it must've been quite the conundrum

Brian: Nah

Vicky: Just a little spook!

You: Don't worry about it

Zoe: Nope! Not at all

Oh you know how much everyone was freaking the FUCK out

Still, Miranda hummed as she rubbed her chin. Just a few seconds later, something crossed her mind and she snapped her fingers

Miranda: I know! I shall host a celebration of your victory!

Scott: A party? For us?!

Miranda: Absolutely!

With colossal anticipation, everyone turned to Zoe as if asking for permission

Zoe: Hmm...sure!

As soon as the green light was given, the fan-favorite ghost threw her hands in the air as she floated up

Polly: YAAAAAAASS! PARTY TIME!!

A collective "WHOOOO!!!" could be heard, and Zoe herself rubbed her chin for a moment before she finally decided to just go with it
