TTR: Then Do That Over - Ghosthunting
(All Ages)
http://www.ttrarchive.com/ghosthunting-1.html
Another story set in HG Wells, this time a follow up to First Year Camp, so more fun and games with the Y7s / First Years (11 yr olds) - all New Who characters.
Fitz is still stuck as a PE teacher, but he's coping; Chris & David Doctor are going ghosthunting and Donna's watching telly.

Martha’s Science Journal
Ghosthunting Club again today. Rose brought Mickey. He had some
stupid ideas, so I will not bother writing them down. Tosh has been
to speak to Victoria in the top class, because she is nice and kind
and pretty and has been here a long time.
She said she did not think she knew about any ghosts, but that Jamie
has told her that there is a phantom piper in the clock tower and that
Patrick Doctor says there was a horrible murder years ago and the body
was hid in the school cellars and not found for months and months.
She said she would ask the caretaker if he had ever noticed anything
odd down there because Zoe says that none of that sort of nonsense is
true anyway. Except for the murder.
We are going to camp out in the clock tower one night to uncover the
truth, but we are not sure how to do this without being noticed.
David brought Jenny and he says that they could do it, no problem. He
asked if John could join us again.
Chris told him to keep quiet, but I think that David might still try
to get into the clock tower. I’m not sure that anyone ever goes up
there any more. I might have to keep an eye on him. Jack was more
interested in the murders in the cellars and said we could all stay
down there one night. Rose said No way. Donna just said what and
then we all realised that she’d been listening to her ipod for the
last 20 minutes.
Then we had to go before someone found us again. Mr Kreiner was
hanging around the drive frowning, but we made it out okay. I think.

Fitz’s Log
Caught David Doctor at the school gate, grabbed him by the collar and
demanded to know what he was doing.
He stopped with a yell and then turned and gave me a great big smile
and looked like I was his long lost best friend. I won’t write
everything he said after that or my arm might fall off, but I got no
sense out of him and by the time I’d finished with the brat, there was
no one else in sight.

Donna’s Diary
School - boring, except that Rose had to do lines and now we have to
Hate Miss Smythe. She is a mean old bag. Ghosthunting club after
school. I think something bit me in the bushes and my batteries went
flat.

I really don't think there's anything much to say about the story, except that obviously, having left poor Fitz in this situation, I had to follow it up. And I read far too many children's books... Hope it makes you smile.
