Plot Overview

Stacy has to spend the night at the station for the mail. The kids ask if she will get pajamas, which reminds her to get her sleeping bag. Leaving the kids alone, they wonder if it will be scary at the station - just as they see a hat float across the floor. Very scared, they see Mr. Conductor pop out from under it. He teases them about seeing ghosts, which leads him to the story of Percy playing a trick on Thomas. After the story, he tells them he sometimes spends the night in his switch house. The kids ask Stacy if they can sleep at the station, to which responds that only if it is OK with their parents. Just then, a lady named Wendy comes in. Wendy makes things out of paper and the kids want scary masks. When she is finished, she catches her train and leaves. Stacy called their parents, who gave permission, so she goes and gets sleeping bags for them. Schemer comes in and learns about the night they will have. He tries to frighten them, but they are not scared and leave. Schemer is determined to scare them. Late that night, the kids are on the station floor in their sleeping bags. They cannot get to sleep, so Mr. Conductor tells them a "hairy" story about Percy's antics as a caterpillar. A number of antics lead to Stacy and Harry investigating banging sounds. Schemer dressed as a ghost tiptoes in and leaves before anyone sees him. That fails, so he becomes the man with his head on backwards. He goes up to Matt and Tanya, who are standing covered in their sleeping bags. This scares Schemer who runs around getting scared by the masks and the ghost cape carried by the mail bag. Once he leaves, Stacy and Harry settle down right beside the kids. They exchange their good nights, even to Schemer, who pops up over them and gives them one last scare and a laugh to help them fall asleep.

Quotes

• Mr. Conductor: Percy was quite a sight. It was good it was daytime. At night I don't know what they would have made of him. Now go to sleep, you two.

Tanya: But we're still not sleepy.

Mr. Conductor: Well, shut your eyes and pretend you are. Good night. Good night. (he disappears)

• Stacy, Harry, Matt, and Tanya: Good night, Schemer!

(Schemer quietly rises up from behind the ticket booth)

Schemer: Good night.

(Stacy, Harry, Matt, and Tanya are startled by Schemer's reply, as there was a short pause beforehand, and all scream and laugh)

Stacy: Oh, is he mean.

Tanya: Good night.

(everyone goes back to sleep)
