Synopsis[]

It's club day in Gloomsville and everyone has made up their own club, except for Skull Boy, who can't think of a club that really suits him.

But whenever Skull Boy tries to introduce the skeletons to his friends, they disappear and Skull Boy's friends start thinking that he made them up.
