The Ghostly Trio then decided to have a relaxing vacation, for all their accomplishments with Casper having to do choirs. They went into a place called Sunny Brite Resorts, in which they scared off a happily married couple and took possession of there cabin as well as making Casper’s afterlife miserable.
Meeting Wendy[]
Fed up with his uncles' antics, Casper decided to go to a barn where he meets a little girl who turns out to be a witch named Wendy who was also going through the same treatment as her bewitching aunts. Realizing that they have a lot in common, Casper and Wendy became good friends.
After having a good time in the resort together, Casper and Wendy came to the conclusion that ghosts and witches are each other’s worst enemies, so they came up with a plan for their elders to get along.
The Dance[]
Casper had his uncles possessed three human beings who resembled them and have them meet with Wendy’s aunts, to which they instantly fell for. Casper took Wendy outside and they dance into the beautiful night at the gazebo as they were being stalked by a boy named Josh Jackman whom Wendy had come into bad terms with, which lead to Casper believing that there was something going on between them.
They soon discovered that their plan had failed when the Ghostly Trio was losing control of the humans they possessed as they were being confronted by witches where the head witch Gert attempt to use her powers on them causing them to flee.
Breaking a Promise[]
Later, Wendy told Casper that she and her aunts are on the run from an evil warlock named Desmond Spellman who intends on destroying her by using a magic portal called the Mystic Abyss.
She also tells Casper not to tell his uncles about them not using magic because if they did Desmond will track them in his radar, but Casper broke his promise when he was trying to stand up to his uncles which lead to him accidentally spilling the beans.
After being flushed by the Trio, Casper came out of the sewers to warn Wendy, only to find that they beat him to it leaving Wendy with no choice, but to use her wand against them leading Desmond to know her location. She threatens Casper to leave, after breaking his promise to her.
Confronting Desmond Spellman and Saving Wendy[]
Casper returned when Wendy and her aunts were captured by Desmond and his henchmen. Casper confronted the evil warlock to let Wendy go but was outmatched by his powers.
Casper returned once again with Wendy’s wand that was taken by Josh and his friend right after she used it on the Ghostly Trio. Right when she used it on Desmond, it had very little effect as he used his magic and dragged her to the Abyss. Casper dived in to save her as Desmond attempted to close the wall on them. He was then confronted by a three-eyed monster who turned out to be the Ghostly Trio who used their ghostly powers and defeated the warlock.
With the last dish effort, the Trio and Wendy’s aunts gotten Casper and Wendy out of the Abyss as Casper and Wendy fell unconscious.
Aftermath[]
They each woke up, which gratifies their elders, knowing that they are okay. Desmond’s Oracle in the mirror told them that Wendy is now the greatest witch for befriending a ghost.
Casper and Wendy say their goodbyes and his uncles deciding to do Casper’s chores for once.
