Chapter 43 - Joke

"Adyan, these folks are not the reason for alarm. They are long gone. These are my friends. Mr. and Mrs. Heartchilds,and I'm sure you remember, Darius. We..."

"Mr. and Mr.s Ghost!! I….I…I didn't see you there. How'd you do it? Did you do the old razzledazzle, make them confused where they were, or were more extreme measures taken?"

"Nope. We made friends with them. After Mr. Hearth….."

"Heartchild."

"After Mr. Heartchild helped me find how to fit in, we befriended the Questionieres."

"Hello? Adryan? Hello!!! Blink your eyes. Are you with us?"

"Sorry. Just hard to believe she got you too; especially after your talks."

"Guess we just had to see it to believe it. That's all."

"Ruby, I'm glad to see that the family kept believing. Just look at you. Can hardly tell you're a ghost anymore."

"That's the problem."

"Huh?"

"Let's go inside."

"Ruby, don't play jokes with me. What happened down there?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

"We got an extra room, but only one bed."

"We'll sleep together."

"Dad, what about the bunk-bed you made me? Darius could sleep in my room with that."

"Don't see why not. You?"

"We trust them, and we'll make sure they don't stay up too late."

"Why do I get a curfew? I never had one before."

"Ruby, you're human now, and as such, humans need their full eight hours of rest… AT LEAST."
