The next day was normal, Maria at work and Parker going somewhere to find out why Maria can only see him at nights. Parker looking around seeing mostly books, papers, and such. "Elder John are you here?" In a low husky voice someone said "yes I am. I', coming." In amount of minutes Parker saw a frail bearded man come up and shook his hand. "Hello Parker. Have you been?" "Hello John, I'm good. And how are you?" "That is nice to hear, who knows how I'm doing... So do you need something?" "Yes. I need some information.. I did go to the library, but the pages of the book were missing and colored on so I came here." "Oh, that is not good when you're done here please bring that book here I shall renew it. Anyway what do you want to know?" " A human women can see me, but its only at night. I wonder how that is possible?" "Well she must have a spiritual side to see ghosts that is more aware at night." "No I don't think that's it, she said she doesn't believe in ghosts." "Yes, but sometimes those are the ones that can. How about this you bring her here tomorrow night." "How am I going get her here? I'm a ghost, she'll just go right through." "Here" giving a sturdy blue rope to Parker "this here rope will allow her to fly with you, but if she is scared to do that take this bulb." Confused look appeared. "Tie this rope to both of your wrist then break the bulb it'll magically transport both of you here." "Alright. Thank you Elder John." "Your welcome." Parker left for the library to get the book that had pages colored on and missing for elder John to repair. The repair was fast, for John used magic to fix that book. Yes I said magic! Once fixed and returned to the library, Parker left to meet Maria to tell her what elder said, and let her choose (flying or magic).
Maria is looking out the hotel window, waiting for Parker, "No stars out tonight. Well that's ok I'll still be able too talk to Parker." Parker arrived as she finished her sentence, "Sorry I'm late Maria, but I'm here. So Elder says you need come with me tomorrow night to see something. Though you either have to fly or by magic to get their. So what do you want to do?" Maria didn't say anything, "Maria did you hear me? Hello." "Its getting late and he's still not back... I think Parker will understand see me sleeping when he gets back, after all I have work. Goodnight Parker, where ever you are." "What are you talking about? I'm right here. Maria! She can't see me. Why? Hm, goodnight Maria." For days it was the same work and Parker who was not seen by Maria at night. On the couch watching the television, Maria was wondering where Parker was and yet at the same time watching television "Tomorrow night will be great to see a comet so you better find a great view to see it go by. And if your seeing anyone special; take that special someone out to watch this magnificent sight and maybe even lay or sit underneath the starry night." "Oh a comet. Hopefully Parker be back by then to see that. Then again he's a ghost he probably seen it before." "Geeze its been days and she still haven't seen me." Maria shutting the television off, getting up and heading toward the bed. "Again good night Parker where ever you are." Shutting the lamp off and nodding off to sleep. Parker coming forward placing his hand on her head and rubbing her head like parents do, "Maria... goodnight."
Like any other day Maria going to work and Parker following and watching. Maria just got in the hotel room when it got dark, Parker sitting on the couch when Maria sees him and says "Parker you're back! Hi, have you been? Did you see Elder John?"" "You see me finally.. I've been back for days waiting for you to see me. Yes I did. Elder John told me to bring you to him." Parker saying what Elder John said, Maria just looked at Parker for a moment until she said "...So when do you want to go see Elder John?" "Now will be fine. Which do you prefer flying or magic?" "Well they'll be a lot people out watching the sky for the comet and I don't want be noticed, so magic." With that said he took the blue rope out and tied it to both his and Maria's wrist, then took the bulb and threw it on the floor creating a portal in which Maria and Parker jumped in. Both landing, "Elder John we're here." Elder John came out from behind his desk "I assume this is the women who can see you." "Yes. This is Maria and Maria this is Elder John." "Parker I don't see anyone here, I only see trees and well anything around here on this island." "What!?! Elder John is right in front of us and you don't see him or anything that belongs to him?" "Tell him I'm sorry." "He can hear and see you." "Oh... r-right." "Hmm interesting. Parker I like to talk to you; Maria can come." "whats interesting? Well if Maria wants to stay." Parker asked her, "Yes, I'll stay. Sure I can't hear Elder John, but you can tell me what he says and I can guess by your response too." Parker nodded his head for Elder to speak or look for answers, "Parker why are you and Maria late getting here?" "Well I went back to tell Maria, but she couldn't see me though it was dark." "I see, so why did she see you then and now? What has changed?" "I'm not sure its the same I guess. Maria why could you see me then and now, but not days ago? What is different?" "Well I 'm not exactly sure." "What?" "The first time I met you was on the beach shore, it was obviously dark, and the sky full of stars unlike last night." "Yeah, but you can see me off the shore. Why would it matter if there's stars out or not?" "I don't know it was just a thought." Before Parker could reply Elder John spoke up "Parker. I would let you both talk it out more, but" "I'm sorry I almost forgot you were here. And sorry for interrupting you, please continue." "Its fine. Anyway the sky does have part in her seeing you." "It does, How?" "Well she could see you during the day and not at night or see you both day and night.. the list could go on, but this women Maria sees you only on starry nights and can't see me which signify she is your soul mate." An amazed yet confused look appeared on Parker's face "Parker what is it?" Parker not answering till he heard his name the third time, "Oh-uh nothing. Maria you want go back to the hotel room? You look tired and have work tomorrow." "Actually the boss let all of us have half of the day off so I can stay longer, but I don't want miss the comet." "Oh, well I'll see if we can have another bulb for you get back see that comet. Elder John can we have a bulb? I'll be back to help you." "Yes of course." Looking through a drawer, got a bulb or two and handed it too Parker. "Here you go. There's two I know you want come back as fast as possible." "Thank you and yes I would." Parker took the one bulb and smashed it, back into the portal, and landed in Maria's hotel room. "I know you'll like if I stayed, but Elder John needs help and I told him I'll help him." "Yes I would, I know. Go help Elder and I'll see you when you get back or tomorrow night." "Thank you. If I'm not back later, goodnight." "Goodnight." Parker took the other bulb and threw it making yet another portal, he jumped in and was back at Elder John's study house. "Welcome back. Lets here your thoughts, I'm certain you have questions." "Yes... Is it possible for her be my soul mate? How is it possible when shes still alive and I'm a ghost?" "Confusing I know, but I've seen this before. As for her being human it can change by a simple potion. You must tell her though, that you both are soul mates, its very important." "You have? A potion, what kind of potion and can we even make one for her? Wait why should I tell her? She'll think I'm some lunatic person." "Yes I have. This potion is to turn her into a ghost forever meaning she won't be alive ever again, but living like you and me and she'll be able to see other ghosts as well. We could make a potion for her, but she'll have to willingly give up her life and drink the potion to become a ghost. She may think that, but believe my word on it; you must tell her since she met you now and still human . She can go on a date and if they kiss you will appear on my window sill over there as a rock and the only way to return as a ghost is if your soul mate comes and takes you to the spot where you both met first and then the mate kisses the rock. Once that is done you return to your former ghost form, but if she kisses someone else again you won't be on my window sill you'll be poof.. gone forever." "Oh, I see now why I have to tell her. How can I ask her to give her life up for us and my life? That be unfair." "Yes. I know that its unfair, but you need to tell her. In the end hopefully she'll do what is right for both of you. Off you go, go watch the comet with Maria and don't forget to tell her." "Will do." Elder John going through his draw looking for a bulb so Parker could go faster, but Parker said "No.. its ok. I'm going to fly, that way I can think. Thank you Elder John for your help and wisdom." "I see. Your welcome and good luck telling Maria." Parker didn't say anything, he arrived at the hotel room, "Oh; welcome back. So are you done helping Elder?" "Thank you and yes I am." Smiling she said "well that's nice and you made it too see the comet." "Yes indeed." Such an amazing sight to see a comet walk across the night sky, Maria was heading to bed when she asked "Did Elder John tell you why I can see you on starry nights?" "Oh..um he's going to look through his library see if there's an answer." "Fine. Well goodnight." "Goodnight." Maria slipped in the bed "I'm going down to the shore, to walk around." "Alright, have fun Parker." Parker left through the window to the shore, he definitely walked, but mostly talked to himself about all learned from Elder about soul mate. Parker decided he won't tell her just yet, for she is occupied with work and try to think of how to let it out easily.
