Couple months gone by and nothing change; Maria still talk to Parker some nights other nights she talks to Hillary. One day Hillary came up to Maria and said "you need to get back into dating... Don't be mad at me, but I set you up on a blind date for Friday." "What! Haven't I told you I hate blind dates." "Yes you have, but you need to get back into the dating swing. I didn't tell him that you agreed or anything so its not technically official, so why don't you think about it and tell me Friday." "I know. Oh , well fine I'll think about it. Whats his name?" "Yay! His name is Danny." For almost an hour Hillary told Maria about Danny, Parker on the other hand was talking to himself cause he hasn't yet told Maria what Elder John told him about soul mates and such.
Time fly's by, before Maria knew it it was Friday and she hasn't given Hillary her answer about going out with Danny. The stars was coming out and Parker right in front of Maria pulls out a rope saying "come I want take you somewhere." "Where?" "Its a surprise." Smiling she said ok forgetting to tell Hillary no about the date. After changing into a shirt and pair of jeans; Maria got by the big open window by the little room bookshelf and tied the rope to her wrist. Yes its the same rope that lets her fly with Parker, that is if Parker is holding the rope too. Parker also tied the rope to him, both him and Maria is holding it even if it that rope is tied to their wrist. As they hopped out the window Hillary came in the door to see that Maria jumped out. Running over to the window to see if Maria grabbed a hold of something or to see her blood on the sidewalk, instead Hillary saw her friend safe and floating. Like a statue Hillary was just staring in amazement, finally moving she closed the window leaving it unlock, called Danny telling him that she got busy with work. Hillary decided to wait on the couch and watched a movie, an hour gone by and Maria is not back. Still in the air Maria finally ask, "Parker where are we going?" "Like I said before its a surprise." Maria not much for surprises, but she trusts him, so then for nearly an hour of silence they arrived. "You know where your at now, right?" "Yes, the beach where we first met each other." "Indeed." Rope still tied to them Parker gently backs up a little bows saying "may I have this dance?" "Here?" "Yes." "There's no music." "So, we don't need music." Maria nods her head and does a curtsey, on the beach underneath the starry sky; they danced for what seemed like hours. Parker sadly stops, "we need to head back you have work tomorrow." With a sad look Maria nodded. Off they went, flying back home, "don't be sad Maria we'll do this again." Maria's expression changed, all the way home she was smiling... Hillary saw the time almost midnight she decided to be on the couch pretending to sleep and even if Hillary does fall asleep its ok cause shes a light sleeper so she'll hear what ever noise Maria makes.
Parker and Maria stopping to open Maria's window, came in and saw Hillary on the couch sleeping. For what they knew Hillary was sleeping, but Hillary knew either wise. Parker untied the rope and went to Maria's bedroom while Maria went to the bathroom to change into pajamas and then joined Parker. Maria didn't know it; but Hillary was watching her in her room and saw that Maria put something in the night stand drawer and talk for little bit to know one but herself. When Hillary saw Maria fall asleep she went in the room expecting someone was their maybe where she could not see, but no one was their. So then Hillary went to the night stand opened the drawer to see what she placed in their... "A rope?" Parker who was watching was also surprised to see that Hillary was pulling there leg, that she wasn't really sleeping. Hillary pushed the drawer shut leaving the rope in their, and went back to her apartment for some actual sleep.
The next day Maria woke up did her usual ruin tine then went across to Hillary's apartment door and knocked; Hillary opened the door, "why aren't you dressed?" "I'm not going to work today, I'm sick." "Oh.. Do you want me to stay home and help you in anyway?" "No, I'll be fine. I made some chicken soup already." "Hm well ok then. I'll see you when I get home. Feel better." After ten minutes Hillary called her aunt and told her what happened yesterday; "Hillary please bring that rope over." Said her aunt Leslie. Hillary went into Maria's apartment's bedroom opened the night stand drawer and got the rope, and then left for her aunt's house which is amount streets over. Leslie can see what people feel, been through, and thoughts by touching something they touched before, but that's not all she's also a psychic.
Knocking on the door, aunt lesie opened the door "Hello aunt lesie." "Hello, come in Hillary." Hillary going in her aunt's house heading to the back room where Leslie takes her customers when they need help. Leslie and Hillary taking there seats, "so then wheres this rope?" As Hillary put the rope on the table she said "here it is." Leslie takes the rope in hand looks at it carefully, reading the thoughts and know what Maria's feelings are, but she saw that she wants to see this person named Parker. "Seems Maria is waiting to see someone named Parker. Do you know any one named Parker?" " I don't know anyone named Parker, heck Maria doesn't even know a Parker well at least I thought she didn't." "Wait this Parker fellow is different somehow. Excuse me Hillary I'm getting my globe." Leslie got her all seeing globe placed the rope on top of it to see how Maria and Parker first met. Gasping in amazement then said "Maria knows a Parker, but he's..different." "How is he different? And why didn't Maria tell me she met someone named Parker?" "Well she couldn't figure how to tell her friend that she met a ghost named Parker." "G-Ghost?!" "Yes, I said ghost." "Can you summon him and ask him why he is bothering Maria or showing up in her life." "Yes I can, but first I'm going to see how much of a bond they have by taking a small strand of this rope. I'm taking two strands to see there bond and to summon him."
Leslie took the one strand and threw it in a special pan anyway the strand floated up a little still on fire and then the fire turned blue. "So?" "That's different, usually I have a floating flamed object, but never a blue fire floating one." "What does that mean?" ""well the floating means they have and the way I see it a tight bond since it went up a good distance; as for the blue it could mean a number of things... So then lets summon this Parker fellow." Nodded her head and Leslie threw the strand in the fire again and picked up a bell and started shaking gently. While Leslie was ringing the bell Parker and Maria felt something in their stomach that looked like they got hit by a bat. Parker then appeared in front of Leslie; as for Maria she looked better, but she felt nauseous yet Maria still worked. "Whats going on? Where am I?" "I assume you are Parker Hello my name is Leslie Chesterfield and I summoned you here." "I am, uh hello Leslie So why did you summon me?" " Well because my niece here, you probably recognize her.." interrupted for a moment by Parker "Ah yes Maria's co-worker and friend Hillary." "Yes. You see Hillary saw Maria go out the window and was floating or flying and wondered how. She talks to me a lot about many things. Anyway would you care to answer all of my questions?" "Oh...well honestly I don't think its any of yours or Hillary's business to know anything. I do admire you both care for Maria , but so do I. I'm sorry if I sound rude, I'm leaving now." "Parker you can't leave just like that I summoned you so you can't leave without me closing the fire here. As I see it your nice, caring, and considerate ghost. I understand that its not our business, but wouldn't you intervene in a friend's life if you think they're in danger or just because your scared they might get hurt?" Hillary broke in "Listen here Parker it is my business and we're not letting you leave till we get our questions answered." "Hillary just stay calm and let me handle this,ok?" " So..Parker?" "I see what you mean, I guess your right I would be concerned about my friends. What's your questions?" Leslie smiling and then started, "why are you bothering and staying by Maria's side?" "I asked if I could tag along with her for a reason... a reason that happens to be sort of a long story." "Well then lets hear this long story, I got time." Parker told Leslie everything since Maria and him met up to the end of the meeting with Elder John, before Leslie began to talk Parker requested that she won't tell Hillary for she would tell Maria. "Yes... That is interesting Parker I'm going let you go, but later I'm going to drop by Maria's apartment and I want you to follow me so I can talk to you. Is that ok?" If you don't I'll summon you again." "Yes." Leslie taking a strand from the rope and Parker saw it "that rope. Where did you get it?" "Well Hillary got it for me." "what, close the fire immediately! I'll explain later." Leslie didn't question his urgency and extinguish the fire. After the fire was gone Maria didn't feel nauseous anymore; "Aunt Leslie what about the rope, you said I got it." "He asked where I got it and then asked to close the fire.. He seemed a little scared like, but he'll tell me why later. Meanwhile why don't you go back home Hillary and don't forget the rope." "Hmm, ok. Bye Aunt Leslie see you late."
