"Where could they be?" said Parker and right after saying one sentence Leslie noticed that Parker was fading. Before Parker totally disappeared he said "Maria kissed." Leslie taking her cell phone out and dialed her niece, Hillary. "Is Maria there?" "No." " I'm coming over to wait for her. I'll tell you the sort of long complicated story." "Okay." Within minutes Leslie was over Hillary's apartment telling her everything Parker told her. "Oh, so that's why you asked me to watch for and stop them if they were going to kiss.." "Yes."
Before they knew it they heard Maria's voice outside the apartment door. "Goodni-ght." Leslie pulled Maria inside Hillary's apartment before goodnight turned into a kiss. Through the closed door Danny said " I'll call you later" and left. "What was that about?" "Its a long story, so lets start on how I'm psychic. You know that right?" "Yeah and what does that have to do with Danny and me?" "Well Parker and I talked. He was telling me what this other ghost , Elder John told him and didn't tell you." "Yeah; wait what do you mean didn't tell me? He told me everything." "No he didn't. Remember how he had a face and you asked him 'what is it'?" "Yeah.?" "He said nothing when he should of said told you that you're his soul mate." "What? That's crazy, we can't be soul mates! He's a ghost I'm not." "That is true, but if you choose to become one Elder John can make a potion to help. Course we first have go to an island get a rock from Elder john. Since you have kissed Danny earlier Parker disappeared and reappeared at Elder John's on his window sill as a rock. If you have kissed Danny the second time Parker would disappear, be gone forever as if he never existed." "If that is true then why didn't Parker tell me earlier or when we were at Elder John's?" "Well would you have believed him, what would you say if he told you at Elder John's or a few days ago?" "..Probably not, if he told me at Elder John's or days ago I would of think he was crazy." "He was right, he told me you would think he was some crazy lunatic and didn't want scare you either." "Oh... I do admit its nice and comforting to talk and be around Parker, its like nothing bad could harm me" Hillary still there listening had a tear fall, hearing her best friend say something so beautiful as if magic was surrounded and telling her what to say. Felt like eternity till someone spoke up, "lets pack and go; I'll book a hotel room." "Right now? How about work tomorrow, I mean I do want Parker back in my life." "Just call in sick. Where did you and Parker meet? I know you both met on a beach, but where?" "Fine. Oh we met in South Carolina near a lamp post behind the Beach Resort Hotel." "I'm coming with you guys, you know how I'm a full for romantic stuff plus your my friend Maria." Nothing else was said Maria, Hillary, and Leslie packed a few amount a things unsure how long they'll be. Leslie also booked a plane ride and rooms at Beach Resort.
In amount of time Leslie, Maria, and Hillary was at a hotel on Maui, which is one of the seven Hawaiian islands. On the south beach looking out toward the ocean seeing Kaho'olawe one of the islands Parker circled. "It's late we should get some rest , we'll go to the island tomorrow; Goodnight." In unison as if practiced Hillary and Maria said "goodnight." After some sleep Leslie rented a boat for the entire day; all three heading to Kaho'olawe. In no time they reached the island, Leslie couldn't believe her eyes "unbelievable." "What is it Aunt Leslie ?" "I never seen so many spirits." "Really?" "Really." Without hesitating Leslie came upon the beach, got out of the boat looking around still in amazement, went up to a ghost. "Excuse me do you know if Elder John is on this island?" ".. No he's not on this island. You must be a psychic if you can see me. Can you see the others?" "I am a psychic and yes I can see the others. Do you know when he'll be back?" "Cool, we usually don't have a psychic visit here. And no I don't know when he'll return, he try's to live both on this island and Ni'iau." "Well I'm the only psychic the ones in the boat is a relative and a friend. Maybe we can stay till Elder John returns.?" "Oh my apology for jumping conclusions. It be wise if you did stay, but this island has many dangerous and highly venomous insects, invertebrates, and poisonous plants. So you should go to Ni'iau it doesn't have dangerous animals or plants well unless you go swimming and see a turkey fish or lion fish; they're poisonous. I'll go ahead and tell Elder John has visitors." "No problem. Oh, indeed that be smarter so then we'll meet you at Ni'iau likely tomorrow. Well we best be going." "Alright , yes you or them might get hurt Tomorrow then, hopefully." "Hillary Maria can you help me turn the boat around?" "Yes of course." "Instead of doing that how about all three of you get in that boat I can move you it myself." "Are you sure?" The ghost nodded her head "Alright lets get in the boat, the ghost there will move the boat." Maria, Hillary, and Leslie got in the boat "Sorry I neglect to tell you my name, its Leslie." "Nice to meet you, mine is Sally. Not to be rude, but please don't talk it'll interrupt my concentration." "Nice to meet you.. Yes of course. Maria Hillary don't move or and be quiet so Sally, the spirit can concentrate on moving this boat." Both agreed to do so. Leslie watching and thought that Sally looked sick even if she was a ghost "Sally sorry for interrupting, but why don't you ask for help." "Might be wise after all I need to fly to Ni'iau and I would need strength to do that." Sally left for a moment and went to the first ghost(s) she saw told them the situation. "Leslie these are two of my friends who'll help me move the boat, as I said before no interruption please." "Thank you, yes no interruption." In a moment Sally and her friends had the boat turned around, "I'll be at Ni'iau telling Elder John to stay till I bring you guys to him. I'll meet you on the shore closest to Kauai." "Thank you all for help, okay." "No problem." said all three ghosts. Leslie, Maria, and Hillary finally back on the island and checking out of their hotel booked a plane ride once arrived at the airport.
Still on the airplane Sally was talking to Elder John , whom also agreed to stay and wait for Hillary, Leslie, and Maria. Finally arriving late night, called for a cab and asked the driver to take them to the south west of the island where its closer to Ni'iau, with a nodded of his head the cab was off. Took a moment to find a vacant hotel, but they did and once Hillary, Maria, and Leslie was in their room they fell straight on the beds and slept. It was midday when Hillary woke up while the others still sleep, "Aunt Leslie Maria wake up. Its midday, we have go to the island.!" Shaking them while saying that. "What!" "We slept half of the day away Aunt Leslie." "Maria and Hillary get ready." Everyone got ready, hurried and rented a boat and was on the shore of Ni'iau within hours. As Sally said she kept her word and met us on the shore, took us to see Elder John. "Welcome. I heard from Sally here that one of you is a psychic." "Yes I am. Hello my name is Leslie." "So you are Leslie, family, and friend who wants to talk to me." "Yes, I do hope we're not taking you away from anything important." "No no dear. So what is it you need to talk about?" "I'm only here as a representative, to talk for my friend for she or my niece can not see you or any one here.. I'm here to pick up a stone named Parker for this young women Maria." Gesturing toward Maria; "Ah, yes. I remember meeting Maria. Parker didn't tell her did he?" "No he didn't, but he told me. He was looking for Maria couldn't find her till he returned back to her apartment; where Parker found her asleep and didn't want wake Maria. He said he would tell her the next night, but it was starless so he came found me and ask to tell Maria. We couldn't find her and well the rest is history as you know." "So that's what happened. I told him to tell her, indeed, Leslie where did Parker and Maria meet?" "Behind Beach Resort Hotel in South Carolina.. Why?" "I want you guys to make a reservation there and wait for me; here." Giving Leslie a microphone thing. "This will help me find you faster and tell Maria to think about transforming into a ghost. I will bring the potion with me in case she choose to of there will be little things added that is from her life which I'll explain more if she decides to transform. You all best be going before night hits." "Oh, yes of course. Will do. Wait what about Parker?" "I will bring him, you guys go." "Okay Hillary Maria we're going back to the boat; I'll explain on the way back to Kaua'i."
At beach Resort Hotel, dark and starry Hillary and Maria sitting on the balcony talking while Leslie watching the sky and beach for Elder John. "You'll get sick sick standing out on this balcony at this time of night." Catching her breath for she was startled by Elder John, "I didn't see you coming. I was watching for you, and you brought Sally. Hello." "Me being here won't be trouble will it?" Both Elder John and Leslie looked at each other and then said "no. No problem at all." "So now, Leslie ask Maria if she made up her mind about becoming a ghost." " Maria have you thought what I told you earlier." Maria nodded her head, saying "yes, but first lets get Parker back I want talk to him before I make my mind up." Leslie looked at Elder John, "Well.. Fine, but Leslie you and Hillary watch her back. So now lets go." "He says fine, we're going to the place where you first met Parker. Hillary and I are going to stay close to you till we get back here. Oh when we reach the beach tell us which light post it is." "Alright, will do." All the way down to the beach Hillary and Leslie was by Maria's side like lions or secret agents ready to attack and protect. "That lamp post." Pointing to the right; "Leslie give this to Maria tell her to kiss it." "Will she see this stone?" "Yes its a starry night." With that said Leslie took Maria's hand and put Parker, the rock in her hand "kiss the rock." Maria looked in her hand and saw a flat round rock that had the name Parker on it. "Does it matter where I kiss?" Leslie looked at Elder John waiting for an answer. "It won't matter where." Leslie repeated his answer to Maria. So then Maria faced his name to her face and kissed it and before she knew it Parker was standing wrapped in her arms kissing. "Well done, lets head back to the room." said Elder John, Leslie interrupted Parker and Maria motioning and saying "we need head back to the room." They nodded their heads and like before Hillary and Leslie was like secret agents.
Everyone got back to the room safely without attacking someone; once in the room Maria said, "I need talk to Parker alone." Leslie and Hillary looked at each other, "well fine, but there's not much privacy here to talk without us hearing." "Don't worry about that Leslie, I'll make a sound proof barrier so we won't hear them." "Maria where do you want go to talk to Parker? Elder John can make a sound proof barrier for you and Parker." "Any where is fine, if he can do that. Course if we order something like a late dinner or snack I don't want them to think I'm crazy, so how about that corner." Pointing toward the corner near the bed and night stand. "Good idea the wall will hide the beds, Hillary and I can go to the bathroom without anyone there; and we'll know where you're at." "Wait let me get two chairs for Parker and me, so the barrier won't take up to much space. Wait how will you guys know we're done talking?" Leslie was nodding and then said what Elder John told her, "it won't take space up it'll be an invisible barrier even if any of us walk close it'll show a purple light that even Hillary will be able to see. When you finish talking Parker would move an object something that get our attention. He would take the barrier down himself, but it would take some amount magic which he haven't fully recovered. Being a rock sealed a lot of things, he'll get it back slowly, but for right now he can move little things. Keep that in mind when you try get our attention, something small enough to move yet easy to see." "What Leslie say is true. Yes of course. So then Maria are you ready?" Maria nodded her head, Parker headed toward the corner followed by Maria. " The barrier is up. so-" "Why... Why didn't you tell me? Look at what we had to do, all of us had at least Five plane rides just to end up here. You kept something that I need to hear and you lied to me when we went and visited Elder John to ask him why I could see you when I'm not psychic. Not to mention I was asked to think whether to leave my old life behind to become a ghost like you or keeping living my normal life.. Why aren't you saying anything?" "Your not giving me time to say anything. If you're done speaking is it alright if I talk?" Maria nodded her head.. "Maria I'm so sorry for everything, just that I was scared to tell you. I know I should of told you what Elder John said when we were there or even after that, but you would of thought I was some crazy lunatic.. I was scared not because of that , but I thought you wouldn't believe me and stop talking to me; that I would lose a wonderful friend, my soul mate. I'm sorry for everything I put you and your friends through and for lying to you. Maria I know you have a life and I want nothing , but for you to be happy so what ever you choose I'll be happy." Parker then tried to kiss Maria course he went through her, Parker came back around to face and see Maria's expression..."Let Elder John know we're done and when he removes the barrier leave." "Leave?" "Yes, go away. Don't return for a couple days." "Al-alright." As agreed Parker moved something big enough for them to know Maria and him was done talking. Once the barrier was gone Parker flew off, "where is he going?" Maria looked at Leslie and then said "I'm going to bed, good night." Hillary about to move forward to talk to her, but Leslie grabbed her shoulder shaking her head back and forth. Leslie, Elder John, and Hillary went out on the balcony, "Hillary Maria needs to be alone right now, to think." "Still I could of talked to her maybe help her think." "No this is something she needs to do alone and she'll just feel sadder if we tried to console her." For hours Hillary was listening to her aunt reply to Elder John and then went to bed, Maria on the other hand was still awake going through everything said. Sleepy Maria cried herself to sleep as she fell asleep Leslie came in and layed on the couch welcoming sleep. Parker on the other hand flew to Maria's apartment wishing "I should of told her earlier or when Elder John told me. I'm stupid, she probably hates me now. I hope she doesn't mind I'm at her apartment. Look at me, I'm pathetic I'm talking to myself."
Couple days gone by Maria, Leslie, Hillary, and Elder John still at the hotel. Everyone been watching Maria as if she was a ticking bomb. Night at last, Parker flew in through the balcony door, "hello everyone." Elder John and Leslie said "Hi." "Where's Maria, has she made up her mind?" "She hasn't said nothing since you left." Parker moved toward Maria unsure what to say, Maria looked up to see Parker standing in front of her. "What are you doing here?" "You said a couple days, so.." "Leave me alone. Forever!" Parker looking at her and then at Leslie and Elder John back to Maria, "What are you still doing here go." "As you wish. Hope your life goes well.. Bye." Parker left immediately, "wait why did you tell him to go forever don't you love him. Aunt Leslie say something." Leslie shrugged instead Maria spoke up, "lets go home." "Elder John can you come on the balcony I need talk to you." "fine." "Can you come with us, just in case?" "I'm sorry, but I can't the other ghosts might need me. Although if you need contact me here." Giving her a piece of cloth "summon me if something change." "Oh, thank you."
