A/N: DFIGXFCGJETOHFVBXLDT- my first entry to the two-shot contest was FAIL. So I've deleted that and written another one under the same name. This hopefully will prevent you to rip your eyeballs out and stick them back on with toxic glue. Before you read, I want to give a shoutout to Ballet Reader. I read your review about the previous two-shot and you're right- if it's angst, it's GOT to be serious. C; Unless it's humor mixed into of course. BUT THIS ISN'T AN ANGST. IT'S AN ADVENTURE. Kekeke~ you thought I was going to write another angst, didn't c'ha?

"W-What happened to you?" Dan Cahill asked. The woman who stood in front of him, was Irina Spasky, in the flesh, blood seeped from her clothing, dried tears painted on her face. But it was still Irina. She sadly smiled.

"Death happened to me, young Cahill."

She wanted her last sight to be the stars…

She wanted her last thought about her precious…

She wanted her last wish to Amy and Dan…

Her whole body felt numb, despite the flames succumbing her, she felt proud, even though this fire led her to her demise. She was content. Content that she had saved Amy and Dan. Content she'd be seeing her precious Nikolai once more.

She was happy, to put it in the simplest form. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting for her wish, Irina finally gave into the darkness. Forever.

"Hm..." Irina moaned, as she stood up to a standing form. She scanned her surroundings. Fluffy could explain the place she was in, as it seemed she was standing on a cloud.

"Mother…?" A young male's voice piped up. Irina knew that voice. A voice that haunted in her dreams. Groaned in and moaned for her to return. She turned around to see-

"Nikolai?" Irina whispered. Her little boy was in front of her. And all she was doing was standing there like an idiot. She tackled her son into a hug. "I missed you," Irina murmured into his hair.

"I missed you too, mother." Nikolai whispered back. At that moment, Irina was about to leak tears. But she would never show that emotion to her son.

"Would you be so kind, but to tell me where I am?" Irina asked. Nikolai shifted. "Niko? What? You still want the stuffed monkey?" Irina teased. Nikolai shook his head.

"You're outside heaven gates." Nikolai said.

"Okay then, so let's go in." Irina answered. Nikolai shook his head once more. "I don't understand Niko, why don't you want to go in?"

"Because you can't. Not until you pass their test." Nikolai explained. Irina must've had confusion written all over her face as Nikolai sighed and tried to explain. "The people I'm referring to are the entrance guards, they require you to go back to Earth and help one human. And… unfortunately… it must be a Cahill." Irina widen her eyes at that.

"But just helped Amy and Dan, I saved their lives!" Irina exclaimed.

"That was before death, mother, you also have to assist them for find one clue, and then you shall have entrance through the gates of heaven.

"I died young, so I didn't have to pass their test." Nikolai finished. Irina sighed.

"I'm certainly not going to help the Kabra, filthy rich brats… the Holts will simply shout at me for question their 'smartitude' and Alistair…" Irina trailed off. Nikolai had to smile at that. So my mother likes someone… Nikolai thought.

"I'll settle with the Cahills. They are the least annoying, plus they are ahead in the competition, so it'll be no problem to help them!" Irina exclaimed. Nikolai smiled, but then frowned.

"Yes, but who's the one who'll know?" Nikolai asked. Irina peered at her son.

"All of course, why is it that you ask me this?" Irina questioned her son. She was quite peculiar of how much her son knew about these things if he hadn't been through them himself.

"Only one person can know. And you have to choose whom." Nikolai explained. Oh dear, that's not good. Irina thought.

"I guess I shall pick…" Irina began.

"! This is so cool! Y-You're a ghost!" Dan Cahill exclaimed. He had eaten too many Skittles and he was extremely hyper. Irina had tried to get to Amy's part of the boat, but sadly she had pinpointed Dan's room instead.

"Yes, now shush, I'll be helping you find one clue only and after that, I'm gone." Irina hissed. Dan cringed slightly.

"I get to tell Amy and Alistair, right?" Dan asked. Irina shook her head. Dan's face fell low. "Oh,"

"We're heading to Pretoria, South Africa, and really do need your h-" Dan began but was cut off by Amy. "Hide!" Dan harshly whispered. Irina scrambled into a nearby closet and shutting the door behind her. Dan's door creaked open.

"Dan? I heard talking, what's going on?" Amy demanded. Dan stumbled to find an excuse He promised Irina he wouldn't reveal her secret.

"Ahhhh, I was talking to myself?" Dan said, more like a question than an answer. At least he's trying to hide me. Irina thought, before she slipped on some marbles Dan had left in the closet. She landed on the bottom on the closet with a loud thump.

"What was that?" Amy asked. Dan shrugged. Amy began walking towards the closet. Dan was silently chanting in his head, 'donotopenthedoor donotopenthedoor donotopenthedoor donotopenthedoor'. Amy reached for the handle…

"Please don't open…." Irina murmured to herself. She wanted to be with Nikolai, but the only for that was-

"Oh. My. Goodness." Amy breathed. Busted.

Kekeke~ review, or dieeee. ;D Oh, and the heaven stuff, I'm sorry if you feel religiously offended, in anyway, if you think I'm making fun of, please don't, I just wanted to add it as I had a brainfart and minor writers' block. And basically after Irina's death, she is sent to heaven where she meets her son. But for her to live within heaven gates, she must help a Cahill find ONE clue. So yeah. xD
