Kathleen *Kat* Harvey has just arrived at the Whipstaff Manor after school. She rushed inside and was excited to see her best friend who happens to be a ghost Casper.
"Casper! I'm home!" Kat called out. Her dad appeared from the top stairs. Kat looked up to see Dr. James Harvey smiling.
"Weird... I thought fathers should be called out after their daughters arrived from school." her father said smiling. Kat smiled sheepishly and climbed up stairs and gave her Dad a hug.
"Sorry Dad." Kat apologized. James just smiled and nodded.
"It's ok sweetheart. Why the rush to see Casper?" James asked his daughter.
"Oh. I promised to go to the lighthouse with him after school…" She paused and looked around. "Where is he?" she asked.
Her dad shrugged.
"I don't know haven't seen him since breakfast check his or your room maybe he's there." her dad suggested. Kat only smiled and left to go the their bed room which is kinda weird, they were first fighting over the bedroom but now they just compromised and shared the room.
Kat walked up to her room, "Casper you here?" she opened the door seeing Casper wasn't there.
Where could he be? She thought and just placed her school bag on her bed. She went to the kitchen hoping to find him there.
Maybe he's cooking dinner. She hopefully thought. Unfortunately she just saw the ghost trio gobbling food but no Casper.
"Oh great." She muttered. Stretch who heard her mutter. "Look guys its bulbhead's girlfriend!" Stretch teased. Fatso and Stinkie just laughed and gave each other hifives.
She rolled her eyes on them and ignored. "Have you seen Casper?" she asked.
"No we did not…. Even if we did we wouldn't tell you!" Stretch said. Kat gave him a glare and walked out of the kitchen.
Assholes…she thought and decided to go to the playroom hoping he's there but again he wasn't. Her last choice was to go the lab but to her surprise, there's suddenly a door blocking the entrance of the cave.
"What the…." She breathed. She was getting really worried about Casper and ran to see her father in the library.
"Dad!" she called as she went in. Dr. Harvey's face lifted up obviously startled to see his daughter.
"What's the matter cupcake?" he asked concerned.
"Do you know why the lab has a door blocking the entrance?" Kat asked really worried.
Dr Harvey paused. "Oh yes. Casper wanted to install a door there. He asked me last week if I could. I didn't ask why but I just agreed. It was installed just this morning." Dr Harvey explained.
"But why would Casper lock himself in the lab?" Kat asked.
"I don't know cupcake. But at least we know that's he's in that lab." James said. Kat just gave him a sigh.
"Don't worry sweetheart. I'm sure Casper will come out soon maybe he's just cleaning." James said giving his daughter a pat on the shoulder.
"Yeah I hope." Kat slightly smiled.
Later that night, Kat waited for Casper to come out, he missed dinner and Kat didn't bother to knock the newly installed door to the lab since she didn't wanna disturb him. But it was already midnight and he hasn't come out yet. She decided to go and see him in the lab. But first she brought leftover dinner for him incase he was hungry.
She used the up and at machine and the machine stopped infront of the door. She breathed in and out and just knocked the door.
"Casper?" she called out and knocked. But there was no answer.
"Casper!" She called out again but this time loudly. She just knocked and knocked. She waited for awhile and the door suddenly opened. There Casper came out the door. He looked tired.
"Casper!" Kat smiled and hugged him with her arm. Her other arm was carrying a plate.
"Kat? Why are you still awake?" he asked softly.
"I should ask you the same thing…. What's with the installing door to the lab. I thought you like your father's invention." Kat said very worried. Casper just smiled at her and ignored her question.
"Hey you brought dinner?" Casper asked referring to the food. Kat almost forgotten about the food.
"Yeah since you didn't eat dinner, I decided to bring you some food cause maybe you're hungry." Kat said handing him the food. He took it from her.
"Thanks Kat. You know you better go to bed, you still have classes tomorrow." Casper said. Kat looked down.
"Aren't you gonna also gonna sleep? I mean you look tired." Kat asked. Casper shook his head.
"I'll be there in a minute; I just have to finish something." Casper said. Kat felt like he was hiding something from her.
"Are you hiding something?" Kat asked suspiciously. Casper immediately shook his head.
"No I'm not….. just go to bed. I'll be there with you in a minute." Casper said. Kat felt like he was lying but her tiredness got to her first and decided to not ask anymore.
"Alright, but I'll be waiting." She said as she yawned. Casper smiled at her and kissed her forehead. Kat felt good at that moment although at first she felt cold with his touch but this time it gave her warmth and she was confused by what she was feeling but then ignored it.
"Good girl." Casper whispered. Kat sat down to the chair and Casper pulled a lever and the up and at machine moved Kat back to the library.
Kat lay down on her bed and was waiting for Casper but her eyelids drop heavily and did not realize she was already in deep sleep.
~~~o
She sat on one of the chair on the corners. She watched her classmates danced with their partners. She sighed and looked miserably. How could Vic do that to her? She hate Vic. She hates Amber. She hates the Halloween. It was her house and she was the only one who did not enjoy the party.
Suddenly a young blonde guy walked up to her. The girls were looking at him and it was obvious the girls were fantasizing him. She looked up and saw him. He offered his hand and she took.
Those blue eyes? Have I seen them before? She thought he looked strangle familiar and had to admit he was very good looking.
They looked into each others eyes as they walked. They were so close now. He took her hand and wrapped it around his neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She could feel his breath on her mouth. They were slowly dancing to the music. And she realized they were floating in air.
She gasps and clings on to him. She could feel him smirk. Then he whispered." I told you I was a good dancer…"
Her heart lifted up. But something shocked her more.
"Can I keep you?" he whispered looking at her. Only one boy would ask her that, only one boy asked her that question while she sleeps.
She looked at him and whispered, "Casper?" Could it really be?
He smiled. She nearly fainted by the beautiful smile but was more surprised to see Casper in his human form. She gave him a big smile and hugged him tightly. She buried her face on his chest and he leaned his head to hers breathing in her scent as they dance.
Then the horrible clock made a sound, It was already 10 o'clock. She felt his head away from her and stared at him with confused eyes. "Casper?"
Then again he only smiled and leaned in to her, she didn't want to wait, she could feel his breath on her mouth and she closed the gap between them leading them to a sweet kiss.
His mouth was sweet and soft. For a ghost he isn't a bad kisser she thought.

She woke up and looked at the ceiling. She groaned and was very disappointed that it was a dream. A dream that happened in the past when Casper turned into a human again. "Oh how I would kill to turn back time…." she thought. She looked beside her and saw a note.
You look super cute when you sleep. Didn't bother to wake you up. Breakfast is ready. Pancakes your favorite and eggs just the way you like them.
Casper
She blushed and smiled. "He's so sweet."
She took a shower and wore her clothes and went downstairs excited to see Casper and to eat her favorite breakfast that he always readied for her every morning.
