Why, hello! I was listening to the song "Umbrella" and thought about my favourite scene in Ghost Trick (which was the part at the beginning where Sissel sends an umbrella down to Lynne in the rain). It's so cute! And so this oneshot came into existence.
Sissel's POV
She looked so sad.
Kneeling there in the rain, like she had lost all hope. He could relate to her a little.
He was dead, and she was alive. Different souls. Different situations. Same feeling.
Well, he wasn't the kind of guy to let a woman get drenched in the rain. As much as he would have liked to walk up and comfort her, he couldn't. Lucky there was an umbrella nearby, then. Maybe there was something he could do.
Lynne's POV
It was so scary to be alone.
She had almost been killed, but somehow she escaped.
What's going on?! she thought, almost in tears. Who's doing this?! I don't want to die!
She was all alone. Detective Jowd was in prison for something he didn't do, Kamila was at home with only little Missile for comfort, and now someone had just died on her account. I mean, sure, he tried to kill her first, but everything had went noticeably in her favour, and she was not a malicious person.
Just then, an umbrella drifted by.
Sissel's POV
The ghost could tell she felt guilty and nervous about the events. She had twigged that something was up. He couldn't stand to see the lady soaked any longer. He had sent down the umbrella. It was the only thing he could do, after all.
As she picked it up and opened it, he grinned to himself. He wouldn't let this innocent woman suffer needlessly any more than she had already.
Lynne's POV
An umbrella?
What was going on? First the hitman, now some strange abnormal stalker was after her!
Hold it.
Maybe it wasn't a stalker. Maybe it was... someone who wanted to help.
The more she thought about it, the more she saw she was right. Why would an evil person send her an umbrella in the pouring rain? She picked it up and opened it. Her sixth sense kicked in, and she knew that person was close by. She couldn't see them, but it was okay.
Whoever's out there... whoever you are... thank you.
Narrator's POV
That was how it started.
A single act of kindness, and a will to make a difference...
Led them on an adventure of a lifetime, but that is another story that you already know.
So...
Always remember that that sparkling future
began with an umbrella.
So? What did you think? I hope it was OK. I haven't done a split-POV fanfic before, so please bear with me. There probably won't be another chapter, but you never know!
