I'm so tired its not even funny... I apologize in advance if this chapter sucks.


Lexi giggled slightly as her mother Vivianna carefully brushed her now braided hair out of her face. It was so nice to have her mother back... the older shadow woman bent down by Lexi, carefully grabbing her shoulders.

" Lexi, honey, I have to go now and check on Jack. He isn't feeling well, and I think he's coming down with something."

Lexi frowned, folding her hands behind her back.

" Ok mom. Do you by any chance know what he's got? "

Vivianna frowned, looking down a bit.

" I think he's caught the stomach flu. "

" Oh no! "

The older smiled softly, hugging her child.

" Don't worry hun. He'll be fine. "

The two slowly departed, Lexi sadly waving goodbye to her mother. Despite the fact that her dad had somehow gotten sick, she'd still had a nice day. She'd had the chance to hang out with her mother, and that was great. She hadn't seen Vivianna in years... it was great to catch up again.

" Um... Lexi...? "

The demon girl gasped suddenly and turned around to face a very timid looking Casper, who was blushing and had his hands behind his back. Lexi smiled and turned her body to face him as well.

" Yes Casper? Can I help you? "

" Um... I-I was wondering if... "

The poor ghost felt so tongue tied right now. Lexi was just so beautiful... especially when her hair was braided. It was as if his mind had just shut down or something.

" I-if you'd like to... "

Lexi crossed her arms, still a playful expression on her face, putting more support on one hip. Of course this tongue tied Casper even further.

" I-if uh... "

" Yes? "

Casper knew he had to do this... he was just so scared of asking. And the fact that Lexi looked so easy going right now didn't help.

" If you'd like to- "

" Lexi! "

The two jumped and turned to see Vivianna again, racing up to the pair. She looked... concerned. And or determined.

" Yes mom? "

" Your father would like to see you. "

Lexi frowned a little, but nodded. Quickly turning to Casper, the shadow girl zipped forward and hugged her boyfriend, causing his face to redden even further.

" Ask me later ok? "

Casper sighed dreamily, almost forgetting what he was going to ask.

" Ok... "

Lexi smiled and pulled away, kissing the ghost boy on the cheek, quickly rushing off afterwards. Casper sighed again, slowly falling to the floor. This... was going to be harder than he thought...


Lexi slowly approached her fathers bed side, frowning slightly at his condition. His skins had paled into a light gray hue. About Thatch's shade. If that wasn't a sign he wasn't feeling well, she wasn't sure what was. Slowly she sat beside him on the bed.

" Yes dad? "

Jack smiled weakly, struggling to sit up.

" I'm sorry... I don't mean to bother you... but would you mind getting me some sprite? I'm afraid they don't have it here at scare school... "

Lexi frowned softly, carefully taking her fathers hand.

" Not feeling so good daddy...? "

Jack almost paled further at the thought.

" Nah. I think I caught it from Fatch. "

Lexi gasped, bringing her legs close.

" You're not gonna die are you?! "

Jack blinked, almost forgetting what she was talking about.

" Oh no. You can't catch a demonic illness. Just the symptoms. "

That was a relief. Vivianna suddenly came into view, carefully brushing the older's hair from his face.

" I wouldn't mind doing it myself, but I have to teach Jack's class for him. You don't mind, do you honey? "

Lexi smiled, shaking her head softly.

" I don't mind. Take it easy dad, ok? "

Jacks cheeks puffed up for a second, but it seemed like he calmed down shortly.

" Sure thing kiddo. Watch out for the sunlight. "

The three shared a laugh, Lexi quietly leaving the room.


" So Lexi... "

Casper asked quietly. The day had ended, Casper was saying good night to his girlfriend.

" You had a very eventful day... "

Lexi had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. Of course she had. What was he getting at? Did it have anything to do with what he was trying to ask earlier?

" By the way Casper... "

She began. She might as well know.

" What were you gonna say earlier? "

The ghost's face heated up again, as if the very thought of it made him nervous. And maybe it did. Who knows?

" W-well... would you like to, you know... Uh... "

Lexi smirked, now catching on. He was trying to ask her out. Sweet little thing.

" Go... out...? "

Hurray! He said it! Lexi blushed a bright crimson, folding her arms behind her back.

" I'd love to. "

Casper's eyes went wide upon hearing this.

" R-really?! "

" Of course! Just let me know when. "

Casper smiled, silently cheering in his mind. She said yes! This was going to be perfect!
