Mrs. Armstrong was driving by the cemetery and she decided to drop Sue Ellen off. Sue Ellen went to the gravestone and started to pray. As Mrs. Armstrong was reading a newspaper.
Sue Ellen opened her eyes and was in a field of flowers, Fern was there, Sue Ellen was distraught, "I need help."
Fern was sympathetic, "I know; I know you can't talk right now when in the real world."
Sue Ellen was a bit nervous but she had to ask it, "Have you thought of any plans to get back into the real world?"
"No."
A sad smile formed on her face, "I think I got a way."
Fern was nervous about the plan Sue Ellen had, "Don't do anything to hurt yourself."
Sue Ellen left through the portal, but before she actually did, "The next time you see me, you will be back in the living world."
As she left the black cloaked figure came, "Your next assignment will be her, what she plans to do will be an accident, and in addition you are going live for this one. She can see you before she dies."
Fern swallowed hard she had to choose between doing this and saving her beforeSue Ellendies.
Sue Ellen opened her eyes and walked back to the car. Her mother dropped her off back at school as Mrs. Baxter was pulling Buster by the ear out of the school and she was not impressed. "Buster you really done it this time."
"But…"
"I don't know what got into you."
"But…"
"Buster, you stepped over the line, I still don't know what got into you." His mother grumbled, "You are going to apologize to your friends tomorrow."
"I saw dead people," Buster whined.
Mrs. Baxter remembered Buster's clothes, she started to drive, "All your clothes have turned to girl's clothes, and I am not buying any new clothes."
As Mrs. Baxter was driving, Buster had seen the ghost of Fern walking across the street, it had looked like a real person that Buster grabbed the steering wheel and the car drove off the side of the road. The car stopped as Buster screamed, the ghost went towards Buster and went into his body.
Mrs. Baxter just drove him home and sent him to his room, Buster sat in his room he had went to the mirror.
"I am back…" Fern was in his body, she or he rather looked around nervously touching a plant… it didn't die, "Great!"
Fern was ecstatic to go to school tomorrow, but Buster wasn't.
The next day at school Buster went to school, he was wearing the jogging suit again as he didn't want to wear the girls clothes. To everyone it had seemed he was talking to himself.
"Buster, I am in your body now."
"Who is this?"
"Fern."
"Leave me alone!"
"We are going to see Sue Ellen."
"Oh no we aren't!"
"I can make your life a living hell now, do you want that?"
Buster shrieked, and walked towards Sue Ellen, "Sue Ellen, I have some terrible news, Fern's spirit is in my body."
She had walked away saying nothing, she figured it was a mean prank Buster was doing. He was always doing mean things to her.
"What did you say to her?"
"Nothing."
Prunella noticed the goings on and walked towards Buster, "Meet me after school, bring Sue Ellen."
After school Buster (and Fern) as well as Sue Ellen who was reluctant to go with Buster anywhere was over at Prunellas. He was wearing a cloak, "Sue Ellen, Fern is trapped in Busters body, I am going to exercise him, it won't hurt him, but after that she'll disappear."
"…Fern…" Sue Ellen said to everyone's shock, she hadn't spoken in a week.
"Yea, it is me, I don't want you to risk your life to bring be back to the living world."
"But Buster…"
"I know I should be reaping right now but there are some problems, I can't keep up."
Sue Ellen sighed sadly, "Please come back…"
"I will… hopefully."
Sue Ellen covered her face and she started to cry. She missed her best friend, and had been traumatized by this whole ordeal.
Prunella processed to exercise Buster and within moments a flash of light came, Fern's ghost had left Buster's body and disappeared.
Sue Ellen was determined she wiped away her tears, "Do you have some rope?"
"Yea, in the garage," Prunella said as she led her down to the garage Sue Ellen found some, she had taken it and ran off to the dead woods by herself.
Sue Ellen was making a noose with the rope she tied a knot at a branchof a tree that she climbed to, and put the noose around her neck she slipped from the tree and was dangling in mid-air, she was starting to choke.In the land of the dead, the main reaper had said, "Now's your chance."
Fern wearing her grim reaper outfit walked through the portal, Sue Ellen was hanging from the tree the noose was choking the life out of the cat girl as she had seen Fern all in black, Fern paused, she had to make a decision, "Just a second," Fern raised her scythe and cut the rope with it, Sue Ellen landed with a thud onto the grass she was coughing heavily.
Death had appeared, "What did you do?"
"I am not going to take my best friends life!"
"Fine, you were a terrible grim reaper anyways," he had snapped his fingers, Ferns dark cloak had changed back to her normal clothes, he had calmed down, "You are getting a second chance in the living world, not too many people get that, now go take your friend to the hospital."
Fern looked at Sue Ellen; Fern managed a smile, she had done some mouth to mouth to revive the fallen cat girl.
Sue Ellen was coughing as Fern looked over her, "Fern!"
"Yes it's me, I am back, thanks," Fern replied happily.
"Y-you're not dead?"
"Check my pulse…"
Sue Ellen checked and Fern was very well alive, she had all vital signs.
"Won't your parents freak out that you uhh… resurrected?"
Fern sighed as Buster saw her, "Yahh!" the rabbit boy screamed and ran home crying.
Fern offered her explanation, "I haunted him, and I also did some bad things while I was in his body that I am not particularly proud of."
"Such as?"
"Well, now he is grounded for two weeks."
Sue Ellen suddenly passed out; it most likely had something to do with her hanging from the tree gone horribly wrong.
Fern called for help and she got some despite some questionable looks from people.
Sue Ellen woke up in a hospital bed; Fern was sitting by her side, "The doctor said you are going to be alright."
"What I did was so foolish…"
"I know, but you managed to bring me back to the other side,"
"How?"
"Death knew that you would die an accidental death, he wanted me to do the honors, so he sent me to do his bidding live, so I cut the rope with the scythe and managed to save you; however he wasn't too impressed, so he striped me of the soul collecting position and let me live in the living world, not too many people get that chance. He decided to spare your life as well."
They both just smiled as they sat their; Fern's parents were notified, shocked that Fern was alive. Buster on the other hand was still punished by Mrs. Baxter.
When Sue Ellen was released from hospital a day later, she and Fern walked down the halls of Lakewood, when Buster saw her he had ran down the hallway screaming in horror. It had only got worse when Buster was sitting with Fern, Sue Ellen and the Brain.
Buster just had an icy stare as he looked at them both; Mr. Ratburn had difficulty explaining why Fern was back. He hoped no one would ask questions why, but they did anyways.
The End.
