Mai was staring at the ceiling of her room as she told Marsha about the dream. (this is after they were running through the halls. they were trying to find paper and what not)

"So Ruby murdered about twelve men and then she killed herself right?" Marsha asked.

"That's what happened. But why would she attack others including us?" Mai asked.

"Tormented or conflicted spirits in life are also tormented and conflicted in death. They no longer remember right from wrong. They also don't remember who they're truly angry at." Marsha said as she surfed the internet.

"And you're on the internet why?"

"To see if I can find something." Marsha explained as the screen went black with pink blinking typing keys. "That's weird."

Watching the screen as something typed on the keys. They read the message on the screen.

Girls who stick their nose where they don't belong must be punished.

The windows and doors that were opened slammed shut and locked. Mai jumped and Marsha got to her feet with Shadow on her shoulder. A plate flew the air close to them and crashed into a wall causing Mai to scream and grab onto Marsha arm. A few more plates later and the broken glass from them were coupled with the knives that now flew through it. Mai screamed louder as they jumped, ran, trying to avoid the objects at all cost. The pounding of multiple feet echoed from down the hall before came to a stop at their door.

"Patty, Liz. What's going on?" Monk asked.

"Patty duck." Marsha yelled pushing Mai to the ground as a knife zooming for both of their abdomens flew by where they were just standing.

"Answer us!" Ayako demanded.

"The ghost is attacking. Bust down the door or something or we're going to become shish kabobs." Mai yelled.

The sound of splintering wood was heard as the door was kicked open and the objects stopped in midair. A group of knives right above the two and began to plummet toward them. On instinct Marsha threw her hands up and froze them in midair a good five inches away from them. Rolling out from under them they got up and the knives embedded themselves into the floorboards.

"Are the two of you okay?" Naru asked as Mai quaked in fear.

"Well we're not dead." Marsha said and received a glare from the boy. "Sorry."

Walking around the wreckage that had once been a room they picked through the objects to see if their ghost had left any hints or something.

"Looks like this things going to need repairs." Monk noted as he pointed at the laptop that had multiple cracks in the screen and the keyboard was missing keys and some of them also had cracks in the screen.

"I just hope the warranty covers it." Marsha joked eliciting an awkward laugh from Mai.

"Guess you'll have to pack up your stuff and move to another room." Naru said.

"Right we'll get right on that as soon as you all leave." Marsha explained.

Leaving the room Mai turned to Marsha.

"Why didn't you tell them?" Mai demanded.

"Because this ghost is onto us. Mai if we told them we'd be screwed. Now pack up your bags." she said.

How can you be such an emotionless robot like Naru sometimes?

I'm not an emotionless robot ever. I just happen to want to achieve an objective first and deal with feelings later.

Well why didn't you just say so?

"Wait did you just answer the thought in my head?" Marsha asked.

"We were talking weren't we?" she asked.

"Through our heads. Mai I think you have telepathy." Marsha said and got a happy/joyous look on her face.

"Should we tell the guys?" Mai asked.

"We might tell Gene…I think it's time Naru gets a prank pulled on him." Marsha said.

"What are you scheming?" Mai asked.

"I don't know just yet. But we've got till the end of this case to figure it out." Marsha reminded.

"Right." Mai said.

Just remember when Naru finds out your behind it he'll probably fire you.

And that's such a terrible thing.

With SPR

"The spirits becoming more violent." Monk summarized.

"Haven't you found anything on those records?" Ayako asked.

"We have but there have been many deaths here. It wouldn't be surprising if one spirit was getting others to do their bidding and then hiding them all over again." Gene said.

"Never knew spirits could do that." Yasu said.

"Yeah well you don't know a lot of things." Monk reminded.

"True, true. Think the girls got the letter yet?"

Back with the Girls

The girls were looking through their stack of fan mail trying to find which one they'd been sent.

"Got it." Mai said and Marsha walked over and opened up the envelope.

Mai, Marsha we haven't found out much yet. There are too many records of deaths occurring here whether they be accidents, suicide, or murder we can't determine which ghost is attacking you. Mai if you've had any dreams as of late we'd appreciate if you'd help us out before either one of you gets severely hurt or injured.

Gene and Naru

Marsha! Why didn't you tell anyone you and Gene dated!

Signed everyone else

"Great. Blabber mouth Gene has struck again." Marsha muttered.

"Focus on that later. We have to tell them about Ruby. Question is how are we going to do that?" Mai asked.

"I have an idea but you may or may not like it." Marsha said.

"Please tell me we're not…"

"Oh but we are. It's the only tune that will fit with the song."

"Fine but in return you're going to do two things for me."

"Name them."

"Swear on the river Styx first."

"Why the river Styx?"

"I'm only guessing but since Magic's real I'm going to assume the Greek gods were too and so was the river Styx."

"Fine I swear on the old and very ancient no longer exsistent, river Styx."

That Night

"Be so happy Naru is your boyfriend."

"I am."

"You know for someone who's nice on the inside and out you sure have a mean streak when you want to."

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

You just did.

STUPID TELEPATHY!

OW! Mai if you're going to yell in your head close off the telepathy channel first.

Shut up will ya?

The curtains were rising and as they rose past their heads they looked into the audience to see if their friends were there. They were and so was their fan base as Mai had deemed it.

We're going to be pestered about this when its over you know that right?

Yeah I know.

To the audience

The music was playing as the girls appeared. They were wearing the headsets again and each a different style of dress…sort of.

Mai wore a hat that was made of brown leather lacing with a pink distressed leather hatband and bronze-tone stud accents. An oval concho with scalloped edge, floral detail, & center stone was on the hat's band as well. The underside of hat brim was painted pink. It seemed to have a shapeable design with a "U-Style It" wire edge brim. Her shirt had hues of peach, brown, & cream with gold-tone metallic thread create plaid that had a frayed front & back western yokes. She wore a medium denim wash skirt that ended a few inches above the knee with blue, white, & tan decorative stitching. Black & clear rhinestones, blue sequins, & silver-tone studwork highlighted the stitching. Her shoes were made of genuine distressed leather uppers with a medium round toe profile and a smooth composition sole

Marsha hat on the other hand was a wide leatherette hatband with a crackle finish, brass-tone studs, & flower ornaments. A large center concho was accented with geometric pattern & a glitter accent. Brass-tone studs decorate underside of hat brim. Like Mai's it seemed a shapeable design with a "U-Style It" wire edge hat brim. Her top consisted of a white crop top with either spaghetti straps or no sleeves at all under a medium wash denim vest with flowing black embroidery highlights and adjustable back strap. The jeans had heavy stitching in blue, navy, tan, & white hues. The denim had medium wash features moderate distressing, grating, & fading accents. Also like Mai she wore genuine leather cowboy boots though hers were black but had the same medium round toe profile and smooth composition sole.

(I know that's a lot of detail but hey now you get a clear vision of what they both look like…I hope)

You got the bucket, baby

I got the chicken

You got the Smith and Wesson

I got the ammunition

Maybe we could shoot the town

Or sit around finger lickin' yeah

Pulling their hands across their mouths before they walked down the catwalk.

Alone we're not half bad

But we could be a whole lot better

Anybody knows us, knows we're good together

Just a little sliver of sunlight in stormy weather

Like a tear in my beer, we're good together

Good together

You're a pesky little fly

I'm the pink plastic swatter

Marsha pretended to swat a fly out with a pretend swatter.

You're a back seat kinda guy

And I'm the Bishop's daughter

Mai pointed to a random person (*cough* Naru *cough*) before bringing her hands to her hips and swinging them from side to side.

A steamin' jalapeno

Think I need a drink of water

Alone we're not half bad

But we could be a whole lot better

Anybody knows us, knows we're good together

Just a little sliver of sunlight in stormy weather

Like a tear in my beer, we're good together

Good together

They walked back up to the stage.

Let's have a little mixer, a little pick her upper

And all night, hold me tight, candlelight supper

No daddy, no mama, no sister, no brother

Just you and me, a pod and a pea, we compliment each other

As Marsha held out the note Mai did a little thing we'd call a line dance.

Oh yeah, we're good together

Come on baby

Turn me on

I'll turn up the radio

Beneath the velvet Elvis

We can dance just like Jessco

The two girls hooked arms and skipped in circles.

Twirl me like a trailer park in a tornado

Unhooking their arms they spun off Marsha to the right and Mai to the left.

Alone we're not half bad

But we could be a whole lot better

Anybody knows us, knows we're good together

Just a little sliver of sunlight in stormy weather

Like a tear in my beer, we're good together

Good together

Good together

Marsha walked off to one of the band members and they handed her up a black acoustic guitar as she and a few others began the song.

Ever been misunderstood, misused, or misled

Ever knocked on the sky

And had it fall on your head

Well, don't worry 'bout it, don't worry

Ever lost your luggage, your marbles, your house

Or found yourself in bed with Uncle Sam or Mickey Mouse

Ever been accused of murder on Music Row

Or caught in morning traffic when you really gotta go

Oh no!

Both girls shouted the last line.

Life is funny, life's a mess

Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing

Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it

Life gets sticky, life can bruise

Sometimes you win sometimes your losing

No matter what it brings

Don't worry 'bout a thing

Marsha so far was an amazing guitar player and Mai had pulled out a tambourine and was beating it on her hip.

Ever sat yourself down when the seat is all wet

Or see you're "ex" sucking face with a little brunette

Marsha gave an annoyed face to the audience and all of SPR looked at Gene who was blushing insanely.

Don't worry 'bout it, no don't worry

Ever lost your religion, ever lost your best friend

Or found your last record in the bargain bin

Or been stuck in a divorce like crazy glue

Or scraped someone else's gum off the bottom of your shoe

Mai got a disgusted look on her face at those lines.

Boo hoo!

Life is funny, life's a mess

Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing

Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it

Life gets sticky, life can bruise

Sometimes you win sometimes your losing

No matter what it brings

Don't worry 'bout a thing

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah,

Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah,

Blah

Don't worry, don't worry

We all got a little junk in the trunk

And when you're feelin' good as sunk

Mai put an arm around her friend who stopped playing guitar for a few short moments.

Remember, everything will be just fine

If I laugh at yours then you'll laugh at mine

Marsha put an arm around Mai before quickly removing it and began strumming the guitar again as Mai beat the tambourine.

Life is funny, life's a mess

Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing

Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it

Life gets sticky, life can bruise

Sometimes you win sometimes your losing

No matter what it brings

Don't worry

Life is funny, life's a mess

Sometimes a curse, sometimes a blessing

Don't worry 'bout a thing, don't worry 'bout it

Life gets sticky, life can bruise

Sometimes you win sometimes your losing

No matter what it brings

Don't worry 'bout a thing

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah - Blah, Blah,

Blah, Blah, Blah, - Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah

Don't worry, don't worry

Life gets sticky, life can bruise

Sometimes you win sometimes your losing

No matter what it brings

Don't worry 'bout a thing

The crowd applauded and both girls flashed peace signs and SPR immediately began to pay attention.

Ruby's got a government that rules inside her head

A third eye, a crystal ball, her mama always said

It would guide her

If she kept it inside her

Mai had pointed to her head as Marsha played the guitar and sang her lines.

The freak across the street tried to contaminate her skin

She was thinking, "Who would miss him?"

The world's about to end

Mai shrugged for this part.

And he'd fit perfectly into her catastrophe

She's a woman at heart and a man on a mission

A Saint to purify the human condition

She's a fortune teller, but she's never gonna tell

There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

A woman's work is never done

A woman's work is never done

Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

Never done, never when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

She found it funny that nine and ten were easier to do

After she'd meticulously filtered out a few

So this woman had killed multiple people.

Still the voices shout

Take the garbage out

No one really got that line…they guessed it was just because it rhymed or it meant the woman had dumped the bodies somewhere.

She was raised to believe that you get what you pray for

If God was really good then she wouldn't have to wait for

Him to drop the gavel, so she'll do it all herself

There's a worm in the bottom of a dead wishing well

A woman's work is never done

A woman's work is never done

Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

Never done, never when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

When the flashing lights cut through the billowing dust

Her voices cried, "Looks like it's not just us, justice"

Guess she got a little careless with cadaver eleven

Before she'll go to jail

She'd rather go to Heaven

And the final leap of faith of a zealot Jezebel

Led'em diggin'' in the bottom of a dead wishing well

Ooo

A woman's work is never done

A woman's work is never done

Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

Never done, never when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

A woman's work is never done

A woman's work is never done

Never, when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

Never done, never when she's a loaded gun, loaded gun

She's a loaded gun

A woman's work, yeah, yeah

Oh, a woman's work

This, this woman's

This woman's work

From what the SPR team could gather a woman, whether her name was Ruby or not would be discovered later, had killed about twelve men maybe more and thrown them to the bottom of a wishing well before ultimately killing her self.

God only knows how I've needed a friend

Who can see through the boldness and pride

Someone strong enough to put my faith in

Someone willing to let me inside

So be a man

And be my man

Marsha sang the first line of lyrics and they all looked to see Gene was blushing a brick red.

I dare you to need me like nobody else

I dare you to feel me like you've never felt

I dare you to want to want

Want to be good to me

Baby you've got your reasons dangling from kite strings

Can you open your hands and let them fly

I know you won't always say and do the right things

But some things are worth a try

If you can

Be my man

Naru of course remained the same facial expression though his brother knew differently.

I dare you to know me like I've never known

I dare you to show me that I can be shown

Dare you to want to want

Want to be good to me

Tell me I'm

Tell me I'm the one who deserves you

And every time

Every time you know that you want to

Yeah, I dare you

I dare you to hold me like you never will-again

Kiss me and leave the earth standing still

Dare you to want to want

I dare you to need me like nobody else

I dare you to feel me

Like you've never felt

It surprised them how loud and long Marsha could belt a song lyric.

I dare you to want to want

Want to be good to me

Yeah, I dare you to want to want

Want to be good to me

As the next song began the lights flickered and the equipment began to shriek and crackle. Marsha and Mai quickly discarded their headphones with pained expressions as the lights above their heads broke. The shrapnel that fell would ignite on their clothes so they quickly ducked out from beneath. But Mai wasn't fast enough and her clothes burst into flame.

With her small intention span for fear came into play now was not a good time. As the fire made its way up her clothes she screamed as she frantically tried to put it out. Marsha ran over and pulled Mai to her as she smothered the flames with her bare arms. Her face screwed up in pain as the flames burned her skin a little before they were killed.

Pulling her arms away she looked at the burns and hissed when Mai touched them. Stage help came out and quickly removed the girls from the theatre as did everyone who sat watching the girls.
