Future Tense

Warren had wandered away from the ghost couple making out. The older woman was nowhere to be found, and the restaurant had blinked out into the hallway of a normal looking high school. A skinny girl with long brown hair stared at him.

"Let me guess, ghost of Christmas-yet-to-pass?" Warren rolled his eyes.

She nodded, but didn't speak. She just stood there, sizing him up. Warren had a bad feeling that she was going to pull the whole mime routine.

"I could take you," she shrugged. "You look like a meat-head jock. And I've beat the shit out of your type before. That was before I had slayer-strength."

"Okay. But you're a ghost, and you can't touch me, right?"

"Sometimes. I'm Amanda."

"Warren."

"Dossier. I know."

"So get on with the lecture of my needing to forgive and make good choices."

"Why should I bother? Cassie's shared her visions with all of us. We all know how this is going to go down. If you listen to a lecture or not, its only a small part of this whole therapy session."

"Then what the hell am I doing here if it doesn't matter?" Warren snapped, glaring at the girl.

"I never said the Powers made sense," Amanda rolled her eyes. "I'm supposed to preach on how being angry and vengeful will only lead to trouble. Nothing good happened to me and I was all about the vengeance or whatever. Apparently, I'm the poster-child for anger management ads. Slam one football player's head into the windshield of his daddy's car and suddenly you're a problem child."

"You did what?"

"And I died a violent and bloody end at the hands of uber-vampires. Saving the stupid world. And all the jocks that inhabit it."

"Jeez, Amanda, can you be more cheerful?" Cassie said hurriedly rushing back towards them from where she'd been hanging off of Jesse. "She can be a bit - much to handle."

"Says the ghost who hooked up with the first dead guy she saw," Amanda rolled her eyes again.

"I gotta say, I like her," Warren gave her a small, sad smile. "It sucks that you're dead. You'd have been a cool friend to have."

Cassie and Amanda gave him a confused look. Warren's smile grew as he moved forward and gave Amanda a small ghost of a kiss on her forehead. Amanda's eyes got heavy with unshed tears. She gave him a not so gentle punch to the shoulder and cleared her throat.

"I've got some advice for you. You treat those girls good, or I'll come haunt your ass. And avoid the suit. He's a pain in the ass," Amanda chewed her lip. "Hot, but a pain in the ass."

Warren frowned. What suit? Before he could ask for clarification, Joyce appeared behind Amanda with an arm around Jesse's shoulder. She gave him an encouraging smile while Cassie put him back under. The three spirits hoped their little sessions would help, and Cassie gave them a confidant grin. Let the senior partners try what they would. Their girls, and the son of an enemy would sway him over to the good fight.
