Marcus and Anya were sitting in the living room together with one light on behind them. Anya wanted to talk to Marcus more on his wish since she was eavesdropping. She was feeling really bad about what Marcus said and she decided that it was best that he wishes they were alive so they could all be together. It was gonna break her heart if Marcus wished his close companions were gone again. It would hurt Marcus harder once Anya gets rid of her wish because Marcus would be isolated to himself and probably depressed.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" asked Marcus. Anya grabbed his hand and squeezed it gently, making him look into her pretty eyes.
"Marcus...I've been thinking. And I believe it would be best if Dom, his family, and your father were here again," replied Anya. Marcus' eyes lit up in surprise before raising an eyebrow.
"How did you know I was discussing that with them?"
Anya bit her bottom lip. "I might had been eavesdropping," she admitted softly. Marcus chuckled quietly.
"I had a feeling you were. But Anya, are you really sure? There are in a better place and I don't want them to leave there," said Marcus.
"Marcus," Anya said calmly," We are in a better place too. A nicer, safe place. I'm sure they would feel at home here too. Trust me."
Marcus glanced outside before looking at Anya again. Her eyes twinkled and she smiled at him, squeezing his hand still. Marcus grinned before hugging her tightly.
"Thanks Anya. I love you so much," said Marcus. Anya sniffed, tears were filling her eyes.
"I love you too Marcus. Always have."
"And always will," finished Marcus. They finally let go and decided to stay up a little longer. Meanwhile in Carmine's room. Carmine just got out the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He whistled as he tried finding some underwear and a clean shirt. Once he found it, he put it on and sat on his bed. He still hasn't seen his brothers all night and was starting to get a little worried. He would go look for him but he didn't want people to think he was crazy. Carmine was praying that shooting star would show up again. The moon was bright and full. But that could mean anything. Minutes later, Ben poked his head through the door.
"Clay?" he asked softly. Carmine looked at the door and saw Ben.
"Ben! Get in here before someone sees you!" He exclaimed quietly. Ben quickly came inside with Anthony. Carmine stood up and faced Anthony. Anthony put his hands to the side.
"Hey Clay," he said softly.
"Anthony where have you been? I was worried about you!"
"Look I just went out for a bit just to calm down. I was a little upset. That's all," replied Anthony. Carmine folded his arms over his chest.
"Anthony you have to realize. I didn't mean for the wish to be like that. I want that shooting star back as soon as possible too! But like Sam said, you just gotta be patient and soon we will be touching each other like no tomorrow," said Carmine. Ben giggled.
"He said touching each other," he snickered. Anthony and Carmine groaned.
"Look it's not about the wish," said Anthony," Its about all of us that I'm mad about. I miss Damien. I want us all together again."
Carmine frowned and sat down on his bed. Damien. He forgot about his other brother. He hasn't seen him in years. He thought he was probably dead by now.
"Yeah...yeah I miss Damien too. I wish there was a way we could find where he is," said Carmine.
"Or when that shooting star comes back, you can wish that we were not ghost anymore and Damien was back here so we can all be together," suggested Ben.
"Yeah he could do that too. Come on Clay," urged Anthony. Carmine looked outside through the window before back at his brothers.
"I'll see guys. I'll see," said Carmine. Meanwhile on the beach, Sam and Baird were sitting together on the beach, barely talking but looking at the waves whooshing by. The wind was blowing softly but it was still a little warm outside.
"What a lovely night this is. Its nice sitting near the water, letting the waves calm you down," said Baird.
"Ehh...it's okay," said Sam. She laid on her back and put her arms behind her head.
"I gotta admit Sam. It feels kind of nice and kind of weird that I've been this away from my room this long. I guess there's just more to life than being trapped around mechanic work."
Baird grinned and glanced at Sam. "See Baird? I told you. There are things more interesting than mechanic work," said Baird.
"Yeah yeah yeah I guess," said Sam. Baird hugged his knees and rocked back and forth a little.
"You know, I really hope that shooting star comes tonight. I really want things back to normal for us," said Baird.
"Me too. I mean, how can I pick up chicks if I'm stuck as a chick?"
"Well it's not like you had any luck getting a girl Baird," said Baird.
"Hey! Chicks dig the Baird," groaned Sam. Baird shuddered.
"Don't ever say that again with my voice. It sounds so weird that it's my voice saying it," complained Baird.
"Chicks dig the Baird! Chicks dig the Baird!" chanted Sam.
"Stop," giggled Baird as he playfully hit Sam on the arm. Sam chuckled. They went quiet for a moment before Sam frowned.
"You know what's weird?"
"What?" asked Baird.
"How before we switched, we used to get on each other's nerves, but now since we're each other, we become kinda...friends?"
Baird's eyes lit up. He never thought of it like that. She was right though. They have gotten a little close since they switched. I guess taking a step in the other person's shoes does change the way you are towards each other.
"Well I've enjoyed we stopped arguing for a while. However, I know once we switch back, were gonna be in each other's throats again," said Baird.
"Definitely," said Sam before she grinned with Baird. They remained sitting next to each other for a few more moments. Baird took his attention away from the waves for a second and looked at the sky. He became alarmed when he saw a white light flying in the sky. Baird gasped and pointed at the sky.
"BAIRD! It's the shooting star!" He exclaimed happily. Sam immediately stood up and gasped.
"It is! Hurry let's make our wish!"
They both went on their knees. "Shooting star, I wish I was back in my own body again," said Baird.
"I wish I was in my body too."
They crossed their fingers for a second before standing up. In Carmine's room, Carmine was staring a picture of him and his brothers again when Ben and Anthony ran inside.
"Clay! It's a shooting star!" they both said at the same time. Carmine instantly stood up and opened the window. They were right. The shooting star was outside. Carmine was shocked but he closed his eyes.
"Shooting star, I wish I was Ben and Anthony were not ghosts anymore. They are actually alive. We can have actual skin contact with each other. And I wish Damien Carmine was back here in Azura," Carmine said quietly. He sighed and faced his brothers.
"Well...now we wait," he said. Back in Marcus' room, Marcus and Anya were laying next to each other still awake. Anya was facing the window with Marcus holding her from behind. Seconds later, Anya saw the shooting star. She quickly sat up and pointed outside.
"Marcus! The shooting star!"
Marcus got up and followed her to the window. He opened it and they held each other's hands.
"You mind if I say it in my head?" asked Marcus.
"No I don't mind," said Anya. Marcus nodded.
"Oh shooting star, I wish Marcus was himself again. I just wish he was himself again. That's all," said Anya. She took a step back. Marcus closed his eyes.
"I wish that Dom, Maria, and their kids, and my father were alive again and on Azura...and I wish Anya's mother was alive and on Azura too," Marcus said in his head. He rubbed the bridge of his nose before Anya put a hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay Marcus. Its gonna be okay," she said softly. Marcus nodded and they went back to bed again. In the hallway, Sam walked Baird to Sam's room.
"Thanks for walking me back. Although I think it would be best if we slept in each other's rooms," suggested Baird.
"Yeah but I don't trust leaving you there with my work so we're gonna sleep in our own rooms tonight," said Sam. Baird grinned.
"Well, let's hope tomorrow things will be normal," said Baird.
"Yeah...goodnight Sam," said Sam as she offered out her hand. Baird shook it and smiled.
"Goodnight Baird," said Baird as he walked inside. Sam stepped back for a second before going to Baird's room. Everyone hoped things were gonna be better tomorrow.
