Reggie's PoV

I wanted tonight to be perfect and magical, it was going to be the last time Julie saw her brother in a long long time. I had been talking to Carlos about the perfect last night they could share and the kid had some really good ideas, one of which I decided to go with. I also had been busy scaring Bobby to death but getting him on board once he got over the whole me being a ghost and he couldn't see me but I indeed did exist to some degree. He wanted proof and I was more than happy to revisit memory lane with him. Turns out he really regretted publishing our songs but wasn't sure what to do after we had passed. He felt and was mostly talked into this that it would be a nice tribute to record our songs and he gave a huge percentage to our families to make sure they knew what we had done and were taken care of. Luke would still be mad that he recorded 'My name is Luke' but he would get over it once he realized his parents knew that he died doing the thing he loved.

I told Bobby of what was happening in Julie's life and he was horrified. Apparently he was forbidden to see the girl after her mother passed, something about her dad being jealous. He was about ready to burn the world down with Luke when he realized the horror she had lived through and was more than happy to help me with my conquest.

We needed a house and a big one for all of us to live in, Julie needed to finish school without worrying about bills so Bobby helped me sign a deal for a modest house with four bedrooms and a few bathrooms that were within walking distance of a school. He deposited the necessary money and then also helped set up a date for Julie and her brother Carlos. He desperately wanted to go but I told him they needed to say bye as it would be the last time they could see each other for a while. So Bobby busied himself setting up limos to pick each of the kids up, a security team that he personally used for his gigs and setting up a car to be delivered to the new house in case Julie wanted to learn how to drive. I knew how and I could teach her but that might look odd to any cop watching Julie in the parking lot figuring out how to back up and go forward.

Both projects were set up and I finally could breathe and relax. I ended up hanging out with Bobby in his hot tub although he thought he was alone at this point. It gave me a lot of thinking time, the only thing left really was to sign Julie up to Grover Cleveland STEM high school, her ticket for the train was already booked as well as the taxi's needed to get from the station to our new house. I wanted to give her at least a week to get settled into the idea of not having to pay for anything. Bobby had already set up an allowance for her to use for shopping, food, gas, anything she needed or we needed since I guess we could eat now and should stop poofing things everywhere. We hadn't been caught yet but it was a matter of time before someone caught our faces on a camera and began asking questions of how we did that and who we were. Our parents were still alive somewhere and that wasn't a situation we were equipped to deal with.

Finally it was time that I checked in with Julie so I said bye to Bobby and poofed back to the apartment. Luke was braiding Julie's hair back which made me smile. I remember him learning how to do that when he desperately wanted a sister. He tried showing his parents how he could brush and care for her hair by practicing on a doll and how he could help care for her by keeping his own room clean. Sadly he never got the sister he wanted and I could see him living his dreams out at this moment. Julie looked beautiful in the dress I had picked out. It was a long deep purple gown with straps, black gloves that went up to her elbows and a beautiful black fur coat. It really wasn't the weather for this but she would only be going from here into a limo, then a horse carriage ride with a blanket then she would be inside.

"So Reggie what is happening tonight, why am I the only one dressed up?" asked Julie, finally spotting me.
"You will have to wait and see but are you nearly ready, your ride arrives in about ten minutes" I replied.
"Yeah I'm pretty much done, do I need anything else with me?" Julie asked.
"Nope, you look amazing, put on your shoes and I'll take you downstairs" I complimented.
"Wait, we aren't going as well?" complained Luke.
"No sorry, this is just for Julie. I'll explain later" I said.

Once Julie's shoes were on, I escorted her down the stairs and held the limo door out for her which made her giggle since that was freaking the driver out who was fumbling for an explanation. I just winked at her and whispered in her ear before poofing "Tonight is all for you Julie, please enjoy it"

I made my way back up to her room to do a once over of what was packed. Alex was pretty good at this stuff. Immediately Luke slammed into my shoulder in an aggressive manner.
"What the hell, where is she going Reggie? You left her on her own, how do you know she will be alright? What if her father sees her?" yelled Luke in my face.
Boy was this boy beginning to fall way too hard for someone who couldn't be with a ghost. I took a deep breath and moved away from Mr Hulk for a moment to collect my thoughts.

"Luke I love you, but we are about to pull her from any one she might know and dump her in a world with no one except ghosts. We can table the idea of how crazy this whole situation sounds and the fact that she could be chucked into a mental hospital just for talking to us and believing we are real. She's going on a limo ride with an armed ex army dude who's under strict orders to let her into the horse drawn carriage and then to wait there for her to come back a few hours later. She will then climb into said horse carriage and go on a beautiful horse ride with her brother through Disneyland where she will then dine in the finest restaurant, 21 Royal. They will dine on the finest of meals, say goodbyes in a heavily guarded facility and then she will be escorted back to the horse driven carriage where both children will then get into separate limos. Oh I forgot, the guy driving the carriage is also an armed officer of this whole operation. No one is getting to her without one hell of a fight and a lot of witnesses. I know you're mad that you can't go and honestly it hurts my feelings that you thought I wouldn't have several plans in place for her safety but I get it, she means a lot to all of us. However, as I said, we literally saved her from hell. Before we dump her in a whole new world of horrors, let's let her have one last night with her brother before she says goodbye for the foreseeable future".

Before I could react to Alex's smirking I was tackled off of my feet at full force to the bed that was thankfully behind to catch my fall by an emotional Luke who bear hugged me with full force. "I'm sorry I doubted you Reggie, I love you too and thank you, you are right she does need this. Just the last time I let her out of my sight.. She nearly died" he mumbled into my shoulder. I bear hugged Luke back and kissed his hair. I knew he would see that I only wanted the best for her but Luke always was one to hulk out and ask questions later.

Julie's PoV

I was nervous, I was in a fancy dress with useless shoes for running and in a limo. I mulled Reggie's words over in my head as I tried to relax and enjoy the fancy ride. Then I saw him, my brother coming out of a Limo that I was parked next to. He was dressed in a tux and held a bouquet of roses. I threw my door open running to go hug him and spin him around in my arms. We were then instructed to get into a carriage that was pulled by eight pure white, magnificent horses. I helped my baby brother first then I climbed up and snuggled under the fur blanket as Carlos passed me a thermos with hot chocolate inside and the beautiful flowers. It was magical, I remembered coming for family trips to Disneyland back when my mother was alive but those trips dwindled out as the years passed.

I couldn't let go of my brother and we caught up on everything we had been up to. He sounded like he was really happy at his new house as he couldn't stop talking about how nice their mother was. It was a family of twins, a dad, a mother and they sheltered or adopted other children when they had space. The mother was really into baking and loved doing any crazy ideas Carlos came up with. Today they baked a chocolate lava brownie cake with hand made vanilla ice cream. I was really happy for him and pulled him close as we arrived at our destination.

We pulled up in front of 21 Royal which I knew was a very fancy restaurant, my mother had played here once and had often reminded me of the food. We were helped out of the carriage by the rider and then escorted up the stairs into the house. Once we were inside and under the watch of the door man the rider stepped back to his carriage. Something told me Reggie had paid not only a lot for this experience but extra to make sure no harm came to us. We were shown around the beautiful house or rather a mansion. It was supposed to be Walt Disney's house but now people were allowed to come dine and look around. After a tour we sat down in a luxurious room where every meal known to mankind was awaiting us.

"We were instructed to make two of every meal and to let you choose what you like, anything you don't eat will go to a homeless shelter tonight so eat what you can and enjoy" said the door man who had escorted us through the house and now left us by our selves with just a wine and water person by the door"

Carlos and I sat down next to each other and just marveled over everything. It was all covered up to keep warm so we started lifting up the metal covers to see what was available. Eventually we started picking through a salmon dish which melted in our mouths. After that we tried a steak that was amazing. The best part about crazy expensive food is it comes in such small portions that we were able to try everything.

The drink bearers poured us small glasses of wine to taste even though we were under age and when I asked if this was okay the lady smiled warmly at me and said "Its fine, your technically under adult supervision and small amounts won't harm you especially with the amount of food your demolishing, enjoy, relax".

We both tried the wine and were surprised at how sweet and smooth it tasted. It wasn't bitter like the wine we had tried before at a family event. Next came scallops in a garlic butter sauce that made both of us groan in appreciation. Eventually once we were done eating we were led to a lounge to sit in front of a fireplace. We were offered peppermint chocolates to nibble at and were left in quiet contemplation.

"Hey Carlos, how much do you know about the friend that has been talking to you?" I asked.
"I know he cares a lot about you and only means to help. I tried asking him to tell me why and who he was. He said he couldn't answer. It was annoying at first but once I saw our house burn and was forced to trust this person I stopped asking questions and just went with it. I know his name is Reggie but I'm not sure if that is his real name or not. What do you know about him, Julie?"
"His name is Reggie and he definitely cares, he and his friends have been helping me a lot with a lot of my issues. I found my love of music again and have actually sang with them a few times for fun. I know you would hear me sing occasionally to some song but it's not the same, there wasn't the love that I used to feel when I used to sing with mum" I said.

"Well when it comes down to it Julie, just please be safe. Reggie told me you were going away for a bit so just please be safe and tell someone if something bad happens. I should have spoken to a teacher and that's the biggest regret I'll ever have but I was scared, I was scared that he would start doing things to me so I tried to not see it, I'm so sorry Julie"
"Hey it's okay, come here" I said as I pulled him out of his arm chair and into my lap for a cuddle. It was hard to think of leaving him but he was happy and I needed to get out of here.

The night wore on and after we had digested our food and played a few games of cards, it was time to say one last goodbye. I held him close on the carriage ride back trying to hold back tears but as we parted to get into our limos I couldn't hold them back any more. I turned around and ran towards Carlos to give him one last hug. We both cried into each other's arms and after a few minutes I kissed his head, squeezed him one last time and turned to hop into the limo.

I climbed in ready to let go of all my tears and was immediately pulled into a bear hug by Luke who I barely saw before I was engulfed in his arms. Other arms were flung around me and I could guess they belonged to Alex and Reggie. "You guys are the best, thank you Reggie for tonight and for being here, tonight was perfect, beyond perfect" I said.
"Your welcome Julie, you deserved one last night with your brother" said Reggie with a big smile.

I sat back to put on my seat belt and Luke sat next to me and draped his arm around my shoulders, then pulled a blanket out for my legs. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I couldn't feel his body heat but it was still a nice gesture.
