A/N: Pay no attention to the title.

Rafe walked along the beach holding his shoes in his hand as he let the cool sand fill in between his toes. He took a sip from his bottle of bourbon followed by a longer swig. What was he doing? Was he ready to get back in a relationship with the women who left him for his best friend?

"Rafe," he heard a familiar voice call out.

He spun around, "Danny? What are you doing here? You're dead."

"I know, I still am."

"Then why are you here in front of me?"

"I guess it's your conscious or something."

"Are you here to make me feel guilty some more?"

"No I'm here to talk to you I guess."

"About what? Cuz I got a lot to talk about, yesterday we got a new plane and she flies like a dream you would love it." Rafe said replicating flying moves with his hands.

"About the girl, Evelyn. Maybe even my son. Gee Rafe are you drunk?"

"No," Rafe said shaking his head furiously, "well just a little."

"So you love her a lot, huh?"

"Well, yeah, I guess."

"She's always loved you so much, I guess I was blind to see that or just a dreamer to think she would actually choose me over you unless something was up. Like a pregnancy."

"Don't say that."

"Well it's true."

"Nah, she loved you, trust me."

"Somehow I don't when you're slurring like that." Danny smiled at him.

"Well do you think it's wrong for me to take your life cuz I do."

"Well that is a little strange but it's the place in life that you were supposed to have, not me, I didn't deserve it."

"What are you talking 'bout boy? You're not letting your father get to you again are ya?"

"I guess I am."

"Now you were always the best at what you did, well except for flying cuz that was my specialty," they both snickered, "You were always good at comforting and stuff, maybe a little on the shy side but people don't care 'bout those things."

"Thanks Rafe."

"So you go march right up to Evelyn and tell her that you love her more then anything and that you wanna be with her cuz you deserve it. And then you can meet up with me and we'll have a beer to celebrate. Now I better go get a head start cuz it's hard for me to walk straight."

"Rafe," Danny said standing up, "Rafe, I'm dead! I can't talk to Evelyn and marry her or anything cuz dead people can't do things like that."

"No you're not; if you were dead I wouldn't be able to see you."

"We already went through this."

"Ah, right now I remember. So what are we gonna do with her? I mean if you're dead and all."

"You gotta take care of her like I took care of her when you 'died,' I mean she already knows how much you love her, and you know how much she loves you. And Danny's your son now, not mine."

"Danny will never be my son; there are just some things you can't change."

"True, but you have to raise him like he was yours cuz he needs that kind of love."

"Yeah, okay but only cuz it's for you. And I'm not doing it for anybody else."

"I don't think you'll have that problem. Can you just do me a favor?"

"Jesus, you owe me so big!" Rafe said sipping his drink again. "Oh, wait no never mind I guess that whole saving my life thing puts me in debt. Well what is it?"

"Just make sure Danny knows who I am and that I love him a lot and I'll always be with him."

"Yeah, sure, I can do that." Rafe nodded looking up at him. "Will you just watch over all of us?"

"You didn't even have to ask." Danny smiled as he gave Rafe a hug and disappeared; Rafe leaned over and fell face forward into the sand.

"Rafe?" A voice said in front of him, "Rafe what are you doing?"

"I was just talking to Danny here. Well wait a second he's gone! Did you see him, he's about this high and he has brown eyes and hair." Rafe said trying to show his descriptions.

"Rafe," Evelyn said sitting next to him, "Danny's dead."

"Yeah, I know that's why he said that he couldn't marry you and why I had too."

"Rafe are you drunk?" Evelyn asked looking at the bottle in his hand.

"Why does everybody keep asking me that?"

"Cuz you are."

"Good point," Rafe said nodding. "Whatever, anyway Danny told me that he couldn't come back and that he was my conscious or something at that he didn't care about new planes, yep that's what he said, he didn't care about new planes but he did care about you and Danny and he's always gonna be with us."

"You're so cute," Evelyn said ruffling Rafe's hair.

"You don't believe me, huh?" He asked confused.

"Well what you're saying can't happen."

"That's right they can't but they did."

"How long have you been down here?" She asked rubbing his head.

"Hmm," he said looking at his watch, "when the big hand was on the six and the little hand was on the seven."

"Rafe it's almost ten, you shouldn't be out like this when you're drinking. Here lay down." She said readjusting him putting his head in her lap.

"No its okay Danny was keeping me company. See he's right there." Rafe said pointing to where he saw Danny by the water, but to Evelyn she saw nothing but the sand.

"There's nothing there, you're seeing things."

"I see you," he said looking up at her.

"That's cuz I'm real."

"But you're always like a dream to me; cuz being with you is so magical."

"I'd kiss you," she said leaning towards him, "but your breath smells so bad." She said moving her face away from his.

"Evelyn?"

"Yes, Rafe?"

"Will you.will you-?"

"What?" She asked in anticipation.

"Help me up, I think I'm going to throw up." He said rolling over; she helped him up towards the water as he puked into the sea. As he wiped off his face he looked up at her, "well, will you marry me?"

"You're such a romantic," she laughed hugging him, "why don't you ask me again when you'll remember?"

"What makes you think I won't remember? I never forget anything with you."

"Now's not the time," she said stepping back as he heaved over again. "Definitely not the time."
