Kat leaned her back into worn post of the little run down train
station, while trying to readjust the straps on her shoulder. The cool
fall breezes played with the hair falling from her ponytail. Her left
hand went to the thumb on her right hand twisting the silver ring
around and around her small thumb. She finally backed at good old
Friendship, Maine with its strange custom and even stranger people.
Her relatives on her mother side had taught her so much, but she
missed the zaniness of her father and craziness of the ghosts that
has always kept her on her toes.
"But most of all… I miss you Casper…" Kat murmured to herself.
She waited as long as she could for her father to come storming
down the road in his old beat up station wagon before finally giving
up. Her legs were already crammed from the long train ride without
moving. The last thing she wanted to do was spend the next couple
of minutes in car to reach Whipstaff manor. Closing her eyes, She
prepared for the strain on her muscle as she started down the road
that would lead to home.
Her feet stopped at the old iron gate of Whipstaff. High upon a
hill, Whipstaff manor laid perch in the center.
"No time like the present," Kat reassured herself before stepping
through the gate and started her hike up the hill. The grass had
grown around the manor. Usually the grass died early in the
summer and only last for few weeks in the spring. But as she looked
out, the grass was full and green against the backdrop of healthy
trees in the background. Kat pulled out her keys and open the door.
It was just like she remembered. The tall ceiling and the stairway
that reach to the heavens, yet the silences were over bearing.
Where were the three uncles? What happen to 'BOO!' from Stretch,
Fatso and Stinkie?
"Is anyone home?" she yelled through the foyer. The sound echoing
through out the house.
"You could seriously wake the dead," a translucent form appeared.
"That was the point." Kat stood in front of the clear form of her old
friend, Casper.
"We miss you, Kat!" He started to move toward her for a hug, but
stopped. How can a ghost hug a person?
As if reading his mind, she answered, "I have missed everyone,"
she glanced away before staring back into those huge blue eyes, "I
miss you… dad, and even the ghostly trio."
Casper hid his disappointment as she said everyone else name. He
wanted to be the only one she missed the most.
"I would help you with your bag, but I can only do so much," he
disappeared and one of the luggage began to float in the air,
climbing the stairs in the process.
"I did miss you most of all." She said to no one particular as she
carried the rest of the luggage behind the first one.
"Where is the ghostly trio?"
"Gone!"
"Why are they gone?"
"You must have forgotten what your dad do."
"So they finally took care of their unfinished business. What about
you? What keeps you tie to this earthy realm?"
Casper took a good long look at Kat, who was lying on her bed.
Even after everything they endured to find the Lazarus machine or
to remake the formula, she still had no clue. She kept him there. If
they had never met, he would have left when his uncles left. If he
never known the bliss of knowing or touching her, he would not
have the burning desire to stay with her always. He waited
patiently for her to return, knowing if the Lazarus machine ever
worked. He could never forward the time for them to be the same
age or make up for the experience he lost.
"Things came up. Dr. Harvey should be back in a little bit."
"Do you miss them?"
"They were a pain, but they were also family. I have to go. Dinner
will be ready in a while." Casper quickly went through the wall.
"Somehow I believe you are hiding something from me…"
"Dad, how did you know that you love mom?" Kat was wrapped in
a comforting embrace of her father, sitting on the couch against the
far right wall of the foyer.
"I simply could not picture my life without her. We were friends
long before we became more then friends. I knew back then if
younger then yourself that I want to spend my life growing old with
her. " Dr. Harvey stopped to readjust his glass. "Women always
assumed that a man would never be ready for a commitment. It's
true only until we find the right one. What's with the question,
Kat?"
"Nothing!" Kat looked away.
"Did you meet someone while you was gone?" Dr. Harvey held her
chin between his fingers as he made his daughter look at him.
"There is someone that means the world to me, but it is impossible
for us to be together."
"Don't worry, I'm positive there is a way for you and the person to
be together."
"Thanks dad."
Casper flew from the room to his sanctuary, his room. He shut his
eyes in frustration, blocking out what he over heard. Kat is in love!
Before Casper use to go his room whenever he need to escape from
his uncles or needed space to think, but the pale blue walls of his
room couldn't give him the relief, he wanted. She found someone,
while she was gone. She actually found someone. He had always
known that one day he could lose her, but not now. He flew higher
through the ceiling until he stood on the roof look out at the stars.
"She found someone." Casper yelled into the sky. How could he
not known? It was impossible for him to think in term of him and
her being a couple? She was flesh, while he was nothing but a
ghost.
"Is there any hope for us… me?"
"You should know there is always hope." A voice cut through the
silence. "And if you love someone so much, there will always be a
way." The figure appeared in a glitter of light.
"Amelia!"
"Yes, it's me." An almost exact carbon copy of Kat stood in front
of the ghost. Her long curvy hair blow in an invisible wind, while
her hazel eyes captivated Casper.
"Why are you here?"
"I know your deepest desire is to be with my daughter. Your love
for others and unselfish heart had helped you once to be alive for a
moment. Why do you still doubt in your deepest wish?"
"You only grant me moment of what I wanted. You seal my fate to
always be around Kat. How could I forget bliss that I found even
for only a moment? You gave me a moment to treasure the
pleasure of holding the person I love, but you easy took it away
from me. My deepest wish is beyond hope."
"Don't give up so quickly on the impossible. Impossible was for
you to be alive for a moment, but it happened. As will you being
with whom you cared for most."
"You promising me foolish dreams. Kat found someone. Someone
who she can touch!" Casper tried to slam his fist against the roof,
but it just pass through. "Look at me! I'm short, pale, and float. I
don't even have feet in this form and you want me to have hope. If
there was justice, I would had never died and…"
"You would have never met Kat." Amelia cut Casper sentence off.
"I'm not here to argue, but to tell you something. Soon there will
come a time very soon that you and Kat will be tested. Depends on
how you and her deal with the situation, determine whether you will
be together or forever separate. Remember starting over does not
mean forgetting…" Amelia slowly disappear in gathering of stars.
"But being left behind feels worst."
"Casper, Where are you?" Kat made her way down the hall.
AN: I need some help. If you have any suggestion or ideas, please
send them. If you see a spelling or grammar mistake, please point
them out. I want to finish this story and I dedicate this story to
angelchicka and Jenn bon Jovi. Thanks for writing the only two
Casper story that I have ever seen.
