That next week, Sean was looking out of the window. He looked like he was confused about something. Too many demons, and nobody to talk to. As he was sitting on the window box, a vision of a friend he held most dear appeared, as if out of nowhere.

"I haven't seen that look on your face since graduation."

"Chris? This must be a dream."

"Nope. It's me, alright. What's the great debate?"

"Nothing, man. Just doing the staring thing."

"You were always a horrible liar, man. C'mon. I'm your best friend. What gives?"

"You have no idea."

"Ok. I'm waiting by the Pearly Gates, right, and I look down and I see my favorite couple going through the roughest time in their lives. And before I get fitted for my wings, I get this distress call from you. Here I am, so spill it, junior."

"Chris, are you kidding? You're sounding like Batman right now."

"I miss you, man. I miss being here. I still don't remember much about that night, but I do remember when I died, you cried like a wuss. Sean, you knew where I was going. Why shed tears? I didn't suffer."

"I know, but the fact that I lost my best friend, you know, it just took alot out of me, know ing that it was my fault."

"Your fault? Are you kidding? It was an accident. A fatal one, but it was one nonetheless."

"I know I need to quit on the beers."

"I know that seeing me is freaking you out."

"You think?"

"You have something to tell me, don't you?"

"Yeah, man. I slept with Gabby. I didn't mean to. It just happened. I didn't mean to do you dirty like this. and-"

"Shush! I know what happened, and no, you didn't mean to, but it happened. I'm cool with it."

"What?"

"I'm cool with it. I can't hit you. I'm dead! Besides, I have a confession to make. I loved Donnie for a long time. I envied you, but I'm glad that you two hooked up."

"So why am I feeling like this?"

"Like what? Total crap? That, my friend, is called your conscience. All that's going on with those two women, it's gonna pass. You chose your wife, and she has to get over that. That is what you get when you play the game. Everybody loses."

"Bro, you of all people, are taking this suprisingly well. I'm totally sorry for everything."

"Sean. All of this was suppose to happen."

"Now, you're scaring me. What do you mean?"

"Everything happens for a reason. Fate is a fickled thing. Obstacles are everywhere, you just have to get over them. In your case, Donnielle's condition turned you to Gabby, which was a horrible choice in my opinion. Anyway, you still stuck by her even in your lowest point, and that, Sean, has sealed your fate with Donnie."

"You sound like a fucked-up fortune cookie."

"Hey! You're cussing a first class angel!"

"Haha. I miss you too, man."

"I know. You won't remember that I was here. You won't even remember this conversation."

"Hold up, Chris. What do you mean I won't remember?"

"I'm going to leave, and all you're gonna know, is that, you'll feel a whole lot better, and that your problem is gonna be solved."

"Now, you're driving me crazy!"

"Just like old times, eh? By the way, Owen and Brian sends their hellos."

"Owen Hart? Dude! You saw him?"

"Yeah, duh! Him and Pillman are my poker buddies. Oh yeah. Mrs. Blake is here too."

"Our old Professor?"

"The one in the same. I didn't get to see everyone yet, but I have alot of time. I even saw Blitz."

"My old dog? Dude, that's vintage."

"Don't worry. Your son and your daughter is doing fine too."

"Huh?"

"Oh. The babies Donnie miscarried. A boy and a girl. I adopted them up there.Don't worry. I got this up here. You just handle down on Earth."

"Thanks, man. I owe you one."

"Just do what you have to do to get up here. We need another player."

"Sure thing."

"One more thing. Tonight, can you play that Chad Kroeger song?"

"Which one?"

"The one that was in that Spiderman movie."

"Oh, Hero? I got you. Why?"

"You'll see."

"Ok. So, what did you name the kid....."

In that instant, Chris was gone. Sean was baffled. He looked around him, and saw a picture of him and Chris at Sean's wedding. Two young men, and now, there is one. Sean still rememberd a little of the visit from Chris, but, as he stepped into the shower, they started to fade. Chris was right. When Sean stepped out of the shower, he remembered nothing of what they discussed.
