Part Fifteen: Family Reunion
(Sorry, but this is going to be short. If I get into it, it might turn out longer than I expected but while I was sick I got a chance to catch up with some new Archie Comics, so I'm into that obsession now, and I've been planning a fanfiction for them so I really want to get it started. Even though they don't have an Archie Comics section........But since it's Fri. I might be able to write three chapters on this fanfic. That is all for now.)
They first snuck down to the hotel kitchens, which seemed to be easy, until they opened the kitchen door. Becky yelped in surprise and clung to Magnet when she saw Sam standing on the other side of the door, looking solemnly at her.
"Oh, it's just you." she said, calming herself down. The boys stared at her, confused, for, as you know, they can't see the ghosts.
"Yes, it's me," said Sam. Your grandfather wants to see you." he said.
"He does? He seemed to be ignoring me."
(oh, btw, I just remembered this. Since my week has been topsy turvy my story might kind of get a little lopsided. But it will fix up a bit. I kind of lost my ideas for this story somewhere...I don't know where they went though......:()
"Well, if you would come with me then you'll know why." said Sam in a small matter-of-fact voice. "You can bring your friends too."
"All right. Guys, new plan. We'll have to do this later."

They were once again back in the school, though it was filled with ghosts.
"Whoa! You guys have to see this!" she said, grinning.
"Who are they?" asked Armpit, looking around but he still couldn't see anything.
"Dead people from my family." answered Becky.
"Really?" said Squid, pushing to the front.
"Yeah. I see a lot of people, but where are my parents? And- OH MY GOSH!" Becky's hands went over her shocked face.
"What? What is it?" said Squid hurriedly.
"It's Stanley's great great great grandfather!"
"Who do you know? You don't even know Caveman." pointed out X-ray. Becky didn't answer, but she started to talk to some ghost who was standing near her. The boys just followed her, feeling lost.
"I thought she said she could only see ghosts that are related to her." whispered X-ray.
"Yeah I was thinking of that." said Armpit, and some of the boys agreed. Squid just shrugged.
"I don't understand it either, but I didn't even believe in ghosts anyway. I don't think this thing needs a reason." he said.
"Hey," Becky suddenly turned back to them. "Sam says if you want to be a part of this he can make it so you can see the ghosts too."
The boys hesitated, wondering if they actually DID want to see ghosts, but it was boring otherwise, so they agreed. At first there was nothing, but then they heard a boom of thunder, then a flash of lightning, and the room was suddenly filled with odd colors floating people. Zigzag rubbed his eyes. "Am I in a horror movie or something? Or am I just asleep?"
"I don't know what's the difference anymore!" said Twitch. Becky laughed a little. Sam was near them, still looking serious, though he did smile a little.
"This is so cool!" said Armpit, who was walking through some of the ghosts, who were looking at him curiously.
"Come ON guys! If we don't get to my grandfather we won't know why ghosts are hanging around Magnet's school."
Sam led them through the crowd of ghosts, who tried to stop them to chat, but they just passed them. Finally they came to a door to where Magnet, Becky, and Squid had been near when they first found out ghosts were roaming the school. Though they never went in.
The room was actually where Magnet had detention, and all of them were surprised to see him still there. With his was a bored looking Hilary and Becky's grandfather.
"What is SHE doing here?" Becky said angrily, but no one answered her question.
"Like I WANT to be here." Hilary sneered. Becky couldn't tell if she could see the ghosts.
"Nevermind her." said Magnet, getting up from his seat and went over to Becky. Becky looked at Magnet, then to her grandfather when he said nothing else. Her grandfather just smiled.
"I thought you wouldn't come." he said. Suddenly Becky smiled weakly and looked a little sad.
"Of course I would come. I want to know why you rushed me out so fast last time and why you haven't answered my letter." She suddenly started to cry. "Sorry," she said, wiping her eyes. "I still haven't got through all my grieving stages yet."
He looked at her with sadness in his eyes. "It's all right. But please don't be mad at me."
She sniffed. "I could never be mad at you. But please tell me something. I'm so confused about this. It seems very strange that you're hanging around in Magnet's school." She smiled a little at Magnet.
"Well, it's a very long story. I would have told you last time you were hear when you first saw us, but I thought you wouldn't understand it until the reunion."
"What reunion?" she asked, puzzled.
"Well, why else do you think all these ghosts are here?"
(sorry it's so short! I'm glad I started writing this, because now I'm back in my writing mood! But as I said, I want to try and see if I can get an Archie Comic fanfiction up in here.....Keep lookjing for another chapter or two today!)
