Inez knocked on the door of the room and peeked her head in. "Jax, who are you talking to in..." her voice trailed off as she gasped when her eyes fell on Sarah. "Oh.....my....God..Jackie.."

"Wait wait, Inez," Jackie cried, standing up quickly. "Inez, it's OK, it's OK! She's not gonna hurt you. She's a friendly ghost."

"Jackie..what are you doing in here.."

"Inez, will you get a grip, she's NOT gonna hurt you, she's just lonely."

"She's...she's..not.."Inez trembled slightly.

"Inez, just come on in here..." Jackie pulled Inez into the room with her and lead her to where Sarah was. "Now..come on, she's not gonna hurt you. Sarah, this is one of my best friends, Inez Garcia. Inez, this is Sarah Phillips..my new friend." Sarah's eyes glowed with soft joy at the word 'friend'. "Now, Inez, come on, say hello, she's not gonna hurt you."

"Uh.." Inez stammered. "Uh..hello."

Sarah stepped forward and curtsied slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Inez. How are you?"

"Uh..I'm fine.." Inez stammered, trying to curtsy in return.

"Inez," Jackie whispered. "She will NOT hurt you. You know, she's quite a ghost.she knew George Washington!"

Inez's head snapped up. "THE George Washington?! You knew THE George Washington! Oh, wow, what was he like?"

Sarah smiled. "He was one of the nicest individuals I have ever had the pleassure of knowing. He was a strong, brave man who cared so much about people, he treated every single member of his army like they were his family."

"Oh, wow, who else did you know?"

"A great many individuals, John and Abigail Adams, Moly Corbin, Deborah Sampson.."

"Really? Wow, you've had such an exciting life! I'm so impressed."

Sarah blushed slightly. "Thank you, Inez."

"Jackie? Inez? Where are you guys,k we're gonna mis the bus!" Matt's voice cried out from downstairs.

"Oh ne, I forgot, that's what I came up here to get you for, we're all getting ready to leave, you better come down with me or they might take off without us."

"Okay," Jackie turned to Sarah. "It;s time."

"Yeah," Inez said, somewhat reluctantly. "It was so nice to meet you, Sarah..I'm sorry about the way I acted before, that's wasn't too nice."

"That's quite all right, Inez, you were not the first one. I'm sorry that I scared you."

"Well, I'M sorry as well, I just ran off and I didn't even think. Well, goodbye, Sarah."

"This ain't goodbye, Inez, she's coming with us!"

"Huh?"

"I asked Sarah to come back home with us, we can talk to her more that way and realy get to know her..and she can have some friends."

"Oh, yeah, Jackie, great idea, we'll just put her right on the bus with us, I'm sure she'll blend right in."

"Inez, in case you've forgotten, she can make herself invisible. She'll just follow us home invisible, and whenever we want to talk to her, she can just make herself appear."

"Really?"

\ "Well, not at night, at night she has to come back to this place."

"Oh, really?"

"I'm afraid so," Sarah said. "It's part of my punishment."

"Oh, right, until 10,000 prayers are said for you."

"Yeah, and she's got 4,560 already said."

Inez pulled out a scrap of paper and a pencil. "Let's see..so she's got..5,440 left to go."

"Yeah..Inez, don't you think we both could help her?"

"You mean divide up the prayers said for her?"

"Yeah, if we both divide the prayers said for her, she can get to Heaven a lot faster."

"Yes, yes, oh thank you, thank you," Sarah said quickly and happily. "Oh, that is so wonderful of both of you."

"Let's see," Inez said, working on the paper. "If we divide this number by two...we got...2,720 prayers to be said."

"WE can do it," Jackie said with determination. "Sarah, I promise, Inez and I will say those prayers for you and we wil get you to Heaven." Sarah smiled ear to ear and tears began to form in her eyes. "Hey, come on now, don't cry..don't cry.." she reached out her arms carefuly and hugged her carefully, the way Sarah had put her hand on her own arm before. She noticed that it felt almost like she was hugging the air. She made sure that she didn't put her arms all the way through Sarah. "Come on, now..we're happy to do it."

"Yeah.," Inez agreed. "But we better go now, before they all look around wondering where we are."

"Yeah," Jackie said. "Sarah? You ready?"

Sarah smiled. "I will be right here behind you." She made herself invisible and they all went downstairs.

"Where on Earth WERE ou guys?" Matt asked. "WE almost missed the bus! Come on!" they all went quickly out the door. "Bye, Bianca!" They called out to the tour guide as they boarded the bus. As they continued their tour of Philadelphia, Jackie was hoping that Sarah was behind her. As they broke for lunch in a deli, Jackie went to the bathroom, where she looked in the mirror. Suddenly Sarah looked back at her with a smile. Jackie smiled. "Hi, are you having a good time?"

Sarah blinked back tears. "This is bringing back so many wonderful memories for me."

"Can you tell me more about this place when we get home?"

"I definitely will," Sarah quickly turned her head when she heared a sound and vanished when someone else can into the bathroom. But Jackie smiled at her reflection, knowing that Sarah was right behind her.
