Later that night, Alison was going through some things in the bedroom when Rafe walked in. "Oh Hi there." Alison said smiling.
"What are you doing in here?" Rafe asking curiously.
"Oh nothing really just putting some stuff away. Why?" Alison asked.
"I was just thinking about some things and I think I may have come up with a way that I can stay here permently." Rafe said.
"Really? Tell me." Alison said giving Rafe her full attention. Rafe sat down on the edge of the bed and Alison sat down beside him.
"Well you how in that movie, I can't remember the name, but it was about an angel and the girl he fell in love with." Rafe said before Alison interpreted him.
"Oh you mean City Of Angels, with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage?" Alison asked.
"Yeah that's the one." Rafe said.
"Ok but what's that have to do with you staying?" Alison asked.
"Well you remember how Cage's character gave up his being an angel to be with Meg?" Rafe asked.
"Yeah but I still don't understand. That was just a movie." Alison said.
"Yeah but there is some truth to it although I doubt they knew it." Rafe said.
"Ok so you're telling me that you can somehow give up you're being an angel?" Alison said trying to make sense of what Rafe was telling her.
"Well basically yeah." Rafe said.
"Ok but it can't be that simple. Can it?" Alison asked.
"No it's not that simple but its not that complicated either." Rafe said.
"Ok but Nicholas' character never died and you did." Alison said.
"True but I can still do it. I just have to really convince them," Rafe said looking up, "that I giving up being an angel is what I really want and that I'm not going to regret it later." Rafe finished.
"Ok. Is there anything I can do to help? I'll do what ever it takes to help you convince them to let you give up your being angel." Alison said hoping she could help.
"Well I guess the only thing you can do is let them know how much you love me and how much you want me to stay here with you." Rafe said.
"Ok cause I'll do what ever it takes to keep you here with me." Alison said. Rafe smiled.
"Ok I am going to have to go back up there." Rafe said pointing up.
"Ok but you won't be gone long, will you?" Alison asked.
"It depends, I mean I've never really tried it before so I'm not sure but I can tell you that with you're help I'm sure that they'll let me stay and if they don't they still have to let me back for at least until the end of the summer. So I will be coming back." Rafe said.
"Ok well as long as you'll be coming back then I guess I can wait." Alison said feeling a little better.
"Well I guess you should go so that we don't have to wait and see." Alison said.
"Ok I'll be back as soon as I can." Rafe said kissing her then going back up to heaven.
Alison watched him leave then began to pray, "Please let Rafe stay. I love him so much. If you let him stay I promise I'll do everything I can to never make him regret giving up being an angel. Look at all the good he's done; if anyone deserves a second chance its him. So please let him stay."
Rafe was brought to a white room he knew all too well. He looked around and then saw Ed appear. "I've been watching you kid. I heard what you and Alison were talking about. Are you sure you really want to give up being an angel?" Ed asked.
"Yes I'd do anything to stay with Alison." Rafe said.
"You know that once you give up being an angel you can't go back." Ed stated.
"Yeah I know that." Rafe said.
"Are you sure she's worth it?" Ed asked.
"Yeah she's definitely worth it." Rafe said as he looked down on her.
"Ok well I hope your right for both your sakes." Ed said.
Suddenly a white flash of light appeared and Rafe was back in Port Charles. Rafe looked around for Alison. "Alison!" Rafe called out.
Alison walked into the room. "That was fast." Alison said walking over to the bed where Rafe was sitting and giving him a big hug. "So what did they say? Can you stay?" Alison asked.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure it worked. From what Ed told me it should have worked." Rafe said.
"Ed?" Alison asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yeah, Ed's the one that makes sure the angels are doing what they're supposed to." Rafe said.
"Oh ok. Well I hope it worked cause I prayed that it would." Alison said kissing him.
