HHEEEYYYYYY guys! Finally managed to finish that bitch of an assignment, which I ended up handing in late anyway. So before I finish this story, let's see what our favourite little boy is up to. -wears protective gear and hides from the crazed lunaic who likes to randomly throw mud cakes and water balloons at me-


Josh's POV.

"Angel?"

"Yes, honey?"

I watched the flowers sparkle and shine as Angel and I lay on our backs next to the heavenly river. "Is this all real? Does Heaven actually exist?"

Angel turned her body to face me and smiled. "Of course, but only if you believe in it. I've always believed in Heaven as this magical place with fluffy pink and white clouds and rainbows and stuff like that. I've also believed that Heaven is for people who have genuinely good souls and have brought joy to other people's lives."

"Which is exactly why you're here," I said, smiling back at her. Angel blushed and kissed my forehead. "Because this is what you deserve."

"Awww, thank you baby. Although it's no fun being here all by yourself," she mumbled and hugged me close. I hugged her back and breathed in her scent, which smelt exactly like the sparkly flowers. "Come on. I wanna show you something."

She then took my hand and led me into another door in the foyer. I opened it and saw what looked like a diving board over a swimming pool. I wasn't quite sure whether to walk it or not.

"C'mon Joshy, it's okay. Here, follow me," said Angel. She took my hand and we both walked this diving board together and Oh My God! All I could see was this vastness of blue; deep sea blue, decorated with little speckles of light dancing away, and a gigantic white gleaming sphere, just inches away from where we were standing. I sputtered my words out.

"Angel? Is that….is this the…?"

Angel smiled that warm smile of hers. "Yes. This is the sky, those are stars and this round white thing is the moon." I couldn't believe the sight before my eyes. One of the most beautiful sights in the world and I got to experience it up close. I gazed in wonderment at the beautiful stars sparkling against the sky that was as blue as my Aba's eyes, but a bit deeper, and this gorgeous moon, shining its beautiful, cool light all over the earth. Wow, I bet Aunt Maureen would be so jealous of me.

"It's really something, isn't it?" whispered Angel. I could do nothing but nod in agreement. "Except there's no cow here jumping around or anything."

I giggled at her while I remembered watching Aba's footage of Aunt Maureen's protest, about Elsie jumping over the moon in a leap of faith. That cow would have been so lucky.

Suddenly I saw a flash of orange light beeping on Angel's waist. I blinked and looked at her questioningly.

"No no honey, it's not an AZT break," she said, giggling at me. "This is like a news alert, telling me that there's something happening on Earth which you need to see." She took my hand and led me out of that room and into another room which looked like the control room of a TV studio. The biggest screen in the middle crackled a bit with white noise, and then the screen slowly came into focus. I saw an old, dingy apartment, a bed and two people lying in it. I blinked. They look oddly familiar.

"Those are you parents, Joshy. Mark and Roger," said Angel with a smile. I focused my eyes a bit more and indeed, there was Dad and Aba, lying in bed with their arms around each other. I squealed.

"You mean, they're back together?" Angel smiled and nodded at me.

"Yes, it looks like they are. Told you they love each other too much to stay apart."

I sat down on the floor, crying silently with joy that my family was back together. I was so happy for them. Angel took me into her arms and hugged me tightly.

"Ohh honey, don't cry. You should be smiling. I'm so happy that they found each other again" she said and she rubber my back.

"Yeah I know. So am I" I said, hugging her back. Suddenly I saw a flash of light behind Angel's back. I pulled away from her to look at it.

"Oh that's the doorway from Heaven to Earth. Which means that now that your parents have realised what they've been doing wrong and corrected it, it's time for you to go back" said Angel as she looked over her shoulder.

I stood there staring at the door, thinking about what I was gonna do. If I went through it, I would be back with my parents and Leana and all my family. Butthen I would have to leaveAngel behind, and I couldn't stand the thought of leving behind someone so beautiful and kind and who couldn't even be a part of my life.

"Well, are you ready?" asked Angel, holding her hand out to me.

I wrapped my arms around myself tightly. "I don't know, Angel. If I go, I'll never see you again. I don't think I can bear that." I could feel my voice breaking.

Angel took my face in her hands and wiped my tears. "You know what, you don't have to go unless you really want to. I mean, it's your decision. Do you want to go down to Earth or stay here in Heaven?"

I slumped down to the floor and buried my face in my hands as I struggled to make the most important decision of my life. Stay in Heaven, or go to Earth?


Gee, I wonder what Joshy is gonna do... -giggles-
