" I have to what?" Kaitlyn asked.
" Pick who lives. I find it a waste if I kill them both." Derek smiled.
" You can't make me." Kaitlyn retorted, glaring at him.
" You're right, I can't. I'll just have to kill them both." Derek pulled a remote from his pocket. He was about to push a red button. Kaitlyn didn't know what it did, but Red buttons were rarely a good thing.
" No!" She cried. Derek smirked and shoved the remote back in his pocket.
" That's what I thought. Now, who do you choose?" he asked. Kaitlyn's mind raced, trying to find a way out of it.
" Pick Amanda." Michelle's voice came into her head again.
" What?" Kaitlyn asked silently.
" Pick Amanda. I have an idea." Michelle replied. Kaitlyn looked uncertain. " When he presses the button, just imagine me, my body and everything, walking out of your mind."
"Okay…" Kaitlyn said, uncertain. Out loud she said, " A-Amanda."
" Hmm… guess blood isn't thicker than water." Derek laughed. He pulled the remote back out and pressed a green button. Two men walked into the other room and picked up Amanda, chair and all. Then the door closed behind them and Derek started to press another button, this one orange. Kaitlyn closed her eyes and did what Michelle told her, imagine her walking out of her mind. Her head began to ache. The feeling got worse and worse until it felt like her head would split open.
" What the-" Derek shouted. Kaitlyn opened her eyes as the pain faded. Next to her stood Michelle, lime green steaks and all.
" Ha! Twin connection! It wasn't a load of bull!" Michelle cried.
" How'd you know about… dad told you." Kaitlyn realized.
" While you were on a date with chuckles." Michelle nodded toward Derek.
Derek looked furious. He ran out of the room and when he came back he had a gun bigger than one either sister had ever seen. He shot it at them. It wasn't a regular gun, it was an ecto-gun. It shot a glowing green mass towards the part ghosts. Michelle dived to the left, Kaitlyn dived to the right. Kaitlyn shot an Ecto-beam at him. She was better with fighting, offense. Michelle was still better with going intangible, which she did and while Kaitlyn distracted him with the Ecto-beams Michelle tackled him. Derek struggled against her, and as Michelle soon found out, a skinny teenage girl was no match for a trained boy. He kicked, rolling her over his head and blasted her with the gun. She lay on the floor, not moving.
" Michelle!" Kaitlyn cried, wanting to see if Michelle was okay. She felt an anger in her, the anger of Derek deciving her, of threatening her sister and best friend, and the ager of him hurting her sister. All of it built up together as she aimed for him, blasting him with an ecto-beam so strong it threw him into the wall, knocking him out cold. Kaitlyn ran to check on Michelle. It only took a few second for her to come too. She stood up wobbly and they went to find Amanda.

" And that's how we ended up here." Michelle, Kaitlyn, Kevin, Amanda, Lindsay and Alex all sat at a booth at Nasty Burger. Michelle and Kaitlyn had just told them about the prophecy, what they knew about it at least, and everything else, being part ghosts, what had happened to their parents a week before, and what had happened yesterday with Amanda and Derek.
After Michelle and Kaitlyn found Amanda, without trouble, the guard/minions had run. They took her home and told her mother that Amanda had spent the night at their house and had apparently forgotten to call. They told Sam and Danny to go along with it after telling them what happened.
" Shell, that's not funny." Lindsay said, looking around the restaurant.
" It's not meant to be funny Linds." Michelle shrugged. Lindsay stood up.
" I… I'm sorry Shell, but I… I have a thing… a family thing… don't call me." She said, walking off. Michelle lay her head on the table.
" Don't worry Shell, I'm still here for you." Alex said encouragingly. " You and Kaitlyn." He added.
" Me too." Kevin nodded.
" And me." Amanda piped up. " I've already been attacked, what's the worst that can happen?" she asked, smiling. Michelle looked up at them, then rolled her eyes smiling.
" You're all such losers." She laughed. Kaitlyn laughed too, then became serious.
" You guys do know that being around us can put you in danger right?" she asked.
" Duh Kaitlyn, we just heard the story." Alex replied.
" Kate, we don't care, You're our friends." Amanda said, smiling. Kevin nodded in agreement.
" Thanks guys." Kaitlyn smiled.
" And don't worry about Linds, she'll come around, once she sees how stupid she's being." Alex assured Michelle.
" You think so?" Michelle asked.
" I know so."
" You're still a loser." Michelle said.
" Yeah, I know." Alex laughed.
" Good. As long as you know."

That night at dinner Danny and Sam kept sneaking peeks at each other. Finally Michelle got fed up.
" Okay, stop it with the cutesy looks, it's getting annoying." She said. Danny stood up.
" Kaitlyn, Michelle, I-we have an announcement to make." He said as Sam stood up as well.
" We've decided we don't' want to wait to get married. The wedding's going to be next month." Sam finished. Kaitlyn and Michelle looked shocked.
" Congratulations!" Kaitlyn finally cried.
" Yeah totally!" Michelle agreed then the two went to Kaitlyn's room.
" Next month…" Kaitlyn said.
" Yeah…" Michelle nodded.
" I can't wait." Kaitlyn smiled.
" Me either."
A/N okay it's short, but cut me some slack, I gave you two updates in… two hours. I'll post the final installment of the series… eventually. I want to work everything out first.
Toodles!
