I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Qwark, or any of the ParaNorman characters.

Taylor and Qwark follow Neil and Norman to what is Neil's house, and sees a someone working on a van, who asked, "Neil? Is that you?"

Neil soon replied, "Hey, Mitch. We're going to go play with the dead dog in the garden, and we're not even going to dig him up first!"

They soon heard a thud and a grunt, while Taylor said, "Ouch, that's going to leave a mark."

"I'll say," Qwark said.

Mitch then got up, and asked, "You're digging what? What? What did you say?" Mitch soon looked and saw Norman, who waved at him, and asked in a whisper, "Neil, isn't he that weird kid? You know, 'Look at me, I'm talking to ghosts so people will pay attention to me.'"

Neil glared, and said, "Can you stop doing that? It's kind of stupid."

Mitch soon said, "Now, listen to me. You don't need to be hanging out with weird people. Okay? That's a tip."

Neil replied, "Don't blow this for me, Mitch. This one's not weird. He talks to dead people!" Neil soon went to the back yard with Norman, Taylor and Qwark with him, and said, "He's around here somewhere." He soon asked Norman, "So, does everyone come back as a ghost?"

"No," Norman replied, paused, then said, "My grandma told me it's usually people who still have stuff to figure out, or sometimes it's the ones who died suddenly or in a bad way."

"For instance, being murdered," Taylor said.

Norman looked at her, and said, "Yeah that's true, but how'd you know?"

"I had some experience with that as well," Taylor replied, getting a confused look from Norman, and Neil, then she said, "Like I said, I'll explain later."

She soon sees Norman looking somewhere, then put on her goggles and set it to Median Vison, and saw a dog that cut in half, then Norman asked, "Bub?" then chuckles.

Neil then gasped, then asked, "Is he there? How does he look?"

Norman and Taylor looked at Bub, who walked behind his other half, and sniffed it, while Norman replied, "Uh, good. He's happy to see you."

Bub the ran to Neil, and jumped, but went through him, while Neil said, "Who's a good boy, huh? Good boy!" He looked at Norman, and asked, "Can he feel if I pet him?"

"Yeah, I guess," Norman replied.

He soon kissed the air, and said, "Bubby-wubby-boo"

Norman and Taylor looked at what Neil was doing, then Norman said, "Uh, that's not his chin." Neil stopped since he was kissing his rear.

He then looked and saw a stick, picked it up, and whistled, and said while throwing the stick, "Go get it!"

"He can't fetch it, you know," Norman said.

"Yeah. Well, it's still fun," Neil replied, then said, still thinking he's talking to Bub, "Good boy!" Norman, Taylor and Qwark look at Neil, as he said, still thinking he's playing with Bub, "Bring it back! Go get it, Bub," he makes kissing sounds, then said, "Good boy!" He laughed, then Norman picked up the stick, and Neil asked, "Why don't you try?"

Norman looked, and said, "Because I don't really..." He soon tried to give the stick to Neil, and said, "You can go."

"No. No. It's fun, try it," Neil replied.

"No, I don't want to," Norman replied back.

Neil shrugged his shoulders, and said, "You throw it. It's really easy."

"No, it's okay. You can throw it. I don't mind," Norman said.

Neil comes to Norman, and said, "No. Come on. It's really fun." He soon got Norman up and standing to where Neil was playing with the stick.

Norman was a bit shock, then said while trying to give the stick to Neil, "Here, you go first."

Neil shook his hands and said, "No you try it. I already went, like, 50 times."

Norman held the stick and asked, "Okay, what do I do?"

Neil that moved his hands and replied, "You get the stick, you pull back, and you throw it."

Norman then threw the stick with a grunt, which rebounded on a tree, and hit Neil. Norman, Taylor, and Qwark gasped, and Norman asked, "Neil?" he went to his fallen friend and said, "Sorry!"

Neil soon got up and said with his mouth muffled for the stick was in his mouth, "I fetched it."

Norman chuckled, then they both were laughing, while Norman helped Neil up and asked, "Are you okay?"

Taylor and Qwark smiled, but then Taylor's goggles were vibrating, and she adjusted to the right setting, which was Enhanced Clairvoyance, to see things through Tess's eyes.

Tess sees Prenderghast in the room from Taylor's vision, and he said after a growl, "I'll show him, and that scary little fat kid." He soon grabbed a book, and continued, "Doesn't he realize we're running out of..." Prenderghast twitched, said, "Ohh!" gasped and fell to the floor with a thud. He laid there, then some green aura version of him came up, but then he gasped, got up, laughed, and said, "No. Not yet!" He luaghed again, and said, "Not yet!" He soon groaned again, and the aura appeared, and said, "Whoa!" then groaned, he looked around than put an arm to his stomach, which went through, knowing he's now a ghost, he soon said, "Aw, nuts."

Taylor took off her goggles, knowing that he's dead, she soon knew he might now can only be seen by Norman.

Well, Norman had some time with his friend, and had a bit of fun, but now his great uncle is dead, and what is it he wants his great nephew to do.
