"I buried it here?" ...Ugg...Why was-um am I soo stupid?
"Yea, umm...but, I don't know how we are going to dig it up without anybody noticing..."
Casper thought for a while but nothing came.
"Why did I have to bury it here? I have more sense than that." Kat said frowning. "Are you sure she's me?"
"I'm sure, you must have had a reason for it, now I'm going to see if something s actually down there ok?" Casper said pointing to the bottom of the massive oak.
"Ok." Kat said leaning against the trunk. Casper zoomed down under the tree.
"Yep something is down there!" He said moment's after, poped his head back up.
"Hmm...We'll have to come back at night and dig." Kat said wishing she had never buried it there in the first place...Wait a minute..."Casper?" Kat started and Casper gave her a little humm in response. "How did the, whatever it is get down there anyway?"
"What do you mean? You buried it..." Casper said shrugging his shoulders.
"Well...if we dig it up and I use it during my umm...visit and bury it again for my past/
future self to dig it back up...how did it ever come into existence?" Casper gave a very understanding, confused look.
"I umm...don't know, umm...there is soo much we don't understand..."
"Is it a good idea? To go back I mean..." Kat was now getting a little nervous and unconfident.
"It's already written in history, if we refuse to go the easy way something may happen..."
Casper was right, his dad had obviously tried it before to probably stop Casper's original death and he ended up dying another way...well, if you read between the lines of the part they read, that s what it means...
That night Casper and Kat waited for the other house inhabitants to go to sleep and when they did Kat dressed in black, to avoid being seen-it's hard for humans to see a dark object at night, They grabbed two torches and Band-Aids from the medical cupboard in the bathroom. Then Casper quietly flew Kat out of the window. Grabbing two shovels from the old gardener s supply, they headed off to the park.
"It's here Kat..." Whispered Casper pointing to the spot he had seen it. Kat nodded and tied the torches tightly to the shovels with the Band-Aids.
"Here." Whispered Kat handing Casper a shovel. They both started digging. Thay dag and dag untill they hit something hard...Then they started digging again to loosen it. It was something wrapped in plastic, how plastic had gotten into 1904... they don't know...Was there plastic wrapping in 1904? Kat grabbed the object and ran towards the mannor, Casper carried the shovels.
Once back inside Kat sat down on the bed and unwrapped the plastic and examined the contense. It was clothing. A dress, hat and shoes. The dress had four big buttons on the front in a two by two order. The ends of the sleeves would wrap around your wrist tightly with the arm attached to them attaching to the dress was a little puffy in comparison. The top half of the dress looks like a coat and the bottom looks like an attached skirt, both the same creamy colour. The hat was sort of puffy, like something you would imagine a French artist would wear, but puffier, that was creamy to and the shoes was a brown coloured dolly slippers.
"Am I supposed to wear these?" Kat asked admiring the old cloves.
"Yea! I remember these cloves!" Casper's head was filled with new memories. "Yea- oh and Kat no offence but you will be acting kinda strangely..." Casper said a little warningly.
"How am I gonna-how did I act strangely?" Kat asked a little confused. Are we talking about my future self or past self?
"Well it you did stare off into space a lot nodding your head sometimes..."
"Umm...Was you there?" Kat asked and Casper got a little confused.
"Yea, that s how I remember-"
"No, no I mean YOU." Kat said butting in a little.
"Oh, ME? I dunno...it did kinda looked like you was communicating with somebody..."
"Well...when do we go?" Kat asked exited, but nervous of what might happen.
"How about tomorrow? It's Sunday tomorrow." Casper said excitedly, he was going to see all his friends again! Kat agreed giving a little yawn, it's tiring digging holes...
That morning Kat awoke with a flash and went down stairs to see Casper making pancakes.
"Good morning Casper!" Kat said smiling at him as she went to sit down.
"Good morning Kat! Would you like maple or golden syrup?" Casper asked placing she wonderful smelling food in front of her.
"Hmm...golden please." Kat answered and Casper nodded and fetched her the golden syrup. When Casper came back they locked eye contact. Casper was staring into her shinning, chocolate eyes and Kat was staring into his caring, deep sea blue eyes. He's soo wonderful...wait what's that smell?
"C-Casper!" Kat shouted pointing to the black smoke emerging from the cooker and Casper zoomed over yelping a little and saved them...I wonder if dad likes his pancakes singed...
"Sorry Casper..." Kat said sympathetically.
"No, no it's-" Casper was cut off by the arrival of his three troublesome uncles.
"Casper! Whers our meal!?" Stretch is soo rude...and they laugh at the most strangest things.
"Here ya go uncle Stretch, Stinky, Fatso..." Casper said handing the trio a mountain of doughnuts and about six pancakes each. Kat eyed them meanly watching in disgust how they eat their food and wonders why Casper is soo nice to them...it's not like they can hurt him.
I think...
"Good morning Dr. Harvey." Casper said as he walked through the door. Dr. Harvey said his hello's and so did Kat and I think the trio said hello...it sounded a little like a threat.
Kat finished her breakfast and both Kat and Casper rushed down to the lab with the journal,
the pad, pen and the clothes.
"Hmm...How would you work this?" Kat asked and Casper thought for a bit.
"Dunno...Is there instructions in the journal?" Casper asked flicking through the pages while Kat examined the inside of the machine.
"Did you find anything, Casper?" Kat shouted from the inside.
"No...you?"
"No, nothi-wait..." Kat said noticing a moveable panel. "Casper!"
"What, what did you find?" Casper asked flying in with her.
"Look, Casper...numbers." Kat said and it was indeed numbers. Kat had found the control panel.
"Woa...shall we go now?"
"Umm...ok...umm...what do I press in?" Kat asked alittle un easey.
"I dunno...umm...try 02-10-1904."
"Ok...umm...02-10-..."
"1904."
"Right, 05-1904..." As soon as Kat typed in the numbers there was what seemed like a earthquake for about five seconds then stopped...This is seriously freaky...
Kat walked towards the door, reached out to open it and...
"I-I Can't do it, Casper. You go out first." Kat said pushing the little ghost towards the door.
"Ok, ok, I'll see if the coast is clear." Casper went invisible and floated out of the door, after about a minute he returned.
"Everybody is eating breakfast, my dad didn't use the lab as often before I died and I'm going to get ready for school in about five minutes so we've got that length of time to get out without being seen."
"Umm...how?" Kat asked peering out of the machine. Wow...everything looks a lot...cleaner...
"Remember when we was searching for the lock for the key?" Casper said leading the way to the far side of the lab.
"Yea? Oh yea, there's a secret passage leading to your dad's study!" I sure hope we don't get caught...
"C'mon, Kat!" Casper said grabbing her hand and leading her down the dark tunnel. At the end, Casper popped his invisible head out to check. "All clear." Kat made her way towards the door of the study when they heard somebody coming their way. Oh, hello, sir. What am I doing in you house? Umm...anybody call for pizza?
Kat and Casper panicked and hid behind the massive plant pot beside the door. The door knob turned, the door opened and in walked Casper's dad. Casper stared in disbelief, he had not seen his dad living and breathing in a good ninety something years, let alone happy and cheerfully humming a tune. Casper's dad began ruffling through various pieces of paper and he had left the door open. Kat quietly snook out. "Now open the front door as quietly as possible..." Casper whispered and Kat grabbed the front door knob and quietly stared turning it. There was a small click and Kat and Casper whipped their heads round to see if anybody heard it. When they saw nobody, Kat slipped out the door and ran round to the side of the mansion.
"Susan, Did you leave the front door open?" Kat and Casper heard a deep voice that belonged to Casper's dad.
"No, sir, I'll go check." Answered a small obedient voice. Casper and Kat looked round the corner to see a maid looking round and they quickly hid again. Once they heard the door close they looked to see if the coast is clear.
"C'mon, Casper." Said Kat turning round the corner. The door opened again and Casper quickly grabbed Kat and pulled her back round and she accidentally made a little sound. Turning round to see where that sound came from was a young, blue eyed, blonde who just shrugged it off and carried on. It's Casper...
Kat and Casper waited until the human Casper went out of sight.
"Ok, C'mon Kat." Said Casper floating towards the direction human Casper went towards.
"Wait one minute." Said Kat getting the clothes ready to put on. "Turn around please." Casper turned around with a strange expression on his face. Thoughts went through his mind, but ignored them. ;) "You remember the way don't you?" Kat asked shoving the clothes she taken off in the plastic covering and hiding it in a nearby bush.
"Yea, I think so." Casper said grabbing Kat's hand and directing her out of the grounds in a way not to be seen.
"Casper..."
"Yea?"
"How will you show me the way?"
"You follow me."
"Yea, but you can't be seen so you have to go invisible..."
"Ah...I see what you mean..." Casper grabbed Kat's shoulders from behind. "What if I hold on to you so you know I'm there and I'll whisper the directions in your ear...like this..." Casper whispered the last part in her ear and Kat blushed at how close they were.
"Sure where to now?" Kat asked as Casper went invisible.
"Follow the path up ahead till you see a flak in the road." Kat nodded and followed the path.
Casper spent his waiting time staring at Kat, she can't see him at the moment anyway. "Take the left path into town..." Casper whispered when they came to three different path options. Kat walked into town and she stared at everything that isn't there in 1996 and she stared a lot at the people. Nobody in my time would dress as if there going to a black tie dinner party...
"Turn around the next corner..." Kat did as Casper told her to and turned the corner of what seems like a toy store. Kat stared at the motor car going past...she had only seen them in museum s and...urm...Mary Poppins...
"Go straight ahead to the right path and cross the road..." Kat did so and she really felt as if she was being watched by everybody as if they knew...although it was paranoia...
"Were here now, It's just round the next corner...Oh and Kat, when you talk to the teacher you always say 'sir' at the end.."
"Why?" Kat asked turning the corner.
"Because it's not like your time remember...you will get punished for rudeness..."
"That's silly..." Kat said making sure she was not heard.
