Reggie loved being a ghost. He could make his bass appear whenever he wanted, he didn't need to worry about his parent's fighting, he got to spend eternity with his best friends, he got to hang out with Ray and Carlos, who were the super cool dad and brother he never got, and he got to meet Julie and start a band with her. That was his favorite part.

After everything with Caleb, it was nice to relax and just hang out with his friends with no worries of being erased from existence. It was also pretty cool to figure out more about his ghost powers. Not only could he teleport and make lifers see him when he's performing, but he learned how to make himself visible to lifers he had a connection with for periods of time if he really focused on it.

Which was how he ended up hanging out with Flynn and Julie in Flynn's room while they were doing each other's makeup and nails.

Reggie thought that doing his nails would be cool, but he had only ever seen girls do it. Besides, he didn't even know how to, anyway.

He saw Julie doing a cool color pattern on her hands. Her thumb and index fingers were pink, middle finger was purple, and ring and pinkie fingers were blue.

"That's a cool pattern," Reggie commented.

"It's the bisexual flag," Julie said.

"Bisexual? What's that?" Reggie asked.

"It means that I like guys and girls," Julie explained.

Reggie's eyes went wide. "There's a word for that?"

"Yep," Julie smiled, and Reggie was silent for a moment.

"I think I'm bisexual," Reggie said, and Flynn and Julie smiled.

"Thank you for trusting us enough to tell us," Flynn said, and Julie nodded.

"Can I have my nails like that?" Reggie asked sheepishly.

"Sure," Julie smiled, getting the oink, blue, and purple bottles and starting to color his nails.

When Julie finished, she said, "Ok, you can't really touch anything until it's dry or it will smear,"

"Ok," Reggie replied. Flynn whispered something in Julie's ear and handed her what looked like a black colored pencil, and they both smiled and looked at Reggie.

"Close your eyes, and don't move," Julie said, and Reggie complied. He felt something move across his eyelid and resisted the urge to flinch. The same thing happened on the other side, and then Julie said, "Ok, you can open now."

Flynn held a mirror up in front of him, and he figured out that Julie had put eyeliner on him. He didn't expect to like it as much as he did.

He asked Julie and Flynn to teach him how to do that himself, and they happily did.

Alex's anxiety had a field day with his death and becoming a ghost. Everything changing around him was really hard, but he managed. Mostly.

Julie really helped. She introduced him and the guys to life in 2020 and really helped them figure out this whole ghost thing. Well, as much as she could, at least.

The person, or ghost, that helped the most, though, was Willie. He answered all of his questions about being a ghost, and still wanted to hang out with him, even though he was probably being super annoying.

Alex was a little nervous about his crush on Willie. He was mesmerized by his long hair and how sweet he was. But, he didn't want to hurt Luke. Yeah, they had been dead for twenty-five years, but it really only felt like a month or two since they broke up. Luke assured him, though, that he was ok with it and happy for him the night they went to the Hollywood Ghost Club. Besides, someone would have to be blind to not see the chemistry between Julie and Luke.

Alex's favorite memory with Willie was the first time they hung out after the Orpheum when Willie took him up to the Hollywood sign.

"I come up here when I need to get away," Willie explained. "I love just watching the sun come up."

They watched the sunrise in silence, holding hands through the whole thing. Alex was sure that if his heart still beat, it Willie would be able to hear it from where he sat.

Once the sun had finally completely appeared above the horizon, the two boys turned to look at each other. They looked into each other's eyes for a moment before closing the distance between them in a kiss.

After that, they met there almost every morning at sunrise and hung out whenever Willie could sneak away from Caleb without being noticed or getting in trouble. Though he was never really around these days, so it wasn't too hard.

Someday, Alex swore, he would get Willie out of whatever deal he made with Caleb. he would free his soul so that they didn't need to worry every time they wanted to see each other. Even though he didn't know how he was damn well going to figure it out.

Luke decided that becoming ghosts was the best thing that could have happened to him and his bandmates when they died. Getting to spend eternity playing music and hanging out together? Yes, please.

It was also really cool to meet Julie. She could make them be seen by lifers when they played! They got to be in a band again. That's the dream, isn't it?

Julie was also pretty rad on her own. She's so sweet and kind and is an amazing songwriter and singer. And she helped him figure out that he was pansexual, not bisexual. That was awesome.

Ok, so maybe Luke had a bit of a crush on Julie. No biggie.

All he wanted to do on the night that they learned they could touch each other was kiss her. He was holding her face in his hands and it was the perfect moment to do it, but they had bigger things to think about. Like saving Alex and Reggie from being erased from existence.

Again, no biggie.

Ever since that night, though, life had been pretty normal for them (Was it life if they were ghosts? Luke wasn't sure). Julie went to school, they wrote songs and had band practices, and things were pretty calm.

One day, he and Julie were trying to write a song at the piano, but getting nowhere. Julie just kept humming some other melody that Luke didn't recognize.

"If that melody is stuck in your head, let's just work on that song." Luke pointed out.

"It's... that's not..." Julie stuttered.

"Or is that already a song and I just don't know it?" Luke asked.

"No, it's not already a song..." Julie trailed off.

"Just play me what you have, then we can go from there," Luke suggested, and Julie took a deep breath, then put her fingers to the keys.

"The truth is finally breaking through,
two worlds collide when I'm with you,
our voice is rising so so high.
We come to life when we're
in perfect harmony." She sang.

Like sat there with his jaw on the floor like an idiot, and Julie just looked at him with a sheepish look on her face.

Like picked his jaw up off the ground and said, "Julie, I-"

Julie interrupted him by kissing him abruptly on the lips. When he didn't kiss her back right away in shock, she pulled back and said, "Luke, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that, I-"

"No, Julie." He stopped her spiral. "I really liked it."

She smiled softly, and he brushed one of her curls out of her face and pulled her into another sweet kiss. They pulled away and rested their foreheads together and smiled. Luke knew this was exactly where he was meant to be.

The guys of Sunset Curve were a blessing for Julie. They brought her and her music back to life. And she was so happy she got to see them and hang out with them every day, and that she was so happy they were her family.

She knew that they missed their families, but they had a new family with her, Carlos, and Ray. Her little family was broken and different than most, but it was hers, and she loved it. And she knew they did, too.
