"Mom, why do we have to move? We just arrived here not even a year ago!" Diana exclaimed.

"Honey, I know we just came here, but your dad and I had a better job offer in Amity Park."

"Look on the bright side. You can make new friends and get off to a new start," her dad tried to explain to her.

"Come on sis, this could be the place were we stay for the rest of your lives! You should be glad; we wouldn't have to move all over the nation any more," her sister Kula said trying to cheer her up, but it was too late. She was already out of the door. She ran down the street to her best friend Lilly. Once she found her on the stoop of her house she plopped down next to her. Lilly looked over at her and noticed that her friend's eyes were red and her face was pale.

"What's wrong Diana? I've never seen you like this before."

"We have to move!" she explained. Her friend looked at her in shock.

"Why?" Lilly asked.

"My parents took a new job on the other side of the nation!"

"That's terrible!"

"Yea, I know, but it gets worse. They think that we may be staying there for the rest of your lives! I don't want to go to a new place I want to stay here with my friends! Why do my parents have to be into ghost hunting? Why not pottery, or cooking, or work in a coffee shop? Any thing is better than ghost hunting."

"Calm down Diana, things will work out. Is there any way you can talk them out of it?"

"No, it's a said deal. They want us down there ASAP. Which to my parents, that's a week from now."

"You can't move tomorrow! You just can't!" Lilly exclaimed pulling on Diana's sleeve.

"I know. I don't want to go, but I have to go back home and help pack!" Diana said fighting tears.

"I'll come and help you pack maybe that would help some," Lilly said trying to sound optimistic. "Who knows it may be better than what you're thinking, but no matter how it goes you have to send me a letter every day!"

With that, the two girls headed off down the street to Diana's house. Once there they started to pack all of her things in different boxes as quickly and carefully as they could. Once they were done it was about 10:00 at night, and Lilly had to leave. Lilly promised to meet her back at her house before they left.

Diana looked around her room and saw emptiness. She had packed up what seemed like life as she new it, and just leaving it in the dust of the past. She went down the stairs to where everyone's beds were placed in the floor ready for the moving van the next day. She laid down and stared endlessly at the ceiling until she finally fell asleep.

The next day came too quickly for Diana. She awoke to a load noise beside of her. She looked over to see her sister yelling to get her up. Diana pulled the covers over her head and plunged her ears. Why do I have to have a sister? She thought as she curled up into a tight ball.

"Come on get up the moving van is here." Kula said pulling off the covers. Diana rolled out of the bed and slowly made her way to the bathroom. She looked into the mirror and saw her usual brownish, blonde, haired, and brown eyed self. Well I look the same but why don't I feel the same? She thought to herself. She changed clothes and finished getting ready. By the time she was done she noticed that all of their things were already in the moving van. She climbed the stairs and took one last look at life as she knew it. She looked around the house once more before heading back down-stairs and out the door. She took one last look around the yard, tears falling down her cheek. She felt a gentle hand land on her shoulder. She turned around to see Lilly, with tears going down her cheeks. They didn't say a word, but walked slowly back to the family R.V. Once there they were forced to part. It was only then that they spoke to one another.

"You have to write to me every day." Lilly said looking Diana straight in the eyes.

"I will." Diana spoke softly back in response. They gave one last hug then parted. It was going to be a long ride. Diana, knowing her parents, wouldn't stop for anything expect for food and to use the bathroom.

It took them one full week to make the long journey. By that time Diana had made three letters to Lilly describing the boring trip. Sure they were able to see some sites, but her parents wouldn't stop and let them look. "You can see them from the road. Plus we're on a dead line. We need to be at Amity Park by Monday." Her parents would say.

Once Kula saw the "Welcome to Amity Park," sign she freaked and ran straight to the window to get a closer look. If Kula thanks that this is cool then she really needs to get out more. Diana thought to herself. She wasn't the least bit enthused. She sat in the seat refusing to look out the window.

The van came to a sudden stop in front of a brick house. Diana and the rest of the family walked out of the R.V. and looked up at the two story house. "This house is freaking awesome! It's so much bigger then your old one!" Kula explained.

"Yea, yea it's big so what! Can we please just go inside now I would like to get my room fixed before night fall," Diana huffed to her sister, grabbed her luggage and marched thru the door. Once inside Diana gasped at what she saw. It was the house of her dreams! She was standing in the living room that had certain places for the T.V., a bookshelf and a bunch of room for other things that they had carried along with them. She turned to the left and saw an old fashion kitchen. Apparently the people that had lived there before them had been apple crazy. The whole kitchen had an apple theme.

She walked up the stairs still looking around and found her room. She was promised the biggest of the three rooms since she was the oldest. She stopped once again in her tracks. Her room had tons of space. Probably more space then she had things to put in. She looked at a corner and saw that they had already delivered her bed. She set her things down and went in search of her closet. She finally found it on the other side of the room. She opened the door and was surprised to find that she could put about twelve of her in it and still have room for her clothes.

After trying to plan out everything that she had and were it could go, she went in search for them and started to put things in order to her liking. The only down side to her room was that the color didn't go with everything else that she had. All of her stuff was red with Japanese signs on them, and the walls were black, but once she had finished she thought that it looked good and loved it. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it would be. The rest of the day went by in a blur with all of the unpacking and trying to figure out were everything else went.

By the end of the day Diana was ready to collapse of exhaustion, but instead of going to bed she decided to end her day by mailing her letters to Lily including the one she had just wrote about her new home. She went down stairs and told her parents were she was going then walked out to the stoop. She paused, looked around at her surrounding, and started walking. It took her a while but she finally found the post office on the other side of town. Mental note to self, get parents to drive me to the post office next time. She thought about what she had seen on her way to the post office in order to get herself home without being lost. She could remember going past several houses that looked like apartments. Then she went past a fancy estate, then a restaurant called Nasty Burger.She was just about home when she saw a sudden green flash. She looked around and saw nothing; then started walking back. She felt like she was being followed. She turned around and saw nothing, but heard a noise in the bushes. She ran past them in a panic never letting her eyes leave the bushes. She turned around and saw something she had never seen before, a ghost! It was pail skinned and had white hair. She turned around and started to run the other way. Great were not even here a day and I'm already getting chased by stupid ghosts. She made a turn and saw Casper High. She went around the school and tried to lose the ghost. When she stopped she realized that she was beside of the football field. She looked around and saw no one. Looking around once more she saw something green over in a corner. She started to run again. After this maybe I could make it on the track team, she thought sprinting for her life. She made it about fifty yards down the field and looked back over her shoulder to see the ghost gaining on her. She kept on running but didn't make it too far. Having the luck she had she tripped over a hole that she didn't see, and landed on her ankle wrong. Despite her struggle to get up she couldn't. The ghost was a few feet away and she knew she couldn't get away from him. Unable to think of anything else to do she screamed, even though no one was around to help. The ghost covered her mouth and she collapsed in the ghost hands shortly after.
