Alice's POV:
"And then, she started singing! Listen!" I pressed the play button, and the ghostly voice was just barely audible on the tape. But, it was definitely there.
"That same voice started talking downstairs!" Bella gasped
"What were you doing down there?" I was going to go down stairs, but after I heard some kind of abnormal screaming, I figured I wanted no part of it.
"We were not doing anything," Jasper sighed, "Rose said the Ouija board was stupid, and that's when we had a little trouble."
"We should've listened to you and put a dime on the board…"
"Yes, you should've, but it's alright…let's go."

"So, Bella…now you believe…"
"Yes, Alice, I believe"
"Good…I told you we'd find a ghost…it just took some time, that's all" I gave her an "I told you so" look, and she narrowed her eyes at me…Bella can be very contemptuous sometimes!
"We're…never going ghost hunting again, right?" Jasper asked, still very on edge from their experience in the basement.
"NO! Absolutely not!" Rose huffed. As usual, she tried to cover up fear with anger.
"Okay, just making sure" he looked relieved
"We forgot to put the Ouija board away…will that make the ghosts mad?" Edward asked nervously.
"Not at us…we don't live there…but, probably not anyways." I assured him.
"Not that any of you would, but don't talk about this when Carlisle and Esme get back…" they agreed. And then we listened to that song, Secret Agent Man all the way home…up until that day, we all thought the lyrics were "Secret Asian Man". But honestly, doesn't everybody?

Weeks Later…
"We're home!" Esme sang as she and Carlisle walked through the front door. Luckily it wasn't windy out, but it didn't matter, because that time they came right in.
"How was the trip?" Bella asked
"Excellent! The ship was beautiful!"
"And the weather was perfect!"
"Glad you guys had a good time."
"We did!"
"So, what did you all do while we were gone?"
"Not much" Rose shrugged
"We got some good movies on Demand…"
"Went ghost hunting…" I elbowed Emmett—hard, "just kidding!" he was still wincing and rubbing his arm. They didn't seem to know.
"My plants seem a little…dead"
"Oh, Esme, that's just tough love!" Rose chimed. That reminded me…the mail at the hospital.
"I'll be right back…"
"You forgot the mail, didn't you?" Carlisle sighed, "But I kind of expected it anyways…"
And so ends another chapter in the endless, but super duper cool life of Baby Spice…
