Suze's POV
I imagined that shadowland as well as I could…which is to say not very well. But can you blame me? It has been 20 years! But it seemed to work well enough, because when I opened my eyes, I was there.
"Hello? Guy in the gladiator outfit? Ya here?"
"Hello Suze" I know it's been 20 years and all, but I still recognise that voice like my own.
"Paul. What are you doing here?"
"Wow. You look great"
"Firstly, I know. Secondly, you didn't answer my question. What are you doing here?"
"Wow. Your still the same girl I remember. How longs it been? 20 years?"
"Bout that. Now are you gonna answer my question or do you want me to break your nose? Or better yet I'll go and get Jesse to break your nose. AGAIN."
"Seriously Suze take a chill pill."
"Chill pill? CHILL PILL? What are you Paul! Freakin 16!"
"Hey it was either that or calm your farm. Which would you prefer?"
"Seriously Paul. What are you doing here?"
"The gladiator told me you were coming today so I thought we could have a lil reunion."
"Speaking about the gladiator where is he?"
"Behind you." I admit it. I looked behind me.
"Very funny Paul. Now where is he?" He sighed.
"Yo! Gladiator! Over here!" Suddenly the gladiator appeared next to Paul.
"Hello Suze. It's been a while." Said the gladiator.
"Hey umm…so do you have a name?"
"Yes"
"Umm…are you gonna tell me it?"
"No"
"Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay…So anyway question. Can err half-ghosts shift?"
"What? Half-ghosts! Who's a half-ghost?" Why does Paul always have to interrupt?
"If you must know my kids are"
"You have kids? How many?"
"Twins."
"With Jesse!"
"No Paul. I married and had kids with Paul Slater. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK? Of course it was Jesse!"
"I personally liked the first option better…anyway you could have broken up."
"Yeah coz I'm totally gonna break up with the guy I nearly DIED for on numerous occasions"
"He could have broken up with you…"
"Ok Paul I'm sick of you, so if you could please SHUT THE HELL UP while I talk to this nice…umm…man"
"My lips are sealed."
"Yea sure. So can half-ghosts shift?"
"Yep."
"Ok cool. And do they have any other uhh powers I should know about."
"Nope…Wait. Do you know about the bringing people back to life thing?"
"What? NO!"
"Oh. Well they each have the power to bring one person back to life"
"Just one person?"
"Yes. They don't have enough power to bring back more than one person"
"What happens if they do?"
"They lose their own life's and instead of half-ghosts, they become full-ghosts. They continue to age until their hundredth birthday when they can finally find peace." Okay that freaked me out a little.
"Okay got it. They can only bring back one person."
"And they still have to have the body. And they have to have died recently. You don't wanna bring someone back in a skeleton…"
"Okay well that wouldn't be creepy at all. So what happens to the person brought back to life? Usually this stuff comes with a catch."
"Smart. The person brought back becomes a mediator."
"What if they're already a mediator?"
"Then they become a shifter."
"And if they're a shifter?"
"They become a half-ghost."
"And if they're a half-ghost?"
"They just come back as a half ghost."
"Ok. One more thing. Do you know anything about the, I don't know, MILLION ghost over at my kid's school?"
"So it has begun. I knew it was going to happen. I just didn't know when."
"What is it?"
"The ghost war. They're fighting back. It's all the ghost that refuse to pass on."
"ALL of them are at their school?"
"Not all. Most are in other countries and towns, facing other mediators across the globe."
"Ok I'm leaving. Thanks for all the help."
"You're welcome Suze. Be careful."
"Thanks. Goodbye."
"Wait! Suze!" Paul…again.
"I thought I told you to SHUT UP!"
"Suze. I just wanna say sorry again for everything I did when we were teenagers. Your just so amazing…I couldn't bare the thought of sharing you. I just wanted you all to myself. You have to understand that."
"Wow. You've improved your puppy dog eyes. And your lying voice. I nearly believed you."
"Hey it was worth a try."
"Goodbye Paul."
"Meet again in another 20 years?"
"Nope Bye."
"Ok…bye."
