Jesse's POV

I was home by 6pm. I went to my room to lie down for a bit or maybe even snuggle with my Susannah. The light was on inside. I knocked on the door and opened it only a crack when Susannah's friend, Gina, gasped.

"Don't come in!" Susannah exclaimed. I shut the door.

"Querida, what are you doing?" I asked through the door.

"Nothing! She's fine!" Gina replied.

"Jesse, go get ready. Gina's taking us to dinner." Mi Querida said.

I laughed softly "Susannah, my clothes and toiletries are in there"

"We'll pass them out to you?" Gina suggested.

I heard giggling and laughing. "What is going on? I thought you were passing them out to me"

"We are" She giggled "just choosing an outfit for you"

Oh no. The last time Susannah chose my outfit for me it consisted of the pastel pink Ralph Polo she had gotten me for my birthday and that I had worn once and pale blue Jeans. I mean, I guess she is the fashion expert but I looked like cotton candy. I suppose I looked good enough to eat. I smiled. Soon after that they passed out a black short sleeved dress shirt, a singlet for underneath, my dark denim Levi's and a necklace I had never seen before. There were orange, black and white shells woven onto the thread and in the middle was a shark's tooth. It looked…well…real.

"Querida, where did you get this?"

"What?" more giggling.

"This necklace."

"Oh, the surf shop across the road" It looked very familiar.

"Susannah!"

"look, I'm sorry. But can we talk about this later?"

"No, I need my toiletries"

"oh, of course" She shuffled around and Gina handed out the little bag.

"Thank you. Oh, where do I shower?"

"Um, the bathroom down the hall" Gina yelled through the wood.

"Thank you" I replied. I wondered what they were doing in there. I postponed my thinking and had a shower. I shaved and got dressed. I took one more look at the necklace and decided to where it. Wherever I saw it, I would remember soon. I put my Dunlop Vollies on and waited in the lounge and petted Leo. He was getting fur all over my clothes but I didn't care.

Gina POV

"Gosh, Simon. I wished I had a boyfriend to impress. You then go to so much trouble and even if your hair frizzes it doesn't matter cause they love you anyway. I can't wait for all that!"

"Oh, you'll get it. It usually comes when you're not looking for it" She smiled at that. I smiled back. She was seriously lucky. She gave her hair one last flick and we were ready to show her off. She was wearing her new white dress with white leggings underneath and her boots. She took her new jacket cause it's really cold in NYC at the mo. Well, it is Winter. We had straightened her under layer of her hair and curled the top layers. It looked really good. My hair was straightened and shiny unlike it's usual curly mess. I wore my black skinny jeans and my new Zebra print blouse with a black singlet underneath and I borrowed Suze's black Zoë Wittner's. I looked like a babe-magnet, if I do say so myself. But Suze was still the hotter out of both of us.

We walked out and I waited for Jesse's expression. It was way beyond impress. He was quite speechless.

"Querida, um…" Suze smiled her sexy smile which I'm sure she practiced in front of the mirror all the time. Jesse smiled a mischievous, half smile.

"Shall we go?" I asked.

"Yes, good idea." Suze replied

Suze's POV

Haha, I got him! Well, he looked even sexier tonight than ever, besides when he used to wear his white puffy, six pack showing shirt and tight pants which you could see his gorgeous butt in when he was a ghost. I took his hand and followed Gina to the cab rank outside her apartments.

She took us to Pepe's Mexican. She told me it was somewhere Jesse would like and well, she was right.

"Wow, chummy changers. My mama used to make those. I haven't had one in years." I squeezed his hand and smiled at him. He squeezed back. Yeah, like 150 something years! Haha. I looked at my menu. Ooohhh quesadilla's. I love those. I think I'll get one of those.

A waiter came up to us, gave us a bottle of water and asked if we were ready to order. Gina smiled at him flirtatiously. Well, I guess I could see the attraction. Nothing compared to my Jesse, though!

"Yes, um can I get the chummy changers and a coke."

"Well, unlike my fiancé I'll have a glass of the Kilawarra and a quesadilla, thanks."

He turned to Gina and she just smiled at him. I rolled my eyes and looked at her. I nudged her leg under the table.

"What? Oh. Um, I'll have the nachos and make that a bottle of Kilawarra. Thanks." He took the menus from us and Gina went to the bathroom.

"How was work?" I asked him.

"Well, I delivered my first baby today"

"Oh, My God! Jesse…" I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Congratulations! How did it go?"

"Very well, thank you, Querida. Guess what they called they're son?"

"Tell me."

"They named it after me. Jesse Jameson Parker."

"Well, I can't see why they wouldn't." Just then Gina came back.

"So what did you two love birds do with yourselves while I was gone?"

"I was just congratulating Jesse on his success. Tell her!" I took a sip of my water. And he did.

"Congratulations, Jesse! So do you think you'll be ready when it's Suze's turn?"

There was a pause. I coughed and went to the bathroom. I went into a stall, put the lid down and sat down to think.

Children. We haven't even discussed the issue yet!

Gina came in. "Suze?" I stood up and unlocked the stall door.

"Suze! I'm so sorry!" She hugged me.

"It's ok! Seriously." But then I burst into tears.

"Gina! We haven't even discussed a family yet. I mean I know we're getting married next June but…"

"But, don't you want kids?" She asked, confused.

"Of course! How can you even ask me that? I've been waiting for this for my whole life! But I'm scared. I mean, I don't want me and Jesse to fall apart! It's crept up on me and it's nerve racking."

"Oh, Simon." She sighed and looked at me sympathetically. "Don't you know anything? Have you not noticed the way he looks at you? And when he's about to leave you can just see it on his face that he's arguing with himself to stay. I can assure you, Jesse's not going anywhere." She tucked a piece of loose hair behind my ear.

I smiled at that. Gina took a tissue out from her purse and dabbed at my eyes and redid my makeup.

"Thanks, Gina. You really are a good friend." We were packing away the makeup when someone emerged from a cubical.

"Well, Well. If it isn't Susannah Simon and Gina (a/n don't know her last name) Wallace. Fancy seeing you back. Just like the old days."

"Kimmy! What a pleasant surprise!" I smiled broad and fake.

Kimmy Michelton was the smart version of Brittany Bradshaw. She was attractive, slim and had an IQ of infinity. Brittany and Kimmy were like lost sisters. Like Brittany, Kimmy loved to be in the limelight. She had been the Editor of the school paper, class president and could have any guy she wanted. Unlike Brittany, Kimmy was a red head.

"Sure. So what have you done with yourself over the last, what? Ten years, was it?"

"Yes but you know, as much as I'd love to share intimate details with you, my fiancé is waiting and he's not a very patient guy. So, adios." And we left.

Jesse's POV

Finally. How long does it take to go to the bathroom? I saw her coming towards me and smiled my hundred watt smile.

"Hi. Sorry we took so long. Ran into an old class mate." She rolled her eyes.

Our meals came soon after that and we were all silent for the rest of dinner.

We paid and left.

"So, we ready to go dancing?"

Gina

"Dancing?" Jesse asked questioningly.

"Gina! We don't want to go dancing. We're too tired. And my feet still kill"

"No, no, Susannah. I want to hear about this dancing"

"Well, Suze, it looks like you're out numbered. We're going dancing and there's nothing you can do about it." I said cheekily.

I saw something in Jesse's eye that made me curious.

We arrived at Instant Tang and the DJ was working up on his little stage. We all sat at the bar and ordered some drinks. This old guy was checking out Suze's chest. She noticed and rolled her eyes. She put her jacket on for a bit of coverage.

"I thought we were going dancing.' Jesse said, puzzled.

'We are going dancing. You see that area with the lights flashing and the music playing? That's the dance floor.' Suze laughed at Jesse's reaction.

'But how on earth do you dance to this?' he asked, nodding toward the DJ who had started playing Usher. I sighed and rolled my eyes.

'When was your boyfriend born? The 19th century?' I ask my friend. She raised her eyebrows. 'Go and teach him how to boogie! And that is an order!'

Suze

My god. Teaching Jesse to dance to Usher is like teaching a pig to fly. It cannot be done! I am serious. He just doesn't feel the music. It took us Usher's 'Yeah', Gwen Stefani's 'Wind it Up', and JT's 'My Love' to get him dancing at least remotely like he's living in the 21st century. By the time we did, a slow song came on and everyone had partners. We came in closer to each other and I wrapped my arms around him. 'You remember this dance, don't you?' I asked him.

'Of course, Querida. How could I forget?' His voice vibrated through his chest. I could hear his heart beating as I laid my head on his chest. I opened my eyes and…to my annoyance…saw the pervert of a ghost walking to the girl's bathroom. I sighed. 'Querida? What's the matter?' He stopped and looked down at me.

'Ghosts.' I sighed again and looked up into his eyes. He sighed along with me. 'I better go check it out.' I planted a peck on his lips and strolled to the bathroom. I saw Ghostie entering the bathroom and saw him leaning on the sink when I came in. He was deciding which to choose. I went into a stall, pretended to go and came back out. I turned on the tap and casually started talking to him. 'So, I don't see why you waste your ghostly days down here and get nothing while there could be something so much better waiting for you up there.' I turned off the tap and dried my hands with some paper towel.

He leered at me. 'You again?! Can't you see I'm busy?'

'Too busy to chat to an old friend? Come on Toby…'

'Wait…I know you, don't I?' He studied me carefully. 'Suze. Suze Simon.' He looked taken aback.

'What's wrong? Have I changed?' I smirked.

'Ahhh…just a bit…I mean, you're kinda…hot.'

'Is that all you ever think about these days, how people look…?' Someone was coming out of a stall.

"No…"

"Um, yes! I thought you were better than that…well, actually no I didn't" I admitted.

"Yeah, we hardly even spoke to each other. So…"

"So…I think I should probably get this over with. As you know you're a ghost…"

"Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious...Wait, you can see ghosts? I thought you were weird back at school." He scrunched his nose up "I always wondered why you were never in science…and why you always seemed to be in the hospital…Oh, and all those times you were brought home by the police. Huh. Never would have guessed."

"Yeah, good thing too. Who knows how popular I would have been then. Anyway, I need to know why you're still on earth…Why you haven't moved on. I mean, is there a message for me to pass on? Is there a woman you loved but never told? What?"

"Huh? Message? There's no message. Or a woman. I mean, what do you mean by move on?"

"Like, why haven't you gone to heaven or hell or your next life or whatever. Why are you here?"

"Heaven? Hell? No way. I just wanna stay on earth. I like it here."

"Right, but that can't happen. You don't belong here. This is a place of the living, not the dead. Understand? No one wants a pervert, hiding around, when they have the right to privacy."

"Except no one can see me…so it's great"

"Hmmm…well, who's talking to you right now? I'm pretty sure I don't want anyone but my fiancé to see me naked which isn't going to happen until our honeymoon and I'd rather wait for that, than for some freak to…urgh!" Shivers ran up my spine. It was feral, just thinking about it. Erlack.

"Look, I'm not going anywhere so just leave me" He said and dematerialized. I rolled my eyes. Great job, Suze. You should really get an award for Best Mediator
