Chapter Two: Dead Girls Aren't Allowed to Have Fun (Part 1)

A/N: Ok. I meant to have this up way earlier, but I got kind of stuck. This was supposed to cover the second episode, but I have been having a lot of problems with it, so I'm just going to post what I have now so you guys have something. I'm currently re-watching the episode so hopefully, I will be able to post more soon…maybe. Oh! I probably should have mentioned this before, but this story is unbeta'd so any mistakes I make are mine. Enjoy!

Waking up the next morning was awkward, and not just because it was the first time she had slept in a solid body in over a year. No, what made the morning extra weird was the fact that when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Scott hovering over her bed, staring at her.

"Eep!" Sally shrieked and promptly rolled off the bed to the floor. "Don't do that!"

"Don't do what?" Scott asked, but the slight smirk on his face told her he knew exactly what she was referring to.

"Oh. You know exactly what," Sally replied. "Don't stand over my bed watching me sleep like some…some…Reaper-Creeper!"

"Seriously? Reaper-Creeper?"

"Yes," Sally shot with an indignant glare, "and if you don't stop smirking at me like that, I can, and will, make that your new nickname. I think Josh and Nora would enjoy calling you that, more than they would 'Scott'."

"You wouldn't."

"Try me."

Scott sighed. "Fine. I won't watch you sleep, but being a ghost is boring! At least when I was sharing your body, I wasn't the only one awake all the time. What did you do before I existed?"

"Well, for one thing," started Sally, "I didn't watch people sleep."

Scott stared at her suspiciously.

"Okay! Fine!" Sally shouted, getting defensive. "When I first realized I was dead, I may have watched a few people sleep. But I didn't know anyone could see me! It's not like I knew they were going to wake up to see me hovering over them. But then I met Aidan and Josh and I realized that other people could see me and-"

She was saved from further justification by a knock on the front door.

"Hmm," said Scott. "Company. I wonder who that is. Let's go find out." Scott vanished.

Sally sighed. "So that's what that feels like," she mumbled to herself. "When I'm a ghost again remind me to use doors." Realizing there was no one there who could actually remind her, Sally made her way downstairs to see who was at the door. Hopefully, Scott hadn't scared them away.

Scott vanished from what was now Sally's room and appeared outside the door next to the visitors. Said visitors jumped as he suddenly appeared beside them. Upon closer inspection, Scott realized that he recognized the two people standing on the stairs, except that when he last saw them, they weren't exactly people. Oh, this was going to be fun.

"Hello," said the younger of the two, "I'm Stevie and this is Nick. You're a ghost, right?"

Scott smirked. "I'm Scott, but we've already met."

"Really?" the other one, Nick, asked. "I don't remember-"

"Yes," Scott said, cutting him off, "although, the last time we saw each other, there was a lot more pleading." The former ghosts stared, unsure of how to respond, but were saved by Josh opening the front door to greet his guests.

"Oh, hello," stammered Josh. "Umm. Hi. Stevie and Nick. You guys are…alive! Ha ha." That man practically bleeds awkwardness. It was almost painful to watch, unless you were Scott. Then, it was just hilarious.

"Yeah," breathed Stevie, "we were just talking to Scott." He shot Scott a wary glance. "Is he a friend of yours?"

"Aaaand you met Scott," Josh sighed. "That's…umm, hey, why don't you guys come in?"

Nick and Stevie entered the house and Scott followed, but not before aiming a glare at Josh for ruining all his fun. Of course, the effect was somewhat lessoned by the fact that Josh still couldn't see him. How annoying.

Sally chose that moment to finally stumble down the stairs.

"Scott," she said, "don't just disappear in the middle of the conversation. It's super annoy-"

Scott could tell the moment she realized who the visitors were. Her eyes widened in some kind of joy and she proceeded to give each of the former ghosts a vicious hug and began jumping around.

"Oh my gosh! You guys are here! I didn't think it worked. Did you guys wake up in your grave? Isn't having a body great? I slept for the first time without worrying about bringing anything to our world from beyond! Of course that could be because the Reaper is kind of already here, but….oops."

Stevie and Nick scrambled to look around.

"Whoa, whoa!" yelled Stevie. "Are we talking about the same Reaper that shredded us? The Reaper that was an evil version of you? What do you mean the Reaper is here?"

Scott cleared his throat. When the attention was drawn to him he slashed at the air with his hand and smirked at the guests. "I'm hurt that you don't recognize me. Do you need a repeat performance?" He stepped closer to the now terrified Stevie and chuckled. "I think I can arrange that."

Before anyone could get shredded, Sally stepped in. "Scott, cut it out. Remember what we talked about?"

"You mean about spying on people while they sleep, or about me not being allowed to hurt your friends?" asked Scott, cheekily.

"What do you think?" Sally replied with a glare. "Look," she started before the Reaper could come up with a retort, "why don't you go wait upstairs."

"I'm not a dog you can order around," shot Scott. "Stevie and I were just remembering old times, isn't that right?" The hard stare accompanying his words ensured that Stevie only nodded and backed away from Scott in small, measured steps.

Sally sighed. So this was how it was going to be. "If this is going to work, you are going to need to compromise. So Scott, if you don't leave this room in the next five seconds, I am going to go grab some salt and then I'm going to salt you into a corner until you can learn that scaring my friends is not acceptable."

"So I'm not a dog, but I'm a toddler? I don't think so!" Scott yelled. The walls began to tremble with the Reaper's heightened agitation. Sally remained undeterred.

"You said that we share some sort of link, right?" Sally focused her steady gaze on Scott's face. "Well use your connection or whatever to see if I'm lying. Five seconds."

Scott glared and the lights sparked for a few seconds before he backed down and disappeared in a huff of angry spirit particles. She may have won this round, but this was not over.
