Ale and Gh (the thief)

Tommy nodded, taking her hand and leading her past the cemetery gates. He led her down the street and took a couple turns before coming to a white house with a black door. "This is it," he said, knocking on the door. "Liz!!! Open up!!!"

A girl with curly brown hair and wide grey-blue eyes. "Tommy? What are you...and you're breathing?! How the-"

"Liz, we gotta see Andrew. Where is 'e?"

"Down in the basement, but what's going on?"

"I'll tell ya later," Tommy said, dragging Minali inside.

Minali
Oh great. ANOTHER HUMAN. Bleh. Tommy dragged me inside before I could say a word. I spotted Andrew and went over.

"YOO HOO! Mind if I talk to you for a sec'?"

Andrew frowned at seeing Tommy and Minali. "No," he answered, not looking at either of them.

Liz hurried down the steps, curious to see what was going on. She saw Andrew beging to fade and knowing he was trying to escape, grabbed him. "No fading."

"Elizabeth, lemme go." Andrew said, givng an annoyed look.

"No."

"Yes."

Minali

"Andrew...please. Stay." I said, wanting him to listen to us. If he disappeared again, I swore I was gonna get mad and...do something.

"why the 'ell should I?!" Andrew snapped, glaring at Minali. Liz pushed him down onto the couch and kept a hold onto his arm.

"he can't leave if I have a hold on him."

Andrew scowled, trying to shrug out of Liz's grasp.

Minali
"Thank-you," I said to the girl and looked at Andrew with a "You better stop and look me in the eye before I kill you." look. "Would you listen to me?"

(ANdrew: "I'm already dead. Ya missed yer chance NINETY-NINE YEARS AGO!!!")

Andrew rolled his eyes and felt his hand slip into Liz's, well...at least she was here. "What do ya want, Minali?" he grumbled, still not happy about her and Tommy being here.

Minali
"I'm here to talk to you. Would you listen to Tommy instead of running away like some hu-...baby? You get all mad and just walk away without listening to his reason. IS THAT VERY NICE? No. It isn't."

Liz blinked, "Why are you mad at Tommy?"

"Long story," Andrew said shortly. He turned back to Minali. "Never said I was nice."

Minali
I raised an eyebrow, "I can see that. But you should try to be, maybe your girlfriend would like you more. Now, let Tommy talk."

"She's not my-" "He's not my-" Andrew and Liz tried, both sighing.

"Why do ya want me to listen to Tommy so bad?" Andrew said, sitting back.

Minali
"Why do you think? You're making a mistake. You really want to walk away from your only friend who ISN'T alive, just because of something that happened like...a hundred years ago? Tommy wants to explain, and I don't care if I have to keep you locked up and force you to listen to him. You will listen to him."

Andrew sighed, "I'm dun blame 'im for my death. 'E didn't shoot me. I'm mad cause 'e wished me dead and ran away."

Tommy shuffled nervously, tears threatening to creep up again. "I'm sorry, Andrew...I,I shouldn't 'ave dun it. I was scared and 'urt. And you were forgettin' me, the whole reason I, I didn't cross over cause I was s-scared to go alone...I'm...I'm sorry, my friend.." Tommy said softly, tears running down his cheeks.

Andrew's gaze softened and he got up off the couch, crouching down to Tommy's level and wrapping his arms around him. "It's okay. I'm sorry too."

Tommy clung to Andrew, shaking and sobbing. "I, I didn't know you would get s-shot. I-I'm s-sorry!"

Minali
I felt something...an emotion or something...like sadness or sympathy or something. Weird...how did humans handle these? I looked down at the two, glad I could help make things better. But not everything was fixed. He would still be sad....

Tommy burried his face in Andrew's chest but passed through, he realized Andrew wasn't really hugging him and his hands were holding onto air. He frowned, siting down and sighing. Taking the back of his hand, he wiped the tears away. "I dun wanna be immortal...."

Minali
Oh...um...howfix?

"Maybe we should talk to Sarah?" I asked him, shrugging.

Tommy shrugged, "I dun know...at least I'm alive....it's just I can't really hang out with Andrew in the same way....but it's not like I'll grow up.." Gah this was confusing. "I'll give immortality a try."

Minali
"Okay!" I said, anything to make them feel better and get these emotions off of me.

Tommy looked at Minali, "Do you think I really am immortal? Is there a way to.find out...without.. you know...dying?"

Minali
"Easy. Cut yourself." I said, knowing that if he did, he would heal in a few minutes.

Tommy glanced at Andrew and Liz before dashing up the stairs to find a knife. Andrew and Liz quickly followed, trying to stop him before he got a hold of the knife.

"Tommy....put the knife down...." Andrew said, starting to inch his way toward Tommy, who pulled back causing Andrew to pass right through him. He took the knife and dug the blade into his skin, grimacing as he did so. The three watched as the cut slowly closed up as if Tommy had never cut himself.

Minali
I followed the others...what were they so worried about? I watched as the cut healed itself.

"Well...you're immortal alright! Y'know, this is actually a good thing. You can still live forever with Andrew and me! It's awesome! Amiright?"

"Thing is...Andrew..can't stay...Tommy wasn't supposed to either..." Liz said, looking up at Andrew sadly. "Andrew's gotta cross over."

Minali
"Cross over to what?" I asked. This chick just ruined the ENTIRE plan. cjlavialicevy9vbosd I mentally headdesked.

"I'm dead. Ghosts are people with unfinished bussiness. We're supposed to go to wherever we're supposed to. ' Eaven or 'ell...I guess..." He gulped at the last part.
