Reggie's POV

I thought this whole Luke thing would go away and everything would go back to normal, but when we were rehearsing I just couldn't stop thinking about him and my stomach filled with butterflies. I knew I wouldn't be able to just go over there and sing into the same mic like we always do, so I just didn't. I don't think anyone noticed anyways.

After we we're done rehearsing Willie had to talk to Alex, so they left. I was gonna see if Luke and Julie wanted to go do something but Julie said she had a song to show Luke so I just decided to go talk to Ray.

"Hey, how's it going?" I ask poofing into the kitchen as he made dinner. "Do you mind if I hang out with you? Everyone else is busy"

Part of me wonders why I talk to him as if he could answer. He can't hear me, he has no idea I exist. I'm just a hologram who lives in Sweden for all he knows. Alex is right, it doesn't really make me feel much better at all. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it only makes me feel worse. It's like the opposite of having and imaginary friend.

I look at the recipe Ray had open. Buffalo chicken soup. "That's a good one." I say. "My mom use to make it." I sigh, remembering my mom. I wish I knew what happened to her and the rest of my family. Not that their life would be much different. I was just as invisible to them alive as I am to Ray right now, most of the time anyway. "Hey Ray...do you have any close friends? Like friends from your whole life that have just always been there, or do they eventually go away?" I sigh. I'm not gonna get many answers out of him. "Never mind you can't hear me anyways." I sigh and I poof to the beach.

Alex's POV

After Willie poofed away after kissing me I just stroud there in shock. Am I dreaming?? I poof to the studio excited to tell everyone what happened. Willie freaking kissed me! I can't even believe it. I have to find him, tell him I feel the same.

I poof into the studio and Julie and Luke are in there working on a song.

"Hey man." Luke says. "What did Willie want?"

"Well two things actually." I say remembering I should also share the Caleb news. "I've got good news and I've got bad news, what do you want to hear first?" I realize that Reggie is no where to be seen in the studio and I want all my friends to hear the news. "Wait where's Reggie?"

"Uhh...I think he went to hang out with Ray." Luke says.

"I'll be right back." I say. I poof in the house and Ray looks to be just finishing diner. But no sign of Reggie, and unfortunately it's not like I can just ask Ray where he went. I sigh and poof back to the studio. I'll just have to tell him the news later. "He wasn't there so I'll just have to tell him later, so good news or bad news?" I ask.

"Good news." Julie says.

"Alright, Willie kissed me." I say.

"Ohmygosh that's great!" Julie says giving me a hug. It's so weird she can do that now, are we ever gonna figure out what that means?

"Yeah but then he immediately poofed away so I don't know what that means and I'm kinda freaking out because it all happened so fast and I didn't get the chance to tell him that I like him like a lot and-"

"Well one things for sure, he likes you." Luke says. "You should find him and go talk to him."

"Really?" I ask.

They both smile and nod. "Wait, what's the bad news?" Julie asks.

"Caleb somehow knows the jolts didn't destroy us." I say. "Willie says he's planning something."

"Well screw Caleb." Luke says. "If he even gets close to any of us we'll make him regret it."

"How?!" I ask. "He's a musician ghost who almost killed us Luke, what are we gonna do?"

"I don't know honestly but I'm not gonna waste time worrying about it." Luke says. "And you shouldn't either, go look for Willie and tell him how you feel."

"Alright." I sigh and poof out of the studio.

Julie's POV

I'm so happy for Alex. He likes Willie, and Willie likes him. I wish it were that simple for me. I have a crush on a ghost who technically is like forty years old now that I think about it but he's still seventeen. It's too weird to think about honestly. And then there's Nick, I thought I was over him but what if I'm not?

Just then Carlos walks into the studio. "Dad says dinners ready." He says.

"I'll be there in a sec." I say.

"Hey um Julie, we never got to talk after you played the Orpheum last night." Carlos says.

"Oh." I say. "Well what was it?"

He hands me a piece of paper but it's not any paper. It's from the Sunset Curve CD that has a photo of Luke, Alex, Reggie, and Carrie's dad.

"I know." Carlos says. "How could you befriend ghosts and not tell me?"

"Don't be ridiculous. There's no such thing as ghosts Carlos." I say.

"Then how do you explain your holograms being in a band in 1995?" He asked. "And these three died from a bad hotdog." He says pointing to Luke Alex and Reggie. "So, are they in here now? Can I meet them? Which is the one who did that thing with the blinds and the blanket? I wanna be that one's best friend."

I look at Luke do an answer but he just looks at me and shrugs. "Don't look at me, he can't see me." He says.

"Let's talk about this after dinner." I say. "And not a word of this to anyone."

"So you admit it, you're in a ghost band!"

"Yes! Alright fine." I sigh. "We'll talk later okay?"

"Alright, don't ghost me." Carlos smiles and I groan.

"I'll see you later Luke." I say and me and Carlos head inside for diner.

Luke's POV

Julie left with her brother to eat diner so I decide to see what Reggie's up to. I don't know where he is though. First I look at the beach. He's always there, and it's always been the first to place I look for him even back when we were alive. He always liked it there. Ironically he also would make up any excuse to get away from it because he loved on the beach and he wanted to get away from the shouting. 

Sure enough, there he was walking along the shore. I run up to him and he looks up from the sand and smiles. "Hey." He smiles.

"Hey." I say. "So you totally missed the big news. Willie kissed Alex." I inform him.

"Wait really?" Reggie says. "That's great! "

I smile. "He's looking for Willie right now. Willie poofed away right after the kiss so he didn't get a chance to tell him how he felt about the kiss. Anyways do you wanna hang out?"

"Yeah!" He says. "What do you wanna do? Do you wanna watch people take pictures of food, Alex doesn't get it but it's so fun. They never look away from their phones and you can just move their plate around so they can't grab it, it's so fun."

Only Reggie could make something like watching people take pictures of food sound fun. Hell he makes everything fun. I smile and say "Sounds like fun. Let's do it."

We went to a small cafe and Reggie showed me how people took pictures of their food and were so distracted you could move their plate around without them even noticing. To be completely honest it was a little boring but what made it not boring was seeing how happy it made Reggie. He's having fun, so I'm having fun too.

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you!" I say suddenly remembering something else I know will make him really happy. "Me and Julie were in the studio earlier and Carlos came out and confronted her about us being ghosts. And do you wanna know what he said?"

"What?" He asks finally letting the lifer have their plate. They looked confused as the pulled it closer to them and took a bite from their cinnamon roll.

"He said he wanted to be best friends with the ghost that did the trick with the blinds and blanket." His face lit up when I said that.

"That was me!" He smiles.

"You got yourself another lifer friend." I say.

"Yeah...a lifer." He says suddenly his excitement was gone.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm great." He smiles. "I uh, can't wait to tell Carlos everything about the 90s." He says. "I gotta go." He says and he poofs away. I thought he was acting a little weird but it's Reggie, I'm sure he's fine. Besides, now he gets to hang out with Carlos, even if it is just one sided. The lifer got up and left to so now I'm sitting at the table all alone.

Just then that Nick kid walks into the cafe and I roll my eyes. Does he really think he can win Julie over by wearing that stupid leatherman jacket and giving her flowers. I could have given her flowers.

Ah who am I kidding? I know she'd be happier with him anyways. I'm a ghost. How could I be with Julie? It would be much easier for her to be with another lifer and for me to be with a ghost.

Just then, Nick sits down right across from me, looking right at me. Not through me, right at me.

"You're Luke right?" He says. "From Julie's band? I met Reggie earlier. It's nice to meet you, I'm Nick."
