--Toast’s POV--

I stand in shock, watching. After a few moments, Casket pulls apart from her before stumbling to the ground. Ghost must have gained control during the kiss. Then I hear a scream. I look over at Maya, whose hands are against her head.

“Maya!” I exclaim, running over to her as she slides to the ground, curling into a ball. I look back over at Ghost who is staring, his expression confused and shocked.

“What happened!?” I groan and look back at Maya, who has calmed down and passed out.

“Sir; something happened to Maya,” I tell Ghost, picking her up and carrying her into her hotel room. Setting her down on the bed, I hear Ghost walk in too.

“What happened to her?” I shrug, taking a step back from her.

“Sir, I just walked out and…and Casket was… was kissing her,” I tell Ghost, looking over at him.

“Yeah… I know; I regained control in the middle of it.” Ghost says and I sigh.

“Do you know why Casket was… was kissing her, sir?” Ghost stands there a second before he quickly turns to me.

“I-I know!” He exclaims and I smile.

“When Casket had captured me, he told me something… something interesting about Maya,” Ghost says, taking a seat on the edge of Maya’s bed. I lean against the wall to listen.

“He told me that a long time ago, Maya ended up running into Casket during some Ghost hunt. But… she seemed more interested in him than scared. Casket took this as a chance and adapted her to… to what he did,” Ghost told me, looking down at Maya. For a second, I see a look in Ghost’s eye that he’s worried about her.

“But when you found Casket and… and I took control again… Maya lost all memory of that and went on being a Ghost Hunter.”

“So I’m just going to guess, sir,” I start to say and Ghost looks up at me.

“The only way Casket could get… his version of her back was to kiss her?” I guess and Ghost nods.

“I only just realized this but… I’m still able to see what happens while Casket is in control,” Ghost says and I look shocked at him.

“Really sir?” Ghost nods.

“Yeah… interesting, right?” I nod, chuckling a bit. Then there is an awkward silence.

“Oh yeah, sir… I called Aimee who is back at HQ and she says things are all ready to go! So when we are ready, we can travel back to the HQ!” I tell Ghost and a huge smile appears on his face.

“Awesome!” Then his smile fades as he looks back down at Maya.

“What about Maya?” Ghost asks and I realize we never told him.

“Don’t worry sir,” I say, walking over and setting a hand on Ghost’s shoulder.

“Maya is a part of PIE now,” I tell Ghost and the big smile comes back. Then, surprisingly, Ghost jumps up and hugs me.

“This is amazing, Toast!” Ghost says and I smile, hugging back.

“Yes it is, sir; Ready to go back to HQ?” I ask when we break. Ghost nods as he picks up Maya. Ghost follows me outside to the car. Ghost lays Maya down in the back seat before taking the drivers seat.

“You’ve done so much Toast. Let me drive,” Ghost says and I smile, nodding. I take the passenger seat and Ghost starts to the car and I lean back in the seat, needing sleep.

“See you at HQ Toast,” I hear Ghost tell me and I chuckle before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
