CHAPTER THIRTY: The Reunion

March 12, 2006

Sunday

Ten years have passed since the incident that almost resorted to my death. And I'm 27 years old now, I've graduated college with a degree in psychology at UC Berkeley and my Aunt Elsa wouldn't be proud of me. I thank her for her non-stop support, even though I'm having a lot of trouble figuring how life works in the past. Now that I've graduated, I started seeing someone. Her name is Helena and we're living together in Davis, California. Speaking of my newly found ability, I can still talk to the dead but now with a greater control that I can summon them and talk to them and sometimes they show images and the meaning behind them. I don't want this ability, but my career exploded when I started embracing it. I was always featured in Television, I had my own TV show that ran for almost five long years but ended because the producers don't have enough funds to support the show any longer. I was known in TV as the California Medium because that's the name of my show and also because of the show, my rate as a medium increased. Since I've had a lot of things that I needed to do, I'm planning to stop working as a medium and go to the United Kingdom for a fresh start, and also I'm planning to take my graduate school degree in industrial and organizational behavior. I'm still choosing schools so I'm not sure where I'm headed yet, but I'm definitely headed there. Part of the reasons why I wanted to go there is–I wanted to find a long lost friend. A friend I haven't seen in a long time, a friend that reminds me of the United Kingdom whenever he talks because of his funny but posh British accent. His name is Hunter Smith, and I believe he's still making records and collaborations with other Artist. I recently bought his album because that's the only thing that reminds me of him. I stalked his Friendster and Facebook account, that's why I know that he's still alive and I believe he's already 36 by now if the date of birth is correct and I've seen that he got married. So I told Helena that I'm going to book a flight to UK so I can meet a friend that I've lost for a long time, so I did book a flight to UK and planned to go to Hunter's record signing event.

It was in the afternoon when I went to the store where Hunter is going to have a contract signing and a mini-concert where he's going to play his peace. I wish I went there earlier, because I'm the last in line. I waited for everyone so I can have my turn on the contract signing. And there I saw Hunter who's about to play his musical score called Score of the Night. This is one of his recent composition on the CD that I have and wanted him to sign. After the event, it's finally time for the contract signing. And when I got my turn, I immediately asked him. "Long time no see, old friend!" I said. "And you are?" Hunter asked.

"Don't you remember me? It's me, Zack. Along with Toby and Sam? Remember?"

"I haven't heard that name in a very long time, is that really you?"

"The one and only!"

"Let's meet on the backstage, I'll have my escorts guide you." Hunter said as he signed my CD. I was escorted to the back stage and after the event, Hunter immediately approached me with a handshake. "It's been a while, Zack!" Hunter said, "How long has it been? Ten years?"

"I can't believe it's been that long!" I replied. "I heard that you're still doing great being a well-known musician."

"Well your one to talk, your show is so famous that it landed a spot on BBC and I love watching you on action. Is communing with the dead always been your thing?"

"No, funny you said that. After we're back to our own bodies, I'm having trouble sleeping because the dead are trying to communicate with me."

"You too?"

"Why?"

"After that incident, I'm also having trouble sleeping."

"You can talk to the dead, too?"

"No, but I can see what's about to happen in my dreams. And sometimes when I touch people, I do see their future. Like you're going to get married and have two boys which their names are not identified."

"You can see my future?"

"Like a clock work, yes, I can see it like I'm watching a television."

"Can you control it now?"

"Yeah, I reached a medium right away so she can teach me everything I need to know about clairvoyance."

"I see."

"You know, Zack. You always have the coolest ability among us all."

"Why did you say that?"

"At first when we were there, you were given the coolest power ever. The power to control fire and even stop time at will. Now in the real world, you can communicate with the dead, while I can only see the future."

"There's no need for you to be envious about it, we're dealing with different hardships after all."

"Well, you're right." Then I heard Sam and Toby say something. "By the way, Sam and Toby just wants to tell you that they love your musical score album and your newest single Score of the Night."

"Thank you! Let's exchange emails and see what's going to happen next."

"Sure." I gave him my email and he gave me his and we went on our separate ways.
