JULIES POV
I could not believe my dad could see them. I was in shock. And than a realization dawned on me. Could they eat? Their ghosts. What if they cant eat.
Julie "Guys What If You Cant Eat?
Luke and the boys look at each other with fright
Luke "Guys what if she is right? We are ghost. How could we even digest food!"
I could tell they were scared.
Julie "Guys its okay! Every thing will be okay!"
I look at Luke with a reassuring smile.
I can tell that the boys feel more at ease.
All up until the dinner we rehearse our back story. Where they are from? How we met? Why we decided to form a band? Any question we could come up with that we thought my dad would ask.
—————-DINNER TIME——————
We walk up to my house. I take a deep breath and look at the guys. I open the door and we walk inside.
Julie "Dad were here!"
Ray "Okay sit at the table! Dinner is almost ready!"
Julie "Okay!"
I lead the guys to the table and have them sit. My dad sits at the very edge and I sit next to him on the left and Luke sits next to me and on the right side of my dad Reggie sits and then next to Reggie Alex sits and Carlos my brother sits next to Alex. (This is the seating arrangement. Hope it makes sense.)

I see Carlos try poking Alex and I give him my death stare to stop and he stops

I see Carlos try poking Alex and I give him my death stare to stop and he stops. I giggle my brother is such a weirdo. Luke looks at me and laughs.
Ray "So I have been wanting to meet you guys for awhile. I wanted to meet the people that brought music back into my daughters life."
I blush and smile
Ray "So where are you guys from?"
Luke "We are from Sweden! We came to surprise Julie!"
Ray "Wow Sweden that sounds like a great place!"
Reggie "Yes Sweden is a pretty wonderful place!"
LUKES POV
I see Julie look down at her plate and clench her jaw. I can tell she is anxious. I can tell she doesn't like lying to her dad. I can see her leg shaking. I put my hand on her leg to calm her down. She looks up at me blushing. I rub my hand up and down her thigh. I can tell she is becoming calmer. She slides her hand under the table and puts her hand on mine. I look up at her startled and smile. She rubs her thumb on my hand. I see Ray look at us for a moment but he does not notice anything. He keeps talking to the boys.
Ray "How did you all meet?"
Alex "We actually know someone that said that they have heard of Julie singing at her school. And they knew we were looking for a knew female singer so they gave us a way to contact Julie and than Luke contacted Julie and she told us what was happening and we offered to play with her for her to get back into school!"
Julie smiled at Alex because he had said everything perfectly.
Ray "Wow well I am very grateful to you guys for bringing my daughter back!" I look at Julie and shes blushing. I smile!
Luke "No need to thank us Julie is a wonderful girl and we could not have asked for a better bandmate!"
Julie smiles
The boys all agree with me.
We were actually able to eat that dinner and let me tell you that it was delicious. We finished all of our dinner!
Ray "Do you guys know were your staying?"
Luke "No not yet! Probably a hotel! We just came to surprise Julie and didn't think that far ahead!"
Ray "Oh no you guys can stay here! We have plenty of space! So you have more privacy you guys can sleep in the garage!"
Reggie "Thank you Ray! We would love too!"
Reggie goes in for a hug and I can tell that Julies dad is shocked but hugs Reggie back. Reggie than steps back.
Reggie "Sorry Im a hugger!"
Ray "haha don't be sorry!"
Julie "Dad were going to head up to my room and than Ill show them the garage!"
Ray " Okay! See you guys later!"
They say goodbye and start heading up to Julies room.

Hope you enjoyed the story. Hope you liked that Juke moment. So the boys were able to eat. What does that mean! Are they becoming more human by the second. Or are they getting new ghost abilities they haven't figured out yet.
