"Hey, you awake yet?"

'Huh' I could of sworn i heard someone say something.

"....., HEY!!! WAKE UP ALREADY!!!"

"AHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed out hearing the loud voice. As I quickly opened my eyes, my body reflectivity sat up facing a young looking boy with black hair, who was wearing casual cloths. Black pants and a bright blue hoodie.

"Hi!" he said smiling at me while backing away a bit. I presume waiting for me to get up, but I was confused...I didn't know where I was.

"Where am i?" I asked getting up and looking around, I couldn't deny that it was a beautiful place where I was. We where in a clearing of fresh green grass with some bright colored flowers, there was also a lake i could see just a few feet away from us and a forest just beyond that, that encircled the flat area that we were in.

"Oh well ur dead. "

"...WHAT!?!?!"

"What do you mean by I'm dead!?" I yelled out.

"Ur in heaven." The boy replied. Hearing those words come out of his mouth I felt dizzy, I sat back down again to catch my breath.

As I was catching my breath the boy sat down beside me, putting his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, its fine, everyone dies eventually." he said.

Noting that he was bad at comforting people, everything started to hit me more. 'I was dead....dead, dead, I wasn't alive anymore'. After taking a couple minutes I quickly calmed myself down and looked back at the boy.

"So...this is heaven?" I asked. "Yes this is" he replied, everything awkward all the while.

"Um...well my names Zak but my friends call me Skeppy, what's your name?" The boy suddenly said, trying to break the silence.

"George...George Davidson" I said trying to be friendly.

"Cool! Hope we can be good friends!" Skeppy yelled in excitement about making a new friend.

After getting to know each other's names we got up off the ground. "So...this is what heaven looks like?" I said, still trying to break the silence.

"Yes, but this place right here isn't heaven its called the gate."

"The gate?" I asked confused and a bit curious. He laughed at my curious question.

"This is were people who have passed away come here or first appear here. I'm also known as The Gate keeper and the person who helps new comers adjust and learn stuff here." Skeppy started explaining.

"New comers usually don't know whats going on so I help them adjust to life here. Like telling them all the different things we do up here and what to expect."

As I was listening to what he was saying, he suddenly started to grow in size. He was originally at least 6 foot but he reached about maybe just a bit over 7ft, then he held his hand out to me. I was a little suspicious of taking his hand but I took it in the end anyways. Smiling [to himself] we were suddenly in the air, flying and going really fast.

"WHAT...THE...HELL!?!" I yelled as loud as I could while trying to hold on to him, but I only got a laugh in return.

"Slow down!!" I yelled again, but either he didn't hear me or he ignored me.

[3rd person pov]

After a couple of minutes skeppy and George landed in another clearing with a beautiful pathway leading somewhere down hill. Giving skeppy a glare, George went over to the path and started walking, seemingly wanting to know what was beyond and down the hill.

Looking out George saw a beautiful shiny pearl white castle, with what seemed to be houses and maybe even shops surrounding it. Oddly enough George really wanted to go look around, forgetting that he was dead and that he was now back in his 20's.

Laughing at George's excitement skeppy spoke out that, that was where the royal family lived and the town that surrounded it.

[Skeppys pov]

'This ones a weird one.' I thought, looking to George who was staring at the town in amazement. 'He's doing better then I expected, usually new comers would be freaking out about them being dead...and how I unexpectedly put my hand out, waiting for them to grab it, then taking off.

I got ear fulls from them and angry glares, but George didnt....(o.k maybe a small glare but still!). I can tell that me and him are gonna be friends in no time.

"Come on!" I said shrinking back to 'normal' size "We can go down and I can show you around if you'd like?"

"That would be amazing!" He responded, now walking down hill towards the town. 'I can tell he's gonna love it here.' Smiling as I followed behind him. 'If he can stay here, that is.'

[George pov]

We walked down the hill and onto flat ground, which just made me get a more closer look at the flowers that grew wildly by the path. "Are they pretty?" I asked skeppy, turning to look at him. Giving me a confused look he looked over to where I was and inspected the flowers closely.

"Hmm....I mean, I guess. This one is a pink flower, that ones an orange one, and that ones a blu-" before he could finish his sentence I blurted out "Blue!" And walked over to the flower to look at it closer.

Being taken a little aback from me blurting out and interrupting him, he stood up from where he was and again walked over to where I was. "You like blue too?" He asked, smiling as I picked the flower from the ground..

"Yeah, I do." I replied holding the flower up to my nose to smell its fragrance. "Cool! Though I like the lighter blue" Pointing to his hoodie.

Nodding in acknowledgment I then put the flower behind my ear, smiling in contentment I started following the trail leading to the town. Taking a moment longer to look at the field of flowers as skeppy followed after me.

We stayed silent for the rest of the walk, just admiring the view of flowers. That was in till we came upon a gate that was guarded by people in shiny armor.
