Apparently Luke and Reggie broke into Julie's dream box, and stole a song that Julie wrote for Flynn.

So I sat at the piano, playing it whenever we needed a chord as we went over Julie's song.

"Guess that means I'm buying lunch that day. I know all your secrets. You know all my deep dish. Guess that means that some things..." Luke sang until Reggie stopped him.

"Wait, so. When she says, "deep dish," is she talking about, like, pizza, or..."

Alex then appeared ontop of the piano smiling.

"Oh! Oh, hey, man. Where you been?" Reggie asked.

"Um, kind of everywhere." I rose a brow.

"Yeah. No, I met a new ghost friend." He replied.

"For real?" Reggie asked looking at him in amazement.

"Yeah, he answered a ton of questions." Alex said.

"Yeah? Like whether Julie was gonna join the band or not?" Luke asked.

"Yeah... Well... we didn't. We didn't really get to that, I think I know why we're here." Alex said.

"OK?"

"All ghosts have, like, unfinished business. So, we need to do our unfinished business so that we can cross over." Alex explained.

"Why would we do that?" Asked Luke.

"I'm just saying, this is like our second chance. Besides we have Kaia." I blushed while mentally kicking myself.

"All we need to do is get Julie to play with us." Luke told him.

"Yeah. Not only can that girl sing, she can write too." Reggie said.

"Luke, Kaia, and I made a killer melody to one of her lyrics." Reggie told Alex.

Luke handed Alex the book, as the blonde looked at it.

"Without your drummer. Cool."

"Drumming is so '90s. OK? We're just gonna... stomp our feet now." Luke told him.

"Well, you know what else is so '90s? Being rude. All right? Get woke. These are sensitive times." He then slammed the journal into Luke's chest.

"Ah, Alex." Luke said hurt.

"Learned that from my ghost friend." Alex told Reggie.

"Woke." Reggie chuckled.

"Yeah."

"That's... that's cool word."

"Yeah." Alex said.

"What does it mean?" Reggie asked him.
