The End Gets Better - BBC Ghosts

7. The Party

In 1993 Button house was in for a rocking party. The blue and white balloons were in place. Food laid out on the table as if we were feeding 100 hungry Robins, and tables set out for everyone. 18th of march was an eventful date...

It started off just like every other day. Lady B screaming in the middle of the night waking me and Kitty. I didn't mind it of course; nor did Kitty; she thought it was an owl. 1993 the morning of the 18th of March, there was an MP group in the house. A party. When I was younger, I never really bothered much with such silly things. It's not like my dad ever let me anyway. Grandma was always busy reading newspapers about our prime minister and so on. Always saying how Winston Churchill was such a great man.

This was a Christmas party. I didn't bother with it because I'm Jewish. The day was long and loud. People laughing and glasses clinking every few minutes. Music blazing up the stairs and into my room. After a while, a guy came up with this woman. Must have been his wife or something because he was wearing a ring. I found it strange that she didn't have one on. He was clearly drunk. So was she. He started taking his trousers off and she was pushed back onto the bed. It made me slightly jealous. How come he gets to get action.

When it started to escalate I went out of the room feeling slightly sick. On my bed too. I was a little bit concerned when I headed her scream at the top of her lungs. She ran out as the door flung open. I looked in and saw the man face down on the bed lifeless with only the top half of his suit on and his boots.
"PAT-!" I saw pat on the staircase and he ran up looking at the woman crying on the stairs.
"What's going on? I just heard someone calling 911," He looked into my bedroom and stepped back in shock.
"Is he dead?!"
"I'd assume so.. he must have had a heart attack. Lucky bugger,"
"What? What about this is lucky?!"
"He died having fun!"

His body started to glow as the other ghosts were all stood outside the room. He walked out following the paramedics taking his body. He was confused and clearly scared looking at us all. Robin startled him and he passed out through the wall.
"New guy!" Robin laughed.
Pat started, "This ain't funny, mate. Poor guy.."
I hardly find it sad, Pat," I stated, "he was having an affair!"

Lady B pulled a smug face and left. We all waited for him to wake up. Thomas was next to me. He kept looking down at me and making sure I was okay. Captain was giving him strange looks as if he was not approving of him.

The dead man's eyes flung open as he got up and ran downstairs. We all followed him and he started to panic. "This is al a funny joke-! Haha! You've got the hole gang even the joke shop arrow!" He looked at me and stared at me up and down, "And who are you meant to be? A powepuff girl?"
I looked at him confused. "A power what?"
Captain shrugged at me and Thomas sat at a table observing the scene. I went and sat next to him.

Some ghosts take a lot of adjustment. Julian is my prime example.
