All Lexi could do was stare at her father, who still had his arms wrapped around his brother. Her mind couldn't comprehend how the scene before her was happening. Not even twenty-four hours ago, Reggie, Alex, and Luke could poof in and out of rooms and haunt whoever they pleased. And now they ran into her front door and could be seen without even the sound of music playing. It just didn't make any sense to her, and yet it was happening right in front of her very eyes. Lexi desperately wanted to believe that they were alive again but it seemed too good to be true. And by the look on the boys' faces, they thought the exact same thing.

Alex looked at his distraught niece over Andy's shoulder. His eyes were as wide as they could go as a million thoughts ran through his head. He was having a hard time believing his brother could see him again, especially after Alex watched over him so many times without Andy knowing. The Mercer boy felt as though he was in a very vivid dream and he was about to wake up at any moment. The only thing that let him know that what was happening was real was the feeling of his brother's arms around him. After being a ghost for so long, Alex gave up hope of feeling Andy's warm embrace. But as soon as the shock wore off, tears began to form in the blonde boy's eyes as he wrapped his arms around his twin.

Rachel walked past her shocked daughter and emotional husband to stand in front of Luke and Reggie. Without thinking twice, the redheaded woman reached out and took their hands into her own. Tears instantly filled her eyes as her grip around her hands tightened. Despite knowing what was happening in front of her was real, Rachel couldn't believe it. She hadn't seen her friends in twenty-five years...not since they were supposed to play at the Orpheum for the first time. And now, after watching their ghosts perform with her daughter, she was able to see them again. Even though they still looked like they did the last time she saw them, Rachel was able to have her best friends back in her life.

"They can see us now?" Luke muttered under his breath, breaking the silence that surrounded them for what felt like an eternity before a large grin appeared on his face, "this is so awesome!"

"Is this really happening?" Reggie questioned while keeping his eyes glued to Rachel until he finally looked past her to stare at the wide-eyed Lexi.

The Daniels girl's attention stayed on her father for another moment before her eyes met the raven-haired boy's. The two of them just stared at each other until Lexi found the courage to approach him. She seemed to ignore the stares she was receiving as she stood in front of the bassist. The redheaded girl hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on Reggie's chest. Shock coursed through her veins as she slowly looked up to meet his eyes. "You have a heartbeat. How is that possible? How are you alive?"
