Night in the cemetery

The School Cafeteria 12:00...

"You can talk to ghosts!? That is so cool Al!" Heavy exclaimed pounding the table in excitement making Dee's metal lunch box rattle and Lif's milk go flying across the lunch room. Dee elbowed him in the ribs Al laughed a little "yeah I can see and hear ghosts. That is when they want to be seen and heard." Al explained attempting to steady the table as Heavy's bouncing made it jerk up and down "easy Heavy or you'll break the table" Lif smiled a little taking a bite of yogurt. Dee elbowed him again "y-yeah Heavy" he added Heavy shoved him back making his bump into Lif his face went red "sorry this little shit-'' he muttered shoving Heavy, Al sighed watching the two squabble "boys'' they said calmly the two kept shoving each other Dee grabbed Heavy by the throat "boys!" They snapped their fingers twice to get both siblings' attention and the two stopped fighting. Heavy's mood immediately perked back up his smile growing as his excitement grew "So when are you gonna talk to ghosts? Can you show us now? Can you see any ghosts right now?" Heavy asked question after question curiously Al smiled "I can't comune with the dead right here right now Heavy. And yes I can see ghosts right now." Al nodded, Heavy's eyes grew shiny in wonder "really!? Are they all like mangled and gnarly and bloody and scabby and-" Heavy was interrupted by Dee giving him a dirty look "Heavy were eating." he chuckled dryly. Al laughed "yeah and Dee looks like he's gonna vomit." they joked, Lif giggled. "And to answer your question Heavy, no they aren't like zombies. They look like normal people just like you or me. If you want a description there is a woman standing right...behind you and Dee she looks a lot like your dad actually. She just has a more...melancholy energy if that makes any sense." Al explained, Heavy tilted his head confused "what's she sad about?" he asked, Al studied behind the siblings a bit like they were really focused. "I can't tell exactly, but she regrets something. Something about not taking enough action...women's suffrage perhaps? She's wearing this bandana like for a religion or something...looks appropriate for that time period." Al really focused thinking about possibilities "woah! Can you really tell all that?" Heavy asked wide eyed looking behind him to see if he could see what Al saw. "Yeah. well one thing is for sure Heavy...she knows you guys." Al explained taking a sip of their ginger ale. Heavy put a hand on his chin taking a bite of his sandwich like he was thinking. Dee crossed his arms and stared off (mostly in Lif's direction) like he always did when he was thinking "hm..you said she looks like dad? Could very well be our paternal grandmother." Dee suggested Al nodded "yeah" they smiled a bit. Heavy went back to bouncing in his seat shaking the table "cool! So when can you talk to ghosts?" he asked excitedly Al smiled wistfully "hmm. All Hallows Eve isn't too far away is it? And that IS when the veil between our world and the spirit world is thinnest. So I guess then" Al explained Halloween was only one day away after all. Heavy's grin grew excitedly as he pounded the table with his fists. Dee sighed and grabbed his wrists as Heavy bounced up and down in his seat flapping his hands practically vibrating with giddyness. Al and Lif giggled at Heavy's pure joy. Dee let himself smile a bit. Al look a sip from theri ginger ale smiling "Fuck yeah Al's gonna talk to some boo's on Halloween!" Heavy cheered without thinking. Al's eyes grew wide as they snarfed, spraying soda from their nose as they laughed hysterically Dee struggled to keep a straight face he finally let himself laugh beginning to snort. Lif laughed wildly, unable to control how hard she was laughing. Dee snorted and Lif lost it laughing so hard she hit her head on the table. Everyone turned around staring at them as they all lost their shit laughing. Heavy laughed "sorry Al" he chuckled Al rubbed their sore nose "it's ok Heavy" they smiled.
