chapter thirteen | what's a jar jar?
————————————————————————after caleb left the table, the four ghosts all split up to explore the place. alex went off somewhere with willie, and luke and reggie went to talk to people, leaving juniper alone.
she just walked around the club, people watching. it was one of her favourite things to do, and one of the things she was good at- not being noticed.
she figured that caleb must have died in the 1920's, as most of the people were dressed in that kind of fashion. she wasn't complaining though, she got to look at lots of pretty dresses, admiring them all.
as she was walking back to the table, she saw alex and willie immersed in a conversation, sat in their own little bubble. she looked to her right and saw that luke had seen the same thing, and they nodded at eachother and moved towards alex once willie got up and left.
"ooh, you got a crush on willie." luke said when he and juniper arrived at the table at the same time. luke on one side of alex and juniper on the other.
"how are you just figuring that out?" juniper said to luke, and he just shrugged his shoulders.
"what? no. no, man, we're just..."
"in love?" juniper interrupted alex, a teasing grin on her face.
"alex, we're happy for you." luke said, and then looked up when he noticed reggie walk over to the table.
"you guys are not gonna believe this, but someone just told me they added a character named jar jar. what's a jar jar?!" reggie exclaimed.
"i take it you lot are enjoying yourselves?" caleb said as he walked up to the table.
the boys and juniper all stood up, juniper brushing off imaginary dust off her trousers.
"yeah, i mean, you'd have to be insane to have a bad time here." luke said, and caleb smiled at them.
"well, entertainment is our specialty. so now, i understand there's something i can help you with." caleb said, and reggie spoke up.
"yeah, we hope so. there's an old buddy of ours who ripped us off big time, and we wanna make things right." reggie said, and luke agreed.
"yeah, we wanna look at him in the eyes and make him admit what he did to us." luke said, and junie pointed over at him.
"yeah, so if you could make us visible, that would be perfect." alex said.
caleb chuckled at them. "well sure, i could do that. but we're at a party! why focus on those who have wronged us when we're among friends? now, i understand that the four of you are talented musicians. i doubt... your dream is to settle a score. no, your dreams are bigger than that! you're like me, born to perform your music in front of sold-out crowds." he said, then clicked his fingers as a waiter appeared with a chair for him. "please, sit."
