It had been over the course of three months, and for those days that turned into months, the ghost riders, including Daisy, rode horseback in the skies and never stopped. One December day, they did stop. "I thought those skies were endless," said Shaban. "Oh, they are," Dead Skull replied. "Daisy, there is something you would want to see." Daisy responded to riding alongside him. "I believe that there has been an upgrade on your hometown. Take a look." Nodding, Daisy dismounted and entered the snowy town of Batesville. It was just as cold, but due to immortality, the shivers didn't bother her. It was close to Christmas, and she saw it on the window of the saloon. It was a poster of a book that was published; 'The Story Of Daisy Martinsen.' The author's name was January Golden, who was more than a doctor himself. He was inside the saloon, signing the books, if people were interested. Daisy looked to the right, and saw that Sheriff Quinn Target was now Dollar's new owner, with a chorus singing Christmas carols and a decorated tree lit up the town from the center of Batesville. It was snowing, followed by clouds moving in. Daisy walked to the cemetery, where she saw her own tombstone. They had found her body, and buried it here right next to her biological parents. The tombstone read; Born June 12, 1835-Died September 24, 1850. Remained an outlaw, who said she wasn't one. Next, Daisy walked to the orphanage to where she had been raised. It had been taken down, but was upgraded into a small apartment complex. Children played in the snow, snowball fights following. Suddenly, Daisy felt a hand hold onto her own. "Not everyone believes in ghosts like us," said Rafael. "But they might be able to see you, as if you were always on this earth."
"Won't they be surprised?" Daisy replied, her eyes on the children. "Shall we be on our way?" Rafael nodded, laughing and running, while dragging her by the hand. She returned that gesture, returning to their recruits in the sky. Across the endless sky, forever.
