juniper was a dreamer - but never a believer. she had dreams, but never believed they would come true.
just like she never believed in the supernatural. if something in the world didn't have a logical explanation, then she didn't believe in it.

"look, don't worry guys. willie said he'd get us on that marquee." alex said as the four ghosts were walking by the orpheum.
"this is gonna work, right?" reggie said, his hands laced with juniper's.
"it has to." luke said, and junie nodded. it had to work.
just as luke spoke, the four of them got jolted, all of them groaning in pain.
"hey, you guys okay?" willie asked from behind them, and they all turned around to face him, juniper leaning into reggie, rubbing her chest from the jolt.
"yeah, it's nothing we haven't felt before." alex said, the four of them walking over to willie. "how'd it go?"
"well, when that opening band wakes up, they're gonna find their bus 200 miles outside of vegas! with no chance of getting back in time!" willie spoke, showing the ghosts the tour jacket that he took from the opening band 'downslide'.
"and that means there's probably a promoter upstairs right about now freaking out." luke said, and willie disagreed.
"nah, this is hollywood, man. i'm sure he's being very professional."
alex stepped forward, and junie dragged luke and reggie away from the pair.
"stop looking, let them have a moment," junie said to luke, hitting him on the arm.
"i can't help it, they're just too cute." luke said, peeking over at them once more.
"i know right!" reggie agreed, and junie just smiled fondly at the two of them, giving in and also looking over at willie and alex.
luke walked over to alex once he noticed that willie had left, and the other two followed.
"alex, you alright, man?" reggie asked him, and alex turned around to face the three of them.
"yeah, yeah i'm ok."
"well, thanks to willie, panic! at the disco needs an opening band." junie spoke, and alex smiled
"then i guess someone up there needs to know that we're available."

"stop saying the bus drove itself!"
junie looked over at the director with wide eyes.
"yeah, willie was right. this guy is a total pro." reggie whispered, and junie giggled.
"okay, let's make the magic happen. alex, no dancing." luke said, but alex ignored him and danced his way over to the desk that the woman was sat on, knocking over her pen pot.
