I woke up the next morning to a soft voice humming a soft tune behind me. I rolled over to see John... At least I think it was John.. instead of the bruises and cuts that covered him before, he was clean and looked completely solid. I rubbed my eyes. He noticed I was awake.

"G-good m-morning," he stuttered, very unlike John..

"John?" I asked after a moment of looking him over, he nodded.

"Angie found a way for me to become human... I needed a living human soul so Maria helped me find someone who was committing, you know... And as they died I took their soul so now they're a ghost and yah.. I am alive," he told me softly. I grinned and pulled him into a very warm hug. He felt very much alive and I was so happy, it was Tuesday but I was already ahead in my classes... I took the day off.

I dragged John outside and told him that I needed to show him around the city, he laughed and agreed.

John marveled at how much the world had changed since he had lived, I took him to a coffee shop and got him a latte while I had a black coffee.

We went through store after store until the sun went down.

Maria was waiting for us when we got home, she was sitting on the couch next to Eliza.

Peter and James were sitting on the stairs talking in low voices.

Peggy and Angelica were enjoying the fading afternoon sun.

Martha was watching Philip and three new ghosts had joined the fray, the two from the park and a petit girl who looked very pretty, a slender figure with large round glasses.

John waved to them and turned back to me, holding out his hand. I took it and nuzzled up to his shoulder.

John lead me to the new ghosts.

"This is Marquis de Lafayette, Hercules Mulligan, and Marie Antoinette. Marie just became a ghost today and Laf and Herc are old time friends," he told me happily. I smiled and waved at them, Laf smiled and waved back.

After John talked with them for a bit he lead me back upstairs to my room and dragged me to the bed. Pulling me down and peppering my face with kisses. Soon enough he stopped and lay down, pulling me close into his side to snuggle, I was the luckiest person on Earth.
