"Everything in the u haul? Or the van?" Neil says
"You mean the trailer with the weird magma sun thing on it?" Sal asks
"Yeah"
"Then yeah"
"Good. Hey babe did you get everything for Megan?"
"Yeah I think uh where is Megan again?" Todd asks
"I got her" ash says holding the baby. Neil quickly grabs her back.
"Sorry just....sorry" he says
"Nah I get it. I wouldn't trust me with a new baby either"
"It's just were outside and you're kinda rambunctious and...jeez I'm sorry here just take her"
"Whatever" ash says while grabbing the baby back. "Will this help?" She puts Megan in a baby sling.
"Yeah thanks and again sorry"
"Don't worry about it. You're so stressed over nothing. She'll do fine and so will the rest of us"
"You sure?"
"Yeah"
"Heh thanks ashton"
"Hush jeez don't want everyone finding out yet do you?"
"Oh yeah sorry I forgot you wanna keep that low"
"Yeah...just ash for now ok?"
"Ok"
Ash sighs then looks down at the baby "let's go get a snickers. You want a snickers?"
Megan just coos and claps her hands
"I'll take that as a yes" ash says and walks away with the baby.
"Hey!!" Travis says
"Yes ma'lady?" Sal says
"Wanna see a trick??"
"No"
Travis tries to do a cartwheel but lands smack face first onto the asphalt. Everyone around him just laughs.
"It ain't funny!!!" Travis protested.
"Uh hey guys I'll be back..." I say
"What did you forget this time?" Sal says
"Uh....Sal I kinda need you to come with me..."
"Wait why?"
"You know..."
"Oh...uh yeah we'll be back in a bit"
Both of us start to walk off but not before everyone hears Travis sing the background music to careless whisper in the worst way possible. Me and Sal just ignore it and go up to the 5th floor of the apartments.
"You really think this will work? I mean what if something goes wrong while you do it?" Sal asks
"It has to work. She's been wanting to go places for ages! And if it doesn't work well...she'll just be here like always! Right?..." I say
"Sure...yeah of of course little dude...uh you got the candles right?"
I nod and set them up. All of a sudden my gear boy goes nuts. I press the buttons on it and boom soda appears!
"What are you big boys doing?" She says
"Trying to make your dreams come true" I say
"Uh? How? What dreams?"
"The dreams of you coming along and seeing the world with us remember?" Sal says
"Oh yeah!!! Wait can you really do that?" Soda asks
"Yeah but it may or may not work"
"What happens if it doesn't work?"
"Well..."
"You might not be able to leave this room. You were able to move freely in the apartments right?" I ask
"Yeah. I don't wanna be here forever though I wanna be able to see you all grow and the new thingy. She likes me!" Soda says
"Uh what new thingy?"
"The poofy purple haired thing"
"Oh you mean Megan!"
"Yeah! A Megan! Just like you're a just larry and Sal is a Sal and I'm a soda!"
"Heh yeah just larry. You know my name isn't just larry right?"
"Well What is it Then?"
"It's larry"
"Larry? I thought it was just larry. Just larry have you been lying to me all this time?"
"No I I uh" I start to tear up
"I'm just kidding I know you're not lying just larry you just changed your name! Just like I did before..."
"Uh let's just try to get this over with" Sal says trying to change the subject
"Yeah..." me and soda say at the same time.
"Is that my body?..." soda asks
"Well uh some of it. We couldn't take the whole body so we just took the head." I say
"W why?..."
"To help you"
"Trust me when he told me all about this I laughed then he took me to a graveyard. It wasn't so funny afterwards. And I may or may not have puked in your grave a bit..." Sal says. Soda just laughs.
"Maybe that's why I can do this now" she says and takes off her head. Sal gags a bit.
"I probably just needed some of her hair instead of the whole head..." I say laying some of hair into a boiling pan that we boiled on the old stovetop a bit ago. It's now in the middle of the pentagram. "Ok I need the rat poison. The sugar. Spice. The fluff from the Teddy bear. The piece off the ouija board. And the soda bottle locket. Uh yeah I uh I think that's all of it" I say as Sal hands everything over. I put all of the things into the boiling soda pop except for the locket and stir it together six times.
"So what now?" Sal and soda asks.
I place some of the mixture into a soda bottle locket necklace and chant "gnirb kcab ot efil. rof siht lous sehsiw ot levart. tel reh og. or tel the levarnu. ot ruoy dlrow fo yamsid dna riapsed. ro ot sruo hcihw si llits riafnu. Gnirb reh kcab reh modeerf!! Gnirb reh kcab ot su!!! Gnirb reh kcab ot em!!". All of a sudden there's a huge burst of light. sorta like an explosion I guess.
"You're testing fait larry..." ????
"Huh? Who...who said that? Where's Sal? And soda? What happened??" I ask
"Testing fait. Testing fait. Testing fait. You're testing fait larry. Larry. LARRY!!" ???
"LARRY????" Sal says as I jolt up.
"Sal!!" I hug him as fast as I could crying a bit.
"Is he ok?" Soda asks.
"Yeah he just had a schizophrenia attack or something" Sal says
"Looked like a seizure to me. His eyes were rolled way back"
"Soda?? Wait where?...where are we?" I ask confused about the scenery. Soda giggles
"Outside" she says
"So it...it worked?"
"Yeah we brought you and the locket out here to tell everyone to call an ambulance but you snapped out of it before anyone did." Sal explains.
"Uh...did...did you two have a baby that quickly???" Travis asks
"What oh no this is soda shes Larry's little ghost friend."
"Hi!!" Soda says
"Aw aren't you a little cutie" maple says
"Hey are you that girl that keeps popping up on our baby monitors??" Neil asks
"Dude I though I was on drugs seeing those..." Todd says
"This...this is impossible" Chug says
"Huh? How?" Soda asks
"Ghost...ghost aren't real! They...no!!"
"Chug babe calm down" maple says trying to calm him down. Chug starts sorta having a mini panic attack
"They're not real!! No! It's not fucking real!!" He screams. Megan and soda start crying. Neil ash and Todd then start to try to calm her down. Travis tries to help maple. Sal tries to help calm down soda and what do I do?
"Guys...I forgot to take my medication" I say. Nobody listens.
"Uh oh...here we go again..." I faint. And that's the start of our wonderful vacation. A vacation nobody will every forget.
