TW: fake blood/fake death.

"Are you sure this will work?" I ask Luke.

"Of course this will work, if it doesn't then Alex doesn't have a soul." He puts down more fake blood, as I lay down on the floor.

"Besides, if he's smart enough, he'll know this is fake in an instant." Reggie says to me.

"Don't you think you're going a little over board with the blood?"

"Maybe, but thats how you sell the show." He quickly puts the blood away and poofs out of the studio, with Reggie following a few seconds later. I get ready to give my best friend- Alex - the shock of his life, by laying down, slowing down my breathing as much as I can, and closing my eyes.

"You just need to find a little inspiration when it comes to writing." I hear Julie say from outside the studio.

"I know, I just don't know what kind of inspiration to look for." Alex pulls the door open, and instantly shrieks. It takes everything in me, to not smile or laugh.

I feel him kneel down next to me and grab my head, I flip around, wanting him to believe that I'm actually passed out, or worse.

I hear him start to sob, and scream at Julie to call 911.

Unfortunately, Julie isn't the beat liar, so when Alex does scream at her, she ends up laughing loudly.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" He screams again.

Julie just continues to laugh as Alex holds me close. Because of Julie's very funny laugh, I end up chuckling myself. Alex makes himself completely frozen when he realized that I'm laughing too.

I open my eyes and hug him tight, telling him that everything is okay, and that I'm also okay and not dead.

Luke and Reggie poof into the studio, to see the aftermath of their prank. As soon as they see the position that Alex and I am in, they start laughing as well.

"We definitely got him." Reggie and Luke high five, as they look on to the scene in front of them.

"If Julie hadn't laughed, I would've been able to keep a straight face. We would've completely convinced him." I say, wiping off the blood on my head.

"What are you guys doing? I could've had a heart attack from that. That was just cruel." Alex gets up and storms out, leaving us laughing slightly, but also feeling guilty.

"I'll go talk to him."

It took a little while to find out where Alex was, but when I found him, it seemed so obvious that he would be in his parents house - in his old room.

"Hey there." I say, leaning on the door frame.

"I really need alone time, right now." He mumbles.

"Now, we both know that isn't a good idea."

"I can't believe you would do that to me, it wasn't cool."

"When Luke asked me to do it, I only said yes because I thought you would realize pretty quick that, that couldn't happen to me. Sorry to break it to you, but ghosts can't bleed."

He looks at me with a shocked face, and that's when I realized that he actually forgot that we were ghosts. I guess it can be hard to remember sometimes, but I mean, really?

"I can't believe you forgot that we were ghosts!" I shout at him.

"You're not allowed to blame me, you forgot that people can't see us the other day."

"We aren't getting into that right now." I say with a pout. Alex smiles and tackles me onto his old bed. We stay there, play-fighting for a little while. Before we come up with a plan to scare the other boys as revenge.
