Months after the incident, Xavier was back to normal and lived happily with his dad once again. Even though he still wanted to see his mom and friend again, he was done thinking that he was a monster and had gone back to being his old self, just the way Bristol liked it. Bristol knew Xavier still missed Allie and Shyla, but he was happy to see that his old positive personality had returned. 

While this was happening, Roxie was now working full-time at the cafe as a waitress, and Jacob had finally been accepted into a good college. Both of their lives seemed to be going great as well, and Bristol was glad to know that Allie's death hadn't changed them too much.

One night, Xavier was up late, thinking he had heard a voice. He got out of bed and looked around, but didn't see anyone. Deciding it might've just been a dream, Xavier went back to bed, when he heard the voice again.

"Go back to bed, honey. It's late."

"M-Mom...?" Xavier asked the voice.

"I'm here, too, Xavier." another voice added.

"Shyla? What's going on?"

The ghosts of Allie and Shyla appeared in front of Xavier, surprising him.

"Mom! Shyla!" Xavier was overjoyed, tears running down his face as he kept looking at the ghosts in front of him. "I missed you so much!"

"We missed you too, honey. We didn't want things to happen the way they did...we wanted to stay with you for much longer, but there wasn't anything we could do at the time." Allie explained. "But I've been watching over you and your father, and I'm very proud of how much you both have grown as people. Even when you learned I was gone, you both remained very strong, and I'm very glad you did."

"Thanks Mom."

Xavier looked over at the ghost of Shyla.

"Before I died, all I could think about was you, Xavier. I knew you would miss me a lot, but I also knew that I'd be able to see you again someday." Shyla said quietly. "I love you, Xavier. I really do."

"I love you too, Shyla. I love both of you. I'm glad you came back to see me."

Bristol came in to see Xavier talking to the ghosts of Allie and Shyla. "Xavier? What are you doing up so late? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Dad, but look! Allie and Shyla came back to see me!"

Bristol looked over at Allie's ghost. "Allie...it's really you..."

"Yes, Bristol. I missed you so much. I'm very happy I was able to come back here to see you and Xavier." Allie smiled. "We might not be able to be here for much longer, but we promise to visit whenever we can. Take care of yourselves for us, okay?"

"Of course. We hope to see you again soon, girls." Bristol replied, putting his paw on Xavier's shoulder.

As Allie and Shyla's ghosts faded away, Xavier looked at Bristol. "Hey, Dad?"

"Yes, Xavier?"

"Thanks. For everything."

Xavier stood up and hugged his dad, and Bristol smiled as he hugged him back. "You're welcome, son."

"I love you, Dad."

"I love you too, Xavier."


And that was the end of Allie's story. She started out as a high school student with a love for crime-solving, she evolved and changed greatly after the loss of her sister, found love in her childhood friend, and watched her child grow up from the heavens.

Jacob graduated college with very good grades, and got a full-time job as a police officer. Every summer he comes and visits Bristol and Xavier when he's not busy.

Roxie was promoted to cafe owner and now she owns the very business she started out in. Allie's ghost often visits her as well.

Xavier grew up and went to Pawford University, got a job as a detective working for the police, and follows in his mom's footsteps, solving crime all across the city.

THE END.
