Home alone - a BBC Ghosts fan fiction

Can you remember?

Alright, Mary. You were there when Annie moved on, what happened and HOW did it happen?" The captains eyes were focused on Mary, who was lost in thought, the other ghosts stood behind him in anticipation.

Mary had a blank look on her face "Why be you lookings at me like that?" She said, finally breaking out from her thoughts.

Captain sighed "Annie. How did she move on?"

"You mean get sucked off?" Mary inquired.

"Uh, yes." The Captain replied awkwardly.

Mary trailed off back into thought for a moment then shook her head "I can't remembers." She shrugged.

The rest of the ghosts groaned in annoyance. "How can you not remember? It seems like a pretty important moment." Thomas complained.

Pat looked up at Thomas "weren't you there, Tom?" He asked

"No, I wasn't. Mary and Annie were the only ones there when it happened." He replied.

"Thomas right." Robin confirmed. "All me saw was bright light coming from kitchen, then BOOM Annie gone." Robin confirmed.

"Maybe we could do some exercises to remember." Julian suggested "I call this the Romanian remembering roll." Julian began to pull up his blazer, revealing more of his blue shirt.

Pat placed a hand over kitty's eyes "hey! I want to see!" She tried peering through the gaps in Pat's fingers, but she couldn't see anything.

"That's quite enough!" Fanny yelled, appalled. Julian sighed, but put his blazer back on.

"I was just trying to lighten the mood, help Mary remember." He huffed

"There are more polite ways of doing it." Fanny put her hands on her hips, a disgusted look on her face.

"this is getting us nowhere." The Captain interrupted.

"What about we go back to the kitchen, that's where it happened right? Maybe it will refresh Mary's memory." Pat looked around at the other ghosts for approval.

"Yes, that just might work." The Captain nodded "follow me everyone." The Captain lead all the other ghosts into the kitchen

"Oh, they guys!" The head of Humphrey yelled from atop one of the counters "You wouldn't happen to have seen my body anywhere have you?" He aksed, but nobody responded. Humphrey sighed.

"Ringing any bells Mary?" Pat asked, optimistic. Mary shook her head. "Can you not remember a single memory with Annie in here?"

"Wells I do remember one." Mary admitted. "Me and Annie were makings bread."

"How could you be making bread, you're dead!" Thomas said, apparently still in the mindset of writing a poem.

"There was a fire cookings the bread and some flour on the floors." Mary pointed down at the floor where flour must have previously been.

"But where did you get the flour from?" Cap asked.

"It was already there when we finds it." Mary shrugged.

The other ghosts looked around, confused. "But nobody could have taken any flour out."  They scratch their heads in confusion.

"Oh I remember!" The head yelled from the back of the room. The other ghosts turned their heads in his direction.

"Humphrey! Of course!" Captain exclaimed excitedly "What happened?"
