It was almost two in the morning before they kissed goodnight and went into their rooms next to each other. They had big smiles on their faces. They couldn't tell why. They just had that meaningless grin whenever they spent time together. 

They had been very close friends for the past year. They had had very long conversations and laughed a lot. They understood each other very well. Sometimes they sat in silence, ultimate silence. Still, they knew what was passing through their minds or how they were feeling. Very well they could tell what they would do in this or that situation. There are some things that words are incompetent to tell. That
 was what they had in between. Literally.

It was a midsummer's night in Edinburgh. Hot, yet rainy.
They came back to the campus dorms after one of the great nights out they used to have whenever they had the chance. The menu was of wine and monkeynuts as the other nights out. Monkey nuts! The funniest and the best wine mate on earth she would say.

Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld. ***** When Geoff dies, alongside his girlfriend Naomi, they end up sharing an apartment in the Underworld as skeletons. But after a few years, Geoff starts suffering a mid-death crisis. What's the purpose of going through the motions as a skeleton if you can't really live? Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home! Geoff and Naomi hurry to get Bernie only to discover that, due to a clerical error, their cat has been lost. With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
