"Okay grandma.. Here are the three things I want.." Her eyebrows raised. "First, I want you to promise that I will see you again," I held up one finger. "Second, I want to know who Michelle really belongs to; me or Spencer?" I held up a second. "Third, I.. I want to get a haircut. I want to get my hair cut short. I want to look pretty, just like you!" 

Instead of holding up three fingers, my arms flailed out into a pair of 'jazz hands'.  Grandma chuckled.  "Your wishes will be granted. But they will be granted tomorrow, because I sure need some rest."
She winked at me, and as I left that room, I didn't think she would have changed me so much that very day.

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!
