"I don't know about this," Reggie sighed as he, Cas, Alex and Luke looked over the scene below them.

"Well, if you get scared, you... you can always hide behind me," Alex replied. "I'll be hiding behind Luke," He added as he hid behind the brunette.

"You guys need to grow up, okay? We're gonna get back at Bobby. He needs to pay for what he did to us," Luke said but Cas just softly looked down. "Cas, he stole 'All I Want'. He knew how much that song meant to you," Luke exclaimed at the younger girl. "You're just gonna let him get away with that?" He asked.

"No. I'm just worried we won't be back in time for our gig at Julie's school. That's all," She replied with a sad and worried look just as Willie returned.

"We're all good," Willie said.

"Oh, uh, cool. Hey, just so you know, we have, like, an hour, because we got a gig with Julie," Alex explained and Cas smiled softly at her brother, glad he cares about her.

"Oh yeah. No worries. Let's go," Willie smiled and started walking away and Cas and the guys quickly followed. "Normally, I'd have my deck, and I'd backboard this heavy 20 set, but tonight... we have company. Hope you guys are ready for this." Willie finished as he slides off the stair railing. When he reached the ground, he mentioned for them to follow.

"Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?" Alex asked.

"I think we're a little overdressed," Luke replied.

"Hmm," Reggie agreed while Cas softly rolled her eyes. They walked down the grand staircase and Cas kept her eyes on the floor, looking out for anything weird or suspicious. When they stood still at the bottom a man and a woman walked right through them.

"Whoa! I thought these people were all going to be ghosts," Reggie said.

"Yeah, Willie, what exactly is this place?" Cas asked as the uneasy feeling got larger.

"These are all lifers," Willie started.

"Oh, uh, lifers are actually..." Alex started.

"Alive people. I was listening." Reggie said proudly.

"But this is a very exclusive crowd. Everybody here had, uh, paid a lot to get a sneak peek at the afterlife." Willie said which didn't make Cas's feeling any better.

"I always knew rich people did weird stuff like this," Reggie said.

"I mean, it's not like you're wrong," Cas added just as a man in a very white suit came up to them.

"Lady and Gentlemen, I have a table for you," The man said in a vague accent. "Right this way." He finished and started walking away. They quickly followed him to a small round table that had five chairs but with an opening facing the stage and had a card that said 'Reserved-Mr. William- Party of Five'. They sat down with Willie and Reggie at the ends, Alex next to Willie, Luke next to Reggie and Cas sitting in the middle next to Alex and Luke.

"Okay. So who's gonna make us visible so we can confront our old bandmate?" Luke asked Willie.

"Oh no, no. None of these lifers have the power to do that," Willie explained, but then Cas started to hear music play. "Oh, but here comes the ghost who does." He smiled and Cas slightly creased her eyebrows in confusion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, back from the dead by popular demand, please welcome Caleb Covington!" A voice announced and everyone started clapping and cheering. Cas softly clapped but jumped a small bit when a man that she guessed as Caleb appeared floating in the air.
