(A/N: So, one of my friends gave me the idea to do a ghost story about Johnny Cash and June Carter. I visited Nashville two months ago and visited their graves so I thought this was a cool idea. Enjoy!)

1: EXT. CEMETERY DAY

RACHAEL: (leaving roses on the graves)

DAD: Hey, I can't find Helen.

RACHAEL: (calls over to him) Keep looking! (looks at the bench to see two figures smiling at her) (to herself) "I looked up at the bench to see what appeared to be Johnny Cash and June Carter." Whoa...

JOHNNY CASH: Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.

RACHAEL: (stares at them in shock)

JUNE CARTER CASH: Well don't be scared honey! Come on over and sit with us!

RACHAEL: (to herself) "I got up and slowly walked over to the bench as Johnny and June made a place for me." Is this for real?

JOHNNY CASH: You'd better believe it's real!

RACHAEL: You know, it's funny, I thought you guys would look older.

JUNE CARTER CASH: (puts her arm around her) Honey, everyone's young in Heaven!

RACHAEL: Wow! That's incredible!

JOHNNY CASH: (laughs) Thanks for the roses by the way sugar.

RACHAEL: You're welcome Mr. Cash!

JOHNNY CASH: Darlin,' call me Johnny.

RACHAEL: Ok.

JUNE CARTER CASH: Anyway, you need some help finding Helen?

RACHAEL: Yeah, we can't seem to find her.

JUNE CARTER CASH: We'll show you where she is! (both get up and walk her to the grave)

RACHAEL: Hey thanks June! (calls out to her Dad) Hey Dad, I found Helen!

DAD: Oh good, leave a rose, we're gonna go have a smoke.

RACHAEL: Ok. (leaves a rose on her grave)

HELEN CARTER: Thank you honey!

RACHAEL: (eyes widen) Helen?! Hi! It's an honor to meet you!

HELEN CARTER: (shakes her hand) Nice to meet you too sweetie! (looks over her shoulder) Oh, Mama, Nita, come here and meet Rachael

ANITA CARTER: Hi there cutie, you must be Rachael!

MOTHER MAYBELLE CARTER: Hi there honey!

RACHAEL: Wow! It's such an honor to meet all of you! I think I'm gonna cry!

MOTHER MAYBELLE CARTER: Aw, honey, it's alright! No need to cry.

RACHAEL: I have so many questions to ask.

JOHNNY CASH: Go right ahead.

RACHAEL: This is gonna sound stupid but... Can you guys teach me to play the autoharp?

JUNE CARTER CASH: Well honey, we can't physically teach you, but we can guide you. Anytime you wanna learn it just give us a holler and we'll come around.

RACHAEL: It's that easy?

JOHNNY CASH: Yeah, now you don't have to use that ol' Ouija board.

RACHAEL: How did you know?

JOHNNY CASH: Honey, you're our youngest number one fan, we've been watching over you.

RACHAEL: Oh... Right.

JUNE CARTER CASH: (chuckles) Any other questions hon?

RACHAEL: (thinks for a minute) Hey, if I take a selfie with you guys, will I be able to see you?

JUNE CARTER CASH: Yes, but you'll be the only one.

RACHAEL: So... Dad and Jill can't see you right now?

JOHNNY CASH: Nope, Right now it looks like you're just talking to a tree.

RACHAEL: (chuckles) All right, everybody get in here. (they all gather around her) (they all take a selfie)

JOHNNY CASH: Great picture. Any other questions?

RACHAEL: Yes... Will I ever meet Brian May or Steven Tyler?

JOHNNY CASH: (laughs) You know, that's a common misconception. People seem to think that spirits can tell the future, but I hate to let you down honey, I don't know.

RACHAEL: Of course...

HELEN CARTER: What's so special about Brian May anyway? That boy looks like he could use a haircut!

ANITA CARTER: (snickers) Not from you!

HELEN CARTER: What was wrong with my haircuts?

ANITA CARTER: Honey, just ask Lorrie and Carlene!

JUNE CARTER CASH: And Rosey!

HELEN CARTER: Hey, it ain't my fault I only had boys!

JOHNNY CASH: (laughs) Oh by the way, Freddie Mercury says hi.

RACHAEL: (looks at him in shock) Really?!

JOHNNY CASH: Yup, and Michael Jackson and Prince.

RACHAEL: (jaw drops)

JUNE CARTER CASH: John! You're about to give this poor child a heart attack!

RACHAEL: Oh my God!!! (starts sobbing happily)

JUNE CARTER CASH: Don't cry honey! By the way, your Grandpa says he loves you.

RACHAEL: (cries even harder)

JUNE CARTER CASH: (hugs her tightly) It's alright honey!

DAD: (comes over) Hey Rach, you ready to go to the museum?

RACHAEL: Yeah.

DAD: All right, come on. (walks away)

RACHAEL: Hey, you guys wanna come?

JOHNNY CASH: Sure! (they all leave)
