"MOM!" Megan and Michael cried.

Everyone turned to see Sara was now flat on the floor and was not moving at all.

"What's wrong with her?" Drell asked.

"Hey! Hey!" Jim ran over and knelt by his wife and held her in his arms. "Sara, are you alright, what's the matter, what's wrong?"

"It's the poison!" Ezra yelped.

Thaddeus and Josephine frowned to each other and hugged each other as tears leaked down their faces.

"No..." Jim instantly felt his heart sink in his chest. "No, look, Sara, please, don't do this!"

"Jim..." Sara said before dying from the poison.

Cherry walked over and checked for her aunt's pulse and looked over to the others. "She's dead..." she whispered with her voice slightly strangled, even though this was a sad occasion, the perky goth had a smile on her face and her friends knew that she was truly saddened by this even if she displayed a sign of happiness to show her emotional overcome.

"Why are you smiling?!" Jim glared at her for smiling.

"I'm sad." Cherry said even though she smiled.

A familiar glowing sphere floated towards them all, but mostly towards Sara's body.

"Sara... Sara, I love you..." Jim was very heartbroken.

The others then looked to the glowing sphere as it was floating for the woman who had just died. A friendly ghost appeared to be leading it with him.

"Get away from us, leave us alone!" Jim glared.

"Dad, no, it's alright, it won't hurt us." Megan promised.

"She's right, it's our mother." Josephine smiled.

"Your... Your mother...?" Jim asked her.

"Yes, you see, that ghost sphere is our mother, Elizabeth." Thaddeus said.

"Casper, what're you doing here?" Cherry asked the friendly ghost.

"Kat's mother said I could help you guys..." Casper replied. "I was watching over your little adventure and I thought you could use some help."

"Well, you thought right." Mo smiled.

"Anything to help my friends who aren't scared of me." Casper smiled back.

The ghost sphere of Elizabeth soon entered Sara's body. The others looked curiously as that had happened. There was then a heavenly glow which made everyone look up as Heaven's Light appeared before them. Cherry mimed a cross gesture due to her mother's family being Catholic and she felt it was appropriate. Sara's body started to levitate and suddenly it was brought in a horizontal fashion and the woman smiled as she looked to the others, but mainly to Edward, Josephine, and Thaddeus.

"Elizabeth, is it you?" Edward asked.

"Yes, my love." the woman replied.

"See, we told you." Thaddeus smirked playfully.

"Mm-hmm~" Josephine nodded in agreement.

"The truth has been released," Elizabeth replied, then looked thankfully toward Jim. "He saved me..."

"Yep." Casper nodded.

Jim smiled bashfully.

"Elizabeth..." Edward smiled peacefully.

"Yes, my darling..." Elizabeth floated Sara's body toward him.

"I've waited so long for this moment..." Edward put his arms around Thaddeus and Josephine's shoulders.

"Now at last, all four of us can be together." Elizabeth said before kissing Edward.

Thaddeus and Josephine looked very happy and thrilled, but they started to feel different after their parents kissed for the first time in ages.

"Congratulations, guys," Casper told them. "You're going to go to Heaven!"

It was a beautiful moment, but it felt weird since Sara was technically kissing Edward. Jim chuckled nervously as Michael and Megan cringed, but he got Edward to break out of the kiss.

'That must feel weird to them.' Atticus thought to himself, referring to Michael and Megan and Jim.

"Uh, excuse me, that's my wife." Jim told Edward.

Edward and Elizabeth broke out of their kiss and locked embrace.

Jim looked to the woman. "Sara...?"

Suddenly, a golden glow cast over the woman and she fell limp and dead once more, but luckily Jim caught her before she could hit the floor.

"Jim..." Sara woke up, being herself now.

"Sara," Jim smiled, hugging his wife. "I thought I lost you."

Sara hugged him then. "I thought I lost you too."

"You're back, Sara," Jim broke out with a tearful smile. "You're back..."

'Aw, love.' Mo thought to herself.

"Can you ever forgive me?" Edward asked Jim.

"What's to forgive?" Jim smiled. "You loved her."

"Yeah..." Edward agreed, then held out a rolled up paper tied in a neat red bow. "Here, take this."

"What is it?" Jim asked, accepting it.

"The deed to the house," Edward informed. "It's yours, do with it what you will. Sell it, keep it, do whatever makes you and your family happy," he then stepped back against the heavenly glow as the woman that he was very much in love with stood there and took his hand as they were reunited at last. "And thank you, thank you all. Thaddeus, Josephine, let's go home."

"Yes, Father." Thaddeus and Josephine smiled.

"Goodbye, have a nice afterlife." Mo told them.

"Yes, enjoy it." Atticus agreed.

Thaddeus and Josephine hugged Atticus and Mo for their help, then went to join Edward and Elizabeth to now go into Heaven.

"Say hi to my grandparents for me," Cherry said, a little softly and tenderly. "I miss them very much..."

"Wait for us! Hold on!" Emma's voice called out.

"Wh-What's all this?" Ezra asked once he saw she had a bunch of luggage with her.

"Well, you'll never know what we need." Emma replied.

"What're you talking about?" Ezra replied. "We're going into Heaven! You can't take it with you."

"The hell I can't!" Emma laughed as she gave him a bag, then hugged the living ones goodbye.

Atticus hugged his dead grandparents as he was going to miss them.

"You be good now, you hear?" Ezra said softly.

"I will..." Atticus said as a tear rolled down his left cheek as he hugged the couple one last time.

"And eat something, will ya?!" Emma pinched his cheek like a smothering grandmother. "You're strong and all, but put some meat on those bones! Isn't your mother feedin' you?"

"Yes, she is and I'll be sure to eat plenty of meat." Atticus smiled.

"Thatta boy," Ezra smiled back, then looked to the light. "Oh, come on, let's go, wait for us! Let's go!"

Emma ran with her husband into the heavenly light as she waved to their new friends.

"Bye!" Ezra waved.

"Okay, here we go!" Emma called.

Suddenly the two became spheres and were going up to Heaven's clouds as the ghosts who were wandering the Earth for all eternity were going to beyond the beyond as well.


As the ghosts were going back to their afterlife as they deserved it, Cherry was wandering around the graveyard and found one grave that stood out the most, she took out a brush and brushed away the dust and residue and saw a marked grave. "'Here Lies Madame Felicity Forte- A Real Fallen Angel'... Felicity Forte..." she then muttered to herself. She then realized that this was Maestro Forte's mother and she decided to patch up the grave a little and laid flowers in respect for the long dead woman and took out a jewelry box that Forte gave her for Christmas and put it against the grave in a sign of respect as well.

"Did you learn your lesson here?" Forte's voice asked.

Cherry blinked and she slowly turned to the court composer. "I... I guess so... Um... Is this why you didn't want to come to this house?"

"My mother was a close friend of Elizabeth's," Forte knelt down next to her. "My mother died in this house... She died when I was around your age and I told her I was going to be working in France for Master Adam's father... She then told me that Vincent Forte was not my father... We told each other we loved each other and we would be happy together again soon... I was given a letter the next Christmas which was my first Christmas without my family."

"I-I'm sorry, Forte, I had no idea..." Cherry dipped her head to avoid his eyes.

"It's okay, my past is sometimes not the best thing I like to mention." Forte said.

"I'm sorry..." Cherry said.

"That's alright, I'll take you home..." Forte replied.

Cherry stood up and walked off with him as things were winding down nicely. Jim, Sara, Michael, and Megan were finally able to take their family vacation and they brought the singing busts and Madame Leota with them to become apart of their family.


Twenty Years Later...

Cherry was shown as a very beautiful, youthful adult woman as she had her daughter on her lap with her extended stomach with Akito, Estelle, and Vincent sitting by her feet as she sat in a higher chair. "And that was how Forte and I found and discovered this house before we moved into it." she then concluded, revealing that this was all a story.

"Ooh." The kids said, interested.

"I found it so romantic that Edward and Elizabeth got back together along with Thaddeus and Josephine." Estelle sighed.

"I still can't believe that Emma and Ezra were our long-lost great-grandparents..." Vincent said.

"I know, what're the odds?" Akito had to agree.

"Did you learn your lesson, Maman?" Felicity asked.

"Yes, Maman learned her lesson..." Cherry sighed to that.

"So, what about Dad's fear of thunderstorms, did he get over it?" Akito asked.

"In the mansion, yes, but not entirely he got over his fear while he was friends a goat and a wolf," Cherry said. "Or at least that's what he told me after getting back from his training with Goku."

"You did not go with him?" Felicity asked.

"Not really..." Cherry replied. "Besides, Drell wanted to have Atticus and we all know how much Drell favors Atticus over me."

"True, true." The kids nodded.

"Now if you want to know what happened, you'll have to ask your Father/Uncle yourselves." Cherry told the kids.

The kids nodded again to that.

"Okay, story time is over..." Cherry picked Felicity up off her lap and set her down on the floor with her cousins as she then took out a cigarette and took out a lighter, clicking it on to show the flame. "Mama needs some alone time." she then lit the cigarette and started to smoke.

"Okay, Maman." Felicity said.

Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity then left while Cherry took her smoke break.


"Do you think Aunt Cherry's story was true?" Estelle asked. "I mean, a friendly ghost?"

"Yeah, but he was in Dad's story about how he made Mom into a mermaid..." Vincent reminded her.

"I wonder if we'll ever meet that Casper ghost then..." Akito shrugged.

"Who knows?" Felicity shrugged.

Forte brought out a silver tray of cookies for the children. The kids remembered their manners and thanked the man as they accepted the cookies and ate them.

"So, how was story time?" Forte asked.

"Spooky in a way..." Felicity said. "Maman told us about the Haunted Mansion."

"Ah, yes, that time when she learned her lesson about scaring people." Forte smiled.

"She has...?" Akito asked. "No offense, Uncle Forte, but Aunt Cherry almost never smiles."

"I know, but that day she learned that sometimes it's okay to hold back from scaring some people too much." Forte said.

"I wonder if my baby brother or sister will learn such a lesson..." Felicity said as she ate her cookie, though she appeared to have left fang marks instead of normal child teeth marks.

"I'm sure that your baby brother or baby sister will learn his or her lesson as well." Forte said.

"Well, I'm gonna go find Dad." Akito said, finishing his cookie.

"You wanna hear about that Goku story, don't you?" Vincent assumed.

"Yes, but also about how he made friends with a goat and a wolf while getting over his fear of thunderstorms." Akito said.

"I would very much like to hear that as well." Felicity agreed with her cousins.

"Same here." Vincent and Estelle agreed.

"Hopefully Dad'll be home tonight, he's been on a case for a couple of weeks now..." Akito said. "I hope I'll be ready to take on the challenges of a detective when I grow up."

"I'm sure you will." Forte said.

"Thanks." Akito smiled.

"Of course..." Forte smiled back to the boy.

The kids then finished their cookies and were in Felicity's room until Mo would come pick the kids up to bring them back home during this visit.

The End
