Twas a sad day, for someone had just died. The heavy rain was seen as God's tears, and boy did he cry. The fire glittered and the teary eyes of a woman named Lauren, the best friend of Patricia who had died. Her wishes were to be creamated and for her ashes to dwell the moantains. Only Lauren knew this. Friends and family wanted to know where this place was so they went with her on the trip. It never stopped raining. They took two vans. Patricia's mother, father, sister, and friends came. Lauren brought her boyfriend, Josh with her. Unfortunatly, there was a huge car crash. The only people who alright were Josh, and Patricia's two good friends, Amanda and Robert. They called the hospital,and fortunatly no one died. Everyonewas to weak besides the three. Lauren told them were it was and they went on withthe journey.

One day they stopped a mall. Robert went to the costumes store, Amanda went to the Makeup shop, and Josh bought some chocolate roses for Lauren. When Robert was done shopping, he went to Burger King to get food for everybody. While waiting in line, he was talking to this guy who was highly supersticious. He told him about the ashes and thier trip. This guy saw that the ashes would be very valuble, so he snuck into the car and found the ashes. He stayed there until they reached the mountains. It was still raining hard so they decided to wait till they would let the ashes out. Robert wanted to try his new ghost costume on that he got from the costume shop. Hewent to the bathrrom. When Amanda and Josh looked for the ashes, they found a note that said
_______________________________________________
\"Give me $1,000 and I will give you the ashes/ / back!" \
_______________________________________________

Then the guy suddenly appered and said I'll show you where it is if you give me the money. They were about to give the money when they saw a ghost. Amanda and Josh thought it was Robert and tried to play along.
"Give back the ashes!" said the ghost.
They guy quickly showed where the ashes were and then he ran away. Amanda and Josh were laughing out loud.
"Thanks Robert!" cried Amanda
"Who are you talking to?" said Robert from behind. When Josh and Amanda looked to the ghostagain, he was gone. Then suddenly the sun cameout from between the mountains.
"Look! "Sunlight!" Wow. It's so beautiful!" cried Robert.
