"I just can't believe it...I just can't. Alexis is really dead. She's
dead." Brian said, looking through a photo album. "She's gone."
"There's a whole lot of pictures in here...and most of them have her in it.
Although, she is almost always covering her face, or making some 'what are
you doing?' face." Jennifer said.
"If I had one wish, the wish would be to see her and my father one more
time...to just hear their voices; to touch their faces; to hold them one
more time." Kevin said, looking at the album.
"I wish I could help you, Kevin. But all I can do, the closest I can get
you, is to this photo album." AJ said.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings.
"I wonder who that could be." Jessica said.
They open the door, and it is Danielle!
"Hey." Danielle said, looking past everybody, and going straight to Kevin.
"I'm so sorry."
"You heard, huh?" Kevin said, looking down at her head, while they were
hugging.
"Yeah...I heard," Danielle said, "I heard."
Trying hard not to cry, Kevin and Danielle keep hugging. Kevin is afraid
to let go, that was the first time, in a long time, he has gotten a 'real'
hug.
After they get done, Kevin almost wishes that he could just hug more, and
more...but he was scared to let anything show.
"Can I use your computer? I need to look something up." Danielle said.
"Yeah, sure...go ahead." Brian said.
"Thanks," Danielle said, going into the living room.
She gets onto the computer, and pops into the 'WordPad'. She starts going
through the documents, and comes to one, and suddenly, almost starts to
scream.
She clenches onto her chair, and starts to back up. She inches towards the
wall. She didn't know how to move.
"What's wrong, Danielle?" AJ asked, looking at Danielle moving from the
computer, to the wall.
"Oh my..." Danielle said, in a shocking voice. "Oh my..."
"What's so 'Oh my...'?" Howie asked.
Danielle just stares at the computer screen, motionless. She slowly lifts
her trembling finger to the mouse, and slowly, and glently, presses the
mouse button.
"Hi! This, right here, is Danielle. That's her name, her game?
Hmmmm...I'll have to think about that. Her? That, would happen to be, ME!
Me on a picture!" Alexis's voice chimed from the computer.
"What? What's going on?" Kevin said, looking around the room, half-way
expecting Alexis to pop out of the closet and scream, 'Got you!'. "Are you
guys pulling some sick joke on me?"
Danielle, still motionless, looks at the computer, blank stare, tears in
her eyes, streaming steadily, slowly, gently, down her face.
"That's me! My game...I think I will have to think with her." Danielle
said, from the computer screen. "Hehehe."
"Danielle? What are you talking about? Who are you talking to?" Kevin
asked.
Danielle, not being able to hold it back any more, burst out with tears.
That was her and Alexis on the computer screen.
AJ, remembering Kevin's wish, said: "Well...half of your wish came true."
