"Dad told me that if I wanted to finish paying for my car after that accident well I needed to get a job and so here I’am…but you get free pizza every now and than as a thank you for getting me out of trouble."

Arthur rambled on and on about the car accident he had while driving to a party he snuck out to. Ashley apparently had got the kid out of jail and explained it to Chelsea and Clay, getting him out of a two month grounding and getting his parents to let him get a job to pay for the damage himself, which the money really went to Ashley who paid to get the three poles he hit fixed.

"So…how’s that going?" Ashley could just kick her self. She wasn’t able to say one thing that didn’t sound stupid or crazy.

"What time is it?" Arthur wondered, it seemed like he was ready to leave and get away from her.

Ashley raised her watch to check the time, her eyes blinked a few times as she realized the ticking hands slowed to a stop, shaking her wrist did nothing to move it, sighing she glanced up to see Arthur in mid pause as if he was standing up but got frozen, "Arthur?"

Ashley stood up and waved her hand in front of his face but got no reaction what so ever, she reached out to touch him and he felt solid and there was no way to push him over and move him and he didn’t seem to want to move on his own.

"AJ?" she spun around to see the little girl still on the floor watching cartoons in mid bite of her pizza, eyes on a television that was also frozen with Bugs Bunny jumping into his hole, "What is going on?"

"A chance," a voice spoke behind her.

Ashley spun around on her heels to have her breath taken away, her body felt like it was on fire and she had no way to escape the heat. Her mouth dropped to what felt like the ground and her hands became sweaty.

"Love the reaction Ash,"

She took a step back, "You’re dead!" she screeched.

"Yes I’am,"

"Aiden…"

Aiden smiled warmly at his once best friend, "It’s me Ash…it’s me."
