Ghosting

Ghosting and The Rise of the Ghost

"Where is Aureus? He's late, he's never late for an intergalactic summit," said the worried emperor of the universe to his son Valentine.

"No one has seen him," Val replied, when in the room walked an elephant, attracting everyone's attention. It wasn't an actual elephant, it was a man, an anomaly.

The Emperor saw him and walked over to him and spoke to him as a friend.

"Hello Ghost, why are you here?" asked the emperor puzzled.

"I don't know, I feel I'm meant to be here somehow?" said the Ghost.

"You are," said the emperor, "I didn't expect to see you like this."

"Me either, the last thing I remember was dying," said the Ghost.

"Been there, done that," said Val offhandedly. His father smiled.

"What? Are you a ghost too?" asked the Ghost.

"No, a zombie," said Val.

The Ghost screamed.

"Not that sort of zombie!" said Val insulted.

"He's harmless," said the emperor, chuckling.

In walked a man dressed as the Ghost. Stella looked awkwardly at him. "Excuse me Gramps, I have to talk to someone," said Stella. "Ok, have a good night, Stella," said the celestial emperor. She walked over to the Ghost. "What are you doing?" said Stella. "I'm coming to the masked ball in style," said the Ghost. "In style, what are you going to do rob it?" said Stella. "Rob it?" said the Ghost, offended. "Why are you dressed as the Ghost?" asked Stella. "I was hoping to see Rogue Star," said the Ghost. Rogue Star was Stella's secret name as a local superhero. No one knew who she was. "Why?" asked Stella, frowning. "Do I need a reason?" said the Ghost. "Nice outfit, Aureus," said a voice behind them. "Hi, am I that obvious?" said the Ghost. "Actually, yes," said Stella. "Well, I had to try, I wanted to meet Rogue Star," said Aureus.
