Once Upon A Time

Sebastian and Joanna were willing to give it a try one more time.  "Here we go", said Sebastian, "Are you Ready", he asked Joanna.  "Ready or Not", "here we come". "Let's do it, Sebastian". said Joanna.  Both of them closed their eyes, and concentrated on their home address:  "645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, California". Sebastian had his eyes closed, and peaked to see if he was there yet. "No", said Joanna. "Not Yet".  So, they both closed their eyes again, and tried again. "645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, California", Joanna opened her eyes, and  nothing happened, still sitting on that same bench.  "Ok", said Joanna "we are not getting anywhere, we are missing something here, or that so call Martin lied to us and is now laughing at us".  Sebastian, just agreed by knodding his head as of saying "you are right".  So, once again, they sat there quietly for a while.  Then Sebastian had an idea.  "Joanna, listen, I think concentration may not be enough, I think we should try to repeat it once or twice or three times, until we get it right".  "Let's try it, we have nothing to lose".  Joanna said,"if anything it's going to be fun, let's do it".  So Joanna and Sebastian tried it once, and no, nothing happened, then they tried it twice, and nothing happened, "ok", Sebastian this is it, our final try", said Joanna.  "Our final and last try".  Sebastian and  Joanna closed their eyes and concentrated really hard, and repeated the address three times, "645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, CA", "645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, CA", "645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, CA".  They opened their eyes, and there with amazement, was 645 N. San Pablo, Brentwood, CA.  A beautiful white two story house with the black large lettering in front of it with the address 645 "N" San Pablo, Brentwood, CA.  "Wow", said, Joanna, "we are here", "we are here", "California, here we come", "Yeah". Sebastian yelled, Yeah!, "we are home", "we are home again".  Both Sebastian and Joanna looked at each other and remembered they were now ghost and had a quiet moment looking at each other.  Sebastian looked at Joanna and said, "well look at the positive side, we get to see our children and our home".  Joanna, sadly agreed, because she knew that she would not be able to hug them or kiss them or even say hello to them.  She consoled herself, at least by just watching them and going in what was once their home too.  Both gave a big sigh, and started walking towards the house.  As they walked, they noticed the steps they needed to step on, and so they walked one step at a time.  As they got to the door, they tried to open the door with their hands, but each had trouble, it was no longer possible.  So, Joanna thought for a moment, "We must use the same method we did before".  "It's concentration and location".  "let's try it, again, only this time, we need to concentrate on a particular room in the house," explained Joanna. Sebastian, said, "ok, I am for it, let's do it, then". So they did.  Sebastian and Joanna closed their eyes and concentrated for the living room.  "living room", they both said, and before they knew it, they were there.  Sebastian looked at the clock on the fireplace, and he noticed that it was 6:00 p.m. and as they walked in the living room, they saw a boy and a girl, and two adults quietly watching television, and eating popcorn while sitting on the couch. A dog next by the adult lady.  The dog appeared to be a Maltese.  They both got closer to the children, and they recognized James and Tamara, Sebastian got excited and Joanna was thrilled to see them.  Then, they looked at the two adults, and Tamara recognized them right away, "hey, it's my sister and my brother-in-law", "what are they doing here." Sebastian said,"they are probably just visiting the kids". Joanna said, "ok", I buy that". "Look at our beautiful children, Sebastian", "Tamara is such a beautiful girl, she's blonde, she has my blue eyes, and she appears like she is doing alright". "James, is so attentive watching the television, some of that popcorn is not even going to his mouth, it's going all over the couch",  "he is going to ruin my white couch with that greasy popcorn", Joanna said, with a real worried look on her face." "Stop", "Stop" yelled, Joanna.  "Quit", said, Sebastian, "it's useless" "Joanna, remember, we have no use for material things, a reminder, Joanna, "we are ghosts, we are ghosts, and don't you forget that, leave that poor boy alone, he doesn't know we are even here".  None of them can hear us or see us, you are wasting your time yelling at the poor boy, he can't hear you anymore,"explained Sebastian. "Well, in memory of his mother, you would think he would be more careful", said Joanna.  "yeah, sure", said Sebastian.
"ok", what next, Sebastian", asked Joanna.  "Well, we can roam the City of Brentwood, and come back later in the evening" "We can't stay here, just looking and gazing at them", "that for me, would be boring", said Sebastian,"let's roam the City of Brentwood, let's go to the theater and see what's playing, then let's go to the museum nearby, and let's go to the shopping mall, why not, we don't have to pay any entrance fees, we don't need a car for transportation, and  no one is watching us" "We can't buy things, but we can still enjoy seeing the clothes and the merchandise", "well", ok, Joanna said, "why not". "but we are coming back again to our home, right", "of course", said Sebastian.  "I want to be with my kids as much as possible, just like you do", but let's have fun for now".  "I want to roam and see the town," Sebastian said.  Joanna said, "Let's go, stranger".  Off they went into the City of Brentwood.  They loved the town, and had a great time going in and out from various theaters, watching bits and pieces of movies playing and watching the audience faces and expressions, they really enjoyed that.  Some were funny face expressions, while others were serious, while eating their popcorn, depending on the movie they were watching, while others were staring at the screen real hard, it was a crazy experience for the both of them, but they loved every moment of it.  They took off to the museum and loved the art there, and then they went to the shopping mall to check out the new clothes and the electronic devices, and of course the different people that were coming in and out from the shops.  They sat outside for a while to see the nice shops that surrounded the mall, and the nice cars that were parked on the parking lot.  They looked at each other once more, and smiled.  Sebastian said, "it's time now, it's getting late, let's go home now".  Joanna agreed, and they both concentrated on the address and repeated the address three times again, and both of them were standing in front of their house once again.  As they concentrated on the living room, and repeated the living room once, they were instantly there, and so as they roam around,  the living room was empty, so they looked in the bedrooms and noticed that the children were asleep, and as they went down the hall, they noticed another bedroom, and they looked inside the bedroom, and there was the couple fast asleep. The man was snoring loud, but he seemed very comfortable on that bed.  Sebastian and Joanna decided to just tour the rest of the home for good all times and look at the pictures on the wall that were full of memories.
