Your name is AINA SHINIMI and you are in a ghost hunting expedition.

You briskly walked the pavements of your open ground school, the full moon illuminating from above and gray clouds looming by ever so slowly. The night was dark, and so was your soul.

You are with your two besties, YUKI AND SHII who are watching cautiously behind your back, you cannot help but intrigued by this odd behavior.

"Uh, what are you guys doing?" You ask, turning around. "I feel an odd sensation, its pretty chilly." Yuki states, shoving a glance at her right side for a moment. "The air feels....eerie..." Shii shivers a bit, even dressed in her cozy red scarf.

"Ohhh~ Maybe a ghost is nearby here!" You excitedly point out, your shrill voice echoing into the air and your friends promptly shushed you before the night guard could hear it from outside.

"Okay okay, let's check that hallway over there!" You point to the end of the rocky pavement you three were standing on, at the end there is a hallway leading to the clinic and some staff faculties. The sight was dark, they can't see any light from there.

"F-Fine, but after this, we're leaving!" Shii quits easily for some reason. Nodding, the girls ushered down to the hallway.

They stepped on the maroon colored floor, slowly walking and passing by doors and translucent windows covered with window shutters. Yuki was the one behind them...

And was the first one to see a harlequin popping in front of her.

"WHAT THE—" Yuki gasps, taken aback. Then she suddenly feels something pricking the back of her ankle, something thin but before she can even turn to see, she trips and water splashes down her body from above.

"Just wtf!" Yuki shouts to herself, making her comrades rush back to her. "Holeh—Yuki how did you get wet?" You ponder, coming over the watery puddle to help her friend up.

"Someone must've put a water in a bucket prank here." Shii discovers, a bucket laying there near the puddle and standing on what seems to be a thin rope tied and supposedly used to trigger the bucket to trip from the wooden plank from above.

"T-The harlequin—"

"What harlequin?"

Yuki stays silent. There was no harlequin in sight.

A sound of laughter fills the room, echoing similar to a ghost howl.

"W-We gonna get outta here!" Shii panics. "Quick hide in one of those rooms!" You commands and the three rushes to the closet room they found.

But once they got in, they got tripped into a floor of marbles, they staggered around like confused squawking ducks until they pummeled together into the fabrics of the couch in which seems to be the council's room.

"Hahaha! Omigosh I got ya'll goooddddd bwahahaha." A voice suddenly echoes followed by the sounds of whispering air and the gushing of wind. The girls came over from their temporary concussions to see the event unfolding.

From the glowing ball of blue air and light dispersing, a glowing blue boy with empty eye sockets under glasses dressed in a white shirt with a green slime ghost design, brown shorts and boots floated in front of them. He has that mischievous smile on his face.

"Y-You did those pranks?!" Shii gasps. "The school's been trying to solve who's the criminal of the pranks happening these days. Who would've knew that a GHOST actually did those?!"

The boy giggles, giggling too hard to even call it a manly giggle. "Hehe, indeed that's me! Hi I'm John!" He swoops in close to the humans, extend a friendly hand shake but suddenly recoils. "Oh right, I'm dead now I cannot be touched." He seems off for a moment but regained his cheery attitude.

"My bad ladies, I didn't know I was pranking girls. What's your names?" He waits for a reply, you decided to answer his question.

"I'm Aina, that's Shii and the blonde one is Yuki." She introduces in order, from left to right.

"Ohh Japaense girls!" He grins wider. "So yeah I'm John, but when I was alive, I'm John Egbert, I'm 13 years old but I'm actually old now since I'm kinda dead for a while. I like movies, Ghostbusters and oh! Pranks!" Wow, for a ghost, he's talkative one. You thought to yourself.

"What brings you here in our school anyway?" Yuki asks. "Oh I was just like flying around, doing pranks because I was bored and I kinda saw this school and decided to prank around for a bit teehee!" John replies, spinning around for a bit and giggling like a dork.

"Dude, for a ghost you are actually dorkable..." Shii compliments out loud, doki doki all over. You nudge her playfully. John blushes pink. "Wow gee thanks for that Shii." He seems off again. "Been a while since I've heard someone call me a dork, especially someone with red eyes like yours."

"Who? A friend?" You ask, though tenderly, he died after all it must be hard going to the other side.

"Yeah...I don't know actually where they are now, I've been wandering around clueless and hopeless. I died in a car accident, my dad survived well for me...heh this is how I ended up." John sad smiles, this atmosphere has drastically dropped down to zero degress sad.

You smile and pretend to take John's hands, connecting with her equally cold ones. "Don't worry you can be your new friends if you want to!"

Sounds cliché but John couldn't be the happiest ghost in the world to have friends with humans.
