Hello, everyone! This story is basically a collection of one shots that tell the story of what happened after Haunting Hour. I am only doing five episodes out of season one because they're my favorite episodes and I thought they'd make interesting stories.

This is Episode 1: The Dead Body

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Warnings: Language. Also, this is based on my beliefs as a Christian, so sorry if that doesn't appeal to you. Thirdly, hints of suicidal thoughts and plans for a suicide attempt

Summary: this story shows what Travis, Cheng, and Anna do when they discover that Will was 'killed' by a ghost.

It was May at Northeast High (made up the school) and the End of the Year Dance was nearing. Travis and Cheng had both recovered from the trauma after a few weeks at a mental institution and several therapy sessions. Anna was now dating Jake Skinner while getting over Will's disappearance back in late March, early April. Jake and Anna had shared their first kiss and were planning to go to the Dance together. Until Anna saw Will standing in the fenced off area of the gym.

Jake almost always lifted weights after school, seeing as he had joined the wrestling team, and Anna normally went to see him. When she reached the gym, she realized that Jake had a meeting with the guidance councilor to talk about him returning to this school next year. Sighing in exasperation, Anna turned to walk home when she heard a voice that she never thought that she'd hear again.

"Anna!"

The young teenager turned to see Will, her missing friend, standing in the fenced off area of the gym, where most equipment was stored. He hadn't changed one bit in the past two months, same clothes, same hair, same everything; it was as if a day hadn't passed since his disappearance.

"Will?" Anna gasped. "But-"

"I know this is weird, but I'll explain everything. Just let me out of here!"

She did so, yet when she tried to hug him, she found her arms going straight through the boy and coming back to her chest, freezing cold.

"What-"

"Don't worry, Anna, I can explain." And he did. Will told her everything from meeting Jake and making their deal to him time traveling and getting locked in here in the 1960's. He even told her that he'd tried to get her attention at the school dance, but she couldn't see him then and he wasn't sure why she could see him now.

"Well, that doesn't matter; we need to figure out how to change you back."

"Why do you want to change me back? I'm sure that you love Jake a lot more than you loved me," Will mumbled, depressed.

Anna was surprised. "Look, Will, I thought I loved Jake, but I think that was only because he was there when you couldn't be. When you couldn't be there to kiss me, Jake was."

"So, you replaced me."

"No! I mean that I was heart broken when you didn't show up at the dance and then I nearly shattered when you were pronouned missing. Jake was just convinently there to lessen the pain, but that doesn't mean I love him like I love you, Will. I love him like a brother, yet he loves me like a girlfriend and I didn't have the heart to tell him that the feeling wasn't mutual. Besides, my mom told me something once, Will. After my daddy died, I asked why God wouldn't give him back and she said, 'Anna... if a person dies, they're meant to be dead. God takes them in because he knows that that's what he has to do.' Will, he tried to take Jake, but Jake didn't want to die, so Jake took you. The reason you didn't wake up in Heaven is because God isn't ready for you yet."

"You're mom sounds real wise, Anna," Will whispered.

"Yeah, she is. Now, how are we going to change things?"

"Well, I think I know how, but we'll need help," Will told her with a grin. "And Travis and Cheng are perfect for the job."

A few days later, everything was ready. Will stood in the fenced off area of the gym, waiting for Jake to come through the door as he stared at the picture of John F. Kennedy on the wall, making the year 1961. Will discovered that he could transport himself and others to this year, and that was how they were going to change him back.

"Hey, guys, what the hell is wrong with you?" Jake's irritated yell came through the doorway.

"We know what you did to Will, Skinner, and what you did to us!" Travis screamed back.

"Look, I'm sorry about what I did to you, but you guys hated Will, so shouldn't you be happy?"

"No," Travis disagreed. "We teased Will, but only because we were jealous. He was smart and not bad looking; he got a pretty girl and a few friends, which I guess made sense. He was the nicest kid in school. But we never wanted him dead!"

"Well, guess what? Even if I hadn't traded places with him, he would have wound up dead anyway."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Will was making plans to kill himself before he met me and asked Anna out on a date."

Silence.

"Shut up, Skinner." Next thing Will knew, Jake was shoved into the gym/weight room and stared into Will's blue eyes with pure black orbs.

Travis pushed the teen into the fenced off area, which was now bathed in flames, and Will dove out, landing beside a smiling Travis and Cheng.

Together, the three of them locked Jake in and raced out, ignoring him screaming about revenge and getting them someday.

The trio darted up the steps, and while Travis and Cheng stood at the doorway, Will strolled up to a tearful Anna and asked, "Anna Wheeler, may I have this dance?"

Grinning a shaky smile, she nodded and together they danced the night away, ignoring the shocked looks from the other students when they saw that William Grey had returned to Northeast High.

* Meanwhile in elsewhere*

"Jake," a tearful woman said as a boy with too much hair grease and a black leather jacket turned to face her. "My baby."

"Mom?"

"Baby, you need to understand that what you did was wrong."

"B-but, Mom," the boy stuttered with a sob. "I was only sixteen. I-I didn't want to die yet."

"I know, baby, but you were ready to. God explained it all when your father and I died. He knew that the boys that bullied you were making you miserable and they payed dearly for it. He took you to put you out of your misery and to make you happy."

"B-but, I wasn't happy!" With that, the mother and son held each other, soon joined by a crying father. They'd been separated too soon, and the boy had gotten off the wrong track after his death, but they were together again and nothing, not even the powers of God, could tear them apart.

AN: I know that some characters were OOC. Also, I think that Travis and Cheng had a reason from bullying kids, Will in particular, and if he disappeared and they found out that the guy that nearly drove them crazy killed him, they'd feel bad for what they did.

What'd you think? Review!
