It was a sunny morning the day Spencer had just finished packing up his room. Well, a good chunk of his share. Half of the items in his room belonged to his (Dead) cousin Billy and a fourth was too big to bring with him. After all, it was only a three month transfer. No need to bring anything too big. Spencer sighed, as he packed up the last of the boxes and taped them up. He looked over his shoulder, anticipating Billy's arrival soon. How would he explain to him what was going on? Once more, why hadn't he told him earlier? Now it would be even harder to explain. Sure enough, the blue ghost drifted through the floor,wearing a large grin, and a pair of sunglasses.
"Hey Bro-Metheous! What's going on? What's with all the boxes?"
Spencer cringed and leapt in surprise. Shakily, he turned to face Billy.
"Oh...h-hey Billy!"
"What're you doing?"
"Erm...just...packing up."
Billy's expression quickly went from chill and mellow to worried and concerned. He lifted his glasses slightly.
"Packing up? For what?"
Spencer diverted his gaze towards the boxes, trying to think of a way to explain to him without hurting his feelings. Sadly, such a way did not come, and he was soon faced with a sad pout that Billy was subjecting him to. His watery eyes, his pouting lips, it was too much for him to handle.
"Well, I was offered this class, in this town...I'll be transferring for a few months."
Billy's jaw dropped.
"WHAT?! Why?!"
"Well, apparently, some bit shot saw one of my films. Offered me a chance to attend a film makers class in some other school."
"But you can't go! Who's going to hang out with me while you're gone?!"
Spencer folded his arms and gave Billy a sympathetic look.
"You'll still have Rajeev and-"
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
Spencer glanced around nervously.
"Erm...I...I was-"
"Nevermind! I don't need to know. Because I'm coming with you!"
Spencer's eyes widened.
"But what about the mansion? And Wendy? I thought you still see her like, every week?"
"My princess can wait."
Billy replied, trying not to sound a little disappointed and guilty.
"I need to accompany my Bro on his journey!"
Spencer stared at Billy for a while, unsure of what to do. That had gone smoother than he had thought. But, it was better than the feared alternative; Billy getting all questiony and asking about why he had neglected to tell him. It made the transition easier than planned. Billy nodded and chuckled to himself, before turning back to his packing. At least he wouldn't be alone anymore. As Spencer began to place his items into the last box, he couldn't help but wonder what awaited him at his new school...
