Welcome to Wonderland.

On the way they chatted a lot, mostly with each other, partly with Ken and almost rarely with me. I was really excited to hangout with them, but I was also very aware of my surroundings. Not that I was scared of the crowd or something, but since the crowd was new for me, I found it a little overwhelming. Although, I believe as a ghost crowd is really advantageous, you can be invisible even when you are visible. Not to mention, I was was also preoccupied by my thoughts of what will Oliver and Margaret find.

"Tell me something, how old are you as a ghost?" Zach asked me.

"Around two months, why?" I counter questioned him.

"Oh, then maybe it's too soon for you to posses people then."He smiled softly.

"Not really, I can posses people. I learned it recently. I'm a fast learner" I told him, indeed quiet proud of myself.

"That's great then, we might need it." He slightly nodded his head.

"We are here!" Jeanine cheered as soon as we arrived in front of a big metal barred gate, where it was written in huge comical fonts. 'Welcome to Wonderland'. Peeking further into the place one could easily see the amount of crowd present there, most of which were kids and teenagers, even few young adults were there. There were some huge machine like things where people were riding.

I examined the outside more closely, there was a booth like place where most of the people were going before entering though the msin gate. There was a page adhered to the wall of the booth, written in which there was a price list of various rides.

"Have you ever been here?" Zach asked directly looking at me.

"I am new to this city, to be honest, I have been nowhere yet." I shrugged.

"No, I meant in an amusement park. You have been recently dead right, I thought maybe you might have visited one as a human. Maybe, when you were a child?"

"Oh, I don't really remember." I shook my head as I shrugged.

"Regardless, lets enjoy! come on." He gestured with his hand to get inside.

"Um... don't we need to go there first, every one else seems to go there." I asked them as I scrunched my eyebrows.

Jeanine laughed softly, while Zach chuckled. "That's for the humans, it's more like a rule they have to follow. Don't worry I guarantee you I know what I am doing, there won't be any problem.

We went inside, and went to a giant wheel like structure. "What do you say? Want to ride the Ferris Wheel?" Jeanine smirked at me.

I looked at her in confusion but I nodded at her anyway. These rides seemed dangerous, but being dead dangerous term was highly invalid to me.

"How are we gonna ride this? Everywhere it's full of people, possessing them seems mean, we shouldn't rob them of their joy for our enjoyment." I purse my lips at them.

Both of them chuckled. "See that one" Zach pointed at an empty Pod amongst so many loaded Pods. I nodded as I realised he wants us to board it. "They keep few Pods empty to maintain balance, I think. Its safe for us to use them, we after all weigh nothing" She shrugged as she jumped around.

The wheel was boarding passengers and it stopped at every pod to let the people get inside it. However they did not stop the empty ones as it was pointless. I looked at the couple wondering how they were planning to get inside. They must have guessed what I was thinking, so they smirked at me then looked at each other.

I continued looking at them with a still and focused gaze. They held each other's hand and vanished suddenly into thin air. I looked around me before spotting them in an empty pod. Before I could react in at all, Ken grabbed my hand from behind and I suddenly saw everything black for a very split second. The next thing I saw was the metal encircling around me. I was in the Pod already.

"Congratulations on your first teleportation! even if it was virtue of me" He gave me a cocky smile. I rolled my eyes at him.

The ride started, it felt pretty much normal to me. But when it was coming down, I could feel something inside me. I was scared and excited at the same time. I was thrilled. Even my heart, which was not supposed t be there made a throbbing noise, like a remnant echo of something long gone.

"So, how was your ride?"Jeanine sang at me.

"Awesome!"I announced in a high pitched voice. Never have I ever enjoyed myself this much, ever since I died. It made sense now why this place was so crowded.

We tried few more rides. They were so fun, I even learned their names. They gave me a sense of pure joy, it made me forget all my worries and all the other attributes of my personal life. We must have been there for almost at least an hour before they suggested to get something to eat.

"You want to try this?" Jeanine pointed at some cotton like thing.

"Can we taste it? We are dead, what if we did not have those things when I was alive?" Ken asked them.

"That's the trick! Let me tell you something, we have a lot of limitations, but at the same time lot of advantages." Zach shrugged. "You need to learn the proper combination, and Bam! you have a hack!"

"We just have to poses people who are eating them. When we are possessing someone we are linked to their senses, which makes us feel whatever the person is supposed to feel." She added. "Not for long though, just long enough to get a taste."

I agreed with their strategy and we ended up possessing a group of four teenagers, all of them were guys. It was probably my fourth bite when suddenly Ken exclaimed.

"Hey look at that! isn't that your daughter?"

I turned around to see a bunch of children, wearing similar uniforms, gathered in a group and walking in a line, and surrounded by few adults, maybe teachers. Now if not for my enhanced vision I would have missed it. I only saw her picture that day, but still I could recognize her. She had the same round puffy cheeks and plum lips, and big round eyes. Her hair was tied above her head neatly. There was no doubt

It was my daughter.
