Toby: Should I tell dad or uncle Curt about this?

The next morning, Toby woke up and went downstairs to see his dad greeting him happy birthday.

Kenny: Happy birthday, Toby!

Toby: Thanks. Where's uncle Curt?

Kenny: He couldn't come, I'm sorry. You alright?

Toby: Oh, erm...

Kenny: Is it the parcel delivered at 12 am in the morning?

Toby: Yes. I'm a Spirit, aren't I?

Kenny: A Human-born Spirit, like me and your uncle Curt.

Toby: Really?

Kenny: Yeah, maybe talk to Aimee or Ranboo about that, I think they're also Spirits.

Toby met up with his friends, Ranboo and Aimee, at the beach. It's just the 3 of them this time because Freddie and Eryn went back to Nottingham to visit family and Tommy got sick, again.

Ranboo: Thanks for agreeing to meet up, you seem worried.

Aimee: Yeah, you alright?

Toby: Matter of fact, I am worried.

Aimee: Why? Cuz Curt can't play Mad World or Everybody Wants To Rule The World?

Toby: It's not that. Although I really did miss him ever since I moved here from Bath.

Ranboo: Then, what's up?

Toby: It's the parcel.

Aimee: Tell me you got that too.

Toby: I did.

Aimee: No way.

Ranboo: Congratulations, you're officially a Human-born Spirit.

Toby: Everyone in my family knows that by now.

Aimee: Your mum?

Toby: Dunno where she is.

Aimee: C'mon bozo, let's celebrate.
