Dr. Harvey came downstairs and found Miriam sitting at the kitchen table, drinking her rich, morning coffee. "Hey, I want to talk to you," she said.
"Well, I want to talk to the Ghostly Trio. Have you seen them?"
"Not since yesterday," Miriam answered, her eyes shifting around the kitchen. "But they're around here somewhere…I can sense their troubled spirits."
"So can I," Dr. Harvey went to pour himself a cup of coffee. I have to ask the Trio if what I dreamed about them last night is true. It could be…but how can it? It was just a bad dream, right?
"More coffee, Grandma?" Casper said, suddenly popping up through the table.
Miriam stared at the young ghost for a moment and shook her head. "Are you trying to scare me? Cause if you are, it's not working."
"I…I don't scare people," Casper replied, awkwardly. "At least, not usually. That's my uncles' favorite pastime though. "
Miriam raised an eyebrow, then smiled. "I guess I had you mistaken for one of them. Okay, little ghost…you can bring me more coffee."
"Coming up!" Casper was glad to meet Kat's grandmother. He didn't even notice that Dr. Harvey was frowning at him.
"Casper, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Pardon? I think I'm pouring a cup of coffee. Want some?"
"Casper please, I have to talk to your uncles."
"Oh, they'll be along soon enough – it's almost time for breakfast and I'll give you three guesses as to who will be making it." Casper rolled his eyes and pointed to his chest.
"You don't get along too well with the Trio, do you Casper?" asked Miriam, curiously.
"Well, let's just say I'm not exactly the sunshine of their lives!" Casper groaned.
Miriam chuckled and looked at Dr. Harvey, who was not amused in the least.
"If anybody wants me, I'll be in my office," Dr. Harvey said, picking up his coffee cup and walking out of the kitchen. "Tell the Ghostly Trio I want to see them as soon as it's convenient. And tell them that I don't want any funny business!"
"Whatever you say!" Miriam called with a bit of sarcasm. She turned to Casper. "What's wrong with him this morning?"
"Well, I wasn't going tell you this…," Casper began slowly. "But he had a real scary nightmare last night."
"He did? What was his nightmare about?"
Casper shrugged. "He wouldn't tell me."
"Well, don't worry about it, kid. If he spends a few minutes with the Ghostly Trio, he won't have time to worry about his dreams," Miriam explained as she finished the last of her coffee.
