Alison sighed as she moved her brown hair from her green eyes as she helped Steve and Grant put every technological gadget into the car. She was very excited to work with the Ghost Hunters Crew and see if there are ghosts at her college town's beloved hotel room. Plus all of them are allowed to use the rooms where they had the most activity to sleep. How interesting. But that would be about three or four in the morning when they can sleep.
"So, this is your college town, Alison?" Grant asked, as he looked over at Alison curiously, a smile on his face. He was a nice guy, standing about five foot eight, with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He was about thirty one years old, about twelve years older than the nineteen year old Alison Woods. Alison nodded with a smile. "Yep. This is where I'm stationed most of the week, then I'm at the local ghost hunting crew at night and on the weekends." She replied. "Wow." Steve commented, his brown eyes widening as he looked over at her. "That's a lot of stuff you have on your plate, ALison." He said surprised.
Alison shrugged as she helped fit the last duffel bag into the car. "Eh, well. I just learn how to get all of my work done before I play." She said with a soft laugh as she opened the door and sat in the passenger seat of the TAPS car. Steve got into the driver's seat. Grant walked over to the driver's window. "So we'll see you there." Grant said with a grin. Alison gave him a peace sign. "See you Grant!" She yelled as she turned on the radio, making the cameraman, Jeff laugh. She was quite an outgoing girl.
Apparently, Alison's friend, Tango, Kris and Kris plus their cameramen and crew will meet them there at the Mohonk Mountain House. It is a huge hotel that Alison had stayed in a few times while she went to college just down the road. She beamed as they rolled up infront of the hotel. "Wow." Steve said, as the cameraman got the hotel on camera. "It's gorgeous." He said looking at it in awe as he parked the car near the front door. Alison unbuckled herself. "Told you." She said smugly. She saw a few other cars and grinned. She hopped out of the car and went to the back to greet her good friend who was also asked to work on the TAPS crew on the television show first before she goes to unload.

Felicia hadn't been living in New York for long, but she was different than most people. She did have a small pyschic ability to sense things and even see, sometimes speak with ghosts. It was a unique gift, that most people didn't believe in, but she didn't mind the ridicule at times. Fe was one of the few people who could laugh at herself, even she didn't believe it, until she witnessed it first hand after moving to New York, from California. Upon moving here, she ended up rooming at the school next to Mohonk Mountain House, it was a really pretty and really haunted hotel. She had met her new found friend Alison there.
When she first met the Ghost Hunters, she was glad she got to talk with Jason. Fe had been a fan of the show, and she loved his no bullcrap attitude. "How long have been here in New York?" he asked her nicely. "A few months really, but it's brimming with activity in that hotel. I had a good scare once when I was there, something or someone touched me, without anyone else being in the room." she nodded and smiled. He smiled at her and they exchanged some pleasantries as she got to talk with Kris and David Tango. She was helping them load up the vans, for their next adventure when Tango asked her where she was from originally. "California actually, and I saw the episode where you went to that supposedly haunted bar. The one with the blue lady, I was pissed." she snorted, as that was the episode where they were spoked by gadgets and not ghosts.
Tango rolled his eyes, and Jay snorted. "That was just wrong, we were all exited thinking we were going to find something. Then it turn out to be a hoax!" Fe nodded and shook her head. "Yeah, I mean if the guy wanted you to check stuff out, at least turn off all the fake stuff for a night." she rolled her eyes as the van was packed and she looked expectantly at them. Jay looked at her. "Alright, I'm off with Steve and Grant, you will ride with Kris and Tango here, and we'll meet you there." she beamed with excitement. "Sweet deal, dude." she said as she saluted him and hopped into the van.
Felicia wasn't all that outgoing, more or less shy. She hid behind a vail of jokes and laughter, she was afraid to let people get too close. She and Tango chatted till a few minutes later they got there and he stepped out first. "Woah! Dude, it must have cost you a pretty penny to stay here." he said in awe. She shook her head with a small laugh. "Not really, it's kind of expensive, but it's worth the fright!" she had replaced fright with night and made an attempt at cackling like Dracula. He laughed and shook his head at her. Looking over she spotted Alison and waved to her. "Hello girly." she said walking over to her, with a small grin on her face. She eyed Steve a bit, but then brought her attention back to Alison. "Exciting isn't it?" she asked.

Alison smiled at the place as she walked over to see Felicia out of hte car. She grinned, as she walked over to Felicia and hugged her gently. "Oh very. I wanted to do an investigation on this house forever." She said with a laugh as she looked from Tango to her. She raised both eyebrows seeing Felicia eye Steve. She grinned. "You got some eye candy." She singsonged with a grin on her face. Alison turned her head to call for Steve. "Steve! Come here for a sec! I want you to meet my friend Felicia!" She called with a grin as she shivered in her four layers.
Sure, they were up in the mountains but they were going to close down the hotel for the night so they can do their investigation. Steve picked his head up from behind the truck and walked on over. "What up, Alison?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. Alison grinned. "Steve. Felicia. Fe, Steve. She's my friend from college. She's also into the whole ghost hunting, debunking thing." Alison explained.
Steve chuckled and held a hand out to her, a smile on his face. "Nice to meet you Felicia." He said with a grin on his face. Good natured and lovable, that Steve. Grant looked over to see Felicia, Alison, and Steve happily chatting. He grinned as he leaned against the truck, looking over at Kris Williams. "Well, I see the youngin's are fitting in quite nicely." Kris smiled as she nodded, pushing up her glasses onto her nose as her hazel eyes watched them. "Yeah. I think Felicia might like Steve." She denoted, observing Felicia's looks over to Steve who was oblivious.
Grant chuckled. "That may be true. I do see Alison spotting Tango over there. Kids." He shook his head with a laugh. Jeff the cameraman looked over at them. "So, when are we unloading?" Jeff asked Grant. Grant simply smiled. "In a few." He answered, watching the three, soon turned four "kids" all talking.

Fe hugged Alison back as she hugged her. It was good to see her again, they hadn't seen each other in a few days due to working hard and such between school, and jobs it was hard to see people all the time. "I know! Me too, it was awesome the last time I was here. Being all creeped out and such, I mean I was texting you the whole night I was here." she giggled and shook her head. When she brought up eye candy, Fe looked over her shoulder at Tango and grinned. "Seems I'm not the only one." she nodded and rolled her eyes. As Alison called out to Steve, she went pale, she had never been good with this kind of thing. "Aly, please, nooo." she whispered as she pulled her baseball cap that said "Dude, run!" on it, she winced.
Steve walked over all smiles, and she melted. He was so cute, plus it didn't hurt that he had tattoos. She had always been a sucker for body art. "Hi, nice to meet ya Steve." Felicia offered her hand to him and he shook it. She smiled as Aly gave her that lovely introduction and as if called by Alison's mind, Tango came walking over with a few EMF detectors in his hands. "Yeah, and she's apparently pyschic too." he winked at Fe, then smiled at Alison. "Aly, David Tango, Tango this is Alison. My best friend and the one I told you about on the ride over."
Felicia giggled a bit and shook her head. She blinked as she looked at Steve, unsure of what to do or say, for once she wished she was as outgoing as Alison. Oh well, she'd find a way to work with Steve so they could talk more. Jason walked over to Grant and Kris, and laughed as he heard them talking. "I think they're fitting along more than nicely. Looks as if we may have to work those kids together." he said with a small glint in his eyes, as he winked at Grant. After hearing what Grant said about setting up, he nodded. "First we have to meet with the owners of this place." he said as he transferred some of the things he had been carrying into their van. "Steve! Time to meet the owners." Jay called at him.

"I can't believe we both went on two different times. Me here with my family friend's band, and you here with some friends." She rolled her eyes with a grin on her face. "I thought you would love it, being all psychic and all." She answered with another small laugh. Alison blushed when Tango came over. "Shush you." She giggled.
Steven came over and grinned as he shook her hand. "Nice to meet you Felicia. It'll be great working with you." He said with a smile as he watched Tnago come over. He grinned. "Wow. Really? Psychic?" He asked Felicia surprised, but impressed as well. Alison laughed softly. "Hi Tango." She said, a bit shyly. She gave Fefe a look that clearly meant, "you spoke to him about me?!"
Alison narrowed her eyes at Felicia and looked back over at Tango with a grin. "I can't wait to investigate this place. I've been here a few times, and gotten some creepy experiences while I'm here. So I can't wait til I use the gadgets to see if anything credible." Alison explained with a grin.
Steve grinned at Felicia. "So, what made you get into Ghost Hunting? Other than the whole being psychic and seeing ghosts and such?" He asked Felicia, as he leaned against the car.
Grant frowned when Jason called for Steve to go meet the owners. "Aw, Jay, no. Let them talk." He tried to say, making Kris laugh. "Grant the matchmaker, who knew?" Kris teased Grant with a grin on her face. Grant simply smiled and shrugged. "What? They look cute all together and talking." He then turned to Jason. "Hey Jay, how about we get Steve and Felicia to walk around together, and Alison and Tango? Let them get a feel for the whole investigation?" He asked hopefully.
Steve turned to hear Jason calling for him to meet the owners. "I'll be back." He said with a smile to Felicia and Alison. "I'll see you later." He then jogged off to meet up with Grant and Jason.

"I know, it's so weird." she shrugged and smiled at Aly. "Of course I would, it's just weird when you hear a voice in your head, that isn't your own." she said with a small grumble, it was weird indeed. And kind of scary, because she was more likely to get possessed by an evil spirit than anyone else. "Wha-?" she almost asked, until Tango walked over. Even Fe would admit to him being attractive, but there was something about the big teddy bear of man standing in front of her that appealed to her more.
Fe smiled and tried to keep herself from blushing, as he was just too nice. "Thanks! It'll be great working with you too Steve." she said with a small nod. "Yep, been happening since I was kid. Jay was really interested in it and asked me a bunch of questions about it, I still think that he thinks it's kind of a hoax, but I promise you, I've talked to a spirit before and it was interesting... To say the least." she nodded and smiled, then winked as Alison gave her that shocked and surprised look.
Tang nodded as Alison spoke and smiled. "Yeah, I was reading it about it before we investigated it. It's pretty neat and I'd like to get a look around. Hopefully somethin'll happen, yanno?" he laughed a little and looked at her. "So uh, this your first time? Or have you investigated something like this before? I know it's your first with TAPS as you and Fe there want to join, but I heard you were in some other paranormal society, thing?" he said trying to remember what Felicia had told him about Aly. Alison was cute in his opinion and he wouldn't mind working with her.
Fe thought about what Steve asked her, and itched her mane of dark brown hair that was underneath her cap. "Well, I've always been an investigator of sorts. When I was little, I used to explore places around my home and such. I'm naturally curious, plus I love old buildings, so getting to salvage my curiosity while exploring old buildings, makes for one good job!" she grinned at him, the tilted her head. "What about you, Steve?"
"You know the drill Grant, he's a big of the team." Jay said with a small smile on his face, "Plus, he likes meeting the owners." he shrugged as he watched the kids talking to each other. He laughed as Grant asked if they should pair up the new girls with the boys. "Sure, might as well." he nodded in agreement.
"Okay Steve." she waved with a small sigh. Felicia blushed finally, as Steve's back was turned. Tango looked at her and laughed, "Naw, you like Steve?" Fe nodded and blushed more. "Cute... He's clueless though, you'll have to spill the beans eventually." Tango patted her shoulder and winked, then turned to Alison. "So, you've been here before? What rooms get the most activity? Do you know?"

Alison rolled her eyes at Fe as she talked about the voice inside her head that isn't her own. Yes. She knew abou thtat. She blinked, looking over at Fe surprised. "You never told me that you spoke to a spirit before." She accused her with a grin on her face.
Steven chuckled with a smile on his face. "That's really interesting." He murmured, with a smile still on his face. He knew that he was a teddy bear. He looked like he could be mean and menacing, with the tatoos on his arm and ghost hunting sounds like a big man job. And yet, he's afraid of bugs, spiders mostly, bats, and planes. He was just a big ol' teddy bear, even though he tries to hide it, everyone knows from watching the show.
Alison nodded to Tango and grinned. "Nah this isn't my first time. I was with the paranormal society here upstate New York, so I've been in the surrounding areas, checking them out from time to time. And my first investigation was with my own house down in Long Island, and that was very interesting. My second investigation was with my second house about an hour north of here. Those two got some very interesting evidence of a haunting." She explained with a sheepish smile on her face towards Tango. Ever since Alison had started to watch Ghost Hunters from the very first season up til now, when she is in the show, (her mother is so proud of her), she always liked Tango. So actually talking to him was very exciting for her.
Steve nodded and grinned. "That's what I like about Ghost Hunters. I'm afraid of everything but ghosts. I like to get to know their pasts, and help them to move on, and let the real living owners be in charge of their own house again." Steve said thoughtfully after thinking about his answer for a while. He really did want people to have more control over their lives, especially their houses. Steve then smiled at Felicia. She was pretty cute after all.
Grant sighed. "I know. But he looks like he's having fun over there." Grant said with a small joking pout on his face towards Jay. He then shifted from foot to foot, as he crossed his arms infront of himself. "True." He nodded in agreement. Steve likes to be the big man in charge. Steve jogged over. "Okay. I'm here. Let's go in." Steve said with a grin on his face. Grant couldn't help but to grin back. "Okay, Lead the way Steve." Grant said with a small laugh and followed Steve into the lobby where they met the owner, and the cameras started to roll, taping their fifth season of Ghost Hunters.
Alison grinned as well. "I think Steve's starting to like her too." She said after a moment, with a small nod. She patted Fe's other shoulder and then laughed softly. She turned to Tango and blinked. "Yeah I've been here before. Apparently, it's room two hundred and seventeen is the most active room in the hotel, even though there are other hotspots in the hotel. And a lot of people think that this hotel, not the Stanley Hotel is the one that Stephen King wrote the Shining about." Alison shrugged. "I thought it was interesting." She smiled sheepishly at Tango.

Fe blushed and winced, when Alison accused her of withholding the fact that she had spoken to a spirit before. It had been more than once, and she chuckled lightly. "Sorry, you never asked... It's happened more than once." she nodded and shrugged, it wasn't that big of a deal, well maybe it was. But she didn't talk about those things much.
Felicia shrugged and bit and shuffled her feet around. "Yeah, I guess so. Jason seemed to like the idea, he thought I might be able to bring out more spirits." she nodded and smiled at Steve. He was so cute, and she had liked him from the show, watching him and his inability to fly, along with huge fears of spiders and bats. It was too cute, she would sit and wish she could hold his hand or something so he wouldn't be so scared. Then again, she hated bugs too, bats were cool, but bugs were disgusting.
Tango smiled at her, interested about what she knew and more importantly about her. "Wow, that's cool." he said, his eyes grew when she mentioned her first two investigations were her own homes. "No kidding? That's pretty sweet, I never grew up in any haunted places... At least, not that I remember of." he shrugged a bit and continued to smile at her. "What do your parents think about you ghost hunting, I mean not all parents are as kind as some when they say their trading in the neckties for an EMF." he laughed and teased her.
"Hmm, I guess that's as good a reason as any to join TAPS, huh?" she smiled at him, as she watched him. Felicia liked to watch him smile, he was so cute. "Well, that's one reason I wanted to join as well. And another one Jay was interested in me, thinking that I could yanno, help the spirit cross over." she shrugged and watched him walk away over to Grant and Jason. She sighed a little.
Jason nodded and smirked at Grant. "You're a big softie, you know that?" he said jokingly to Grant, it was funny to hear him talk about the new recruits like that. Just then Steve came running over and Jason looked at him with a small smile. "Let's go do it." Steve lead the way inside and they all followed behind, with the camera rolling. Ready to film the place.
Fe blinked and looked at both of them. "Bah! Don't be evil." she stuck her tongue out at Alison in a tease. Fe laughed and shrugged, as she was called over by Dustin, he needed assistance moving something. Apparently he had called Tango, but Tango hadn't noticed, he watched Fe walk off, then looked back at Alison. "Hmm, we should hit that room then. Did you stay in room 217?" he asked with a slight tilt of his head as he heard Dustin mumble something over his shoulder. "Sorry Dust.. I was preoccupied..." he muttered back, then looked at Alison again. "Oh really? Huh? Well, I guess we'll never know where he wrote The Shinning then?" he said and shrugged, but it looked like the hotel in The Shinning. It would make sense if it was written here.

Alison pouted. "Secrets secrets are no fun unless you share with everyone." She singsonged, poking Felicia's shoulder gently. Alison definitely thought it was a big deal. Well, it was a bigger deal than Felicia let on, of course.
Steve smiled at Felicia. He had no idea that she thought that he was cute. He watched her. But he had an inkling that Alison knew that he thought that Felicia was cute. With her dark brown hair to her blue-grey eyes, to her taller stature, and a smile on her face. And the fact that she was shyer than the rest made him like her even more.
Steve was a sucker for the shy type. Though he thought Alison would be better suited for Tango. They would be a definite cute couple. Steve thought Alison to be a younger sister in a sense. For him at least.
Alison blushed as she nodded, surprised that someone took an interest in her. "Yeah. I kind of knew that they were both haunted, it just never made me realize til a few years ago, when I decided to do a bit of my own investigation when my parents were out at dinner." She explained with a smile on her face. Alison laughed at what Tango said. She shrugged. "Well, my parents at first were surprised, but then again, I'm still a student. They want me to continue my college carreer to get a psychology diploma, and for my dayjob, work with kids as a child psychologist, at night be a ghost hunter." Alison explained with a grin. "My parents knew that I loved the show and always had a belief in ghosts. So when they heard that I was in a paranormal team up here in New Paltz, they weren't surprised at all." Alison laughed softly at the end, giving him a grin. he shrugged a bit and continued to smile at her.
"Definitely. Don't you?" He asked with a smile. Steve nodded. "That sounds like Grant. The ever so helpful one." He said with a small laugh. He nodded. He then walked away and went inside to go the whole interview with the owners of the hotel. He was excited to find out more about this hotel in particular. Alison had filled him in on the hotel on their ride over to New Paltz from Rhode Island earlier in the daytime, so by the time they arrived here, he had some sense of the place just by her description alone.
Grant grinned at Jason. "You know that I am." He said with a mix between a sigh and a laugh. He nodded to Steve, and gave him a pound before they walked in and started to talk to the owners of the place. The camera crew got every bit of word of the whole interview with the owners, and about fifteen minutes later, Grant came out. "Guys! We want you in here to do the walk through with us!" Grant called from the front steps of the place.
Alison looked over at Tango. "Yeah. room two seventeen. Interesting, right?" She asked with a grin, as she stopped to look over at Dustin and then nodded. "Yeah. I wish I were able to speak with Stephen King, but oh well." She shrugged. "Coming!" Alison called to Grant. She turned to Tango with a grin. "Wanna race to the door?" She asked, her childish side back in her. She crouched, getting ready to run to the front steps, which was about a good few hundred feet from where they were standing.

"Fiiinneee!" She said to Alison's teasing, then dropped the subject. She made a mental note to tell Aly when she spoke to ghosts again. Besides she kept a small journal of all the times when she had actually spoken to a ghost, she would record the entire conversation, for further use, later on.
Fe had always been somewhat oblivious to when guys liked her, her first boyfriend actually had to scream at her. He stood there the day before prom asking her out, and she kept asking why. Then he finally got frustrated and spilled the beans that he liked her and wanted to date her and such. They had been together for about a year after that, then things fell apart and they were still friends. Talked whenever they saw fit, but other than that, she didn't think about him. He obviously wasn't the one, but there was something different about Steve, she was a sucker for nice guys.
The big soft, cuddly types.
Tango looked at her interestedly. She was fun and outgoing, something he really liked in girls. He wasn't all that shy himself, so it was nice to have someone he could talk to, without feeling awkward around. "Huh? That's pretty cool. What'd you do? Take a little tape recorder and try to get some EVP?" he asked, and when she laughed, he laughed. Her laugh was a little contagious. "Child psychologist? Wow, that's gotta be tough. A lot of school." he said with a small shrug, he yawned and stretched as he heard Dusty behind him gibbering. "That's cool. My parents weren't all that supportive at first, they thought it was a waste of time. Till the show took off and now they couldn't be happier." he coughed and adopted a fake female voice, "My little Davie is on teevee!" he said doing an impression of his mother clapping. Tango snorted and shook his head. "Parents, yanno?" he chuckled.
"Indeed. It would be helpful." she smiled and nodded at Steve. When he was gone she helped Dustin get some of the supplies over towards the entrance, so that way they wouldn't have to haul it much further after they had a brief walk through. She was jabbering away, and she and Dustin were laughing. Dustin told her a few times about when he worked with Steve, and stuff. Very insightful things for her.
Jay laughed, with a small shake of his head, they headed inside. It was a nice place inside, and it seemed like a fun investigation. The new additions, would most likely be very helpful. Jason followed Grant to beckon the crew inside.
"Pretty darn interesting to me." he smiled at Alison and looked over as Grant and Jason were calling, them over. "Who knows, you may get to?" he shrugged, then watched as she took a stance and asked if he wanted to race. Tango grinned and nodded. "Alright, winner gets... a cookie?" he snorted and shrugged. "On three, then. One... Two... Three!" he shouted and dashed towards the door. Jumping over some of the things that Dustin and Felicia had placed in the way.
"Be careful you two!" Felicia shouted after them, as she saw Alison and Tango take of running. She wasn't much older than Alison, about three years, but still. She rolled her eyes and walked in with Dustin, Kris and Kris. She smiled looking over at Jason, Grant and mostly Steve.

Alison giggled at Felicia and nodded. "Good." She crossed her arms infront of herself with a grin. She looked over at Steve and grinned at him. She knew that Steve likes Felicia. She would have to tease him about her later on in the nighttime. But Alison would be a good girl. She won't talk about their crushes on the air. She isn't an evil person.
Steve watched her with a grin. He had no idea that she likes him, or even thinks he's cute. But what matters is that Alison needs to keep her mouth shut because he thinks that Felicia is very cute. And only a few years younger than he. Felicia being twenty-two, and he thirty-one, Steve did realize that there is an age difference. However, not as big as Tango and Ali's age difference, where Tango is twenty-three, and Alison is nineteen.
Alison beamed at Tango. She really did like him. Plus that Ghost Hunters Live on Halloween the year before was so hilarious. Him, Steve, and the other Steve had an improv kitchen band, which just made her smile. She beamed at him and nodded. "Yeah. Well not at first. When I realized that the house was haunted, I first set up cameras everywhere. I guess being the president of an audio-visual club at my high school paid off because I got to keep most of the cameras over the weekend to see if there was anything paranormal happening in my house." Alison explained with a grin towards him. She liked his laugh. She nodded. "Yeah, but at the same time, I'll be able to work with kids during the day. And seeing that I'm a child at heart, and practically still child-sized, the children would have no problems with me." She responded with a nod. She listened and then giggled at his impression of his mother. "I think you would get along with my parents." Alison said, scratching her head with a sly grin over to him.
Steve smiled as he listened to the owners and what they heard. Steve made an offhand comment. "So, I heard from one of our investigators that this was the place for the Shining and not the Stanley Hotel?" Steve asked, wanting to spark another insightful response from the owner. Steve was good at asking questions. Another reason why he was on TAPS, aside from seeing if there are ghosts in a hotel or a house.
Alison blinked up and nodded. "That would be awesome to see a ghost or have an experience with a ghost." She explained with a nod. She grinned when she got ready. "A cookie?" Alison asked with a laugh. "How about a kiss on the cheek?" She flirted with a grin on her face. She then started to take off after Tango with a laugh. "You cheated!" She called out after him as she ran towards the front hall, running around the things that Dustin and Felicia put onto the ground because she knew t hat if she jumped over them, she would trip and fall. "I will!" She then skidded to a stop on the front steps, making it a tie between her and Tango. "Hah! A tie!" She made a small victory dance. In her mind, that means that she didn't lose.
Grant laughed watching Tango and Alison acting like kids and raced towards the front door of the hotel. He grinned. He loved kids, which is why he has a few himself. But seeing Tango and Alison still acting like kids made his day. Then again, in his mind, Tango and Alison were still kids, age-wise. No matter Tango is twenty-three and Alison, the baby of the group, is nineteen. That is still a kid in Grant's mind.
Steve chuckled watching them race. Gotta hand it to Alison to make Tango run like that, with the exeption of running away from bats, and bugs. But actually running towards something. Steve looked over at Felicia and caught her eye. Steve had to do something to make her realize that she was staring at him. Steve gave her a smirk and a wink towards her. "You coming Felicia and Dustin?" He called out to the two of them.

Fe merely chuckled at Alison, she was so much fun. Felicia and her hit it off pretty well when they first met, they were into a lot of same things and had relatively the same taste in guys. Alison was the friend that Fe needed after she moved away from her old home in California and out here to New York. It was a big change, but she loved it. New places and new people.
Tango really liked Alison, she was uber fun. And he could tell, that she would make a good investigator. Obviously she was passionate about it, as she was in another team. Alison even set up cameras around her own house, to see if she could find ghosts. Tango had never done that, he didn't grow up in a haunted place. Although, ghosts did fascinate him a lot, one of the main reasons for joining TAPS, the other being he wasn't one for a conventional job. He'd rather not introduced himself as David Tango, the lawyer, no, David Tango the paranormal investigator. So much cooler.
"Ohh okay." he laughed and smiled at her. "Audio-visual club huh? I was in that too, I found it kind of boring for a while. Until we finally started making videos, then it was really awesome." he nodded a little bit, as he looked at her. "So you like kids? Me too, they're so fun and cute. Well, if I ever get married and have a few, I'd send them to you to be evaluated." he winked at her, now he was flirting. He was before too, but it was a bit more obvious now. After his impression was done and she commented about her parents, he laughed and shrugged. "I don't get that a lot. Thanks." he smiled again.
Fe liked being here with these people. All of them were so nice, and really accepting of her and Alison. She was glad she let Alison talk her into joining, mind you it wasn't easy. But they were both well qualified for it and were both having fun, from what she could over hear between Alison and Tango. They hadn't been talking long, but there was something brewing there and it wasn't a steaming pot of coffee.
He nodded and laughed. "It is pretty awesome, we'll have to hit all the hot spots together! And see what we find." he grinned and shrugged. When she mentioned the cookie thing, he chuckled. He couldn't think of anything else and didn't want to push whatever boundaries were in place. "Alright, kiss on the cheek it is." he smiled and counted down, then took off. She called him a cheater, and he shook his head. "Not my fault you weren't ready!" he said as she caught up and they both got to the door at the same time. "Ha, we both win." he said laughing as he watched her little victory dance.
Jason was laughing the whole entire time he saw the kids playing around. He looked over at Grant who looked as if he missed his own kids, ah well they'd be back home soon. Jay was feeling a little bit of nostalgia for being young again, but oh well, he would get over it and he loved his job. Plus he had some of the best employees ever, so there wasn't much to complain about.
Fe shook her head at Alison and Tango, they were spazzes. And totally meant for each other, they both had that same off-the-wall, yet fun personality that everyone got along with. When Steve looked at her, she looked away and coughed as Kris said something about the place being beautiful. "Yes, lovely." she agreed with a small smile as Steve winked, she smiled and shook her head at him. "Yes, we are." she said walking up next to Steve while Dustin followed Kris, as they were taking the walk through.

Alison loved being around Fe. She was shyer than most people that Alison knew, and Fe did need a good outgoing friend who would get her out of her shell especially in the rough and tough of New York. New York gets a reputation for being rude, and tough-shelled. Especially down in the New York City area as well as the surrounding areas like Long Island, like from where Alison came from.
She also liked Tango too. And you can definitely see that she loved to flirt, albeit she wasn't that great at it, but she was still learning. She loved being an investigator. She was the type to look things up for hours in a library or on the computer until she got the answer that she needed. She was the type who lived for adventures and ghost hunting was definitely an adventure. Also ALison like the aspect of having a double life. Child psychologist by day, Ghost Hunter by night.
Alison laughed. "I liked it until my advisor left me, and we got a new advisor who made us do everything and she did nothing." She sighed frustratedly as she ran her fingers through her hair. "It was three years ago, and I was the President of the club. Hah." She puffed her chest out with a grin. She nodded with a grin. "I can see you being a dad. Holding a toddler in one arm, holding the hand of another in the other hand. How cuute." She teased, a grin on her face. Alison wrinkled her nose at his comment that he didn't get that comment a lot. "Why not? You're nice, sweet, smart, have a sense of adventure. My parents like that." She said with a laugh.
Steve chuckled as he watched Tango and ALison run down the dirt road, and up the stairs and down to the door where they were leaning against. "Wow." He clapped with a grin. "Good job. You guys have now reached the mental age of six." Steve commented cheekily as he looked over at Felicia with a grin again. She was too cute. He smiled to himself. He pointed at her with a finger and turned his hand around and then made a small motion that meant, "Come here." Steve kept a huge smile on his face the whole time.
Grant smiled watching the kids run over to the stairs and then up the stairs and onto the porch and over to the door where they were standing at. "Woah there! Slow down!" Grant laughed out, watching Tango and Alison. Ah the kids. Grant pouted slightly. He missed his little kids at home. They're probably having dinner, right now. He thought to himself with a small sigh.
Alison danced around and then stopped. She grinned at Tango. "Okay you have to keep your promise." She tapped her cheek with a cheeky grin towards him. "Come on Tangooo." She teased with a small laugh as she dragged out his name. ALison really did like Tango. At first it was a celebrity crush, because she never thought that she would ever meet him. And now she did, and wow. She likes him even more now.

Alison was the best person to be around, when walking the streets of New York. People were rude and she could give people an attitude to match, what they dished out. It was funny to see her get New Yorker out there, but Fe liked it. She needed that, as she was generally a nice person, and rarely rude. Although if pissed off enough, she could lash out.
Tango had never met a girl like Alison before, well he hadn't met many girls in general. This job took up a lot of time, plus working during the day at a local diner, it didn't leave much time for dating. Let alone flirting. He felt refreshed when meeting Alison, her personality was so ebullient, he couldn't help but like her. There was something different about her, and he liked that. But was there a chance of a relationship? He wasn't sure, but he couldn't wait to find out.
"Ohh, yuck. Well my advisor didn't trust us or something, because he never let us touch the cameras until everything was in order." Tango shrugged and nodded at her. It sucked, but he ended up liking the class in the end, it was informative. "President of the club? Wait, three years ago? So practically fresh out of high school? I so thought you were older than... nineteen I'm guessing... you seem more mature than a teenager." he teased and winked at her. He did think she was older, but that was okay with him. Age was just a number right?
Fe laughed at what Steve said about them reaching the mental age of six. She watched Tango frown at him, and she laughed more, shaking her head. She could tell, they were in for a good night. When Steve gave her the 'come hither' motion, she walked over to where he was standing and smiled at him. "Yes, Steve?" she tilted her head, looking at him through her baseball cap.
Jay looked at Grant and could see he missed his family. At least with TAPS, it was easier to work at night, because then you'd only miss dinner at home. Sadly, when it took them out of state, they'd miss a lot. Then again, they did get to plan it around special events like holidays and birthdays. He wouldn't miss one of his kids' birthdays for the life of him, and neither would Grant. He sighed a little, then motioned for Grant to get going up the stairs.
"What? I thought we agreed that the winner gets a kiss. And seeing as we tied, either you give me one in return, or the deal's off." he said with a smirk on his face. Looking around, he noticed people were already pairing up. He was glad Felicia was with Steve, they looked good together, plus he wanted to hang out with Alison. When she spoke again, he turned and looked at her. Tango shook his head and folded his arms across his chest. "Nope, a deal's a deal."

Alison liked Fe's attitude. Most people in New York are rude, and she had to learn about that the hard way. Living in it. She acted more mature than her friends in college, and that resulted in not having many friends because she would rather spend her free time being sober rather than smoking and drinking at parties. She was pretty much a "straightedge" person, and would like to keep it that way. Most of her friends didn't have any awareness of her feelings, so Alison would sometimes shut herself away from them.
She also really likes Tango. He was a lot different from the other guys that she had met. Most of the guys just wanted her for her body, not because of her personality or her mind, and that just irritated Alison to no end. But Tango really truly wanted to get to know her as a person, but it made it so much better for her because he liked to flirt with her back.
Alison laughed with a pout at the end. "Awh. That sucks. Hah. Yeah. I'm nineteen. Turning twenty soon." Seeing that it was only October 2nd, a Friday. Her birthday was that Tuesday, October 6th. Woot. Alison couldn't wait to be a twenty-year old. Hah. How weird. Alison blushed at his wink. "Yeah, my maturity got me into a lot of trouble during my freshman year at college." She said, scratching her head and giving him a small smile that clearly meant, "you dont know half of the story."
Steve grinned when Fe laughed at his comment. But when Alison and Tango both frowned at him, he chucked even more. He liked to poke fun at Tango at times, and Tango liked to poke fun at him at times. Just like when he would freak out about a spider heading his way, Tango would tease him about it at first, but then try to kill it for Steve. Steve thought that was rather nice. He grinned, beckoning Fe over. "Hello." He simply said with a laugh. "You're supposed to be here for the walk-through." He added with a small nod.
Grant nodded and followed Jay up the stairs into the main lobby of the place. "Guys! Come on!" Grant called over his shoulder as he heard the footsteps of Fe, Steve, Kris, Tango, Alison, Dustin and other cameramen and crew all following after the two leaders. Or the big Cheeses of the group. Grant stopped in the main lobby, letting everyone spilled out around them to look at the owner. Grant took in the sights of the lobby. It had an antique feeling. The stairs that take you up to the higher floors of the building were wooden, mohogany with a carpeted floor. And each detail of the place was carefully designed so it fit the hotel perfectly. It had an old-time feel to it, like it hasn't been changed in years except for the modernization of televisions and computers.
"What? I did. You give me a kiss on the cheek. I give you a kiss on the cheek." Alison said with a laugh as they were the last two to walk up the stairs. She then looked around to make sure that no one was watching but Tango, but leaned in and kissed his cheek before heading up the stairs. She then didn't hear steps behind her. She turned around and smiled at Tango. "What?" She asked with a grin on her face, her green eyes twinkling with mirth.
