The Wish List by Eoin Colfer shared by chkev

Belch and Meg Finn, her partner, attempt robbery from an old man. When he came down because of all the noise, Belch's dog bit him. Meg didn't want to kill the old man, so she made Belch call him off. After that, Belch needed to preserve his pride after a girl threatened him. His dog chased her all the way until she backed into an ally with gas tanks, and Belch caught up. after a brief conversation, he shot the gas tanks and killed both of them. Meg saw her body as she floated out of it as a spirit. Soon, she floated into a tunnel, met Belch who melded with his dog, and they separated at the end. Belch went down and Meg crashed into the Pearlies wall. She found her way into Earth and a mite gave her two rocks with spiritual residue. Belch was given a personal help hologram and was sent to stop Meg from helping the person she harmed so she would enter Satan's realm. Meg found herself in a spirit form and in Lowrie's (the old man's) house. She learned she could merge with his physical body for a while and control it with increased stamina. What would normally kill Lowrie would not now. Lowrie told her she must of been sent back for a reason, so he gave her a list of things to help him do that he regrets not doing. The first item was to kiss his friend from a long time ago. They succeeded even though Belch tried to kill Lowrie, the security guard that had to be hypnotized, and the fact the TV camera was still running. Belch was sent back to Satan after a wave of pure goodness swept him away. Second, Lowrie wanted to kick a soccer ball in Croke Park. He had to climb a giant fence but luckily Meg was there to take over and get across. Unfortunately, they were found by a security guard. When he found out Lowrie was the old person from the TV, he asked for the truth on why. They made up a quick lie and totally fooled him into getting them a soccer ball. They kicked it and left for the third task: to punch someone named Ball. When in his cottage, Lowrie was surprised when Ball apologized for making Lowrie call Ball "sir". After leaving, Meg asked if she could have that wish. She wanted to punch someone named Franco for punching her mom and stealing and selling her ring. Unfortunately, Belch already sucked the life juices out of him, so Meg got mad and threw a vase at her. the vase happened to hold her mom's ashes, and since ashes are sacred, demons are allergic. That made Belch stuck in a dying body. The last task was to spit over the cliffs of moher. it was inspired by a poem, so they drove there to spit. Unfortunately, there was a storm so it was hard to climb. Belch tracked her down and almost killed them, but ran out of energy and was back with Satan. Meg gave one rock to Franco and one to Lowrie. With that, she went to Heaven.
