I do not own Beetlejuice... I'm just an old fan.
The girl who was juiced (just a working title)
Chapter I: New beginnings
Lydia Deetz hadn't seen Beetlejuice since she was 21. That was 16 years ago. She now had a daughter and a life she was trying to move on with. Her fiance Allan was very nervous like her father but he was sweet, handome, responsible, caring… the kind of guy Lydia wanted in her life and she couldn't stop staring into his deep dark eyes and thinking about how lucky she was. Most of her life was spent with Beetlejuice but who would live with someone so irresponsible that would get her drunk and knocked up. Not that Lydia didn't love her daughter, Briana, or Beetlejuice for that matter. But she just regretted that night and realized she was too old for ghosts and the supernatural. She needed a normal down to earth guy like Allan Swartz.
Allan: What are you thinking about, Babes?
Lydia: I'm sorry what did u just say?
Allan: I asked you what you were thinking about, Lyds.
Lydia: Did you just call me Lyds and Babes?
Allan: They are just pet names. But if you don't want me to call you that… that's ok.
Lydia: I was just thinking about Briana. You know, she's been talking about her father a lot lately. I don't know how to talk to her about him.
Allan: I don't you think you've ever mentioned him before.
Lydia: Well, BJ and I had a falling out 16 years ago. And he's not exactly a man I want my daughter exposed to… he's very irresponsible.
Allan: I see. Well, I guess now isn't a good time to ask you.
Lydia: Ask me, what?
Allan: (gets down on one knee) Lydia Deetz, will you marry me?
Lydia: Yes… yes I will. But I do need to talk to Briana first.
Allan: I understand.
(Meanwhile at the Deetz house)
Briana: (on the phone) Hey, Roger… no way… no way… no freakin' way! How could she possibly kiss Aaron Bewster … eww! No one is that desperate… I would never! I'm too in love with you, Babes…. Yea just a new nickname I though up… well ok… I won't call you that any…
Voice: Babes… hello? Are you here? Why is it so dark hello?
Briana: Roger, I'll call you back. Hello? Hello?
Voice: Babes, this isn't funny. How many times do I have to say I'm sorry.
(Briana follows the voice to her room)
It can't be coming from the mirror.
Vioce: Babes? Come on, Babes… you know I hate begging.
(She uncovers the mirror that had a black sheet over it)
Finally, seeing reason. Lyds. So, how about you let me out so we can talk about this?
Briana: Who the hell the are you?
Beetlejuice: Lydia Deetz, I'm not kidding about this let me out!
Briana: You think I'm Lydia Deetz?
Beetlejuice: I think I'd know you… 16 years doesn't change to much.
Briana: Actually… a lot of things do change but example… I'm not Lydia Deetz and I don't know what you want with her but I'm not letting you take her… I've seen poltergeist… you want kill us all.
Beetlejuice: As fun as the would be to attempt, kid. No.
Briana: You're a ghost I can't believe you… my god I'm going insane I'm talking to a ghost! I can't deal with this I'm going to bed… go haunt somewhere else
(recovers the mirror)
Beetlejuice: Hey… come on back here… kid… come back here… O screw it!
(Beetlejuice leaves)
(Briana goes to bed)
(Lydia and Allan enter the house)
Lydia: Allan. This night was completely amazing I can't remember having so much fun in years.
Allan: You and BJ never did this?
Lydia: He was never a very good dancer he'd keep stepping on my feet.
Allan: O… well I'm glad u enjoyed yourself honey.
Lydia: I'm gonna go check on Briana.
Allan: No, you sit right down and enjoy yourself I'll check on her.
Lydia: Alright.
(Allan goes into Briana's room and notices she is floating above her bed)
Allan: O my god! I… I…
(goes back down stairs)
Lydia: Is she alright.
Allan: Fine.
Lydia: Are you?
Allan: What are you talking about?
Lydia: You look like you saw a ghost.
Allan: No… everything is fine.
Lydia: I don't believe that I'm going up to check on Briana myself.
Allan: No… she's fine
Lydia: I'm going
(She goes up to Briana's room and opens the door and then closes it as quickly)
Beetlejuice…
(She goes downstairs)
Why did you let me go up there?
Allan: I warned you… your daughter is floating
Lydia: I'm sure it's nothing.
Allan: Lydia, she was floating!!
Lydia: I know Allan, I saw her!
