Even though the ghostbusters team broke up quite a few years ago, once every month, the four of them would meet up with their families and enjoy a day together.
On one Saturday the group, which consisted of eight adults, two teenagers, and seven kids, were deciding what they should do.
"The museum," suggested Lila Spengler.
"The park," added Rhonda and Gerald Zeddmore.
"Coney Island," said Peter Venkman Jr.
" What about the fun zone," asked Tabitha Venkman.
"The zoo," spoke Andrew Stantz.
"The arcade," suggested Oscar Barrett-Venkman.
"Whatever any picks I'm fine with," said Jessica Carmine-Zeddmore.
"Same with me," added Christopher Carmine-Zeddmore.
"That's a lot of choices," said Winston with a chuckle.
"Looks like we have to take a vote," added Ray
"Wait a minute, we always rotate every month which family picks the suggestion," Egon pointed out.
"So, who's month is it then?" asked Peter.
"I believe it's Ray's turn."
"Looks like we're going to the zoo," said Ray.
Andrew was very happy about that.
The other kids were fine with the deision as well.
"By the way Ray, watch out for the skunks," Peter laughed.
"What's "uncle" Peter talking about papa?" asked Andrew.
"Uh, it's a long story.
A long embarrassing story," Ray answered.
"I want to hear it."
"Me to," Rhonda and Gerald said at the same time.
"I'd like to hear the story to," added Lila.
"I wanna hear it," said Peter Jr.
"Same with me," added Tabitha.
"That makes three of us," spoke Oscar.
"I'm sure it's not that embarrassing "uncle" Ray," said Jessica.
"Believe me it is," said Ray.
"Exactly what did happen "uncle" Ray?" asked Christopher.
Ray let out a deep breath and said, "OK you all talked me into it.
I'll tell the story.
This all happened before a lot of you kids were born, with the exception of Oscar and before Winston reunited with your aunt.
In fact, it took place a few months after we opened again for business."
Nearly nine years earlier.
The city of New York was having one of it's hottest days in history.
Although summer had now made way for fall, the temperatures were still in the high 80's.
"I don't understand it, it's early October and it still feels like July outside," said Peter, who was working on a plug-in air conditioner.
"The term is called Indian summer Venkman, and it's actually not unusually for it to happen this time of year," answered Egon, who was tuning a PKE meter.
"Let's just hope it cools down soon, running around in this terrible heat with a heavy proton pack on is no day in the park," said Winston, who along with Ray was working on Ecto-1.
"You can say that again.
Plus, with the car's air conditioning running, it's eating up the gas," Ray pointed out.
"Well, gentlemen and lady, Peter said to his fellow ghostbusters and Jeanie, the team's receptionist, No need to worry about frying in the firehouse.
I made some adjustments to the AC."
He then plugged in the device, and flicked the switch on.
When that happened, the fan blew air at a high, powerful speed, blowing papers and other objects around in sight.
"Shut it off!" Everyone shouted to Peter at once.
Peter tried to make his way back to the fan to shut it off, but the wind was so strong, it knocked him to the ground.
Luckily, Egon knelt behind the fan, and pulled the plug out of the socket, causing it to stop blowing hard air.
"I was going to do that," said Peter.
"Sure, yeah right," said Ray and Winston.
Egon was giving Jeanie a hand picking up her paperwork off the floor, when the phone rang.
She thanked him for the help and went to see who was calling.
"Ghostbusters.
Yes, how many?
Where?
Yes, I'll tell them.
Thank you, good-bye."
Jeanie hung up the phone and Winston asked, "What do we have Jeanie?"
"Spooks at Central Park," she answered.
"We're one our way," spoke Ray.
The ghostbusters quickly changed into their uniforms, loaded the car up with their proton packs and other equipment, and headed off to their assignment.
When they arrived at their destination, the team saw crowds of people running amoke in all directions.
"Looks like we're at the right place," said Peter.
"Come on, let's go check it out," said Winston.
Equipped with their packs on, the ghostbusters went straight to work.
"According to the meter, higher readings are heading westward," Egon pointed out, as he checked on a PKE meter.
"Spengler, you can't really based that off the meter," spoke Peter.
However, sure enough when the team headed to the westside of the park, they could see that more chaos was happening in the direction by the zoo.
"Any more comments Venkman?"
"Let's just bust some ghosts."
"I don't see any," Winston pointed out.
At that moment, a group, about seven class five roaming vapors flew right passed the team, as the ghouls chased a few tourists.
The ghostbusters went after the ghosts.
"Beatrice, I can't believe you talked me into taking a trip to New York City," said one of the tourists that was being chased, which was a man in is mid sixties, who had a southern accent.
"Oh come on Hank, how was I suppose to know the city was full of ghosts.
The travel agent didn't bring it up when we booked out tickets," said the other tourist, a woman of the same age, who also had a southern accent as well as she tried to make light of the situation.
"Between the crowds of the city, who the people act here and now the ghosts, I've decided.
On our next vacation, we're going to club med!"
"Freeze ghosts!" Peter shouted.
That caught the ghouls' attention.
"Stand back folks, we don't want to hit you," Ray warned the tourists.
However, just as the ghostbusters were prepared to aim, the spirits took.
"What's this now pajama police after ghosts.
Now I've seen everything, and it's only our first day here" said the husband.
"Let's get back to the hotel Hank.
If we hurry, we can catch the earliest flight out to club med," said the wife.
"You've read my mind Beatrice."
And with that, the tourists took off in one direction, leaving Central Park, while the ghostbusters headed the other way in search of the ghouls.
