Chapter 21: Double Date
"There is no such thing as 'Love' in my line of work."
This was said by Deader Alive and Prudence couldn't understand why it bothered her. Through time she developed a certain appear to him and she was beginning to fall in love, even though she wouldn't admit it. So why did it bother her that he doesn't believe in love? Prudence stood at Lydia's house trying on several dresses until she found one suitable for a casual date. "What do you think?" She asked Bertha who was searching for hair ribbons.
Bertha rather liked pastel pink, it brought out the emerald of Prudence's eyes and the the soft ruby of her hair. It also complimented the thin darker pink and yellow vertical lines of the skirt. "You look great." She smiled and then wrapped a pastel yellow ribbon in the hair. "Now the look is complete."
Claire, in her mutated form, sat across the room as she watched the two. "How does that runt get to be courted?" She thought bitterly.
Prudence noticed the rotten mean stare of the bore-like girl through the reflection of the mirror. "Bertha," She whispered "that girl looks so mean to us. Why?"
Bertha looked through the mirror's reflection. "She been though a lot and is probably in deep thought." She replied.
Lydia walked into the room, wearing a dark violet dress. "Are you ready Prudence?"
"Yes." Prudence answered, beaming in anticipation.
Bertha envied the two, but only just a little. She wanted to experience her first real courtship. Just once a normal evening under the stars while being held in the loving arm of her date. "Don't forget to take an umbrella... Just in case." She suggested and Lydia and Prudence grabbed umbrellas, a thick shawl, and blankets. "I made snacks and drinks." She informed and gave them a basket.
The front door bell rang and Bertha answered to rather different version of Beetlejuice. The wild strands of his blonde was now combed back and the dusty usual fashion of his tan pants and dark maroon shirt was now a nicely tailored black and white vertical stripped suit. "Beetle, please come inside." Bertha greeted with a smile then escorted him to the parlor. "Lydia will be out in a moment. Would you like something to drink?"
Beetlejuice would've normally requested whiskey but he didn't want the risk of being accused as a drunk. He thought for a moment, knowing damn well he may need a little something to ease the pain of the presence of that cyclops. "Something strong." He replied.
'Something Strong'... Bertha's time as barmaid proved that there were a wide variety of that. "What kind of strong?" She questioned.
Beetle looked completely puzzled. Other than his two favorites he never cared for details and whiskey was whiskey to him. "Surprise me." He simply replied.
Bertha combined a sweet red table wine with a mixture of a freshly squeezed grape and orange with a twist of lime. She gave it to Beetlejuice and he studied it with a pleased look. "Wow, that was tasty." He commented. "Is that something you learned at the Broth-" Beetlejuice stopped right there as he knew he was about to drift into uncomfortable territory.
Bertha noticed too but she didn't take offense nor say anything. She placed a finger over her lips and "Shhh…." She whispered followed with a wink.
Beetlejuice smirked and nodded in understanding. He liked that girl, she knew how things worked. He looked to the swelled belly of her pregnancy and pointed. "When is it due?" He questioned.
"I don't know." She replied.
The door bell rang once again and this time Kevin answered the door, and there stood Deader Alive. He wore his usual black leather jacket, white tank top, and rugged smokey black denim.
"Must you always dress for hunting?" Kevin asked sarcastically with a raised a brow. "Of course you do know that you're going on a date, right?"
This child, this strong spiteful spirited child reminded Deader of how he was as a boy. "I don't only dress to hunt, I dress to kill too." He said eying the boy.
Kevin wasn't impressed nor stunned by the Cyclops one bit and so narrowed his eyes to him. "Sure… dress improperly, just don't be an asshole."
Yes indeed, this spiteful child was like him as a boy. "I'll keep that in mind." Deader replied.
Lydia and Prudence descended the stairs. They both tried to hide away their blushing, but that failed, their cheeks were just rosey as the flower itself. "Ok, let's do this." Deader said and then grabbed Prudence by the arm.
Kevin gave Deader a hard kick to the ankle and Deader give Kevin a mean growling stare. "You're supposed to greet your date by placing a kiss on her hand like a gentleman, you idiot." Kevin spat.
"Kevin." Bertha scolded and then looked to Deader "I'm sorry about that," She said with such bashful embarrassment "Kevin is a handful at times." And with that, Beetlejuice escorted Lydia and Deader escorted Prudence out the door and to the carriage. Bertha turned to Kevin and the bore-like girl. "It's just us now."
**The Evening Ride **
Lydia sat next to Beetle in the back seat of the carriage as Prudence sat with Deader in the front as he handled the horse. They rode along the main road toward Central Clock Town. "How about we see what's at theater." Beetlejuice suggested.
"At this hour? They're likely to have Can-Can girls." Lydia replied.
Beetle grinned, the thought of a dozen Can-Can girls holding their skirts up as they kick their deliciously slender legs high in the air while getting a peek of their lacy panties. Lydia noticed his sly horny dog grin and nudged him in the ribs, staring him with a deep disapproved frown. "Damn," Beetle thought taken aback "I can't even have a pleasant thought."
"I rather have a simple evening out." Prudence said.
"I agree." Deader said and his approval made Prudence beam even more.
After much back and forth about where to go, they decided to visit the Village Lake. Lydia and Prudence set up the picnic under a tree while Beetlejuice unfolded the mosquito tent and Deader tied the horses. Prudence arranged the pillows against the tree and Lydia opened the picnic basket. Lydia was amazed to see all the food Bertha had packed for them; Ham and Chicken sandwiches, large wrapped deli pickles, grapes, cut buttered carrots, freshly squeezed lemonade, and jellied tarts.
"Wow," Prudence awed, surprised as she too looked inside the picnic basket. "How did Bertha get all of that? I thought the food was rationed."
"The ration officially starts tomorrow." Lydia informed and then looked to Beetlejuice. "What kind of sandwich would you like, chicken or Ham?"
"It doesn't matter to me, Babes." Beetlejuice replied. Lydia handed the ghost a sandwich and he looked inside the sandwich then looked back to her. "What, no mayo?" Lydia giggled a bit and snuggled with him under a blanket.
Prudence looked to Deader as she ate. He appeared to be in deep thought as he stared into the distance. It was like he knew what was happening on the other side of the world. "Deader, what are you thinking about?" She asked.
Deader smelled blood, fresh torn blood, followed with the distant sound of wolves. He knew that they were no where near them by their scent. Wolves traveled in packs and he would often roam with them. "It's nothing." He replied and Prudence cuddled against his arm. He looked at her and raised a brow but said nothing.
"Why doesn't he like me?" Prudence wondered in thought. "What's wrong with me?" She wanted to be close to him, to be attractive to him, but it just wasn't working out.
Lydia caught notice of a rabbit that hopped into their tent to nibble on a stray carrot. "Aww…" She whispered as she pointed to the creature. Beetlejuice peered to the creature but paid more attention to Lydia as she cuddled against him.
Prudence sighed lovingly. "Do you see the rabbit, Deader?" She whispered. He didn't reply, his eye was locked on the creature as his hunger grew wild with each passing moment. He quickly snatched the creature and snapped its neck. Lydia and Prudence stared to Deader with wide shocked eyes as he peeled the fur off the rabbit just like the skin of a banana. Deader buried his face into the creatures fresh, tearing apart its guts as he ate. The girls heard every flesh curdling bite and slurp from his teeth.
Deader then took notice of Lydia and Prudence and their shocked speechless expressions. Perhaps he was being rude. "Would you like some rabbit?" He offered while holding the dripping cracked neck of the creature toward them. Lydia and Prudence fluttered their eyes and fainted. "More for me then." He shrugged and continued to eat.
Beetle just shook his head. "Great job Romeo."
**Meanwhile at Lydia's house…
Bertha cleaned the house. It was the least she could do for Lydia allowing her to stay there. Kevin was assigned to keep Susan entertained. He looked inside the cabinet for something they could play. "Would you like to play chess?" He asked. "How about a card game?" Claire wanted nothing to do with it. She stared into the fireplace, wishing for a way to change back into her normal beautiful self. Kevin saw something when he looked at Susan. His powers allowed him to see images of Mr. Brewster but nothing more. "Hmm…" He pondered but didn't say anything. Whatever the matter with this bore-like girl, has to do something with Mr. Brewster.
There was a knock at the door. Kevin answered and to his surprise, it was Donny. "Hi Godfather." He greeted and allowed the ghost to enter. "I need to speak to your mother, it's important." Said, Donny. Just as Kevin was on his way to retrieve her, she entered through the reception archway. "Bertha, I must speak to you." Donny said and then took notice of the strange girl by the fireplace.
Bertha escorted Donny inside the study where they could speak in private. Donny gave Bertha the key to his house in the forest. "Kevin has a key and you should have one too. Furthermore, I plan to tell my parents about our engagement."
"Engagement? He expressed an interest of marriage but he never actually proposed, unless… his confession was the proposal." Bertha thought. She never felt worthy to become a wife, especially not now in a traditional since. She wanted better for Donny and has often thought of ways to convince him to change his mind, but she needed more time to plan. "Don't do that! You should wait until the war is over." said, Bertha.
"That's why we should marry now. I'm being shipped off to war and as a soldier's wife, you'll be taken care of." Donny explained and then touched his hands upon Bertha's stomach. The baby within was moving, kicking happily. "I would like to wed before the baby is born."
Bertha felt sad. She knew Kevin and the new born inside her didn't belong to Donny, even though he treated them as such, but she didn't feel worthy to become his wife; and she was going to prove it. "But it's not right," She began "It's not right to give me such love and attention when I haven't shown you any in return." She said and reached inside his pants and began fondling his privates. Then with her slender finger, she penetrated his insides, pressing lightly against his prostate; all of which she learned servicing at the Brothel.
Donny held Bertha in his arms, softly caressing her delicate skin with his hands. The feeling, this odd expression of love, was of course new like all else; but he didn't hold her back. He softly placed kisses along her neck, groaning from the strange intense sensation. He held her tighter, holding back the urge to climax, but he did not hold back the soft lustful groans he released in her ears. Bertha didn't expect that. She seen many girls in the Brothel do the same trick to other men and they have been knocked to the floor. "Maybe I'm not pressing hard enough." She thought then proceeded to press harder as she took his member into her mouth. Donny twitched and shook followed by a release of his seed. Bertha didn't swallow the seed nor did she spit it out, she dared to kiss him with his own seed leaking into his mouth. "That should convince him not go along with marriage with me." She thought.
"So, you'll into that weird stuff," Donny began as he smeared away the remaining drips of his own seed from his lips "Perhaps we can speak further about it durin' our honeymoon."
Bertha was shocked, completely shocked by how calm Donny was. "Whu... What?" She uttered but didn't mean to utter so loudly. She tried to keep the feeling all inside but that drastically failed. "You… You... You know about that?"
"Please remember that I'm a soilder for the King's army," He reminded, holding her closer in his arms "I have heard nasty tales from the classy privileged gentlemen of Clock Town, to horny swamp dogs of the Docks."
Bertha knew that this was true, men do gossip just as much as women. "What else have you heard from these men?"
"They gloat among themselves, I don't listen to everythin' they say." He confessed. "But I've seen you, and I know you fancy them bad boys." Bertha thought of Scuzzo the Clown, Bartholomew Batt, and Mayor Maynot; and yeah, it couldn't be denied, each are bad in their own right. She blushed heavily and tried to hide it, but it failed. Donny leaned to her ear. "I can be a bad boy too," He whispered then licked her earlobe "and when we're married and the baby is born, I'll show you how."
Bertha's mouth dropped, Donny was never known to ever say such things, or have such a seductive lustful tone. She nearly fainted but stumbled. Donny caught her and laid her on the couch. "Bertha," He said then leaned to her, placing a kiss on her lips "I want you."
Bertha was too stunned to say anything, she was still in shock by what happened, and after a moment she completely fell out. Donny covered her with a nearby blanket and kissed her once more. "Good night, my love."
**Outside…
Beetle and Deader looked at each other with deadly stares. This could be an opportunity for Deader to catch Beetlejuice, but that would leave the girls unprotected from the other nightly predators. And this would be a great opportunity for Beetlejuice to use his magic against Deader, but his magic is known to deflect on others and he didn't want to risk any happening to Lydia.
"So…" Beetlejuice spoke to break the ice of conversation "Are you going to get lucky tonight?"
Deader formed a piercing stare, it was the kind of stare that read through ones soul. That dirty minded ghost was referring to sex with Prudence, but Deader's focus was strictly on Beetlejuice's capture. "My luck may strike in a different way." He replied.
"Do you have a way to wake the girls or are gonna gross them out some more?" Beetlejuice sarcastically questioned.
Deader took smelling salts from his utility belt and open them, waving it in front of Lydia's and Prudence's nose. They coughed as they woke and Beetlejuice looked to Lydia. "Are you alright?"
"I believe so." Lydia said as she got up from the ground. She then gave Deader such a pitch. "You didn't have to kill the rabbit or be such a cannibal about it." She spat.
Deader gave the dark haired girl a sly grin. Prudence became a little envious. She always known Deader fancied Lydia's aggressive behavior, a trait she doesn't have. "Lets just go home now." She said.
"Excellent suggestion." Deader agreed as he stared directly at Beetlejuice "I have other matters to attend to."
"I bet you do." Beetle thought, but instead said. "Yeah, me too."
The four rode back to Lydia's house, this time with both girls riding in the back of the carriage. "Do you think I should kiss Deader?" Prudence whispered.
Lydia gave Prudence an odd stare. "But he still has rabbit flesh in between his teeth." She replied in a frown of disgust.
But that was the least of Prudence's worry. She wanted Deader to fancy her and not Lydia, and she wanted to give him a real kiss to sway his thoughts away from her. Now in the pathway which leads to front door, Beetle tried to give Lydia a kiss on the lips but his attempt was blocked by her hand. "You agreed we would do this the traditional way." She reminded him.
"The traditional way. No kiss on the first date, at least not on the lips." Beetlejuice thought then leaned once more and planted a kiss on her forehead.
Deader however wasn't so traditional. He grabbed Prudence and gave her an open mouth kiss, which surprised her seeing as she was planning to give him the kiss. The taste of warm chewed flesh was too much and Prudence coughed up what seemed to be a chewed rabbit's gut. "Eww…" Lydia frowned in disgust.
Beetlejuice raised a brow to Deader. "Ok Romeo," he spoke in a sarcastic tone "Let's not make the girls sick on their first date... again" Deader snorted in response and Lydia and Prudence waved to their dates before they entered the house.
Bertha, who just woke from a previous faint, approached the two with a shocked expression. "Look at what Donny did to me." She said and then showed them a pure black gold ring which was placed on her left ring finger. "What I am going to do?" She panicked.
Kevin entered the reception area wondering what the fuss was all about. He saw Lydia and Prudence were overly happy but his mother standing there sad and confused. "What's going on?" He asked as he approached them.
"It seems that your mother is engaged." Lydia informed, gazing upon the well known to her Juice Family ring. Kevin ran to his mother and gave her a big hug as Claire widened her eyes in disbelief. "Why would anyone marry a whore?" She spat in thought.
"But…" Bertha couldn't believe any of this. She expressed her concerns to Lydia and Prudence and now they're celebrating. "But…"
**The Woods**
Beetlejuice roamed the woods in his invisible form. He knew Deader might come after him at any given moment. He floated instead of walking to avoid crumbling dry leaves that lay on the ground. He floated high and low, making sure to change pattern every so often. "Surprise Beetlejuice." Deader spoke right before he sprung from a tree and stumped him to the ground. He gazed upon a much surprised ghost. "Your invisible form can not hide your stench, the stench of a murderous coward."
Beetle was taken so much by surprise that he involuntary returned to visible form. "Ok, you got me, now what?" He asked and Deader withdrew his sword and held it to him. "Oh, I see…You want the reward for my capture."
"I wanted to capture you for bringing war upon my Village," Deader informed "The reward is just a bonus."
"Look you," Beetle spat "I didn't bring war nowhere alright, I'm just a thief and a prankster, that's it."
Deader didn't care for Beetle's excuses and quickly flung his sword to cut his throat but the ghost faded completely.
"Too slow, Cyclops." Beetlejuice teased.
Deader removed a glove which contained magic from his pocket. He slid it on his hand and focused all his concentrated energy to sense ghostly movement. Beetlejuice floated right behind Deader and attempted to scare him using his best look, but it didn't work. The Cyclops flipped Beetlejuice over his shoulder using the magic glove.
"Too pathetic, Ghost." Deader teased.
Beetlejuice turned into a giant snake, the very creature Lydia fears the most, and slithered around Deader making hissing noise.
"Oh how nice," Deader smiled as he stood steady with sword in hand "I always wanted snake skinned fashions." He commented and then twirled around just as Beetle slithered around him. The swift movement of the Cyclops and the snake were evenly matched, but Deader was clever and his sword was specially crafted to hold a potion that would slow the movement of any ghost regardless of their experience with powers. As he swung his sword small fragments of dust would touch upon Beetle's long snake form.
After a while, Beetle noticed a slight change in movement. He wasn't as quick as Deader anymore and he moved until he slowed completely, then it forced him to return to normal shape. "Damn." He spat. Deader quickly used this distraction to slice Beetle across the back and stabbed through the chest. Beetle cringed in deep pain as he fell to the ground. No matter how much Beetle tried, or how much power he used, the blade of the sword couldn't be removed from his chest. "Shit."
The sword held power, much more than to simply slow the movement of ghost, the metal of the sword was crafted with toxin which if enabled by the owner can exorcise the ghost, an act which would cause any ghost to immediately go into The Lost souls Sanctum. Beetle definitely didn't want to go there, the last time he was there, it took him nearly a decade to get out. He decided to reason with the Cyclops. "What did I ever to do to your Village besides take a few pieces of gold?"
"You impregnated the virgins and married women of my tribe and brought war upon sacred land." Deader spat.
"The women gave themselves to me… willingly, I didn't do anything forceful to them." Beetle spat. "And two, what war? I didn't know anything about any war. I just wondered around until I found a place to rest."
Deader just gazed upon the ragged form of a ghost. "And do you spill your seed everywhere you rest?" He questioned.
"If they let me, yes." Beetle replied then looked to the Cyclops. "Look, what are you bringing me in for anyway? Sex that was completely consensual, war I didn't know a thing about, or theft?"
Deader couldn't argue with sex upon the women of his tribe, he took witness to the women giving themselves to Beetlejuice. Although he would never place himself inside a married woman, Deader knew there was no law against it. As for the virgins, even during his travels, Deader couldn't resist the scent of a willing virgin. "I will have to further invest your war crime but I can definitely haul your ass for theft."
As promised, Deader took Beetlejuice to a place the ghost dreaded the most, even more so than Sandworm Saturn. This place was located on high mountain with white clouds for streets and a large red and white stripped candy canned castle at the far end of the land. "Oh, no, not there." Beetle pleaded.
When they reached the castle a short girl with blonde curly hair stood waiting at a tall candy colored gates. "Ah Beetlejuice," she greeted with a smile too sweet for her own good "It's nice to see you again."
"You must be Little Miss Warden." Deader spoke.
Miss Warden performed a curtsy as she gave a smile. "That I am, and you must be Mr. Deader Alive." Just then two large teddy bears took Beetlejuice inside the castle. Then she looked to Deader "Don't worry, I will immediately notify the prince about your efforts."
"Good." Deader simply replied.
"If you are tired you're welcome to stay." Miss Warden offered.
Yes, of course Deader was tired but the candy colored streets and the creepy smiles of the people made him build the strength. "No thanks." He replied and walked away.
Miss Warden entered the castle and into the room Beetlejuice was strapped in. She removed both blue colored doll eyes from her sockets and replaced them with red. She then smeared way her soft pink lipstick and reapplied it with black. She turned to Beetle with a giggling mad crazy look on her face. "My favorite toy has returned for me to play with," she smiled "Isn't that nice?"
Beetle hated the candy cane coated hell. Everyone was under some sort of control to keep them nice and show creepy smiles. Everyone dresses in cute sailor style doll clothes and eats nothing but cookies and milk.
Miss Warden removed a spiky thick candy cane colored rod from the cabinet. She licked the tip of the rod and it caused her tongue bleed a little. She walked over to Beetle, gazing over his bent over form. "Do you remember our favorite game?" She asked then snapped her fingers and two large teddy bears ripped Beetle from all his clothing. "Do you remember how much fun we had?" She questioned then gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Beetle bit his bottom lip as the candy cane colored rod forced its way inside his rear. The rod wasn't lubricated, it was just touch by the tongue of Miss Warden. He cringed in pain as each dry spiky inch climbed its way inside. "Do you know how much I missed my favorite toy?" Miss Warden asked then gave him another kiss. "I missed you very much."
"Let's play 'Tea House'." Beetle suggested as he grunted in pain. Tea house was a trick he used centuries before.
"No more tricks," She cooed "we'll play another game."
"What kind of game?" He grunted in pain then began a mental plea. "Please don't say 'Dolly'… Please don't say 'Dolly'… Please don't say 'Dolly'." He knew that harsh game would cast a spell which would alter him to epic proportions.
"I think I'll leave in first game inside you..." Miss Warden replied as she formed a wick grin "As we play 'Dolly'."
Just then, Beetle's blonde hair grew longer and his chest grew larger as his skin developed a soft feminine touch. And he tried not for it to happen but his manhood twisted and folded painfully into womanhood. He turned to the sickly sweet sadist of a woman. "You bitch," he spat. "You –"
Miss Warden shoved and strapped a red rubber ball gag inside his mouth. "No, no, Betty," She called him the nickname she gave him when they played this game. "Don't have a potty mouth or I'll have to punish you."
"What else could she do to me?" Beetle spat in thought.
Prince Vince entered the room. "Ah Beetle, you look very stunning in your new form." He commented in a teased. Miss Warden pulled a lever to the device Beetlejuice was strapped in to make his legs spread wider for all to see his new formed privates. "Tickle, tickle…" The Prince teased with a sly smile as he tickled the sensitive parts of Beetle's girl parts.
Beetle muffled loudly through the mouth gag."What was that?" The Prince cooed then slid a finger inside of Beetle's enterance and then looked to Miss Warden. "Shall I wait a little while longer before I break his virginity?" Beetle's eyes grew wide upon hearing this and struggled and muffled as the Prince smiled and drove his finger deeper inside.
"You can play with him whenever you're ready, Your Majesty." Miss. Warden replied.
The Prince peered over and gave Beetlejuice a lustful dark stare. "Excellent."
