"Do not worry this is temporary," the witch doctor told Beetlejuice when he left for his appointment," Right now it matches your other body part."
This last part was said just loud enough that Beetlejuice could hear and it pissed him off that he couldn't do anything about it. That jackass he thought grumbling I'll get him back one of these days. Instead of wasting his time pouting he decided to put this pent up energy to better use; like formulating a plan to get back to his bride.
"Well I might as well do something that I haven't done in centuries while I think," he said aloud as he settled himself on the floor to do some sit ups.

While in the land of the living Lydia was winding down from her "reward" after getting a high score on her math test. She took a few minutes to catch her breath and went to pick up her bookbag.
"Adam, Barbara I'm going up to my room," she called on her way upstairs.
"Sure hun," they called back.
On her way to her room Lydia stopped at the den to say a quick hello to her Dad. He looked up from the floor and gave a small wave.
"Dad what happened?" she ran over to help him up
"Nothing much. Your mom just showed me her newest creation," Charles said," It was the head of that snake, you know that guy…"
Lydia knew who he was talking about and didn't ask about it. Her stepmother finally found something to inspire some of her most "intriguing" sculptures. She helped her dad up and went to her room. One thought kept niggling at the back of her mind; am I really married to a dead guy, I mean Delia and my dad can now see the Maitlands is that the reason why they can. Quickly she dismissed the thought and started her homework.
"This history homework is giving me a headache," she said after only five minutes, "I wonder what you-know-who is doing right now."
Lydia put her pencil down, sat back, and tried picturing what her "husband" was up to, mischief no doubt. She smiled to herself and went back to hitting the books.
*Yep I'm starting a new story. I always wondered if the marriage was binding at the end of Beetlejuice because the Deetzes can see the ghost couple at the end, so here's my take on it.
