Lydia sat quietly in the back seat of her parents' wagon with a small cage in her lap. Her brown eyes looked out the window where the gloomy clouds had been zipped open allowing the rain to come pouring down. Lydia turned her attention to the cage in her lap was a small white with black spotted rat who yawned on the bottom of the cage.

Lydia smiled softly looking to the rat. "We will be there soon I Promise and I know she'll let you walk around."

The rat rolled his eyes and turned his back to his to her. The rat was none other than the famous Beetlejuice. He was told by Lydia she wasn't going to be home for the summer she was going to be with a relative. Somehow he didn't know how but somehow Lydia tricked him into coming with her to this relative. With the travel they both agreed that the best way to get there was to be a rat.

When they finally reached the relatives house she headed inside. She smiled as she headed to 'her' room. She was given a room when she was spending more summers there. She placed Beetlejucie's cage on the bed and opened the door. Once the door was opened the rat seemed to disappear. One the rat disappeared the famous ghoul appeared as himself near Lydia.

"Babe I'm not staying as a Rat the whole summer." Beetlejuice looked to the cage. "I hate being caged up you know that."

Lydia shook her head. "You won't have to just tonight and tomorrow you won't have to." She saw his disapproving look; she put on her best sad puppy look," Please?"

Beetlejuice sighed. "Alright but just one if I have to do more I'm going back to the netherworld."

Lydia nodded. "Alright that's sounds fine to me. "
BettleJuice started watching Lydia unpack. "So what kind of bore are we spending the summer with?"

Lydia smirked. "Anything but, she is my cousin from my dad side. She is a gothic fashion designer." She paused when Halloween music fill threw the sigh lent house. Her eyes lit up with joy, "She's home." She ran out of the room leavening Beetlejuice sitting on her bed.

A woman smiled seeing Lydia. "Hey there's my favorite cousin. How was your trip?"
Beetlejuice sat near the door hearing the girls talked. When he heard the mention of dinner he looked to the clock in the room. It was already seven o'clock, good he thought not much longer he had to stay as a rat.

Once night fell and Lydia was fast asleep in her bed dreaming Bettlejuice sat in his cage. Normally he would be board out of his mind just waiting. But he let his mind wonder to someone who uses to call him before Lydia did.

A girl the age of sixteen sat in the woods drawing in a notebook while she waited for something. The girl turned her deep orchid color eyes looked up hearing what sounded like a sick cat's meow. She giggled softly seeing a black and white cat (some would say it was rather ugly). She moved her notebook before standing up and looked to the cat. Her midnight blue bangs fell in front of her eyes while her black hair was in a ponytail. The cat disappeared as it jumped from the tree, the girl turned when she heard a male's voice behind her once the girl turned.

Lydia's cousin Midnight threw herself into a sitting position and placed her hand on her forehead. Without turning on the light she could already tell she was pale. That face she would never forget of the man. She hadn't seen that face in ten years. Was this a nightmare? A warning? Or was it just a flash of her past? She sighed softly she knew she couldn't fall back a sleep so headed down stairs. Thankfully it was almost six so it wasn't much longer to wait.

Lydia woke up to Beetlejuice singing with the song 'Feed My Frankenstein by Alice cooper' that was playing on the radio. She couldn't help but giggle seeing a rat singing the song. She gently pulled him out of the cage and headed down stairs. She smiled when she was greeted by the smell of her cousin's famous better scotch pancakes. She walked to the kitchen and didn't see her cousin then headed towards the home office.

Lydia smiled seeing her cousin working on a corset. "That's beautiful."

Midnight peered over the corset she was working on. "Thank you Lydia." She got wide eyed when the rat sitting on Lydia's shoulder disappeared. Lydia nearly jumped out of her skin when she realized her 'rat' was gone as well.

Beetlejuice appeared between the two girls, "midnight rose?"

Midnight stood up quickly seeing Beetlejuice. "Beetlejuice!"

Lydia turned her attention from the missing rat to her cousin. "You know him?"

Midnight giggled softly, "Beetlejuice the ghost with the most. God it's been ten years since I last saw you. How have you been?"

Beetlejuice crossed his arms. "Yea ten years ago you dropped me like the pelage."

Midnight sighed. "I couldn't help it my dad sent me to a catholic school I lost everything related to the netherworld. Your summing spell, the ability to have my own room, everything. I was forced to share my room with three of the teachers.

Beetlejuice slowly let his arms drop. "So it wasn't because of me?"

Midnight shook her head. "Please you were the only reason I enjoyed dark and Halloween."

Lydia watched them thinking back to when she found the book to summon Beetlejuice. "So that was your book?"

Midnight nodded softly. "I'm glad you found it Lydia."

Lydia smiled brightly. "So can he stay please?"

Beetlejuice transformed into a cat and gave big sad eyes. "Yea please?"

Midnight picked up the now cat Beetlejuice and smiled. "Of course you can stay. But you have to behave when company is over."

Beetlejuice smiled."Totally will Rose." He nuzzled her chest slightly before jumping out of her arms and changed back to his normal form. He looked over the clothing that Midnight had made he smirked looking over the clothing. It seemed like Midnight lied it seemed that some sort of the netherworld stayed with her it showed in her fashion.

Midnight smiled going back to the corset she was working on. "Oh tomorrow night my boyfriend Mark will be coming over. He wanted to meet you."

Beetlejuice froze hearing boyfriend. But let the girls interact.

Lydia nodded. "Yea dad was saying that I should be on my best behavior when meeting Mark. " She ran her hand over one of the dresses that Midnight made. "So when is your show?"

Midnight looked to Lydia. "July sixth both of you are welcome to come with me if you want."

Lydia's eyes light up to her comment. "Really I always wanted to be in fashion. Can we really go?"

Midnight nodded again. "Yes both of you can come."

Lydia smiled and looked over sketches of dresses that were to be made next. "Can I help make dinner tomorrow? And can I help with the outfits?" She turned her brown eyes to her Midnight.

Midnight smiled. "I don't see why not. Maybe you can even design a dress for the run way.
" she giggled when Lydia ran to her and hugged her tightly.

Beetlejucie rolled his eyes. This just seemed like a 'fun' weekend to him. He was starting to think it would be better just stay in the cage then what is going on now.
