While the ghostbusters had split apart as a team a few months back, their new lives were still quite busy.
Winston being a part-time house parent, taking care of the apartment, and kids (his niece Jessica, nephew Christopher, and his own children Rhonda and Gerald) during the day, while his wife Grace worked, then going to school at night to get his teaching degree, Ray running his old bookshop once again, and occasionally have his baby son Andrew with him, while his wife Jenny had photography classes or assignments, Peter handling his duties as an assistant to mayor Lenny Clotch, as Dana practiced and performed with the orchestra, while juggling their kids Oscar, Peter Jr. and Tabitha, and Egon as well with working at the university, while Jeanie went to school for creative writing, in hopes of publishing children's books, and taking care of daughter Lila as well.
However, once they all got their affairs settled and were at a calm pace, all four former ghostbusters, along with their wives and children got together at the firehouse (now the Spengler's home) to have a reunion dinner.
Everyone chipped in from cooking, setting the tables, and promising to clean up afterwards.

After the wonderful meal, the total of seventeen sat in the main level of the firehouse, catching up with each other.
The younger children played, while the pre-teens kept an eye on them, as well as the infants in the playpen, and the adults chatted.
"So the other day, Ray and I had to run into the store to grab diapers and formula for Andrew, and an employee told us Ray couldn't come into the store," said Jenny.
"Which store was it?" Dana asked.
"The supermarket on 5th and Columbus."
"You know, it's funny you should say that.
Because last week, we had to get a few ingredients for a dessert I was making to bring to the mayor's house for a dinner party, and the manger wouldn't let Peter come in."
"Funny you should bring this up.
Egon wasn't allow to go in with Lila and I, when I had to do some shopping the other day," said Jeanie.
"And Winston told me, he wasn't allow to go in that store as well.
Until I went there myself and saw a sign by customer service saying that the ghostbusters aren't allow in the store," Grace added.
All eyes were soon on the former ghostbusters.
"Uncle Winston, are you banned from going into a supermarket?" asked Jessica.
"I can't lie, we are," Winston replied.
"How come?" asked Christopher.
"We rather not say," Peter answered.
"It's quite embarrassing," Egon added.
"Trust us, you don't want to know what happened," said Ray.
By that time, the kids gathered round their parents.
"I want to hear the story Daddy," said Tabitha, as she climbed onto her father's lap.
"Me to, me to, me to, " Peter Jr. added, as he pulled Peter's hand.
"Tell us Papa Peter," spoke Oscar.
"I'd like to hear the story to please," said Lila.
"I think we all would like to hear it sweetie," said Jeanie.
"Looks like the I's have had it," chuckled Winston.
"OK OK we'll tell the story," spoke Ray.
"Now this all happened before many of you were born.
With the exception of Oscar, and before your Winston met you two, Peter said to Jessica and Christopher, It had been almost a month since our battle with Vigo on New Year's Eve."

Nearly four years earlier

It had been a rather slow day at the firehouse.
Since their battle with Vigo on New Year's Eve, business for the ghostbusters had quiet down.
Ray and Winston were tuning up Ecto-1, along with giving the car a new coat of wax, Peter and Egon had finally gotten around to taking down the holiday decorations, and Jeanie was reading a magazine.
Just then, the phone rang.
Jeanie answered it and said, "Ghostbusters."
She called out to Peter, "Dr. Venkman, phone call for you."
Peter placed the box he was carrying into Egon's hands, despite the fact his fellow ghostbuster was already carrying two boxes himself.
Ray and Winston went to give Egon a hand. while Peter answered the phone.
"Hello.
Hi Dana.
Sure, what's the favor?
Of course I can pick up a thing of diapers and formula for Oscar before we meet for our date.
No trouble at all.
OK then.
I'll see you at 7.
Love you to.
Bye."
Peter called out, "Ray I need the keys to the car.
I gotta pick up a few items for Oscar at the store."
"I'll come with you, we need a few things here at the firehouse, including fresh bread," said Winston.
"What's wrong with the loaf we have now?" asked Peter.
"Let's just say Egon's experimenting with it in the lab."
"Mind if I join?
I need more toothpaste," asked Ray.
"I might as well join, I'm completely out of tab soda, as someone drank the last can yesterday," said Egon. looking over at Peter.
"I said I was sorry," said Peter.
"Oh Egon.
Do you think you can pick me up a bottle of pink nail polish?
I have a date with Louise tonight and I'm out," Jeanie asked.
"No trouble at all," Egon answered.
"Thank you."

At that moment, the phone rang once more.
"Ghostbusters," said Jeanie, after she answered it.
Jeanie then wrote down something onto a piece of paper and said, "Yes.
Yes of course.
I'll send them right away.
Bye."
She gave the piece of paper to Ray and said, "Roaming vapors at a supermarket on 5th and Columbus."
"Great timing.
We'll bust some ghosts and get our shopping done.
Kill two birds with one stone," said Peter, while Ray, Winston, and Egon shook their heads.
The four ghostbusters quickly placed on their flightsuits, loaded up Ecto-1 and took off for their assignment.
