Chapter 1

"DEATH COMES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS"

Epilogue: Previously on BeetleJuice…

Lydia on a fit of hysteria calls on BeetleJuice crying and moaning about how her step mother what's her name, red haired fallen angel who's actually very annoying goodie two shoe, died "accidentally" and BeetleJuice hugged her pretending to care while she was crying over her shoulder he was smiling very maliciously wickedly evil and snickered. He retaliated back with a serious look on he's face and asked…."

"How did this happen Lydia?"

"I'm not sure how or why but I only know what she died of?"

"Of what?"

"Fright."

"What?"

"The investigators claimed she died scared to death. From the look of her face when she died explained it all they said. When I told them I didn't understand. They took me to see her dead body and she looked like she died of some bad LSD trip gone wrong? I wondered what could have scared her to death like that? The look of absolute terror, what horrible thing could have frightened her?"

BeetleJuice replied, "Maybe she say her reflection for the first time?"

"BeetleJuice!"

"Sorry, what I meant to say that maybe she saw her husband naked for the first time since they got married?"

"BEETLEJUICE!"

"Just say my name one more time babes!"

"I'm serious Beetle….errr…..Jay….my mother is dead. This is not funny! Why you make a joke about everything. I'm sitting here crying my guts out and you think it's funny. If I would have known better. You scared my mother to death and you killed her, you, you, you…did… it…..didn't you…" Lydia accused muttering stumbling over words trying to speak. "Errr.. Gonna… get …. You …..BJ…..you…..ass…..hole….die…"

As she stumbled lazily over to him trying to catch BJ flying up in the air.

"Too bad I'm already dead!"

"Errr! I'm gonna….."

"Oh calm down a minute, don't get so freaked out on me. Your not thinking clearly. I just found out because you told me. I didn't know. Sorry, I mean she was your step mother. You complained about her all the time. She was annoying to me to. I mean I thought you would be glade to get ride of your step mother. I'm surprised you actually care and are crying she's dead. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so close. You could have fooled me. For all I know this is all an act and you scared your mother to death showing a picture of your only friend, who is me, of course, and blame me for it when I didn't know you took a picture of me as a monster with snakes and horns looking like the devil she probably thought it was?"

"What! Are you serious BJ. You know I cared about her. She's a good person. Yes, she was annoying but I didn't hate her to have her killed. For all I know you turned into a hideous monster beast and scared her to death."

"Hey Lyd's I've been in the Netherworld. I have an alibi. When did this take place because if it was earlier today you can ask Jacque, I was too busy picking on him. Your being irrational Lyd's I wouldn't do that to you. Your making a big deal out of nothing. Sit back down and relax. Come on now. I care about you. I do."

Lydia sighs, "Oooh, alright BJ." Lydia sits down and BJ wraps an arm around her and cuddles her.

"It's all right Lydia. I'm still your friend and I would never do something deliberately to piss you off by hurting your family. How many times I wanted to but I held it in?"

"Your right BJ. I shouldn't have went off on you like that, accusing you of what you couldn't have possibly known or have been there because I didn't call on you at the time of death. It was last night when it happened, but they just found her body today, cold and alone laying down by a bench on a curb where they believe she was awaiting a taxi, that she never took."

"Maybe she saw an alien alone at night. There rare but it does happen."

"BEETLEJUICE!"

"Three times the charm babe."

"Errr!"

Puff they go in a flash to the netherworld!

"Ohhh damit! I didn't want to go off today. I have to go to the funeral with my father tomorrow and today he wants to take me shopping for funeral clothes."

"Oh! Come on Lyd's, just open your closet, you can find dozens of funeral dresses in there. You wear them all the time."

"Stop cracking jokes BJ. I want to wear something special to her funeral. This is what my Dad wants and I would love another dress."

"Yes, yes, a girl can't have too many of those. Your special enough, I'm sure she wouldn't care if you dressed like a flower girl to her funeral."

"Why because she's dead, how funny BJ Now stop with the jokes, I'm not in the mood."

"No, you don't understand how special you were to her. She didn't care that you weren't her biological child because in her eyes you are her child. She cared for you no matter how much of a freak Clair thought you were, she doesn't care about what you look like. Your not a fascist like Clair or the rest of your high school and your parents adore you because of that and respect you. They care about you, so don't worry about it. You need to get away from the house for a while and clear your head." BeetleJuice says as he's head turns clear see threw and back to normal again. She chuckles.

"Oh, you always know what to say to cheer me up BeetleJuice! Thanks!" Lydia hugs him.

"Your welcome! If you still don't want to hang out with me today, I will understand. It's up to you. I care about you Lydia. I want you to be happy."

"Yes, but it's not your job BJ, sometimes you just got to let me mourn. I do need time alone to mourn but I can stay here a little while longer before I leave. I know you care for me as much as my parents care and love me, you're a great friend BJ and I would love for you to come with me to the funeral."

"I love you to Lydia." BJ says accidentally hugging her. The he realized what he just told her and starred wide eyed in horror. "Oh no." He whispered.

Then it just hit Lydia right then and there, as she just realized what he said, the forbidden word he never dare think he would ever say. He told her he loves her to. Oh my God it was a miracle.

"Oh My God! You love me to? I thought you would never say that to me."

"Ooh Lyd's it's not what you think, It just slipped my tongue. I saw you there mourning and was trying to comfort you. That's all. You don't have to get all weirded out because of it."

"I'm not BeetleJuice. I love you BeetleJuice as well. Oooops! Slip of the tongue." Lydia then disappeared.

"Oh fuck!" BeetleJuice mumbles as he watch's her fade away.
