A young lady with a pale skin wearing a big black hat and a dress without sleeves that goes until a little before her knees were walking by a park. Looked like she just gone out a horror story.
No, she wasn t ugly or scary, on the contrary, she have a deadly vibe around her, with an exotic beauty. The kind of a woman that, just some guys would appreciate, for being different.
She had brown hair, a very dark brown hair, that anyone who looked to her could say it has the color of petroleum., but in the sun light its real color was revealed. Her eyes were dark brown, but they had a different glow. It wasn t a common glow, just like her appearance, it was an exotic glow that just some could read.
She was a pretty young lady, she was around 22 years old. Her name was Lydia Deetz.
Lydia carried a camera around her neck, and in some times, when she found something that was of her interest in the park, she stopped to take some pictures. She just gone out of her class in photography s college and she was going to home. Today she tried a different route that she usually did every day.
Walked to a little gecko, it mixes up with one of the tree s trunk color. With extremely caution, she put her knees on the grass and got closer with her camera, already with the necessaries adjustments.
Her big fear right now was make some noise that could scary the little gecko.
She stopped breathing to take the first photo. Looked to the camera s display, the photo was almost perfect; it was still a little too bright. Fast as she could, she increased the camera s aperture and then she got back to her initial position. Breathed deep and stopped once again for seconds and with the click a loud voice started to say:
-HEY BABES! the voice came from her purse, and Lydia couldn t handle a little jump of surprise after the click. She was extremely concentrated.

-Not now, Beej! I m trying to take a photo of this - already turning back to the position, she stopped to talk for the simple fact that the gecko wasn t there anymore. Her face turned to a worried expression.

-This what? the purse started to move by itself and shake it slightly C mon, don t let me curious! Y know I hate it.

Without no replies, she kept looking to the camera. The last photo was on its display and she zoomed it to check if the focus on it was okay or if, by the jump, she screwed its focus. Luckly the photo was perfect. She could do another tests, but just for having a good photo a smile appeared on Lydia s face.

-It s that before you scary it, I was trying to take a photo. she looked around, being sure there s no one walking there and showed to her purse the photo.

-Wow, babes! This photo is amazing! said the voice in a happy way. Now Lydia could look to the purse, and it had eyes, nose and a mouth with teeth that could be described as slightly greens and totally crooked. But - he stopped changing his tone by any chance your lil friend doesn t ate any of my beetles, right?

-No, Beetlejuice she laugh.

-That s good, I don t want a rival while I m hunting my meal. another pause, now the purse s eyes were staring at Lydia, almost bagging her. What about you said more two times and get me out of here?

-Of course, but What I get with it? she put her hand in her waist, raising an eyebrow.

Now it was Beetlejuice s turn to raise an eyebrow.

-Are you serious? Well, you ll get an afternoon with the ghost with the most with a smug smile he proceed Y know, many people would die just to have a time with me. he winked to her in a naughty way.

-They would die just for being with you, and I guess why she rolled her eyes, holding a laugh and crossing her arms.

Before Beetlejuice could reply, Lydia continued.

-Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

A glowing smoke appeared on the place, so dense that anyone who walked through there couldn t see that Lydia was sitting on the ground. Not even Lydia could see the park s walk anymore.

She started to get up when a hand, so pale as her with a dark red color in finger s end appeared in the smoke. Without hesitate, Lydia grabbed the hand, it was very cold, and got up with its help.
Before she could let the hand go to fix her dress, it pull her inside the smoke wall and her body leaned into another body. With time the smoke was disappearing revealing a man, a little taller than her and with a ghostly look. He had white-blonde hair very messy and brittle hair that went almost until his shoulders. His eyes were slightly yellowish, with its edge in a dark orange and before it reaches his pupils it turned into white.

He was wearing a suit with stripes, white and black with larges stripes, a black tie and under the suit he was wearing a t-shit in magenta color and pointy black shoes slightly curved.

Lydia felt his other hand getting her waist. Her eyes went to his eyes encounter. He had a naughty smile on his lips, showing his crooked teeth.

-And which would be the reason you imagine, Babes? his face gots closer to hers and in a fast move, she put her hand into his face, laughing and getting out of his embrace.
-Because just a crazy one to be the whole day with you. even she was a little blushed, she turned her back to him and started to continue her walk. She wanted to avoid that he could look her red cheeks.

With a bored face after she got out of his arms, Beetlejuice looked to Lydia walking, his eyes analyzed all the young lady s body and he let a sigh got out of his lips that again, turned into a smile.

-You ve grown up so fast

He looked around, no one was there, so he started to floating until reach her. He was basically lying down on air, looking to the sky with his hands behind his neck.

-So are you saying that you re a crazy one? - he smiled for his own smart response.
-No! I mean, hm, no! she was confused, he got her this time. She sighed laughing and shrug. Well, maybe I am, don t you think?

-I think you are. he winked to her and got back on his feet, walking and putting his hands on his pockets.

-So, what do you wanted? she hold her camera and started to look all the photos. They wouldn t take too long until they arrive at her home.

-Ah Neitherworld was letting me very bored, so I thought: I ll make a visit to my babes. And here I am.

Lydia doesn t know what to say, the word mine in Beetlejuice s phrase has a very weird effect on her. When she was younger, the most he could say with this word was: my best friend . In the lately years, he have been using more often the words my and babes together in the same phrase. She shook her head trying to forget those thoughts.

-Are you alright? he raised one of his eyebrows.
-Oh, yes, I just started to think about the college s works, I got lost in my mind, sorry. her eyes catched up with his again. You can go on, BJ.

-Wll, as I was saying, there was bored as hell, and I remembered that today is Friday and you don t have college tomorrow. he stopped looking to other people on street, whose were staring to him.

-Yes, so ?

-I thought we could make a movie session in your house, just like old times. he shrugged.

-I think it s an amazing idea. She smiled and they already was in front of her apartment s door. She searched the key on her purse and in a fast way, she opened the door. The building wasn t too big, should have 5 or 7 floors. The entrance doors are made of steel, they are big and had glass on it. Just when they enter, they could see a huge and dark stair.

The building was old enough to not have an elevator. Also there s not many people living there, just 5 residents.

-Do you have any movie in mind? she asked, going on the first stairs.
-Well there s that pirates movie that you said one time. We even watched the first movie of it many time ago.

-Pirates of the Caribbean? she laughed.

-Yeah, something like this.

-Your memory is terrible, Beej. she smiled while they going up in the second group of stairs reaching the first floor. The first stairs just revealed a long and dark corridor, without any apartments.

-I m more than 600 years old, don t expect me to remember of all my afterlife s details, Babes. I don t have a huge memory as an elephant. when he finished to say it, his head turned into an elephant s head, his crooked smile and ghostly eyes were there yet. Lydia couldn t handle a laugh.

-I m hungry. - he snapped his fingers and suddenly a bag of peanuts appeared in Lydia s hand.

Without needing to ask, she put a peanut close to his elephant s snout that almost instantly sucked the peanut. And then he spat it.

-Urg! No, definitely nope. snapped his fingers again and another bag appeared on Lydia s other hand, but this time full of beetles.
-Er, I think you can handle it by yourself, Beej. she gave the bag with beetles for him and he again shrugged.

-You don t know what you re missing. he put his snout and took all the beetles at the same time and chewed them.

-I do prefer to stay without knowing - she gave a nasty face while she eat a peanut. Even she was used to Beetlejuice and his meals, she would always think they are disgusting.
