This is my first story so please be easy on me. I do not own the characters BeetleJuice, Lydia; Judge Mantel, and the rest of the characters in Beetlejuice cartoon and movie. This is based on both cartoon and the movie of Beetlejuice.

Chapter 1

Lydia rested her whole body on her bed. She slowly closed her eyes to only see flashes of yesterday. Seeing Judge Mantel with his eyes filled of pure hatred and seeing a tear fall down on Beej's cheek.

"Babes.." Lydia suddenly tore her eyes open to see Beetlejuice floating above her.

"What Beej?" Lydia asked sadly.

"You aren't thinking about," Beetlejuice fidgeted "Yesterday?"

"Why did you do it, Bj?" Lydia said getting up from her bed and sitting down on the floor with her back to the wall.

"I didn't want your life taken away." He said sitting down on her bed. "I want you to keep on living, Lyds. I didn't want you to be dead like me."

Covering her face with her hands so Beetlejuice couldn't see the tears in her eyes, Lydia said "You actually care for me, Bj. I knew that already, but now what's the point? We can't be friends anymore, Beej. We can't see each other and after today, I won't even remember you!" Her voice faltered and she took away her hands from her face.

Tears caressed Lydia's cheek as she wept. Beetlejuice quickly rushed over to her and held her in his arms. "Lyds, it's going to be okay. There are always loopholes. Always." Beej said calmly while stroking Lydia's soft black raven hair. He felt her tears drop on his shirt and her small quivering body, but he didn't care…

Yesterday was the worst day of Beetlejuice's life. One minute, he was at his roadhouse and then the next, he was at the courthouse.

The courthouse was filled with ghouls gossiping about what is about to happen.

Judge Mental already had Lydia in the court so Beetlejuice quickly rushed over to her side.

"Beej, what did you do?" she whispered worriedly

"I don't know, Babes." Beej said nervously

"Beetlejuice!" Judge Mental said firmly that immediately hushed the courthouse.

"You have been accused of seducing 20 ghouls within 4 days. What do you plead?"

Lydia eyes went big and Beetlejuice gulped "Not guilty."

"Well, let us see if that's true." Judge Mental sneered.

He called up the 20 ghouls who were the victims and they all testified. The 20 ghouls said the same story that Beetlejuice approached them and then seduced them.

"Well are you going to change your mind, Beetle-juice?" Judge Mental pressured.

"I'm not guilty, Judge Mental." Beetlejuice said calmly.

"Then your sentence is going to be 478 years in jail and another 30 years living with the Sand,"

"WAIT!" Lydia yelled

"Is there another possible alternative instead of that? I mean to make Beej stop seducing the lady ghouls in this town, maybe he can marry someone." Lydia blurted out hysterical.

Judge Mantel looked at the human girl with such astonishment and pondered for a bit. "Lydia, I'm going to accept your alternative under ONE condition."

"What is it?"

"The condition is that you, Lydia Deetz, marry this immature perverted scum bag because you are the ONLY one who can control him."

"Babes, don't say,"

"Yes, I will marry Bj." Lydia said firmly looking at Beetlejuice straight in his eyes.

"You know what this means, Babes? It means you will lose your life just to be stuck with me for the rest of your life."

"I rather be married to you than anyone else, Beej."

"I'm not going to let you do this." Beetlejuice whispered harshly but tender.

"Judge Mental, I have another choice. My choice is that Lyds and I never see each other anymore and that she will forget that she ever met me." Beetlejuice gulped to swallow his sadness "Also that she keeps her confidence."

Judge Mental looked at Beetlejuice scanning his face "Why?"

"So she can keep on living and that she can actually marry the guy she wants to marry."

"And you?"

"I won't do anything because I will be regretting this choice forever on."

"Judge Mental, please don't agree with Beetle,"

"The sentence of this case will be that Beetlejuice will never see Lydia ever again and she won't remember a thing about him." Judge Mental banged his hammer and poofed the ghouls who buzzing like bees away along with the shocked Lydia.

Beetlejuice looked up at Judge Mental and studied him. "How much time?"

"You have tomorrow to be with her and then after that, she is gone." Judge Mental said softly "You really do love her, don't you?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then why did you do it?"

"I did it because of that very reason and she doesn't love me back." Said Beetlejuice while shoving his hands into his pockets and turning his back on Judge Mental to walk away.

"How do you know that when you haven't even asked her?" asked Judge Mental and then saw Beetlejuice poof away. "Beetlejuice, she does love you. You can tell by that look in her eyes when she looks at you."…

Beetlejuice didn't notice Lydia had fallen asleep in his arms. He picked her up gently and laid her down on her bed.

Tucking her in, Lydia grasped Beetlejuice's cold hands and mumbled "Beetlejucie I know that I won't remember you the next morning, but I want you to promise that you will never forget me nor that I will forget you. If I leave this house and come back, I want you to remind me of the good times we had because, Beej, you are my other half of my soul."

Lydia let her grip go and went back to sleep and Beetlejuice looked at her strangely "I promise Lydia. I promise."

He tucked her in and gave her a soft kiss on her lips and looked at the clock. "12:00 a.m." Beetlejuice started to look around the room that was filled with pictures of Neitherworld that began to disappear being replaced by pictures of bats. Then he saw a piece of paper sticking of Lydia's drawer and he snatched it. He saw it had Lydia's small neat handwriting on it and read it:

December 13,1999

We may not be able to see each other, But we still have the key, We may have the door closed, But we still can see through the peephole, No matter how hard it was to get here, My feelings for you will never go away, so hopefully you can sing me a lullaby so I can remember this time of my life.

Because it's not over, I want to have another chance, But it's not over, Why did it end like this….

You were all I ever wanted, All I ever needed, The other part of my soul, But you went out of my grasp, So now I'm incomplete.~

I can't stop thinking about him. I don't want to forget him. I love him.

~Lydia Deetz

Beetlejuice looked up from the note to notice he wasn't in Lydia's room anymore and that he was in the courthouse with Judge Mantel only.

"I want to go back." Beetlejuice stated

"You can't." Judge Mental replied

"I promised her."

"I know."

"I love her."

"I know."

"I need her. She even said I am her other part of her soul." Beetlejuice said breaking down.

He felled down to his knees and started crying for the first time in many years.
