It was just another day at the ghostbusters headquarters AKA the firehouse.
It was actually Saturday, but a rather bust day for the team.
They had several busts that morning, and were ready to take it easy the rest of the day.
After changing out of his flightsuit back into regular street clothes, Ray had planned on tuning up the car, better known as Ecto1.
He turned to his fellow ghostbuster Winston and asked, "Ready to help tune the old girl up?"
"Sorry man, but I promised Grace we take the kids ice skating and out for pizza tonight," Winston replied.
Grace of course was an old friend of Winston's, who he met up with several months ago, and the kids he was reffering to were her niece and nephew Jessica and Christopher, who Grace adopted after their parents, her sister and husband were killed.
Since meeting up again, Winston and Grace had re-connected and they were becoming close.
Ray understood.
"Well OK then.
Have fun," he spoke.
"Thanks, Winston replied, before heading out the door.

A short time later, Ray was working on the car's engine, when he heard a voice.
"How's the car coming?" asked Egon, who was walking down the stairs.
"The engine will be purring like a kitten in no time," Ray answered.
As he looked up, he noticed something different about Egon.
The group's resident scientist was not dressed in his usual professional looking attire, but was in jeans, a black T-shirt with a green and black plaid shirt on top, and black laced up boots.
"Wow Egon you look very casual," Ray spoke.
"Jeanie and I are going to a concert tonight.
And this is what Venkman told me to wear.
But if you ask me, I'm concerned that I'm going to stand out of place," said Egon.
"You look fine.
By the way, who are you going to see?"
"Just a local band.
A tribute group to another band called Bon Jovi I believe."
"Have a great time."
"Thank you Raymond," Egon answered, before he left.

A few moments later, Peter came downstairs, dressed in a dark grey suit with a matching tie, white shirt and black shoes.
"Hey Ray, is there anyway you can break a fifty for me?" Peter asked.
"Sure," Ran answered.
He turned his attention away from Ecto1's engine, wiped his hands on a cloth, then took his wallet out of his pocket and gave Peter a 20 dollar bill and 2 10 dollar bills in exchange for the 50 dollar bill.
"Thanks," said Peter, as he placed the cash in his own wallet.
"You and Dana have a date?" asked Ray.
"Yeah, her parents are in town so the four of us are going out to dinner, then to the opera."
"That's nice, what show are you seeing?"
"The Magic Flute.
Which reminds me, I gotta grab the tickets."
Peter disappeared to his office, took white colored strips of paper out of the top desk drawer, headed for the coat rack, and grabbed his long tan colored trench coat.
"Don't wait up," said Peter with a laugh.
"Don't worry, I won't," Ray slightly chucked back as Peter stepped out the door.
Ray then let out a sigh and said, "Well, another Saturday night and I'm here alone in the firehouse again."
While Ray was happy that his friends all found mates, he couldn't help but feel a bit left out himself.

The next morning at during breakfast, Winston explained to the three other ghostbusters why he needed an extra chair to put his leg on and had an ice pack on his knee.
"It wasn't I forgot how to skate, I forgot how to stop and nearly crashed into someone and had to twist my leg to break, said Winston, By the way, how was the opera Peter?"
"I found out last night Ward dislikes the opera as much as I do.
Something tells me the audience heard him and I snoring, because both Dana and Alice had to smack the back of our heads at least twice each, Peter answered with a slight chuckle, But enough about my night, how was the concert Egon?"
"What?" asked Egon.
"I said how was the concert?"
"What?"
I think Egon might had sat a bit to close to the speakers at the show," Winston pointed out.
"Gentlemen, I apologize if I'm not responding to any of your questions.
I have ringing in my ears, due to the fact my seat was right on top of the sound control system," said Egon, as he go up to place his bowl and coffee mug in the sink.
"What did I tell you."
It was then Winston took notice of Ray, sitting quietly.
"Ray, are you OK?
You're quiet this morning.
Are you coming down with something?" Winston asked.
"It's just..
Forget it, you guys will laugh at me," Ray replied.
"Ray, whatever you have to say, you have our full respect and attention," said Egon, who had no regained his hearing.
"We're all ears," Peter added.
"It's just.. there are times I feel like a third wheel or either feel left out," said Ray with a sigh in his voice.
"What do you mean?" asked Winston.
"I know what Ray's problem is," Peter pointed out.
"You do?"
"Yeah, I understand what he means.
Think about.
Winston, you're going out with Grace, Egon's with Jeanie and I have Dana.
Ray's on his own."
"You really feel that way Ray?" Egon asked.
"Yeah, sometimes," Ray answered.
Peter placed an arm over Ray's shoulder and said, "Buddy, your troubles are over.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, and we're going to hook you one."
"I think what Peter really means to say is, there are some great girls out there.
Why not give the dating scene a try?" Winston suggested.
"Do you think it can work for me?" asked Ray.
"Why not.
You're a people person, you're honest and you have your heart in the right place," Egon answered.
