Drop Dead Lovely
~A Beetlejuice and Lydia FanFiction~
The sun was just rising over the Deetz's Household, shining through almost all the windows. After a while, the sound of an alarm sang through one room, but was quickly Shut off by the child in the bed next to it. The Child sat up, Her long black hair hanging to down, her wide brown eyes a bit sleepy still, and her pale skin shining in the light. She stretched a bit and yawned, looking around. There was nothing to her left side, or her right side, but she looked up, to see a man floating in the air. His suit was black and white striped, a purple shirt, and a black tie. His skin was almost as pale as hers, his hair pale blonde, and his eyes a light, piercing green.
"Hey Lyds." The man said with a light tone in his voice. His scratchy voice was almost always full of good humor, and there was a constant wide smile on his face. "Time to wake up."
Lydia looked up at Beetlejuice, laughing a little. "Hey Beej." She stood from her bed, smiling as she went to brush her hair. The child was 18 now, and happy about it.
"You know what today is Babes?" He floated over her still, slinking into her mirror.
She continued to laugh at him, smiling at her best friend. "What is it?"
"It's the 6 year anniversary of our being friends!" He began laughing, His head spinning a bit but stopped after a few moments, with his groaning, clearly regretting his decision.
Lydia began laughing, smiling. "I know silly, I wouldn't have forgotten." She stood and changed into her school uniform, a light blue jacket and skirt, a yellow shirt, a blue tie, and a spider brooch that Beetlejuice had gotten her exactly 5 years ago to the day.
Beetlejuice then got excited once again, a party hat and confetti appearing out of nowhere around him. "We're Gonna PAAARRRTAAAYY!" He began laughing, causing music to start out of nowhere. Lydia laughed and smiled, looking up at him.
"Beej, I cant yet. Graduation is today and I cant be late." She put on her long graduation robe and hat. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled, thinking it a bit unusual though.
Beetlejuice sighed though, grumbling a bit. "Party pooper." He Floated back down to the ground, looking her over. 'She's really grown up' He thought. But he didn't show any nostalgia, and gave his signature Cheshire cat smile. "So does that mean I can set up the party?"
Lydia smiled and nodded to him. "Sure. But don't do anything completely outrageous ok?" She brushed her hair to the side, looking up at him. Beetlejuice, in their adventures over the years, had lost a lot of weight, so he didn't really have a gut anymore. He was still the same old goofball though. She made her way to the bedroom door, looking back at him. "And please don't do anything crazy."
Beetlejuice scoffed a bit, crossing his arms and looked away from her. "Crazy? What an absurd thought." Of course he was fully intending on getting himself into some kind of trouble, but he chuckled a bit and looked at her. "Don't worry about me Babe's"
Lydia sighed and nodded. "Well here I go." She smiled and closed the door behind her, heading off to her graduation.
"Lydia Deetz!" The principal called her up onto the stand, holding the diploma wrapped in a red ribbon. Lydia walked up onto the stage, shook hands with the principal, and gave a wave to everyone in the crowd. She didn't know it, but something or someone was watching her from the back of the crowd, giving a light smirk and chuckled. "So that's the one eh? This should be interesting."
Lydia rushed home, Smiling the whole way on her bike. She was finally free from the world of 'Miss Shannon's School for Girls', and she was free to spend as much time as she wanted with Beetlejuice. She felt somewhat of a tug in her chest and physically stopped on her bike. "What in the world was that?" She thought to herself, but she shook it off, and continued riding. The last part of the trip, she hummed along to her favorite song, "Day-o".
She, in her hurry to get back to BJ, crashed her bike into the house, causing a loud thud. She ran up to her room before Delia could say anything, and slammed the door to her room. She looked around, not seeing anyone, so she gave a heavy sigh. She changed into her long black dress, tied her hair straight up, and walked over to her bedroom window, shutting her curtains.
"Though I know I should be Wary" She spoke, walking over to her table.
"Still I venture someplace scary" Smiling as she spoke the second verse.
"Ghostly hauntings I turn loose" She focused on these last three words, them being her favorite part
"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!"
