CHAPTER 2!

Beetlejuice woke up in a hot sweat. Memories in he's dream about Bruja Geista replayed in he's mind. He sometimes longed for her even though he has Lydia he's new best friends and all those whores he loves.

He even turned back he black nails red again after befriending Lydia. She made him feel like he's old self again. He could be himself and trust her not to enslave him. Which she never took advantage of him and nether did he.

Though he never told Lydia about Bruja Geista.

After being separated so long from her potion wears off and knows how enslaved he made him and the things he let her do to him. Made him into. Made him so mad sometimes but doesn't know whether or not to thank her or curse her. Smiled of the memory when he almost ran over one of her fat witch friends with he's car Doomie. Darn that Doomie for stopping, should have ran her over. Ever since then he's had fantasies of running over witch's with he's car and having dreams about it. He could feel it was close having her come back to the netherworld. Every time it was the same thing. He always thought he could stand up to her and be he's evil self but she would make him into a puppy dog and make him all lovey dovey and turn him into mush and he couldn't resist her power over him, she was the only one he feared and loved and hated her for it.

Truly he thought if any one could break her spell Lydia could?

Though he was still freakin out that Lydia was turning eighteen years old today.

"Oh Lydia, no matter how much you grow up, please don't change on me, I just can't handle the thought of her dating boys, going out to the mall and doing all those girly stuff with make-up and what not. Ew!" BJ said as he started biting he's nails furiously.

"I also can't stand the fact I feel Bruja Geista is about to come back to the Netherworld soon and if she does what do I tell Lyds? She's so much powerful then me I can't over power her. If she comes back I won't be able to see her again for the next fifty years locked away in her attic in her cage as her love slave. Ahhh!" BJ Squealed as he slapped he's hands on he's face.

"Though I have Lydia what if our friendship is not strong enough to resist this witch? What if Lydia can't stop her either? Oh no!" BJ feel backwards into he's coffin.

Then the air started to turn and he could feel Lydia's call.

"Oh no, Is it six o' clock already? I slept in that long?"

In a flash he was standing right before Lydia but he was still wearing he's cockroach PJ's.

"Ummm, BJ? Why are you still wearing your Pajama's? This isn't a sleep over birthday party." Lydia exclaimed.

"Oh ya! My bad. I got confused. You know how I am at your birthdays."

BJ replied as he transformed into he's stripped suit.

"That's much better. BJ! I now you get nervous ever year I have another birthday I get older but I swear to you I wont change. I'll always be your friend. In fact I'm wearing my spider broach you gave me a long time ago. I wear it as a symbol of our friendship together. I also made sure Prudence and Bertha left before I summoned you so we could go off to the Netherworld at your place for my Birthday."

"That's great babes. Thank you!"

Lydia dims the lights, pulls the curtains, lights the candle and invokes,

"From the world Beyond and from the living to the dead although I should be wary, Still I venture some place scary, Ghostly haunts, I turn loose, I summon forth, BeetleJuice, BeetleJuice, BeetleJuice grant me passage to the Netherworld!"

Lightening circles threw the room, everything disappears and whoosh BeetleJuice go in a flash to the Netherworld and walk back to he's place.

They walk threw the door to find Skeleton Jacque, and Spider jumping out with graffiti and a big Birthday sign screaming happy Birthday!

"Ah, Hello there Miss. Lydia looking just as good as before. Nice of you to have your birthday with us." Said Jacque.

"Yes, indeed. We all got you presents." Said the Spider.

"Let me guess, a pair of shoes." Said Beetlejuice Sarcastically.

"How did you know? Asked the Spider.

"I don't know, a wild guess, I guess!" Beetle chuckles.

"Oh thank you, I'm sure their lovely." Says Lydia as she opens her gift and their a pair of red high heel shoes. Though she never wore high heels and never were into anything but black but thought maybe she might wear them some day.

"Here's my gift." Say's Jacque.

"Thanks!"

"Let me guess. Is it a skeleton key chain with a push of a button it's eyes light up?" Said Beetlejuice.

"How did you know?" Asked Jacque.

"Oh, I snuck a peak threw your door when you were wrapping her gift." Beetlejuice snickers.

"Ewww Beetlejuice!" Replies Jacque.

Lydia opens he's gift and pushes the button and lights it up.

"Oh how cool. Thanks Jacque!" Said Lydia.

"Your welcome!"

"Now lastly the best birthday gift, my gift." Says BJ as he gives Lydia a stripped box with a stripped ribbon.

"Let me guess, it's a Beetle broach?" Asked Lydia.

"How you know?"

Lydia laughs and opens it and takes the Beetle broach out and BJ takes the honor of clipping it to the other side of her shirt opposite of her spider broach.

"Thank you! I know you so well! I love it!" Lydia exclaims as they hug.

"Oh la, la. Now time for thee cake." Said Jacque.

Jacque rolls in the chocolate cake with red frosting.

"I frosted it myself." Says the spider.

"Wow! Thanks Ginger and Jacque!"

"Make a wish!" Said Jacque.

Lydia blew out all eighteen candles.

"What did you wish for?" Asked Ginger the spider.

"That I will always be friends with all of you!" Said Lydia.

They all sat down and ate the cake. Though Beetlejuice couldn't help but flick a spoonful of cake at Jacque.

BeetleJuice blasted on some music and took Lydia and started dancing with her.

Flying up in the air and grooving to the beat.

Laughing and giggling.

Lydia and Beetlejuice were having the best time together as always.

Though time was flying by and was getting late before you knew it was night-time and was almost time for her to go.

Now they were sitting back watching TV.

"It's almost time for me to go BJ! I had a lot of fun. I will sure look forward to seeing you tomorrow after school. It is my last year of school ya know."

"I've been wondering about that. Since it's your last year in all. What are your plans after high school. You never mentioned what you were going to do?"

"Oh! I thought about going to photography at college but I thought about skipping that and going straight into business as photographer without it. I just don't know. I can't live with my parents forever. I going to have to get a job."

"Ahhh, Lyds, then you will have no time to spend with me babes."

"I know BJ. I will always make time with you." Said Lydia as she put her hand on her hand and looked up into he's sad eyes.

She noticed there was something different this time when she looked into he's eyes.

BJ didn't look happy, he looked, lonely, depressed, sad, scared, and worried. She also saw something else but wasn't sure. Was it love?

BJ caught Lydia gazing into he's eyes and drew back with he's arms wrapped around he's waist. Acting nervous and shy.

"What's wrong?" Asked Lydia.

"Oh, nothing, I just kind felt weirded out by you starring at me like that. That's all. Don't worry about me Lyds I'm sure I'll be fine while your gone. I'll see you again."

"Oh give me another hug before I leave."

"Okay!"

Lydia gave him another big hug and BJ squeezed her tight. She pulled back to look at he's face again and admired he's greenish yellow be-witching eyes of he's. She couldn't help it she just kept starring at he's eyes and BJ just starred back in each other's brace. All silent serious expression, not even a smile. She felt good being in he's arms. She didn't want to let go. BJ felt the same. For some reason he's gnarly buggy teeth didn't gross her out anymore, she felt the need to kiss him but didn't know how BJ would react.

BJ thoughts were the same. Looking into her brown eyes he felt warm and fuzzy inside. He Sorta felt scarred and uncomfortable but soon the feeling went away and replaced by something else, he couldn't put he's finger on it. What was that word?

He just didn't understand. He always thought of himself as just always would be friends with Lydia. Nothing more. That he could never feel that way for her. That's something he did with whores, he respected Lydia way too much to do that to her.

So why all of a sudden now, why can't he let go?

Why are they still starring into each other's eyes in silence. She's not saying anything. What should I do. He thought to himself? Now that she's an adult don't suppose she's getting those weird feelings about me do you? Oh na? I just might have spooky eyes she gets hypnotized by. I should just wake her out of it.

Instead Lydia gets closer to he's face and BJ gets closer, he wasn't sure but I think were about to kiss and I don't want to scare her away with my smelly breath.

There foreheads touch still starring into each other eyes in silence.

She starts to breath a little heaver and as does BJ.

Next thing ya know they lean in and start kissing each other.

They grip each other harder and start deep throating and kissing feverishly.

Then BJ stops himself and leading pulls back and looks down.

BJ takes her chin and pulls it up to face him and looks into each other's eyes.

"I love you Lydia!"

"I Love you BeetleJuice!

They hug again and she pulls back again.

"I have to go now."

"Yes, you do. See ya again latter babes."

"See you soon Beetlejuice!"

"Love you Beetlejuice!"

Just like that in a flash she was gone.

"The 3rd times the charm. Oh no. What have a done? What if we ruin our friendship over what? Love? Kisses? She said I love you. I can't believe I said I love you?

I haven't said that word in centuries. The last time I said that I was be-spelled by Bruja Geista and vowed never to speak that word again specially after she poured acid on Jacque and he's family when he tried to rescue me from her attic in the cage she had me locked up as her love slave. Not this time. I feel her, she's coming back to the Netherworld soon if she hasn't already. She's coming back for me. Not this time. She's not taking me from Lydia. No I see to that she's my slave this time. Locked up in my cage in my cellar. Zap her every time I go down there in the ass. This time I'm not be-spelled or hypnotized. I know who I really love and it ain't Geista, It's Lydia I want to be with.

Damn babes, how can I be so blind, I couldn't help but notice how much older she's grown and how prettier she gets every year, she sure looked hot today. is it me or is her poncho getting shorter or is she getting bigger? Damn she's getting sexy. I'm a man after all. It's natural to notice these things but I shouldn't have let it get to me but damn Lyds.

I love you!" Beetlejuice realized.
