Beetlejuice sat quietly while Midnight hide things while Lydia slept. The things that were going into hiding were anything Halloween related. He remained quite watching just floating in the corner unsure why all of the sudden everything had to go in the middle of summer. Midnight turned to take a lap she had in the corner and nearly jumped out of her skin seeing Beetlejuice sitting there.
"How long have you been there?" she had placed her hand on her chest when she felt her heart trying to break her sternum.
Beetlejuice shrugged some, "Don't know since the first skull went into hiding." He rose a brow when Midnight glared at him. "What I didn't do anything." He shifted when Midnight grabbed the lam.
Rose shook her head, "And you won't do anything when Mark is over."
Beetlejuice rolled his eyes, "Your hiding this stuff from him."
Rose sighed, "es and please don't start on me. His nice and is the first guy whom hasn't run away after hearing finishing school." She giggled some seeing Beetlejuice face of disgust when she said finishing school. "See even you."
Beetlejuice let out a sigh, "Those type are stuck up and snooty."
Midnight after hiding the last piece looked to him. "And that's how everyone else assumes I am so please behave this once," She paused. "For me?" She gave a sad puppy look she would give him in the past.
Beetlejuice looked away some if he was living his heart would have skipped a beat hearing her say for me. "fine I'll behave." That look pulled at his heart strings. Only reason Lydia's sad puppy look worked on him was it reminded him of Midnight. He smiled when she hugged him. When she hugged him memories of their past that took him ten years to push in the dark seemed to flood into his memory. When the hug was broken he remained put while she went to go make breakfast.
The day went on as normal until Mark came. Once Mark came Beetlejuice had to turn into his rat form which of course was lectured by Mark on how rats were full of diseases and would be better destroyed. Right than Beetlejuice already wanted to show Mark how dangerous he could be but instead had muttered 'if only you knew' under his breath. He watched Mark like a hawk not liking him with midnight. He could tell by Mark's body language around Midnight said controlling. After a while Mark wanted Midnight to show him her work so she went to show him her work leaving Lydia and Beetlejuice in the living room. Beetlejuice turned to his normal form and looked towards the home office.
Lydia looked form the home office to Beetlejuice. "I don't like him."
Beetlejuice knew his reason for not likeing him but looked to Lyida , "What do you mean?"
Lydia shook her head looked to the home office again . "I don't know there is just something about him."
Beetlejuice was about to respond but froze when a loud crash was heard. In midair he turned back into his rat form which Lydia caught as she headed for the home office door. Yelling could be heard as they got closer and both Lydia and Beetlejuice looked to each other.
"No one would ever love a freak like you, " Mark could be heard screaming.
"Get out, Get out and don't ever come near me again. We are over." Midnight had stomped her foot and watched as Mark left the room. She than felt her knees give out as she started to cry. That comment Mark said felt like a knife threw her heart and she was trying to be strong but she couldn't.
Beetlejuice and Lydia glared as Mark stormed out of the house before they both went to go check on Midnight. Lydia felt her heart sink seeing Midnight kneeling on the ground crying. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say or what to do. Though she started to look around to see what the loud crash was. Beetlejuice once in the room turned to his normal form and went right to Midnight.
Beetlejuice floated near Midnight and hissed slightly, "Sugar don't you dare listen.." he was cut off when Midnight held up a life size muzzle of a wolf to him.
Midnight was telling a lie but didn't want Lydia or even Beetlejuice to think she was crying over anything Mark said. " He broke my werewolf lamp you got me for my sixteenth birthday."
Beetlejuice went to open his mouth but then shut it and sat next to her. "I could see if I can find a replacement sugar." He hugged her when she leaned on him.
Lydia tilted her head when she heard the word 'sugar' roll off Beetlejuice lips. As long as she could remember every female was called Babe. She shook her head right now was not a time to question it. Not after Mark destroyed Midnight's werewolf lamp and told her no one would love her. She walked over to Midnight and sat on the other side of her and smiled.
Lydia placed her hand on Midnight's shoulder and smiled. "We should go shopping," She smiled more when Midnight looked to her. "Get something new than when we come home I'm sure Beetlejuice can redecorate while we make dinner."
Beetlejuice smirked when Midnight and Lydia looked to him. "I'll give it some nethierworld flair."
Midnight nodded some and stood up after whipping her tears away. "sounds perfect Lydia." She giggled some thinking about her friend. " I can introduce you to one of my friends who's not an ass." She looked to Beetlejuice and smiled. "He would be cool with you as a rat in the store."
Beetlejuice changed into a black and white Norway rat and looked up to Lydia and Midnight. Midnight smiled and picked Beetlejuice and placed him on her shoulder and headed out with Lydia. Beetlejuice nuzzled into the nook in Midnights neck staying close to her not wanting to leave her side. Midnight smiled as she walked into a music store and looked around. She pouted not seeing the shop keeper and took a deep breath.
"Kraven," She had called out and smirked hearing movement.
Kraven came out from the black room, "is that my favorite costumer I hear."
Midnight called out and hugged Karven gently, "Karven this is my relative Lydia she is visiting with me for the summer."
Kraven smiled looking to Lydia, "It's nice to meet you and nice Norway rat."
Midnight bite her lip. "Thanks his name is Beetlejuice."
Kraven smiled and headed to the regeister. "Just got your order in was about to call you but knew you had dinner with Mark tonight."
Midnight shook her head. "Yea well there is no Mark."
"Really what happened his job call?" Kraven rose a brow looking to Midnight.
Midnight shook her head some, "No I broke up with him."
Kraven shook his head. "It's a bout dame time girl I didn't like him."
Midnight laughed slightly, "Than why didn't you say anything?"
Kraven sighed some pushing his glasses up. "You were happy and I didn't want to see you unhappy again. But guess that is going to happen anyway." He smiled some seeing Midnight pout. "How about night after your show we do a sleep over night all horror movies and ghost stories."
Beetlejuice watched Kraven and nuzzled Midnights neck. He felt slightly hurt in the past when they hung out that was what him and Midnight would do every October. He was feeling like his life was put on pause while Midnights kept going. But in a way it did to look at it he was dead.
Midnight smiled and nodded. "Sounds grate your still helping me on accessories for the show?"
Kraven nodded and smiled. "As long as you want me to help with the show I'll be there."
Midnight smile and payed for her cds that Kraven special ordered for her. "Then I'll see you in a few weeks."
