A/N: .. Yeah, quite speechless. I learned something interesting about something… and my heart died. Review.
Disclaimer: I do not own Beetlejuice, the cartoon or the movie. Ace and Eden are my characters :D.
Chapter 3
The next seconds happened quickly.
Things began to float
Beetlejuice and Lydia were elevated too
Beetlejuice being pinned to the wall (still floating)
And the furniture being aimed at him.
"ACE AND EDEN!" Lydia yelled, terrified of being elevated.
"Mommy, he's lying to us." Eden states, narrowing her eyes. Ace, on the other hand, glares at Beetlejuice
Beetlejuice began to chuckle.
"Not only did you take the kids away from me. You also turned them against me, Babes." Beetlejuice hissed. Lydia winced at the old nickname.
"I didn't turn them against you. They simply don't know you."
"I wonder why." Beetlejuice said, practically yelling at Lydia.
"I'm-"
"I don't want to hear it!"
"You're going to hear it an-"
"BE," Eden screamed
"QUIET!" Ace finished in the same volume.
Beeltejuice and Lydia, shocked by the twin's outburst, became quiet.
"Mommy, is he lying?" Ace asks.
Lydia takes a deep breath and shakes her head. Ace drops the furniture and Eden rearranges it. Then once Eden is done fixing everything, Eden moves Lydia and Beetlejuice to be in front of them and Ace drops them to the floor, gently.
"Ms. Lydia, Ms. Eden, and Mr. Ace, lunch has been served." William said, bowing to them and breaking the angry atmosphere. William then looked at Beetlejuice "I will ask the cook to prepare another plate for the guest."
"Thank you, William. Also, may you take the kids to the dining room and make sure they wash their hands."
"Yes, Ms. Lydia." William ushered the kids to the dining room while Lydia stayed with Beetlejuice in the formal living room.
"If this is ever going to work, we need to work out our problems first." Lydia said, turning to look at Beetlejuice.
"Well since you seem like you got it all, Ms. Lydia, so you start." Beetlejuice smirked, reaching into his pocket and pulled out a squirming beetle and chomped right into it.
Lydia rolled her eyes at Beetlejuice's immaturity. "I left a note."
"And with that note, you leftyour engagement ring." Beetlejuice added, ruefully.
"If you read the note."
"Oh, I did, but those words you said to me weren't completely removable."
"I had to get away and-"
"FROM WHAT? I said we could do it together! What was your reply to that was 'I don't want to be married to you.'! What was I suppose to think? Yes, I read the damn note, but it doesn't make up for what your words did to me!" Beetlejuice exclaimed, furious.
"I was trying to protect you!" Lydia cried.
"YOU COULD HAVE PROTECTED ME WHILE BEING WITH ME!" Beetlejuice snapped.
"You couldn't understand, Beej!" Lydia exclaimed, shaking her head sadly, holding back tears.
"Not understand what? That Ari could have meant any one of us? That there was a possible chance he wasn't talking about me or you? That we were both scared? Or that you found an exit ticket for the marriage?" Beetlejuice pointed out.
"I-i-"
"Exactly. Everything you say is a lie. I'm going to talk to Eden and Ace more 'cause some wench kept them away from me. I have 5 years to catch up on." Beetlejuice spat, fire in his misty green eyes. He began to walk out until he felt a petite hand grab his arm.
The touch sent a feeling he hadn't had in awhile. The one Lydia always gave him when he was in love with her. The one that spreads a warm, comforting feeling throughout his body and calms him down.
Lydia must have felt it too since she quickly took her hand back. Beetlejuice turned back to her, looking into her big brown eyes, which held regret and confusion and hurt.
"What?" Beetlejuice hissed.
He saw Lydia wince. He wanted to be nice to her, but he couldn't. His heart has not had its revenge.
"I was scared, Bj. I thought it was for the best. I know I should have told you, but I felt useless. I wanted to be the hero or so I thought. The only way that kept popping into my head at the time was to save you, I have to go away. I'm sorry, Beej. I'm soo sorry." Lydia began to cry softly.
Beetlejuice's hate for Lydia disintegrated within mere seconds of watching Lydia.
'So it was the same on her side.' Beetlejuice thought.
"I felt my heart just die. After the words I said to you. I didn't wa-ant t-to s-say them t-to yo-you." Lydia stuttered. Beetlejuice then took Lydia into his arms, holding and crooning until she stopped crying.
"I didn't mean those words, Beej. Please understand. I was being stupid and,"
"Lyds , I missed you." Beetlejuice whispered, interrupting her. He understood.
Lydia looked up from Beetlejuice's embrace and looked into his mist green eyes, seeing the same emotion she saw before. Love.
"Oh, Beej! I missed you too." Lydia said, giving him a hug.
"Lydia," Beetlejuice pulled Lydia back a little.
"Hm?" Lydia asked, confusion clear in her face. Beetlejuice then leaned in and Lydia closed her eyes, waiting for his kiss.
His lips brushed her lips and he whispered "How come Eden has half of my power and Ace the other half?"
Lydia tore open her eyes and Beetlejuice smirked.
"Juno thought that it was because they were one egg and they spilt. It wasn't a fraternal twins or two separate eggs. It was one egg and it spilt and it was a surprise I got Ace as a boy and Eden as a girl. Anyways, Juno said it was probably when the eggs spilt; it caused your genetics for the powers to spilt too."
Beetlejuice ran the words over his head again and again.
"So this is rare? For one egg to spilt and the twins be different genders?" Beetlejuice asked.
Lydia nodded. "Very rare."
"Ya know it's because of our fun." Beetlejuice commented, wiggling his brows.
"BEEJ!" Lydia punched him gently and walked out into the formal dining room, Beetlejuice following her.
Lydia sat down, while the kids munched on… beetles?
"I guess they took on more of me than I thought." Beetlejuice said to himself, watching Ace's and Eden's little fingers grab the crawling beetles.
'Cute.' Beetlejuice thought, smiling.
Okay, guys.
Yesh, I know that Beetlejuice shouldn't have forgiven her that easily, but he loves the darn woman! D:
