Chapter 4
Family Time
The next day, Beetlejuice pulled up to Lydia's work with Trinity in the backseat. Trinity looked around. She always liked being in the Livingworld. She then looked at Beetlejuice in the front seat seeing he changed his form to BJ Beetleman, and tilted her head.
"Why did you change your form?"
Beetle looked in the back seat. "Lyds' family don't know I still hang around her. Plus, no one in this world even knows me."
"Oh," Trinity said scratching her head.
Lydia came out of the Photo hut and locked up. When she turned to look at them she couldn't help but smile. She'd been stressing all day. How would she tell her parents? How would she tell the Maitlands? How would she tell her friends?
The Maitlands would have to come first. Being ghosts and knowing of the Neitherworld and some of its magic maybe it will be easier. She would just tell Delia and her Dad Trinity was BJ's cousin. They would never believe the "daughter from the future" thing. And she was going to hold off on telling them she was pregnant as long as she could.
On the way home, the three talked. Mostly it was Lydia asking Trinity things about her time, probably in order to know what to expect.
"Where do you go to school?"
Trinity smiled. "Miss Shannon's School for Girls. I did go to a Neitherworld school but Teacher Creature kicked me out 'cause Daddy got in a fight with her."
Lydia looked over to Beetlejuice then back to Trinity. "Why sweetie?"
Trinity blushed like she was caught red handed doing something wrong. "She called me a little brat 'cause a girl in class was picking on me so I juiced ants down her back. All the boys and girls laughed except her and the teacher. It was funny. You weren't happy."
Lydia nodded. "Yeah, you don't be mean to anyone Beej cares about." She then smiled and the little girl in the backseat smiled back to her.
When they got home she introduced Trinity as Trinity Beetleman, BJ's visiting cousin.
"She is staying with Mr. Beetleman and BJ for a while. BJ can't get rid of her when she visits."
Charles and Delia look at Trinity as Lydia talks.
"I want to introduce her to the Maitlands. They will like her," she told them grabbing Trinity's hand and leading her up to the attic. Beetlejuice followed, going back to his real form as soon as they reached the door. Lydia knocked like always, and was let in.
Trinity smiled when she saw them. "Hi Grandma Barbara, Grandpa Adam."
They looked confused to the little girl, wondering why she called them "Grandma and Grandpa".
Lydia sighed. No need to break the ice now, she just had to tell them out right. She closed the door so her parents wouldn't hear them.
"Ok, this is Trinity, BJ's and my Daughter from six years in the future." That even sounded weird to her, but she went on. "Juno sent her here using Neitherworld magic because Spider killed us in that time and wants to hurt her. When ever we change time we will need Prince Vince to send her back."
The Maitlands listened. They knew ghosts had powers, some more powerful then others. They thought for a minute, taking it all in, then like Beetlejuice and Lydia, they had to ask.
"How far back does the spell take her?"
Lydia got nervous. She had hoped to avoid telling them for a while. But Beetle--being, well, Beetlejuice--stepped in.
"Well, you see it takes her back to the day her parents do the bump and grind that makes the child." He had to say it in his own way. Adam gave him a dirty look, but Barbara just went to their surrogate daughter.
"Lydia you didn't tell us you aren't," Barbara pleaded with her.
Lydia looked down. How Barbara had pleaded made her feel ashamed. She only nodded.
Seeing his Lyds like that made Beetlejuice angry. These were the two people she could tell almost anything to. Maybe not as much as she could tell him, but pretty dang close. He flew into yelling at the other two ghost.
"She is 21 fucking years old, not a teenager! She can have sex with her boyfriend if she goddamn well pleases! How dare you make her feel ashamed about that? No one comes up here telling you two not to fuck! If you two weren't like parents to her I would exorcise you in a second! I undid the last one and I can redo it. Don't push me!" After his yelling, his shoulders rose and fell like he winded himself. He probably would have ran out of breath if he had one to run out of.
Trinity just looked at her father, wide eyed. He had never let her see him like that in her time. Beetle just took out a cigarette and lit it to calm his nerves. Lydia looked at Beetle then the Maitlands, who were in a kind of shock at his outburst at them, but they knew he was right. Now they were the ones who felt ashamed.
"Sorry about making you feel like you did something wrong. Beetlejuice is right. You're an adult now. Just to us your still the little 16 year old we met," Barbara told her and hugged her tight.
Adam looked over at Trinity who was gone, only to find her almost an inch tall in the model riding around the streets on a tiny bicycle. He just smirked at her.
"Well, there isn't anything we can do about it now. Plus, if all of this is true, she looks like she becomes a sweet little girl. I don't want you to think we don't love you." He hugged her as well.
All this love in the room was making Beetle sick to his stomach.
"Ok ok, give the sweetness a rest for a while before I lose my lunch."
The three of them just looked at him then they all heard a small. "Weeeeeeeeeee!"
Beetlejuice turned and grabbed a tiny Trinity out of the air. She was trying to jump the bike she was on from the model to the couch. Which would be like trying to jump 4 Grand Piano Canyons given her miniature size.
Beetle looked at the little girl standing in his palm.
Lydia on the other hand yelled, "What were you thinking--do you even know how to fly!?"
Trinity nodded. "A little, but I'm not very good yet. I bet I could have made it to the couch."
Beetlejuice laughed a little. He was enjoying this kid. "Just grow to your normal size before Lyds rekills me thinking I will teach you that."
She poofed from his hand and reappeared in the room at her normal size. "In the Neitherworld, we jumped the Grand Piano Canyon a few times on the Phantom Flyer. Momma even came once!"
"Yeah, but the Phantom Flyer can fly, kid," he said putting out his cigarette and putting the butt in his shirt pocket.
After visiting the Maitlands for a while, they went to Lydia's room. They thought it would be nice before Trinity had to go back to hang out with her. Like with the questions on the way home from work, they just wanted to know what they are going to be dealing with in the coming years. They were also trying to think of how to change time from them getting eaten so she could go back. They couldn't have two of her in the same time. But if they did she could baby-sit herself, Beetle joked as she played in Rot Park.
Unknown to them, Spider finally thought up the perfect way to get her. Why break into the Roadhouse, when he could wait for a moment like now when they take her out for a day.
He watched for a moment, then stretched his arms grabbing her, and pulled her to him. Beetlejuice saw little Trinity being dragged by his evil brother. He leapt for her but before his fingers touched hers, Spider teleported them both away, leaving Beetle to face plant into the ground. He was so close to saving her. He knew a couple nights ago he shouldn't have brushed off seeing Spider as a trick of his mind. He probably could have done something before now. How was he going to get her back? They didn't even know where Spider lived! Then an idea came to him. They would go to Prince Vince and tell him about what had been going on. Trinity coming back through time, the Neitherworld Time Stone, all of it. Plus, they needed more help finding her, and he knew for sure who would be willing to help him and Lydia with anything.
Spider teleported back to his hide away with the girl. Trinity looked around scared. She knew what Spiderjuice was capable of doing to her. He had no heart. He could do things she didn't even want to think about.
Bloody Mary watched as Spider chained the girl to the wall. Her feet couldn't even touch the floor and the cuff from the chains cut into her wrist. Being half breather it hurt a bit more then it would have any other resident of this world.
"Uncle Spider please don't hurt me, I haven't done anything to you," she pleaded with him. He only smirked, hearing what she called him.
"I'm your uncle, huh? That makes things a lot more tasty for me. I don't care what you did. I'm going to hurt you 'cause of what Beetle has done. Plus, you look so innocent, I just have to destroy you." He scratched a blood red fingernail over her cheek making her bleed a little. "The hard part is just picking away out of all the ideas I have cooking up in my mind. Torture is an art, you know, and I'm the greatest there is at it." He laughed as the young half-ghost cried in front of him. Then he back handed her across the face, causing her to swing back and forth on the on the chains.
He walked away leaving her to hang there. Bloody Mary walked over to her looking her over. She couldn't wait to watch what Spider was going to do to this little brat.
"My family will come to get me, and Daddy will make you and Uncle Spider pay for everything," Trinity warned the crazy blood covered poltergeist standing in front of her.
Mary laughed. "Fathers don't love their little girls. Mine had me hung just to please his subjects. Tell me, where is fatherly love in that? Only Spider loves me."
Trinity kicked at her. "That's because you're one crazy bitch!" It was the first time she cursed, but she heard Beetlejuice say it once about Mary so it must be a fact. "Besides, Uncle Spider doesn't love you! He doesn't love anyone! He only loves hurting people!"
This sent Mary into a crazy rant. "He loves me! Everything we've done together is because he loves me! He died because he loved me!"
Trinity moved her head back away from the crazy yelling urban legend queen. She wasn't sure if she was going to hit her or not.
Mary just made an ax appear in her hand, holding it to the little girl. "You're lucky Spider wants to destroy you slowly, or I would hack you to pieces right now." The ax disappeared and Mary walked off to join Spider.
Beetle and Lydia talked to Vince, and he agreed to help. He was upset that Lydia chose Beetlejuice over him, but loved her enough to respect what she wanted. Plus, being friends was better then not being cared about at all. He had read stories about the Time Stone since his death, and learned that being the Royal Family made it so only he could help.
"I shall think of a way to help stop Spiderjuice so that we can send the poor child back to her rightful time." His storm cloud only drizzled. Though he was sad like always, his mind was more on helping his friend and the child they said was her future daughter.
Beetlejuice and Lydia were off again. They used the Phantom Flyer. Being a motorcycle that could switch into flying mode made it faster to get around. They swerved in and out of traffic or flew over it when it was really jammed up. They wanted to make it to Nightshade's Mansion as fast as they could go.
AN: Ok Chapter 5 will be the last Chapter for this Story. My favorite parts of this story are in the Attic scene where Trinity tried to jump the space between the modal & the couch & When Beetlejuice stood up for Lydia when the Maitlands accordantly made her feel bad for being with him.
