Yay for finally getting this done! Yay for it being an even number of chapters!

Some BJ purists might be a little...weird...about my take on BJ as revealed at the end of this chapter. But this is my fic and I'll end it how I want to! PLEASE for the love of GOD read and review!!

"Beetlejuice, for once I am forced to conclude that you were not to blame for this crime. Though it pains me to say this, you are free to go. Jennifer, you are hereby found guilty of the crime of homicide and are sentenced as your mentor was once ages ago. Your name will be cursed and you will live in solitude until such time as someone guesses and says your name three times."

"Wait just a damn minute. Ok, so she's cursed. But you better can that solitude shit. You can only do to her what they did to me, Juno. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Are you prepared to take responsibility for her, like I did once for you?"

"Yeah. I think me and her will get along nicely."

"So ordered. With your sentence read into the record, Jennifer, I see no reason to delay your cursing any longer.

"Never to return above

"Never to leave below

"By the powers, rule of three

"Vile creature I do name thee

"Harlequin, Harlequin, Harlequin!"

"Harlequin? Really? What, were 'The Joker' and 'Batman' both taken already?"

"Hah! Welcome to my club, babe."

"So I'm cursed now…like you?"

"Yep."

"Hmm. Yeah, ok, I can live with this. I just wish she would have used my real name. I like my name."

"That's how they do. They give you some fucked up name to make it harder for dead beats to guess."

"Wait…so that means Beetlejuice isn't your real name?"

"You got it, babe."

"So what's your real name? I'm dying to know! Hah hah!"

"Oh come on, can't a guy have a little mystery?"

"No. No he can't. Hah!"

"I've been dead for 600 years babe. Who says I can even remember my real name?"

"Because it's your name. C'mon. What's your real name, B?"

"Yeah…ok…guess I can tall ya. My real name is…"
