Disclaimer: I own nothing, just Sam my OC.

I'm so excited to start writing on the movie parts again! I am really enjoying this and I would love some comments to hear about how you are enjoying it too! Without further ado...

The Court Room

Sunday had gone by in a blur. First she met Louis Tully, a nervous sort of fellow, and also the last member of the Ghostbusters, Winston Zeddemore, who she had not really seen around lately. Louis and the four former Ghostbusters discussed what would probably happen during the trial and none of it sounded good. Sam was pretty sure Louis had no idea what he was talking about and unfortunately none of them could afford a 'real' lawyer. It was all pretty depressing.

Sam walked into the courtroom with her best smile and suit on. She would put on a brave face for Ray and all of them. No matter what, it would work out. Now if only she could believe it. Her facade nearly broke when she heard the judge speak for the first time. "Before we begin this trial, I want to make one thing very clear. The law does not recognize the existence of ghosts. I don't believe in them either. Don't want to hear a lot of malarkey about goblins and spooks and demons. We're gonna stick to the facts in this case and leave and the ghost stories to the kiddies, understood?"

Winston leaned over the counter and said, "Wow. Sounds like a pretty open-minded guy, huh."

Almost nonchalantly Egon added, "Yeah, they call him 'The Hammer'."

If Sam had been scared for them before, she was terrified now. This was their judge? And almost as if to add icing to the cake, Ray added his two cents. "What can we do? It's all in the hands of our lawyer now." They all turned to look at their 'lawyer' who was walking up to them with two arms up to the pits with books.

As he set them down on the counter before Ray, Peter and Egon; Louis shared this thoughts. "I think you guys are making a huge mistake. I mostly do tax loans and probate stuff occasionally. I got my law degree at night!"

This was the straw that broke the back for Ray's camel because he slumped his head down in defeat after stating. "Well, that's fine Louis. We got arrested at night."

Sam put her hand on Ray's shoulder and gave it encouraging squeeze. Ray's arm flew up and grasped her's, squeezing it in return. Ray's head didn't lift from the table but she doubted if he had the energy for it.

Finally he turned around and his eyes pleaded with hers for a moment. Reaching over the bar, Sam gave Ray a hug while half standing up. While her chest was in his face, by the awkward angle of the hug, she kissed him on the top of the head. As she choked down a sob, the trial began.

'I wonder what it will be like to date someone in jail? Should I send a cake with a file in it?' Sam knew there was going to be no way out of it. She had hoped before the trial that they would have a nice, understanding judge...no such luck. It was a disaster. From Louis addressing the 'audience' to her finding out they had broken the law by not heeding their restraining order regarding their Ghostbuster equipment.

The only interesting part had been when Sam saw the slime for the first time. Ray looked behind his shoulder at her and smiled. He was proud and excited about it still, even after all the trouble it had given them. Sam gave him an encouraging smile.

However, the revery was broken, when the man being questioned accused them of putting the slime down in the sewers. "Whatever's down there, they must've put it there." Sam was shocked as Ray jumped out of his chair and started to shout "No, we didn't!" She had never seen Ray so enraged before, for awhile she had even wondered if Ray ever got angry. 'He does when his honor and word are questioned.' Sam concluded.

Louis and Egon grabbed at Ray as the judge screamed "Shut up!" and banged his grovel on his desk.

Watching Peter being questioned by Louis made tears of laughter and worry spring into her eyes. God, none of them had any idea what they were doing! At least he was honest when Peter answered Louis' question of "Do I?", when it came time for Louis to continue asking questions or not. Peter replied with "No, we've helped them out enough already." If that wasn't 'leading the witness', than Sam had no idea what that phrase meant.

Peter did bring a surge of pride to all of them as he was questioned by the prosecuting attorney. He answered her question of why they were digging a hole in 1st avenue with, "There are some things in this world that go way beyond human understanding. Things that cannot be explained. Things that most people don't even want to know about. That is where we come in." Dr. Venkman motioned to Egon and Ray with a look of pride. Sometimes he might act like he didn't care but deep down, he was a Ghostbuster all the way.

Egon and Ray shook their heads at each other in a conceited way. After all that had happened they were still so proud of themselves and what they had done. They would always be Ghostbusters no matter how much trouble or heart ache it gave them.

Sam was quickly reminded what kind of man Peter was as he called the prosecutor a 'kitten.' Sam rolled her eyes in a good-natured way. 'What a heel.' But what came after the 'kitten' comment made Sam respect him again.

"Sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?"

Knowing Peter was such a roller coaster. Hell, all of them were so unpredictable. Sam cheered with the rest of the courtroom until the judge screamed "Shut up!" He was such a downer.

"Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler, stand up. Get up! You too, Mr. Tully"

Finally it was over. Sam crossed her fingers and hoped for a miracle. However, from the tone of his voice when he had yelled their names, it spelled a bad end for all.

Ray caught a quick glance back at her as he stood up, and she shot him a smile. The look on Ray's face seemed less than hopeful. As he turned his head back to face the judge, Ray realized he had had no reason to worry about a relationship with Sam because from this moment on he was an incarcerated man. He was proved correct as Judge Wexler said "I find you guilty on all charges! I order you to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each!"

Oh god, this was terrible! Sam buried her face in her hands. This caused her to miss the slime bubble, which Ray did not. However, Sam did see Ray hitting Egon's arm with his own and excitingly saying in a low voice, "Egie, she's twitching." Ray's voice raised in excitement.

'Twitching?' What was Ray going on about at a time like this? Sam was in totally bewildered until she realized what they were looking at. 'The slime! That must have been it. What in the world was going on?'

The guys tried to warn the Judge about the slime but he completely ignored their warnings. When the slime popped it's lid off and started to overflow onto the container, Sam started to get really worried. So did the others, because when it looked like it was going to explode, Egon pointed to under the desk. Seeing them duck under it, Sam knelt down too. She didn't want to get hit by it. Sam knew all about Peter's 'slimed' experience.

The slime did explode but instead of spewing slime all over the courtroom, two figures came out of the slime. "They're ghosts!" Sam screamed. She couldn't help herself. Of all the things she had thought was going to happen, this wasn't it. Sam went from worried to beyond excited in two seconds. She knew Ray was feeling the same way. It was fantastic! In a terrible way...

Papers started to fly everywhere and people started to run for the exits screaming their heads off. Sam heard Ray yell "Wow!" without a trance of fear. She had never heard him sound so giddy.

Suddenly the ghosts took form, class 4. Sam was so excited she could use her new terminology. They looked like two men in electric chairs, one fat one thin. They floated on either side of the judge's stand and he yelled out "Oh my God, the Scoleri brothers!"

'Scoleri brothers?' Sam had a feeling that, whoever they had been while they had been alive, it probably wasn't nice.

Judge Wexler managed to leap from his chair before the two Scoleri brothers crashed into it and made the whole pulpit explode. He did a dive and crawled to where the guys were under the desk. Surprisingly graceful for a man his age. Leaning into it, Judge Wexler yelled "The Scoleri brothers!"

Ray could barely keep the humor out of his voice as he asked, "Friends of yours?"

"I tried them for murder!-Gave them the chair!" The Judge looked up to see the thin Scoleri brother, Tony, scouring the courtroom, as if he was looking for something...or someone. "You've got to do something!" Pure panic was in his voice now.

"Why don't you tell just them you don't believe in ghosts?" Egon asked logically. Ray nodded in agreement.

Sam laughed despite the insane situation. It was a logical question to a logical situation. Except what was happening now was none of that. She had been expecting something like this eventually, so she was relatively fine, Sam had no idea how the 'I don't believe in anything I can't see' judge was handling it.

All of a sudden, Sam watched in horror as the desk the guys were hiding under was lifted up from both ends by Nunzio and Tony. They ran for cover behind a screen on the side of the room. Sam wasn't sure if they two ghosts had seen her, but she ran for cover as fast as she could with them. The two brothers took the desk and thew it at the judge stand that they had crashed into earlier.

The Judge went straight to the door that should have opened to the holding block, but it didn't. After banging on it in a desperate manner, Judge Wexler turned around and grabbed Ray's jack-lapels. "You gotta do something! Help me!" In a surprisingly calm voice Ray stated "Don't talk to me,-talk to my attorney." Ray turned to face Louis and Sam was astonished at his demeanor. 'Hes enjoying this! Well, of course he is. All this was proving him right! All of them right! There are ghosts!' Sam couldn't wait to see what happened next.

As if he had been waiting for it, Louis took his cue. "And that's me! My guys are still under a judicial estrangement order! That blue thing I got from her! They could be exposing themselves!"

Of course, Peter had to point at the Judge around Louis' side and say "And you don't want us exposing ourselves." How every well put. 'Maybe not...' Sam caught herself thinking.

Suddenly screaming came from the courtroom and all of the leaned out from the screen to see who it was. Not even realizing she had still been in the room, Sam and the guys watched as the female prosecutor was carried upside down from the courtroom by her ankle by the fat Scoleri brother, Nunzio. Sam saw the crowd that had still been outside start to scream again and run around in circles.

This put the fear of ghosts into Judge Wexler even more. Grabbing his head, and screaming he dashed behind the screen again. With a deranged look in his eyes and his hair going every which way, the Judge yelled, "Agggghhh!"

Peter looked him in the eye and said calmly, "You're next bubbles."

Although it pained him greatly, Judge Wexler shook his fists and yelled "All right, all right! I rescind the order! Case dismissed!" Sam saw Ray break out into a huge smile and thump Egon in the arm, who was also smiling. "Yes." Egon simply stated. Louis exclaimed in jubilation "Hurray, we won the case!"

Ray winked at Sam and then took the smile off of his face. It was all business now.

Sorry to end it now. Noticed the chapter was getting a bit long, plus I want to leave you all in suspense! Let me know how you are liking it! Till next time!
