"What the hell, it's not even this mobbish during new year's." Delilah muttered under hear breath as we pushed our way through the crowds. The NYPD had barricaded off all roads leading to Times Square.

"Do you see anyone?" I asked as we made our way through. My feet were killing me by now, stupid heels. I bet Sydney felt fine with her freakin' flats.

"Hey, is that?" Manny asked slowly. "Hey Ellen." He got my attention and I looked at him.

"What?" I asked as I held onto Sydney's hand and she pulled me through the crowds.

"Is that your car over there?" Manny asked and he looked over the crowds to the inside of the barricades.

"Wait what?" I asked. "Sydney, wait." I pulled her over closer to the barricade and stopped walking. We both looked over inside and parked about 20 feet away was Ecto 1. I sighed, this is gonna be a long night. I turned to Manny who was on the other side of me. "Yeah." Sydney pulled me along and we all made our way over to the car.

"What do we do?" Delilah asked as we got closer to the car.

"No freaking idea." Jo said.

"Hey there they are!" Peter yelled suddenly. He was leaning on the barricade on the other side. But what struck me the most was he was in full Ghostbusters uniform. Tan flightsuit, black boots, utility belt, it was all there. "Let them in officer." He pestered the nearby police officer who gave us a shrug. Oscar and Manny went in with Sydney and Me close behind. Delilah and Jo ran in right after us.

"Ellen," Kelle said once she saw us come around the car. "I don't think I can do this." She was wearing a Ghostbusters jumpsuit, with a pair of blue jeans and a black tank top underneath, but looking petrified. Her normal black hair seemed to be on edge just like her. "Can I just like work in the headquarters or something?" She was looking at me straight on, and needed an immediate answer.

"Um, I guess so. You can help Sam. I think we're good for tonight. Go home, I'll call you in the morning." I said. "Ok?" She nodded and gave me a hug. Then immediately took off the jumpsuit in the middle of the barricade.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Oscar asked as he looked at Kelle and me.

"Nothing," Kelle said and she handed the brown lump to me. I shrugged and she smiled. "Thank you." She gave me another hug and walked to the barricade where she nearly jumped it from anxiety.

"Ellen, you're not ready?" Sydney asked as she walked up to me. She was wearing normal blue jeans and a black v neck t-shirt and some awesome black extra hi top converse sneakers.

"What? Where'd you?" I sputtered then shook my head. "No I'm not, lead the way my friend." Sydney smiled.

"Come on," She started to near the back of the car where the Jo and Delilah were. "Remember that one time I was like, can you bring a pair of normal clothes to the firehouse?" I nodded. "Well this is why." She took Kelle's flightsuit away from me then handed me a small pile of my clothes. A pair of blue jeans and an old black t-shirt. I immediately kicked off my heels and pulled the jeans up, with my dress still on, and fixed the button. I pulled my t-shirt on over my dress and then maneuvered the dress off. Then I realized I just changed in the middle of Times Square, I don't give a damn.

"Thank you Syd." I said and I gave her a hug.

"Syd?" Sydney asked me and I nodded.

"It's a nickname, because you're a friend who deserves it." I responded. Sydney smiled back.

"Oh my gosh, I just remembered this." Sydney said. She walked around the car and opened the door. She grabbed three shoe boxes and came back around. "Delilah, take the top one." Delilah did. "Ellen, then Jo." I took the box then Sydney handed the other box to Jo who just smirked.

"You know what's in here, don't you?" I asked Jo slowly.

"Ok, remember that time I was like to Sydney, we should redo the uniforms?" Jo asked. Delilah and I both nodded. "Well she made me keep the khaki, but she let me put short sleeves on the summer uniforms and she also said I can pick out new shoes, if I could find some with steel toes."

"No," Delilah said as she glared at Sydney's feet. "No way." Jo jammed her foot onto Sydney's left foot. Sydney flinched but then she smiled and nodded.

"Jo designed them herself, she had to call Converse and make them custom with the whole steel toe thing. But they do the whole other custom thing. Open the boxes." We all tore open our boxes and looked at the treasures inside. Delilah's were black all around with a white tongue and red laces, Jo's were all red with black laces, mine were white with a red tongue and black laces, and Sydney's, being as traditional as she was, were all black with black laces.

"Syd, these are amazing. But, the best is you and Jo getting along finally." I said and pulled my shoes on. They were all extra high tops so they look like boots but they weren't but they still are technically.

"I don't mean to break up this happy moment, but there's a job to be done." Dad said as he walked around the corner and looked at us. He was wearing a Ghostbusters Uniform too and carrying a medium sized box. "Whoa, who approved those?" Dad said pointing at our feet.

"I did Dr. Stantz." Sydney said. Dad shrugged and reached into the box.

"Here are the suits, just came in a couple days ago, so I'm told." Dad said. Sydney shrugged. Someone grabbed me from behind. I almost yelped then they started to talk.

"So, how do you like a man in uniform?" Manny asked me. He was standing next to the other guys, Jesse, Buster, and Oscar. They all had on their final uniform with real boots. I shrugged and smiled.

"Sydney," Dad said and handed a blob to her. "Ellen," He said and handed a blob to me and winked. "Jo," Jo took her blob. "And Delilah," He handed one to her and she unfolded it right away. Sadie tucked her pant legs into her shoes then stood up and pulled up the upper half of the suit. I did the same and so did Delilah. We looked at Jo as she left her pant legs over her shoes.

"No one is gonna get to see those red monsters." Delilah said as she looked at Jo.

"I don't know," Jo said as she shrugged. "I don't feel right tucking pants into something. Tucking a shirt into pants, sure, but not the other way around." The guys walked over to us and spread out evenly between us. "You too?"

"Yup," Oscar said as his pants dangled past his shoes.

"Slackers," Sydney mumbled and shook her head. Winston ran up to us with a bundle in his hand.

"Hey everyone," He said and we all smiled. "Ladies, take one and wear it just below your waist, everything you need should be attached. Ask one of us if something is missing." He handed each of us a belt. The guys already got theirs.

"How can we be sure if nothing is missing?" Jo asked. Sydney looked at her. "Yeah, never mind, it's all there." He walked away from us back to where he was before. I looked at the belt gizmo thingy and listened to Sydney playing with her P.K.E. meter when it suddenly hummed very loudly.

"Is that thing ok?" Jesse asked. Out of all of us, he knew the least about the inner workings. He got the main ideas, but he said he'd only work the summer.

"No." Sydney said quickly and suddenly there was a burst of light coming from the direct center of the square. We all ducked down then stood up again to see what happened. "It's pack time." She stood near the doors of the car and motioned for me to come over. She managed to pick up one of the packs herself and she got me into it. There were 8 of us, but we knew something was going to happen and moved quickly.

"Sydney, why did you have to be a parapsychologist, and not like a med doctor, I would like the hospital right now instead of the middle of the city with a sixty pound weight on my back." Jo said.

"It's what you get." Sydney said. I glanced at Manny.

"Anything?" I asked.

"Nope." He said to me. The shield was still up, or whatever it was. The ground seems to shake and we all looked at where the light is in the middle. Dad and his guys are spread out around the whole square, one at each corner. They each had a pack on too. Sydney pulled me over to the side between Egon and my Dad. Everyone else spread out evenly. It was twelve against K dimension, bring it on.

"No one shoot, unless one of us instructs you to." Dad yelled. I glanced past the light and saw one of the jumbotrons; it had a live feed of what's going on right here. I shook my head; well everyone across the country knows what's going on now. The light surged brighter and Sydney's meter beeped at an insanely fast pace. Another explosion occurred and the light became bigger.

"It's a portal." Sydney whispered. She looked at me and sighed. "This won't end well." A proton stream exploded out from the other side and narrowly missed my head.

"Who the hell was that? No one should be shooting." I said and looked at Dad who was trying to figure out who was firing. The stream got pulled back.

"Crap, I didn't mean to do that." Oscar said. "I don't know what got into me."

"That can't be good." I said to Sydney and she nodded. The portal grew bigger and a flash of light burst out of it.

"You can't be serious, Pete, look who's here." Dad said as he looked at the green light hovering over Jo's head. Without warning the light flew into Jo and took its shape. It was Slimer, the onion headed ghost. It flew away from Jo and up into the sky.

"Are you serious?" Peter yelled.

"Serious?" Jo yelled. "The thing just slimed me." She looked disgusted and Delilah was laughing her head off next to her. "It's not funny!"

"Must run in the family." Egon said with a chuckle. He pushed his glasses closer to his face and looked less than serious for once.

"That stupid spud slimed me, when was that?" Peter started to ramble and everyone forgot about the portal almost. Sydney and I only half listened. Oscar wasn't listening at all. He was only a few feet away from the portal.

"Sydney, do something."I said softly. She noticed what was happening and began to freak out. "Hey, this is not a time to panic, just do something!" We got Manny's attention and he immediately tried to blast Oscar away.

"What are you doing trying to shoot me?" Oscar yelled and shot back at him.

"Boys!" Winston yelled. "Never fight with the streams." Manny pulled back his stream but Oscar kept firing at him.

"He's possessed." Egon concluded.

"Belas?" Sydney asked.

"Maybe." He replied. Suddenly his stream stopped short and he fell to the ground. The portal surged again and got brighter and bigger. Buster and Jesse ran up to him and dragged him over near Ecto 1 and took his pack off so he couldn't do anymore damage.

"Who's that?" Delilah asked as a figure appeared near the portal.

"Belas." Sydney and I breathed at the same time.

We're nearing the end of this expedition through the rain forest, or as Alicia Keys puts it, "A Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made of." How nice.
