Hey everyone! I'm back with another story! This is based on the video game. I honestly love the script for the game and I am so excited to write a story for it with Juliet. Hope every one likes this and please, please, please leave a review. It keeps me motivated and lets me know what you all like and what you don't like so I can improve. Thanks so much for the support and here we go!

Juliet shot a proton stream at the three ring red target in the middle of the junkyard. Target practice was starting to become a regular thing for her. The others didn't really see a need for it. Well mainly Peter. The others were just busy. But still. She fired again and hit the second circle. She sighed and wiped a hand across her forehead.

Her attention shifted when she heard the gravel crunch behind her. The Ecto-1A drove up to her and stopped a couple feet away. Ray stepped out of the car and she smiled.

"Peter said you would be here." he said.

"Yeah well this is the only place I can get some practice in and not cause damage that wasn't wanted." she replied and he chuckled.

"I guess you're right." he took off his sunglasses and dark blue flannel shirt he on over a black t-shirt.

"Let me try."

She tried not to stare at him but she brushed that thought away. He's her boyfriend now. She had all the right to stare. She handed him her pack and he strapped it on.

"So I gotta aim for the little circle in the middle right?" he asked, a small grin on his face. "Because so far, that seems to be the only part you haven't hit."

Juliet glared at him. "Yes, Raymond. Hit the little circle in the middle."

He laughed but quickly shifted into his "serious" mode and aimed at the target. He fired once and his shoulders slumped when he saw he only managed to scrape the top of the third circle.

"You were saying?" Juliet smiled smugly and put her hands on her hips.

"Fine, fine. It's not as easy as I thought." he said with a roll of his eyes and a frown.

Juliet grinned. "You can try again if you want."

"I will." he said and he grit his teeth. He let out a small breath as he aimed and fired a quick proton stream. He shouted triumphantly when he saw he hit the center perfectly.

"H-How? I've been practicing all week and I haven't been able to hit it!" Juliet whined and Ray laughed.

"Well, what can I say? I'm just that good."

Right when he said that, he ducked at the stone Juliet threw at this head. He kept laughing even when she glared at him.

"Okay, okay. Look, I'll help you."

Juliet stared at him with her frown still set on her face but gave in after a few seconds.

"Fine."

"Okay, come here."

Ray motioned for her to come closer and she did, taking the pack from him and strapping it on. He put his arms around her and she stiffened.

"Relax, I'm not gonna hurt you or anything." he said with a soft chuckle that made a shiver run down her back.

"You're doing this to distract me." she said, her voice wavering a bit, clearly showing she was flustered. He smiled.

"I'm not. Just focus on this." he took her hands which were gripping the patrona wand and raised them up. "Okay, take a deep breath and when you're ready, release it slowly."

She nodded and squinted at the target. She took a deep breath and released it as she fired. She shut off her wand and grinned when she saw she fired in the same spot Ray had.

"I did it!" she exclaimed as she jumped up and down.

"Okay, okay, don't drop the pack." Ray laughed as he said it.

Juliet smiled and she grabbed him, pulling him into a kiss.

He gladly reciprocated and wrapped his arms around her. The kiss was short but sweet. They separated and Ray smiled at her.

"I love you." he said and her eyes widened.

"You l-l-love me?" she stuttered and he nodded, finding her reaction funny but cute at the same time.

"Yeah. Is that bad?" he asked and she rapidly shook her head

"No, no, no. That's g-great." she stuttered a bit but managed to calm herself down. He really liked surprising her. She both loved and hated it. Now she probably looked like an idiot. But at least he finally said it. She had wanted to hear that from him for so long.

"I love you too." she said once she got her composure and he smiled.

"Okay. Great." he said simply and she laughed, making him laugh. Target practice could be finished later.

Peter sighed as he picked up the application on his desk and skimmed over it. He love the idea of getting more people into the business but it was mainly to get out of doing work, not getting more of it. He looked over the sheet of paper with a bored expression. After reading 20 already, they were all starting to sound like the same person. No one was interesting. At least interesting in his standards.

It was 1991 and about two years had passed since the whole Vigo event happened. They were given official government contracts stating that they worked for the city now which helped a lot with paying for damages because now instead of it coming out of their pockets, it came out of the city's. They even got breaks for holidays now too. If you had a haunting or possession on say, Easter, it wasn't their problem until after the break.

But because of this government contract, they had a lot more paperwork to fill out. Most of the time, either Juliet or Egon would fill it out but with Winston back in school, they were both needed for jobs and calls so another hand was definitely wanted. And they left Peter to figure out who got picked.

He let out another sigh and just closed his eyes and randomly picked out a paper. It probably wasn't the most responsible decision but hey, when has he ever cared about being 'responsible'?

At that moment, the others came back from one of the calls they had gotten today.

"Well, I picked someone out. Hopefully this one lasts longer than a day." He said as the others put away their packs in their lockers.

"Yeah I hope so." Juliet replied. "I miss having Winston's help. I mean, I'm happy he's doing so well but still."

Ray walked over to Peter and took the paper from him. "He seems qualified enough. Took some engineering classes and physics too. That's more than some of the other people have done."

Egon nodded. "I do need someone to test out the new pack we just finished."

"Are we gonna call him today then?" Juliet asked and Ray shrugged.

"Why not. The sooner we can start training, the better."

"Training?" Peter got up from his desk and walked over to them. "How much would that cost us? I mean, we never had training and we turned out just fine."

Juliet rolled her eyes. "Your definition of fine does not equal the city's definition."

"I'll give him a call right now. See if he can come in today." Ray said with a chuckle and walked over to the phone. He handed the paperwork for the completed job they just did to Janine who made a face and added it to the stack they had growing.

"We really need to get to that." Juliet said, glaring at the stack of paperwork they had and Egon glanced at it and winced. He loved hands on work but paperwork was not his thing.

"I know. You need to find some time to help Janine with that."

"Yeah, I - wait what?" she turned to him and he laughed.

Ray hung up the phone and looked over to Juliet and Egon. he saw her hitting him lightly on the shoulder while he laughed at something. Ray smiled.

"So I talked to the guy. He's coming over just a bit later." Ray said as he walked over to them. Juliet turned to him and smiled brilliantly at him, her eyes twinkling.

Ray felt his heartbeat speed up at the sight and he resisted the want to grab her and kiss her.

"Great!" Juliet replied. "Can't wait to meet him." she kissed his cheek and walked up stairs.

"I'll go get the new pack ready. I'll have him test it out once he gets here." Egon said and cleared his throat when he saw Ray only nodded, still staring after Juliet, a dopey smile on his face.

Ray blinked and turned to Egon. "What? Sorry."

Egon rolled his eyes. He started up the stairs and Ray called after him

"What?" Ray asked. "What?"

A few hours later, Juliet sat with Janine at her desk, chatting and casually filling out the many sheets of paperwork when a man walked into the firehouse, looking around, a confused look on his face.

Juliet looked up and got off from her seat on the desk.

"Hi, how can I help you."

"I'm here about the position for the Ghostbusters." he said, a bit timid.

"Oh! Right!" Juliet smiled and extended a hand. "I'm Juliet Barlow."

"Hi. Brian." he said and shook her hand. "You're a ghostbuster too, right? I've seen you."

"Yeah, I am." she said with a smile.

"You're very pretty." he said and then his eyes widened. "Uh I mean, uh, sorry. That was inappropriate. I shouldn't have said that."

Juliet laughed. "It's fine. When you work with Venkman for a while, who you'll meet in a minute, you'll see that wasn't as inappropriate as you'd think."

"Oh uh okay." he replied.

They walked over to Janine and Brian shook her hand.

"Janine, this is Brian. He's here about the position."

"Oh great. Hopefully you manage to stick around longer than the others."

"Um, others?"

Juliet coughed. "Uh ignore that. Let's go upstairs. I'll introduce you to the rest of the team."

They walked up the stairs and found the other three there. Egon was strapping on the new proton pack onto Ray while Peter watched, semi-bored.

"Hey guys, look who I have with me." Juliet announced and the others looked over.

Ray grinned. "Hey! It's the new cadet. Welcome aboard!"

Egon simply nodded at him and then went back to adjusting the pack.

"This might be a little dangerous."

"Great." Ray scoffed. "Danger is our life."

Brian leaned over to Juliet. "Are they always doing stuff like this?"

"Yeah. It's hard keeping them alive." she sighed.

"We'll start at fifty-percent capacity. That should keep any burning or tissue damage to a minimum." Egon said and Ray nodded, looking perfectly calm.

"Wait, what? Hold on-" Juliet stepped forward and Peter spoke up to.

"Hey, if you're gonna burn any tissue, do it to the new kid." Peter muttered. Brian frowned.

"Yeah, can we maybe not use Ray? I don't want my boyfriend to get burned." Juliet added.

Peter continued. "Besides, our mortgage is in his name."

Juliet glared at him and he grinned at her.

Ray shrugs. "I guess he's right." he looks over to the rookie. "What's your name again, kid?"

Brian went to respond but Peter cut in.

"No names, Ray. I don't want to get too attached to this kid. You know, just in case." he smirked. "You remember what happened to the last guy."

"Very funny Peter." Ray said dryly. He slipped off the pack and handed it back to Egon.

"Alright cadet, come on." Egon nodded at the new guy and he looked over to Juliet.

"It's fine. I'll make sure nothing bad happens." she said assuredly

He took a breath and walked over to Egon and Ray and let them strap on the pack onto him.

Ray fiddled with it a bit, making the rookie more and more nervous but he finally finished and stepped back.

"He's tuned and ready to go."

"You may feel a little tingle." Egon warned him and the rookie stiffened. Egon didn't notice the nervous look on the rookie's face and kept talking. "We've perfected an extensive and rigorous training regimen that will teach all your equipment's basic functions."

Ray nodded. "It takes some time to achieve the skill and accuracy we have but it's definitely worth the effort."

Juliet leaned over to Peter and muttered, "Wait, we have skill and accuracy?" making him laugh.

At that moment, a strong energy force moved through the firehouse, getting the attention of everyone there.

They all stood in place, looking around at each other in confusion.

Egon fixes his glasses and looks at the others. "Was that us?"

"I don't think so." Ray said but he sounded unsure.

"Ray?" both Peter and Juliet asked at the same time.

Ray cleared his throat and spoke again. "It had to be some sort of psi energy pulse. Substantial too. A significant collected and centralized necromantic convulsion level seven or more."

Egon grabs his PKE meter as Janine rushes up the stairs to where they are.

"Agreed." Egon moves the meter around him, the machine doing loud and fast beeps. "We need EMF measurement checks now."

"I know the answer," Janine said, finally speaking up. "But I'm gonna ask anyway… is a level seven, uh, whatever… bad? Or very bad?"

"Well on a scale from one to ten," Egon responds. "I would say…"

Peter cut in, a playful tone in his voice. "Let me guess. It's a seven."

"Let's just say we're about to get real busy." Ray said, hiding a small amount of annoyance.

Peter notices though and grins. "And that is not the fun kind of getting busy,"

Ray glared at him and Peter held back a laugh. "Is it, Ray?"

Right before Ray was about to respond to Peter's innuendo, Slimer came flying up the stairs and flew around the room.

"Oh shit." Juliet swore and ducked, wanting to avoid getting slimed again. "That slime ball escaped again."

"No, wait, come back." Peter said, his voice dripping in sarcasm.

"Let's move!" Ray said as he quickly grabbed a proton pack and followed Slimer down the stairs, Egon close behind him.

Peter and Juliet exchanged a glance but quickly followed them, the rookie in tow.

They get to the ground floor and Peter stops.

"I'm just gonna wait here." he says. "I remember the last time we had to deal with that spud. I'm not risking getting slimed."

The rookie stood at the top of the stairs heading to the basement and looked confused.

"It's fine. Just follow Ray and Egon downstairs." Juliet said. She grabbed a broom and shoved another into Peter. "We'll be up here cleaning up the broken glass. Right, Peter?" she said

Peter glared at her and sighed. "Yeah I guess."

Brian gives her a nod and follows the other two downstairs.

Juliet and Peter go over to Slimer's original holding case and start sweeping up the broken glass on the floor.

"I knew keeping that thing was a stupid idea." Peter grumbles and Juliet chuckled.

"Well, too late to protest now." she said.

They cleaned in silence for a while. Peter kept shooting glances at Juliet and his mind kept drifting over to the secret he was keeping for Ray. It was so hard not to tell her and talk about it. Part of him just wanted to talk about it because he was a natural born gossip but the other part wanted to be sure she wouldn't break his best friend's heart. He knew that was very unlikely, it was very obvious how much she cared about him and the fact that she had liked him long before they got together makes it more obvious that she was most likely going to say yes. But still. In the business they were in, marriage wasn't really the best thing to do.

He knew his mind was going to go back to her but he shook his head. He needed a distraction.

"So," he started and Juliet looked over to him. "What do you think of the new guy?"

"He's sweet." Juliet said with a smile. "He reminds me a bit of Ray, back when he was in high school. Very awkward and shy. But he seems to be doing okay handling everything. Especially with this going on."

Peter went to respond but the other three came running up the stairs and Juliet and Peter dropped their brooms.

"Well? Did you catch him?" Juliet asked.

"Yup!" Brian raised his first trap proudly.

"That's great!" Juliet grinned at him and Egon cleared his throat.

"Yes well, he did catch his first ghost but Slimer is still out."

"So wait, who's that?" Peter pointed at the trap the rookie was holding up.

"We're not sure." Ray said. "We accidentally hit the containment unit which released another ghost so that's the one the kid caught. Slimer escaped though so we gotta head out to go find him."

"Oh great." Peter groaned.

"Where are we going then?" Juliet asked with a sigh and they all walked over to the Ecto-1b.

"The Sedgewick Hotel. It's the first place that little spud will go." Ray answered.

Egon nodded. "Right. Back to its initial manifestation point."

"They've got a real good buffet." Juliet joked as she got into the car and Peter followed her.

"It's a great one. Oh, when Winston returns from the opera, extend an invitation to join us at our table at the Sedgewick."

Peter turned to the rookie. "You're up buddy! Training will be on the job tonight."

Brian rolled his eyes. He was starting to see why they called Dr. Venkman "the mouth" of the Ghostbusters. He never stopped talking.

"Try not to destroy too many Manhattan landmarks." Peter said as the rookie got into the car. "That's our job."

The car sped out of the firehouse and went straight to the Sedgewick Hotel.
