When you're out of ideas for that special someone, sometimes a new perspective helps.

I was approached by 'Mitchell Movie Productions' who had written a story called "Splitting Lyds", found on this site. She asked me to write a story with the same basic idea to see my "take" on it. I was reluctant, but here it is. (She wanted thousands; well, at least I got into the hundreds.)

A Halloween treat - Beetlejuice thinking about Lydia.

Okay, what are they actually talking about?

Lydia gets appendicitis. Beetlejuice gets just a little upset.

And when Beetlejuice defends someone, he can be mighty offensive.

BJ's whole afterlife changes when he found out Lydia and her family were murdered. Taking the Netherworld's clause and permission, he's ready to hunt down those responsible, but finds out that Lyds is in even deadlier trouble of becoming a Dead Shadow. A spirit doomed to live in their moment of torment on Earth. (BJ/Lyd Romance.) Rated for psychological horror and themes.

Pain. Love. They can be so much alike it's hard to tell them apart.

Doing what's right isn't always easy. But who should determine what is right?

The newlyweds are still discovering things about each other.

Even a conman like Beetlejuice can be inspired by Delia's artwork.

Lydia loses all her memories of Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice loses all hope.

Anyone can change; it just takes finding the right reason.

Beetlejuice gets a chance to be a hero, but what exactly is a hero anyway?

The play's the thing . . . Lydia designs, Beetlejuice detects, and then it's 'playtime'. (wink, wink)

A stranger hands Lydia a baby, telling her the child is Beetlejuice's. How does she deal with that?

Taking the family to a ball game is a tradition. Sometimes traditions start really early.

Meeting Claire Brewster again leaves Beetlejuice depressed and unhappy.

When you put Beetlejuice in charge of a group of kids, anything can happen.

Fun and fortunetelling at a fair, with an unexpected metaphor.

A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted . . . a time to weep . . . a time to mourn . . .

The give-and-take of married life. But who gives and who takes? (Plus a talk about sex.)

Beetlejuice decides to court Lydia . . . but who is actually courting whom? Does it matter?

When you need help, does it matter who gives it? When you can help, does it matter who needs it?

Okay, you all asked for a drunk Beetlejuice. Oh, you didn't? Well, you should have!
