Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own the Ghostbusters. Sadly, they belong to DIC.

A/N: Thank you to Mistress Sara and Erin Cummins for the reviews.

Now to the story!

"Peter!" The other guys said in unison, exasperated. "I was just kidding!" Peter said, with hands up in the air as if he was surrendering, " I'll try to talk her into staying." But it's not going to be easy, he thought. She's tried of Egon ignoring her. This could be a way to get his attention but somehow I doubt it. How can someone with Einstein's IQ be so dumb? Signing, he walked out of lab and headed for Janine's desk.

"What are we going to do?" Ray said, to both Winston and Egon, " Janine and Peter really care about each other but I think this is too far gone for her to be convinced by just Peter." "Well, we could let her see how much we need her," Winston said, looking at Egon, "ALL of us." " What are you implying, Winston?" Egon asked, one eyebrow raised. " I'm just saying we all need to show her we care and want her to stay." Winston said, minicking Egon's expression. "But how?" asked Ray, who was trying to ignore the tension in the air, "We don't have enough money to give her a raise." " I'm just saying we should be nicer to her," Winston said, " You know, be more friendly." " We are friendly," Ray said, "Though I suppose we could ask her about herself, you know, her family and where she's from. She knows a lot about us, but we know almost nothing about her." "We could try," said Winston, though he seriously doubted anyone, besides Egon, would have an affect on Janine.

OK, Petey, he thought as he came down the stairs, here goes nothing. Janine looked up as Peter head towards her desk. " Hi Dr.V," she said trying to sound normal. "Call me Peter," he began, " Janine, I wanted to talk to you about leaving." Oh, she thought heavily. " You know we all love you like family and we don't want you to go. I have a pretty good idea why you want to leave," he said. After pausing for a moment, Peter continued, " He doesn't realize how you feel. He was raised to be purely scientific, with no room for emotion. So he doesn't understand your emotion. I know you think he is rejecting you, but he isn't." Janine stopped him with, " My life doesn't revolve around him. I got over him a long time ago," she lied, "I know you guys care about me, and I care about you, but its time for a change. Besides,"she smiled, " you can hire one of those bimbos with more boobs than brains." "That's just my usual BS and you know it," Peter said, smiling back. The phone suddenly rung, breaking the moment. "Ghostbusters! A refrigerator is chasing you? What's your address? 234 Glendale Apartments on Fourth. Yeah they will be there in ten minutes." Hanging up the phone, Janine sounded the alarm and handed the address to Peter. "They get weirder and weirder with every call," said Peter.

Hearing the alarm, the others suited up and grabbed their gear. As they were leaving, Janine yelled " Bye guys!" and waved. Bye, guys she thought sadly, I going to miss you.

A/N: Though I know they are an inseparable team that never fights, Winston sees the pain Janine is going though and believes that Egon can help, but won't. Hence the sort of confrontation between them.

A/N: Hopefully I'll have the next chapter up soon. Plz review flames OK.
