Disclaimer: I don't own BeetleJuice (no matter how much I cry at night!)

The doorbell rang and Jacques rushed to answer it looking relieved. Lydia walked into the house and towards the kitchen, which BeetleJuice had completely demolished.

Lydia- "Hey Beej."

BeetleJuice jumped up in shock, hitting his head on a cabinet.

BeetleJuice- "Lydz! What are ya doin here? I thought ya were at school."

Lydia- "I'm on spring break, remember? So what's on the agenda for today?"

BJ tossed another can over his shoulder and slammed the cabinets shut as he turned to look at her.

BeetleJuice- "Food babes! I haven't eaten all day! Bone breath's cleanin scared all the grub away" he grumbled.

They left the house and after a short ride in Doomie (that sounds sooo wrong!) they stopped at a restaurant, allowing BJ a chance to pig-out on beetle-burgers.

BeetleJuice- "So, how are things goin with you and Prick?"

Lydia- "Stop calling him that!" she scolded, blushing.

BeetleJuice- "Fine, Dick then. It suits him just as well."

Lydia- "His name is Nick."

BeetleJuice- "Nick, Dick, Prick, Tick, it all sounds the same to me babes!" he said cramming more burger into his mouth.

Lydia- "You're sick." She said, giggling.

BeetleJuice- "You know it Lydz." He said as he smiled, showing beetle-encrusted teeth.

Several laughs later as the two walked down the streets of the Neitherworld, Lydia decided to redirect their light-hearted conversation into more serious territory (Oh God here it comes!).

Lydia- "So why do you care so much about me and Nick?" she asked. BJ's face fell and he looked away. A few moments passed in silence as he searched for an answer that wouldn't scare his friend away, but that would also prevent new skeletons from crowding his closet.

BeetleJuice- "Because ever since ya started datin him, you've stopped carin as much about us." He blushed and hastily added, "I mean it's not like I can hang around with bone-head and twinkle-toes all day."

Lydia caught the inner meaning of his words (yay an emo moment…shoot me.) and felt a lump in her throat as she turned and hugged her friend.

Lydia- "No one can take me away from you Beej." She whispered in his ear and felt his arms tighten around her. After a few moments, they broke apart and Lydia continued.

Lydia- "Just because I'm dating, doesn't mean I won't visit you. I just have to be careful. I don't want him to find you and freak out."

BeetleJuice- "He sounds like a sap to me." He said as his humor returned.

Lydia- "Oh come on BJ. Prick's not so bad once you get to know him." She said, earning a cackle from BeetleJuice.

Lydia- "Besides, I hear you've had a little company yourself." She said as she shot BJ a sly look.

BeetleJuice- "Only because I can't seem to shake her."

Lydia- "What do you mean?"

BeetleJuice- "I mean that she's always there!"

Lydia- "From what I heard, you haven't exactly been distancing yourself from her."

BeetleJuice- "It's kinda hard when she keeps pullin me in bed! I mean she ain't a bad lay, but it ain't worth puttin up with her ass!" he said, exasperated.

Lydia- "So why don't you break up with her, Beej?"

BeetleJuice- "I've been tryin to babes, but every time I do…somethin happens."

Lydia- "Maybe you like her a little more than you're willing to admit."

BeetleJuice- "No way Lydz! She ain't my type!" he said as he chanced a glance at Lydia.

Lydia- "Then get rid of her BJ. You've scared worse than her before." She looked at her watch.

"I've got to go, I'm meeting Nick tonight. I'll see you soon." She said as she hugged her friend good bye and left through the door to the outer world.

BeetleJuice- "Time to vanquish the bitch." He groaned as he made his way back to the Roadhouse.
