Boogeywoman and Egon

Series: Ghostbusters

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

A young boy with blue pajamas on was currently reading through a book talking about frog biology. "Fascinating, the male frogs croaking sends the females into heat, making them ready to mate, who knew?"

"Egon honey?" called a female voice outside the bedroom door. "Are you getting ready for bed?"

"I'm already ready mother, I'm just reading my biology book!" He called back.

"Well it's getting late, you can read it tomorrow at school."

"Alright." he sighed closing it and getting from his chair before walking over and shutting the lights off. "Hopefully tomorrow I can reach the chapter on how many flies they can digest to meet their own body weight." He then got into bed and crawled underneath the covers before closing his eyes.

A little bit away a glowing was seen behind his closet door. As the glowing grew brighter the door began to slowly open. It gave a low creak while a figure was seen before a hoofed foot stepped out and slowly moved towards the bed.

"Ooh, it seems like I've found a cute one." A smooth voice said quietly. The person moved closer while they wore a black suit with a white undershirt underneath, but they had bluish pale legs and hands with a matching face that looked like a mature woman and scraggly black hair and pointed ears. Though the biggest feature was her giant red lips covered in bright red lipstick.

The boy Egon twitched from the light, but stayed sleeping while she leaned down to get a closer look.

'Hmmm, blond hair, my favorite.' she smiled before leaning in closer and pressed her lips against his head.

Egon began to stir as he felt the soft pressure on his head. His eyes slowly opened as the figure pulled back and he blinked before slowly looking up at her face and felt fear hit him. "M-m-m-monster!" He stammered in fear.

"Well that is what I am." she giggled. "But please, call me by my real name, the Boogeywoman."

"B-but monsters aren't real, they can't be!"

"Oh?" she leaned in and looked him in the eye with a grin. "Then why am I right here?"

"I-it's impossible… you're impossible!" he sat up and scooted back while she giggled again. "MOTHER!"

"Uh-oh, time to go, see you later cutie." She said as she blew a kiss at him before running back into the closet.

Egon saw her vanish as the door shut just as his mother opened the door and turned the light on.

"Egon, what is it, what's going on?" She asked him as she looked at him with worry.

"M-M-Monster!" he cried pointing at the closet door.

"Really Egon, a monster in your closet?" His mother asked as she relaxed. "I think you're reading a little too much, wow never thought I'd say that." she muttered.

"But there was! It was just here! She's in the closet!" He said frantically as he pointed at the closet.

"She? Your monster is a girl?" His mother asked as she walked towards the closet. She grabbed the knob and opened it, but found it was the same as it always was. "Egon look, there's no monster."

"W-what? But she was here, I know it! She called herself the Boogeywoman!"

His mom shut the door and sighed. "Egon, there's no such thing. The only things to be scared of are things we can explain and see, and monsters aren't one of them."

"B-but I did see her, I know it, I think?" He said as he began to doubt himself.

"Just try and ignore it, you probably just imagined it from one of those crazy movies they show down the street." she moved over and tucked him back into bed. "Remember, monsters aren't real."

"But it felt so real…" He said as his mother kissed his forehead goodnight.

"Good night Egon, sleep tight, and do try to ignore it, you've got school tomorrow and you don't wanna be up all night."

"Ok, good night mother." he said as he closed his eyes. He heard the door shut while the closet door opened slightly while the female monster peaked in with a silent chuckle.

'I'm going to enjoy messing with this cutie.'

(The next night)

Egon wrote down some notes beside him on the desk regarding the american civil war for a test they had tomorrow.

"Egon, you ready for bed?" His mother called to him.

"Almost mother, I just have a few pages left to write down."

"Ok, but once you finish straight to bed!"

"Alright." he called back while he resumed writing notes before the glowing from the closet returned and heard the creaking sound. "What was that?" He said to himself as he turned to the closet door. His eyes widened seeing the light and saw a hoof step out while he jumped up and ran to under his bed covers. "It's not real, just a figment of my imagination, it's not real."

"Aw, now that's not a very nice thing to say, is it?" came a voice right next to him from under the covers.

"AHH!" he screamed jumping out and saw the Boogeywoman slowly sit up with a smile. "N-No! You're not real! You're just my imagination messing with me."

"Oh? Then if I'm your imagination how can I do this?" She said with a grin before puckering her lips and giving him a big kiss on the forehead.

"EEEEWWWW!" He said as he pulled away, a big red kiss mark left on his forehead. He tried wiping at the spot while she let out a chuckle. "That's not funny!"

"It is to me cutie, what's your name?" She giggled as he kept wiping the mark.

"Egon Spengler." he frowned before moving over to try and use a towel he had nearby to wipe the mark away.

"Egon, thats a nice name for my cutie." She giggled as he kept trying to wipe the mark away.

"Why won't it come off?" he frowned looking in a mirror.

"It's magic lipstick, it won't fade away unless I want it to." She giggled as he threw the towel down. "I wonder if I should keep it on for a week, or month. I can already imagine all the fun your classmates might have seeing it."

"What? No, you have to take it off, they'll think I have cooties!"

"That's silly, you're really smart but you think that's real? That's just a made up thing, but I'm not."

"Well how am I supposed to know?! A few moments ago I didn't think monsters were real but here you are!" he spoke pointing at her while frowning at the reflection. "Can't you just take it off?"

"Sure, but it'll cost you cutie." She giggled.

"Cost me what? I don't get my allowance until next week."

"I don't mean money, I mean a kiss." she pointed to her cheek. "One kiss right here and I'll take that mark away."

"W-what? But I haven't kissed anyone before!" He said with a blush.

"It's just one little peck, unless you want everyone to think you have the cooties." She giggled as she pointed at his forehead.

He sighed in defeat and said. "Fine." he walked over cautiously as she leaned down and blushed while leaning in close to her cheek before touching his lips and quickly pulled away. "There."

"Aw, you call that a kiss?" she pouted as she crossed her arms.

"Hey, I did what you said, now you do what you said." He said as he pointed at the kiss mark.

"Fine, but next time it will cost you extra." She said before snapping her fingers. The mark dispersed away before she heard footsteps. "Oops, sounds like I gotta leave, see you tomorrow."

"Wait, tomorrow?!" He said as she rushed into the closet and closed the door. "Wait!" he cried just as his mom opened the door again. "Mother she was just here! She wasn't an imaginary friend, she was a real monster!"

"Egon, we've been over this, there's no such thing as monster or boogeymen!" She said in annoyance.

"It was just yesterday, and it's Boogeywoman, but that's not important. She came from the closet like before, and left a kiss mark on my forehead too!"

"There's nothing on your head Egon, it's completely clean, now don't lie to me mister!"

"But I'm not lying mother! I saw it! Monsters do exist, and there's one in my own closet!" He said frantically as he ran to the closet and threw open the door. He looked around and tossed clothes out trying to find any sign of her.

"Egon, go to bed!" His mother demanded as she pointed at his bed.

"But-"

"Now." she cut him off with a firm tone.

"...Ok mother." He said as he slowly walked towards the bed.

She sighed and waited till he was in before turning the lights off. "And don't go imagining monsters, ok?"

"I didn't imagine her." He muttered quietly to himself as he closed his eyes.

(Years later)

"Misters, you have to help us, there's a monster in our closet!" A little boy and his sister pleaded to the ghostbusters.

"What?" blinked Ray. "A monster in your closet?"

"Yeah, it's the Boogeyman!" The little girl said, surprising Egon.

"Boogeyman?" he raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"We're really sure, so please help us ghostbusters!"

Egon held his chin before going to the back for his proton pack. "Let's go guys."

"What? You can't be serious Egon, the Boogeyman?" Peter said in disbelief.

"Trust me Peter, if this is the real thing, I can guarantee this is no joke." He said as he put on his proton pack.

"But it's the Boogeyman, it's not real!"

"You're saying that considering how many ghosts are just lying down in the basement?" spoke Ray with a raised eyebrow.

"Those are ghosts, this is different, the boogeyman is just a kids imagination, not a real thing like ghosts." Peter said in defense.

"That's what I thought too, before I saw her." Egon said as the others got their proton packs.

"Her? I thought the Boogeyman was well...a man?" asked Winston while getting his own pack on.

"No, it's definitely a female, trust me." He said as he shuddered a bit. "I know it all too well."

"Ok then, let's go." Peter said as they and the kids made their way to echo-1. They all got in and drove to where the kid's apartment was while they entered as quiet as they could to keep from waking their parents.

"Our room is over here, follow us." The girl whispered.

They followed and reached the bedroom while Egon brought out the PKE meter and saw the readings rise and fall. "There's something definitely here, no doubt about it." He said as he began to slowly walk towards the closet door. The readings suddenly spiked as he narrowed his eyes. "It's coming from here, just like all the other times."

Suddenly a light began to shine from the closet as the PKE meter began to spark and smoke.

"Woah!" he reeled back as it broke and stepped back. "It's her, she's coming!"

"Who's coming Egon?" Peter asked nervously as he unholstered his proton pack.

"HER." he unholstered his own as the door slowly opened with the kids hiding behind Winston. "Get ready for what comes out of there!"

The doors knob began to slowly turn as the light got brighter. When it opened up they stepped back and slowly saw a figure moving towards them.

'It can't be her, there are other Boogeymen, right?' He thought nervously.

Slowly they breached through and Egon's nerves went cold at seeing it was the same Boogeywoman from before.

"Alright kids, time to have some...Egon?" she spoke seeing the man and rubbing her eyes. "Is that you?"

"Y-yes, it's me." He said nervously, not knowing what she was going to do now.

"Egon, should we fire?" whispered Ray while stunned that it really was a woman.

"Egon, it's been so long." She said as she began to slowly walk towards him.

"S-Stand back, I'm armed." he warned holding his blaster up with a gulp.

"Egon, would you really shoot me after everything we've been through?" She asked as she kept getting closer and closer.

"Egon, what's she talking about?" asked Peter with curiosity.

"She lived in my closet for years until my family moved to a new house, she's the reason I got into the supernatural." He said as she stopped right in front of him. "And she hasn't aged a day since then."

"Yep, I'm immortal cutie, though I can't say the same about you." She said as she took a good look at him. "My, you got even cuter since the day I last say you, which reminds me…" she said as her smile turned to a frown. "Why did you move away? I never could find you again."

"Well, I got accepted into a good high school that was far away, why do you care?" He asked in confusion.

"I told you, you were MY cutie, and it really irked me." she growled while her hands started growing claws and her body began to grow. "REALLY really irked me."

"Egon, now?" Peter asked nervously as she grew even bigger and more monster like.

"Fire the streams!" He shouted as he began to back away.

"Don't you DARE!" she growled out loud before the streams shot out and hit her. "Ahhh! How dare you!"

"Egon, I don't think it's going to hold her that long!" spoke Winston as she reached out.

"Keep it up! We have to drive her back into the closet!" He shouted as they began to push her back.

"No! I won't be separated from you again!" she growled reaching out and grabbed Egon's ankle before moving back with one hand trying to block the streams.

"Guys, help!" He shouted as he tried to get his ankle free.

"I gotcha!" Ray ran over and grabbed Egon's hand and tried tugging while Peter and Winston kept the streams going.

"No! I will have him! I will have my cutie forever!" She shouted as she pulled Egon closer to herself before running into the closet with him.

"Egon!" they called out with Ray losing his grip and them seeing the closet door slam shut.

Peter ran over and opened it, but went wide eyed at seeing it was back to a normal closet. "Where'd he go?"

"I don't know, but it sure can't be good." spoke Winston.

Suddenly the bedroom door opened and the kids parents entered the room. "What's going on in here? And who are you?"

"We'll find Egon later, let's deal with this first." Peter said before turning to the parents. "Good evening folks, we're the ghostbusters, and we were just called in here due to some problem your kids had involving a certain Boogeyman, or woman in this case."

Meanwhile the Boogeywoman was dragging Egon through the portal, making sure not to loose her grip on him. Said scientist was trying to grab the ground, but there was nothing to grab onto. "Where are we and where are you taking me?!" He shouted as he struggled to get out of her grasp.

"My home." she smirked as they entered a realm with a long winding path and hundreds of doors on the walls that seemed to go on forever.

"This is incredible, is this how you were able to sneak into my room every night?" he asked in awe at the world.

"It's how I sneak into every single bedroom in the world." she smirked. "Why do you think I've made a name for myself for hundreds of years?"

"Fair point, and which door gets me home?" He asked as he tried to free his foot again.

"I'm not telling." she replied yanking him and holding him upside down with a smirk. "I went too long without seeing you, and I'd say you owe me for that."

"W-what exactly do you want then?" He asked, dreading the answer.

"Hmm, how old are you now?"

"T-thirty two?"

"Hmm, so if you were eight before, that means you owe me about twenty-four years worth of kisses, so that would be up to...8760 kisses in total." She said with a big grin as Egon paled.

"8-8760 kisses? Isn't that a bit much?"

"Well there is another way to shorten it down, after all you are ALL grown up." she grinned licking her lips.

"W-What?!" he blushed bright red.

"You heard me, and in exchange I'll let you go as long as I can visit you every night." She said with a wink.

He gulped and let that sink in. "Uh, could I possibly suggest a better man instead? I know this one who's light on his feet and all green, with a big appetite, might be better for you."

"Nope, I just want you cutie, no exceptions, there's no one like you." she smirked tossing him up and catching him when he flipped right side up with a hungry look in her eyes. "Now let's get started."

"Oh boy." He said before she pulled him into a big kissed that covered most of his face.

(Later)

"We've gotta think of something." spoke Ray to the others. "If we don't Egon might be trapped in who knows where and we might not see him again."

"Well what do you suggest? Egon was the brains of the operation and now he's gone!" Peter remarked.

"Maybe we'd find something if we could go back to that apartment." spoke Winston.

"Good luck, those parents were about to call the cops before we left." Peter added. "But what I don't get is why this was a literal Boogeywoman, I mean doesn't the old fairy tales say it's a man?"

"Technically yes, but not all myths are spot on. Maybe it was twisted when she was first seen and the fear of a Boogeyman stuck around better." spoke Ray.

"Good point, but how do we get Egon back?" Winston asked curiously before the closet began to glow.

"Ask her." spoke Peter noticing as they stood up. "Seems like she wasn't satisfied with one guy, now she wants the whole set, and we're it."

They stood tense as the door began to slowly open before seeing who was on the other side. Egon walked out with his hair messed up, looking tired, and with his suit looking torn up with kiss marks on his face and chest.

"Egon? Is that you, what happened?" Peter asked in confusion.

"Gentlemen, I've discovered some important stuff." he stumbled over onto a chair. "First, is that a Boogeywoman is more dangerous than a man, and I don't mean in the logical sense. Second, trying to keep up with an immortal is no way an easy task. Third, if you ever leave a girl, make sure you warn them. And finally, I think I'm gonna take a break from the color red for about...a month, two tops. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to pass out." He said before closing his eyes and passing out right as a note flew out of the door before it closed.

"What's this?" Ray walked over and picked it up.

Dear Egon, You were amazing, and now I know where you live, I can't wait to see you tomorrow. Love, the Boogeywoman.

"You mean he...and her...woah." spoke Winston while Peter walked over and patted Egon on the back.

"I don't know whether to feel so proud, or pray for him, so I think I'll do both, after some lunch, who wants Chinese?"

"Sure, but dibs on not telling Janice." Ray said with a grin.

"Tell me what?" asked the secretary after climbing up the stairs and noticed Egon. "Egon! What happened to him?"

"Um, Peter will tell you." Ray said quickly.

"Uh, after Winston." he quickly said.

"Ray can give you more details." spoke the man while looking through a crack in the door was the Boogeywoman snickering to herself.

'I can't wait to have more fun with you cutie.'
