AN: I miss my Mac. Nero had another seizure Saturday morning and when he rolled of my bed he fell on my laptop. And broke it. So now I have a Dell, and I hate it. I probably shouldn't have had my Mac on the floor, but it was just more convenient. Me being laptopless is also why I never replied to my reviews. I had an anonymous reviewer whose comments I wanted to address, so I'll do it here. Ghosts having blood and heart "beats" (it doesn't actually beat, remember?) seemed to make sense to me. Yup. And Beej and Kitty needed a physical bond of some sort. Neither of them know of this bond yet, but it'll be pretty important in the end of the sequel. Dunno yet if that's when they'll find out, or if that'll be in the third one. Who knows! Thanks to Crow-kun, Eris-chan, Calm-Waters-chan, Animekitty47-chan, my anonymous reviewer, and Jessica-chan for the reviews. Now I bring you the final chapter of Stars!

Chapter 16: Such a sucker for a pretty girl in black

When I woke up, I was a little surprised not to see Beetlejuice next to me. I was just used to him being there now. But I did see a black and red striped box with a stylized "MD" on it.

I pulled the box closer, and lifted the lid. There was this blacker than black fabric dusted with silver sparkles. I sat up and pulled the fabric out.

"Oh my gosh." It was a dress. Strapless, of course, like all my Neitherworld outfits. I think the desired effect was to make it look like a starry sky. And it definitely did that very well with its diamond dust on black fabric. Then I looked around for my Kowai.

But he wasn't there.

"I guess he's gone. Gone to his babes," I said, quietly. And just because I was okay with it, didn't mean I wasn't sad. My best friend for a year just up and left. The guy I was in love with went poof. And he didn't even say goodbye. Unless this dress was his way of saying it.

I slid out of bed, and took a quick look around, making sure he really wasn't here. I wanted to try this thing on. So I took off my pjs and slid on the dress.

Holy crap! It fit perfectly! How the hell did that work out? It wasn't like I had gone for a fitting or anything. Then I blinked. There was this one time Beej was making fun of me, and he turned into me to do it. It was creepy, and I was pretty sure my ass wasn't that big, but I guess that was how Nights got my measurements.

I did a little turn to see the bottom flare out, before I did little chanais to the vanity. That's what we dancers did. We wouldn't just walk, no; we had to do it all fancy like! Pfft! It was more fun this way.

I kept my necklace on the vanity while I slept so it wouldn't break. Knowing me, it would, and I would cry. Picking it up, I put it on backwards so I could do the clasp. Then I pulled it around, and let the star fall in place just below my collar bone. The cold metal would heat up soon, so I just ignored it for now.

"Damn," said a gravelly voice from behind me.

No. Freakin'. Way. He wasn't supposed to be here! I was imagining things. That had to be it. So I didn't turn around. Because he wasn't there. I needed to get used to that.

"Looks even better than I thought it would," I heard him say.

I still didn't do anything.

"Aintcha gonna say somethin'? Or at least turn around?"

I wasn't willing to turn around, so I asked, "I thought you went to see Lydia."

"I did."

"So don't ya wanna be with your babes?" He could be so confusing at times.

"I am with my babes."

Finally, I turned around. And he really was there, standing there all nonchalant like, with his hands in his pockets, and smirking. His oh-so-green eyes glinting with something I had seen before, usually when he talked about Lydia. But, for some reason, I knew it was for me now.

"Whaddya think, babes? I'm all yours."

Making a happy little noise, I ran the few feet between us, threw my arms around his neck (I practically glomped him), and kissed him.

"That's what I think," I said after a moment. I felt his arms slid around my waist, and before I could say anything else, he was kissing me back.

And now that Beetlejuice was mine, I wasn't going to give him up for all the stars in the sky.

AN: Awwww! :3 Now don't get me wrong, I am all for Beej-and-Lyds-happily-ever-after. But Kitty just kinda ran in and said "Hey!" To be honest, Kitty wouldn't've had a chance with the Ghost with the Most if it weren't for all of you. Your love for Kitty allowed her and Beej to get together. You may recall I said there were two endings for this story? Basically it was the last chapter, but Beej stayed with Lyds.

The next story in the Stars series will be titled Eternity, and we'll get to see just how much Kitty is willing to do to stay with Beetlejuice.

Did I mention I hate my new laptop?
