CHAPTER 4: DATE OR DUD

Beetles POV

why did she call me just to show me that she'd kitted herself out for some stupid little hormone infested punk, now i look like a moron tripping all over myself she's proably laughing about it now with her oh so wonderful date, whats he got that i don't?
what the hell why am i racking my brians over this, i'm the ghost with the most and well lyds, she's a breather i shook my head no shut up your just angry, she's your best friend and your worried about her, yeah thats it, isn't it? she's just my bestfriend, nothing more......... then why am i geting so pissed off?

i heard a knock at my door, i floated over and then opened the door to reveal jaque "what do you want bone bucket"
"you zounded pretty angry,we yust wanted to know if you were ok" i then saw ginger hovering in a spider web behind him "wether you like it or not beetlejuice we're here to help"
"and how do you know whats wrong or if there is a problem"
"ze monster across de street, could 'ere you, you were zo loud" i let out a sigh,then stepped to the side "come on in,try not to make yourselves at home" they walked over to my large dinning room table and sat on two of the chairs,i could see the looks of disgust on both their faces as they scanned my downstairs, i couldn't help but smirk as i sat down oppisite them. "so do tell me my eight legged fiend and bone head what is my plight?" as i said this i transported a cup of rhino beetle tea stiring it with a slender spoon, until ginger spoke up the chattiest of the two "you seem to be upset about miss lydia's date" wow she nailed that,but i wasn't going to let them know that, i wavved my hand now adopting a posh british accent "continue, madam" she looked at me puzzled,i took the opitunity to ditch my chair and then float above the table causing them to crane their necks upwards "well we know it must be hard because well hell all of the neitherworld know how you feel about her"
"well i don't actually keep it a secret" they both looked at each other "then why did you let her go out on a date with another guy"
"she can go out with anyone she wants"
"thats kinda weird ,if you like her so much"
"what, so just coz jaque is your bestfriend he's got to ask you about wether you approve of him dating other woman"
"what you talking about,it's not because she's your bestfriend,it's that your in love with her" i couldn't quite catch my tounge "llllooovvee her,what? your crazier then me" pulling out a certificate of the craziest person of the neitherworld and scribbling out my name to put hers "it's not crazy to have emotions beetlejuice"
"did i say it was, it's crazy you think i love lydia 1)she's my bestfriend 2) she's just a kid" she had a disapproving look on her face "so are you just a kid"
"hell no,i'm an adult"
"only just in the mortal world, she's nearly 18 it's perfectly fine"
" i hate to break it to you but i've been 21 for about 200 years" she shook her head "beetlejuice true love has no age" she really had lost her marbles "really then why don't you ever tell that young tranulua how you've been checking him out since he hit puberty"
"well thats different"
"pardon moi,but may i 'av some input" we now both faced jaque completly ignoring that he was still there "beetlejoose,you like madamosele Lydia,oui"
"well heck of course i do" "even more the a companion?" i just sat there for a while,i really didn't want to come to terms with wether i didn't or did "bettle no awnser iz worse then non awnser"
"i i i guess ii do" he smiled "then suurley you can tell 'er"
"but if she doesn't feel the same,then i've wrecked our friendship" then ginger put one of her small feet on my hand "if she is a true friend, it won't get in the way"
i just contemplated this,then decided i'd go back to my usual self "now get out of my house" i pulled on a giant lever,that led to a trapdoor outside the roadhouse, i just layed on my back cackling at the look of pure shock on their faces,this is the best laugh i had in a while.

Lydias POV

we got to the shopping mall, we decided to walk get some fresh air. "hey lydia,just stay by the fountain i'll be right back" i nodded and just sat down on the ledge, when i noticed clare brewster and her gang of air heads, i just hope she doesn't notice me, it looks like i'm at the mall on my own. i looked down at the sparkling water looking at my reflection,wow my eye shdow is really a deep purple i didn't really notice when i put it on "omg look guys lil miss spooky is like on a date with herself" i just glared at her "like even that creepy pervet beetleman lost intrest" she started to laugh and slowly but surely her flock of sheep decided to cackle in the background, where the hell was kaz, i looked over to the escalators to see him turning the corner,he seemed to notice the large group in front of me,which caused him to start running "lydia are you all right?" i just nodded he went to yell at the crowd when his eyes grew wide "clare brewster is that you?" she looked at him confused "it's ken azure" her face then graced a smile "omg like i haven't seen you in ages" he nodded "it must have been last summer at the yacht show"
"and my daddy brought me my own party boat" they both started laughing,could this day get any worse my enemy and well i guess my date get on,thats enough to make me throw up "well if you to want to catch up,i'm going to argoth" kaz looked back at me "no don't go on your own,i'll go with you afterall we are on a date" clare now looked at him like he was brain dead "your on a date with her" she said whilst pointing a finger at me "yeah i am she's a wonderful person" how the hell does he know wether i'm a wonderful person, he barely knows me "come on guys lets leave the losers on their own" she turned her back and started to walk away as did all her little clones, then he sighed "she used to be a lovely person" when the hell was that "lyds i brought you something" he then pulled a small black and purple box tied with a ribbon out of his leather jacket "i noticed the ring on your finger had seen better days,so i thought i'd buy you one to replace it" i just stared down at the box,inside was a silver skull and cross bones ring "i'm sorry but i promised a dead friend i'd never take it off even when i die" he tilted his head "then just put it on a chain"
"i can't i made a promise" "hows are they going to know their dead"
" i still made a promise, and he's the most important person till me alive or dead" he grabbed my wrist "maybe you don't get it your my girl,you wear my ring and forget about some stupid corpse" my face was getting hotter and hotter i could feela blood vessel brust somewhere on my face " maybe you don't get ityour a jerk" i said this yanking my wrist away, then ran off outside of the mall grabbing a taxi that was parked up in the pick up bay " can you take me to 32 pinewalk blvd" the taxi driver nodded. i looked out the window to see kaz finally walking out of the gallery.

(back at lydias)
i looked into my mirror pulling my hand across my face so that i could smudge my make-up, what did it matter if i looked like a wreck, i'm never going to dress up for a guy ever again they are such dickwads, i swear they have no emotions for others.
as i continued to run my monolouge of what douches guys are, i noticed i hadn't closed the portal to the neitherworld earlier "maybe seeing some friendly faces will make me feel better" i whispered to percy, okay i think i'm going crazy i'm talking to a cat, i brused these thoughts aside as i crawled into my mirror "this is to much like alice in wonderland" okay now i'm talking to myself,in my head thats fine, but out loud thats just weird.

i walked down the long winding street bj's roadhouse slightly just up ahead, i stopped just outside the monster across the streets house, these damn pumps are killing my feet, why did i wear these? i was about to continue walking when i suddenly i spotted a small pink figure which could only be ginger, as i got closer i could see her waving at me with a massive beaming smile, i decided to mirror her actions "hey ginger"
"hey lyida, wow you look especially pretty today,the make-up could use some work though" i giggled at this "it was fine until i decided to smudge it" she mouthed a small o shape "that was some short date" i sighed "yeah, he turned out to be just another jerk" her face turned more sympathetic, "oh i'm sorry, maybe mr right is closer then you think" i allowed a smile to grace my lips and took a more cheerful tone "maybe" to be honest i didn't have a clue what she meant "well i'm going to the roadhouse,you coming"
"actually me and jaque, just got thrown out by beetlejuice" "well i'll let you back in" i grinned as i showed off a glistening sliver gothic style key on a chain round my neck "won't he be pissed off"
"yeah,but he can't stay mad at me, he loves me deep down" i laughed at this, whilst ginger mumbled something "whats that ging?" she looked up at me startled "oh just some dance steps,didn't know i was speaking out loud" she let out a nervous giggle.

i started my way up to the door of the roadhouse putting my key in the lock, "hey beej i'm home" i giggled as he floated to the door "what are you my wife?" i continued to giggle "i'll take that as a yes,well go make me a sandwich" i put my hands on my hips "beej we have company" i steped out the way to reveal ginger, he looked down at her "thats not company thats ginger" i did my best pout "she's my company" he just crossed his arms then sat on the couch with a frown on his face, i walked over to him and pulled into a hug "awwwww bj,i'll make you a special sandwhich later" his eyes glistend at this, i couldn't help but laugh.
