The moment I stepped through the door, I was bombarded with hugs and kisses from the Monster across the Street, Jacques, Bootsie, and Ginger.

"Lydia, darling, we were so worried about you!"screamed Ginger as she laid her stick skinny arms around me.

"I'm glad too Ginger," I said, my voice weak from the scenes in my head.

"We were vorried dat vee vould never see you again!" yelled Jacques, his bones rattling inside his tuxedo.

"I was too," I said, relieved that I was even speaking to them. I realized how much I loved all of my friends, and tears were forming in my eyes again. Before I had a chance to wipe them away, I felt Beetlejuice's strong arm around my shoulder, and I felt better. I leaned into his side and let out a breath.

"Well, we'd like to know what happened," said a guard suddenly, walking up to us. I felt Beetlejuice stiffen a bit, his anger rising. I put a hand on his chest, letting him know that I would handle it.

"Okay. May I go up to the podium to explain?" I asked the guard, my eyes pleading.

"Sure, go right ahead," he said, motioning me towards the front center of the dance room.

I held Beetlejuice's hand enclose around mine as we walked towards the front. Almost immediately, everyone in the room became quiet, each wondering what happened to the Prince and ourselves.

"Okay. Well, you may know who I am, maybe not, but my name is Lydia Deetz. You all know what Prince Vince had chosen me to be his bride, but I wanted to refuse. He kidnapped me, and held me hostage. Luckily, Beetlejuice saved me, but we were in Sandworm land at the time," I said, holding, my breath when everyone gasped at the mention of Sandworm land.

"Well, after Beetlejuice rescued me, a sandworm appeared next to Prince Vince, and, well, the sandworm ate Prince Vince, and now he is dead," I said, wondering whether the Neitherworld would kill me now or torture me first. It was quiet for all of five seconds before the whole hall erupted into cheers. I saw couples hugging and individuals jumping for joy. I even saw one man bust a cork open from a wine bottle. I stared in shock at everyone. Had they hated Prince Vince so much that they were cheering for his death?

I looked at Beetlejuice, and I saw that he was laughing too. I stared at him for a few seconds, considering why everyone was cheering. Then, Beetlejuice leaned into my ear to ask me something.

"Did anyone hurt you besides Prince Vince?" he murmured in my ear. I then remembered the old woman and the guard who had taken me away. My eyes watered again, and I nodded once. We slipped out quietly, and we looked around the castle for the two. It wasn't long before we found them hiding in the same room that I had been held captive in. They were cowering against the corner, their eyes filled with fear and pain. I looked over at Beetlejuice's evil grin. I wasn't afraid, though. I knew they deserved it.

With a flick of his wrist, Beetlejuice transformed into a mirror image of the sandworm that we had seen a while ago, only this one was black and white striped. I looked in wonder as he scared the two enough that the woman screamed and shut her eyes in terror. The guard stared in fight at Beetlejuice, and cowered more. Beetlejuice hissed in content as he took in their facial expressions. I lay my small hand against his tail, and Beetlejuice looked into my eyes, his expression soft. I wasn't afraid of him now; I knew he would never hurt me.

He turned his stare back to the two, and gave a roar loud enough to make a chill run up my spine. The two screamed as he wrapped his tail around them both, causing them to rise into the air. He gave them a very evil smirk as he made a giant hole to appear out of the wall. I recognized it as the Sandworm land, and shrank back into the wall, praying there were no sandworms around just yet.

He smiled at the two once more, before he blinked once, transforming the two into signs that read "WORM FOOD". I giggled slightly at his dark sense if humor. With one more stare at the two who had hurt me, he swung them around once before tossing them into the hole the way a person would toss a newspaper to the trashcan; without a care.

As I listened to their screams, Beetlejuice closed the portal, and slowly turned back to normal. He was still wearing the black and white suit, which I hadn't noticed until just now. I took in the whole effect of his suit, and noticed how it sort of brought out a few slight muscles in his arms. I blushed a little, looking down. I grimaced then, remembering what I was wearing.

"Want me to fix that for you?" he asked, smiling at me. I could only stare at his beautiful smile, and I felt my heart skip a beat.

"How?" I asked, suddenly curious.

He raised one hand, and snapped his fingers once. I looked down at the hideous pink dress, and it began to grow in length until it reached the floor. The pink puff sleeves were reduced to off-the-shoulder sleeves, and the skirt transformed into vertical black and white stripes. The black rose grew from the belly of the skirt, and a corset formed at my waist. I felt a small tiara fall gently into place on my head, and my necklace was back. When I looked into the near-by mirror, I saw that the pink dress had transformed back into the original dress that I had designed at the beginning of the night. I smiled gleefully as I rushed into Beetlejuice's arms, my hands around his neck. His arms circled my waist, and he held me.

I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes, and leaned in to kiss the man who had saved me from a nightmare; being away from my love, Beetlejuice.

A/N: Sorry this is only Lydia's POV. I'd write Beetlejuice's, but I feel content with just this one.

p.s-It's not over yet. ;D
