3 Weeks Later…

I shook with nerves as I approached Lydia's home in Peaceful Pines. I had turned "normal" for her, since today we were going to go out to dinner in her world. I had combed my hair a little, but this time I was wearing my favorite black and white vertical suit. She had insisted I wear it, and I couldn't object.
I looked at the address written on a post-it. I could have just popped into her mirror, but she had insisted we do this "the old-fashioned way". I had protested at first, but I was shut quiet when she pressed her lips against mine. That girl was more devious then I was.
I walked another three blocks before I arrived at her apartment. It was pretty normal, at least by my standards. It was painted white, with a few ivy lines running across her balcony. This apartment was a pretty high-quality one, so she had redecorated it herself.
I was about to ring the door-bell, when I stopped. I felt nervous again, like when I was about to ask her to dance a few weeks ago. Just in case, I looked around, hoping no one was going to come and ask her out. I shook my head to clear it up. This was ridiculous. I was the Ghost with the Most for crying out loud! I wasn't going to let nerves stop me from taking the girl I loved out to dinner! What was I, a fraidy bat or something?
I stood up straighter, took in a deep breath, and rang the doorbell.
"Coming!" I heard a lovely voice call. I waited for one second before the most beautiful thing in the world answered the door. She was dressed in a deep red off-the-shoulder poncho, with a black spider web design. Her eyes were lined with black eye-liner, and her lips were the color of ripe cherries. Her hair was tied back with a purple ribbon, and she had a long sleeve black tight shirt and leggings under the poncho. If I had had any doubt that I wasn't in love with her (which I doubted) that possibility was gone now.
"Do you like it?" she asked shyly, her cheeks a bright crimson.
I pulled my hands around her waist, and kissed her deep lips softly, now waiting for her response. It wasn't long before she put her hands around my neck.
She pulled away though, after a while.
"Come on, Beej. If we don't leave now we'll be late for dinner," she said, her eyes shining.
I was about to protest when she leaned into my ear and whispered "Later." I took in a deep breath, suddenly nervous. She sensed my discomfort and took my hand, smiling at me. I smiled back, but then let go. I saw the confused look on her face before I bowed in a gentle-manly fashion. When I pulled back up, she was giggling.
"Shall we go now?" I asked her, extending my arm for her.
"We shall," she said, covering her mouth with one of her hands while she hooked her other arm with mine.

"Where are we going?" I asked Beetlejuice. He had his hands covering my eyes, so I couldn't see at all. He had promised that our night would end with a big surprise for me, and I was beginning to become impatient.
"Just be patient, it's coming," he said, and I could here the smile in his voice. I smiled too, waiting. I was about to ask again, when I felt a rush of wind blow my hair. I gasped in surprise, not expecting the wind. I was about to ask what was going on, when he answered my question for me.
"Alright, Lyds, you can open your eyes now," he said, removing his cool hands from my eyes. When I opened them, I was inside his boarding house, and in front of me was the most beautiful and fitting dress for me that I had ever seen. Oddly enough, I recognized it. Then it hit me.
"BJ! Is that the pink dress Delia sent me for Christmas?" I asked him in shock.
"Yeah, it is. I, uh, figured you didn't want it, so I decided, to, uh, juice it up a bit," he said nervously, afraid that I wouldn't like it. How could I not! The once repulsing puff sleeves were now off-the-shoulder, long-sleeves, with semi gloves up to my fingers, and a deep red. The high-neck line was now a scoop-neck, but not too revealing. The waist of the dress had been a bright hot pink, but was now a black corset with a red spider-web lining. The skirt of the dress reached the floor in a sweeping movement, even in stillness, and was a blood red with a black spider-web pattern as well. It was perfect.
I didn't say anything. I just wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders and kissed him deeply, with a fiery passion. It didn't take him long to respond with his arms around my waist. After several minutes, he pulled back, smiling at me.
"I take that you liked the dress," he said, smiling.
I said nothing again; I just simply pressed my lips to his again.
"Did that answer your question?" I teased, resting my head on his chest. He held me gently, and we sort of rocked, but in a lullaby-ish way, not to pass the time.
"How about a few more kisses, just so that I understand completely?" he said, his eyes teasing and deep.
I was only so glad to kiss him, letting everything pass us without a care in the world. I needed nothing more then to have with me, like the best friend and boy-friend that he was.
