A Life without

Airport arrivals area

7:17 pm

Lydia groaned as she jerked her duffel bag from under the pile of suit cases on the revolving luggage retrieval area. "This is just great!"She grumbled, "An hour delayed! Stupid plane...loved the storm though." She stretched arching her back and tossing her duffel bag on her shoulder, walking out of the airport and hailing down a taxicab. She opened the back door and shoved in her duffel bag getting in," To peaceful pines please." The taxi man nodded and sped away.

Bj's Road house

7:35 pm

Beetlejuice sat on his moldy couch in his living-dead-room flipping through channels. Bored out of his mind, a bowl of beetle-chips on top his pot belly was the only thing getting his attention as he shoved three chips into his mouth at the same time. Over the span of the 5 years since Lydia had left to the big city Beetlejuice kept his promise and took care of her home, with the help of the voice recorder that had Lydia's voice saying his name three times to let him in and out of the world of the living. He would scare away teens who thought they could destroy or use Lyds house as a hangout. After a few months they left the house alone saying it was haunted. But now after five long years nothing ever happened in Peaceful Pines. "This is the pits…wish something would happen every once and awhile...or I'm gonna become a couch potato!" he transformed into potato cackling at his joke before poofing back to his ghostly self. He ghost up and floated to his room spotting his mirror and looking through it to see Lydia's room on the other side, he sighed and turned away before hearing the screech of tires on the driveway. "Huh?" he turned back to the mirror and heard the front door open, grinning he grabbed the recording machine he stole from Jacques and pushed the play button, Lydia young voice speaking out his name, letting him free to scare the living daylight out of the people who dare enter his Lyds home! "It's Showtime!"

Deetz's Home

7:40 pm

Lydia paid the Taxi driver and grabbed her duffel bag walking up to the front door and grabbing her keys from her pocket and opening the front door. "Home…" she smiled and turned on the lights only, to gasp and cough at all the dust that floated into the air, "Argh what the…well it could be worse." She pulled on her hood from her sweater and covered her mouth, opening all the windows and doors to let some fresh air in. She felt a chill go down her spine as she passed the stairs that lead up to her room. "…" she sighed and headed upstairs not knowing that in the shadows dark yellow eyes stared at her curiously.

Beetlejuice stared at the young woman who had entered Lydia's home, he couldn't quite see her because of her sweater, but from the look of her figure she was one hot babe. He chuckled softly to himself and licked his green teeth. He followed her in the shadows of the ceiling and tilted his head when she stood in front of the stairs for a minute. 'What is she up to? Wait a minute how did she get in without breaking in? no one has a key to this place cept…naw it can't be…' he thought to himself, poofing into Lydia's room before the woman did.

Lydia opened the door to her old room slowly and peeked in, to her surprise it was spotless and dust free she gasped and opened the door all the way a smile spreading across her face, "Wow! It looks the exact same as how I left it!" She tossed her duffel bag on the floor and jumped on the bed. "Oh I missed you bed! And my skeleton curtains! And my mi-…" she sat up, her hood falling back, revealing her long hair in a high up tied pony tail. Lydia got up and slowly walked to her mirror, pressing her hand up against the cool surface, "I'm home beej…" she whispered to herself.

"Welcome home babes…" Lydia jerked and spun around to find herself facing that certain ghost with the most,"Beetlejuice…"
