I do not own Ghostbusters. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

The cab ride through the city streets of New York were average. Honking horns, people jaywalking and almost being run over, charter buses fighting to squeeze through the busy streets, and coffee shops at every block corner. The sight of all the coffee shops made Tiffani glare at Lexi the whole car ride. She had been denied coffee that morning and she was still holding a grudge about the issue.

"Quit glaring at me, I'll buy you frozen yogurt after we are done at the library," Lexi said after being fed up by her friend's glare.

"Frozen yogurt, it's cold outside and she wants something cold to eat," Ray said in surprise as he glanced between the two friends. Peter was sitting by Tiffani, and Lexi had taken a seat by Ray. The four of them in the back of the taxi was an uncomfortable squeeze, but the two men did not want to pay for another taxi. They did not have the most money in the world based on their salaries and the money for the paranormal department.

"Don't question my eating habits," Tiffani said before her eyes lit up with joy. The taxi had stopped on the road in front of the large public library. The statue in front of the library amongst the many stairs made the library have a regal feel to it.

"Let's go find that ghost," Lexi said excitedly while they all got out of the backseats of the taxi. Peter paid the taxi driver, who kept saying that Peter was short a few dollars, but Peter retaliated by saying the man's machine was broken. The taxi driver drove away cursing at Peter through an open window.

"Peter, Ray," a new male voice said near the group, which made Tiffani jump.

"Egon, great news, this is Lexi and Tiffani, they are joining the paranormal studies department with us," Ray explained when he saw his colleague staring at Lexi and Tiffani.

Lexi waved and smiled at Egon, who gave her a nod. Egon looked next to Tiffani, who gave him a wink before she started walking towards the stairs leading to the library. Lexi looked between her friend and a now slightly blushing Egon.

"Excuse her craziness," Lexi said before she ran to catch up with her friend, who was trying to mimic the facial expression on the statue. "Tiffani, time to find a ghost, not stare down a statue," she said once she caught up to her friend. The three men were walking up the stairs behind her.

"I swear it moved," Tiffani muttered before she and Lexi followed the three men into the library, who had walked ahead of them.

"Sure it moved, just like the Statue of Liberty dances the cha cha every night," Lexi said and she smacked Tiffani on the back of her head, when her friend's eyes grew wide with happy surprise. "She does not move, what is wrong with you today?" she asked while trying to keep herself from running down a book aisle and getting lost in a book.

"No coffee equals stranger than normal Tiffani," Tiffani explained before she started giggling at some of the questions that Peter was asking the real life traumatized librarian.

"Peter, I think that's a bit much. Isn't finding the ghost more important?" Lexi asked and she saw a grateful look appear on Ray's face. She had a feeling that Ray was usually the one to try to reign in Peter's actions.

"Maybe that librarian made him pay late fees," Tiffani said and she could have sworn she saw Egon give a small chuckle, which made her smile. She pulled a notebook and a pen out of a bag that they brought with them for supplies. She was going to take notes of anything she saw or maybe the title of an interesting book that she should come back later to check out for a while.

The group walked downstairs into the lower levels and older part of the library. A chill overtook the group and Tiffani walked closer to Lexi for warmth. Lexi just let her friend be because she knew how cold natured Tiffani was.

"Look, ectoplasm," Egon said and immediately he and Ray started collecting as many samples as they could.

"Not a very good librarian," Lexi muttered and Peter chuckled. They were staring at the stacks of books in the aisles, which also had ectoplasm on them. Lexi looked around to make another joke with Tiffani, but her friend was nowhere in sight. Peter looked around when he saw Lexi's worried look.

"Now where did she go?" Peter asked and Lexi gave a long sigh.

"Who in their right mind is going to go closer to the ghost snot? I'd rather take a cleaner way to find the ghost, thanks," Tiffani was muttering to herself before her eyes caught one of her favorite book titles. "Frankenstein," she whispered before picking up the book. She soon was lost in the pages when the air around her became cooler. A small beeping sound echoed in an aisle further away from her.

She looked away from the book to see what they had been looking for this whole time, the full body apparition of an old librarian's ghost. Tiffani saw the ghost look at her, and she gave a small smile before putting the book back into its correct place on the shelf. Tiffani smartly kept her mouth shut and she saw the ghost look away from her. She quickly grabbed her notebook and pen to write a quick message.

Tiffani tiptoed to the end of an aisle. She saw Lexi and the others standing a bit away from her. She stuck out the notebook with the message and waved it so it would catch somebody's attention.

"Hey, there's Tiffani," Peter said before he saw the message on the notebook. "The ghost is in this aisle with me," he read and the group's expression changed from shock to happiness to cluelessness. They were not sure what to do now. Lexi rushed quietly so she could stand by her friend. Looking into the aisle, she saw the librarian's ghost. The ghost looked up at her, but when the ghost saw that Lexi was being quiet, the ghost went back to looking at the books.

"That's really the ghost," Ray said in shock as he stood behind the two girls.

"Well what do we do now, Ray?" Egon asked and the ghost looked at the group. Tiffani and Lexi slowly inched their way so they were standing behind the three men.

"She's looking at us, Ray," Peter said out of the corner of his mouth. The ghost held up a finger and made shushing noise before giving them an annoyed look. Peter shut his mouth and the ghost went back to her books.

"I've never seen a ghost before. I don't know what to do," Ray was muttering before a determined look settled on his face. "Get her," Ray yelled and started running towards the ghost, and Peter and Ray followed him.

Tiffani and Lexi's eyes grew wide at Ray's plan. They watched in shock at the sweet old librarian ghost turned into a ghoulish skeleton creature with red eyes. Tiffani and Lexi stumbled over their feet as they turned around and ran towards the stairs. The terror filled yells of Ray, Peter, and Egon made them run faster.

The other occupants of the library gave them shocked looks as they ran through the new division of the library until they reached the front doors. Tiffani was jumping down the stairs so she could get further away from the library as fast as she could. Lexi stumbled on one of the stairs and she would have been hurt, but Ray's hand taking her hand kept her from falling. Peter and Egon raced past Ray and Lexi. Tiffani was already standing near the main road.

"Really Ray? That was your plan, get her?" Peter yelled as the group was trying to calm down after such a scare.

"Well I didn't hear you coming up with a plan, Peter," Ray snapped back and Lexi just started laughing. Tiffani soon joined in on the laughter, which made the guys stop arguing.

"Be happy, we finally got to see a real ghost," Lexi said and the guys gave her thoughtful looks before smiling.

"With this research, I think I know a way for us to be able to capture and hold a ghost indefinitely," Egon said and the other guys gave him interested looks.

"How would you do that?" Tiffani asked and Egon seemed a bit surprised by her inquiring about his ideas, but he began to explain them anyways. After Egon was done explaining and the group had been walking down the streets towards the university, Tiffani remembered something Lexi said earlier. "Don't you dare forget about my frozen yogurt," she hissed and Lexi gave her a nervous look while the men just stared at Tiffani with worry on their faces.

"She's that serious about food?" Egon asked and he saw Lexi nod.

"You have no idea," Lexi said before she started leading the group to the nearest frozen yogurt shop.
