I do not own Ghostbusters. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.
Story Start
After Lexi had bought frozen yogurt and fed the beast, Tiffani, the group headed back on foot to the university. Egon and Tiffani were talking about the ways to capture the ghosts and a containment unit for the ghosts. Ray and Lexi were talking about their favorite books and authors that discuss the paranormal. Peter was just pouting to the side and talking about how he could be on a date with the blonde student from earlier.
"Don't pout, it doesn't suit you," Tiffani said after Egon was finished explaining his plan for future entrapment of ghosts.
"I wasn't pouting. I was thinking," Peter said back, and Lexi shook her head.
"It looked like you were pouting," Lexi retaliated before she and her best friend entered a small argument with Peter the rest of the walk to the university. Ray and Egon just stayed clear of the qualm so they would not be dragged into the issue.
"Hey, isn't that the dean?" Lexi asked when the group walked into the paranormal studies department at the university.
"It is, but why is he here?" Egon asked before he moved closer to Tiffani, who was looking between the dean and the group with a worried expression.
"Where were all of you?" the dean exploded and his right eye was twitching in his anger. Ray immediately went into discussion about the just seen ghost at the library, but before he could tell all of the information, the dean stopped him. "Enough, I'm tired of this department taking money away from this school. This department is terminated and all of you are fired," the dean yelled with his hands clenched into fists. The guys were in shock or angry, but the girls were worried.
"What happens to us?" Lexi inquired as she stepped in front of the guys. "We came to this university just for this department," she finished while staring down the dean. She knew her friend was probably glaring at the man.
"You have been withdrawn from the school and your money has mostly been refunded. We cannot refund you for the classes that you have already paid for in this semester," the dean said with a haughty attitude.
"You can't forcefully withdraw them like that," Ray shouted as he came to stand by Lexi.
"We can, and we did; now you must leave the premises as soon as you can or I will call police," the dean hissed before storming out of the department.
"Oh I cannot wait until karma gets him," Tiffani yelled and kicked the door closed behind the disappearing dean.
"Wait, what are you guys going to do without a college education?" Ray questioned while Lexi was trying to calm down her friend.
"We already have our bachelor's in English, both of us. We just came here to get another degree in paranormal studies," Tiffani said with a sigh of frustration. "Here, let me help you," she said and went over to help Egon, who was packing away the research into boxes.
"Let's go to a bar," Peter said as he was struggling not to march to the dean's office.
"Sounds good to me," Lexi said before looking at her friend, who was talking to Egon. "What do you think, Tiffani? Bar sound good to you?" she asked catching her friend's attention.
"Well I'm only going to drink water, but I'll go with you," Tiffani replied before smiling at Egon's surprised look. "I don't drink. I like to be in control of myself at all times," she stated before handing him the box of research.
"Are you two even old enough to drink?" Ray asked and a blush lit across his face at the stares he got in return.
"I'm almost 23, and she is 22," Lexi said and then pointed to Tiffani, who just gave a peace sign.
"You guys don't look like it," Peter muttered before the group walked out of the department and towards the street in front of the university.
"Call me when you figure something out, but for now I'm going to keep researching at home," Egon said and stepped into a cab bidding the group goodbye.
"To the bar," Lexi said and linked arms with Ray and Peter.
"Oh joy, I'm the babysitter," Tiffani muttered from behind the trio, who were more than happy to go drink away some issues.
"I'm glad we got an apartment off campus," Lexi was muttering to her friend after a few drinks.
"There was no way I was going to live on campus, too expensive," Tiffani grumbled before chewing her straw a bit.
"Maybe this is a sign, we should just start our own business," Peter exclaimed drawing the attention to him.
"We can't afford that," Ray whined and the girls shrugged at each other.
"But don't you see how great this could be for us, Ray. We will be the first firm for paranormal investigations and eliminations," Peter stressed and the girls leaned towards the two men in interest.
"I would love to work there with you guys," Tiffani said excitedly and her friend nodded.
"I know we don't know you guys that well, but we love the paranormal. We want to help you guys build your business, and also work with you two," Lexi added and she saw Peter's smile grow bigger. However, Ray still looked cautious about the idea. He wanted to go along with the plan, but money was still an issue.
"You two are hired," Peter cheered before looking back to his friend. The girls were celebrating with each other while Peter convinced Ray to take out a mortgage to help the business.
The next few days were stressful for the three men and the two girls, but they eventually found a place. Ray was beside himself with excitement as everybody walked around the old firehouse. Tiffani and Ray kept running to the pole to slide down to the first floor. Lexi was watching out for any spiders that may be occupying the firehouse. Peter and Ray were wondering if this place would even work because of all of the renovations they would have to do.
"It's perfect," Tiffani and Ray cheered together with big smiles towards the group.
"Well let's get to cleaning," Peter said with a sigh before the group started making the old firehouse into their own business, Ghostbusters Headquarters.
Fights with mops, paint wars, and other tricks occurred throughout the renovation process. Egon was unfortunately Tiffani's main target because the man was so uptight throughout most of the time of cleaning the place. Lexi had tried to keep her friend from bothering the man, but after seeing Egon's smirk throughout the play fighting.
"Well we should probably hire a receptionist," Ray stated out of the blue and the girls looked at each other. Tiffani frowned and started shaking her head quickly.
"You have two girls right here that will happily be the receptionists when not on missions, so you're not hiring anybody. We're great workers and we can help you guys and be receptionists. Anyways, it's cheaper to have us just be the receptionists when needed," Tiffani said to make them see her viewpoint.
"She has a good point, Ray," Egon and Peter said at the same time.
"Are you going to dress up as a cute nerdy receptionist when you have to be the receptionist?" Lexi asked her friend, who was hugging Ray when he said that the girls would be the only receptionists when not on missions.
"I'm always cute and nerdy, no need to dress up," Tiffani said sweetly before winking at her friend.
