Denise sighed as the time passed. Where was Ray? She called him around 5:30. She looked at the clock seeing it was 8:00. Was he planning on showing up? Did he stand her up?

"Denise?" Grandma Irene said floating to her room. "Is everything alright, honey?"

"What's taking Ray so long?" Denise asked. "If he doesn't want to come he could just call me."

"Give him some time, dear. Maybe he had some errands to do. Or maybe he's stuck in traffic. This is New York, after all."

"He still could've called to let me know when he was coming", she said.

Grandma Irene looked at her before floating away. Denise sighed as she went into the kitchen. She pulled a carton of ice cream and sat in front of the TV. If she saw Ray anytime soon, she would have a few choice words that would make her grandma cry.

Ray looked for the ghost through his ecto-goggles. He was so excited and nervous at the same time. The Ghosbusters' first job was at one of the most luxuriest hotels in the whole city. So far all they did was just make a mess trying to catch the one ghost. The only one that came in physical contact was Peter who was slimed from head to toe.

"There it is", Ray said. "On the ceiling."

"That's the one that got me", Peter said.

All three of them pointed their proton blasters at the ghost and fired. The ghost panicked and flew away leaving the Ghostbusters to shoot the chandelier down to the floor.

"I did that!" Ray said. "I did that! That was my fault!"

"That's okay", Peter said. "The table broke the fall."

Egon looked at his proton blaster before looking at Ray and Peter.

"There's something very important that I forgot to tell you", he said.

"What?"

"Don't cross the streams", he answered.

"Why?" Peter asked.

"It would be bad."

"I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing", he said. "What do you mean, bad?"

"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."

"Total protonic reversal", Ray realized understanding what Egon was talking about.

"All right, that's bad, okay", Peter said. "Important safety tip, don't cross the streams. Thanks, Egon. All right. Ray, take the left. Egon, take the right."

Ray and Egon went on opposite sides of Peter. They pointed their proton blasters at the ghost who was floating above a bucket of ice drinking a bottle of wine.

"Okay, Ray", Peter said. "Give me one eye on the outside... Ray!"

Ray fired at the ghost only succeeding in scaring it away.

"Egon!"

Egon fired his proton blast missing the ghost completely but taking out all the food on the table. The ghost flew away as Egon continued firing.

"Okay, all right, hold it!" Peter yelled. "Hold it! Hold it! Whoa! Nice shooting, Tex!"

"The last throw took something out of him, but he's going move!" Ray said. "I need some room to put the trap down. Give me some room."

Egon and Peter began pushing tables away trying to make some room for the trap.

"Wait! Wait!" Peter said. "I always wanted to do this."

He grabbed the tablecloth and pulled tablecloth out from under table, knocking everything but flowers over."

"And the flowers are still standing!"

"Okay, on my go signal", Ray said. "Spengler, I want a confinement stream from you. Okay? Go!"

Egon fired his proton blaster at the ghost. The stream wrapped around the ghost trapping it in that one spot.

"Okay, hold him up there!" Ray said. "He's going to move. Hold him up. Go!"

Peter fired his blaster managing to get the stream wrapped around the ghost without touching Egon's stream.

"It's working, Ray!" Egon said with a smile on his face.

"Start bringing him down. Start bringing him down. You got him. Don't cross the streams. All right, I'm opening the trap now. Don't look directly into the trap!"

Ray opened the trap just as Peter and Egon brought the ghost down above it. Egon's eyes widened as he looked.

"I looked at the trap, Ray!"

"Bring your streams off as soon as I close the trap", Ray said. "Get ready. I'm closing it, now!"

Ray closed the trap just as Peter and Egon turned off their proton blasters. The ghost shrieked as it was sucked into the trap. The Ghostbusters looked at the trap seeing a little red light blinking. They tapped the trap to see if the ghost would try to escape.

"It's in there", Egon said in disbelief.

"Well, that wasn't such a chore, now was it?" Ray asked.

"This will be a great story to tell your girlfriend", Peter said.

"Oh Denise!" he said grabbing his head. "I was supposed to go to her apartment for dinner. I hope she's not too upset. I should've called her before we left."
