"Hey, Grandma", Denise said as she called home.

"Denise, are you going to be in late tonight?" Grandma Irene asked.

"Yeah, I am. I'm going out with Ray tonight."

"Honestly this time?" she asked.

"Yes, Grandma", Denise said. "We agreed to do it for real. This time I'm paying for it."

"Well, honey you know how busy he's been lately. He might not show up again. Don't get your hopes too high."

"No, it's alright. Ray already told me he doesn't have a lot of plans."

"Okay", Grandma Irene said. "Have fun, honey."

Grandma Irene hung up the phone and turned her attention back to the TV. Next door in Dana's apartment, she could some strange noises. It sounded like a dog growling but that couldn't be possible. The manager of the building allowed no pets, so naturally Dana didn't own any dogs. Grandma Irene gasped as she heard screams coming from the apartment. Going against her better judgment, she got up and floated to the wall.

"Dana, what's wrong?" she asked as she came into the apartment.

Grandma Irene screamed as she saw Dana in a chair with two clawed arms pinning her.

"Zuul…" a voice growled.

Dana screamed as suddenly the kitchen door opened with a bright light shining and the chair was pulled into the light.

"Dana!"

The growling continued throughout the apartment. Grandma Irene disappeared, hiding from the demons in the apartment.

Ray sighed as he looked at the time. He was running really late. After their call, Janine sent the Ghostbusters on another job. After the jobs he went downtown to get the blueprints to Dana's apartment building, which was hard to get.

He looked at his watch which read 9 pm. He hoped Denise wasn't upset with him. Ray drove in silence to the university where she would most likely be waiting for him.

Denise looked down as she worked on making a clay vase to pass the time. She wanted to hear Ray's excuse for being so late again.

The radio played soft music as Ray knocked on the classroom door.

Whoa, my love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch

"You're late", Denise said.

"I know and I'm so sorry", he said. "I got more calls I had to do."

Alone, lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much

"What are you doing?" Ray asked looking at the clay vase.

"I got bored", she answered.

Ray pulled up a chair and watched her. Denise couldn't help but smile.

"If you want to help you're going to need to take that jumpsuit off", she said. "Can't have long sleeves when dealing with clay. It'll get everywhere."

She smiled as she saw his face turn bright red.

Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me

Denise watched him unzip his suit pulling it down to reveal a shirt underneath. She watched entranced not paying attention to the speed of the wheel, ruining the vase.

"Oh", he said seeing the top of the vase fall over. "I hope that wasn't a masterpiece."

"Well, it's not now", Denise said pulling the ruined clay off and starting again.

"Can I help?"

"Yeah."

She took his hands and dipped them in the bucket of water beside her.

"Get your hands wet."

Denise took his hands and put them on the clay. Ray smiled as he looked Denise positioning his hands.

"Now just let the clay slide between your fingers", she said.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea

Together they wedged the clay on the wheel up and down until it was perfectly centered. But right now with the amount of space between them and the soft music in the background, the clay was the last thing on their minds.

Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Ray ran his clay covered hands up and down Denise's arms. He heard a content sigh come from her as he kissed her cheek. Denise turned away from the clay to look at him. With a smile she kissed his lips.

"Ray…"

She tuned off the wheel and started kissing him softly.

Whoa, my love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much

Denise ran her hands up his chest and around his neck, pulling her closer to him. Ray held her in his arms until she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. He smiled as he carried her to her desk in the middle of the classroom.

"Denise…are you sure this isn't too soon?"

"I don't care", she answered. "I just want to be with you."

Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me

Ok kudos to anyone who can guess this reference lol
