Chapter 4

After arranging with a sitter to watch Oscar, Dana goes to see Egon Spengler at the Institute For Advanced Theoretical Research.

"…right out into the middle of traffic and I started really running after it."

Dana was explaining to Egon what had happened with her son.

"And then it just suddenly stopped, right in the middle of the street." Dana continued.

"And did anyone else see this happen?" Egon questioned.

"Well, sure, hundreds of people." Dana replied. "Egon, I didn't imagine this."

"I'm not saying you did." Egon denied. "In science, we look for the simplest explanation."

"We're ready," Elsa, one of Egon's assistants informed.

"Good," said Egon. "We'll start with the negative calibration."

"What are you working on, Egon?" Dana inquired.

"Trying to determine…whether human emotions affect the physical environment." Egon answered.

The two observe a man and a woman converse with one another.

"It's a theory Ray and I had when we were still Ghostbusters and with the Mystery Inc."

"Can they see us?" Dana asked, rather intrigued by what she was seeing.

"No," Egon responded. "They think they're here for marriage counseling."

"We kept them waiting for over two and a half hours."

"I've been increasing the temperature in the room." Egon added. "It's up to 95 degrees now."

"Now, my assistant has asked them…if they'd mind waiting another half-hour."

Egon fiddles with a few buttons on a remote control.

"Good. Very good," said the scientist. "Very, very nice."

"So, Egon, what do you think?" Dana questioned.

"Excellent, just excellent. Do the happiness index next," Egon instructed another one of his assistants.

"I mean about the carriage," Dana clarified.

"Well, I'd like to bring Ray in on this, if you don't mind." Egon suggested.

"Sure. Whatever you think," Dana agreed. "But not Venkman,"

"Oh no," said Egon.

"Do you ever see him?" Dana asks.

"Occasionally," Egon replied.

"How is he these days?"

"Peter?" Egon asked. "Well, he was borderline for a while."

"Then he crossed the border."

"Does he ever mention me?" Dana asks, a smirk forming. Part of her was curious if Peter was still thinking of her.

"No," Egon answers.

Dana's smirk fell.

"Well, we, we didn't part on very good terms." The brunette confessed. "And then we sort of lost track of each other after I got married."

"We're ready for the affection test." Constance notified Egon.

"Send in the puppy," Egon instructed.

"I thought of getting touch with him after my marriage ended, but…"

Dana and Egon squatted and watched a little girl interact with a puppy.

"Isn't that sweet?" Dana remarked, smiling.

"I appreciate your doing this." She added.

"Try not to worry," Egon encouraged.

The two adults smile.

"Here's my phone number. You'll call me?" Dana asks, handing Egon her phone number.

"Yes," Egon agreed, accepting Dana's number.

"I'd rather you didn't mention any of this to Peter." Dana suggested.

"No, I won't. I won't," Egon agreed.

Dana kissed Egon on the cheek, as her way of thanking him. Egon blushes.

"Thanks," Dana leaves the room.

"Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy." Egon said to Constance.
