Chapter #5A Raving Craving by: SonicV   In a rather large house, on a quiet Sunday in Peaceful Pines, Lydia Deetz was was hanging out in her room. Lydia is a girl, who likes gloomy, dark, and creepy things. Right now she was thinking of one thing in particular that matched that description, multiple times over. Only it wasn't a thing she was thinking of, it was man, or more accurately, a dead man. The ghost with the most, Beetlejuice.
"Could he really like this?" Lydia looked at herself in the mirror, at her now much more rounded hips and backside. The benefits of puberty were starting to do wonders for her body, and she was really loving it. Now Lydia was not one to get caught up in appearances, but as a girl, she couldn't deny how much she loved this, especially after listening to Claire Bruster state over and over again how much more fabulously stacked she was.
Anyway back to Lydia's question. The real reason she was looking over herself was because she was thinking about Beetlejuice.
After finishing her examination of her nearly C-cup breasts, she shut the drapes in her room, and approached the lamp on a table.
"Though I know I should be weary, still I venture someplace scary." "Ghostly haunting I turn loose, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice! BEETLEJUICE!!!"
The window flew open, and lightning cracked through the sky. The wallpaper on Lydia's walls tore away, along with everything else in her room except her bed. The table cloth beneath the lamp wrapped around her, forming a glowing red pancho for her to wear.
"I gotta hand it to ya Lyds, you know how to make an opening." Beetlejuice made a stage appear and an applause was heard "Thank you. Thank you. You've been a horrific audience.". A rotten tomato was then thrown at his head, which he happily licked off.
Lydia giggled at him. Beetlejuice, her best friend from the Neitherworld. Although the scourge of the afterlife, and dispised by most, Lydia had been his bestfriend for years now. Over that time, she and BJ, as she sometimes called him, had some pretty interesting times.
"Beetlejuice, I need your opinion. Do I look good?" Lydia tried to get it out in the air, but concealed at the same time.
"Uh, is that a trick question babes? You're a regular head turner." Beetlejuice's began spinning like a top. Lydia giggled again.
"So you honestly think I'm pretty?" she asked again. "You kiddin' babes? You take my breath away." A green fog was pulled from Beetlejuice's mouth, and floated over to Lydia.
"Ugh, you can have it back." Lydia fanned the air. Beetlejuice sucked the noxious fumes back in "Thanks babes. So what's with the talk of appearances?". Lydia decided that this might be a good time to ask "Well actually-".
"Wait," Beetlejuice grabbed a talk balloon that had appeared above Lydia's head. He handed it to her "Hold that thought. I just got a real nasty idea.". He quickly pulled towards the door to the Neitherworld.
"You want to pull another prank on Ginger?" Lydia later found out the reason they were here.
"Well duh, Jaque was yesterday. You sure you're not light headed Lyd's" Beetlejuice's head turned into a lamp.
This was exactly the problem Lydia had mentioned earlier. She really did care for Beetlejuice, and his jokes always made her laugh, but now they were getting in the way of what might be a potential relationship. Beetlejuice and Lydia had been on several dates before, whether it was picnic in the Neitherworld or having tea after a deadly golf tournament. Somehow though, nothing had ever ocurred between them. Even so, Lydia was determined to change that. She knew he could be swayed, the guy had a shrine to her in his mind for crying out loud.
"Maybe I should help him out more with his pranks." Lydia thought up. What better way to show her feelings for BJ, than by helping with the very pranks she usually disapproved of?
"I guess one couldn't hurt, what is it?" Lydia asked, now a bit concerned for her friends.
"Okay babes, yesterday I was having this huge slice of Eye-Scream cake, and Ginger saw me and said 'Oh Beetlejuice, do you know how many calories are in those?'. She mentioned something about being on a diet." Beetlejuice explained. Soon afterwords, the sound of eight tap dancing feet could be heard outside. Beetlejuice confirmed that it was a tap dancing spider.
"There she is, quick Lyds, had me that green can." Beetlejuice pointed to a soda can looking thing on his dresser. Lydia hurried over and checked it out.
"Tummy Tonic, guaranteed to break a person away from any diet." She read the label on the can. Again Lydia felt bad for doing this, but then again, Beetlejuice's pranks didn't really hurt anybody. Right?
"Heads up." She tossed it over.
"If you say so." Beetlejuice's head hovered in the air and he caught the can in his teeth. "Thankfs.".
He looked over at Ginger one more time, and opened the top of the can. Once thrown, it would have an immediate detonation upon hitting the victim. Beetlejuice threw it, and Lydia covered her eyes. Unfortunately, something went wrong.
"Street Sweepers." A pair of giant monsters came down the street and swept it with rather large brooms. They blocked Ginger from Beetlejuice's perspective, and the force from the broom sent the can right back at him. Beetlejuice ducked, but then saw where it was heading.
"Lyds!" he shouted. Lydia looked just in time to see the can hit her in the chest and explode.
"Babes? How many mees do ya see?" Beetlejuice asked as Lydia came to. "If I say one, can I get up?" she asked. "Yeah, she's okay." Beetlejuice said to the camera.
"Ooooh, what happened?" Lydia rose up still dazed. After which, she noted the slimey feeling around her.
"Ewww." She attempted to maintain her composure as she shook the slimey green contents of the Tummy Tonic can off her.
"Geez Lyds, you're slimier than a Sand Worm. You okay?" Beetlejuice asked.
"I think so. You don't think that stuff works on humans do you? I kinda want to keep my figure." Lydia asked.
"Not a chance." Beetlejuice was very confident in his answer.
"Your sure?" Lydia asked again.
"Have I ever been wrong?" Lydia gave a look at the camera after that one.
"Well, I better get home and get this stuff washed off." Lydia put aside her former plans. She also failed to notice some of the Tonic disappear as it soaked into her body.
"Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!"
*Poof*
"Yuck, washing up, you know I hate it." Beetlejuice said.
After taking a shower, Lydia later went to bed. Unlike most nights however, a good night sleep was not guaranteed this time.
"Oooh." Lydia tossed and turned in her sleep, clutching at the sheets of her bed, as her stomach bubbled loudly.  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
