Well, this is my first attemt to actually write a real story instead of my usual drabbles, and for you "Mr. everything must be spelled correctly" I rarely or never use spell check, so this is a warning to you. And this story will have another chapter, and maybe a third, depends on how much time I have. And just so you know it's going to take time between the updates of the chapter(s), school's taking up much of my freetime.
But otherwise, enjoy the story.

It was early in the morning, and the people in peaceful pines was waking up.
And so did Lydia Deetz, but this morning was different from other mornings,
when the clock landed on 07:00 the well known clock started to ring, she turned it off and sat up on her bed
" Oh my head," She said and held her hands before her eyes so she shouldn't see the lights coming from the window. But after a while she took her hands down and let her eyes get used to the light.
After that she jumped out of the bed, but when her feet reached the floor, she felt dizzy.
" I must be more tired than I thought, " she said, and started to walk towards her wardrobe. There she pulled out her usual school uniform, she looked at it with bored eyes, then she glanced over at the mirror. She quickly dressed and walked towards the mirror, she looked at herself for a moment, but seconds later her reflection changed to her well known friend Beetlejuice, "Hi babes," He said with I grin.
Lydia smiled, " Hi Beej, I didn't know you could be up this early in the morning."
"Heh, well I guess it was a blue moon this night, " he said and turned into, as he said, a blue moon.
Then he turned and looked her in the eyes, "babes, you look tired, everything okay? " he asked in a worried tone.
She smiled when she realized that he showed that he was worried for her, " It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, but would you like to come out of there Beetlejuice? I'll need my mirror now, " she said and smiled.
"Well, that was one of the magic B-words, so then I guess you can say it two more times, " he said, happy to know that he soon would be out in the real world.
Lydia said the remaining two words and Beetlejuice disappeared from the mirror, only to appear again, this time floating in the air just behind her, " So what's happening today babes?"
Lydia, who'd just started to comb her raven hair, " Well, now I need to get ready for school, I'll just finish my hair, then maybe you'd like to come down and be my company when I'm eating my breakfast? " she asked.
"Um sure Lyds, but how about your folks? " He asked.
" Well, mom's going to an art gathering with some friends, and some people who she calls "very important" and as for dad.."
".. Chuck had the luck to be the driver, huh? " BJ cut in.
"Yes, " she said and giggled.

When Lydia was ready, she and Beetlejuice went downstairs to make breakfast. When they came into the kitchen, Lydia looked after something to eat in the fridge, and instead of floating around in the air, Beetlejuice sat down at the table.
Wen Lydia had decided for a sandwich and juice, " Want some? " she asked, referred on the food.
Beetlejuice just looked at it and shook his head, Thanks, but, no thanks babes. I think I stick to beetles, " he said, and looked at his pocket were he usually saved his beetles, and said, "and now when I
think about it, I haven't eaten one in awhile," and started to search in his pocket, took out a beetle, and a big crunch was heard.

Later when they were outside, walking to school, Beetlejuice realized Lyds was getting behind, so he stopped, "you sure you okay babes?" he asked.
"I'm fine Beej," the girl said, "just tired.. more than usual"
"When did you start to feel like this?" Beetlejuice asked.
"I had a headache yesterday, so I went to bed, so maybe I didn't get so much sleep," she said, " Well now we're here," she said and let out a big sigh.
"I really hates school, and I don't even have to be in it, I would definitely not want to be in your shoes now, " he said, and his black shoes were replaced by Lydia's, who giggled.
"Maybe I can meet you after school? " Lydia asked looking up from his shoes who had taken their usual form.
"Sure babes!" he said, happy to know that he'd have to spend some time with her later. "but I think I'll go back to the Neitherworld now, need to kill some hours until you come home."
"okay Beej, see you later," Lydia said and turned around and started to walk to the school, but she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around and faced Beetlejuice again who had a worried face on her face.
"Take care babes," he said shortly.
"Um, sure BJ" she said and smiled, but at the same time a bit taken back of Beetlejuce's words.
And after that they separated, Lydia walked into school, while Beetlejuice started to walk the other direction, he didn't want to leave the living world yet. He didn't know why he had done what the did, nor did he knew why he said that to her, it wasn't like him to care so much about anyone.
But, face it the girl meant a lot to him, so he couldn't do much more than care for her.
"I know that there's something wrong with her, and she's hiding how ill she really is," he said to himself, he looked around at the environment and zapped himself to the Neitherworld.

The time was around half past one, and Lydia was taking notes as Ms. Shannon was speaking about some historical time period. Normally, history was her favorite subject, but now he didn't care, her head was aching, and she felt more dizzy than before. She rested her palms against her temple, it felt like the world spun around her, and it felt like she was going to throw up. Ms. Shannon seemed to notice that Lydia was feeling ill, she stopped talking and walked to the place were Lydia was sitting and laid her hand against her forehead. " You're very warm Lydia, are you okay," Ms. Shannon asked, but Lydia couldn't answer, she just looked up and met her teachers eyes with her tired ones.
"That does it, you're going home Lydia, you can't stay here," she said and helped her to get her books in her bag, and looked after Lydia until she went out from the room.
When she was home, she realized she was home alone, she leaned against the door with her back and shut her eyes for a moment, the she came to think about Beetlejuice, "Maybe I should go see him, I bet he's bored out of his mind by now," she said and went upstairs with heavy steps, almost falling backwards because she felt so dizzy at that moment. When she reached her room she shut her curtains and started to chant as usual, in the middle of the chant, she felt her throat were irritated, and when she was about to say Beetlejuice for the second time, she started to cough, and with a weak voice she continued, and when she said it the third time, her room started to change.
Soon she'd be in the Neitherworld, she'd be with Beetlejuice
