"Flight 405 is arriving at gate R." Announced the airport intercom.

Waiting, waiting, waiting.

The plane finally pulls into the gate.

Waiting, waiting, waiting as people leave the plane; then a smile forms on the face of a friend as she gazes upon two pen pal friends as the walk up the gateway.

"Oh God. We made it." D.A. Erissa gasped, as she collapsed on the floor.

Ruby helped her to stand.

"Hey guys." waved Starling. They hugged, then she loaded their bags on a rolling cart. "Welcome to the Winter Raven, the strange land of ghost."

Starling, Ruby, and Erissa have been called by the Mayor of Winter Raven to investigate the strange events happing at the Brewster Estate.

The three investigator's rang the door bell and a young blonde woman answered. "Like, who are you ?" She huffed.

"We're G.I." answered Ruby. " Mr. Ted Brewster called us to investigate the -"

"Don't say it out here !" The blonde hissed. "Just follow me to Daddy's office."

The Estate is extremely large….Cherry wood decorative staircase, painted portraits of what seemed to be the family members, expensive vintage to modern furniture, with over twenty rooms.

"Daddy's in here." said the blonde. She opened the door, and her father stood admiring the view of their Rome themed garden. "Daddy !…" She spat. "I want to go where Mommy is !" stopping her foot hard to the floor. "I want luxury and room service…and more service !"

Mr. Brewster turned to her. "I will my darling Claire, I'll drive you there myself, as soon I'm finished conducting business with these…" looking over at the three. "these…" he didn't know how to put it, such peasants being in his study. "these fine specimens."

"We're not specimens Mr. Brewster, we're intelligent young women !" Defended Ruby.

"We're G.I., the help you ordered." clarified Erissa.

Starling walked over to him. "Mr. Brewster if you want us to solve your ghost problem so your family can have a nice rich spoiled life, then you do best to respect us."

Mr. Brewster huffed. "Very well…"

"By the way…" Starling started. "Why didn't you call the Ghostbusters on this ?…" looking around the spook filled study, it seemed to be out of their league. "This situation looks like a class nine, and we're only equipped for a maximum class seven."

"I didn't get my riches from being stupid…" He replied. "I invested wisely, besides, The Ghostbusters are asking for an outrageous amount…" He huffed. "ten thousand indeed, I would rather spend that on my precious Claire." pointing to the three. "Your company is only asking for two hundred dollars."

"I knew I should've jacked up the price." Whispered Erissa to Ruby.

"Here my cell phone number, I want to be updated on your progress." Handing Starling the paper. "I trust you'll finish this quickly, and above all, discretely."

"Sure, no problem." Ruby held a devil smile.

"And whatever you brake…" Claire spat. "will be deducted from your pay."

The Brewster's departed from the estate.

"God, what a bitch." Ruby frowned as they drove off.

"I so wanted to brake something." said Erissa.

"And we can…" Smiled Starling. "Mr. Brewster sighed a contract, in understanding of the risk of Ghost capture." She removed the contract from her bag, and began reading. "I understand that the Ghost Investigators will possible damage personal belongings when capturing a ghost, and I, Mr. Brewster will not hold them accountable, and I also understand about the company's no refund policy."

"But we're not capturing ghost at the moment." Said Erissa.

"A ghost !" Screamed Starling pointing to the sky. The girls looked…nothing was there, but a loud shattering glass hit the floor. They looked back…it's a very expensive vase. "Ooospy." She smiled, proud of what she did. "It slipped."

Ruby and Erissa smirked, shaking their heads in that tisk, tisk way.

Erissa opened her book bag. "Well, let's get to work." removed a strange device, she calls it. "The Raptor…this puppy locate the ghost gateway of which they enter."

Ruby held a beaker filled with blue liquid.

"Ok Madam Mad Scientist, what have you got ?" Asked Starling.

Ruby smiled. "This my friend is a truth potion, I read that some ghost tell lies, so if we encounter one, I'll splash it with this, and it'll have no choice but to tell the truth."

"Excellent…excellent on both things." Starling smiling at her friends.

"What about you Star , what do you have ?" Asked Erissa.

Starling smiled as she showed her pride and joy. "Ladies, meet the Blastmaster XT one…" stroking the cannon so lovingly. "this will stun the ghost, or blast the fuck out of it…depending on what I set the dial on of course." still stroking the cannon.

Ruby raised a strange brow. "Would you and your Blastmaster like to get a room…." a wave of her hand. "Mr. Brewster has over twenty, I'm sure he wouldn't mind."

Starling gave her a smartass smirk.

"Guys.." Erissa called out, while staring at the Raptor screen. "I'm picking up something." She began to follow the motion patterns coming from the device, as the others followed. They entered the Brewster Family Library. "It right here."

The Raptor is beeping loudly at a large painted portrait of Claire…The painting began to swirl in no longer showing Claire's face, but instead what appear to be another dimension.

The suddenly a smooth laughter, followed by make out music, echoing thought the room. The girls looked around for the source…but saw nothing, nothing until….

"Look !" Shouted Erissa, pointing to a wide projection screen.

On the screen is a strange looking man. He's pale man with blonde hair wearing a dirty white tux with a pink ruffled shirt, and red lenses sun glasses. "Looking for love in all the wrong places.." He started. "lonely and bored on a good day or night…" waving his arm. "well then, c'mon down to Betel's Dating Service." He smiled, showing all green teeth. "I'll get you matched, dated, laid, and even married if you want."

The screen flashed. 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice'

"Just say those words three times, and I'll handle this rest." He finished off.

Then the screen went blank.

The girls returned their gaze to Claire's painting….It's back to normal.

"Beetlejuice…" called Starling.

"Wait Star…" Said Erissa. "I don't think you should -"

"Beetlejuice…"

"Stararr…" moaned Ruby.

"Beetlejuice."

The third name was announced, and the room suddenly turned dark, when the light resurfaced, they were no longer in the Brewster Estate…they were now standing in the unknown.
