So for this chapter…I honestly had no idea how to end it. Seriously, the movie gave me like no inspiration. I knew I had to put in the scene w/ them getting the key to the city, but what to do for the rest of the chapter. Then I thought, I kinda gave them an original busting job in the epilogue to the last chapter, why don't I create a new original busting job…kinda like an episode of Real Ghostbusters. Hey, I needed an idea, sue me.

Without further ado, the final chapter to Ghostbusting is Still VicTORIous. Please enjoy.

Sinjin, Tori, Trina, and Mayor Lane were on the steps of the museum as the Ghostbusters stepped out in triumph.

"Hey, did you see?" Sinjin was excited. "Did you see what I did with the ghostbusting stuff?"

"I see you're wearing my old uniform," Andre observed. "But I do love the way it looks on you."

"Um…thank you."

"Hate to break it to ya freak," Rex put his arm around Sinjin's shoulder, "but we did all the work and it just looked like you saved the day."

Sinjin sighed. "Can I at least keep the uniform?"

"Gentlemen, whatever happened isn't gonna happen again?" Lane questioned.

"No sir, your Mayorness," Beck responded. "Unless of course we have to pay for damage then yes I say there's a possibility something like this could happen again."

"Fine, consider yourself clear of any lawsuits or fines."

"And we can still operate our business full time?" Robbie added as a side note.

"Of course." There was a mini celebration amongst the group. "I figured it's the least we can do since you saved the city."

"Twice," Rex piped up.

"Thank you, Rex."

"So that's all they get?" Tori asked. "For saving the city…"

"Twice," Rex reminded.

"…they just get to keep their much needed jobs? Can't they get some kinda gift or something, like a key to the city or something?"

"Or their own TV show starring me?" Trina suggested.

"It's not asking much, but I think maybe the city should give them something back."

"Someone wants a promotion," Beck whispered to his crew.

Lane thought this through. "Well…I suppose. But I can only give them one giant key."

Rex raised his hands in acknowledgement. "Dibs in my apartment!"

"No," Beck told him.

"The key would belong to all of us," Robbie reminded. "I suggest we keep it in the firehouse."

"I love that idea," Andre agreed.

"Yeah, me too," Beck decided. "Just so long as the spud doesn't get his slimy little hands on it." The sound of an excited yelp was heard as a fast floating green figure approached. "Speak of the devil." Slimer flew over to each of the Ghostbusters and planted a slimy wet kiss on their faces. "Yuck!"

"Disgusting," Robbie took off his glasses and wiped off the slime as Cat giggled.

"Dang slimeball," Rex angrily brushed slime out of his view.

"It's okay Slimer," Andre patted the ghost on its head. "I love you too."

"How much longer is this love-fest gonna last?"

"Hopefully right after he takes a shower," Beck commentated as he noticed slime dripping from his hair. "Well, after I take one of course."

…

"Ghostbusters," Tori answered the phone the following week while wearing a nice dress, "today…no sorry sir…er, sorry ma'am, but the Ghostbusters are going to be honored by the mayor this afternoon…they'll take care of it as soon as possible…yes ma'am…goodbye." Tori hung up the phone.

"Who was that," Andre slid down the pole in one of his finest tuxedos.

"Just another job," Tori replied. "Andre, your tie's crooked."

"Is it?"

"Here, let me fix it," she went over to him and started to adjust his tie.

"Thanks, I don't know what we'd do without you."

"Same as you always did because you had Cat as a secretary before me."

"Yeah, but you're more efficient and smarter."

"Thank you."

"And thank you again for convincing Lane to do this for us."

"I figured the city and I owe you guys something after you saved everybody and got me a job." Andre let out a small laugh. "And…done."

"Great." Andre swallowed something in his throat. "And uh…I was thinking…maybe after this…you and I…just the two of us I mean…could…you know…we could…"

"Go out?"

"Unless you don't want to."

"No, I want to; I was wondering when you were gonna ask me."

"You were?"

"I know you have a crush on me."

"You do?"

"Yup."

"How did you figure it out?"

"Well, you talk whenever you sleep. You tend to nap in the den which is next to the kitchen and…"

"Right, right."

"Plus I remember you saying five years ago that I was your dream girl."

"And I guess you still are."

"Thank you, Andre," Tori kissed him on the cheek. "Wanna ride to the ceremony together?"

"I'd love to really, but the guys and I are riding in the Ecto-1."

"Speaking of guys, the only one around here is Sinjin."

"Sinjin's here?"

"It's best that you don't go looking for him; he and my sister are making out somewhere."

"Hmm, that's what those noises were- I thought it was Slimer." Andre shuddered. "Gross."

"Hold on, where's Rex?"

"He's having a hard time convincing his date to come with him."

"Who's he asking, some North Ridge Girl?"

"Naw, he said she's local and he met her through us." Rex's car pulled into the firehouse as an angry looking Rex came out. "Looks like he's goin' dateless."

"Dang grunge," Rex muttered as he made his way over to his friends, "she don't know who she's missin'."

"Maybe we can convince her to change her mind. Who'd you ask?"

"Hayley Ferguson."

"Hayley Ferguson? The prosecutor at our trial? Why would you ask her out?"

"She's hot. This sucks, now I gotta go alone."

"You could take Slimer," Tori suggested. When the ghost heard his name he excitedly flew down the pole and positioned himself beside Rex.

"I'd rather go alone."

"Come on; he's like our mascot he should be allowed to go," Andre persuaded.

"I guess he can go as long as he keeps his slimy hands to himself." Slimer nodded and shook Rex's hand in agreement. "That means don't do that!" Rex tried to flick his hand clean as the others laughed.

"Ooh, Slimer," Tori went to get something from her desk, "if you go you have to look presentable." She went back over to Slimer with a bow tie. "Put that between your neck and chest." Slimer did as instructed. "My, my, don't you look fancy?" Slimer bowed.

"Where'd you get the bowtie?"

"Cat won it in some raffle thing she entered, didn't need it, and gave it to me."

"Girl's weird."

"I like to think of her as quirky."

"Where is the Little Red anyway?" Andre inquired.

"I dunno, she didn't show up today."

"Neither did Shapiro," Rex suggestively informed.

"No and neither did Beck," Tori added. "Maybe they took a vacation day."

"Beck's on his way actually; he tried to get some sleep because he and Jade were up all night takin' care of the kid."

"What's wrong with Ethan?"

"Nothin' serious accordin' to the doctor they talked to. Probably just some twenty-four hour bug or somethin'."

"Thank God."

A car pulled into the firehouse. "Looks like Shapiro and his lady are here" The three of them (plus Slimer) watched as Cat stepped out of the car, alone. "Or not."

"Hi!" Cat giddily waved to them. "Look, I drove in a dress and tennis shoes," she pointed to her sneakers and started laughing as if it was the funniest thing ever. "It's such a weird combination."

"Someone overdid it with the happy pill."

"Hey Cat," Andre started, "where's Robbie?"

Cat stopped laughing. "He's not here?"

"You don't know where he is?"

"He said he would be here. He was working on invention stuff last night and said he was gonna spend the night here."

"He wasn't here when I showed up," Tori confessed. "We have no idea where he would be."

"Neither do I."

The gang turned to see Beck's truck pull into the firehouse. Beck got out of the driver's side and then (like a gentleman would do) he opened the passenger side to let Jade and Ethan out. "What up group?" Beck asked.

"We were getting ready to go but we can't find Robbie," Andre answered back.

"I haven't seen him since last night. He was still here when I left the firehouse though, working on something in the upstairs lab before heading downstairs to the…"

"THE CONTAINMENT UNIT!" the boys all ran to the downstairs lab, which showed no signs of life.

Andre instantly checked the containment unit. "The containment was last updated at 1:27 this morning, but the last ghost stored in the unit was from December 29th."

"Check the record of ghosts," Beck instructed.

Andre did that. "None of them have been released." He quickly inspected the storage unit. "And nothing's wrong with it either."

"So Robbie updated it at 1:27 this morning after he told me he was staying here overnight."

"The one time I opt to sleep in my other house and Robbie goes missin'!"

"Yo, check this out," Rex gestured them to the computer. "I hacked the security footage from last night. There was a point where he left the lab but came back less than five minutes later before falling asleep down here."

"So what did he do in that short time span?" Beck inquired aloud.

"Let me hack the other footage from the other cameras."

"Should we be concerned that you do this, or what? How did you-"

"I have a whole 'nother life y'all know nothin' 'bout." Rex did some more typing before the guys noticed footage of Robbie on the main floor. "What's that he's holdin'?"

Beck squinted to get a better look. "Looks like he's holding a…a flower pot." They watched as he set the flower pot on Cat's desk. "I think those are flowers; they must've been a present for Cat."

"I'm just surprised the plant's still alive," Andre stated. "Every time Robbie experiments with plants- or even touches a plant- the plant dies."

"Then what's so special about this particular plant that it's not dead?" Rex questioned.

"Maybe if we keep watching we'll find out," Beck suggested as the guys went back to watching the footage. Eyes fixated on the plant, they couldn't help but notice the plant's branches had started to grow. The branch seemed to be searching for signs of life as it made its way into the basement where Robbie was sleeping. Finding the first sign of life, the plant snatched the sleeping scientist and carried it up the stairs. "There's something you don't see every day." The pot carrying the plant got itself off the desk and launched itself- branches and Robbie included- into a nearby mirror. "I don't remember getting that mirror."

"One of the girls must've bought it," Andre suggested.

"Yeah," Rex's eyes were darting around in secrecy, "one of the girls."

"Where did you buy the mirror Rex?" Beck questioned.

"I got it cheap at some pawn shop."

"The mirror must be a gateway or somethin' into some strange spirit world," Andre deduced. "Something in that world must need a human for somethin' strange."

"And whenever there's something strange we're the ones to take care of it," Beck headed up the stairs. "Suit up boys; it's Ghostbusting time." The three of them ran upstairs and to their lockers.

"You lying bastard," Jade seemed miffed (then again, what was new about that) when the guys ran up from the basement and straight to their lockers, "you said you weren't taking any gigs today."

"That's business. This time, it's personal."

"Don't ever use that line again."

"What's going on?" Cat was genuinely concerned.

"We'll explain later!"

"Explain now you jackasses!" Jade ordered

"Why are you guys ghostbusting now and why is it personal?" Tori questioned.

"Does it have to do with Robbie?" Cat asked.

"Yeah, but we'll explain later," Andre zipped up his uniform and grabbed his proton pack.

"What's wrong with Robbie?"

"Hopefully, nothing."

The back of the Ecto-1 opened and out came a disheveled looking Sinjin with lipstick smeared over his face. "Are you guys going ghostbusting? Can I come too?"

"What were you doin' in our car and why do you smell like sweat and shame?"

"Um…nothing, no reason. Can I please come ghostbusting with you guys? Please, please, please, please, please, plea-"

"FINE!" Beck had enough. "Just do exactly as we say."

"Yes sir!" Sinjin went into the spare locker and hurriedly put on a uniform (with a badly sewn nametag of his last name over the original nametag) and put on the spare proton pack.

"Alright, we'll be back in under twenty minutes."

"And what if you're not back in less than twenty minutes?" Jade coldly questioned.

"Uh…we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"Beck," Cat ran up to him, "can you at least tell me what's wrong with Robbie?"

"There's no use hiding it from you: Rex hacked into the security camera footage we installed and he saw that a plant had snatched Robbie while he was sleeping and carried him into the mirror over there," Beck pointed to the mirror.

"We think the mirror is some kinda gateway or somethin'," Andre felt compelled to add this.

"Plant?" Cat looked confused. "But every time Robbie experiments with plants- or even touches a plant- the plant dies."

"That's when we figured somethin' was up with the plant," Rex commentated.

"So you're saying the plant and the mirror have some kind of connection?" Tori inquired.

"Maybe, but we don't know," Andre honestly answered.

"You gals just head on down to the ceremony and stall if necessary," Beck instructed.

"What if something happens to you guys?" Jade's vulnerable side was showing, the thought of losing Beck again too much for her to handle.

"Don't worry about us," Beck gave her a kiss on the lips, "we'll be fine." He knelt down to Ethan's eye level. "Take care of your Mama little man," he tousled the small amount of hair Ethan had and joined the other guys over by the mirror. "This is it gents; we're goin' in." They tried to walk into the mirror, but were denied entrance and fell backwards.

"That's wonky," Andre stated.

"Why won't it let us in?" Sinjin asked.

"Maybe we need some kinda plant to get or somethin'."

Rex zapped the mirror with his proton blaster and opened the gateway. "Done."

"How did you do that without the mirror shatterin'?"

"I aimed my gun at that weird design at the top. That must be like the doorbell or somethin'. Now I opened the spirit door, I ain't goin' in first."

"Sinjin!" the three decided.

"I should be upset about this but I'm not because I'm wanted!" with excitement, Sinjin ran into the doorway. However, his scream could quickly be heard. The rest of the guys ran in simultaneously, and without looking had fallen down some sort of dirt hole and they were screaming as they fell at least ten feet before landing on their backsides beside Sinjin. "I didn't know, but there was a hole."

"Thanks Captain Obvious," Beck was the first to stand up. "Come on, there's only one way outta here and I'm sure that one way will lead us to Robbie."

"Who's the Captain Obvious now?"

"Dang, the freak just burned you Beck," Rex chuckled.

"Shut up," Beck led the team forward and to a green door with the same symbol on the mirror. Cautiously opening the door, the men found themselves staring at a plant lover's paradise. Everywhere there were plants and flowers and everything botanical you could imagine. "Someone likes to garden." Only looking forward, none of them noticed the action going on on the ground. Roots were reaching around their ankles and keeping the guys where they were standing.

"Attempts to break free are futile," a female voice was heard.

"Yeah, no shit."

Appearing in the center of wherever they were was a new monster. "I am Rosolet, and you are trespassers."

"We don't mean to trespass," Andre was freaking out. "We'll leave, we promise."

"We're not leaving until we get our friend Robbie back!" Beck glared at Rosolet. "We know you have him."

Rosolet moved leaves around to reveal a still unconscious Robbie wrapped in vines. "For centuries I have searched for him."

"Back off Rosie, he's got a girlfriend."

"He is the only pure one descended from the man who murdered my offspring. His life force is needed for the resurrection of my offspring."

Rex raised his eyebrow in confusion. "In English."

"She's saying that one of Robbie's ancestors killed her kid," Beck answered back.

"I read about this story once in some urban legends book," Andre remembered. "Rosolet was some medieval princess who loved plants and was accidentally strangled by vines; but she didn't technically die, she became like some ghostly plant queen. She only created one totally and completely original plant and named it Lildus because she considered him to be like a son. They were frequent visitors on Earth to aide in helping plant life grow when someone- apparently one of Robbie's ancestors- came across Lildus and captured it for whatever reason. By the time Rosolet found Lildus, he was dead."

"Sounds like Rob's ancestors didn't have much luck with plants either."

"If Rosolet wanted to resurrect Lildus, she'd have to take the life force of the guy who killed Lildus, or the life force with someone of the same DNA…but it wouldn't work unless the human was a virgin and had willingly grew a plant from a seed."

"Robbie does have things going on that we don't know about," Rex thought.

"He was probably trying to grow a flower from scratch for some ghostbusting experiments," Sinjin thought.

"Or for his lady friend."

"And the only way Rosolet coulda brought Robbie back to her world was through a spirit gateway...which none of his other ancestors could've had," Andre deduced.

"Yeah, or his other ancestors got more action than he did by the time plant queen here caught up with them."

"So she's gonna suck out Robbie's life and put it in the body of her dead plant son?" Sinjin asked for clarification.

"Not if we do something about it," Beck reached for his proton gun and shot the root that was trapping him, and was subsequently released. Andre, Rex, and Sinjin did the same and were all free.

Rosolet's eyes began to glow red and she levitated herself and started bringing more and more plants to life. "ATTACK!" Branches, roots, and vines sprang up from everywhere as the guys tried to fight them off to no avail.

"Did I mention she can control any plant she comes in contact with?" Andre asked as vines were wrapping around him.

"I think we figured that out," Rex tried to fight off the roots, but they were too strong.

"What do we do now?" Sinjin was beyond panicked as he was being cocooned in leaves.

"Whaddya askin' me for? Beck's the leader."

"Sorry guys," Beck didn't know what to say or do- his proton pack completely useless on the ground, "we're screwed."

"The time is upon us,"Rosolet went over to Robbie and was using some kind of magic to suck out his life. "Soon Lildus were live again, and we shall take control of every botanical life form in the world. Nothing and no one can stop us now! Plants shall inherit the Earth!"

"One thing I learned about plants," this was Cat's voice, "if you give them too much water, they die."

"HOSE HER!" now Jade's voice was heard.

Not knowing what was going on, the boys were more than stunned to find that all things green were turning brown, and that all living plants were dying…and that they were being sprayed with water. In a quick instant, Trina had also pulled the trap off a nearly freed Sinjin's back and successfully trapped Rosolet's spirit. Once the boys were completely free, they looked to see four women standing there with a giant fire house from the firehouse- except for Trina who had just trapped the ghost-, each woman wearing a different colored uniform (Cat in pink, Jade in black, Trina in purple, and Tori in orange). In a matter of seconds, Rosolet was completely destroyed- the botanical victim of overwatering.

"DANG!" the (conscious guys were dumbfounded).

Tori started forward, "We didn't think it was fair that Sinjin be an honorary Ghostbuster and not us."

"Nice uniforms," Rex complimented.

"You like? Cat ordered them from where she got your uniforms and we each got to pick our own colors."

"They look good on you ladies."

"And thanks for saving us," Andre thanked.

"Wasn't gonna let ya have all the fun," Jade slinked her way over to Beck and gave him a kiss. "Killing plants was a bonus. OW!" On her back she was wearing one of those Snugli baby carriers with Ethan in the carrier tugging on her hair. "If you're gonna pull hair, pull Beck's!"

"But how did you know what to do with the hose?" Beck asked.

"I remember you saying something about an evil plant and I learned from Robbie that if you overwater a plant it'll die," Cat explained. "Where is he?" Rex and Andre pointed to Robbie, who was lying on the ground unresponsive. "Robbie?" Cat tried shaking him. "Robbie!" She was about to cry when she heard Robbie emit hacking noises. "Robbie, you're okay!"

Robbie sat up. "Yeah Cat, I'm fine. Um…why am I not in the lab?"

"You were kidnapped by some mean plant lady who almost killed you."

"Oh," Robbie seemed unaffected by this. "Well, thank you guys for coming to my rescue." An alarm on his watch went off. "Oh no, we're late for the Mayor's ceremony."

"I'm sure Lane won't mind if we're a few twenty minutes late," Beck nonchalantly said. "Now, how do we get back to the firehouse?"

"We don't," Robbie observed, "the only way out is to move forward."

"So we figure out where this thing takes us, head to the firehouse, smash the mirror, and go to the ceremony. No big." They followed the path forward until they came to some portal. Stepping into the portal, the four Ghostbusters instantly knew where they were. "Oh, this is convenient."

"Where are we?" Tori asked.

"Well wherever we are this place could sure use a makeover," Trina commentated.

"Folks," Beck opened the door in the building where a large crowd was awaiting, "it's time for the mayor's ceremony." Beck was the first out of what was revealed to be the giant 'H' of the Hollywood sign. Andre followed out, then Robbie, then Rex, followed by Sinjin, Trina, Tori, Cat, and Jade (and Ethan) respectively.

"What a way to make an entrance," Lane whispered to them before going to the podium and addressing the public. "Citizens of Los Angles, it is my great honor and privilege to bestow the honorary key to the city to the one, the only, the Ghostbusters!" He handed an oversized key to the four heroes, who proudly held it up as the public cheered.

"How we gonna get this home?" Rex whispered to Robbie.

"Just because I'm smart doesn't mean I have all the answers," Robbie whispered back.

A siren noise made the crowd part as the Ecto-1 pulled up near the Ghostbusters. Flying out of the driver's side in his bowtie was Slimer. "Ta-da!" Slimer bowed.

"I ain't driving the car back," Beck declined.

"Let's just get this key on top of the car," Andre led everyone to the car where they set the giant key in place. "Alright, good to go."

"Oh wait," Lane ran to the side and came back with four bouquets of flowers, "these flowers are gifts for you, compliments of Fiona's Floral Funhouse- I promised her I'd give them to you."

Beck was the first to shove his bouquet to Lane. "Thanks, but no thanks. I think we could use a break from anything botanical."

…

After heading back to the firehouse to get their own modes of transportation and do their own separate things, the group had one of the biggest celebrations ever celebrated. They ate, they danced, they karaoked, it was just fun all around. When it was past midnight, everyone decided they were too tired to leave and the girls slept in the firehouse bedroom while Sinjin slept on the worn out couch in the upstairs lab.

As for the Ghostbusters, sure they were also tired, but the day's events kept them awake as they talked for what seemed like hours in the game room.

"Hey, 'Dre," Rex directed this to Andre, "how'd the date with Tori go man?"

Andre smiled. "It went good, real good. We're goin' to see a movie on our next day off."

"Great," Beck raised his plastic Dixie cup to Andre. "I wish you guys the best."

"Thanks."

"What about you, what did you do after the ceremony?"

Beck quickly drank his drink. "Packed, same as I've been doing for the past few days."

"Now that you and Jade are moving in to a new apartment," Robbie began, "what's gonna happen to the other apartments?"

"I don't know what Jade's doing with hers, but I sold mine to an old acquaintance."

"Who?"

"To a man eager to gain independence from his mother."

"Dickless," the other three knew.

"I figured, Dickless and I got off on the wrong foot and maybe I showed so some human compassion because he won't. I managed to convince the landlord to up the rent and not send in maintenance after I move out."

"Clever," Rex chuckled. "Well, I didn't have time to go to North Ridge so I tried to find somethin' to do when I met some freaky hippie drinking coconut milk standin' outside Andre's shop and we got into a discussion about the end of the world. He says the end of the world is Valentine's Day, 2016 and that a mermaid married to Big Foot will enslave the earth and turn all humans into robots."

"That guy sounds kinda familiar. Did you catch his name?"

"Didn't bother to care; but the dude is hilarious."

"What about you Rob?" Andre gestured toward Robbie. "Where did you head off to?"

Robbie shrugged. "What's there to tell? I ran a few errands, helped set up for this spontaneous party, and now I'm here with you guys…oh, and I was almost drained of my life by some vengeful plant spirit but that's not so unusual. Why do you guys care about what I do anyway?"

"It's 'cause I couldn't help but notice that," Beck pointed to Robbie's left ring finger.

Robbie examined his finger. "What this? It's just a band of gold around my left ring finger. Is it supposed to symbolize anything in particular?"

"Oh, okay. Well I thought I'd bring this to attention because I noticed your lady friend had an identical band of gold around her left ring finger. Coincidence; I think not."

"You guys could really notice them?" The three of them nodded. "Fine, if you must know we got married at City Hall, the mayor was an official witness."

"That's great, man."

"Were you plannin' on doin' this or was it spur-of-the-moment like the party?" Andre inquired.

"I was gonna give Cat her favorite flowers as an engagement present and I thought it would be more romantic to grow them myself," Robbie explained. "After that whole incident where I almost died, I decided that I really shouldn't put it off any longer. I was gonna spend the rest of my life with her anyway so I skipped the engagement, and proposed marriage- she didn't seem to mind."

"Congrats, Shapiro," Rex patted Robbie's shoulder.

"Yeah, good goin' Rob," Andre agreed.

Beck raised his cup. "Best of luck in the future. I propose a toast," he waited for the other guys to raise their cups, "to Robbie and Cat."

"Cheers," they clinked their cups together and drank.

"Hey, any of you guys tired?" Andre asked.

"Not really," Beck replied.

"No," Robbie responded.

"What'd you got in mind Andre?" Rex questioned

Andre smiled. "I feel like dancin'." He went to the radio.

"Anything but Wham, I beg you!"

"Chillax fellas," Andre put in a blank CD. "It's just one song." Andre turned up the volume as upbeat familiar music started to play. Inspired, the other three stood up and decided to dance to their theme.

"If there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood

Who you gonna call?"

"GHOSTBUSTERS!" The four of them shouted as they danced.

I had no idea how to end this and I was kinda wingin' it at first, though I kinda wanted to give the girls some ghostbusting action before I officially ended it. I hope this was satisfactory, I mean I'm sure it could've been better but like I said, Ghostbusters II didn't really give me much to work with ending wise so I made this an original ending chapter.

Well, this is all the Ghostbusters you're gonna get from me. I hope you all enjoyed this series and thanks for sticking w/me. Peace out!
