"Hey guys, I haven't seen you folks in a while. I was starting to wonder if you were gunna leave me hanging by the neck in the netherworld." Beetlejuice said, giddiness rolling of him in waves. He winked at Lydia and strolled over to the Maitlands. "You two have improved since I last saw you. Babes I didn't know your vanilla ass could do something so gruesome. I'm so proud of you!" He said laughing and hugging them.

They both looked a little uncomfortable but smiled pleasantly and blushed. Adam jerked and let out a surprised gasp as Beetlejuice grabbed his ass. Barbara opened her mouth to reprimand Beetlejuice but found his lips on hers for a quick peck.

Almost as fast as he had stormed over he was gone leaving the flustered Maitlands with a pleased smirk. He walked over to Lydia and hugged her. Squeezing the air out of her lungs and twisting her around. "HEYO!" He yelled as Lydia laughed. "How's my BFFFF?" He said putting her down.

Lydia rolled her eyes, "better now that I'm not being suffocated anymore." Beetlejuice smiled a soft, but very crooked grimace.

"Right, well, uh...gee I don't know how to say this but I'm just gunna come out and say it." Beetlejuice teleported onto the couch in the living room behind Lydia. "Can I crash at your place for a few nights?"

Lydia looked at him suspiciously and crossed her arms. She walked over with the Deetz's and Maitlands in tow. "Why?"

"Well, ya see, people weren't too keen on the whole kill the governess of Hell kinda thing-" He covered his face with his arm dramatically. "and they're trying to get me to take up the stick so to speak. There have been all kinds of arguments about it." He waved his hand and a paper appeared in Barbara's hands.

"Beetlejuice, our newest candidate or biggest mistake." Barbara read aloud. Beetlejuice flinched in the couch but didn't say anything. Barbara read on, "The successor for the Netherworld is not only Juno's (the previous ruler's) son And murderer but an apprentice of the recently eaten women herself. People have been trying for months to get a statement, but he refuses to make the change official. Due to the vacuum of power that has opened people have started to question if the Netherworld needs rules or officials. Rumors state that if Beetlejuice does not make an elective decision by this October the 31st that the Netherworld will shut down due to a revolt of the dead."

"Revolt of the dead? What does that mean?" Delia asked nervously.

"It means..." said Beetlejuice, "that things on Living World will get very 'Night of the Living Dead.'"
