Lydia knew something was up with Beetlejuice — and she had a pretty clear idea of what had him so high strung.

Her sister.

Beetlejuice could not be subtle at all, he was head over heels, goo goo eyes, in love with Allison. Lydia thought it was kinda cute, her witchy sister and a demon? Now that's an interesting pairing but, who was she to judge? Lydia thought about it for a while and soon came to the conclusion that she would play match maker.

She was going to get Beetlejuice and Allison to confess to each other by Halloween and if she failed — at least she tried.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

"Beej! Allison!" Lydia yelled from downstairs in the living — two contracts in front of her on the coffee table. Beetlejuice had appeared on the couch meanwhile Allison walked down the stairs — it was clear that BJ was watching her as she walked over and sat down next to him, "What's up, Lydia?" Allison questioned as she slightly sunk into Beej's side — his body tensed — Allison didn't seem to notice.

Her focus was on her sister. Lydia looked between the two before she spoke, a smirk on her face, "I have a proposition for you two." Before either one could begin protesting, Lydia quickly continued, "It benefits you both, I'm not included in it at all." Allison furrowed her brows, "What is it Lydia?" The goth cleared her throat, "It's an agreement for the two of you."

An agreement? Beetlejuice and Allison both looked at each other with confused looks. "It's to help you both out — Beej, you want people to see you and Allison you want people to stay away from you." The two in question shrugged and seemed to agree. "So, this is where I come in to help, but first — lets go over the contract." She cleared her throat. If Lydia had BJ's powers, a pair of glasses would've most definitely appeared on her face. She cleared her throat as she looked at the contract — the ghost of a smile on her face.

"Okay so, I'm just gonna go over the main points cause I know someone," she looked at Beetlejuice, "can't sit still for longer than a few minutes." Allison quirked a brow as BJ threw his voice so only she could hear it, "It's true babes, I can't — but.. if someone's sitting—" Lydia cleared her throat, both of the adults looked at her — even though Beetlejuice would be considered far from being an adult, "Hey! I like acting like this, it keeps me youthful — adults are pricks!" Beetlejuice yelled at the author, even though he was told no more breaking the fourth wall.

Lydia huffed, "Can we please focus now?!" She exclaimed and Allison nodded, lightly smacking BJ's arm so he would focus on the task at hand. Lydia looked back down at the contract with an exasperated look, "Okay, point one to hit; both parties have to agree and sign their contracts for this to work. Point two; both parties accept to be legally married to each other—" Lydia was quickly cut off by Beetlejuice, "Married? Did you say married?" His head spun before he quickly stopped it. "Getting some major deja vu."

Allison furrowed her brows, "Lydia, what is this really about?" Now, that question the goth teen couldn't answer, "Look, both of you are already close to each other and it's been almost a month. Allison is an attractive woman who deals with asshole breathers most of the time she goes out and BJ, you want to be seen, and you care a lot for Allison — that much I can tell." Her words were true yet neither one admitted that. "So, please, let me do this to help you both."

BJ looked at Allison and she looked back at him — they seemed to be having a silent conversation before they looked back at Lydia, "Okay, continue." Allison urged and Lydia grinned, "Point three; both parties are meant to act like a married couple around extended family, parties, in public, and when the other says so." Beetlejuice furrowed his brows, "Wait, wait, wait — act like a married couple, how do we do that? All married couples do is argue and fuck." Lydia rolled her eyes while Allison sighed and face palmed.

The demon looked between the two sisters, "What? Am I wrong?" Lydia gave him a pointed look that quickly made him shut up. "Point four — this was specifically written for you BJ; both parties must not engage in intimacy together." Allison blushed while Beetlejuice groaned, "Boring!" He exclaimed making Lydia scoff, "Look, I'm not trying to hear you and my sister having sex in the next room when I'm trying to sleep — this is for everyone else's sake." Beetlejuice mumbled things under his breath how that was unfair while Allison cleared her throat, "What's the next point?"

Lydia looked back down at the paper, "The last point is; both parties must not fall in love with each other." Lydia suppressed a smirk as Allison looked at the demon who was picking at his nails, "That seems easy enough." She breathed out before looking back at Lydia. "Guess you got us on board — we'll be getting married then." Beetlejuice's eyes widened as he realized what Allison said — "Wait, are you sure babes? You're gonna be stuck with me forever y'know." His eyes looked worried, secretly scared she would say no, but instead she smiled at him — "I'm one hundred and ten percent more Beej, there's no one else I'd rather be married to. It's not everyday where you can marry a demon."

If Beetlejuice could blush — he most likely would've by Allison's words. Beej looked back at Lydia, "So, where are me and Allison gettin' married?" Lydia grinned, "So glad you asked BJ — it's gonna be in a church, with all of the Deetz family." Allison's eyes widened while BJ groaned, "A... a... A CHURCH?!"

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Allison was nervous — she was more than nervous — she was terrified. Here she was, getting into a wedding dress, Barbara's wedding dress, about to get married to a demon from the Neitherworld. She couldn't imagine how Beetlejuice was feeling — she knew Adam and her dad were helping him while Barbara, Lydia, and Delia were helping her. "Are you nervous?" Barbara asked as she placed the veil on Allison's head. All she could do was nod as she looked at herself in the full body mirror she stood in front of.

"It's gonna be fine — you're gonna be great, it's just Beetlejuice I'm worried about." Barbara reassured her making Allison smile before nodding. Lydia snorted a laugh, "He's been freaking out ever since yesterday — this is probably the most quiet he's ever been he's not gonna be bouncing off the walls, no one has to worry about that." Allison quirked a brow, "What if he says no, that's why he's been quiet, he's too scared to say no and just leave." She rambled but Lydia stopped her by shoving her bouquet into her hands — she had made it herself and her charm was definitely evident. "BJ would've already said no — stop worrying."

Allison nodded before looking back at her reflection — never would she have thought that she would be getting married, but, she wasn't backing out — she wanted to do this. It was an agreement that benefited both of them it's not like they were actually a couple that was now getting married no, nothing like that, "Oh my god — Allison you look beautiful." Delia exclaimed as she saw Allison fully dressed from head to toe. Barbara couldn't help but feel a bit emotional, like she was giving her daughter away. A knock came from the door and in popped Adam, "Are you girls ready?" He asked — he was wearing a suit as he was Beej's best man.

Lydia and Allison shared a look, "Yeah, she's ready."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Her dad waited in the hall — he looked more nervous than she did. Adam waited with him and soon they all walked out — "Hi dad." Allison said, making Charles look over at her and if he didn't stop himself, he would've started crying already. "Is that Barbara's wedding dress?" Adam questioned and Allison nodded, Barbara went over to him, "I was not gonna have Beetlejuice conjure up a dress for her — remember his taste in wedding dresses." Adam nodded at his wife's words before he looked back at Allison, "He's waiting for you."

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Beetlejuice stood at the altar — he looked as nice as he possibly could, he wore a better suit than the other ones he could've conjured up — mostly because of Adam telling him that he'd send him to Saturn if he didn't look nice. Members of the Deetz family filled the seats and everyone was either staring at him or staring at the double doors — waiting for Allison to walk in. The priest stood next to Beetlejuice, he looked down at his watch, "Who's the lucky girl?" The man tried to make conversation but Beej didn't respond — he was scared he'd vomit from nervousness.

And the fact he was staying still for so long.

Suddenly, the organ began playing the wedding march and everyone watched as Barbara came in, she dropped rose petals behind her as she walked before going over to where Allison would be standing — Lydia then came in, holding a black pillow with two rings on it — the wedding rings. She stood off to the side. Adam then came in and stood behind Beej before finally, Allison and Charles walked in. The white veil covered her face but it was clear to BJ that she was nervous. Charles let her go stand by BJ before he stood by Adam. "Shall we begin?" The priest asked and everyone murmured in agreement.

"The rings please." Lydia walked over and let the "couple" pick up the rings they would place on the others finger. "Now, repeat after me Allison—" The priest was cutoff by Allison, "Can we just get to the I do's?" Although both the priest and Beej were caught off guard, the priest nodded, "Do you, Allison—"

"I do."

The priest looked at BJ.

"And do you Beetle—"

"Yeah, yeah, I do."

The priest sighed, "Put on the rings." Both of them had forgotten to do that while speaking — so that was what they quickly did. Beetlejuice almost dropped the ring but luckily, he recovered and slid it onto Allison's ring finger. Allison did the same to him before they looked at each other. "You may now kiss the bride." This was it, the kiss, this was what was going to make it official. He lifted the veil off her face and gulped down a flirtatious comment he was going to make. The two leaned forward towards each other — and that's when their lips met. Something seemed to course through Beetlejuice's veins as he soon realized that he felt more alive than ever.

People were finally going to see him.
