A/N: Why does Egon look cute in this Gif?
~Courtyard
As you guess it, The Ghostbusters got arrested and ended up in court. Causing a blackout (Thanks to Camila) and property damage five years doesn't look so hot for the six scientist, hence the lawsuit.
Charli sat next to Egon and Ray while Camila sat in the middle of Ray and Peter, the five waited until they heard three banged of a gravel. They shared a nervous look at one another and back at the judge "Before we begin this trial I want to one thing very clear. The law does not recognize the existence of ghosts, I don't believe in them either. Don't wanna hear a lot of malarkey about goblins and spooks and demons. We're gonna stick to the facts in this case and leave the ghost stories to the kiddies, understood?"
"Sounds like a pretty open minded guy." Winstion whispered to the five.
"Yeah, they call him 'The Hammer'." Egon whisper back.
"I don't even wanna know why." Charli said to the boys.
"What can we do? It's all in the hands of our lawyer now." Ray said to the others, the six look to see Louis Tully with books in his hands. "They're joking, right?" Camila ask with a scoff, Charli shook her head slowly while mouthing "Nope".
"Were going to jail." Camila mutter under her breath, Louis walk over to the six scientist "I think you guys are making a big mistake, I mostly do tax laws and probate stuff occasionally. I got my law degree at night school." he explained.
"Well, that's fine, Louis. We got arrested at night." Camila stated at him, which made Ray put his hands at the desk.
~~~
The opening remarks began as Louis starts to tell everyone that his colleagues aren't frauds he starts to call fourth for none other than Charli Lopez, who give her the iconic glare look. He mutter out an apology to her. She got up and walk over to the witness stand, "So, Miss Lopez how long have you known these boys?" The prosecutor ask Charli.
"I know these boys since Collage, I was only Eighteen years old when I met Dr. Stanz and Dr. Spengler. When I was Nineteen I've met (And dated) Dr. Venkman." Charli explained to the Prosecutor.
"Best year of my life." Peter whisper to the others.
"Well then, please look at Exhibits A through F on the table over here. Do you recognize this equipment?" The Prosecutor said while gesturing at the equipment.
"Yes I do."Charli said getting irritated.
"Do you know what this equipment is used for?" The Prosecutor ask her.
Charli sighed and said "Of course I know what is for, I work with these guys for a long time. Hell, I'm in a relationship with one of them," Egon smirked when she said "Relationship". "So correct, I know what these equipment are, we use them to hunt and catch ghost." Charli explained to the Prosecutor.
The Prosecutor scoff and said "May I remind the court that the defendants are under a judicial restraining order that strictly forbids them from performing services as paranormal investigators or eliminators."
Chari scoff as well "Yes, I know that," she then turned to the Judge, "Are we done here, Your Honor?"
The Judge banged his gravel which made Charli jumped, "Dismissed."
Charli smirked at the Prosecutor while getting up and walk over to the others and sat down on her original spot, Egon leaned over to her and whispered "Good job, Charli. Long but detailed." the corner of her lips smile at him.
Moment after Camila was done being interviewed it was Peter Venkman's turn to be interviewed, "Dr. Venkman, would you please tell the court why it is that you and your co-defendants took it upon yourselves to dig a very big hole in the middle of First Avenue?" The Prosecutor ask him.
"Well, there are so many holes in First Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice." Peter replied with a wink and few laughter from the audience, The Judge banged his gravel "Keep that up, mister, I'll find you in contempt." he warned Peter.
"I'm truly sorry, Your Honor."
The Prosecutor walk closer to Peter, "I'll ask you again, Dr. Venkman, why were you digging the hole? And please remember you're under oath." she explained to him.
"There are some things in this world that go way beyond human understanding, things that cannot be explained. Things that some don't even want to know about, that is where we come in." He explained motioning towards his four colleagues who nodded in agreement.
The Prosecutor leaned up against the witness stand, "So what you're saying is that the world of the supernatural is your exclusive province?" she ask Peter.
Peter put his hands on hers, which made her move her hands and cross them. "Kitten, I think that what I'm saying is that sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?"
The audience cheered at this, which only made The Judge angrier and banged on his gravel. Little did they know that the pink ooze starts to bubble.
"Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Charlene and Camila Lopez, Egon Spengler, stand up. Get up! You too, Mr. Tully." The Judge yelled out, the six got up slowly already knowing their fate. Egon slowly took Charli's hand and intertwine it with his, "I find you guilty on all charges, I order you to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each!"
Ray and Charli heard something bubbling, they both turn to see the slime bubbling up as The Judge is yelling at them. "Eggy, She's twitching!" Ray mutter to Egon who also looks at the slime bubbling, The Judge notice the scientist not paying attention to him which only made him angrier.
"I'm not finished! On a more personal note, let just me go on record as saying that there is no place for fakes, charlatans-"
"Uh, Your Honor?" Egon interrupted, watching the slime bubbling up more and more. "Shut up! and tricksters like you in decent society!"
"Please, Your Honor!" Charli pleaded.
"Your Honor, this is important!" Peter said.
The Judge continued his rant on The Ghostbusters, Egon motioned the others to get down. As soon the others got down, a huge explosion caused from the slime in result freed two ghost. Chaos ensued from the two ghost, everyone from the gallery left, the stenographer and bailiff ran into the juror's room.
"Oh my God, the Scoleri brothers!" The Judge said in shock, the Scoleri brothers dive bomb towards the judge's bench. The Judge leaped from his chair and ran towards the Ghostbusters, "Scoleri brothers!" he cried out.
"Friends of yours?" Camila ask.
"I tried them for murder, gave them the chair!" The Judge explained.
The brothers cackled as they scanned the roam, "You gotta do something!" The Judge cried out. "Why don't you tell them you don't believe in ghosts?" Egon joked.
The Scoleri brothers toss away the table that they're hiding under, the six ran towards the judge's door only to find that it's locked. "Shit, it's locked!" Camila cried out, The judged grabbed Ray. "You gotta do something, help me!" he cried out.
"Don't talk to me, talk to my attorney." Ray informed while gesturing towards Louis.
"And that's me! My guys are still under a judicial mistrangement order, that blue thing I got from her! They could be exposing themselves." Louis informed the Judge, "And you don't want us exposing ourselves." Peter said.
Minutes later, once of the Scoleri brothers carried the Prosecutor out the door. "Well, she's getting on my nerves anyway." Charli quipped, which earned the look from Egon.
"You're next, bubbles." Peter said.
Finally, the judge gave in "All right, all right! I rescind the order, case dismissed!"
"Hooray, we won the case!" Louis cheered, but it was cut short by the judge demanding them to do something.
The Ghostbusters started to suit up, "I always hated this part of the business." Peter groaned while putting on his proton pack.
"You know, it's been a couple of years since we used this stuff. I hope it still works." Camila said.
"It should, the power cells have a half-life of five thousand years." Egon explained.
"Well, there's no time for a bench test. Heat 'em up!" Ray interjected, the five started to turn on their proton pack.
Peter starts to sing low along with Charli as they said in unison, "Doe..."
Ray and Camila chimed in, "Ray..."
"Egon!"
Charli smiled at her witty boyfriend's joke, who smirked at the others at his joke. After the fun was over, they saw chairs fly around the air. The five starts shoot at the brothers only to make the Scoleri brothers fly away, Ray then chuckle along with the sisters, Peter and Egon.
But the laughter was cut short until the Scoleri brothers came back, Peter manage to grab the fat one "Come on big boy, I'm gonna take you home to my private zoo!" he exclaimed.
"Spengie, bring out the trap!" Ray yell out to Egon.
"Behind you, Ray!" Egon cried out, pointing at the tall Scoleri brother. Ray manages to catch the tall one with help of Camila.
"Charli, come help me!" Egon yell for his girlfriend, she comes rushing over and helped him out with the trap.
"OK, trap's going out." Egon said once him and Charli finished the trap, Egon help the others out with the ghost. "Now, Charli!" Ray yell out, Charli slid the trap out and press the trap's pedal that suck the two Scoleri brothers in.
" Two in the box!" Ray and Camila started.'
Peter joined "Ready to go!"
Egon and Charli joined "We be fast..."
The five said in unison while pointing at the ghost trap "and they be slow!"
~~~
The five Ghostbusters walk out of the ghost trap in Louis hands, while Egon hold Charli's waist with pride. "We're the best, we're the beautiful, we're the only.....Ghostbusters!" Peter said with pride.
"We're back!" They all said in unison.
