Day Three
"Do you hear that sound?" BJ smirked, grinning at his two new friends. Lydia returned the grin and nodded.
"That beautiful sound."
"That is the sound, of clean white, shorts turning brown!" Beetlejuice exclaimed, getting a giggle out of Skye. What could she say? Potty humor was enjoyable.
"Torture and pain! Breaking a brain."
"This is so awesome!" Skye squealed, balling her fists and jumping up and down out of excitement.
"A sound that says, I will never! Sleep well again." He pointed finger guns at Lydia and Skye. Skye grabbed Lydia and pulled her into another tight hug, she let out a happy and incredibly loud scream. BJ and Lydia gave her a worried look, but went back to their regular demeanor.
"The sound of a scream, is music to me. A sound that says fifteen years full-time therapy!" She nudged BJ on the arm, he chuckled and threw an arm over her.
"Trauma and fear, it sings in my ear!"
"Ain't it the, sweetest noise around. That beautiful sound!" The group sang together, the sound of a doorbell echoed throughout the house.
"Ooh! Someone's at the door!" Skye loudly whispered, Lydia cocked an eyebrow and looked up at BJ. He had this big gigantic excited smile on his face, he was practically begging for the chance to open the door.
"You wanna answer it this time?" She tilted her head, BJ nodded excessively as he dashed for the door.
"More than anything!" He giggled, yes, he giggled. He sounded like a 5-year old getting permission to stay up late. Lydia snorted and rolled her eyes, she held up a finger, signaling for him to wait a minute. She just wanted to give him a little heads up before he went crazy with their new found guests.
"Don't oversell it, act natural."
"Come on, you're giving me advice?" The demon cackled and opened the door. There stood a cleaned up man, with a huge smile on his face. Oh, this would be fun.
"Hello? I'm with the U.S. Census Bureau, time for a few- OH MY GOD!" He screeched when meeting eyes with Beetlejuice. He felt bad for screaming even though BJ looked disgustingly horrifying. He though maybe it was just a deformed man who couldn't handle but look gross and green, right? No need to scream and be offensive.
"Hi."
"How many people live here?"
"Just me," Lydia smirked, the man raised an eyebrow. He turned to Beetlejuice and pointed at him.
"Oh, and you?"
"I don't live here, I'm dead!" That alone made the man scream again. Beetlejuice slammed the door on his face and laughed along with Lydia. Skye looked between the two and started laughing herself. She was happy that they were happy!
"Panic and stress!" BJ locked arms with Lydia.
"Panic and stress!" She repeated.
"Ain't it the best!?" Beetlejuice let go of Lydia, running to plop down on the couch. She followed his actions, sitting right next to him.
"Ain't it the best?"
"The sound of a heart," Skye squeezed herself in between them. "Exploding inside a chest!" She pat herself on the chest and raised her hands in the air. Lydia stood up, pulling Skye up with her and spinning her around.
"If fills you with pride!"
"Were ruining lives!"
"Ain't it the, sweetest noise in town? That beautiful sound!" They sang in unison. Suddenly an idea popped into BJ's head. He let in a sharp and loud gasp, gaining a look from the two girls beside him.
"Hey! You know what would make this all even more awesome?" He questioned, raising a mischievous eyebrow. Lydia didn't like the look on his face, but who did really? Skye didn't care much, she just heard the word awesome and immediately thought it was something good. She pulled on his sleeves and jumped up and down.
"What!?"
"More me!" BJ shouted, "All we wanna do is hear that sound, all we wanna do is hear that sound. Fellas!" He snapped his fingers and in the corner another Beetlejuice appeared. It looked exactly like him, same green hair, same striped suit and same devilish smile. Everytime BJ snapped his fingers more and more of him appeared repeating the all too familiar phrase: All We Wanna Do Is Hear That Sound! Skye and Lydia's eyes widened, they looked at each other before their attention turned back to the many Beetlejuices. But the two really got into it, sooner or later they were joining in!
"All we wanna do is hear that sound!" They shouted, breaking into dance!
"Yeah, everybody! Hey- Hey! Watch." Beej did his own dance, his clones following his every move. Lydia chuckled at them. Skye was obviously following along too.
"Lydia! Watch this!" Skye stared doing her own little dance as well. The clones started doing Skye's dance, Lydia laughed again. BJ glared at her and refrained from calling the 12 year old an 'Attention Whore'.
"Lydia! Over here!" BJ pointed at himself, wanting the focus back on him. He did a different dance, the clones repeated that one too. Lydia smiled and rolled her eyes, time to steal the show.
"HEY!" She shouted, getting the clones attention. She began to dance as well, the clones became her back-up dancers to this dance as well. Beetlejuice was a little shocked, this kid was fun!
"Nice moves Lydia!" He complimented, she giggled at the comment and continued her dance.
DING DONG
"Ooh, oh! Somebody's at the door!" BJ pointed, Skye ran towards the door and put her ear up against it. She turned back to Lydia and Beej.
"Alright, let's make some more people scream!" She clenched onto her pigtails. The three began shushing each other as they opened the door.
"Package for Deetz!?" The a delivery man entered the house, looking around to see Beetlejuice shaking his head in disappointment.
"You know overnight delivery cost extra?" He nudged Lydia on the shoulder. She nodded and huffed, making eye contact with the delivery man.
"What a rip off!" She agreed, crossing her arms. A clone came down and scared the living shit out of the poor man. He just wanted to deliver a package, now he was stuck on the floor in the middle of the living room.
DING DONG
"Oh, okay, okay! SHH!" The door opened for the guy, a pizza guy.
"Delivery for Deetz?" The dude called out for the person he needed. Unfortunately the person he needed was a Deetz, and Lydia was the only Deetz here.
"Hey, what you order?"
"Pepperoni, mushrooms and snakes."
"Snakes?" The pizza guy was confused by that, who the hell would order snakes on a pizza? Then came a clone with a face full of flailing snakes.
Let's just say he ended up right next to the delivery guy.
DING DONG
"Wowie, again?" Skye questioned, "This is a lot of ding-donging for one house."
"Yeah, holy moly. A lot of people come to this house." BJ took a deep breath, "Lights!" he opened the door and hid behind it. The room was dark and it seemed like no one was home, it was completely empty.
"Hello? New neighbors?" An old lady made her way inside of the house. She searched for any sign of people inside at the moment.
"I brought you a pie! It's from the store," She snorted, looking down at her new bought pie. She sighed and went for the door.
"Oh, I dont see anything- AAH!" She screamed in terror once she saw Beeltejuice standing behind her. He laughed and innocently waved.
"Hi there," He cackled once more, this time even louder. He snatched her pie and sent her to the floor with the two other guys.
"Hey Lydia, check this out." He pointed at their three guests. "Dance break~" Lydia snapped her attention towards them and waited for something to happen. BJ snapped his fingers and they all began to tap dance. Skye gasped.
"Wow, they're really good."
"No, you little girl scout whatever your name is."
"Skye."
"Whatever. They're not really good. I'm really good!" He chuckled, sending them each out the door, except for the old lady.
"Lady, you're forgetting something!" He raised the pie in the air, the old lady reached for it.
"My pie!"
"Haha!" Beetlejuice threw it in her face, sending her out the door aswell. He slammed it shut and turned to his audience.
"Yes I hear that sound!" BJ raised a hand to his ear, standing up on the couch.
"Yes we do,"
"That beautiful sound!" Skye took the chair, stomping her foot against it.
"Yes we do,"
"A sound that means," Lydia climbed up onto the table. "No more condescending adults hanging around!"
"Every groan!" BJ sang loud and proud.
"Each wail and each moan!" Skye jumped down from the chair and ran to the middle of the room.
"Adds up to," Lydia smirked. "Daddy's leaving-" She left the table and got right behind Skye. She pulled her into a side hug, her other hand was placed on her hip.
"Me the hell alone!" She let go and put herself in the spotlight. "Hey look at me!" All eyes were on Lydia, smiles filled the room.
"We're looking at you, girl!"
"I'm finally free~" She cooed, clasping her hands together.
"You're finally free, girl!"
"I was invisible," Lydia dramatically put a hand on her forehead as if she were in her own soap opera.
"But now they all see!"
"They're out of my grill!" Lydia fist pumped the air, "Because of that-"
"Shrill Symphony!"
"Ain't it the, sweetest noise around?" The three of them squished together in the center of the room. Looking at each other, faces full of excitement and fulfillment. They were proud of what they did today, even if it meant almost making someone shit their pants. This was so fucking fun!
"That beautiful, sound."
"That sound,"
"Sound!" Lydia projected, looking up at the sky.
"That sound,"
"Sound!" She didn't need her dad, she didn't need Delia. But what she did need was a break from this entire mess and she was finally getting that. She felt free, the wind blowing through her wings. She could soar without anyone holding her down.
"That sound,"
"SOUND!"
"That beautiful sound!" BJ bumped her out of the way, giving her a sly grin.
"That beautiful sound!" She pushed back, laughing as she did so.
"That beautiful sound!" Skye pushed them both out of the way, becoming the center of attention. She grabbed their hands and pulled them towards her.
"Group hug!" She giggled.
"That beautiful sound!"
