Y/N grabs a hold of the pole, about to slide down it when their phone rings. They answer it. "Dad, I'm kind of busy right now."
Trevor stops when he notices Y/N wasn't right behind him and looks back up the hole in the floor.
"Yeah, I know. Ghosts are real. Crazy, right? Almost like I tried to tell you this." Y/N sasses back to their dad.
"Y/N!" Trevor yells.
Y/N remembers what they were orignally doing and stops their dad mid sentence. "Yeah, I'm safe. I'm gunna go fight the ghosts. Bye! Love you!" They hang up and slide down the pole.
"Sorry about that."
"You're going to be in so much trouble with your dad." Trevor says with a smile, half joking.
Y/N waves him off. "It's fine. We're about to save the world."

Y/N looks at the brown onesie with the name 'Stantz' on it. "Do I have to wear this?"
Podcast shrugs. "If you don't like this one, there's like eight in here. Venkmen, Zeddemore, another Stantz, another Zeddemore, Spengler." He lists off as he goes through all the similar onesies. "Choose your pick in the name."
"No, I mean, do I have to wear this onesie that smells like sweat and man juice." Y/N says.
"Come on, Y/N. We'll be like the original ghostbusters. Except five!" Podcast pleads.
Y/N sighs and grabs the one that said Stantz.
===
"This is what he's been working on all these years." Phoebe says as everyone gathers around the model of the farm.
"Building the model?" Trevor asks.
"The detail is amazing." Lucky says.
Phoebe sighs and shakes her head. "No, he came here to finish what the original Ghostbusters started."
"To stop Gozer." Y/N starts.
"By trapping them." Lucky says.
Trevor nods. "Out in that dirt field."
"Exactly. These big silos act as a capacitor." Phoebe messes with the farm model and it sparks up, making everyone jump.
"What's a capacitor?" Trevor asks.
"Would it kill you to read?" Phoebe shouts.
"Would it kill you to just tell me?"
"Once activated, these towers can hold a charge for one moment." Phoebe explains. "But in that one moment, they can power hundreds of traps."
"So how do we get Gozer onto the field?" Lucky asks.
"Gozer is protected by two evil spirits-"
Podcast interrupts. "The keymaster and the gatekeeper."
"She needs both of them." Phoebe continues. "No gatekeeper, no Gozer."
"First, these spirits must possess two human souls." Podcast says.
"Like mom." Trevor mentions.
Podcast and Phoebe nod. "So they can unite... formally."
The three teens give confused looks.
"What are we talking about?" Lucky asks.
"Like... marriage?" Y/N says.
"Eh, more like third base." Podcast answers.
Y/N's eyes go wide as they look down at the farm model. "Oh."
Lucky gives a half smile. "Go Mom."
===
The five run into the police station.
Podcast dips his finger in some spilled drink and licks it. "They we're just here."
Y/N runs back into the front room and waves Trevor over. "Car's back this way."
Trevor and Lucky follow Y/N to the Ecto-1. Y/N looks over the buttons to bring the car down and press their lips into a thin line.
"Hey, Luck? Do you know how to do this?"
"Yeah, I got this." She says.
Once it was safe on the ground, Phoebe and Podcast come out with all the proton packs and traps the police confiscated.
Y/N gets in the front seat next to Trevor and looks over at Lucky, who starts the police car she was in. "Are we really about to go save the world?"
Lucky smiles and nods. "Guess so. Meet you there."
Trevor starts the car and drives out of the station, speeding towards the mountain.
===
Y/N quietly opens the door, about to get out of the car when Trevor grabs their hand.
"Hey, uh... be careful. Please."
Y/N's slightly open mouth pulls into a smile. "Of course." They get out, following Phoebe and Podcast, who were hiding behind a rock.
Phoebe, Podcast and Y/N watch as Callie and Gary, both possessed by the Gatekeeper and Keymaster, walk up the stairs carved out of the wall and stand on separate platforms.
"That's my mom." Phoebe says, confused on why her mom was wearing a gold dress.
"Is that... Gary? Your teacher?" Y/N's mouth drops. They look at Phoebe and Podcast to see their reaction of their teacher being the Keymaster.
Bright lightning brings Y/N's attention back to the possessed adults. All three begin to cover their eyes at the dust forming. When they look back, the adults had transformed into some sort of beast.
Y/N give a sarcastic smile. "Fun."
From out of the pit, Gozer begins to rise. Ivo Shandor, gets up from his grave and walks over to it.
"Your eminence. Goddes of gods." Ivo begins. "I have built this temple for you, so that you might return to Earth... and together... we..."
Gozer walks up to him, placing their hands on either side of his head.
"We can rule the world."
Gozer tears Ivo Shandor in half without any remorse. It continues walking up to the steps, stopping to pet the Gatekeeper.
Phoebe walks up to Gozer, Y/N following, ready to jump in front of Phoebe if something happened.
"Excuse me." Phoebe says. "Uh, pardon me." Gozer looks over at the two.
"Hey, Gozer." Y/N says, dragging out the 'y.' "You, um... You're... you're very beautiful. Or if you'd like, very handsome- or even, if you want a gender neutral term since you're... you know, um, you're stunning!"
Gozer looks over Y/N, looking up and down. Y/N presses their lips together, looking to the side.
"Right, uh..."
"So...What do you call a fish with no eyes?" Phoebe says. Gozer says nothing.
"I don't know, Phoebe. What do you call it?" Y/N asks.
"A fshhh." Phoebe answers.
Y/N looks over at Phoebe. "That joke is kind of overused."
"Okay, uh... A whale- So, theres two whales in a bar. One of them goes-" Phoebe mimics a whale noise. "And the other goes: 'Go home. You're drunk.'"
Y/N chuckles a bit, then stops when Gozer sits forward in their chair, standing up.
"Those are some great jokes, Phoebe. Ke-keep 'em coming." Y/N says.
"Okay, yeah, uh.. a grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender's like 'We have a drink named after you.' and the grasshopper is like, 'You have a drink named Steve?!'"
Gozer just continues staring at the two with it's beady eyes. "Have you come to offer yourself in sacrifice?"
"Oh!" Y/N steps forward, trying to get in front of Phoebe a bit. "Yeah, about that. We- we kind of... have something to do later. We can't really sacrifice ourselfs today. Sorry. Want to take a number?"
Gozer just smiles slowly. "Are you prepared to die?"
Phoebe steps out from behind Y/N once she notices the trap in the right postion. "No, we're kids." She pauses as the trap moves up a bit. "Are you?"
Podcast presses the button, opening the trap right below the Gatekeeper. It roars out as it gets tropped. Gozer screams and bends over.
Y/N and Phoebe watch as half of their soul seems to get pulled out and into the trap. Callie gasps as she goes back to her normal self, then falls down the stairs.
"Mom!" Phoebe calls out and runs up to her, Y/N following. They help Callie walk to the car and and then get in next to Trevor, who smiles at them and begins driving back to the farm.
