Out of Sight, Out of Mind//A Beetlejuice Fanfiction

||Chapter Eighteen|| Found Family Fun

Ping!!! The text Charles had asked Delia to send to Lydia appeared on the teenager's phone and she pulled it out again. But reading it was hard. The Maitlands were piled on top of her again and they were tickling her all over whilst snickering and giggling like crazy. Lydia still did manage to scoot out a little from under the Maitlands and looked down at her phone. The text on it was the address to the New York hospital where they were supposed to meet up with Lydia's dad and Delia. She quickly mouthed it to the Maitlands who quickly mentioned it to Betelgeuse.

He nodded and began to look through the Handbook for the page on how to help ghosts stuck in their house to leave and ghosts and leaving their house if they're stuck in the living world.

The Maitlands went back to goofing around with Lydia, Barbara now tickling the teenager all over and Adam now ruffling her hair like crazy. Lydia was laughing like crazy and had just managed to get out from under the Maitlands. She walked around and catapulted herself on top of Adam, who teleported himself on top of her and sandwiched her in between both him and Barbara.

"H-hey!" said Lydia, bursting into laughter. "No fair!"

"Yes fair!" teased Adam, tickling the teenager like crazy.

Barbara teleported out from under the living-dead pile and reappeared right on top of her husband. "Hah! Now you're sandwiched in between us, Adam, honey. What do you think to that?"

"This!"

Adam teleported out from under Barbara and reappeared on top of her. Lydia scooted out from under her ghostly guardians and went to sit on the sofa, taking out her phone and starting to scroll through it. The Maitlands were now laying face down on the floor side by side and snickering like crazy. They wanted to stay like that, not wanting to get up even when Betelgeuse asked them to join him on the couch.

"Guys, c'mon!" sighed Betelgeuse after about five minutes of the Maitlands just laying there and doing nothing. "Do you want to figure out if you can leave the house if I'm with you or not?"

Barbara bounced up and teleported herself and Adam over to the couch.

"Figures," said Betelgeuse as the Maitlands sat down on either side of him.

"So, anyways...."

"Wait? Betelgeuse? You sure that it's possible for us to be able to leave the house if you're with us?" asked Barbara, looking curiously at the demon.

"I-," he began, but this time, Adam cut him off.

"How long are we able to leave the house if it is possible?"

"As long as you can. Just don't get eaten by any-." Betelgeuse was cut off by pillows being thrown everywhere. Lydia was standing up on a chair and throwing pillows that the Maitlands had summoned for her after she had asked at said ghosts and they were telekinetically depositing pillows on top of the teenager, apparently starting a pillow fight. "Guys? Can you cut that out. Sexy, Babs, do you want me to help you figure out how long you can leave your house?"

"Maybe after this pillow fight, bug," said Barbara, her and Adam chucking pillows at Lydia and the teenager chuckling as she dodged them.

"BEEJ, GIVE ME A BOOST!" shouted Lydia as she grabbed a couple pillows. The Maitlands looked at one another, unsure of what the teenager was planning. Betelgeuse did so and the teenager snickered before chucking the pillows at the Maitlands (who became transparent long enough to have the pillows thrown by Lydia phase right through them). "No fair."

"Yes fair," said the Maitlands at the exact same time, looking at each other and snickering as they started bombarding the teenager with pillow after pillow.

"Guess I'm gonna be in the attic then," Betelgeuse said as he stood up. "When your pillow fight is done, feel free to come join me." The others all nodded, still focused on their pillow fight, and, with that, he teleported up to the attic to wait for the Maitlands and Lydia.
