(Based on the movie:Beetlejuice from 1988)

"Say hello to our new home."

I dropped my bags and stared at inside the old house some part of the walls were chipped due to the old wood and paint, some old pictures were hanging on the walls, the couch and many furniture were dusty. I looked down at the carpet floor and it was dirty, "Should we really stay here?"

My father entered once again the house with the last bags "Of course!" i roamed around the house and my mother was beginning to clean the place up with a broom. This house must've been abandoned for a couple of months or years.

"Who even owned this place?" i ask either of them.

"A couple with their daughter, that's what the lady who sold us the house said." my mother answers this time. "Umm alright i'll head upstairs and check the rooms." i tell them both and hurried my way up. I began checking the rooms and left my bags in a small one when a door creaked behind me and when I turned back i saw it wide open.

"Hello?" carefully and quietly i make it towards the door and peeked my head up to see if someone was up, no one was there. Quickly i shut the door and stepped away and walked back down to help my parents.

"Tomorrow we'll continue cleaning the place up-" my mother rambled on to her husband as i quietly ate my food thinking if this house has some secrets, most old houses have their own stories and there's no doubt this one has one. Before we arrived to this small town I stumbled upon a few documents about this old home and a couple of weird things have happened from the few people who arrived.

A supposed man name Otto spoke up about this place, some believed and some called him crazy after they had a weird dinner encounter with a suppose ghost and the previous owners of the house before they died. Tonight even though i'm tired i'm gonna plan on staying up and search the place around..

"(Y/N) have you been listening to me?" i raised my head and saw my mother with an annoyed expression on her face and my dad continuing to eat.

"Sorry no..I have some things to unpack so i'll be going to my room." i excused myself and left the dining room and into my own, my room was painted a deep shade of purple, it had two drawers one black and white, near my bed there was a table with a large mirror on it, that's a bit creepy.

The lights on the ceiling won't work so i only have my lamp on and when i turned to check the mirror again i could've sworn i saw a shadow. I heard my parents go to their room so i stayed put and had my eyes open for any event.

********************

I was sleeping soundly when i heard a loud crash outside my room and I sat up "Who the hell is there?!" i grabbed the nearest object from me which was a bat and quietly stepped out, i checked down my feet and couldn't see them since all of the sudden fog started coming from the door leading upstairs.

The door opened wide and I swallowed hard ready to confront what might be up, i gripped the bat in my hands as i slowly made it up and when i did i saw a couch covered up in blankets, a few spiderwebs here and there and what caught my attention was the town, someone must've built it on this table.

"Whoa that's amazing." i whisper admiring the small features.

"Hey you there!" someone shouted and i let out a small scream and backed up against the wall.

"Who t-talked?" I looked around me like an idiot.

"Come closer,kid i ain't gonna bite." i leaned over and saw a small man? what the heck is that even possible to be so small and live in this? I fully stepped out and leaned closer to indeed see a weird man.

"H-Hello?"

"What's your name kid?" i tried my best to not scream again, i rubbed my eyes a couple of times and blinked to see it was real. "My n-name is (Y/N)." i stutter "Is this even real?"

"What?! You callin this fake?" he asks standing up and staring up at me rather annoyed now and a bit angry.

"I've just never seen someone so small?"

"You're as naive as Lydia."

"Who?"

"Never mind! Listen kid I need to get out." we stare at each other and he gets what i'm trying to say by my expression, "Right you don't even know my name, ya know charades?" the much smaller man asks me. I only nod my head and he begins to make me guess what he's guessing till apparently I got it right.

"Beetlejuice?"

"Exactly!" he exclaims and hops up from the tombstone he was sitting on. "Say it two more times!" i take a step back and begin to wonder why he would come out here? "I don't think I should."

"Come on kid! You look like a nice girl, name anything and i'll make it true!" i raise my eyebrow and see he man beginning to get annoyed by my behavior, so without telling him goodbye I left cause I heard my Dad calling for me.

*****************

Few days went by and my mind was clouded by the thoughts of that strange man in the attic. I heard from my parents that my mother's sister and nieces and nephews were to come in a few hours, which was going to be hell considering I despise them. They always make fun of the way I dress and the way I think of certain things.

I took a deep breathe and prepared myself as the door flew open and I had to greet everyone. They began to talk about numerous of things while talking behind my back so I decided to head back to the attic.

"About damn time kid!" i heard a voice as I fully came into view of the small town resting on the table. "Sorry." i muttered which must've caught him my attention. I visited him occasionally so he knew it wasn't like me to be this quiet.

"What's on your mind?"

My eyes wander over to him and I see him in a black and white stripped suit, "Nothing important..my mother's family arrived and we don't exactly get along."

"Hey,look the freak is talking to herself again."

I looked over my shoulder and saw all of them making funny faces and one of them almost threw a vase on my head if it weren't for me ducking. Once they did that they all ran and I touched my cheek to see that I had a small cut with a bit of blood coming out.

"Alright that's it."

"Huh?"

I look down to see Beetlejuice looking up at me with a concerned expression? "There's one thing i've always hated and that's people who treat others like garbage, I mean look in this dumb i'm living and I have to do everything they say or they'll keep me locked up forever for some stupid thing I did years ago!" he began to ramble on but I got what he meant to say.

"Tell ya what kid. You say my name i'll get those bratty beasts out of here and if you don't like it you can just send me back here."

I began to think hard about it but said my answer within a second when I heard those brats in my own, "Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice,Beetlejuice!"

"It's showtime."

I ran out of the room and when I did I saw a snake like creature running chasing the kids, then my family including my parents. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw their scared faces, they all ran out of the house and Beetlejuice went back to his human form, bowing to an invisible crowd.

"Thank you,thank you, i'll be here all night." he says lighting up a cigarette.

"That was really fun." I tell him and blush when he looks over to me.

"I can do many fun thing's,with me here you'll never get bored!"

This man is weird but in a good way. "It's strange seeing you like this." i admit while scratching my arm nervously.

"Hmm? Oh, you mean my true height. Yeah, I was kinds trapped back there, but don't worry kid, I won't harm ya in anyway or my head will be at the stake." he quickly explains to me. This way I can appreciate his appearance even more.

"I think i'll get used to you being here then."

Beetlejuice stares at me as he raises an eyebrow, "Aren't ya scared,disgusted by my appearance?" i shake my head to the sides and this answer must've gotten to Beetlejuice cause he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"Don't ya worry babe, with me we'll have plenty of fun."
