The Saga of Penny
Description: Lydia in college... A new girl in town.. What's Beej to do, but harass the newcomer! And all of this has to do with Donny somehow…
Notes: Alright, alright, sorry I couldn't post the next chappie earlier than this; Here's the first chapter... Please don't sick BJ on me...
Chapter 1: Profanities and Short Tempers
Penny arrived at Raven Grove, and as she stepped forward into the student center, it seemed like everything would be alright.. It looked like a very, very nice university where she would be able to blend in very nicely. It was a nicely, dark school with an almost gothic-like feel to it, and with people that, for the most part, she would be comfortable . Almost everyone enjoyed the surrounding, and the park, dorms, and serorities around the school reflected what the feel of the school. It looked like college life would be a blast...
Well, almost... She had forgotten the reason why her mother "magically" enrolled her here. It was a place that was run by the president of the school, Mr. Miles Edgar, a friend of her father... A real Edgar Allen Poe fan, a really classy guy, and the guy that you would never expect to have run-ins with ghosts and what not... after all, he used to be a ghost hunter until Penny's grand-pa showed him the error of his ways... It seemed like she never could get away from family acquaintances, and with Mr. Edgar and her mother constantly being around, her days in college life would be the pitts.
And then, things got a little, to say the least, embarrassing...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DIDN'T GET THE FINAL BID ON THE HOUSE! YOU IMBECILIC, INGRATE SON OF A ..." Cecile Brewster shouted into her cell-phone to the dismay of many students in the student center who were trying to get through the registration process without any trouble... only to hear profane language from an short-tempered parent, whose look of anger struck fear in every young freshman's heart...
"I SPENT 500,000 DOLLARS OUT OF MY OWN POCKET THAT YOU TOLD ME TO BE ABLE TO GET THE HOUSE, ONLY FOR YOU TO TELL ME THAT I GOT OUTBIDDED...
It was only a few minutes after this that Penny finally snapped out of her mental abyss, only to find her mother was causing many students faces to blush, and many parents covering their young children's ears. "MOTHER, PEOPLE ARE STARING... PLEASE TAKE YOUR RANTING OUTSIDE... PLEASE..." Penny shouted, causing her mother to cease her shouting momentarily, and all the faculty and parents in the room to round out in applause... at least till the real estate agent on the other line caused her mother to yell at him some more again with much more profanity than before...
"Dad, don't worry about things... As soon as I get settled in, I'll give both of you a call on when I can move my dresser into my dorm room..." Lydia Deetz explained to her father, who at the moment, was getting teary-eyed as he realized that his little girl was again growing up...
"And, don't worry, Mr. Deetz. Since I've got that new position in the area, I'll be able to stop by and look in on your daughter from time to time... and give you a call if anything happens..." Mr. Beetleman said, with what little compassion he could muster. And, with the look on his face, it was absolutely torture to be so nice...
"Lydia, you're growing up so fast... sooner or later, you'll probably be married... and I'll never see you again..." Charles said, as he burst into another fit of sobs on Lydia's shoulder, as "Mr. Beetleman" was trying desperately hard not to "juice" Lydia's unsuspecting father... until his prospects got better...
"Do you hear that?" Mr. Beetleman asked, as he suddenly noticed there was a giant gust of wind in the building, when there shouldn't be...
"Hear what?" Charles asked, looking the other way, as Mr. Beetleman motioned to Lydia that something paranormal was going on...
"Umm, Dad, it looks like Delia is waiting outside for you.." Lydia said, quickly giving her father a giant hug, as she was motioning Mr. Beetleman to open the door, as her father had a clear view of Delia waiting in the car, with a very angry look on her face... "Don't worry, I'll give you a call in my dorm later tonight at 7 like I promised... Gotta register before they close Dad. Love ya Dad, bye."
"Bye Lydia..." Charles said, as his daughter, with Mr. Beetleman in tow, rushed into the large crowd, and Charles, none the wiser, as he thought it best to get back home...
He failed to notice however, that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going, and he ran right into someone's extended arm...
"Bastian, what took you so long? I've been trying to calm Mom down for almost an hour..." Penny snapped, as she felt a familiar presense enter the room...
A blue-skinned, black-haired, violet eyed poltergeist emerged from out of nowhere and grasped the situation, as apparently he had just almost finished a piece of supreme pizza with anchoves and was currently holding a martini...
"You called me out of the Neitherworld for this? Couldn't you have at least summoned me for something much more important?" Sebastian sarcastically remarked, his New York accent clearly distinct in his tone of voice. He snapped his fingers, causing Penny's mother voice to be muted, and caused Penny's mother to stomp out in a furious rage.
"You are my guardian after all, Bastian... You're supposed to make for sure I don't use my powers in front of normal folk, protect me from demons that are trying to take over the world, teach me to define and develop my abilities, among other things... " Penny remarked, getting very annoyed at this time."And, what qualifies as being important on your list, Bastian?"
"For starters, letting me finish my food before you summon me to the Outerworld... Secondly, to make for sure you don't end up an old maid..."
"BASTIAN! What have I told you about that?"
"Don't butt into your personal life... Yea, yea, rules of the Reaper... Got it... Still, Pen, you need to loosen up... Ever since that spout with Damion..."
Sebastian looked at his charge, only to find that Penny was trying to keep her composure, because her fingers was about two inches from his throat..."How dare you..." Penny snarled..."You know what happened... How could you dare speak his name in front of me? After all, don't you know that if you use his name two more times that he'll appear?"
"And, what are you afraid of, if he does Pen? It's not like he can't come into the Outerworld as he please... For all you know he could be over there spying on you..."Sebastian replied, extending his arm out, failing to register that anyone was walking that direction until...
THUD! Something connected with his arm...
Sebastian looked up to see a pale complexioned black-haired beauty running to the aid of her friend. He looked at the guy that connected with his arm... only to realize that he knew that face from somewhere, but where was it?
"Beej, you Ok?" Lydia asked, oblivious to the other few people that were standing there.
"Yea, if it wasn't for this brick for brains here, my brain wouldn't be mush right now..." Beetlejuice replied as he stood up staggardly, only to jump behind Lydia ashe could plainly see the guy he ran into didn't particularly like his comment too much...
It took much of Penny's strength to keep Bastian from beating this strangers face in...It also didn't help that when she looked up at his face, that his face reminded her so much of Damion's face.
His next comment didn't help neither, as apparently the guy finally noticed she was there... "Hey lady, did anyone tell you you're kinda cute when you're mad?"
The comment kinda embarassed her temporarily, until it snapped her mind-set on what she was trying to focus on earlier... Well, she'd think of a better response later... Right now, she had something else to concern herself with. Besides, the angry look from his friend on that comment completely made up for the lack of a response.
"Bastian... Come off it... Leave him be for now..." Penny angrily replied, temporarily calming her rash friend down... "We have something else that we have to focus our attentions on..."
"Like what?"
"Like, helping me move stuff into my dorm room, or did you forget what I told you yesterday?"
"For ghoul's sake, that was today? Well, I have much more important things planned..."
"No matter, you're coming with me whether youlike it or not..." Penny said, grabbing Bastian's ear and dragging him out of the building, and caused Bastian to be a very disgruntled ghost.
He looked at Lydia, who was by now, very disgruntled due to the fact that Beetlejuice had completely ignored her for the zillionth time this week... and that she still had registration information to get done...
"So... You said you needed help with registration, Lyds?"
Her six-foot-under glare and walk towards the registration tables gave him a clear response to his own question.
"Ok, Ok, Wait Up, Lyds! I'm coming..." Beetlejuice said, taking a moment to glance back at the weakening forms of the two new people he met today..
Yep, Beetlejuice thought. Things are going to change... He thought, oblivious to the fact that his thoughts would one day ring true.
