Leah was currently putting a pink sweater on. They boys were being the ghost busters for Halloween and she was the secretary.

"Will?" Leah heard Joyce call from the hallway. Stepping out of her room she saw a frantic look on Joyce's face. "Leah have you seen Will?"

"No, sorry."

"Jonathan?"

Leah followed Joyce into the kitchen.

"Yeah? What?"

"Where's Will?"

"He's not in his room?"

"No. Uh..."

Leah sat down at the table starting on her breakfast. She could hear Joyce talking to someone and assumed that she had found Will.

A couple minutes later Joyce was zipping Will's ghostbusters suit.

"Let's get this... on." Joyce grunted. "Oh! You need some tape. Hold on."

"Do I look like Annie Potts?" Leah asked smoothing her skirt.

"Yeah! This group costume is genius!" Will said excitedly.

"What's this?" Joyce asks holding up one of Wills drawings.

"Nothing."

"Did you have another episode?"

"No, it's just, umm... a sketch for a story I'm writing."

"Alright." Joyce sighed putting the drawing back down.

"Three, two, one..." Jonathan said taking the kids picture. Leah stepped aside letting Will get some shots by himself. "Great. Hold up the proton blaster. All right, now turn to the light."

Will and Leah walked up behind the boys who had just put their bikes on the bike rack.

"Who you gonna call?" Will sang.

"Hey, Spengler!"

"Egon! Yeah!"

"Leah you look... good." Lucas said.

"Thank you." She said blushing.

"Venkman!"

"Whoa! Whoa!" Mike said.

"What?"

"Why are you Venkman?" Mike asked.

"Because I'm Venkman." Lucas said.

"No, I'm Venkman."

"Why can't there be two Venkmans?" Will tried to reason.

"Because there's only one Venkman in real life. We planned this months ago. I'm Venkman, Dustins Stantz, you're Egon, Leah is Annie, and you're Winston."

"I specifically didn't agree to Winston."

"Yes, you did!"

"I don't think he did." Will said.

"No one wants to be Winston, man." Lucas explained.

"What's wrong with Winston?" Mike asks.

"What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super late, he's not funny, and he's not even a scientist!"

"Yeah, but he's still cool."

"If he's cool, then you be Winston."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"Because..." Mike stuttered.

"Because you're not not black?" Lucas shot back.
