GHOSTBUSTERS

Delilah was in a hurry to get to school, peddling as fast as she can, it was her favorite time of the year, halloween.

"I wonder if mike and everyone else dressed up" Delilah says while reaching the school.

She parks her bike where all the other kids keep their bikes.

"Lilah!" Mike yells as he's waving his hand to signaling her to come over to where the boys were.

Delilah smiles and walks over to the boys and noticed them dressed up in ghostbuster outfits.

"Why aren't you dressed up?" Will questioned Delilah while looking at her with her mom jeans and a green crop top hoodie.

"Uhh because I'm not gonna be dressing until later" Delilah says while looking at the boys costumes.

"No-"

Mike says while walking up to Lucas, "woah, woah, woah. Why are you Venkman?" He finger points Lucas.

"Because I'm Venkman?" Lucas said in a 'duh' type tone.

"No, I'm Venkman" mike points to his own name tag.

"Why can't there just be two Venkman's?" Delilah asks.

"There's only one Venkman in real life. Guys we planned this months ago," mike explains. "I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stantz, Will's Egon, and Delilah was supposed to be Dana Barret-" Mike looks at her up and down "-and you're Winston."

She scrunches her face and Lucas starts to get defensive. "I didn't specifically specify to be Winston and Delilah didn't specifically agree to Dana."

Delilah gets near Lucas, "I'm on his side."

"No," Mike raised his voice a bit. "There are no sides. We already agreed."

"I'm not sure they did Mike" will says while trying to break up the argument.

"No one wants to be Winston man" Lucas puts his hand on his face, Dustin with him.

"What's wrong with Winston?!" Mike looks personally attacked.

"What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super late, he's not even funny, and he's not even a scientist!" Lucas exclaims out of frustration.

"Yeah, but he's still cool" Mike shrugs, like nothing happened.

"If he's so cool, why don't you be Winston?"
