Just the Way you Are

Ghostly Possession (Extended)

This was actually pretty fun to write! Enjoy this extended version!

OPS

'Hey you 2, I really need to talk to you both.' Granger asked.

'Ask away.' Eric and Nell both said.

'What do you do when your wife has been possessed by a ghost?'

Awkward silence

'Umm, explain.' Eric said.

'Hetty and I were investigating a haunted house. We were poking around, and she opened this urn, and this pink mist came out and knocked her out. When she came to, she gave me this goofy look, started speaking in a French accent, and, started taking her pants off! And kept asking me to 'boogie' with her. It was very un-Hetty like, and it took a while to get a sedative through her. I took her home, chained her to a wall in the basement. And I need help.' Granger said.

1 minute later

'Describe that ghost again.' Eric said.

'Likes to show her legs and underwear, French accent, kept wanting me to 'boogie'.'

'We think we know who you're talking about.' Nell said.

Type type type

'Miss Boogie. Legendary French dancer in the 1830's. Loved to dance with her legs fully exposed, and loved to boogie. Legend has it she was 'possessed' to dance, and legend also has it, she danced herself to death, and before that she broke both her legs.' Eric said.

'So, the ghost inside of her, will eventually break her legs and eventually kill her if we don't get it out of her. Nice to know. Do you 2 know of a way to get the ghost out of her?' Granger asked.

'Yes we do!'

'Please don't say ghost sucking vacuums.' Granger thought.

'We have ghost sucking equipment!' They both said.

'Of course they do.' He thought, sarcastically.

Hetty's house, the basement

'Why do I have to do this again?'

'Because if the ghost isn't distracted, she'll overpower us and we won't be able to get her into this vacuum. Just dance with her long enough for us to catch her.' Eric said.

'Okay. And if you tell anyone about what I'm going to do, I will make you both regret it.'

'Duly noted.' Nell said.

Granger unchained Hetty from the wall, and boogied with her ghost.

'Whoa. He's really good!' Eric said.

'Focus Beale. Here's our chance!'

The wonder twins swooped in and sucked Miss Boogie into the vacuum.

'We got it!'

'Hetty! Hetty, you okay?!' Granger exclaimed.

'Groan. Wha, what happened? And why do my legs feel so cold?' Hetty asked.

(Laughs), 'It's a long story, sweetie. But I'm glad you're okay.'

'Whoa. I've got to stop eating right before going to bed.' Granger thought.

'Hmm? Have another strange dream? Because you were moving around a lot. I, woke up a few times.' Hetty said.

Granger chuckled, 'I'll tell you later.'

Later on

Granger told Hetty about his dream. She looked really surprised by it, and kind of disgusted.

'You want to know how I think of this?' She asked.

'If you want to say something, say it.' He responded.

'That the next time you dream of me being possessed by a ghost, can't it be a ghost that loves tea instead of one that likes to dance while scantly dressed? it's, morbid.'

In a teasing voice: 'Aw come on, I'm sure you've dreamed of me being naked before and thought it was fine!'

'That has nothing to do with this! And those dreams are none of your business.'

'Whatever you say.' (chuckles).

'Men are so weird sometimes.' Hetty thought.

'Just 1 question: There's not actually chains in the basement, is there?' Granger asked.

'Actually there are, you see. That basement used to be a sex dungeon back before I bought this place. I kept the chains because I liked them.

Granger had a feeling she was just joking. But it didn't stop him from checking the basement for chains.

'I was joking, silly! There are no chains down here.'

Looking slightly embarrassed. 'Yeah. Yeah I knew that. Just making sure.'
