Norma Khan: Paranormal Detective part two

Y/n's pov
Barney and dad decided to have an argument about the stupidest thing. They both reached for the last nacho at the same time.
"Oh, you have it." Barney said. "No, you have it." Dad sighed. "No. You have it." Barney said a little more sternly. "No, you have it." Dad said, growing frustrated. "Please. I INSIST." Barney insisted. "Just take the lousy nacho, Barney!" Dad yelled.
"Shut the hell up dad!" I just said that in my head, because I choose life.
"Saul, calm down." Mom said.
"No. That's right. I should be more upfront about what I need." He said looking away.
I've never been so confused in my life.
"And what you need... is a nacho?" Patrick asked confusedly. "Couldn't have said it better myself." I muttered.
".... Anyhow, I'm so glad you kids invited us-" "look, you say I can have the nachos, but then I get the nachos, and you start talking about you wish I got the broccoli!" Barney cut off mom and I slumped down in my seat nervously.
"What are you talking about? We let you have the nachos, and the cheese fries, and the mozzarella dip. We let you have everything you want. Some kids don't have half as many nachos as you do!" Dad raged, jumping up.
"Sit down, why don't ya? Your father's right. You could be a little more thankful." Mom said.
That pissed me off. I was gonna jump in, but Barney beat me to it.
"Am I supposed to thank you for everything?! Oh, thank you for the nachos. Oh, thank you for the cheese fries. They're divine. Thanks for giving birth to me!" He yelled, slamming his hands on the table.
"Your welcome! It wasn't easy Yknow!" Mom yelled.
At this point, everyone was yelling at each other.
"Can you guys all cool it?!" Patrick yelled. "Yeah! We can order more nachos!" I said, annoyed and everyone sat down.
"I don't get it. We accepted you." Dad said and I slammed my fist on the table.
"That. Is what parents are supposed to do. Remember that dinner?" I glared.
"W-what dinner?" Mom stuttered nervously and Barney jumped in.
"You know. What dinner. You just let Grammy gram say all that stuff to me, and acted like it wasn't even happening! Y/n was the only one who stuck up for me!" He said.
"Oh, honey buns. We all know Grammy grams is different. Does it matter what she says?" Mom asked.
"Uh, yeah! And what's worse is you didn't even stick up for me!" He argued. "She wouldn't understand." "You don't understand!" Barney yelled as he jumped up, knocking a tray out of a waiter's hand.
"Sir, if you're gonna do that again, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." The waiter said in a really fake western accent.
"But everyone else was doing it." Dad said, confused. "They're actors." The waitress glared.
"Well that's just confusing!" Dad glared back. "Yeah, you're setting a bad example!" "Agreed." Dad agreed.
I smiled, thinking they were finally getting along... but they just glared at each other and looked away.

2nd person pov
"Barney! Y/n" you heard a familiar voice call and you looked up to see Norma and Badyah burst through the doors.
"Hey guys!" You waved as they walked over.
"Guys, we found-" "excuse me, we're having a family discussion." Your mom glared.
"Oh! Sorry, we didn't mean-" "so are we." Barney said sternly.
Your mom sighed as she set a tip on the table.
"Come along Patrick." She sighed as they started to leave.
You jumped up.
"I apologize we ran away and didn't tell you. It wasn't right." You apologized.
"Then come home." Your mother pleaded and you looked over at your brother.
"You've... you've gotta make it one first." He said and they were silent, then walked away.
"You guys ok?" Norma asked. "We're fine." Barney answered. "So, what's the scoop? Gimme the deets." You said, tryna be funny, and managed to get a laugh out of a few of your friends.

"So, after a very thorough and extensive investigation, I think it's obvious the culprit is none other than Pauline's ex stunt double, Barborah!" Norma concluded. (It deadass just autocorrected barborah to Barbara 💀)
"Norma. Really?" You said disappointedly. "Well who else could it be?" She asked. "Pauline!" You all said in unison. "What?!" She was taken aback.
"She's tracking everyone's movements." Barney said. "All the victims are her lookalikes." Courtney pointed out. "She has access to the whole park." Pugsley added. "She's a rich white lady, and they can be the worst." Badyah slammed her fists on the table.
"It's obviously Pauline, so case closed." You kicked your feet back.
"No, case not closed because Jennifer Swan is still missing!" Norma argued.
"Uh, are you sure?" Badyah asked as she pointed to Jennifer walking onto the stage.
"Jennifer? Jennifer Swan?" Norma said in shock.
"Uh, well honey, 'round here they call me Pauline. You want an autograph?" She asked. "What I'd like is an explanation, Jennifer Swan." Norma said as she climbed onto the stage. "Uh, have we met?" Jennifer chuckled nervously.
"Yes! In the in between! Who took you? *gasp* was it barborah?" Norma asked. "I-I can't say! She told me not to! A-and I never would anyway!" Jennifer said. The poor girl was terrified.
"Who said that?" Norma asked.
"That's it!" The waiter from earlier said as he pointed towards the door.
"Huh? Oh." Norma sighed as she got down from the stage and sadly walked towards the door.
"Norma? You ok?" Badyah asked.
"I need to be alone." She started to go out the doors but stopped.
"For what it's worth, you make a pretty good detective." She smiled. "And you make a pretty good sidekick." Badyah smiled back as she walked out.
You noticed a tablet next to you in the seat. It was Norma's. You tapped Barney's shoulder. You both nodded to each other and went after her.
After awhile of searching, you saw her sitting near one of the rides. You both walked over and sat down next to her.
"Hey. You ok?" Barney asked. "Nope. You?" "Ha. Nope." Barney answered.
"You left this." You handed the tablet to her.
"At least we can draw a line under the whole Jennifer thing. No one's missing after all. Funny how the things we're looking for are right in front of us." Barney chuckled half heartedly.
"Wait." Norma stared off into the distance, but didn't do anything.
"Um, is she ok?" Barney whispered. "I... think she's having a flashback?" You guessed.
"The museum." Norma said as she jumped up and started running.
"The museum?" "Wait, what's at the museum?" You and Barney yelled as you ran after her.
She burst threw the museum doors and revealed a mad woman destroying the Pauline statue. And you knew this woman.
"The custodian." You and Barney said in sync.
"Why don't you call her by her real name. Barborah!" Norma declared.
"Thank you! Everybody calls me Barbara." Barborah rolled her eyes.
"You and Pauline used to be inseparable, but you fell out filming some tv ad. You used to be her friend, but ever since you fell out shooting that tv ad, you've tried to take Pauline down." Norma accused.
"Oh, you don't know Pauline. I spent years searching for that stupid ad to prove who she really is. It's hidden here somewhere, and I'm gonna find it. And I'm letting you kids get in my way!"
Suddenly you noticed pugsley standing in front of the tv which was static.
"Pugsley?" Barney called as he held his paw up to the tv and an old black and white commercial appeared on the screen.
"Yes. After all these years. Finally, everyone can see the truth!" Barborah smiled as you all walked over.
Suddenly, the tv cut off, all the doors closed, and all the lights burst.
You all looked up to see... Pauline? But she was... Something was not right. She was translucent and glowing green.
"Hello my darlings!" She grinned.
"Pauline?" Norma said in shock. "In the flesh! Well, kind of. Sore subject actually." she checked her nails
"So, you finally show your true colors!" Barborah glared. "Green is NOT my color. And I can't let anyone see that unfortunate footage." She looked down and noticed pugsley pressing his paw against the screen.
"I said DONT TOUCH IT!!!!" She yelled as she shot a laser from her hand.
You jumped in front of your friends to shield them, but Barborah jumped in front of you and got zapped.
"Leave- those kids... alone!" She strained. "Outta my way!" Pauline said as she used her powers to throw Barborah against the ceiling. "What a stunt! You've still got it, Barb." Pauline said as Norma shook her head in shock and disbelief and tears welled up in her eyes. Poor girl, but you know what they say, never meet your heroes.
You and Barney looked over to see pugsley being slowly sucked into the tv. Barney ran over and grabbed pugsley and you grabbed Barney's shoulders and began pulling.
Courtney suddenly appeared.
"Hey! You all left me behind to pay the restaurant tab!" She whined. "I'm surprised you actually have money." You muttered.
"Courtney, NOT NOW!" Barney yelled and she crossed her arms pouting. She looked up and noticed Pauline.
"Woah. Cool!" She grinned.
You were fully sucked into the tv except your arm. You held on by the corner of the tv and reached out for anything to pull yourself out, but only ended up pulling Courtney in too.
Barborah began laughing.
"What's so funny?" Pauline glared. "Your too late!" Barborah laughed and Pauline looked over to see all of you except Norma were in the tv.
"You. You were just buying time!" Pauline said angrily as she dropped Barborah and flew towards Norma, roaring in anger.
"RUN!" Barborah screamed.
Norma watched, heartbroken, as her hero flew towards her to end her life.
She squeezed her eyes shut and forced herself to run and jump into the tv. Pauline tried to follow her in but the tv cut off before she could.
"No! NOOOO!" She roared in anger.

Holy shit that took me the whole day to finish! Finally!
