The scientist quietly packed the lab as the others left the building. Being sued by the state took a number on the Ghostbusters. They used up all the money to pay for the damages that Gozer created on Dana's apartment. Egon Spengler closed the last box shut and sat down on the floor. Starting over was and will be a challenge for him.

If the city of New York appreciated what the Ghostbusters did for them, then they wouldn't be in this mess. The man removed his glasses and rubbed his tired eyes. He leaned back against the wall and rested his head against it. He might as well go back to the school if they let him. Egon sighed through his nose and closed his eyes, hearing the silence echo against his ears. Unknowingly, Egon Spengler drifted into slumber.

Dreamworld:

The Ghostbuster Facility was back. All the equipment is sitting on the table; a smoking trap is on the table. Egon stood next to it in confusion. The Ghostbusters are standing by his side, staring down at the web, "That was an interesting catch, right, Egon?" Ray asks his hands on his sides. Winston shook his head, "That was one nasty bugger."

 Peter chuckles, "How are you going to study it, Egon? I mean, with Y/N trapped as a Class 5, and her friend, Y/F/N, shaking like a rag doll over there," Peter points to a young girl sitting next to Janine on the couch, "What are you going to do?" Puzzled by their statements, Egon gazes at them, "What?"

Ray rests his hand on the scientist's shoulder, "There has to be a way to free her from the ghost. I'm sure that together we can find an answer." Egon's mind buzzed in confusion, "Who is Y/N?" The scientist couldn't wrap his mind around this girl and ghost, "We broke the Ghostbusters team remember?"

Peter frowns at the lean man, "Egon, are you alright? How can you forget about your girl?"

My girl?

Egon's heart sped up in fright. The girl next to Janine stood up and crossed her arms, "Yeah, you and Y/N have been liking each other for a few weeks, remember?"

Egon paled and slowly shook his head. Then, the ghost trap begins shaking, and a muffled scream is heard from the box. The Ghostbusters watched in anticipation, and the girl sadly stared at the web, "You need to save her, Egon..."

Egon glanced at her, then the box. The scream echoes off the walls, and a feminine voice is heard, "Egon!" She screeched. Her voice sounded strained and in anguish. The girl cried out his name before the trap shook roughly. As if it couldn't get any worse, it fell off the table and burst open. Jumping back, Egon Spengler watched as a black mass formed, revealing a young woman with h/c shoulder-length hair. She opens her eyes, her e/c eyes glowing red.

"Wake up..." She hissed.

Egon stared at the beautiful girl in confusion, "What?"

"WAKE UP!"

End of Dream

Egon gasps, his eyes snapped open, and his heart racing. Egon shakingly stood up and leaned against a stack of boxes. Egon was disturbed to find out whatever that dream was or what it meant. Taking a deep, shaky breath, Egon brushes his shirt and pants, removing dust from himself. He doesn't have time to think about that anomalous dream. He has to move on from it. Grabbing his coat, Egon Spengler strode out of the lab and out the door. Taking one last look at the building, he gazed up at the Ghostbuster sign one last time.

At least, the last time for now.
