Beetlejuice and the Birthday Ghoul

Chapter 26: The Prom Queen Plot

The air at Peaceful Pines High School buzzed with anticipation as the prom season approached. Claire Brewster, fueled by her desire for popularity, threw herself into the campaign for prom queen. The news of her victory spread like wildfire, and she couldn't resist rubbing it in Lydia and Carol's faces.

In the hallway, Claire flaunted her newly acquired crown, casting smug glances at Lydia and Carol. The duo, though accustomed to Claire's antics, exchanged knowing glances. Carol, with her chaotic charm, decided it was time to turn the tables.

Later that day, as Lydia and Carol gathered in Carol's room, a mischievous grin played on Carol's face. She pulled out a familiar book from her shelf—the classic horror novel "Carrie" by Stephen King.

Lydia, understanding Carol's unspoken plan, raised an eyebrow. "You're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?"

Carol, with a wicked gleam in her eyes, replied, "Oh, Lydia, you know me so well. It's time for a little prom night chaos, Beetlejuice style."

Beetlejuice, overhearing the conversation, materialized in the room, a swirl of black and white stripes forming his iconic appearance. "Did someone say chaos? I'm in!"

The trio huddled together, devising a plan to give Claire a taste of her own medicine. Beetlejuice, ever the master of disguise, transformed into a striped bucket of tomato sauce, complete with garlic bulbs dangling from his sides.

Lydia, barely containing her laughter, asked, "A bucket of tomato sauce? Seriously?"

Carol grinned, "Trust me, this is gonna be legendary. Now, Lydia, you're gonna be our eyes and ears at the prom. Beetlejuice and I will handle the rest."

Prom night arrived, and the school gym transformed into a scene of glitz and glamour. Claire, reveling in her prom queen glory, danced with her court, confident that nothing could ruin her night.

Little did she know, Lydia, armed with her camera, discreetly observed the events unfold. Beetlejuice, disguised as a bucket of tomato sauce, hovered near the refreshment table, blending in with the decorations.

As the crowning moment approached, Beetlejuice unleashed his chaotic surprise. The striped bucket of tomato sauce erupted, drenching Claire in a cascade of red liquid and garlic bulbs. Gasps and shocked whispers filled the room as the unexpected spectacle unfolded.

Lydia, capturing the moment on camera, couldn't contain her laughter. Carol, watching from a distance, flashed her trademark chaotic grin. Claire, now a vision of tomato-sauce-covered dismay, stood frozen in shock.

Beetlejuice, reveling in the chaos he had unleashed, floated towards the dance floor. "Prom night just got saucy, folks! Bon appétit!"

The unexpected turn of events left the entire prom in a mix of shock, confusion, and amusement. The trio, Lydia, Carol, and Beetlejuice, shared a moment of victorious laughter as they watched Claire's carefully crafted prom queen night turn into a tomato-sauce-infused spectacle.

And so, amidst the chaos and laughter, Carol and her unconventional team celebrated a prom night victory that would be remembered for years to come. Claire Brewster, the once smug prom queen, learned that in the world of chaos, unexpected twists could turn the tables in the most amusing ways.
