"Thank you for giving me the Janine character."

Y/N POV:

"Y/N, you look amazing!" exclaimed my big sister, Y/S/N, adjusting my wig. "Such a throwback vibe, I love it!"

"Thanks!" I beamed, twirling around to show off the full ensemble. "What do you think, Mom and Dad?"

Mom and Dad exchanged proud smiles. "You're the spitting image of Janine, sweetheart," Dad remarked, capturing the moment with his Polaroid camera.

"Absolutely!" agreed Mom, snapping a picture of me from a different angle. "This costume is perfect. You're ready to join the Ghostbusters team!"

I struck a pose, channeling my inner Janine as my family continued to snap candid shots.

After a series of photos, Y/S/N spoke up, "Alright, let's get a family photo with our very own Janine Melnitz!"

The family gathered around me, creating a tight-knit group. As we posed, each with our own camera in hand, Y/S/N counted down, "Three... two... one!"

The cameras clicked simultaneously, capturing the joy and enthusiasm of the moment.

Leaving home, I joined Arlo, who was dressed as a ghost. As we rode together, we bumped into Dustin, Mike, and Lucas. Arriving at the school, we parked our bikes and sang the Ghostbusters theme.

"Who you gonna call?" We chorused.

"Ghostbusters!" exclaimed Will, suddenly joining us from behind.

"Hey, Spengler!" Mike greeted as we all walked toward Will.

"Egon!" Lucas exclaimed, hugging Will.

"Venkmen!" Will said to Lucas.

"Whoa! Whoa!" Mike interrupted, examining Lucas's costume.

"What?" Lucas questioned pulling away from Will.

"Why are you Venkman?" Mike asked Lucas.

"Because I'm Venkman," Lucas replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"No, I'm Venkman!" Mike argued, pointing at the name tag on his costume.

"Why can't there just be two Venkmans?" Arlo suggested.

"Because we planned this out months ago! I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stantz, Will's Egon, Y/N's Janine, Arlo's ghost, and you're Winston," Mike explained, getting annoyed.

"I specifically didn't agree to Winston," Lucas argued.

"Yes, you did!" Mike retorted.

"I don't think he did," I said to Mike.
