Reincarnated -Beetlejuice Fanfic-

1: The Accident

(Graphic edit art made by me. :))

It was a rainy day out in Winter River and Lydia Deetz was out running errands out in town, getting thing's for dinner and flowers from the local flower shop. She thanks the shop owner and jumps in her car, backing out of her parking spot and heading towards home finally, she sighs wondering if she should cook the steak or chicken tonight, and if she should do any house chores. Suddenly a drunk driver comes flying around the corner and hits her car hard flipping it over a few times before it lands upright against a side of a pole. Smoke is pours from the engine

Lydia's in a bad state, her arms broken and so is a part of her neck and a bd headwound. She just barely is hanging on when she starts to see something like a light and then she's gone.

Beetlejuice was sitting at his desk on his little podium watching all the shrinkers answer phones for all the newly deads when he jumped out of his seat from a hand on his shoulder. He grumbled, "Fuck, Bob. You need to stop sneaking up on me when I am concentrating. I forgot to tell you it's good to have ya back by the way from your vacation." 

Bob made some mumbling and gestures and watched his bosses already high hair line goes just a bit higher. Beetlejuice said, "Lyds is dead? How? I need to find her. Hold down the fort." He spun out of his chair and ran out the door to the crazy hallway to go find the waiting room. He was hoping maybe they could finally get hitched and get to know each other better.

The train station hadn't seen her yet and when he gets to the waiting room she isn't in there. Just a dude that looked like he took a drill to the head.

Beetlejuice saw the poor fucker with the drill in his head and when he goes to the window he said, "that had ta fucking hurt. Where's Lydia Deetz?"

The receptionist looks up at him blowing a bubblegum bubble with a loud snap when it pops and sighs "Let me look it up here..." she types into her laptop 'click click' chewing her gum.

He grumbled, "I know we are all dead here, toots but come on?"

"How bout a please...once in a while." she blows another bubble.

He snorts, "Me? Good one!"

She rolls her eyes, chewing her gum loudly "Okay...let's see here...Lydia Deetz age 25...um died from car crash, drunk driver involved..." she sighs reading on "Oh she got a rare promotion..." she smirks.

Beetlejuice slammed his hand on the window and yelled, "What kind of promotion? Where is my wife??!"

"Say please." she smirks wickedly.

He growled, "You know what I am capable of..."

She just blows raspberries and sighs "The higher ups took her, she's being Reincarnated."

He said, "What? To who?"

"Doesn't say yet. She's not going to be born again for another two years."

He groaned, "can I at least see her?"

She types into the laptop "The only thing you can see here is a picture of her from the time of death. But otherwise not a chance."

Beetlejuice slammed his fist on his leg and snarled, "Fuck. I need to talk to fucking Juno."

"If you can find her. Otherwise get lost..." she pops another bubble and then calls out "600892! Troy!" to her next in line.

Beetlejuice stormed out of the waiting room and back to his office. He had lost her. The woman he loved more than anything in the world was gone and in 2 years she would be alive again but wouldn't know him. Fuck she might not even be able to see him. He was brooding for who knows how long.

Bob pats him on the back trying to comfort him.

He whispered, "Shes gone, Bob. They won't even let me fucking see her."

Bob mumbles in his odd way of talking "You'll see her again... time goes by faster for us here, just remember that."

He snorted, "I won't even know where to start. What if she can't see me this time? What do I do then?"

"Well, if she can't, make yourself known then. Don't worry I'll try to keep my eyes open for any new news coming in on her." Bobs tells him.

He turned to look at Bob and said, "You are a good friend, Bob. I never really had anyone in my life or afterlife I considered a friend. I think you qualify tho. You are always here even when everyone else takes off. I appreciate your loyalty."

Bob just nods and does that skip off run back to his desk.

Beetlejuice knew he was in for a long two year wait. Then probably even longer still unless he got lucky, but he knew he would only be able to be a friend to her until she was of age anyway. He was willing to do it if it meant he would be by her side again.

Times passes...2 years to be exact and Bob comes rushing through the door trying to get Beetlejuice's attention. Jumping up and down with a folder in his hand.

Beetlejuice has a pair of reading glasses on and a cigarette between his lips when he turns around. He takes a drag before removing it with his left hand. He says, "What's got ya so excited? Well, spit it out, Bob."

Bob hands him the folder "It's the only picture I could find in the life vault... It's her!" he mumbles. Beetlejuice grumbles, "Her? Ya mean Lyds?!" He snatched the file from Bob and sure enough there was the woman he loved. She looked a little older than when he first saw her but still beautiful as ever. Next to her was a picture of a baby with light brown hair. They would find her, and he would have to be careful this time around so not to spook her again. He would wait forever to be with her. He looked up from the folder and said, "Thank you. When you find anything else let me know."
