It was finally Halloween, Lydia's favorite day of the year. After finally watching Karate Kid, she decided to dress up as Ali Mills. However, the boys were doing a group Ghostbusters costume and wanted her to join in.
She told them she was Dana Barrett.
"Oh! I want to see those pearls. Yeah!" Claudia Henderson cheered as she was taking pictures of Dustin's costume.
"Put those pearls away." Lydia groaned.
"Be nice! Who you gonna call?" Her mother exclaimed again.
Dustin lifted up his weird cage and smiled again, much to Lydia's dislike.
"This is so nerdy."
"You're literally dressed up as Dana." He shot back.
"Mhm." She replied sarcastically.
"Come on Lydia, your turn!"
Lydia frowned. "That's okay I'm good just watching."
Dustin grabbed her arm and dragged her over, Lydia groaning.
"Smile!"
Lydia gave a fake smile, refusing to pose. "Mom we're gonna be late."
"Oh right! Go learn something!" Claudia called as they tan out the door.
The two hopped on their bikes and rode to school.

"Duh duh nuh nuh nuh nuh. Duh duh duh duh duh nah nah." Lucas, Mike, and Dustin sang as they parked their bikes.
"Who you gonna call?" They sang when they saw Will.
"Ghostbusters!"
"I should be calling a mental hospital for you guys."
"Hey Spengler!" Will cheered to Dustin, ignoring Lydia's previous comment.
"Egon!"
"Venkman!"
"Woah woah woah." Mike realized.
"What?" Lucas looked at him.
"Why are you Venkman?"
"Because I'm Venkman."
"No, I'm Venkman." Mike argued.
"Why can't there just be two Venkmans?" Will asked.
"Because there's only one Venkman in real life. We planned this months ago. I'm Venkman, Dustin's Stantz, Lydia's Dana. you're Egon, and you're Winston."
"Hey you don't really look like Dana." Will eyed Lydia suspiciously. She put a finger over her mouth, telling him to be quiet.
"I specifically didn't agree to Winston." Lucas exclaimed.
"Yes you did!"
"I don't think he did." Will cuts in.
"No one wants to be Winston man."
"No one wants to be Dana but look at Lydia. Besides, what's wrong with Winston?" Mike asks.
"What's wrong with Winston? He joined the team super late, he's not funny, and he's not even a scientist!" Lucas concluded.
"Yeah but he's still cool."
"If he's cool, then you be Winston."
"I cant." Mike stated.
"Why not?"
"B-Because..." Mike stammered.
"B-Because you're not black?" Lucas mocked.
