Watching Beetlejuice: The Musical

Invisible (Reprise) / On the Roof

Beetlejuice:
You're invisible when you're me

'Hey! That was my song at the start of the musical' said Lydia

'Well its mine now!' said Beetlejuice, grinning at Lydia 'and you can't have it back'

'No fair' said Lydia, crossing her arms and frowning at Beetlejuice

There's no one to see my truth
If they could look up they'd see
"Hey, somebody's on the roof!" 

'Think anyone in the audience ever shouted that out?' asked Delia

'If they did they'd get kicked outta the theatre' said Charles, who was strongly against people talking in the theatre or movies

God, it's mortifying
What's the point of even trying?

'Trying?' asked Sky

'Trying to get people to say his name 3 times' said Lydia and when she saw the look on SKy's face she laughed 'Don't worry about it'

'Cus now
I'm trapped with no escape
Banished, disavowed
I vanished like a cloud
Of dirty hipster vape
Nobody said life's fair
Guess they will never see
The demon who isn't there
You're invisible when you're me
Whoa, what have we got here?

'Oh god' muttered Lydia, knowing what was coming next 'I need the bathroom, I'll be back' she quickly got up and walked out of the room. Barbara and Adam looked at each other, concern evident in their eyes

'Is she ok?' asked Sky, looking at the door Lydia had slammed behind her and frowning. 

'I dunno' said Barbara 'Is it ok if I go check on her, you guys can keep watching, but I just think she's hiding something' 

'Yeah go ahead Honey' said Adam. He and Barbara shared a sweet, short kiss, before Barbara got up and left the room, behind Lydia. Sky smiled sweetly at Adam and Barbara and then turned back to the screen

Lydia:
By the time you read this
I, Lydia Deetz, will be gone
There's nothing for me here
I'm alone, forsaken, invisible

'Oh my god' muttered Adam putting a hand over his mouth 

'Was she actually about to...?' Delia trailed off and stared at the screen. Charles couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. His beautiful daughter had nearly killed herself, he couldn't and didn't believe it. Sky was staring at the screen in shock and didn't say anything, but there were clearly tears in her eyes. 

'Well, you've all gotta thank me because I stopped her' said Beetlejuice smugly from his pillow fort. 

'I'm gonna go check on Lyds and Barb' muttered Adam, getting up and leaving, only stopping to gently ruffly Sky's hair, making her smile

Beetlejuice:
That makes two of us...

'I'm sorry but that'd be creepy' said Sky 'Being on your roof and then seeing a green haired demon sitting there'

Lydia:
Who the hell are you?

'Ha, hell, thats funny' said Beetlejuice

Beetlejuice:
Can you...
See me?!

'Why do you sound surprised?' asked Delia

'Delia, its very very rare for people to be able to see me unless someone says my name' said Beetlejuice, turning to Delia

Lydia:
Yeah...

Beetlejuice:
You can see me!I'm gonna have a new best friend!

'That was interesting' said Charles 'Should I go check on Lydia and the Maitlands?'

'No, leave them too it' said Delia 'They need some time alone'

~ with Lydia (after she leaves) ~

Lydia sat outside the door and put her head on her knees. She heard footsteps and someone sat next to her

'I don't wanna talk about it Delia' she muttered into her knees

'Good thing I'm not Delia' said a kind voice and Lydia looked up to see Barbara smiling at her 'I won't make you tell me, but if you want to you can' said Barbara gently, looking at Lydia. Lydia moved closer to Barbara and collapsed against Barbara's chest. Barbara gently rubbed Lydia's back as the teenager cried her eyes out. The door opened again and Adam walked out. He saw his wife comforting the teenager and smiled lightly

'Hey Lyds' he said gently, sitting next to Barbara 'We've finished the song, so if you want you can go wash your face and then do you wanna head back inside and continue watching?' Lydia lifted he head from Barbara's chest and smiled at Adam

'Thanks guys' she said. Lydia got up and left for the bathroom. Barbara turned to Adam 

'What happened in there?' she asked, wondering what was so bad that Lydia didn't want them to see. Adam sighed and wondered how Barbara was going to react

'Lydia was about to commit suicide' he said quietly. Barbara gasped and tears welled up in her eyes. Adam put an arm around her and kissed her temple 'Its ok though, Beetlejuice stopped her and she's here with us and she's happy' he said gently, rubbing her shoulder

'Guess thats one good thing that green haired demon did' she said lightly. Lydia exited the bathroom looking a lot happier and was immediately attacked in a hug by Barbara. 

'I'm guessing Adam told you' Lydia said, patting Barbara's back. The ghost nodded and Lydia smiled. 'I'm fine now Barb, I promise. I am very happy with you and Adam and Delia and Dad' Barbara nodded again and squeezed Lydia tightly. 'Come on, lets go back in, they'll be wondering where we are' she grabbed Barbara's hand and reached for Adams. Together, the three of them walked back into the room. Charles and Delia looked up at Lydia with concern but Lydia smiled at them and sat down in her seat

'Are you ok Lydia?' asked Charles

'I'm fine dad' said Lydia 'And I don't really wanna talk about it, so can we move onto the next song please?' she asked

'Of course, its called Say My Name' said Charles
