'Mood change much?' asked Lydia, hearing the cheerful music. She looked at Sky 'Its very you'

'Thank you' said Sky, she smiled, but it turned to a frown 'I think'. Lydia laughed and laid her head back on Adam's stomach, leaning closer into Barbara's embrace. 

Sky:
This is it
The day I've been waiting for
Wishing, hoping, working, and praying for
The day my parents have been delaying for years
Ooh, I'm gonna sell some cookies

'I'm confused' said Beetlejuice 'I this musical is about me, why are we learning so much about Sky?'

'Because, we all need a break from you Beej' said Lydia 'and its always nice to have a backstory of a character' Beetlejuice shrugged and poked his head back inside the fort. 

It's not their fault that they're overprotective
I was born with arrhythmia
My heart is defective
Only takes one shock and I could be dead from the fear
Still, I'm gonna sell some cookies

'Did Lydia and BJ's scaring you hurt you in anyway?' asked Charles, frowning slightly at his daughter 

'Um, no' said Sky 'Yes, my heart did react a bit, but it didn't kill me, so its fine'

Hike by hike
Song by song
The Girl Scouts helped my heart grow strong
They'd have my back if anything went wrong with me

'The person singing this is amazing' said Delia 'Its actually so funny' 

Jamborees, soda pop
Distract me from the fact that my heart could stop
From tetralogy of Fallot in my pulmonary artery!
Whee!

'I'm sorry, what are all those big words?' asked Beetlejuice 

'Lil baby Beej doesn't understand the big words?' asked Lydia, putting on a baby voice. Beetlejuice frowned at her and Lydia laughed 'don't worry, I don't get them either'

'I could explain it to you, but that'd take a long time' said Sky 'so lets stick with heart disease'

When you're a Girl Scout
Everything's gonna work out
Even if you're born with congenital heart disease
And you could be killed by a random sneeze

Beetlejuice laughed but Lydia frowned. She still felt extremely guilty about scaring Sky because it could've killed her. She glanced at the girl sitting on the other end of the couch, and saw her grinning at the song. At least I didn't kill her, thought Lydia, cause that'd be awful

You're a Girl Scout
Everything's gonna work out
Just gonna ring the bell of this creepy looking house

'Wait, you think our house is creepy?' asked Adam, speaking up for the first time in ages

'It wasn't creepy when you lived there' explained Sky 'But when Lydia lived there all by herself with BJ, it looked really creepy and unwelcoming' 

'Oh, ok' said Adam 'thats alright' he didn't like the thought of anyone insulting his beautiful house that he loved so much. 

Lydia (spoken):
Hello, little girl

'Lydia, you sound like an extremely creepy, moody teenager' said Delia 

'Thats because I am one' replied Lydia. Delia nodded her head in agreement 

Sky:
Oh, um, yes, um, hi
My name is Sky
And I'm here today to support the Girl Scouts by selling cookies
Four dollars a box
Would you like some?

'Wow, thats just like what happened' said Lydia 'even with you playing with your hair'

'I was nervous' said Sky defensively
