"Ok, Alex, Will stand over there" said Lydia "Tori, we'll do it to you in a second, just watch for now, ok?"

"Mum, whats going on?" asked Alex

"Don't worry" said Lydia "You're perfectly safe"

"What's happening?" asked Alex, her eyes widening

"Oh don't be such a kill joy Lex" said Will "just chillax for like 5 minutes for once"

"I don't want to die Will" said Alex

"Chill out mini Lyds" said Beetlejuice, floating up to the ceiling "You'll be fine, A-dog and B-town are not gonna let anything happen to you" Will rolled his eyes at his sister and Alex reluctantly nodded. 

"Ready?" asked Barbara, moving to the right side of the siblings while Adam stood to the left. 

"Set" they each raised their hands up 

"Go!" they said in sync. They used their powers to levitate the 2 children off the ground. Barbara was in charge of Alex and Adam was in charge of Will. Alex screamed at first but Will yelled in joy and started kicking his legs around. 

"So, how do you like the view?" asked Beetlejuice, laying down mid air and resting his chin on his hands 

"This is wicked" said Will

"It is isn't it" laughed Lydia, she looked at Victoria "you want a go baby?"

"Uh huh" nodded Victoria. Lydia laughed and looked up at her children 

"Who wants to come down?" Alex immediately raised her hand and Barbara lowered her to the ground before turning her hands to Victoria and gently lifting her off the ground. The young girl squealed happily and had a lovely time up in the air with her brother and their resident demon. 

Once her feet were back on solid ground, the tension left Alex's shoulders and she looked at her mother with wide eyes. Lydia laughed and wrapped her daughter up in a tight hug. 


"Hey Lydia" said Adam, turning to the woman once he and his wife had lowered her 2 younger kids to the ground "want to have a go?"

"Oh I don't know.." said Lydia. Barbara smirked and so did Adam. In sync they lifted her off the ground, forcing a loud yell out of the woman as she floated to the roof with her demon pal. "Hey Beej, been a while since I was up here"

"Remember the tricks?" asked Beetlejuice

"How could I forget" laughed Lydia. She started doing forward flips and backflips. Will cheered and Alex gasped. Neither of them knew their mum was that cool, and just considered her to be your boring regular mum. "God I forgot how fun this is" 

"All we need is music" laughed Barbara. Adam flicked his hand and Calypso music started playing. Specifically Jump In The Line. Lydia smiled at for a few moments allowed herself to be a teenage girl again. She mouthed along to the words as she floated above everyone else. 

"How old is this song?" asked Will, looking for the source of the music "it sounds ancient" 

"Its quite old" laughed Adam "but we used to play them when we were alive and your mum liked them so we kept them around" they lowered Lydia down to the ground as the song finished and Will looked excitedly at the Maitlands and Beetlejuice.

"So what else can you guys do?"

"Well... have you told them what we did to your parents Lyd?" asked Barbara

"Ooh, do tell that story again, I do enjoy it so much" said Beetlejuice

"What happened?" asked Will. Victoria was jumping up and down excitedly and Alex looked intrigued. 

"Well, it was like the day after your mum and grandparents moved in here, and we were still relatively new to being ghosts, and your grandpa was hosting a dinner party. Your mum did not want anything to do with it and convinced us to help her wreck it. We possessed everyone and made them sing a song"

"Oh my god" said Will "You guys are awesome" he turned to his mother "mum, I wanna do that"

"No" said Lydia firmly. Will pouted, which made Adam, Barbara and Lydia laugh.
