Okay, everybody. As promised, here is your first sneak peek at the upcoming Ghostbusters/Muppets fanfic, "Who Ya Gonna Call?"....
As soon as the elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, the doors flew open and Scooter peeked out into the hall. “Looks like the coast is clear,” he said before stepping out cautiously, followed by the others.
At the end of the hall, two youngsters rounded a corner and ended up only several feet away from the Ghostbusters, who they hadn’t noticed at first. They were also residents of the hall and went by the names of Mimi (a haughty southerner with a heart of gold) and Riff (who was named after his skills as a musician).
“I think we should practice some more on that last tune, Mimi.” Riff stated. “Something about it didn’t sound too right.”
“And I think you’re bein’ too hard on yourself, Riff.” Mimi replied. “Not all music’s gonna sound the way you intended it to, once you start playin’ it.”
“I suppose you’re right.” Riff said. “But, still, I’d like to go back and try it again, after we grab some lunch from the…” Riff stopped as soon as he spotted the group down the hall, dressed strangely and wearing powerful machinery on them. “Would you look at that!”
Mimi followed his gaze, also spotting the group, and her eyelids went up in result of her surprise of seeing them there. “Well, ain’t that somethin’! Who…or what…would you suppose they be, Riff?”
“Fellow musicians, perhaps?” Riff assumed. “We do get a lot of strange ones around here at Faffner Hall.”
“Oh, no,” Mimi said, “They can’t be that.”
“Well, why not?”
“Because look at them funny instruments they’re carryin’. Now you tell me what kind of musician plays instruments like those?”
Riff looked closely at the machines on the group’s backs, noticing the lights, switches, buttons, and other unnatural things situated on them. Turning his focus back on Mimi, he answered, “Like I said before, Mimi…we’ve had weirder musicians come and stay here before.”
Mimi shook her head, still finding it hard to accept that the group was musicians. “Well, say if you’re right, then what would you call what their instruments are?”
“I dunno. The descendant of a xylophone?”
“Oh, Riff. Stop bein’ so silly!” Mimi exclaimed, and then she turned to the group down the hall and shouted out to them. “Hey! What ya’ll…?”
As soon as Stephanie heard the voice behind her, she whirled and fired a stream of protons from her wand. Christina and Scooter, so keyed up at the moment, also spun and fired wildly. Mimi and Riff ducked out of the way, as the particle streams blew past them and demolished a massive chunk of the wall and completely destroyed a window.
“WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!” Jessica screamed. “CEASE FIRE! CEASE FIRE!”
Stephanie, Christina, and Scooter immediately done as Jessica commanded them and stopped firing. They looked across the hall to see the destruction they had just caused. What remained of that section was charred and blackened, while a gaping hole lied in the middle of it all, revealing a beautiful New York skyline that contradicted the nasty area.
Mimi and Riff, who had been crouched down on the floor, slowly and cautiously lifted their heads and just as relieved as the Ghostbusters were to find out that they were alive and unharmed. Mimi looked towards them and angrily asked, “Just what in the heck are ya’ll doin’?”
The Ghostbusters looked to one another in embarrassment and shock.
“Sorry.” Stephanie uttered.
“Sorry.” Christina said.
“Sorry about that.” Scooter stated.
“We thought ya’ll were somebody else.” Jessica added.
After looking at the strange and yet frightening group of people, Riff turned to Mimi and said, “You’re right. Definitely not musicians.”
Jessica turned and faced her team with an even more nervous look on her face. She did her best to show off a calm, collective smile. “Well, there you have it, ladies...and Scooter. A successful test.”
“Before we go any further, I think it’d be best if we split up.” Stephanie suggested.
“Good idea.” Christina agreed.
“Yeah,” Scooter said, “We can do more damage that way.”
The story comes to Muppet Central on March 25th!
