[Feb 28] [Beetlejuice] All The Time In The World
Title: All The Time In The World
Day/Theme: Feb. 28 - "Time doth run with calm and silent foot"
Series: Beetlejuice
Character/Pairing: BJ
Rating: PG
Stupid exorcism.
He picked himself up and shook off a new layer of sand and dust. He didn’t know what a spirit passed through to leave them so gritty after being cast out, but it left a mess. It didn’t matter.
Now he was stuck here until the restraints weakened. It shouldn’t be long. The kid had the stuff, but she would have a long way to go before she could find a limbo he couldn’t get out of. She had just managed to banish him to the intangible. In this case, it was in the reflection of her mirror.
Know what? It was all right. It was just fine. He could use some down time. It would build the suspense, and make the shattering glass and his face appearing over hers in the mirror that much more entertaining.
He tried to loll on her bed but couldn’t. It was really her bed, just the reflection of it. Damn. He couldn’t move anywhere in the room that wasn’t reflected in the mirror, which was stupid, and boring after the first three seconds.
You didn’t be dead for 600 years without learning patience. It was the first time he’d been exorcised, or the best job of it that had been done. A kid as bright (ok, more like dark)and curious as Lydia wouldn’t be able to leave well enough alone. He’d be out again in no time at all. For now, as much as it galled him, he was trapped.
And he could deal with that. He sniffed noisily and wiped his nose on his shoulder, then settled down to wait. He was dead, after all. He had all the time in the world, and whether it raced or crawled, it always passed.
