When Will I See You Again
Part 2 to āGoodbye for Now...ā
Delia: I can sense a depressing energy coming off of you.
Lydia: And? Iām always depressed.
Delia: The energy is different this time. Whatās wrong?
Lydia: He hasnāt written to me yet.
Delia: Oh, Lydia. Iām sure he will! Heās probably just busy.
Lydia: Well apparently heās been too busy to write me a letter for 8 months. Honestly, at this point Iām starting to think that.... that heās not coming back at all. *starts to tear up*
Delia: Lydia, no! Donāt say that! You donāt know that. Maybe theyāre having mail issues?
Lydia: Or maybe he canāt come back and he doesnāt know how to tell me and then we can never talk again- *puts her head on the table*
[A flame appears in midair in front of Lydia revealing a black envelope that falls in front of her]
[Lydia lifts her tear stained face, shocked to see it]
Lydia *she smiles wiping her tears*: Beetlejuice!!
Lydia *reading it out loud*:
I know this letterās late and I can already hear your frustraited screams because you wanted me to write to you so shut up. Anyway I really miss you kid. Working here at the Netherworld has had its ups and downs. Mostly downs. Literly all Iām doing is showing newlydeads around and giving them a tour. Iām basicly doing my motherās job. Donāt get me wrong, I love bursting into song to explain to people about the fact that theyāre gonna spend an eternity in the darkest and emptiest place and that theyāre gonna be lonely for the rest of their (dead) lives and I get to sing it cheerfuly to give them false hope so they donāt try to go back to earth before theyāve gone through the security door, but it gets old after youāve done it for thousands of people. And the biggest downside of being here is that youāre not here so I get very bored. I miss creating chaos and comiting arson with you. Right. I should probably get to what youāve been wanting to hear. Well, honestly, thereās been so many signs that have pointed towards no, like the biggest one being this lady Miss Argentina telling me that Iām going to have to stay here forever to compleetly take my momās job because I killed her. Honestly I shouldnāt have even written this letter if thereās no s̶̷h̶̷o̶̷w̶̷ t̶̷o̶̷ c̶̷o̶̷m̶̷e̶̷ b̶̷a̶̷c̶̷k̶̷ t̶̷o̶̷ way I can come back now. I guess Iāll just suprise you when I come home. Even though Miss Argentina says I need to take my momās place and become the ruler of the Netherworld. Youād think Iād be interested in becoming the ruler of the Netherworld. Can you imagine? All that power! Actually it sounds very enticing. Okay I better go. I got another batch of newlydeads to entertain. Have fun trying to figure out if Iām coming back or not. Byeeeeee
Lydia: THAT LITTLE SON OF A-
Delia *scolding*: Lydia!!!
Lydia: Heās purposely trying to confuse me! He canāt just leave me wondering if heās coming back or not!! I have to know!!
Delia: If he wrote āHave fun trying to figure out if Iām coming back or not,ā then wouldnāt that mean heās most likely coming back?
Lydia: Yeah youāre probably right. But still, I want a definite answer.
Delia: Heās not actually going to take over as ruler of the Netherworld, right?
Lydia: No, thatās not him. As much as he has a lust for power, he knows itās not filling. He realized that after I killed him. And you know itās just like people say, āMoney canāt buy you happiness.ā Sure, youāll be happy at first, but eventually youāll become empty and depressed. Besides he told me before he left that he hates the Netherworld. He told me exactly what I had felt when I went to the Netherworld. Itās dark, depressing and empty.
Lydia: Wait, he wrote something at the bottom. How did I not see that?
Hahahahahaaaa!! I can already hear your confused screaming from here! Anyway I wrote the answer on the back.
Lydia *to herself*: I wasnāt screaming you self absorbed idiot.
Also I know I have bad grammar and spelling so shutup. What? Itās not like thereās a spell check when Iām writing these letters.
[Lydia flips the letter over]
I talked to Miss Argentina more about going back and she kept insisting that they all needed me, (thatās a first) but then she started feeling bad and said that theyāll try to find someone to replace me. Guess my sexy looks got to her. Anyway Iām pleased to tell you that⦠Iām coming back!! :) Iām coming home. Funny thing about the word home. My mom always said that the Netherworld is my home and that I needed to come back to it. The thing is, even though Iām āhomeā now and even though things have been nice here, it doesnāt feel like home. I realize now that home isnāt really a place that you have to live in whether you want to or not. Itās where you feel most wanted and acceppted. Itās where you want and acceppt the people surounding you. Itās where you belong. Itās you guys. Anyway, Iāll be back April 8th. Yes this year. Well technicly next year it just feels like itās this year. 2022. Until then, hang in there scarecrow. Look! I got that sentence gramaticaly correct! Anyway give everyone except your dad my love. See ya soon! Byeeeeeee
Lydia *hugging her*: Delia heās coming back!!!
Delia: Thatās great news!!! We should celebrate when he returns!
Lydia *jumping up and down*: Guys!! Heās coming back! Heās coming back!!
Adam: Thatās wonderful! As much as I hate getting harassed by him, I do miss him every once and a while.
Barbara: Thatās great, Lydia! Now you have something to look forward to! When is he coming back?
Lydia: This coming April!
Lydia *smiling*: It feels so far from now, but all that matters is that heās coming home.
