Creative New Ideas for Old Favorites

In case you didn't know, I absolutely loved the animated series of Beetlejuice and the Fox Family-turned-ABC family show "Big Wolf on Campus." I hope you enjoy my fictitious works! :-)

(Big Wolf on College Campus)

After the trio Lori Baxter, Tommy Dawkins and Merton Dingle headed off to college, the weird and horrific episodes kept appearing. Tommy and Lori developed their relationship even further, while Merton attempted to find the supernatural at State U.

One day, when Merton visited the campus cafeteria with Lori and Tommy, he looked around and discovered a sweet, tall brunette, eating a turkey-and-American cheese sandwich by herself. Merton was blown away by this girl's beautiful appearance, and loner behavior, and decided to walk over to say hello. He sat down right beside her...and the supernatural was about to hit him.

This brunette was no ordinary girl. Brunette sophomore Jaime is a modern day Wiccan. And Jaime is not the only Wiccan on State U's campus. Secretly, Jaime is a triplet of an evil Witch circle, the Vexed; however, Jaime is not like her triplet sisters since she is good of heart...but Merton doesn't realize this at first.

After Jaime asks Merton out on a date in the cemetery, Joan and Jade find out about Jaime's secret date and desire to get back at her. They use their magick to trick and play a game with Merton, using faked feelings and mild lust.

Tommy discovers the weird ways which "Jaime" has been acting lately, and decides to take action to help his best friend. He goes on a date with Joan "just to find out more about Jaime," and terminates his relationship with Lori on the spot when Lori walks down the halls of Thompson one day and sees Tommy with "Jaime."

Lori runs to tell Merton this matter. Jaime suddenly disappears after spending the afternoon with Merton. Jaime tries to inform them that her triplet sisters have discovered her dating secret and want revenge against the trio.

The battle against good versus evil heats up when witches and werewolf collide for a Halloween treat. Big Wolf on Campus: 'Which Witch?' is rated PG-13 for mild crude language and some sexual content.

AND NOW...scenes from Big Wolf on College Campus ;-)

(Meeting Love)
"Oh yeah. She digs me," Merton said inside his head.

"Well, hello."
"Hey," Jaime said, looking up from her meal.
"My name is Merton James Dingle. Fellow dedicated follower of the supernatural, paranormal, goober normal and scientific lover of fiction, including my favorite, Monkeys from Planet Mars...and you are?"
"Not quite ready for this," she said, and stood up to walk away in a few steps.
"Wait," he turned to grab her hand, "What's your name?"

She turned back, smiled, and walked back to sit down again.
"I'm Jaime. I'm a sophomore, but I have to get to class--"
"What class?"
"Chemistry lab. I don't really like it. I'm more of a humanistic, artsy type of girl. I would rather write book reports, poetry, anything..other than trying to figure out a stupid equation. No offense."
Merton smiles, "None taken."
"Hey, why don't you text message me sometime. I'm kinda new here at State U. What's your number?"

Merton stood up, and started to get light-headed. Tommy and Lori glanced over to where the two were sitting at the far right table, and Tommy sprinted over in his werewolf-like speed to catch his "little buddy."

"Merton! Merton buddy, are you alright? What happened?"
"Nothing. I just told him that he could have my phone number," Jaime said.
Tommy laughed. "Is that it?"
"Yeah," Jaime said with a smirk.

"What happened?" Lori said.
Merton came back to consciousness.
"Nothing," Tommy said, "Merton just met her."
"Oh, hi," Lori said with a smile.
"I'm Lori, and this is Tommy," she said, reaching out her hand to shake with Jaime.
"Hey there," Jaime said, "Cool. So, are you guys..together?"

"Yeah," Lori said, "We've been goin' out since high school..senior year."
"That's awesome. Good for you," Jaime said.
"Thanks," Lori said.
"Could you please stop talking for one second and get the poor dark fella up from the--" Merton said, as Tommy gripped Merton's hand and pulled him up.
"...Ground," Merton finished his sentence, and smiled abundantly towards Jaime.
Jaime smiled. "And I like weird things, too. I'm big with ghosts and U.F.O. sightings...even though no one I know believes in that stuff but me...but..whatever."
"I love that stuff," Merton grinned.
"Well, like I said, I gotta get to class now. Starts in 10 minutes," she said.
"Oh, wait," Jaime said, "Here's my number." Jaime pulled out a black pen from her black bookbag and grabbed Merton's white arm to write out her cell phone number on his arm. Merton giggled.

"See you another time," she winked at Merton and smiled. "Nice meeting you two, Tommy and Lori."
"Nice to meet you, too, "Lori said in a humble voice.
"See ya," Tommy said, waving goodbye, and Jaime walked out the exit doors of the cafeteria.

"I'm in love!" Merton exclaimed, raising his arms in the air.
"Now, Merton, buddy. You can't know that just yet for sure. You gotta get to know this girl first," Tommy said.
"True," Lori said, "You don't know her."
"But I can sense it. Mm!" Merton replied.
"And you all thought I wouldn't meet a quote-on-quote 'real girl.' Not like that chick from the Salem Witch trials...or lovely Casandra..."

"She is the most hottest girl I've seen, Tommy! ...and she asked me for my number!"
"She better not be a threat, Tommy," Lori said, "Or I'll tae won do her butt to the ground!"
"Easy, Lori, " Tommy replied, "Just wait a bit. I think Merton will figure this one out. She seems like a nice girl. What do you think, Merton? Do you think she's a threat?"

"I am NEVER washing this arm again!" Merton announced loudly across the cafeteria.
A few stares went into Merton's direction.
"Uh, sorry?" he said.

Little did Merton know that a good, wonderful Wiccan was a part of an evil trip who were about ready to cast a spell against the Pleasantville High alumni trio. This was not just by Magick.

...but Merton was falling hard for Jaime. Fast.

(Merton and the Surprise)

Merton couldn't wait to call the first normal-looking girl he met who didn't kiss him death, or didn't turned him to stone.

Merton began to call Jaime's number.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Jaime?"
"Yeah, hi Merton. What's up?"
Merton paused to happily dance and express his enthusiasm.

"Ah, nothing. I just thought I would use your phone number to call. How--how are you?"
Jaime laughed. "I'm fine."
"So..." Merton started to reply.
"Hey, I think my mom is on the other line right now. Can you hold on a second?"
"Sure," he said.
"Thanks. I'll be right back."

Two minutes passed, and Jaime answered Merton.
"Sorry about that."
"That's fine. No problem. Just relaxing in the dorm lobby. I live with Tommy by the way. He's my roommate."
"Oh, that's cool. Nice."
"Yeah, we're pretty close buds. So, how about you? I--I don't know what to say."
Jaime laughed, "Aww. That's cute. Well, I'm a communication major--"
"You're definitely a better communicator than I am," he said.
Jaime smiled. "I like your hair...I mean, what's your major?"
"Well, I have decided, based on my interests that I want to focus on the black arts recently.."
Jaime paused...then giggled.
"Just kidding. I want to double major in chemistry and biology here. I'm into dead things, too."
"Dead things?"
"Yeah, you know. Like, dead man's toe, fungus, nematodes--"
"I think I get the picture."
"Oh."

"Can I tell you a secret?" Jaime asked.
"Sure," Merton said.
"In person?"
"Well, yeah."
"Meet me in the old lab, 112 of Rhinehart Hall at 12:00 midnight. I think you'll understand and I want to show you."
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Yeah. Definitely."
"Alright. See you soon."
Merton hung up his cell phone. He had a puzzled look on his face, which led to a worried expression. What if she isn't who I think she is? She can't be Miss Wonderful. Right?

Merton met Jaime inside the lab at 11:58 p.m.
"Okay," Jaime said, "Promise--no--Swear to me that you won't run away to what I'm about to show you."
"No big deal. I've seen plenty of weirdness with my times that Tommy and I have been together."
"Okay," she said, "Close your eyes." She came close to Merton and took his hands to cover his eyes completely.
"No peaking."
He could not resist to being squimish and giddy. She whispered in his left ear, "I hope you like me."
Merton smiled brightly.

She stepped away from him and pulled her brunette hair down with her fingers to reveal her streaks of long black hair which grew to reach her breasts, instead of her shoulders. She replaced her clothes in an instance with her new velvet robe, purple corsette, black skirt and black pump shoes. Lacey stockings replaced her bare legs and purple streaks flowed down her black hair.

"You can open them now," she said.
Merton gave a look of shock then turned his eyes and facial expression to look of reassurance.
"You're not who I think you are..." he said. She nodded. "Are you? A witch?"

"Yes, Merton. I'm a Wiccan...or a witch like you said."
He was disgusted for a moment, folding his arms, then walked over to grab her hands.
For a moment he was annoyed, but he suddenly realized something.
"As the great witch, Linda, of the North in the 1930s classic production Wizard of Oz once said to Dorothy," he said.
Jaime giggled.
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"
Jaime smiled before answering.
"I'm a good witch."
Merton sighed.
"I've always been. And I want to be known as Jaime. Just normal Jaime, " she said, "Not like some stupid misunderstood social outcast."
Merton muttered under his breath, "I resent that."
"Sorry!" she exclaimed and briefly laughed.
"Merton," Jaime said, "I like you...but I don't know why."
Merton blushed.
"You seem sweet, kind, smart, a nice guy," she said.
"Ah...gee, thanks," he smiled like a little boy.
"And so full of energy!" she said.
He made one of his shy quirks.
"And quirky. Ha ha. I like that about you. You make me feel like we could go on an adventure together and find some cool stuff."
"I like you, too, Jaime," he said, "but, please, don't cast a spell on me...unless, it is for the greater good of mankind. I don't want to end up like a frog in my biology class."
Jaime laughed a bit harder. Merton stared into Jaime's eyes, and she couldn't stop laughing.
"I'm sorry, Merton. Can I call you Mert?"
"You can call me whatever you want...just don't call me Dingle."
"Okay," she said, "Ding-a-ling-a-ling!" She laughed, smiled, and bit her lower lip with her teeth.
"It's getting too late and I have to get going," Jaime said.
"Again?" Merton said. Jaime gathered her things and placed them into her bookbag. "Again with the leaving."
"Don't worry. I'll be around all day tomorrow around Thompson Hall..I mean today. It is after midnight, right?"
"Yeah, I guess."
She sheepishly looked back into his eyes again.
"How about I leave you with one thing before I go," she said.
"What's that?"
She grabbed his left hand and right hand, and placed them on her hips. He got weak in his legs.
"Stand up," she said, giggling.
She placed her arms around his neck and began to slow dance.
The stereo mysteriously turned on and began to play soft instrumental jazz music.
"I really didn't have this in mind," he said, "Most girls who are witches I know turn out to be creepy sorority sisters from a strange university."
Jaime laughed.
"And I don't mean that in a positive way."
"I'm not like that at all," she said, "In fact, I think sororities are overrated."
"I wanted to reveal my true identity with you because...I sort of feel like an outcast. And I felt like I could trust you because you said you like that stuff."
"Don't say that...you are.." Merton stumbled.
"And I don't know many cute goth guys around campus," Jaime said.
"Are..." Merton tried to regain his confident stride. "Ah-mazing."
Jaime smiled brightly, from ear to ear, and giggled again.
"I don't care if you do cast a spell on me anyway...You could ahead and do one right now. Are you casting a spell on me right now?"
Jaime shook her head. "Nope. Not at all."
Merton sighed relief.
"Seriously?"
"Seriously."
"I don't understand. Why me?"
"I just told you. I feel like I can trust you."
Jaime leaned back on the biology desk, smiling, as Merton drew closer. Just then, he looked up and saw shadows of people outside in the hallway. The music turned off suddenly.
"Quick! Go duck inside the closet," Merton said,"How are we going to get out?"
"Seriously? You're talking to a witch? I've got a spell for almost everything," Jaime said, "Take my hand." Merton grabbed Jaime's hand and they became invisible. They walked through the biology door and graciously walked outside the building together.
Then, they turned visible again.
"Goodnight," Jaime waved, walking away.
"Goodnight," Merton waved back, sighing again. She is SO fine! Merton thought to himself.


Five minutes later, Jaime left to return back to her dorm. Merton was blown away by Jaime's actions that he decided the next morning that he was going to tell Tommy about her secret.

(Merton's kiss)

Merton and Lori attended the homecoming football game, which was against Union College, to watch Tommy play in his debut game. Jaime walked past the section where Merton and Lori were sitting, and Merton said to Lori, "I think I'm going to invite Jaime up here to sit with us."

"In that case, I'm going to find another place to sit," Lori said, "You two can sit together."
"Um, thanks for bailing," Merton said.
He glanced down to make eye contact with Jaime and motioned her to walk up the bleachers to sit beside him. She walked up with a smile and sat down.
"Nachos?" he said.
"No thanks," she said, "So, is this your first college football game?"
"Well, no. I mean, yeah. Tommy is second string quarterback and starts playing tonight."
"Very cool."
He eyed Lori from over in the student section, and gave her the "hey, look who I'm sitting with" facial expression. Lori rolled her eyes back at him.
"Yeah, very cool," he said.
"So, do you like football?"
Merton tried to pull his arm around Jaime, but just then Jaime yelled, "Hey, that's my friend Laura! Hey Laura!" The girl waved at Jaime.
"Yeah, I like it," she said, " I really like it when interceptions are made, ref's keep their senses about calls, and the flippin' team knows how to run their offense." Jaime got off her feet to stand and yell, "What the heck, ref? Make the call already!"
Merton looked embarrassed.
"You really know your football," he said.
"Not really," she said, "I just get annoyed when people stop acting like people during a game."

She turned to look at Merton and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then, she stood up as she watched State U score a touchdown.
The rest of the crowd jumped to their feet with her and cheered loudly. Merton paused for a second, looking dumbfounded, then stood up as well, regaining his strength, and held her hand.
Jaime laced her fingers with his and felt his pale hand's warmth.
"I'm glad I met you," Merton said.
"I'm glad too, Merton" Jaime said, "It was by chance, I think. Wasn't it?"
"No," he said, "I think you've bewitched me."

With that statement, Merton pursed his lips as Jaime smiled, leaning in closer to Merton. Jaime whispered to Merton, "I really like you," and felt her lips pressing against his for a moment. Then, a toy football flew wildly and hit Merton on the side of the head, as he was knocked out on the bleacher.

"Merton! Are you alright? Merton!"
