Disclaimer: I have not seen Ghostbusters in a very very long time, and even then I am not sure if I ever saw the whole thing or just parts of it. I did not do any research either, I'm just going off of memory. Also, I am making this be the new (2016) movie, going by the assumption that the new movie is a reboot with women, since I'm not actually sure if they're doing a reboot or a sequel.
Ring. Ring. RING.
"Hey Charlie, I know we hired you for your looks rather than your secretary skills, but aren't you going to answer that?" Bee asks.
"Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot!" Charlie picks up the phone, and 3 minutes later has an address written on a sticky note. "Ok, it's on 23rd and Washington. And it sounds like a real doozy; they counted no less than 10 ghosts!"
"I'll put an extra ghost container in the car then," Linda says. The team is already putting on their super-special ghost-repellant onesies. "And everyone make sure your voltage shooters have a full charge!"
"Ok team, are we ready?" Pandora asks. Everyone nods. As the self-proclaimed leader of the group she gets to be the keeper of the car keys, and she grabs them off a hook on the wall. Charlie waves goodbye.
"Can I drive this time?" Sophie asks excitedly.
"But Sophie drove last time," Bee says in a whiny voice.
"Only because you took so long getting ready," Sophie shoots back. "I asked first."
"But I haven't driven in a long time..."
"Enough!" Pandora shouts. "I'll drive." Sophie and Bee, sulking like two children receiving a punishment, get into the back seat. Linda takes her usual spot in the front passenger seat; she is the designated navigator.
15 minutes later they have arrived at a scary-looking old house. "It kind of looks like a haunted house!" Sophie says, previous slight forgotten.
Linda rolls her eyes. "Imagine that."
There are lots of ghosts inside. The Ghostbusters each have a thing that looks like a vacuum cleaner except it shoots electricity and somehow they use it to capture ghosts inside the bag part of the vacuum cleaner; it is all very high-tech and impressive looking but the principle of it is actually very simple; all they have to do is make sure the streams of electricity don't cross. Bee warned them when they were starting out that if the streams cross then everyone in the universe will die, in a super science-y way.
Soon they have a pile full of ghost containers on the floor, and no more ghosts seem to be coming out. Sophie checks the refrigerator. "Just in case," she says, and they nod. Once they were in a house where ghosts were inside the eggs, and they do not need a repeat of THAT particular experience.
Pandora does one more final inspection, and then uncocks her vacuum cleaner electricity gun. She is satisfied; ever since she and the others got fired from their jobs at the University of 667 they've been scrambling for money, but this job should rake in a nice fat paycheck.
As the four of them leave, ghost containers in hand, all have other things on their minds. Linda wants to polish her vacuum cleaner electricity gun when they get back to HQ, and Bee wants to take a shower. Sophie is trying to figure out how to get Pandora let her drive the car, and Pandora is thinking of ways to keep the keys safely in her possession. None of them notice a supernatural-looking portal opening behind them.
"Hey, not so fast!" a horrible voice yells. The group turns, seeing the portal for the first time and...nothing else.
"Who's there?" Bee asks.
"I am the God Dante!" the voice thunders. "God of books! And I am here to destroy your world!"
"Still not seeing anything," Pandora says. She mutters "Punk-ass book jockey," under her breath.
"I will take the form you first think of to destroy your world!"
Pandora laughs. All four of them are trained in thinking about nothing; they can keep it up for days.
"Hey guys," Teleram says, appearing out of nowhere. "You guys are Ghostbusters, right? Have you found Bryan yet? Haha, get it? Because Bryan always dies?"
Suddenly an enormous sphynx cat with an evil-looking mustache materializes.
"DAMMIT TELERAM!" The four ladies shout in unison.
The sphynx cat starts terrorizing the city, stomping on buildings and eating people and stuff. They try shooting it with their guns, but it appears to have no effect. But then Bee gets the idea to shoot the portal and make the electricity streams cross.
"I thought you said doing that would make us all die in a super-science-y way?" Sophie says.
"Well...there's a slight possibility I exaggerated. Plus if we don't the Dante Cat God will kill us anyway."
"Good point."
They all shoot the portal and it causes a big explosion and it somehow defeats the Bryan/Dante/Cat God of Books. Everyone is happy; except Bryan/Dante, who is dead.
Ring. Ring. RING.
