EB: my great grandma’s coming over!!
GG: ooh thats awesome john :D
TT: You have rarely talked about your great grandmother, what is she like?
EB: the BEST
John swivels in his seat as he hears his great grandma’s car squeak up the driveway.
EB: SHES HERE!!!!!!!
–ectoBiologist [EB] has left the memo–
John runs down the stairs and out the door like the wind, getting there just as Betty gets out of the car. He thuds into her chest like a bullet.
JOHN: gramma betty!!
BETTY: oof! hi twerp
She ruffles his hair affectionately and leans down.
BETTY: do you wanna check ma trunk?
John squeezes even harder before letting go. You could almost see the sparkles in his eyes.
Laughing, Betty throws him the keys.
BETTY: knock yourshellf out lil man. im goin to talk to your father.
John runs to the trunk and unlocks it, revealing the treasure trove. An unmarked bag and a suitcase.
Captchaloging the two, he closes the trunk, locks the car and runs back inside.
BETTY: aw you stocked up on my baking mix
Of course he did, it’s great.
JOHN: luggage!
Betty turns to look at you with a smile.
BETTY: youre so strong now!
John preens under his grandma’s praise.
JOHN: should i just put your luggage in the guest room?
BETTY: later, later. open the bag!
Betty smiles wide as John opens the bag to find a number of miscellaneous things she picked up for him.
John beams as he opens various ghostbusters merch as well as a nic cage statue Betty found in some strange corner of the planet.
Really quite odd.
John’s dad pulls her away after a but and John puts Betty’s stuff in her guest room and his presents in his before going back downstairs to relax on the couch while Betty talks to his dad.

John looks up from his phone with a groan.
