It was a dark and stormy night in Ghostbuster central.

What? You don't believe me? Read on!

Peter was taking a hot, relaxing shower. Egon was cooped up in the lab as usual, while Winston and Ray were taking in a horror movie fest. This fest was complete with tons of popcorn, soda, and candy. The theme for this fest was; attack of things 50feet and taller!

Ray nearly jumped from his seat as the giant rabbits pounded the poor farmer senseless. Winston nearly dropped the popcorn bowl as a woman was nibbled into oblivion. They both looked at each other with shaky grins.

"Man, they're sizing up everything but the kitchen sink for this fest!" Winston exclaimed as he passed Ray the Mike and Ikes.

Ray popped a few in his mouth and chewed before speaking. "The only thing we haven't seen yet are peacocks!"

The second he spoke, a loud explosion akin to a sonic boom came from the lab.

*KKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM* (Spengler Style of course!)

"Egon!" Ray yelled, jumping from his feet and heading for the lab. Winston quickly followed suit.

Seconds later there was a blood curdling scream coming from the bunkroom!

Peter emerged dripping wet, with only a towel around his waist. (down, Peter fans! ^_^) Due to his feet being slightly damp from his hasty retreat, he started to skid across the floor, slamming into Winston and Ray as they reached the lab door.

"Ouch!" Ray winced, rubbing his sore shoulder.

"Eww, Pete! Get off me man, you're naked!" Winston grimaced, handing Peter back his towel. (someone get the Peter fans drool towels!)

The green eyes were large with fear. "There's a peacock in the bunkroom. WHY is there a peacock in the bunkroom?" Peter yelled as he pointed to the bunkroom.

Winston and Ray exchanged looks, both pairs of eyes grew round. "A peacock!?"

"Yes a PEACOCK!" Peter screamed. "The damn thing was nearly 7 feet tall! It nearly took a chunk out of me!" He turned to look at his backside and make sure both cheeks were intact.

The three considered heading to the bunkroom to investigate, when the lab door flung open and a slightly rumpled Egon appeared. He had a proton pack on his back and was grumbling under his breath as he walked.

They watched in silence as Egon entered the room. Loud squawking was heard, a flash of protons and then the closing of the trap.

Egon reappeared, still grumbling and returned to the lab. "Damn Peacocks," he mumbled, closing the lab door in their face.

"What the hell?" Winston asked.

Ray and Peter could only stare in silence.
