History Fanfic / Cinderjuice

* TakeThatUs: When frustrated with events, BJ asks, "Who in the world wrote [[WhoWritesThisCrap this episode]]?"

* BouquetToss: And it's caught by [[spoiler:Donny]].

* TitledAfterTheSong: As noted above, the story is named after the song by Owl City.

* ParentalObliviousness: Both Lydia and Beetlejuice comment on the fact that Charles and Delia are often profoundly guilty of this. It makes Charles attempting to be an OverprotectiveDad all the more amusing to Beetlejuice.

** And then there's a second one offered toward the end of the story. It's got a much stranger objective: [[spoiler:TheyDo (sort of).]]

* TheyDo: The whole point of the interquel is to show the wedding that had just started when the previous story ended.

** Prince Vince and Donny have a conversation about {{Love Triangle}}s and TriangRelations, as noted below.

* LoveTriangle: {{Discussed}}; Prince Vince remarks that he hates them for being so overused in fiction.

* TriangRelations: Type 4. Lydia and Beetlejuice are together (and married), but Vasile wants Lydia for himself. The trope is actually {{invoked}}, with Prince Vince explaining it to Donny.

* {{Flashback}}: Has one that serves as the OriginStory of the cartoon, demonstrating how Lydia and Beetlejuice met. (It's heavily based on the origin story presented in the spinoff comic books.)

* NarniaTime[=/=]YearInsideHourOutside: Time moves faster in the Neitherworld than it does in the Outerworld. Lydia has theorized as much for some while; it's mentioned in ''Cinderjuice'' and officially confirmed in ''The Bug Princess''.

* NiceShoes: As per most Literature/{{Cinderella}} retellings.

* NiceShoes: Once again, the Fairy Godfather provides shoes for an excursion to the Outerworld.

The first installment, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11739058/1/ Cinderjuice]]'' ([[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5751283/chapters/13251904 alternate link]]), was intended as a stand-alone story.[[note]]Hence why the page is named for it and not the series.[[/note]] Lydia's about to graduate from high school and wants to attend her senior prom, so Beetlejuice asks the Neitherworld's [[Film/TheGodfather Fairy Godfather]] to let him be [[MortalityEnsues human again]] for one night. Shockingly, things don't go according to plan, and the pair find themselves in serious hot water. What initially starts out as a pretty clear ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' parody (with a little ''Film/TheGodfather'' thrown in) quickly jumps the tracks to become something a bit more crazy, which is only natural when Beetlejuice is involved.

* AdultFear: The old woman in Romania explains that the ''strigoi mort'' will drink whatever human blood he can find, but prefers that belonging to [[WouldHarmAChild children]] and young women.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent[=/=]OddballInTheSeries: This installment of the series is different from the others in almost every respect. It has one single point of view (that of Prince Vince); it's a one-shot; and the IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming comes from the song of the same name by Music/OwlCity rather than from a Creator/{{Disney}} fairy tale.

* ThePowerOfLove: Invoked using a CallBack to a quote of Lydia's from the episode "Doomie's Romance."

* TravelMontage: Invoked, no less; this is how BJ and Lydia comb the Neitherworld in search of his missing juice.

** CurseEscapeClause: Invoked; the lack of one of these is actually the biggest clue that the curse isn't a curse.

* LoveTriangle: Discussed; Prince Vince remarks that he hates them for being so overused in fiction.

* FunetikAccent: Jacques, as in the show, speaks GratuitousFrench with a heavy French accent, and his lines of dialogue are written to reflect this. When Dr. Zigmund Void shows up later in the series, his German-ish dialogue is given the same treatment.
