The missing link

Welcome to the other side

Farrah are you ready to go? Addison asked me the night we were gonna head out to go to Zombietown. Sure Addison I called to her on the other side of our room. Tonight I wasn't going as "myself" I was gonna go the way I wanted but took my bag with me with my blonde wig and blue contacts.

Are you sure you want to do that? She asked me. Before I turned around and she saw how I was dressed (outfit 1) (with a pair of black leggings under) Well Addi it really doesn't matter because I'm a zombie at heart even if I'm really a human and the other zombies have already seen what I really look like with the one green eye and the one blue eye with my recently kind of.... Black and red hair.

That I dyed for you since you can't dye yours. You like him don't you? She asked me as she pulled her wig on tacking her cheerleading pink jacket that reminded me of the pink ladies in Greece. Who? I asked brushing out my hair packing my bag. What do you mean who? She asked me.

Exactly that Addi. Besides missing link or not I'm required to wear a Z-band and a leather jacket but I made mine and I was allowed to leave the basement to do things like theatre. But I'm just human enough that I could stay on the human side. And he was just zombie enough to be on the zombie side. She finished.

Who? I shrugged. Jason. You're other half? She asked me. Yeah so? Together we just make one freak. At least to Seabrook. Anyways despite this isn't the first time we're meeting them it is our first time going to their side and sneaking out. First impressions and all that stuff.

Ok whatever you say but your secret is safe with me. There is no secret Addison. Ok, then the word is delusional. Denial is the clencher. You said I liked him not that I was in love with him I shake my head. Denial is the clencher for love not a crush that I don't have.

Anyways I'm pretty excited to go to the other side tonight and even sneak out. I'm glad you are cause I'm trying not to freak out. I've never broken the rules before. Well we better go before you psych yourself out. So we head out and the guys meet us at the gate. Hey. Hi. You look great. Jason tells me. It's just a dress. I say smoothing it out.

Not just the dress you're you. You're not hiding anything. I'm excited to be here. Yeah, well I'm trying not to freak out Addison admits. Come on let's go. You ok? I ask Zed. Yeah you don't look so hot. Addison tells him. Ouch! He says in mock hurt. As we get onto the elevator up to the zombie hangout place.

I've been hacking my Z-band to win our games. Isn't that dangerous? Addison asks him. Yeah but if I didn't we wouldn't win and zombies would never be accepted and we needed a win. Yeah, I know what you mean. So this party is for you winning games? She asked. Not just me but for Jason and their opening weekend for B&B and for all zombies including honorary ones like Farrah.

You look great by the way. Way to let your freak flag fly. He bumps my fist. It's like you're really one of us. I mean I have my own Z-band and jacket. Look at that we've got 23 different ways to say the word brains in our language. So, you guys like girls with brains? Addison teases. But then Eliza comes over. You know how offensive that is?

No, no we were just joking. You brought a human to our zombie mash? Little miss cheer boots? Farrah's cool she's the closest one of us that there's ever been in the human world. And she doesn't do cheer her approve of. Farrah you wanna join us? Zed asked. Join you in what? Trust me it will be great just follow my lead. It's starting.

Jason takes my hand and pulls me along after them as they go rush off and Bonzo starts playing the music and green smoke covers the room. And I just do what Zed and Jason ask me to do. After all I'm a theatre person it was like learning chorography just like we did in B&B.

Yeah, that was so much fun. I told my sister as we went around the corner and heard his sister cheering like a cheerleader,

That was some awesome cheering. Addison says. Yeah, the best I've ever heard minus my sister. Don't be mean she nudges me. I wasn't doing anything surely not cheering. Meanwhile.... *Ug* you ok Zed? Jason asked him. I'll be ok Jason it's just that the z-band hack hurts. Yeah your wrist looks kind of red. Yeah, not to mention I can barely feel my wrist.

Meanwhile back to us.... You're Zed's little sister. Addison says. Yeah I'm Zoey and you're Addison and Farrah. You're great a cheerleading Zoey. Addison tells her. Yeah but my dog Zander isn't so impressed. Yeah know I think you're old enough to have a real pet. Addison says. Don't tease her you guys know they don't allow zombies to have pets.

No we had no idea we're still learning that zombies aren't anything we were taught. We? Sorry, not we you know more than I do. Since you're the missing link and all. Whatever that really means despite that you're more human than you are zombie minus the z-band and jacket requirement and Jason doesn't need either.

I mean look at you Eliza. You're cool and smart and pretty. You think I'm pretty? Then Zed and Jason come around the corner. Zoey what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. Zed tells her. Please like I'm gonna miss a zombie mash. Now who are my good boys? She cooes.

Woof! Zed barks. Woof Jason barks. That's so cute. I giggle. Yeah, well Zed has always been like a brother to me and I'm an only child so Zoey is like a little sister to me I pretty much live at their house rather than my own. It's taught me to not be a stereotypical only child "growing up with siblings."

Even if they're not my own. Alright I'll take you home Eliza tells Zoey picking her up. Jason and Zed have to make sure Farrah and Addison get back ok. Hey Eliza we should all hang out sometime. I tell her. Yeah and I love your boots Addison compliments. Hey, they're pretty cool. I was wrong about Addison. Yeah for a human right? No they're just cool she shrugs. Hey wait. I stop them. Don't forget Zander. Addison picks him up giving him to her. See ya. We wave after her. Bye she calls after us.
