MU With a ZING!

Chapter 07 - Get Ready, Get Set,Get Crackalacking?!

Marian was right on Mike's reaction when he heard what she did once she got back to the dormitory that night. She found her friends were in their room studying and her bats being the first to sense her as she flap by the window and waiting for Leda to let her in. The boys had been wondering what took her so long while the Gor-lamia seeing she did get the book but the look on her face reveal she had something big to tell them. The vampire seeing they were dying to know what happen and went into full details on what went down over at the ROR house, her little 'tic-in-one-line-tac' trick and Mike couldn't help as he laugh out loud at the end of that tale.

"Oh, wow, I can't believe you managed to pull that; oh man, if you only had a camera and took pictures then we could've really put those in the scrapbook or maybe in the school paper."

The cyclops could only imagine the look on that big dope's face and sure he'd think twice before underestimating someone like Marian. "Oh man, I bet Sulky didn't see that coming, not by a long shot!" The gang all agree with him and when morning came, the word seem to be circulating around campus and many were looking directly at their group, mostly at the vampire herself.

Marian had been surprised by how fast the word got out and seeing a lot of monsters were now focusing their attention onto her, given she was the hot topic for their ongoing conversations and hearing what they were saying even when they assume she was out of range.

The vampire had to admit that while it was nice to get notice by her peers she wouldn't let this get to her head, knowing that eventually it would die down as soon as the next major thing came to play and then they would turn their attention onto that instead. She had no qualms with that as she knew as long as she had Mike and her friends and focus on the more important things in their life like being top Scarers and making a name for themselves after graduation.

It was just another normal afternoon for them and with the last class finish, the gang decided to do their studying outside for a change. It was too good a day to pass up and the vampire didn't mind being in the sun as she still wore her jacket and the lotion to keep her skin from burning.

Marian had finish her fear essay and spare a glance over at her friends as Leda was busy jotting something in her notebook while Mike had Randall using his phobia cards to test him. The exercise was was simple enough as Mike had to guess what the proper terms were and so far hadn't gotten any wrong as of yet. He was doing pretty good for himself while tossing his ball at the same time and Marian couldn't help watching them go at it.

"Okay, gimme another one!" Mike was on a roll after answering the sixteenth question and Randall getting the next card out ready and asking, "Fear of spiders?"

"Arachnophobia!" That was obviously too easy that even her baby sister could've figure that out for sure but Randall flip the next card and asked another question, "Fear of thunder?"

"Keraunophobia!"

"Fear of chopsticks?" Now that raised Marian's eyebrows, wondering what kind of person had such fear over an eating utensil and looking to Leda who was also thinking the same herself.

"Consecotaleophobia. What is this, kindergarten? Give me a hard one."

Marian couldn't resist the wry smirk as she call out to them, gaining the cyclops' attention as she said, "Oh a hard one huh, well why don't you try this on for size then!"

She jump to her feet and quickly transformed, turning into a large snake, waiting for one of them to pipe, and hearing Leda immediately shouting, "Oh ophidiophobia!"

Marian changed again, this time into a wolf with green eyes. "Oh, I got this one: Cynophobia!"

"Sorry, Randall; it's a wolf which means is Luposlipaphobia."
