As Erica rummages through her locker, we hear an embarrassed Ethan say: "Guys, just... Can't we do this in a girl-free zone?" Ethan glances at us and I raise a brow at him. Benny turns around, winks at me and then he walks away. Next, Ethan speedwalks up to Benny and Rory to catch up to them. Then, we turn our attention over to Erica. "So, how was your date last night?" Sarah asks her. "Ah! Amazing. Kurt is so McYummy. We went out for dinner, and then we went to go see Super Dead IV. It was... perfect," Erica relays the memories as she lets out a happy sigh. "Do you mean regular date perfect, or vampire date perfect?" Sarah quizzes with a skeptical expression. "You know I don't bite and tell," Erica responds as she flashes her fangs. After she says this, she walks away from us, leaving Sarah and I looking at each other with worried expressions. Then, we walk to class.

Sometime later, we see Rory, Benny, the gym coach, and Ethan with his pants down showing his 'space' underwear, covered with multiple rockets. I cover my mouth to stop myself from laughing. "Space theme, huh?" Sarah questions with amusement in her tone. "I would've guessed Spider-Man," I joke with a chuckle. Then, Sarah and I go to our next class.

I walk out of school with my backpack straps on my shoulders and my car keys in hand. I walk over to my car when I see Ethan and Sarah talking with one another. I smirk and make a "Hmph" noise with a smirk while crossing my arms. I hear footsteps behind me and I turn around to see Benny. "Whatcha looking at, beautiful?" He inquires with his signature smirk. I ignore him and state: "Sarah and Ethan are talking to one another. I have no doubts she and Ethan will become a couple anytime soon," I explain, crouched behind a bush with a small smile on my face. He crouches down at my height, beside me, closer to my face. "When do you think we'll become a couple?" He asks with the smirk, evident on his face. 

I give him an unamused look. "When pigs fly," I state, rolling my eyes as I stand up. Then, I walk away from him to my car. Then, I hear his footsteps pick up speed as he chases after me. "Wait! I can buy you a pig and make it fly!" He shouts after me. I let out an amused chuckle then I proceed to open my car door and hop in. Next, I look behind me to make sure I don't run into any students or Benny. Benny stands a safe distance from my car with a pout evident on his face. He notices me staring with a confused look and decides to blow a kiss toward me. I keep reversing and I leave the school's parking lot to my home.

The next day, after school, Sarah drags me along with her to keep an eye out for any sign of Kurt to see if Erica turned him. We peek out from a car and Erica questions: "What... do you two think you're doing?" We turn around, startled with worried looks toward her. "Uh... we were... just--" Sarah tries to come up with an explanation. "I know. You two were spying on him. You guys think I turned him, didn't you?" Erica asks. "Trust issues, much? Some friends!" Erica responds back, hurt. I look down at the ground, guilty that I hurt my friend's feelings. "We were just--" Sarah tries to elaborate. "Meh!" Erica stops her. "Erica!" Sarah exclaims in a frustrated tone. Both of us sigh and we see Erica stroll toward Kurt and greet him. She greets him and then feels his abs before walking away from him. 

Then, Sarah and I walk toward Kurt and we greet the guys around him. Sarah and I talk to Kurt to try and see if there were any signs that he was bitten. After this, I leave Sarah and I see Benny looking at me with an angry pout on his face while crossing his arms. "What?" I question with a raised brow. "I don't like the way you're 'canoodling' with Kurt," he states with an annoyed tone. "It's not just me, it's Sarah too," I point out. "By the way, it's not in they way that you think," I state. "I still don't like it," he states. "Well, you're just going to have to deal with it for a bit longer," I comment with a smile as I ruffle his hair. "See ya," I say goodbye to Benny.

The next night, we see Ethan in pain on a bench, surrounded by Benny and Rory, because of his fight with Kurt. "Ethan, are you insane?" Sarah fearfully questions as we run over to him with worried expressions. "You don't know what you're up against. This guy is unstoppable," I comment. "I guess that's why you two like him," Ethan remarks. Benny frantically nods in agreement with him as he looks at me. I roll my eyes and facepalm. "We don't like him," I state the obvious. "Come on. We saw you two watching him, talking, laughing, canoodling," Ethan says in an irritated tone. "Mad canoodling," Benny states with his arms crossed. "Noodle what?" Sarah asks with a perplexed expression. "Look, we thought Erica turned him into a vampire, so we were watching him," I elaborate. "I even checked his neck for bite marks-- which was hard since he's so ticklish-- but we do not like him," Sarah clarifies.

 Then, Ethan starts talking to the air for no reason and I give a confused look to Sarah. She shrugs, but we let him do his thing. Benny suggests using magic, but Ethan tells him the ghost won't allow it. "Then think of something. Everybody has a weakness, right? Just find it and exploit it," Sarah responds. Suddenly, Ethan gets pulled up and he starts making faces of pain. Then, he goes down onto the floor, tormented by whatever is torturing him. "Just please stop. Leave me alone," Ethan begs. "Looks like he's practicing new ways to beg for mercy. Smart!" Rory exclaims with a grin. "It's no use. I can't win. I've never won a fight. Ever," Ethan says, starting to give up. "False. Remember that time in grade two when I took your Pokemon lunchbox? You whipped me good. I almost cried," Benny states as his grin falters to a frown, his voice cracking. "Grade two... That gives me an idea. Thanks, Benny," Ethan states as he goes over to the wrestling mat.

Ethan and Kurt square off against each other. Ethan charges at him and goes under his legs. He starts attacking from behind and wraps his arms around his waist in a weird, nerd hug. Sarah and I look at the scene unfold in shock. Kurt struggles to get out of Ethan's grasp. "The 'snuggy bear hug!' He's got it locked on. There's no escape!" Benny announces as he spectates the match. Then, Ethan pushes Kurt down and he starts to tickle him. Sarah and I look at this action in amusement. 

The whistle blows and the coach stops the match, declaring Ethan the winner. Our new... champion!" Rory, Benny, Sarah, and I cheer for Ethan's victory, and so does the crowd on the bleachers. The coach hands Ethan a trophy and he stares at it with amazement. "Way to go!" Rory exclaims with joy as he congratulates Ethan. All of a sudden, I get picked up and spun around by none other than Benny. I shout in surprise as he does this and he puts me down, still cheering. I clear my throat and we break apart with our arms crossed, and my gaze moved to the floor. Then, I look up and I see Sarah glance at me with a grin.

Suddenly, we hear Kurt yell over to Ethan. "Hey, you know what!? I will not be beaten by a geek!" He starts to charge toward Ethan and Sarah punches him while I crouch down and kick his legs, making him fall down to the ground, unconscious. "Update: you got beaten by a geek and two girls," Sarah states with a grin. "Go get yourself a new shirt," she finishes. Sarah and I chuckle and Ethan says to us: "Thanks, but... I could have taken him," in a confident tone. Benny and Rory laugh at him while I shake my head. Sarah and Ethan start to talk to one another and I leave them to it. I cross my arms and I look at them with a small smile. Then, Benny wraps his arm around my shoulders. "So, you, me, watching Skull Stealers III, this Saturday?" I contemplate for a moment while putting a finger to my chin.

On Saturday night, instead of a movie theatre, we went to Ethan's place to watch it there. Sarah, Ethan, Benny, and I sit together on the couch while Rory and Jane take the floor. Screaming and chopping could be heard from the television. Benny and I share popcorn, and he looks at the television in pure horror, while I just enjoy the popcorn. "You gotta admit, watching Skull Stealers III beats having to shake and stake a vamp any day," Ethan comments. "Just slightly," Sarah states. Suddenly, Sarah's cellphone rings and I assume it's Erica calling her. Then, she hangs up and we continue to watch the movie.
