Hey guys! This is my first fanfiction for My Babysitter's A Vampire, and I want it to be memorable since I love the show! In case you didn't know, Della was the girl at the popcorn stand in the movie, and the girl with the dead dog in the TV series. Obviously I don't own MBAV, and all that jazz. Enjoy!
It was a beautiful day in Whitechapel. There was not a cloud in the sky, and the temperature was perfect for the spring. The morning gave no signs of being anything but normal. So, naturally, Benny expected a magical creature to jump out of a locker at any moment.
"You've got to be kidding!"
The 14-year-old whirled around, fumbling around in his pockets for his spray gun. He found it and aimed it at his attacker, but when he looked up, his cry of "Eat holy water, beast!" died in his throat. Luckily Ethan was in too bad a mood to notice.
"Star Trek is better than Star Wars? In what universe?"
Stuffing the gun back into his sweater pockets, Benny sighed. He should have known Ethan would look at his blog. "Well, it's undeniably more realistic."
Ethan recoiled in horror. "I don't even know you anymore," he said, shocked. "Besides, how can you of all people say that? We've used lightsabers ourselves! We've fought mythical beasts! How can we be sure that anything doesn't-"
"Shhhhh!" whispered Benny suddenly, slapping a hand over his friend's mouth. Ethan continued to talk, or tried to, but Benny didn't notice. Della was leaning against her locker, looking paler and more stressed than when Puffles died. But that wasn't the only difference. She was… beautiful. Benny disliked using that word, even in his head, but it seemed to be a better description than just "hot."
"Don't talk about vampires!" Benny whispered angrily, removing his hand from Ethan's mouth.
"Why? We're already considered nerds, it's normal for us. By the way, how often do you wash your hands?"
"Exactly! No nerd talk in front of Della!" Benny looked at her intently, trying to figure out what was different. She opened her locker, and the door obscured her from view, but the teenager was still puzzled.
"Benny, she looks like she's in a bad mood. This is not the time to 'make a move' or whatever." Ethan also sounded confused, and Benny could tell that he noticed the difference too.
"Well, you took away my chance at prom, so now I'm taking it back." Benny smoothed back his hair and walked over, smiling in a way that failed to make him look handsome, and instead was slightly creepy.
"Are you forgetting the fact that I almost became a fledgling at that prom?" shouted Ethan behind them, drawing the attention of several students. Ethan blushed and stared at the ground.
"Hey, Della, uh… hi?" said Benny. He saw her body stiffen, though her face was still hidden. "I just wanted to, um… see if you were ok." The teenager thought he heard a growl. "No," said Della, panting as if in pain, "now make it quick."
"Yeah, see, I think you never fully understood about your dog… Um, that was just… Just… a bracelet I made you! Yeah. I put Puffles' name on it, and it fell in the salsa. So, I was wondering… you know, maybe sometime… Do you want to come over?"
Silence.
"I just thought… since we killed vampires together… you know…"
More silence. Benny heard a faint metallic scraping sound, like a knife being sharpened. Della removed her head from her locker. She was smiling, though her face looked a bit… off. "You know what, Benny? I will go out with you. Down with the vampires, right?" She kissed him on the cheek. And just like that, she disappeared.
"What just happened?" said Ethan, who had just walked up.
"I have no idea," said Benny faintly, "but the first thing I'm going to do is rent all the Star Wars movies."
