It's Dracula, Charlie Brown

Chapter 1

Nightfall Spooks

It was about two in the morning when Patty awoke to the flapping of bat wings. Turning over to see her best friend, she decided to figure out what the flapping was all about. "Up and at 'em, Marcie. We're going Vampire Chasing" the tomboy explained, shaking her best friend awake. "Vampire chasing?" Marcie questioned as Patty nodded her head in approval.

"Sir...I'm not sure about this!" a quivering voice exclaimed as she pulled the purple sleepmask over her blue eyes. "Marcie, you're chicken!" Peppermint Patty replied, cackling witch-like as she dragged Marcie out of the room and on the front porch where Lucy was waiting for them. "If you're chasing vamps, I'm coming" the fussbudget told the polar opposites.

"I..I..I agree with M..m...Marcie, P..p...Pa...Patty" Lucy shivered, hugging Marcie in a fearful way. "Chill Lucille, a vampire isn't real so we WON'T see one" the tomboy reassured as she held Marcie's hand lovingly. Lucy grumbled as the three walked into the dark, spooky house.

Patty raced into the house as Lucy and Marcie stuck close together. "Lucy, I'm scared!" the bespectacled girl squeaked as she hugged the fussbudget. "Marcie..Lucille, I'm sure that was just the wind" Patty replied as the two brunettes quivered in fear. "Are you sure, Patricia?" Lucy questioned.

After tons of searching, the three girls walked out of the house; well Patty walked out of the house while Lucy and Marcie fled in fear. Panting, Marcie was struggling to catch up to the other two girls when a bat flew on her shoulder. "Hi little bat" Marcie innocently said as the creature bit her.

Patty and Lucy were almost at the former's home when they noticed that the shy nerd wasn't with them. "Marcie, get back here on your little Bobby Orr legs!" the tomboy barked as they waited restlessly by the side of the road. "I'm here Sir" the shy girl exclaimed as she scampered towards her best friend and her crush's psychiatrist.

"Nice bite marks, Marceline" Lucy teased as she walked ahead of the two girls. "Lucille, get back here!" Patty roared as Marcie wandered around confused. "Why do I feel like drinking blood?" the bespectacled girl thought before shrugging it off. "Must be my mind playing tricks on me" she hesitated.
