Radicles took a deep breathe. He gazed up at Enid's creepy looking purple mansion and rang the doorbell. It felt cold, icy cold against his blue finger. He's never been there before and it was quite strange to him to meet such a typical angsty, goofy, teen, only for her to have a rather ominous looking house. "Man, KO must be having a hell of a time with Carol at Rick E. Cheese right about now..." The alien thought as sweat trickled from his chin.

A tall, slender, vampire lady with dark skin and purple hair opened the door. She hissed at Rad.

"AHHHH! I mean– I'm not scared of you! Bring it on, lady!" Rad put up his fists.

The vampire's hiss turned into a cheerful laugh. Rad raised an eyebrow, looking confused as a scared puppy.

"MOM! Stop trying to scare the guests!" Enid called from within the house.

"THAT'S YOUR MOM?!" Rad gasped.

"I know, it's embarrassing." Enid blushed.

"Your mom's a vampire?! COOL!" Rad said as he ran inside.
"Come in! Come in! I'm Wilhelmina by the way! You're welcome to stay as long as you'd like!"
"Call me the awesome, the bodacious, Radicles!" Rad stopped running and posed once he said this. Enid rolled her eyes.

"Ha ha ha! Yes! My daughter told me all about you! In fact she used to write poems about how-"
"Ok ok mom! I th-think that's enough!" Enid covered the Wilhelmina's mouth, feeling super embarrassed. Her face was a tomato red.

"What poem? Huh...? For me?" Rad grinned sneakily.

"Uhh uh uhhh..." Enid melted into the floorboards.

"I saved a copy of it from all these years!" Wilhelmina lifted up an old piece of paper.

Rad took it and squinted looking at the words. He began to read it slowly:
"Rad, your...face...reminds me... of how... the big... blue ocean... sparkles..."

Enid threw a ninja star through it. She then cut it into small pieces.

"Never, ever, show him any of my past stuff, mom!" Enid growled.

"Aww... That's too bad. I was gonna show him your baby pictures!" Wilhelmina smiled as she got out a family picture book.

"Ugh... Just... where's dad anyway?!" Enid asked trying to change the subject.

"He was having a hard time... controlling his animal instincts." Wilhelmina frowned seriously. He eyes turned blood red and glowed, her pupils slit. Rad and Enid shivered.

"I think he's fine, now!" Her creepy face suddenly turned back into a smile.

"Oh thank goodness! For a second I thought he had rabies." Enid sighed with relief.

All of a sudden, a wolfman with purple fur kicked the door down. "What's this I hear about rabies?!" He roared.

"WOAH!" Rad jumped into Enid's arms. Enid dropped him on the ground.

"Don't be scared, Rad. That's just my husband, Bernard. He loves to kick down our doors." Wilhelmina giggled.
Bernard sniffed the air and then went up to Rad. "Hey... Sorry 'bout scarin' ya. You must be that blue man Enid always talks about. Ain't that right Enid?" Bernard smirked baring sharp teeth. Enid crossed her arms and growled in anger. "That's right! Just like how I taught you to growl!" He gave her a noogie.

"Nice to meet you um... Benard?" Rad shook his hand making a derp face.
"Nice to meet you too! You look... Delicious." Bernard drooled. His wife gently pushed him away.
"Now now, Berny! Self-control! Besides, you have to make dinner!" Wilhelma began to sweat.

"Rrrrright! Dinner!" The purple werewolf ran into the kitchen on all fours.
Enid grinded her teeth. Even though her parents were ok with her being a ninja, they still embarrassed her greatly. "You enjoyin' yourself? Or are you distracted by my sparkly. Blue. Radiant. Ocean-skin?" He got closer to her face with each word.

"Yes... It's just... Peachy." Enid said between gritted teeth. "Aww you two look so adorable together! Reminds me of this old picture of you and Rad in Elementary school..." The vampire said
"DON'T SHOW THAT!" Rad and Enid yelled simultaneously.

"OK OK!" The vampire snapped and the book poofed away. "Why don't we watch some movies?"

"Like... what kind of movies?" Rad asked.

"Lame ones, trust me." Enid commented.

"We've got "Bats and Beauty", "Pirates of the Woofabian", and my favorite... "The Mummy's Curse"! Ooooo!" Wilhelma wiggled her long nailed fingers.

"Lame, lame, and... Seen it. Let me look through this stuff." Enid said, tossing the movies aside. She took a peek at the shelf and looked through all the dusty movies they had.

"How about this?" She showed them a werewolf movie.
" "Attack of the Teenage Werewolf?" PERFECT!" Wilhelma smiled.

"NICE!" Rad's muscles bulged.

"Cool. Let's just sit back, watch, and hope those two stupid ghosts don't mess with us."
"Yeah, hun."
"Uh...G-ghosts?" Rad stuttered a bit.

"Yeah. We've got ghosts in the basement. Don't worry. They're just annoying dorks. Nothing to get all scared about." Enid shrugged before putting the VHS tape into the VCR.

The three watched the horror comedy movie for about an hour. Enid and her mom laughed at some parts, and even screamed at some parts, but Rad... he felt... Strange. As if he was supposed to see the movie, as if he was supposed to experience the main character's transformation. His hands trembled just thinking about it. "Um... Rad? Are you ok? You've been laughing until the second act." Enid asked, her eyes almost looking cat-like.

Before he could tell them what's wrong, he flinched at the sound of a gong and Bernard saying "DINNER'S READY!"

"WOAH! Alright I'm starving!" Rad smiled.
"It's... not the kind of food you think it is, Rad. Follow me." Enid said as got up and walked. Rad followed her. Her mom turned into a bat and flew into the dinning room. She then turned back to normal near the table and kissed her husband.

They all sat at the long table. A pumpkin kid and a kid that looked like Frankenstein's monster put silver platters covered in lids on the table.

"Mmmm It smells so good! What is it?" Rad smiled.
"Well, we got Macaroni and eyeballs, Brainagetti and some fresh unspecified greens! Enjoy!" Brendan said as they lifted the lids.

Rad's smile slowly turned into a disgusted grimace.
"Wow... That sure is...tasty..." Rad tried his hardest not to sound disgusted.

"Thanks!" Brendan said as he sat next to Rad. His breath smelled like dog bones. "I'll make sure you eat it all! Makes ya nice and plump! Big and strong!" He smirked.

"Uh... yeah... but I already am...Big and strong." Rad Shoved an eyeball in his mouth trying not to barf.

"Eat up anyway! Enjoy it!" Brendan nommed his own plate. He still couldn't take his eyes off Rad's flesh.

"So, Enid... How's that KO kid you always talk about?" Wilhelma asked as she ate the Brainagetti.

"He's good. Just hanging out with his mother at Rick E. Cheese's." Enid fiddled with her meaty pasta.

"Oooh! How adorable!" Wilhelma said between bites.

"Yeah... I guess so." Enid said before shoving a mouthful of zombie brain into her mouth.

She then coughed it out once she heard Rad scream, and a "Chomp" sound. She and her mom turned and feasted their eyes on Rad and Bernard in horror. Bernard's sharp teeth were covered in crimson red blood as a chunk of Rad's flesh hung out of his mouth. Rad rubbed his bleeding arm, trying not to tear up from the pain. He couldn't stop starring at the werewolf in fear.

"BERNARD CONTROL YOURSELF, DEAR!" Wilhelma teleported and pulled the wolf by the ear.

"OW OW OW! I couldn't dear! He just looked s-so tasty! OW OW!" Bernard cried.

"I'm so sorry, Enid, I shouldn't of known his animal instincts still weren't in control...I oughta put the cone on your head, Bernard!"

"W-will Rad turn into a werewolf?!" Enid asked.
"He's an alien! Not even a human! I'm sure he won't. Now go wash off that bite of his. I gotta give Bernard a stern talking to!" She growled dragging the whimpering werewolf into the bathroom.

Rad just stood there holding his bleeding arm.
"Rad! Are you ok?!" Enid put a hand on his arm.

"Just... Peachy." Rad mysteriously said.
