I just thought this would be kinda cool. Anyway, everyone knows about the winter chill dance right? Well, I thought I'd write a story about it. Enjoy!

Casper slowly floated to the ground, admiring the work he'd just finished. Naturally he took care of the ceiling decorations, seeing as how Mantha and Ra couldn't obviously couldn't reach it. Thatch couldn't turn into a bat, as he was still recovering, and Fatch had refused to do it. He just said that he'd be willing to do anything BUT that. It was so strange…

What are these decorations for? Good question. The answer is that they're for the winter chill dance. Winter was here, obviously, and the little creatures were ready to celebrate it. Next to Christmas, this dance was hugely celebrated here at scare school.

Casper caught sight of something, and almost immediately he flew over to catch Lexi as she was about to fall, a box full of decorations in her hands. The shadow girl smiled at her boyfriend, slowly getting back on her feet.

" Thanks Casper. "

The ghost smiled back softly.

" No problem. "

" I've been meaning to ask you Casper. What exactly IS the winter chill dance? "

Oh that's right. Since Lexi was a demon, she probably didn't know about the winter chill. Slowly the ghost began to explain.

" It's basically just a dance to celebrate winter. Everyone here loves it. "

" Oh. "

Lexi exclaimed.

" Well then, will you go with me to the winter chill dance? "

Casper began to blush furiously, but smiled warmly regardless.

" Of course! "

Mantha swiftly climbed the stairs, ready to get the railing decorations done and over with. Even though she hated decorating the rails of the stairs, she didn't want Ra to tie his bandages to the railing by accident again. It had literally taken them an hour to get him unstuck last time that happened. Once she got to the right side stairs, however, she was surprised to find a certain vampire sitting there, looking at his iPod. Although… he seemed a bit down. Which, with this vampire, was NOT a good thing. The zombie slowly sat beside the older creature, immediately getting him to look up.

" Oh hi Mantha. What's up? "

" Shouldn't you be helping? "

The prince snorted, leaning back against the steps.

" I already finished my jobs. I AM faster than everyone else. "

This was true.

" Well, is something wrong then? "

Fatch looked down again, seemingly having some trouble saying what he wanted to say.

" Um… d-do you know how to make me a little less… um… creepy? "

Mantha blinked, confused to say the least. This was Fatch Ramirez speaking here. He loved to be creepy and intimidating. Why would he ask…?

" Why would you worry about that? "

Fatch frowned, quickly stumbling to his feet.

" N-never mind. It's nothing. Forget that I asked. "

Before the zombie could say more, the vampire had rushed off, leaving her there stunned and confused.

It was lunch time around now, and Casper, Mantha, Ra and Lexi were the first ones to the table. Mantha turned to Casper and Lexi, smiling at how happy they looked. They were sitting side by side, holding each other's hands beneath the table. To be honest, the zombie found this to be adorable.

And another thing… she was a bit too lost in thought to focus on much else. That conversation she had with Fatch earlier had left her pondering it for a while now.

" … Hey Casper? "

She asked lightly, quickly getting the ghost's attention.

" Do you know what's wrong with Fatch right now? "

Casper could feel his eyes widen slightly.

" Something's wrong with Fatch? "

" Yeah. He's moping, and he asked me if I knew how to make him less creepy. "

This definitely caught the ghost's attention.

" I thought he liked being creepy… hmmm… maybe he's trying to impress a girl? "

" Oh come on Casper. I don't think Fatch really wants a relationship. "

" Well… "

A voice from behind them murmured, causing them to turn towards the sound. Behind them stood Thatch, who was struggling to carry his tray in his left hand. Slowly the vampire sat beside them, sighing in relief as he put his tray down.

" He DOES like this one girl named Amber. "

Mantha could feel her purple eyes narrow a bit at the unfamiliar name.

" Amber? "

" Amber Frost. I don't know what kind of creature she is, but he said he liked her, and I doubt he'd fall in love with a human. "

" How do you know this? "

Both Thatch AND Casper lowered their heads, clearly ashamed of whatever the reason was. Finally after some time, Thatch spoke up again.

" ... That demon... Septimus... read Fatch's journal to us. "

Mantha personally didn't know the demon, but figured it was someone who was messing with everyone. There was always someone who wanted to mess with them.

So Fatch had a crush huh? Mantha would've never guessed. He just didn't seem like the type to date. Maybe he'd feel to uncomfortable about himself or something. That could by why he didn't at least ask her out.

" So... "

Mantha began slowly.

" How do we hook them up? "

The entire table looked at her funny for that. The zombie girl smirked, crossing her arms.

" Well sure! It's a sure fire way to cheer him up ain't it? Besides, he'll love it! "

" Who love what? "

Mantha jumped, placing a hand on her head to keep it from popping off. Turning, she saw the fore-mentioned vampire standing there, his bagged lunch in his hands. Using one free hand, he placed it on his hip.

" What were you talking about? "

Mantha gulped, not knowing what to say. She couldn't just up and tell Fatch what they were planning, he'd flip out. So she had to think of something.

" I-I meant Slither! "

Fatch raised an eye.

" Slither? "

" Yeah! Didn't you hear? Dummygirl wants to ask him to the winter chill dance! "

The vampire blinked, seemingly confused. But it was still a good thing. Slowly he turned and walked off.

Mantha sighed and turned back to face a rather irritated Dummygirl.

" Sorry DG. But we can't just let Fatch know what we're doing you know. "

The puppet girl merely shrugged, returning to her food. Mantha sighed once more, going back to her own lunch. The idea itself seemed ok, but putting it into motion would be difficult. Just who was this girl? And how would they hook her up with Fatch?

Just a warning, there is a chance I won't be posting everyday. But I'll try my best.

P.s. I kinda feel like my stories are slipping... if you have any criticisms for me, please let me know. Even if its just to tell me my stories are lame...
