As Crystal entered the Lunch room, guitar on her back with her back pack in her hands, she scowered the area for her friends...To see that Frida and Zoe were waving her over to them at a table with a few seats still open at the table. "Hey Crystal!" Frida yelled as Crystal walked over to her 2 new friends, she sat down to find Frida REALLY close to her. "Do you have any musical talents? PLEASE TELL ME YOU DO!" Frida yelled as she gripped Crystal's shoulder to the point where Crystal flinched at the pressure. "Yeah, I do...I told the class remember?... I sing, dance, play a few instuments, but I play guitar best out of those instuments." Crystal replied, and she gave the right answer since Frida jumped up onto the table and raised her hands over her head.
"YES! THANK YOU!" Frida yelled at the sky, almost everyone looked at her as if she had gone loco. The boys walked up to the table just as Frida jumped off the table and gave Crystal a death-hug. "Will you PLEASE audition for my band? The auditions are later today at 4 PM." Frida asked Crystal as she continued the hug, Crystal gave a slight nod of approval. Instantly Crystal was let out of Frida's death-grip, yet she fell to the floor due to Frida hugging her out of her chair and over the ground. "Let me help you Crystal." Django offered his hand, which Crystal greatfully accepted. Crystal then leaned against a now blushing Django due to her having slight vertigo, yet before anyone else could spill their 2 cents a rumbling came from the Lunch room's door.
Everyone was then caught surprse when they saw that it was...THE ZOMBIES! Che and his Grandpa lead the group, and Che was holding a boquet of odd looking berries wrapped in a dark blue paper. "Che! General Chepuza!" Manny yelled, and all the kids besides Manny, Frida, Crystal, Django, Diego, Sergio, and Zoe ran out of the room. "El Tigre!" Manny yelled as he spun his belt buckle and turned into his Heroic persona, and got ready to fight. Yet Django, in skeleton form, stepped in front of him and stormed over to Che, who was now Django's hieght for some odd reason and his teeth were a bit straghter. "Leave Chepuza, your not allowed here." Django growled, yet Che just scoffed and pushed past Django and walked over to Crystal. "I didn't come for a stupid skeleton who I hate, I came for the beautiful witch who must be lonely and home sick." Che stated as he reached Crystal, and he held the boquet out for her to reach and easily take them, which she did.
"Deadly nightshade? Oh Che, thank you!" Crystal gushed as she dropped her backpack and hugged the zombie, who stuck his tongue out at a steaming-mad Django. "Si, I knew you missed them. So I brought some over to let you remember some of the Calevera magic." Che stated as he untangled himself with Crystal, who still beamed at him. "Yes I did miss them, thank you. Again." Crystal stated before plucking one of the dark purple fruits off the stem and eating it happily, a look of shock was on Zoe, Sergio, and Diego's faces. "Don't eat them Crystal! They're poisoness!" Zoe yelled as she yanked at Crystal's sleeve, yet Crystal smiled at her before giggling slightly. "Zoe, I don't affected by poison like you humans do." Crystal stated, which just made the "humans" give a more confused stare at Crystal.
"I'm a witch and death spirit. A death spirit can comunicate with the dead, can kill people with magic, steal souls, eat poison, can't feel all that much pain, can only die of REALLY old age when not married...And marry a semi or full dead being." Crystal stated, the last part made both Zoe and Frida giggle. "Si, and she is going to be MY grand daughter!" a all-to-familiar female voice boomed, then a large swirl of red dust appeared in the corner of the room...And Sartana, with a few skeleton banditoes, steped out of it. "No! She is going to be MY grand daughter!" General Chepuza yelled at her, then soon the 2 got into a argument. "Whoa, you mind explaining THAT to us Crystal?" Manny asked as he pointed over to the 2 still arguing seniors. "Sure, take a seat." Crystal stated as she walked over to a lunch table and sat down, and everyone (including General Chepuza and Sartana since they wanted to show their respect to Crystal) sat down with her.
(Bottom row: General Chepuza, Che, Crystal, Django, and Sartana. Upper row: Diego, Zoe, Manny, Frida, Sergio. At the table next to them was the other zombies and skeletons)
"I guess the best place to start is at the begining." Crystal stated before clearing her throat and taking a deep breath. "For eons the death spirits have had a kindled relationship with the dead and semi-dead, due to a legend. The legend fortold of a anciet Death Spirit named Black Fog, who was know for her death curses and hard retribution to love. Yet one day she was cursed to fall in love with the 1st 2 people she saw. So she hid in a seemingly desserted graveyard, where she met both a skeleton and zombie. Due to the curse she fell in love with both men, who fell in love with her in return. Yet they knew that their relationship could not go on, for a partial dead could not marry a non dead person. Black Fog found a spliting spell, while the 2 love of her life found a way to transform their half of her into a partial version of their species. So Black Fog did the spell, and made a exact replica of herself. And the 2 love of their lives turned them into either a partial skeleton and partial zombie, don't ask how that works out because then I have to go into biology, and they soon married. But due to the decretion of Death Spirits both Black Fog's cried due to their race not continuing on. Yet when they gave birth they found that their children would either inherit their father or mother's species. And that is how it was realised that the Death Spirit's race could go on, and that is how it has to be." Crystal stated, and by the end of it everyone felt like their brains were fried.
"Is that really what happened?" Zoe asked, Crystal shook her head no, much to the annoyance of the others. "No, but that IS the story us magical creatures are allowed to tell you mortals." Crystal stated before standing up and walking over to the large trashcan and looked at it before sighing. "Aren't we suppose to be in class?" Zoe asked right before the bell rang, signaling that everyone who got into their class past the bell had to serve detention. "Aww man! I don't want to serve detention!" Manny cried, yet Crystal only rolled her eyes before taking a large grey book out of her backpack. "Where is your school book?" Frida asked, Crystal glanced at her quickly before looking back at the book and turning to a page. "Locker, now shush!" Crystal whispered harshly before she turned to a page and stopped, after mumbling a few words dark pink slips of paper slipped into Manny, Frida, Zoe, Diego, and Sergio's hands. "Here you guys go! These slips are excuse notes saying you were helping the elderly eat their food, I sent 2 other slips to the principle to notify him that me and Django will be out of school for today. So peace!" Crystal stated as she stuffed her book into her bag, slinging her guitar over her shoulder, giving a hug to Frida and Zoe, then walking out of the Lunch room.
Django and Che glared at each other as they walked the same way Crystal was walking, and they were soon followed by General Chepuza, Sartana, the zombies, and the skeleton banditos. "Well...This should be interesting." Manny stated before he and the others walked away. No one knew how right he was.
