Not One of Us

Another night on the boardwalk and Sams' eldest is gabbing with her new Santa Carla friends again about this Twilight thing. We are all watching them now, this was nearly every night they talked about it as if they are talking about real people, not fictional characters.

:: What is so damned great about this movie they seen?:: Dwayne asks us mentally.

:: I think it's a book or both. I also think Markos' been sneaking teen girls my stash for a few years now, seen a lot act like they been on mind altering drugs.:: Paul not only sounds bored, he looks it, but we kinda all are.

:: So it has girls this wild over it? Must be some chick flick that's pretty good.:: Brandy says, a little curious.

:: Or maybe it has subliminal messages making these girls gabb so much about it.:: David rolled his eyes.

:: I think it's been out a few years, but then not like girls find coming to the Boardwalk the place to talk about movies.:: I say with disinterest, it was true, who came to a theme park to talk about movies?

:: Looks like you been spotted Mike, her comes the niece and her friends.:: Mercedes looks indifferent as Lisa walks up, the rest of the girls stoping in their tracks, eyes a little wide. They are all locals who know better.

" Seriously, I don't know how you know my dad, but you and your, uh." Lisa glances at us a little nervously, the fact she had just walked up to a gang that gave off an air of menace sinking in. " But yea, can you guys like not be staring at us?"

David leaned across his bike, looking at her with a penetrating gaze. " Would you rather we play with you?" There was a hint of mocking in the cold tone of his voice. This got everyone to chuckle, I only smiled.

" Lisa, just hanging out, can't help it if we find you interesting to watch, don't have to worry." I tell her in a reassuring way.

" Pssh, worried, I'm not worried. So you guys like to hang out, bet you do fun stuff?" Lisa then smirks.

Oh no, this wasn't a good sign, Sam said she liked trying to hang out with the bad crowds and anything that Sam would be against. And you technically couldn't get badder than The Lost Boys and her new friends being locals would have told her all kinds of rumors by now and how dangerous we are. Only we are out of her league, wannabes are just lunch, she wouldn't be allowed to hang out, not without it ending in her being humiliated and crushed emotionally. Something I wouldn't mind doing to anyone else, Sams' kid, not so much.

" We don't take kids if you're looking. You don't have what it takes to be one of us kid." David states, looking amused by Lisas' bravado to hint at her hanging with us.

" Oh, I think I do, I'm not some daddys' little girl, I can handle myself and just as tough as any of you guys. I do what I want, I don't need no rules." Lisa really had no idea how this was paramount to a death wish...

I hope I don't end up dragging her home telling Sam she tried to join us. Oh yea that will sound good, hey Sam, doofus your kid just tried to get David to let her join us, she's lucky her drained corpse wont be feeding the fish. That's what happened to most kids that ask to join. You got chosen, not the other way around. We deem anyone who asks us if they can join as food, cause if we didn't notice you and come to you, you obviously aren't worth our time and don't belong.

" Oh really?" David was still amused, Paul and Marko chuckled again. " Tell you what." David sneers. " Maybe you can hang with us, if you tell us why you and other girls like you." David stressed the word you as if to single out that she doesn't fit in with us. " Tell us why you find that movie so great that you have to obsesses over it all the time?"

Lisa mouth sort of opens and closes, she seemed unable to think of words to say, though her mind said as much that she figured she'd be thought of as pathetic, though too late for that, Davids just humoring her. I wasn't sure what to think of the fact I'd rather eat my niece than keep her out of trouble. She's lucky she's Sams' kid. The thoughts where defensive about the movie, for whatever reason, it was just a movie, but she didn't want to say anything and end up being laughed off for it, but the bad boys of the Boardwalk.

" It's a love story, it's about girl who just moves to a town and feels unwanted till she meets Edward and falls in love." She says, seeming unsure how we;d take it. " It's a girl thing, you're guys, so you wouldn't understand it." She says, not as cocky as with me and Paul the other night, but not subdued either.

" Oh, hey Mercedes, we're guys now!" Brandy starts giggling.

" I noticed, hum, well Dwayne, how do you like being hooked up with a guy?" Mercedes looks at Dwayne with this amused expression.

" I didn't mean like that, uh, you'd have to see it to know what I mean, but it really isn't a guys movie, don't know if." Lisa gets cut off by Brandy.

" Girls like us would like it?" Brandy taunts her. " And you think to ask to hang with us when you are nothing like us?"

" Well..." Lisa start looking embarrassed and probably feeling a little humiliated.

" You can hang out." This gets us all looking at David. " Only here, you can't handle anything else kid." David states looking at her with this serious expression.

:: You're turning my niece into a wannabe hanger on?:: I mentally groan at David.

:: She's already a wannabe Micheal, at least she'll be easier for you to keep an eye on, as long as she doesn't get annoying.:: Davids mental response was casual. :: Sides she amuses me. For now.::

" Alright, but you'll see, I'm not just some little kid." Lisa nods and heads back to her group of shocked friends.

:: Who's down for how long it takes for her to get traumatized for life? I give her three days before she ticks one of us off.:: Marko announces.

:: I give it half a night, we're not counting tonight.:: David stares out at the girls.

:: Probably take longer, she seems more interested in her friends, four nights.:: Dwayne says.

:: I'll go with three like Marko.:: I say.

:: Two.:: Paul snickers.

:: One day since David's giving her half a night.:: Mercedes also looking at the girls.

:: Eh, three sounds good to me as well.:: Brandy, three sounded like the lucky number.

Lisa walks back over to us, her friends still looking a little shocked at her interaction. " Um you really want to know what the movies about... There's a late night rerun showing of it at the theater." Lisa says, we all glance between each other.

:: Chick flick, borrriiinnnggg..:: Paul sounds out threw our heads.

:: I haven't seen a good romance in some time, I say we go.:: Brandy sounded interested and was looking at Lisa.

:: Yea, me neither, we're always doing what you guys want to do and find fun, we are women after all and a good romance won't kill you, you might learn to be civilized.:: Mercedes lets out a cackle.

:: Fine, but can't say we never did anything for you girls and might get some use out of it, may give an idea on making it easier to pick up late night snacks.:: David smirked and looked towards Lisa and then speaks to her. " We're curious, so we're in."

Lisa didn't look to sure about us seeing this movie. I had a feeling we'll get more than bored and gagged by sickly sweet romance.
