I do not own The Lost Boys. I only own Tiffani and Lexi.

Story Start

"It's too early," Tiffani whined as the girls were sitting at the complimentary breakfast in the hotel lobby. She pouted at the table before a plate full of pumpkin muffins and a large cup of coffee were set down in front of her. "Best friend ever," she cheered at Lexi, who was drinking coffee while setting down her plate of waffles.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm just surprised that you didn't want waffles," Lexi said giving her friend an odd look. They usually had waffles if waffles were being served somewhere.

"I couldn't resist the pumpkin muffins. I love pumpkin muffins, well I love a lot of muffins; chocolate chip, apple cinnamon, blueberry, pumpkin, cranberry, and you get the picture," her friend said happily before biting into a defenseless pumpkin muffin.

"Just think that you won't be able to eat those things after you turn into a vampire," Lexi said trying to give her food-loving friend a reason not to become one of the undead.

"Not true, the guys can eat human food, for goodness sakes Paul kept trying to steal my funnel cake last night more times than I will try to count," Tiffani refuted with a smile before taking another bite of the food.

"Well there goes that reason," Lexi muttered before continuing, "but you need to find a job today and so do I before my date with Michael."

"But I just want to party all the time," her friend muttered even though she was receiving the serious look from Lexi.

"Not allowed, now finish up your food and let's go job hunting," Lexi said trying to go into mother mode for the morning, which was surprising since she usually was half-dead in the mornings anyways.

"I can already tell you we're not going to find anything legal around here for work," Tiffani said with a smirk thinking about all the times she watched the movie.

"Just wait," Lexi muttered before the girls headed towards their hotel room. They threw on nice but still comfortable clothes to go ask for jobs.

However, Tiffani was correct. Every place they asked for a job was either not hiring or told them, they would have to find something illegal. Lexi was growing more frustrated with every place they stopped and the only place they had not checked was Max's video store on the boardwalk.

"We don't have any other choice right now," Lexi grumbled while pulling her friend towards the store. She hoped that Max was not there yet since it was still day-time. It was close to the sun setting but not for another hour. "He shouldn't even be there, I hope," she said trying to get her friend to go inside the store.

"Sure, but he'll be here later, and if we work here then we will have to deal with him at some point in time," Tiffani said while digging her heels into the wood floor underneath her of the boardwalk.

"Just get in there and ask for applications," Lexi yelled pushing her friend through the doors, which almost made Tiffani fall flat on her face.

"I'm not doing your makeup later for your date with Michael," Tiffani hissed before putting on a smile as she walked towards the woman at the counter, which turned out to be Lucy, Michael's mother.

"Oh hello," Lucy said politely before offering how she could help the two women. However, her face lit up when she saw Lexi, who Michael had been talking to her about after a bit of bothering him for details. "You must be Lexi, it's good to finally meet you," the woman said.

Tiffani pushed Lexi towards the counter as she backed away towards the door. "You two enjoy talking and get the applications. I'm going to go down to the beach and build a sand castle," she said before giving her a friend a big salute. She ran out of the store as fast as she could while laughing. "Escape plan was a success," she thought even thought she had just come up with the plan in the moment.

Lexi enjoyed talking to Michael's mom, but she had to excuse herself after a little bit to track down her friend. The two girls returned to the hotel and Tiffani did help Lexi with her makeup even if she had said she would not. Tiffani did want her friend to have a great date tonight. Lexi read some of a book she had to calm her nerves before the girls returned to the boardwalk.

Tiffani was excited and a little anxious about seeing the guys tonight. She did not know what the interaction with the bite between herself and Paul had meant, but she was interested to find out. Lexi gave her a big hug before Michael appeared to take her friend on the date.

"Take care of her, Michael," Tiffani yelled at the retreating pair.

"I will," Michael yelled back before smiling at Lexi, who was looking back at her friend.

"Please be careful tonight," Lexi yelled as loud as she could to get her point across to Tiffani.

"I'll be fine, just go have fun," Tiffani said with a wink before she ran towards a cotton candy kiosk. "Sugar," she cheered before buying a purple cotton candy.

"So would you like to come have dinner with my family tomorrow?" Michael asked Lexi as they walked hand in hand around the boardwalk.

Lexi was surprised by the question, but she was happy to know he wanted her to meet his entire family at dinner. However, this invite made her nervous because of the fact that she would be getting closer to Michael, which would mean that she would have to stay in Santa Carla longer. She knew that Tiffani was either going to be killed or turned into a vampire if she stayed longer. "That sounds great," she told Michael for her answer even though she was going back and forth with her decision in her mind.

"Great, I have to warn you, my grandpa is a bit weird and his house is freaky, but I think you'll enjoy meeting my mom and my weird little brother," he told her giving her a big smile as he led her towards the arcade games.

"If I can be best friends with Tiffani, the queen of weird, then I will have no issue meeting your grandpa," Lexi told him with a wink, which made him laugh as they went towards a fighting game.

"I should not have had that sugar," Tiffani muttered with a bunch of giggles escaping her as she leaned against the railing of the boardwalk. She smiled down at the waves crashing against the sand below. A powerful gust of wind rushed past her and she fought with her hair to keep it out of her face. Her eyes watered a bit from the force of the wind before jumping when somebody's hands grabbed her shoulders.

"Still can't believe you bit Paul yesterday," Marko's voice reached her ears and she gave a small sigh of relief.

"He shouldn't have tried to take my food," she replied before turning around to face the mischievous vampire.

"Well I'm sure he'll know from now on, but are you ready to go hang out with the guys? Laddie missed you too," Marko said while moving his hands from her shoulders to her hips.

"Sure, but what are we going to do tonight?" she questioned as he slipped an arm around her waist, and she slipped an arm around his shoulders.

"We're taking you to where we live tonight, you'll love it," Marko said with a big grin as he led the way towards the guys, who were waiting with their motorcycles.
