MONTHS AGO
What's that Gaga? You think I shouldn't update for months on end?
That's right Gaga. We're far too lazy to write anything, and the funniness has just kind of dried up!
YESTERDAY
Gaga? What're you doing?
I'm writing and there's nothing you can do to stop me!
I'll kill you!
*Throws glass of water*
NOOOOOO! I'm melting!
AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND UPDATED THE STORY! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
"Right!" Jeff called as he addressed his small crowd. "You are the people who haven't been making as many friends as we'd hope you would be, and David's here too! We have a task here for you!"
Jeff gestured to a rope tied about five feet above the ground over a sandpit. "You all need to get past the rope without touching it, if you touch it you all have to come back to the beginning again! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND GO!"
The Daybreakers immediately walked around the rope and stared a Jeff as he scowled at them.
"You have to go OVER it! Start again!" He yelled.
They all sighed and went back to the other side.
"Okay," Keller began, ever the team leader. "What should we try first?"
Thea raised her hand. "How about two of the strongest people lift us over?"
"Good idea, Thea!" Keller praised then turned to look at Delos. "You know that you're the strongest, Pretty Boy."
"You also know he's the most spoilt." Galen said when Delos crinkled his nose extraordinarily adorably. "I'll do the lifting, Keller."
"I'll help." David chimed in with a cute little grin.
"Okay!" Keller ordered. "Throw me over first so I can help the others get down!"
Galen went to pick her up, but David didn't. "David? What're you doing?"
He looked over his shoulder at them. "Stretching. I don't wanna pull something."
"You already did…" Delos muttered, earning an elbow in the chest from Gillian.
Keller sighed. "Just throw me over, Galen."
Galen wrapped his arms around her waist and stayed there a second too long, he then hoisted her up and gently deposited her over the rope.
"Gillian next!" Keller called.
David ran over and the two throwers lowered her over the fence into Keller's arms.
It was then Thea's turn, she stepped into David and Galen's hands and they slowly lifted her up.
"Oh shit." David suddenly said.
"What?" Thea asked warily, grabbing his shoulder for support.
"I'm gonna sneeze!" He yelled and began sucking in breath.
Galen knew it was his time to shine, he had but a few seconds to decide what to do. Throw Thea over and dive tackle David out of the way so he wouldn't touch the rope? Or pull Thea away and hope for the best? No, he thought, throwing Thea could hurt her.
So Galen gallantly pulled Thea out of the way so she wouldn't be dropped. David then began to go through what was looking to be an extremely violent sneeze.
His body convulsed and shot forward. Everyone held their breath as his nose came dangerously close to the rope, but then he stopped moving and opened his eyes, sneeze over. A breath of relief washed over the team.
Thea was then passed over without further incident. But then it was Delos' turn.
He strode over and went to stand in Galen and David's hands, but they stopped him.
"You can't stand in our hands with shoes on!"
"But if I take my shoes off, I'll get sand in my socks!" He replied.
"Get over it, Pretty Boy." David said. "Off with the shoes!"
Delos sighed as he removed his shoes. "I hope that nickname isn't becoming permanent…"
They hoisted him over, then all looked at Keller.
"Right…" She sighed. "Galen, can you lift David?"
"Yes." He wrapped his arms around David's waist, then put him over the rope.
"That made me feel masculine…" David murmured as his feet hit the ground.
"So kids, how're you going to get Galen over the rope?" Jeff asked with a grin.
"Easily." Keller said with a smirk. "Everybody stand back!"
Galen got himself a good run up, then sprinted and leapt over the fence, landing on his feet the other side.
Jeff's mouth dropped open, making Galen laugh as Keller hugged him, forgetting her character momentarily.
…
THAT NIGHT
Ash wandered up the hill where he sensed his soulmate was. She lay there, tears running down her cheeks. Ash plopped down next to her and wiped them from her face with his fingertips.
"Mare, what's wrong?"
She sniffed. "He took away our luxury items…"
"So?"
"So my telescope was in my box!" She cried. "There's an asteroid shower happening tonight that you can only see in Scotland and you need a telescope! It happens once every two hundred years! I have to see it!"
"Oh, Mare…" Ash sighed as he pulled his sobbing soulmate to his chest.
"Please, Ash…" She sniffled. "Please…"
"Please what?"
Her head shot up to look into his eyes, suddenly excited. "Please give me vampire blood!"
Ash raised an eyebrow. "I don't know Mare, remember last time we did that? It didn't end well…"
"We're not going to be almost killed by an angry jealous werewolf then get separated for a year this time, Ash." Mare replied.
"But what if I can't stop?" He whispered.
"I trust you." She nuzzled his cheek.
"Quinn'll know. He knows these things. And he'll tell me off for it. He and Rashel have a holier than thou attitude about these things…" He sighed, his breath coming in short bursts.
"Maggie and Delos do it." Mare whispered in his ear. "She said it's their favourite thing to do."
"Does she now?" Ash replied, his eyes wide.
"Mmmhmmm…" Mare nibbled his ear. "Please, Ash. It's no big deal, and I have to see these asteroids."
"I can never say no to you…"
You wanted Ash and Mare! I gave you Ash and Mare! (Actually, no-one asked for more Ash and Mare in THIS story, but I sensed it! Why do you guys love them so much?) This thing now has something resembling a storyline which isn't pointless funnies! WOOHOO!
