Final chapter. Hope you all enjoyed!


" Wow Ra. I can't believe that happened. "

Mantha breathed, looking at the mummy from over her seat on the pirate ship. The rest of the day had gone by, and everyone was heading back to Scare School. Casper and Mantha were sitting in the seat in front of the mummy, and Zeke, who was actually curled up on the seat, sound asleep. He was free from his fever today, but he was still tired from it, and from the battle he had with that monster the other day. His antenna were leaning over the edge of the seat, blowing softly in the breeze.

Ra smiled at how happy the alien looked in his sleep before turning back to his friends.

" Are you two ok Ra? "

Casper asked softly, tilting his head to the side innocently.

" Yeah we're ok. I'm just glad Zeke's ok. "

Ra admitted, looking at the alien again.

" He's the one who took most of the damage. Getting sick, me being an idiot, the monster... he's... a lot tougher than he looks really. "

" Well, he DID used to be in a war. "

Mantha chuckled lightly. Ra and Casper laughed lightly with her before they all fell silent. Ra looked down at Zeke again, smiling brightly as the aliens foot kicked a bit. He slept so soundly, it was sweet.

" ... You know... "

Ra mumbled, looking back up at his friends.

" I know he's trying to forgive me, but I still want to make it up to him... "

" Well, maybe you could help him with living arrangements. "

The small group of three turned around and met Thatch's gaze. The vampire in question looked a bit tired, and maybe a bit upset (though it was well masked), but he was smirking a bit. As if he knew something they didn't. Ra turned in his seat to face him better, eyes wide in interest.

" He can't stay with me. "

Ra explained.

" I mean, he was only there for a day before he got sick. "

" Th-that's not what I meant. "

Thatch stuttered, his smirk fading.

" I meant... well... maybe he can enroll in Scare School. "

" Hey! That's a great idea! "

Mantha cheered, clapping her hands together.

" He could have a roof over his head, he wouldn't have to wear a disguise, he could learn more about creatures, and he could get a decent meal every now and then! Thatch, that's perfect! "

Thatch blushed at the praise and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

" I-it's no big deal really... "

" Thatch, it really IS a good idea. "

Ra said softly, smiling warmly.

" How'd you come up with it? "

" I-I'm not sure, I... "

Thatch looked down at his lap, soon folding his hands together.

" Just... thought it might be more comfortable for him is all... "

" Hey Thatch, are you ok? "

Casper soon found himself asking, getting confused looks from the other three. Although, Thatch's looked a bit more nervous than confused.

" ... Yeah, why? "

" Well... y-you look a little... troubled... "

Thatch calmed down greatly at this, surprisingly enough, and was soon smiling softly.

" Oh no. I'm fine. Just didn't sleep well over the break. Been thinking about some stuff. "

" Oh yeah? "

Mantha said, sounding genuinely curious.

" Like what? "

Thatch blushed bright red now before turning away from them entirely.

" Just... stuff... "

The three friends looked at each other, all clearly confused, before shrugging and looking forward.


Once the pirate ship landed, the children went off the ship, Ra and Zeke actually the last ones off due to the fact Zeke had been sleeping for a while. Zeke looked up at the school before him, or more so the spiraled stairs of the school, before smiling at it's sinister appearance. He knew it would sound so weird to his kind, but he'd always loved scary things. Anything that could potentially be frightening. He was about to head off and go to the dimension tube, when he felt Ra place a hand on his shoulder.

" Hey Zeke, gotta minute? "

Zeke mentally sighed, as he'd really wanted to just get the swirling dimension tube ride over with, but turned to the boy neither less.

" What's up man? "

" I was thinking... sense you really don't have anywhere to go... "

Ra scratched the back of his head, wondering why he was hesitating. He normally didn't hesitate this much.

" Why don't you enroll in Scare School? "

" ... Eh? "

The mummy chuckled lightly at the other' tone before continuing.

" Well yeah. Free room, or the boys dorm, free food, you'll get to learn more about humans and creatures, and you won't have to wear a disguise. What do you say man? "

Zeke stood ridged, as if shocked to the core by what he'd heard. Ra almost feared he'd said the wrong thing. But soon Zeke yelped, giving a tiny jump.

" That sounds totally AWESOME! "

He cheered, suddenly grabbing Ra's arm.

" Come on, let's go get me enrolled! "

Ra yelped a bit as Zeke began running, laughing at the other's enthusiasm.


I know, lame/short ending. Sorry... Hope you all enjoyed the story though. :)
