This has probably been one of the longest night of my life. Ever. We also all truly understand why Gregory hates his family so much, pretty much all of them have a stick shoved up their rear end. Are all vampire snotty and ignorant? Unfortunately, my important question will be left unanswered for James pointed out that the enemy was slowly creeping up in the horizon.

Ana yawned, "Jennifer? Will you please get me a new dress?"

"I don't know...you might not like one that I pick out...then I'll have to send it back and go through all the store policy crap." I rambled on endlessly.

Her bottom lip gutted out, "Please? Pretty please! I'll be a good girl! I won't tear this one, promise!" Now how can you say no to that face? Really.....if I refused, Gregory might just lock me in a closet again.

I smiled, "Alright! First thing in the morning, James and I will go to the store and see what we can find." Ana poked my side with anxiety, "Remember it has to be red!" No thank you? I'll do it for her, thank you! You're welcome! Damn, I really need to stop talking to the voice inside my head.

Freda beckoned her daughter upstairs, "Come Ana. It is time to sleep."

Obeying the female vampire's demands, Ana pranced up the stairs, chanting excited words, "I'm going to get a new dress! I'm going to get a new dress!" Something tells me that her parents haven't bought any new clothes for her since the sixteen hundreds.

James suggested, "Hot Topic?"

"Not a chance! No offense to the greatest store in on earth but their dresses aren't really suitable for girls like Ana." I shook my head disapprovingly.

My best friend protested, "But she's a vampire! Don't they like that gothic looking stuff?"

Gregory sighed, "Oh the typical stereotyping..."

"What are you still doing up!" I slammed my hand onto the window, "The sun is nearly here!" He simply smirked at me, staying as still as a rabbit about to be preyed on. Soon the bunny will be burning in pain if he doesn't get his cold butt up!

"I have a few minutes to spare."

James reached for a nearby lamp, "In that case...I'll just turn on this lamp for my reading!"

I hissed, "You don't read!"

"Of course I do!"

Moments later, my boyfriend rose from his comfortable spot on the couch. His face was obliviously deprived from beauty sleep. Ha, as if Greg needs time to focus on his already devilishly features. Junior on the other hand....should purposely dunk his head into a barrel of toxic waste. Hot twin? Meet hideous twin!

Gregory kissed my forehead while passing, "Drop by my room if you get tired of this mortal over here." That sounds like a cheesy pickup line a dude with sunglasses would use on a rad chick at the bar. You ain't got a chance spiky boy!

"Yeah right! I'd rather not hang upside down while sleeping."

The immortal teenager disappeared up the spiral stairway, "I was going to sleep in the bed with you....but since you declined my offer....never mind! Goodnight!" Dammit, dammit to hell.

James smirked, "Seems like you just missed your chance to get laid."

Shooting him a humorless glance, I stated, "Sorry, but I'm not gonna have sex with a vampire. Although, I think you would jump at the chance to get into Rudolph's Uncle's fancy pants."

"Did you see him?! His gigantic wig is sexy as Alex Evans taking an naughty picture of himself!" The wig guy? He totally pwned Thea with his sophicated vocabulary.


I must have dozed off shortly after James confessed his undying crush on Rudolph's Uncle. What a way to go huh? Wrong, for my dreams were full of my best friend riding around in a unicycle, raving about all the handsomest vampires in the world. All from the Lost Boys, of course. Those Twilight sparkly diamonds just don't cut the cake.

"Wakey, wakey!" Grumbled a voice in my unexpecting ear.

I pushed James away, "Never come that close again, you weenie. Next time you'll lose an eyeball!" Back in the day, I used to hide a kitchen knife under my pillow, in fear of monsters coming to kidnap me. James fits into that category.

He faked depression, "Oh woe is me! The only girl who isn't ashamed to be seen with me is throwing me away!" Cue the continuos fainting notions and the pretend tears leaking from his eyes. Right.

"I will throw rocks at you."

James crackled like Junior would in this situation, "If you haven't noticed, there isn't any rocks to throw! Aren't we supposed to do that to Gregory right about now...anyway?" He's trying to weasel his way in to annoying my boyfriend.

"Would if I could, however, we have a new dress to tend to." I threw on some shoes, they probably weren't even mine!

He groaned loudly, "Argh! But it's nine o'clock!" Well maybe he shouldn't have woken me up then! Once I fall into darkness, I can't be taken out unless someone physically shakes me for several minutes. James flew up the stairs, ranting about the sweatshirt he left in Rudolph and Ana's room.

I'm not going to save him if the little vampires suddenly wake up, thirsty for a little bit of tasty wine like blood. Fear not my fellow audience, James may come back in the sequel! ...Oh crap, this is the sequel.

"I got it!" James jumped down the stairs, almost tripping through the process. His sweatshirt was danglingly around the familiar thin shoulders.

I raised my eyebrows, "Fashion statement much?"

James examined his body for a moment before returning his attention back to me, "What? You don't like it?"

"Nope! James, you look like one of those snobby rich boys who just got out of a spa trip or winning a game of golf against the mayor."

The richy roared with laughter, "It's too late now! The journey of shopping malls await us! To the dress store, Jenny! Get my sword, because I have a feeling I'm gonna have to fight a mass of preteens to get my hands on the perfect dress!"

Frowning, I recoiled, "Just one problem."

"And what is that, you fiend!"

Time to rain on his chivalry parade, "How are we going to get there? The Sackville-Baggs don't have a car, it wouldn't matter anyway! Both you and I can't even shift the gears!"

James did not seemed phased at all, "To the bus! To the righteous bus!"


Surprisingly, James and I managed to make it to the mall alive. Although, I did have my doubts as we strolled by some creepers on our way to the actual bus stop. Let's just say their eyes were wanderin all up in our personal grills. Word.

Once we stepped foot onto the dirty tile floor, James shouted, "Oh look! Hot Topic is about to open! Will you look at that? It's fate!" Oh no you don't.

"Nope. That's not happening." I mocked his earlier gestures, "Oh look! Sears is about to open! This is definitely fate, my dear friend."

"Ewww! Sears clothing? Talk about grandma central." James snorted with disgust.

Would he rather go into American Eagle or girly Clarie's? Not even a year ago, my best friend was shoved in American Eagle as a prank. It took hours to find him in the clutter of very bright shirts and strong everlasting perfume. James was curled up into a ball, jibberish escaping his throat. That's probably when he transformed into the uber cool homosexual we all know and love.

I snapped, "Either come in with me or don't. We're wasting time just standing here looking like idiots! Ana is gonna wake up in a eleven hours, expecting the most wonderful thing that ever blessed her immortal eyes. Let's go!"

James raised his hands in utter defense, "You don't have to tell me twice."

The gates of Sears slowly revealed thousands of clothes from all different sizes. Where is the dress section? Don't girls need to buy a hot dress or something to get laid in?! James pointed over to a woman in blue uniform, "Why don't you go ask where they are?" He never likes to ask for help. Men.

Shrugging my shoulders, I advanced towards the unaware working stiff, "Um, excuse me? I was wondering if you could point me into the direction of the dress section?"

The woman with a scratched off name tag alertly checked me out, "Depends. What kind of dress you need? Formal? Spicy? Flirty? Romantic? Casual? Dare I say...slutty?" I think I like this unknown worker.

I answered, "It's not for me. It's for...my little sister." The woman eyed me with suspicion, "Why didn't you say so? The kiddie section is on the second level, first right you make."

"Thanks." I bid her farewell.

James was practically in the used clothing basket when I came back, "These prices are unbelievable! I found fake mustache for free!" He placed it on his bare upper lip. "What do you think? The new Sherlock Holmes?"

Something tells me that it isn't fake facial hair, "Take that thing off, it might be full of aids."

"You're full of aids! Oh sha bam!"

Time to resist the urge to reply back with, 'That's what she said'. Frankly, this conversation is getting too sexual and perverted for my liking. The dress that is screaming 'Ana!' is probably upstairs waiting for us to come and grab it.

I waved my hand over to the now hands full worker, "The chick said the kiddie section is upstairs." My best friend's face flashed with absolute fear, "No, elevators right?" I forgot to mention he has a phobia moving little rooms.

"There are stairs."

"Great! Let's use them!"

"....that are five flights long."


Remember when I said the right dress was awaiting our presence? Psh, if only. It actually decided to be spiteful to us and hide amongst millions of either too short or too long dress like hand cloths. Sears is such a sucky store, but hey! It's the only thing I can afford, considering the fact I nearly spent all my cash on a million supply of rather expensive hair dye.

James leaned against a mirror, "Are you done checking the dress for holes yet?"

"No! It has to be perfect! There's no way in hell I'm coming back here to return it!" My eyes were on a mission of their own.

I bet you want a mental image of the dress, hm? Well, it's red, like Ana requested. The amazing dress is long sleeved with golden glitter running down them. Ruby, emerald, yellow and a forest green were the colors decorated around the dress's neck.

"Done yet?"

"Nope."

A few seconds slowly passed by, "...Now?"

"NO!"

"WHY NOT!"

I smiled, "You know what? Never mind, we're done here." James was glaring at me the whole time we speeded down the endless grey stairs. I wonder what would happen if I accidently pushed the grumpy dude, later claiming the horrific place is haunted. This is why I hate shopping, people do things they wouldn't normally do, as if the devil got inside their noggin.

The woman who gracefully helped me about an hour ago, spotted us through the crowd, "Hey! I'm guessing you found the dress she wanted!"

James muttered, "Oh yeah...'found it'."

"Want me to ring it up?" She pretended that she didn't hear the idiot's remark, grasping a whole of Ana's dress.

"Yes, that would be great." I replied.

I'm never going shopping with James again....heck I'm never going shopping for a vampire yet alone.


"Oh my gee! Oh my gee! Oh my gee! I love it! I love it! Thank you Jennifer!" Looks like she learned another new phrase from the moving box. Ana dropped her new dress onto the leather couch, pulling me into a rather tight hug. Yes, it still bothers me that a little girl like that is fifty times stronger than I.

Freda smiled over at me, "Thank you dear, for giving Ana such a gift."

"I don't see what's so special about it....it's just a red dress." Rudolph admitted.

The youngest vampire gasped, "Take that back! It is not just a dress. This dress is blessed from the heavens! I can see luck, happiness and love in this red fabric!"

James peered over her shoulder, "Girl, you must have a third eye or something, because all I see is a dress that took hell and back to receive."

"That's why it is so amazing! It is a beloved treasure!" Whatever you say...honestly I found it on the clearance rack. Sh, don't tell though.

Gregory patted my ruffled hair lovingly, "You did wonderful Jennifer. This adventurous deed desveres an award..." He raised his eyebrows suggestively at me.

"Now is not the time to be sweet talking you're mate son, I just got a message from my brother that they have found Thea, Katie and Junior." Frederick suddenly announced to his family.

I whispered, "I thought his brother was dead?"

"He has more than one brother, you know." Gregory teased.

Rudolph rushed to his father's side, "Yes father? What were they up to?" Sometimes Tony's best friend is such a suck up. However, it is the smart thing to do. No one wants to get on the violent side of dear Mister S.

Frederick spoke, "They found them east of the mountains...---" He paused hesitantly, "---with Victor Jackkle."

A/N: As you can tell, Gregory wasn't deeply involved in this chapter, however it was simply a humor infested filler to support the more dramatic ones, that will most definitely contain the 'innocent twin.' Please leave your reviews, telling me what you think!
