*Luna's POV*

I've gotta tell the boys about Michael inviting Max in.

I'm about 98% sure that he's the head vampire, but even if he isn't and he's just weird, I still outta warn the boys that their tricks won't work tonight either way.

I was about to knock on Sam's door (the frog brothers had been snuck in by Sam through the back door a little while ago) when I heard them talking.

"But guys, if Max is the head vampire, then we only have to kill him to turn Mike & the girls human again!"

"Sam, if we just kill the head and let the other bloodsuckers live, they'll keep killing people left & right! And besides, who's to say they won't come after us if we kill their leader?! No, they've all gotta die, plain & simple!"

'Oh those little MOTHERFUCKERS!'

I growled under my breath & had to fight down the urge to rip them to pieces for even suggesting killing the boys.

'They wanna go behind my back? Well then I guess I'll let them find out the hard way!'

*Third person POV*

"Lucy this looks delicious."

"Well I had a little help from the girls, so I can't take all the credit."

Everyone (minus grandpa Emerson) was sitting down at the dinner table, the girls waved off Lucy's comment and Max smiled.

"Boy! Somebody around here has bad breath!" Luna had to bite back a laugh when the boys immediately looked at Max.

"Nanook, would you quit breathing on me?" The girls giggled at the big goof as Sam told him to get upstairs before grabbing a small bowl. "You want some Parmesan cheese on that?"

Max took the offered dish of "cheese" before putting it on his food.

"Sam grated the cheese himself. My son." Lucy stated with a hint of pride & Luna had to bite back a smirk as Max started choking.

"Are you alright?!"

"No, it's not cheese, it's garlic!"

"I bet you hate garlic don't you?!"

"No, I like garlic, it's just a little much!"

Amber reached over to lightly smack Sam in the back of the head as Lucy took the dish & smelled it. "Garlic?! How did that happen?!"

Luna laughed under her breath as Sam offered him a glass of water before dumping it in his lap, causing him to jump up in surprise. "Does it burn?!"

"Burn? What're you nuts?! It's freezing!" Luna was trying to hold in her laughter as the lights went out.

"Now what?!"

"Probably a circuit-breaker mom!"

Luna had to cover her mouth with her hand when she heard Edgar comment on the fact that Max wasn't glowing.

'Vampires don't glow in the dark!'

The lights came on and Max cried out in shock when he found his reflection staring back at him.

"Sam! What is the matter with you?!" Lucy scolded her son as the girls looked on in slight anger/amusement.

"I think I know what's going on here." Everyone looked at Max in confusion. "You do?"

"Yeah, I know what you're thinking Sam, but you're wrong." Sam looked at him in fear. "I am?"

"Yes! I'm not trying to replace your father, or steal your mother away from you. I would just like to be your friend, that's all." The boys sighed in relief and Lucy gave Sam a disapproving look before walking Max to the door.

Luna couldn't hide a smirk of triumph when she saw the boys defeated looks.

"Major mistake guys."

Luna gave the girls a look and they quickly grabbed the boys by the ears as she walked over to stand in front of them before crossing her arms.

"While the girls & I go and console your mother, you & the toads are going to clean up dinner. And that includes washing the dishes!" The frogs were about to protest, but quickly shut up when Katie & Amber yanked their ears. "Afterwards, I am gonna have a serious talk with you three, if I come down here & you two are gone, you'll be begging me to murder you!"

She turned to give the frog brothers a death glare that would've made David run for cover. "Is. That. Clear?"

They gulped before nodding & quickly moving to help Sam clean up when the girls let them go.

*Time skip, third person POV*

Lucy had told the girls that Max invited her to his house for dinner tomorrow night, they agreed to look after the boys for her so that she could focus all of her attention on her date (which she was VERY thankful for) they'd even made her laugh by telling her how Luna had terrorized them into cleaning up dinner so that she could go to bed.

They had gone downstairs after their talk with Lucy to find all three of the boys washing the dishes. Alan washed, Edgar rinsed and Sam dried them before putting them away.

"Good to see you boys are still here, would've been a pain in the ass to hunt you down." Luna chuckled darkly as the frog brothers quickly nodded.

Rose went around and ran her finger over every surface just to scare the boys, but was pleasantly surprised when it came back clean.

"Good, after you finish the dishes, I want everyone to meet me outside."

They nodded as she turned to walk out to the backyard.
