Alright last chapter and I finished it sooner than I thought. Wow, this was a roller-coaster ride of remembering old memories to keeping track of jokes and one-liners I wanted to put in the story. That's right peeps, almost all the jokes, dialog and plotlines were things I planned out years before writing this story. This was always one of my favorite episodes, I'm biased I love episodes that forces on Rory and Erica.
You know once upon a time a year before I came up with my Dakota, Mabel, and Rory ship, Rorica used to be my second OTP next to Ethsarah. It wasn't until I got older that I realized their relationship was kind of toxic. God if only the show went on longer, it would've been a great opportunity to showcase toxic relationships. Too many shows have picture perfect relationships that we never even think of the RedFlags till we're either much older or we're stuck in one. darn you Disney and your overromanticizing of high school relationships it's not all sunshine and rainbows. And just because someone cheats on you doesn't mean you get back together with them.
Rory, you dodged a built when you started sticking with Mabel and Dakota more. Anyway, I finished this chapter yesterday, but it was late. so here take the last chapter and leave a comment while you're at it I don't know when the next story will come out, but it may come sooner than you'd think I want to make another soon. Enjoy the last chapter :)
Chapter 5: Temptation's Subsided
Now that the blood drive was over, everything returned to normal. Erica ended up talking with Sarah and apologized for being so selfish and promised not to rob another blood truck again. (Epically, if that truck was run by vampires.) Sarah being the kindhearted friend she is, forgave Erica, even though she did feel kind of bad considering her friend didn't get the blood she was hunting for.
As for me, Emily ended up taking me to the school counselor, and slowly we talked through my issues. Much to Emily's relief, I didn't show signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder and something more akin to overwhelming feelings I didn't know how to deal with yet. Overall, even though I promised to be better, Emily wasn't going to leave Mabel and me alone with Rory again anytime soon, and that was for the best. We did not need another incident like this again. Speaking of which, even though Ethen faced his fears, he still had a fear of needles and swore never to give blood to a vampire or a regular nurse ever again.
"Oh, come on, we could make a fortune selling your blood to vampires." Benny insisted,
"Nah ah, no more needles, not ever."
"I can cast a fear reversal spell?"
"No thanks, I value my life." The other refused,
"Turn one goldfish inside out, and suddenly you turn into Lord Voldemort." Benny sighed,
"Hey, you know you're not supposed to say his name!" Emily joked, walking up to the boys,
"Hey, Emily, how's Dakota doing?" Ethen questioned,
"Oh, she's fine. Nothing a trip to the school counselor can't fix. It turns out her obsession was caused by overwhelming stimuli created by preteen hormones. Or something like that. I kind of zoned out when she started talking scientifically. She suggested some good therapists in case things get out of hand and sent us on our way." Emily explained,
"And her parents?" Ethen wondered,
"Yeah, here's the thing. So, we had a good long chat, and while they were disappointed with Dakota kissing a boy without proper consent. They were thrilled that she got her first kiss; they told me not to worry about it and advised me to supervise her until she calms down!" The angel explained, a little frustrated that I got off scot-free, "But I will be keeping an eye on her and Mabel from now on."
"So, she's cured?" Benny asked,
"Not exactly. It seems like something she'll be dealing with until her brain matures enough to handle said emotions. So, we'll be stuck with Dakota's obsessive side for a while. Even though I know what caused it, I still don't know how it was triggered. She was able to hang out with Rory just fine last week." Emily explained, making Benny go wide-eyed,
"Um, Emily, I think I know what pulled the trigger."
"Really, what was it?!"
"Well, last Friday, I cast a love spell on Della, hoping to make her forget the whole Puffle's incident. And I ended up missing, and I think it hit Dakota instead."
"You did this?!" Emily questioned darkly, a look of bloodlust in her eyes,
"Yeah, yeah, my bad. I'm guessing when she went to hang out with Rory, it caused her crush to intensify, and well, we all know how that ended up." He laughed it off, "Are you mad at me?" He questioned fearfully,
Emily took a deep breath and faced the spell caster. "You know something, Benny, I'm going to do the thing you did the first night you got your spell book. And make you disappear!"
Benny shirked as Emily came charging at him, nearly knocking Sarah over. "When I get my hands on you, Weir, you're going to wish those nurses were still here!"
"Whoa, what's up with Emily?" Sarah wondered,
"Let's just say we found the source of Dakota's obsession." Ethen explained casually, "So, no chips today?"
"Yeah, the whole bloodlust thing was kind of intense, but it's all good now that the blood drive is over." She explained, "You still smell good to me."
"Gee, thanks, so do you." He replied,
"Well, that's not awkward at all." Mabel giggled,
"Shh." I shushed, covering her mouth,
"I almost feel sad that Erica went home empty-handed."
"Hmm, something tells me she won't be hungry for long." I smiled knowingly because I wasn't the only one who managed to snag some blood bags.
"Come to mama," Erica smirked, opening a mini fridge of blood and drinking a bag. "Yep, it's good to be bad." She thought, enjoying her long sought-after meal in peace.
Epilogue:
I never did end up seeing those nurses again, so I don't know what became of them. But Erica and Rory's mission was a success. Of course, I helped a tiny bit, but my goal of kissing Rory was all I cared about at the time. Sure, it may seem like I would tressure that time fondly, but it's hard to look back at something when you're filled with regret over it. I've mentioned this before, but after leaving Whitechapel for good, I got over Rory not long after and began to regret my crush on him. While Mabel stayed in contact and continued to look back fondly on it, I couldn't. From the underaged make-outs to my love lust, I felt guilt understanding how delusional and inappropriate our relationship was. What happened between us to make things end this way? Well, that's an entirely different story that I'll get into another time.
But while, it took a long time to move on and accept it as a part of my past. It did leave me never wanting to see Rory again, feeling too ashamed of my behavior and the aftermath left me with a few temporary relapses. Now, I'm in a very loving and healthy relationship with my current boyfriend, Ventus. Much to Emily's delight, I didn't suffer from the same delusions from before and took things nice and slow until I was old enough to be with him. And years later, I was able to rekindle a platonic love towards Rory and our dynamic trio reunited.
So, things didn't necessarily end in an unhappy ending. After all, I'm writing this memoir, and nowadays, I can't help but laugh at the madness my ten- and eleven-year-old self came up with just to get Rory's attention. Hey, I never said it didn't work.
September 19, 2019:
"Wow, I almost forgot how persistent you were back then," Rory spoke, looking over my work,
"Yeah, how come you never acted that way around me. You could really flirt for a ten-year-old."
I blushed at my boyfriend's question, "Well, Ven years' worth of regret and fear of freaking you out kept my insane self from coming out and potentially ruining the love that was blossoming between us."
"Heh, that's a good point." Ven realized with a chuckle, "You know what ever happened to all that obsessive energy after you got older?"
"Simple, it turned into Asexuality," Emily answered, simply reading a book not far from us.
"You know what? That makes sense." Rory agreed,
"Yeah, good enough for me." Ven smiled,
"Can't argue with that logic." I grinned,
"Hey, Dakota, Rory, Emily? You guys in here?!" Mabel called out.
"We're in here; Mabe's whatcha need!" I replied,
"Oh, there you are. Hey, is that your new memoir? You haven't made one of those in a while; let me see." Mabel ran up to us while we made room for her.
"Hey, I remember this. This was when those vampire nurses set up that blood drive, and you, Erica, and Rory got stuck in the blood truck. Didn't you end up kissing him?"
"Yes, Mabel, that was when I got my first kiss with Rory, and you did too." I reminded you though it felt a little weird admitting it out loud. "It was a very obsessive time in my life," I said to Ven.
"It's fine, Dakota. It was years ago anyway. Mabel, do you want to read it with us? We're proofreading right now, but later we'll be reading it with the others." Ventus offered,
"Sure, I was going to invite you out for donuts. But this is far more important." She smiled, getting comfy,
"Alright, gang, let's take it from the top!" I announced as the four of us reflected on some of my favorite memories.

Find out in Creative Cutie's next exciting entry Whitechapel Adventure's: A Life-Sized Issue based on the My Babysitters a Vampire episode Guys and Dolls coming to a fanfiction site near you!
Well, peeps it's over my favorite episode and the one story I've been excited for the most is finally done. Sorry it took nine months to finish but next time I'll post more frequently as long as the RV park I'm staying at doesn't take two months to change their internet. Anyway, next story is based on Guys and Dolls another favorite of mine. I'm sorry I... *sniffs* I just really love Rory he's too pure for the vampire world he's living in. Alright time for the important notes.
Dakota's regrets: This is completely self-indulgent I've mentioned this many times but when I was ten and show was in first session reruns, I developed a fast and very strong crush on Rory. Well, I kind of crushed on all three boys but Rory was the one I kept coming back too. Looking back, I don't remember what made me fall for him in the first place it was one of those came out of nowhere hit me like a ton of bricks kind of crushes.
It was also one of my first secret crushes I ever had. And when Gravity Falls came out it gave me the "greatest idea" to make the three a thing but that wasn't the main problem I eventually told my parents about my crush and my mom wouldn't stop teasing me about it. It was all in good fun but to me I hated it. Plus, my crush became a on and off sort of thing sometimes I'd be head over heels in love other times I'd feel nothing.
It was a cycle I hated I just wanted my heart to make up its mind and let my feelings be I guess I always knew Rory was too old for me and I shouldn't feel the way I was feeling but when I finally got over him, I let him go and never looked back. I didn't want to fall in love again and face the same teasing from before it ruined my love for him, and I couldn't find the good in it anymore not to mention the underage relationship between the threesome.
And I know someone will say it's an imaginary relationship a crack ship if you will. But to me it felt real like I was abandoning an old friend I couldn't even watch the show without my lingering feelings coming back and even today I'm still lowkey in love with him. But it's more like a fondness then true love. I'll always associate him with Dakota and Mabel. And in a way it helped find the types of boys I'm into. Cute, Dorky, not afraid to make me laugh, a precious personality, and blond. I have a thing for blonds. I also fall in love with fictional characters very easy so there's another one of my problems. In the end the ship was pure self-indulgence of my current crush at the time and me wanting Mabel to date a vampire.
Dakota's Ace? Nope, we're both ace. *Strikes a proud pose* This is referred to by the relapses but before I fell for Ventus. I had a bit of a sexuality crises after falling in love with Darcy from Winx Club. I thought I was maybe Bi, but it turns I felt safer with girls because I wouldn't need to worry about unwanted pregnancy an old fear I had as a teen. A few years later I realized the reason I felt safer with girls is because I hated the idea of having sex. I'm a sex repulsed Asexual and I'm happy I found a sexuality that not only describes me but also feels right to me. For anyone who wants to know what Asexuality is search it up yourself this note is long enough.
Anyway, I think that's this and this note is long enough, I'll see you soon guys. *waves*
