Operation: Lita's Apartment.
Morning broke early, and at the first crack of light, Raye woke up. To her surprise, she found that Trista, Darien, Luna and Zabadws were already awake.
"Good morning, Raye," they greeted her.
"You too," she answered.
"I've already cancelled mine and Jacen's hotel rooms," said Zabadws. Raye looked over to where Jacen was sleeping, his arm wrapped around Charisma.
"Shouldn't we wake them up?" asked Raye.
"Yes we should," said Luna. "After all, we'll have to tell everyone's parents sooner or later."
"And it may as well be sooner," agreed Darien.
They went around, shaking people awake, but Serena didn't want to get up.
"C'mon Meatball Head," said Darien gently. "Rise and shine," he said.
"I will rise, but I refuse to shine," said Serena grumpily.
They got dressed, and Lita began making breakfast for everyone. She made toast, waffles, pancakes and even a full English breakfast for a ravenous Serena.
Raye switched on a TV set. The breakfast news was on, and the wreck of the school was the top story.
"Police say that no witnesses have come forward," said the reporter. "They suspect a local gang to be behind this mindless attack," she continued.
"If only they knew the truth," said Kalista. "Then their world of false securities would be a whole lot scarier."
"Quite," said Zabadws.
"Perhaps we should start making the phone calls now?" asked Artemis.
"Ok, I'll go first, said Mina. "After all, I don't have an exchange student."
She got up and walked over to the phone, and dialled her house number.
"Hi mom," she said. "Listen, is it ok if I stay with Lita for the next few days?" she asked. "We've got a project to do for school, and it'd be easier if we were in the same place."
There was a pause, as Mina's mother spoke, and Mina broke into a smile.
"Ok mom, thanks, love ya!" and she put the receiver down.
"Well?" asked Luna.
"Would you believe it, they're going on a cruise this week! I completely forgot, and I was meant to be staying with an aunt, but they've said I can stay with Lita," she beamed.
"One down, four to go," said Lee.
"I'll go next," said Amy. A few minutes later, she confirmed her success. "My mother's going to a medical conference," she said. "So she said its fine for Charisma and I to stay with Lita, as long as Lita doesn't mind," she said.
"Hey, I don't," said Lita.
"Okay, my turn," said Serena.
She dialled the number. Her mother answered. "Yes mom, it'll be fine, no wild parties, no alcohol and no drugs," she said. "And I'll make sure Kal and Cat are fine," she reassured her mother.
She turned to the others and mouthed "its ok," to them.
Amy smiled; everything was coming together.
"Ok, now it's our turn," said Jasmine.
Jasmine dialled Molly's number, and began talking.
"Molly, hi, it's Jasmine. I'm sorry about last night, but something came up. Is it alright if I stay with Lita for a few days? It's just that, well, this attack on the school's got me worried, and I wanna be with my friends- even Hope's spooked by it."
There was a pause.
"Really? It's ok? Thanks Molly, you're a gem! Bye now, I'll call to get my stuff later," she said, and hung up.
"My go," said Lee, kissing Jasmine on the cheek as she handed him the receiver.
"Hi, is Melvin there please? It's Lee," he said. "He isn't? Ok, Mrs Gurio? Can I ask a favour of you? Is it ok if I stay with Lita, after the attack at the school, well y'know." he trailed off, and Melvin's mother began talking.
After five minutes, Lee finally hung up the receiver.
"Well?" asked Zabadws.
"It's a go," smiled Lee.
"Thank God for that," said Jasmine.
Then, Darien took the Scouts and Obsidian to the various homes and hotel in order for them to get their things. He left his house until last, and then they arrived at Lita's apartment.
"Where do we begin?" asked Zabadws.
"Excuse me?" said Amy.
"You need to know the basics of vampires before you fight them; it's the same for werewolves too," he explained.
"Well, I guess you'd better tell us then," said Amy.
The Scouts sat down around Zabadws, who began explaining what vampires could and couldn't do, and also what werewolves could do.
"Werewolves must turn into wolves on the nights before and after a full moon, as well as the actual night of the full moon," he said. "They can also take on their wolf form whenever they choose."
The Scouts and Obsidian began swapping stories of past battles, and Mina suddenly remembered something that had been lurking at the back of her mind all day.
"That guy!" she blurted out when everyone sat down for dinner. They stared at her blankly.
"Mina, now isn't the time to be daydreaming about a boy," scolded Luna.
"I'm not! Although that wouldn't be such a bad idea.," she said.
"What are you talking about?" asked Amara, puzzled.
"The day before yesterday," she said. (AN: she's on about the events in chapter five, Meeting of Thoughts)
"What about it?" asked Luna.
"The guy who came to the Temple," she said.
"Oh the smooth one, 'I'll see you lovely ladies around'? Is that who you mean?" asked Amara.
"Yeah him," said Mina.
"Oh him, he was cute!" said Lita.
"Well, what about him?" asked Serena.
"What was his name? And where did he say he came from?" she said.
"Jack," said Hotaru. "From Fairview," she added.
"What was his last name?" asked Kalista, looking worried.
"He didn't say," said Raye.
"You know him?" asked Amy.
"What did he look like?" asked Kalista again.
"Tall, cute, really dark blue eyes, blonde/brown hair, quite short," said Lita.
"Wearing dark clothes?" asked Charisma.
"Yeah," said Lita nodding.
"He's my ex," said Kalista.
"Oh," said Lita.
"Did you invite him in?" asked Zabadws.
"Yeah," said Raye. "He wanted to find somewhere to stay before the sun came up, said he wanted to sleep," she carried on. "Why?"
Kalista sighed loudly, and then said, "He's a vampire."
"What?" asked Raye.
"He's a vampire," said Kalista again.
"Since when? Was it recently he became one?" asked Amy.
"He's one hundred and twenty six. What do you think?" said Kalista sarcastically.
"Oh, right," said Raye awkwardly.
"I thought Obsidian were meant to kill vampires?" said Mina.
"We do," said Catalina.
"Just not him," added Jasmine.
"Why?" asked Serena.
"Other than the obvious reason, he helped us out before," said Charisma.
"He saved my life before," said Catalina.
"So he's a good, cuddly vampire then?" asked Lita hopefully.
"As far as most vamps go, yeah he is," said Lee.
"So that's ok then?" she said.
"Yeah. He's also Anne's ex," said Lee.
"So that's why she hates you so much Kal," said Mina.
Hope just stared at her.
"Gee, ya think?" she said.
"Well, he doesn't know we're with Lita now, so everything should be ok. We can just finish off our work here, then go back to Fairview," said Jasmine, looking at Kalista with worry reflecting in her eyes.
"Yeah, and then he can just go away and never come back," added Kalista.
"I wish .," said Catalina quietly.
"C'mon, let's eat or else all the food will go cold," said Lita, changing the subject.
The group settled down and began eating, save Zabadws.
"Don't you eat?" asked Raye.
"Well, no I don't," he answered. "I'm an android."
"Oh," said Raye.
"It looks delicious though," he said to Lita.
"Thanks," she said.
"Tomorrow, we really should set up a watch of some sort, to make sure that they don't catch us off guard," said Zabadws.
"I agree," said Luna.
"Couldn't this wait until after food?" said Artemis, speaking with his mouth full.
"Artemis," sighed Luna.
"Well, all I'm saying is that, right now, the Scouts and Obsidian have some time to relax, and they should make good use of it, after all, when will they get another chance to relax after today?" he said.
"He does have a point," said Zabadws.
"Oh all right, I give in," said Luna.
