A medium height brunette with her hair up with stripes of red coming out at different places, rounded the corner wearing baggy red and black pants with many straps hanging everywhere (like the one's you see in Hot Topic). Her shirt was a tight black one with short sleeves and she was also wearing black high-heeled shoes. Around her neck was a necklace with seven different stones in it, a red one being the center. Around her she had a messenger bag with many different pins, patches, and a pair of shoe laces where pinned to it also, and it read "Lucky Thirteen". As much as she had tried in her time at Pleasantville High not to attract attention to herself, everyone seemed to like her and want to be her friend. Even a certain boy that she had meet when she had signed up to be part of the Gothic Fantasy Guild.
As much as she tried she could not get away from him. Lately it had seemed that everywhere she turned he would be standing close by, but if she where to get close she knew what would happen. She would end up finding all the great qualities in him and making him and his friends the Out-postmen. Just as she was rounding a corner, she spotted him: Merton Dingle.
Merton: "Vivica!"
Vivica turned around hoping that he would think that he had made a mistake. Bad idea... As she turned around her heel broke and she landed straight on her butt, but thankfully there weren't' many people in this end of the hallway.
Merton: Vivica, are you ok?!
*He comes running up to her and stretches out a hand to her, she looks at it hesitantly and then decides she might as well*
Vivica: Yeah, and thanks.
Merton: No problem.
* She begins to brush off some dirt from her butt and looks at her heel*
Vivica: Damn it... and I just got these too! I swear it isn't one damn thing it's another!
Merton: Well I can take you to return them if you would like! I have a hearse!
*She rolls her eyes*
Vivica: Fascinating.
Merton: So...
Vivica: Yeah?
*She begins to look through her bag for something, spotting what she was looking for she pulls her phone out, and starts dialing*
Vivica: Hey Connor, I'm gonna be hanging out with a friend, so I'll be late getting home ok?.... Yeah... Yeah... Want me to pick up some dinner?.... That's fine... I don't know I can ask. Hold on.
*She covers the phone and then looks at Merton*
Vivica: Do you wanna eat dinner tonight at my place?
Merton: Um.. Yes. Can I bring a friend?
Vivica: I don't see why not.
*She goes back to her conversation*
Vivica: He says yeah... I don't know what I want for dinner do you? How about Italian?.. fine then... Chinese? Ok that sounds great. Ok love ya. Bye.
*She flips her phone closed*
Vivica: So... *she looks at the ground and then at him* you have a hearse huh?
Merton: Yeah.
Vivica: Well where is this friend of yours?
Merton: He's at football practice, why?
Vivica: Well let's go wait for him then.
Merton: Um...
Vivica: Yeah I know that you are "anti-school spirit" and all but so am I, but we can't really do anything without three people can we?
Merton: Why do we need three people?
Vivica: Um... I'll show you why... but later... I promise Kay?
Merton's Thoughts: Maybe trying to get Vivica to like me as a friend and join the guild is not such a great idea. I mean Lori always says that a girl should like you for you. Oh well.
*Vivica and Merton went through the halls to the football field to where Tommy was practicing and sat in the bleachers*
Vivica'sThoughts: Maybe I should tell him. I mean he is one of the few people that I know that understands the supernatural. I mean he does look out for Tommy, and he is a werewolf. Well there is no turning back now, and I promised Connor that I would at least run the idea by him.
*Tommy, all sweaty and tired from practice, comes over to the bleachers and comes up to Merton and Vivica*
Tommy: Hey Buddy. Who's your friend?
Merton: Tommy this is Vivica. Vivica, Tommy.
Tommy & Vivica: How do you do?
*They both start to smile and laugh slightly at that fact that they both said the same thing at the same time*
Vivica's Thoughts: I really hope that Tommy will go with this. If not I'm screwed.
Tommy's Thoughts: She's really hot... for being a Goth and all...
Merton: Well Vivica, do you care to explain that thing that you where talking about earlier?
Vivica: Sure but I don't think that you want to talk about the supernatural here do you?
*Both Tommy and Merton start to get uncomfortable*
Merton: Um.. where would you suggest the best place be for us to *makes air quotes* "talk"?
Vivica: I don't know... how about the Factory?
Tommy: That's great! We can meet Lori there too!
Vivica: Yeah...*look's at ground* she should be there too.. this involves her also.
*Merton looks very worried now, near passing out, but Tommy doesn't seem to realize what really is going on*
Vivica: Well let's go then. *She walks over to Merton's car and then open's the driver's door* Give me your keys.
Merton: What?
Vivica: Do I need to spell it out for you? Give-me-your-keys.
*Merton doesn't give them up, until Tommy slaps him in the back of the head*
Tommy: Dude, just give them to her.
*Merton hesitantly gives them to her, and on the key chain there is a little white scull. Vivica looks at it and tries to hide her frown*
Vivica: Um... cute.
* Merton and Tommy get in and Vivica turns on the engine. She then digs into her bag and pulls out a CD and put's it in Merton's CD player. All of a sudden a girl is singing about a mouth being like a funeral.*
Merton: Um Vivica.. who are we listening to?
Vivica: Jack Off Jill... Is there a problem in this?
Merton: No. Actually I kinda like them.
*Tommy is just sitting there trying to figure out what the song is trying to say. They then pull up to the Factory's parking lot. Vivica parks, and they all get out and walk inside, where they spot Lori and they go sit with her*
Tommy & Merton: Hey.
Lori: Hey. Who's your friend?
Merton: Lori, this is Vivica Smith. Vivica this is Lori Baxter.
*They say there greeting and shake hands. Lori notices Vivica's necklace and thinks she has seen it before, but she decides not to say anything about it*
Vivica: So do you guys wanna order some drinks? It's on me.
Tommy: Sure. *waves his hand toward the waitress* Um yeah can we get four cherry drinks.
Waitress: Sorry Honey. All I sell is lap dances.
*Everyone stares at the woman*
Waitress: I'm kidding. I'll be right back with your drinks.
Tommy: Oh, I'm sorry Vivica. Is cherry ok?
Vivica: No it's terrible! How will I live with being forced to drink it! *her face changes into a smile*... Yeah it's good.
*Lori laughs*
Lori: So, Vivica. Where are you from?
Vivica: Romania
Lori: What part?
Vivica: Well when I was made, it wasn't called that.
*Both Tommy, Lori, and Merton look at each other trying to decide between each other if she is lying or if she is being serious*
Merton: But Romania had been around, for it seems like, forever.
*The drinks some to the table and they drop there conversation until the waitress leaves. Vivica immediately starts to sip on her drink*
Vivica: And you point?
Merton: Well then how is that possible? I mean Romania was there before you where born.
Vivica: "Made" honey. Granted it was there but it wasn't called that when I was created.
Merton: *uses air quotes* "Made"? "Created"?... You make it sound as if you aren't normal.
*Vivica looks at the ceiling, then at the ground. just at anything but them*
Lori: So what are you trying to say? That you are some really old person that just wants to hang out with us?
Vivica: No not exactly. Please don't be afraid. If I didn't think that you guys could do the job, I wouldn't even have let you seen me. Much less talk to me.
Merton: Well it's kinda hard to miss a freak like you.
Vivica: Oh like you have so much room to talk! You know you didn't even have any friends until... *ducks her head down to the table and whispers*... until Tommy here was bit by a werewolf and turned into one!
Tommy: She has a point Merton... *He just realizes what just happened* Wait how did you know about that?!
Vivica: Like I said, please don't be afraid. I will explain, and I do have my reasons for everything. But I seriously doubt that you wanna talk about all the bad guys that you all have fought within your time together.
Merton: Riiight... how do we know that you aren't just some crazy person that has escaped from a crazy bin?
Vivica: I know everything that has happened since Tommy has became a werewolf. In fact I could write your guy's whole life stories if I wanted to.
*Lori, Tommy, and Merton huddle together*
Lori: Guys I think she is for real. I mean how else would she know those things?
Merton: Oh I don't know... Maybe she is some evil slut-bot from another dimension.
*You can see Vivica in the background between the three sipping on her drink and just looking around the place*
Lori: Well we can see if she is bluffing at least right?
Tommy: I guess. I mean we could ask her some questions right? I mean she did say that she knew everything about us. We could ask her questions that only someone like that would know.
Merton: Alright I'll ask them then.
*They all come out of the huddle and look at Vivica in a skeptical way*
Tommy: Ok we are gonna ask some questions to see if you are really telling the truth.
Vivica: Alright. Shoot.
Merton: Well... oh, name some of the monsters we have fought then.
Vivica: Ok... hmm... let's see... Witches, Vampires, Genies, Aliens, Ghosts, Mummies, Cat people, A Gorgon, other werewolf's, and some spider people.
*They all look at her dumbfounded*
Tommy: How did you know about all of that?
Vivica: I told you already.
*Vivica digs in her bad and pulls out some money for the drinks. She puts the money slightly under a drink, and then takes one last sip and gathers her things*
Vivica: You guys hungry? I got my husband at home waiting with food.
Merton: Husband?
Vivica: I'll explain later. Come on lets get out of here before someone hears our conversation.
*They all get up and head for Merton's car*
Vivica: Shall I drive ? Since I'm the only one who knows where we are going?
Merton: Yeah I guess.
*They all get in and start to drive. After about 10 minutes they pull up to an old looking house. They all get out and go up to the house. Tommy, Lori, and Merton look around amazed at what they see. The since look like it just come out of a fantasy book. There is a large lake to the left with many animals, some they recognize, and some they don't, are playing at the waters edge. On the right there is a garden with plants growing in it and they don't recognize either. Vivica comes up to the door and invites them in.*
Vivica: Connor, I'm home.
* A man with brown and blond hair, wearing dark jeans, and with a black shirt on that says "MADE" on it, comes up to Vivica and gives her a kiss on the lips*
Connor: Welcome home.
As much as she tried she could not get away from him. Lately it had seemed that everywhere she turned he would be standing close by, but if she where to get close she knew what would happen. She would end up finding all the great qualities in him and making him and his friends the Out-postmen. Just as she was rounding a corner, she spotted him: Merton Dingle.
