Catherine Tavington- Mind in the gutter can be a good thing, that's where mine rests during math… (Shifty eyes) Yes, Drac needs a chiropractor… though he would probably have him for "dinner" so it's probably best that Van is his acting chiropractor. Ya I knew the carol name, I was just too lazy to type it.

Your computer died? That sucks, glad you have a functioning one though.

Nekodra K. Dracula L- (Tries to avoid puppy eyes) I am very (dodges another attack) about the shortness (now behind bush) but it's just the way they come out… (Shoves paper bag on head) Ha! Now you can't get me.

Dracula: Please tell I am not here.

Sorry, can't do that.

Dracula: (groan)

MusikVibe- I am glad you are enjoying this, yes Dracula is very fun to write, mainly because he can fill a vast majority of roles and still be somewhat in character.

Kokoro- Yes, I do believe you love every chapter… But that's a good thing. I might have Carl find out that way, I am not sure… Or, ooo, never mind, I just had a great idea, am very sorry that I can't tell you, but it will be in the next chapter or two. (Jumps up and down) Drac, what do you think about her idea.

Dracula: I think you are all insane, especially for pairing me with… him.

You sound like you didn't enjoy last night with Van (coughcough)

Dracula: (blush) shad up!

Of course. (Evil laughter)

Yes, scowling and glaring did happen a lot. But what would you do if you where a vampire around on the one of the most holiest days?

Dracula: (runs away with chocolate you gave him) Mine, my own, my preasusss…

Ok, anyway please enjoy! Oh as a side note or two, Dracula has a sexy French voice, and two, I don't own Van Helsing, or the lyrics later on, they are owned by Nightwish!

The perfect gift.
Green, yellow, magenta, baby blue… Pink? Ugh, no… Wait… hmmm, heheh… Dracula smiled slyly and grabbed the scarf off the rack and shoved it into his pack. He turned around slid out of the store, totally un-noticed. Had I known that shoplifting was this easy I would have started doing it ages ago.

Dracula paused at the sound of music. He turned a corner and headed in the direction of the sound. He soon came upon a small group of people playing on the street. The melody was soft and haunting, small smile pulled at Dracula's lips, perfect.

"It's ten o'clock Van, where is Dracula?" Carl whined as he paced the room casting occasional glances out the window. Van shrugged and continued to read their way over due library book while taking notes on a small sheet of paper.

"He's probably still out- ah no here he is." Carl turned around to find the count standing in the room with a small smile on his lips.

"I have the perfect gift for you Gabriel." The vampire announced in a sing song voice. "It's wonderful."

Van blinked slowly, registering what Dracula had just said, "That's wonderful Dracula." He said as he returned back to his book. Dracula nodded then retired to the corner of his bed. Carl stood, rooted to his spot, "You two are very weird…" He muttered as he to climbed into his bed.

"Oh how I wish

For soothing rain

All I wish is to dream again

My loving heart

Lost in the dark For hope Id give my everything"

Dawn came all too early for the three of them. Van groaned and rolled over, bright light was streaming in threw the open window, but that was not what had awakened him. A groan came from the other side of the room. Van sat up and looked over at Dracula, or the lump under the covers that was made by Dracula.

"Close the blinds Gabriel, I am getting a bloody sunburn!" The Count growled from under the covers. Van quickly got up and closed the blinds, on the way over he roused Carl from his slumber.

"Good morning Carl." Van said as he pulled on his vest and cloak.

"Where are you going?" Asked the very confused Carl.

"To eat."

"Ah." Carl them proceeded to pull on his array of clothes as well. Van walked over and poked the lump under the covers.

"We'll be back tonight and we can open presents ok?"

"Fine."

Van shrugged and opened the door, "you first." He mocked bowed to Carl who went threw while rolling his eyes.

End
Holy shiznits that was short and amazingly hard to write.

You will have to wait for another chapter before you find out what they get each other… Heheh…

Dracula: I got THE BEST gift!

For Van of course.

Dracula: Who else?

Carl… He is traveling with you.

Dracula: Oh, I got him a (I cover his mouth)

Can't tell them. Ok hope you enjoyed, please review!
