It was just before the sun went down when a sudden banging was heard. Ross grumpily got out of bed and answered the door, surprised to see Carol, Susan and Ben there. Carol and Susan gave him a funny look.

"I um…was still in bed," Ross mumbled, seeing the funny look they gave him and realising why. "It was a long day." They just nodded.

"We need you to look after Ben." Ross looked down to see his son looking up at him, grinning.

"What? Why?"

"We have somewhere we need to be and he can't come," Carol said simply.

"Why me?"

"Believe me, you weren't our first choice," Susan replied. Ross glared at her.

"Come on. It's just for an hour."

"I um…I…er…oh fine, ok!" Ross finally said, giving up and letting Ben in. "Only for an hour though." The two nodded and walked off. Ross closed the door and turned to look at Ben. "What do you want to do then?" he sighed.

"Play super heroes!" he yelled, pretending to fly around. "No, be a vampire!"

Ross just looked at his son who grinned back.

"No, a vampire slayer!"

"Make your mind up. Be a vampire. Vampires are cool, right?"

"Yeah," his son replied, doing a vampire impression. "I want to watch TV!"

"But…I thought…oh never mind," Ross muttered, turning the TV on and just wishing he wouldn't keep changing his mind. It was going to be a long hour.

Amy walked in to Joey's apartment and, suddenly feeling hungry, she went to the refrigerator. She looked around and found that the only thing untouched was some garlic bread which was at the back. She shrugged and took it out.

"Wonder how this works," she said, going over to the oven. "Guess I had better ask Rachel," she decided, making a good decision for once, though Rachel wouldn't be too happy with her.

Amy couldn't see her anywhere so she walked over to her room and swung the door open.

"Rachel!" she said loudly. Rachel, who was lying on her back with her arms crossed over her chest, opened her eyes, scanning the room for where the voice came from. "I need help," Amy continued. She didn't even look towards Rachel as she opened the curtains letting the reddish light of the evening flood in.

Rachel dived out of bed, shutting them again. "What do you want help with?" she asked, hoping to get rid of Amy before she did anything else.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked. "It's early evening – you should be up and you should be happy to help your sister." Rachel just glared at her. "Anyway, I want help to cook something."

She went to the kitchen, Rachel following behind, to get the packaging and she told Rachel what the oven needed to be set to. Rachel set it and walked off. She didn't even take any notice of what Amy was about to cook…though she soon would.

Amy put the garlic bread in to cook and, as she became bored waiting, she decided to go and see what Joey was doing. She went over to his room and glanced around the door. She saw a figure in bed and knew it was Joey.

"Joey!" she yelled. Nothing. "Joey!" A small moaning was heard. Amy pulled open his curtains, hoping the light would wake him up. Joey just moaned louder and shielded his eyes so Amy started pulling him out of bed.

She pulled him in to the other room and he immediately woke up.

"What is it I can smell?"

"Oh…yeah…my garlic bread," she said, running over and taking some slightly burnt garlic bread out

Joey looked ill and ran in to his room, screaming when the light hit him. Amy hadn't even noticed though as she sat eating the garlic bread and, for once, no one just walked in to the apartment.

Later that night, once Amy was in bed, the group met at Monica's. Rachel and Joey both moaned about the light and garlic smell at their place. The topic soon turned to Amy and how to get rid of her, and what they were meant to do about other family members such as Ben or people like Carol and Susan.

After a lot of talking it was decided they would keep it a secret from them all and, so it didn't look odd that they only appeared at night, they would all get night jobs.

"Well…I'm thirsty" Joey said, getting bored of the conversation and making his way to the window.

"Me too, but going to the window might look a little suspicious," Monica grinned. Joey shrugged.

"So? Let's go! Phoebe shouted, everyone smiled as they ignored what Monica had said and slipped out the window. Monica rolled her eyes before deciding to follow anyway.

They flew off, hoping no one had seen, though they didn't notice one person standing at their window, looking out in to the night.

Thanks for the review! I brought Amy in because I wanted to. No real reason other than I thought it would be interesting. Not only do they have to put up with everyday life and being vampires, but putting up with others around them. You are right – this is a different kind of story lol.
