Saturday

Alex, Alice, and Alyssa all sat around at Alice's house, watching a scary medieval movie. Alyssa laughed when the man was stabbed in the forest. "Any person would be sensible enough to not hide in the forest during a witch attack..." She chuckled, then looked at the clock.

"I find it weird that these bitches would even bother messign with the humans. They want to kill the priest right? Why not just do that before mocking the humans?" Alex asked.

"It's a movie Alex. It's meant to give off some suspense." Alice said, yawning.

"I need to get going... I'll be back soon." Alyssa said, getting a large bag.

"For how long?" Alice asked. Alyssa picked up a small deck of cards and shuffled with them.

"Just an hour... maybe two if I enjoy myself too much..." Alyssa chuckled, then left through the door.

Eddy's Apartment

He was just coming down the stairs when he bumped into his maid, Nazz. She was 31 and had very short blond hair, wore a green t-shirt and jeans, and was just picking up the laundry. "Eddy, I found you something for your girlfriend like you wanted me to. Check it out." Nazz pulled out a corsage. It was white, and small. Yet blooming and beautiful. "It means, 'I am worthy of you'. Signifying humility and purity." She said.

"Are you kidding me Nazz? This thing is corny as hell. Thanks... now I'll be known as an ass." Eddy scoffed, but took it anyways. Nazz rolled her eyes and walked off to finish the launndry. Eddy's brother then walked inside, talking on his bluetooth.

"Yes, continue on with the report and I'll be there tommorrow early morning." He said, getting out his cell phone.

"Hey, bro! Guess what?" Eddy said excitedly.

"What?"

"Well, I became-"

"Ah, so the investigation was called off?" Eddy sighed, and texted his brother. Eddie's phone vibrated, and he looked at his newest message.

Bro! I became student council president this year!

"That's great! No, not you, my brother." He said. "Eddy, I need to take this. Have a good time at your party." He said, walking up to his office. Eddy sighed, and picked up the corsage and left, knowing there was something he could at least look forward to tonight. He put on his hoodie and sunglasses.

The Party; Kanker Hotel: 10:30PM

"Hmm... the Kankers have done well." Alyssa said, looking around. She was wearing a black and red dress with striped stockings, boots, and her favorite mini cape. The room was lighted with dazzling lamps, and the tables were stocked with food and flowers. People were already dancing, and she merely just blended into the crowd. She continued to shuffle the cards.

"Hey baby." Eddy said, approaching Lee.

"Hey sexy~ Oooh... what is that?" She asked, seeing the box Eddy was holding. He gave it to her. She opened it, and held the corsage.

"It's supposed to mean 'I am worthy of you'. Purity, and humility and stuff..." He said. She looked at him angrily, and threw it in his face.

"Great! Now I feel like a piece of crap! Thanks a lot Eddy!" She yelled, then stomped off. Eddy groaned.

"...Thanks a lot Nazz..." He muttered, then put the corsage on the table, walking off angry. Alyssa came up from behind him, and picked up the corsage and pocketed it, smiling.

"HELP MEEEE!" Double D screamed, Marie chasing him through the crowds of people. Ed hid in the bathroom, whimpering as May banged on the door.

"Now where is that bitch...?" Eddy asked himself, looking around. He then caught her at the dining table. He approached her, and everyone began to crowd. "What do you think you're doing here?" He asked. She remained silent as she ate a small cookie. "You may think I invited you, but really, who would invite a ugly witch like you?" He asked with a sneer. As Double D hung from the chandelier, he saw people ganging up on the careless Alyssa.

"Oh no..." He said, eyes wide. Alyssa drank some punch, and Eddy slapped it out of her hand.

"... You may say that beauty is everything, but on the inside, you're the ugliest of us all." She said, eyes going darker. Eddy was startled at her darkness, but coughed instead, looking around at all the people waiting for his reaction.

"You don't have a ticket, so get the hell out of here." He yelled. People around him sneered at her. Eddy turned to join his girlfriend with a smug face, but looked back at Alyssa to see she had a very evil smile on her face, and in her hand was a small card, and what it read, was 'DEATH'.

"Eddy! You... You..." Double D yelled at his best friend, unable to contain his anger.

"I'm a what? C'mon, say it!" Eddy yelled back.

"...You're a complete ass!" He yelled, surprising them both with his vile language. "I-I mean... that was completely unethical Eddy!" Eddy was grabbed by the arm by Lee. Ignoring Double D, they headed out to the dance floor.

"I knew I was gonna have some fun tonight." She said with a smirk. Eddy began to dance with Lee, and his head began to spin.

"Hey babe! Nice going showing that bitch where her place was!" Lee said, throwing herself on him and slowdancing. Eddy wasn't able to speak as his head kept constantly spinning over and over. "You're looking pale baby!"

"B-Babe... I gotta go..." He said.

"No! Baby!" Lee whined as Eddy left, and left the hotel. He wandered into the alleyways, and fell against the wall.

"Hello eddy..." Alyssa smirked, sitting on the dumpster, holding the card between her fingers.

"YOU! What have you done to me! Did you give me some weird drug?" He asked, his head beginning to clear.

"I have only given you... what you deserve. Now your appearance matches your heart." She said, still smiling. "You're lucky the cards have decided to give you a second chance... I figured the decision would be to kill you." She smiled.

"What are you talking about?" He asked angrily. She pointed behind him, and he looked to see a broken mirror, and what looked back, was a beastly version of himself. His black hair was now all over his face and body. His nose was like a dogs, and two animal ears stuck out of his head. A large bushy tail came out of his pants, and when he looked at his hands, they were furry and had claws. His eyes remained the only thing that stayed the same. "O-Oh my god..." He gaped in horror.

"You have a year to find someone to fall in love with and have that to person feel love towards you. She must say 'I love you', before the year ends, or you will remain in this state... forever." Eddy turned around, angry. But when he did, the girl was already gone.

"NOOOOOO!" He screamed, scaring many people passing by.

Alice's House

Alyssa walked into the house, the two girls watching some old horror flick with monsters attacking the main characters. "Hey Alyssa. How was it?" Alice asked. Alyssa smirked as she hung her mini cape, and handed Alice the corsage.

"Ohh... this is beautiful! Where'd you find it?"

"You like roses, so I picked this up for you. Someone didn't want it." Alyssa said, smiling.

Eddie's apartment

Eddy sat in his room, wearing his hood, sunglasses, and the room was pitch black. His older brother came inside, looking around. "Eddy! How was the party?"

"Eddie, do you love me?" He asked, not looking up.

"What kind of question is that?"

"Answer my question!" Eddy yelled, angry and a growl emerging from his throat.

"What was that? Do you have a dog in here?" He turned on the lights, and grabbed Eddy, then yanked off his hood. He was met with the horror of dog ears. "Eddy... what happened to you?" He asked, looking over his little brother now turned into a mangy mutt anthro.

"I-I was..." Without letting him answer, Eddie grabbed his little brother's wrist, pulled him into the car.

"Don't worry, we'll get you looking right again. I swear." He said, starting up his sports car. Eddy sat silently, replaying the instructions Alyssa had said in his head over and over. You have a year to find someone to fall in love with and have that to person feel love towards you. She must say 'I love you', before the year ends, or you will remain in this state... forever.

An idea sprung in his head. But before he knew it, they had already made it to the surgeons.

Later

"I'm sorry sir, but there isn't anything I can do about your son's condition." The surgeon said, going over Eddy's appearance.

"WHAT? Can't you do something? Give him a pill, shots, ANYTHING?" He asked. Eddy glared at his brother.

"Anything?" Eddy asked, then stomped off back to the car.

"Wait! Eddy! I don't mean it like that!" Eddie chased after him.

Home

The entire ride was silent and awkward until they came into the garage. "Eddy... I didn't mean it-"

"You would have had this ugliness even if it killed me huh?" Eddy asked, glaring at him heavily and snarling a bit, his fangs showing slightly and startling his brother. Eddy sighed, and ran inside to apartment, and jumped into his bed, angry.

A few hours later, Eddy went downstairs when everyone else was in bed, and he stole his brother's keys and left. He drove into downtown Peach City, parked the car in the parking garage near Kanker hotel, and put up his hood and glasses.

He passed the old drug store, but his eye caught something and he looked back, to see Alice there. She was smiling brightly, something he'd never seen this close before. "Thanks." She said, taking the small box of candies from the clerk, and heading for the exit. Eddy looked away, and when she passed him, he smelled her sweet yet spicy shampoo wafting from her hair. Being curious, he followed her discreetly, wondering what she did when school wasn't in session. She went into the alleyway, and gave some food to a homeless woman and her child.

"Thank you Alice."

"How is Brandon?"

"He's doing well... thanks to the medicine you gave him yesterday."

"That's good. Just have him keep resting, and he'll be fine in a few days." She said smiling. Eddy couldn't have been more surprised. This was a side of Alice he had never seen before. Even more interested now, he continued to follow her as she walked down the sidewalks of Peach City. Before he knew it, he was standing outside of Alice's apartment building. She walked inside, and he hid near the stairwell, seeing her in the window now on her laptop. he looked at his watch, and began to walk towards Kanker hotel.

"What was I thinking? That bitch is just... just..." He couldn't find a good word to describe her at all. He sighed, and looked up to see he was already at Kanker Hotel.
