Hi, hi. This chapter features Xanny more because I haven't really said much about her. But if you wanna know more about her then you can ask me or I have a bio on my page. Oh, and I'd also like to send a super-awesome-mega-thankyou to ferretgirlsz for reviewing every chapter so far. And Ozuma thy Awesome for rewieving and making my little Steve-xiao-tu happy with the last chapter of his fic 8D And also thanks to anyone else who reviewed and/or added this story to their favourites/alert.

Disclaimer:

Darren: SL-nee-sama doesn't own me, The Saga of Darren Shan or any of it's characters. But I do love her very much and wish she would forgive me T_T

SL: *Pats head* Okay, I forgive you.

So, I'm in love with Darren. Xan had never admitted it to herself before but it was the truth – she loved Darren Shan.

That's why she had changed him into a girl. She knew that female Darren would most likely end up being her roommate. So she had changed his gender in an attempt to get to know him and spend more time with him.

It had worked. Partially. The only thing was that since Darren was a girl, guys were starting to take an interest in her. And by guys, Xan meant one guy. Evra. He was always with them! The only way they could be alone was if they went inside their tent.

Naturally, Darren was with Evra right then and Xan was in the tent alone.

There was always the option of changing Darren back into a boy. But he would probably stop hanging out with her all together then. She could do a break-up spell on him and Evra? No, he would never forgive her if he found out.

Ah, hell. Xan thought. What am I going to do?

Then she felt something wet dripping down her cheek. Was she crying? She couldn't be! Witches didn't cry. She laughed at herself. And witches didn't fall in love with half-vampires either.

She laughed again. Then she said aloud,

"That...that Darren. Of course I'm not in love with him, but a little love potion wouldn't hurt."

"Hey, Daryl, hey, Evra," Xan said cheerfully.

"Hey, Xan!" Daryl replied, just as cheerfully.

"Hey." Evra mumbled.

"Daryl, I thought you might be thirsty. I bought you some water." Xan pushed the 'water' in Daryl's direction.

"Thanks, Xan!" Daryl replied, taking the bottle enthusiastically.

"Hey, Daryl! Don't drink that! It might be-!"

Evra was too late. Daryl had already taken a big chug of the liquid and was now looking at Xan with adoring eyes.

"Er, Xan?"

"Yes, Daryl?"

"Can I take you out sometime? Like on a date?"

"Sure!"

"Really? Great!" Daryl said before skipping off happily.

Xan gave Evra a little smirk before she started off in the direction that Daryl had just ran off too.

Le gasp! Darren thinks he's in love with Xan! Will Xan get her Darren? Or will Evra find a way to break the spell? Find out next time on *turns dramatically to the camera and raises one eyebrow* Daryl Shan!
