So, I promised I'd update all of my fics today in honor of how excited I was for Haunt the Halls: Monster High Day but today was actually a big let down. But a promise is a promise so I did update all my fics, including the Sam Grest one that's on hiatus. And I'll also have a Monster High oneshot up later, also in honor of Haunt the Halls. Oh, and for Haunt the Halls you're supposed to cosplay as your favourite monster so I cosplayed as Daryl with cat ears XD I can send you the link if anyone wants to see it.

SL: *Sits in emo corner, growing mushrooms*

Chibi Steve: What's wrong with her?

Evra: She was excepting her favourite character to make an apperance in the special Friday the 13th episode of Monster High but he didn't show up.

Chibi Steve: Hey, SL-nee-sama, if you're so upset about him not appearing in the episode then why don't you just bring him here?

SL: That's a good idea, Stevey-poo! And SL-nee-sama said, "Let there be Holt!"

Holt: Where am I? Hey, it's daytime! I'm not supposed to exist in daytime!

SL: But this is daytime in Fanfiction World.

Holt: Ahh.

SL: I am now your master and you must refer to me as SL-nee-sama. Now, do the disclaimer.

Holt: SL-nee-sama doesn't own The Saga of Darren Shan or any of it's characters. Nor does she own me, I'm from the Monster High line by Mattel.

SL: Good boy. Here's some chicken wings.

"The Cirque is moving on today," Daryl said. "Xina, are you coming?"

"No, I think I'll head back home. There's no use me being here." Xina shrugged.

Evra frowned.

"That's too bad. You're welcome to come see us anytime though." Daryl replied.

"Speak for yourself." Xan muttered but everyone ignored her.

"Hey, has anybody seen Steve?" Daryl asked.

"I haven't seen him since last night," Evra responded. "Why?"

"I'm worried about him," When she saw the guilty look on Evra's face she quickly added on: "But I'm sure he's fine."

"Yeah," Evra murmured.

Just then, the grey-haired boy appeared, looking as if yesterday's events had never happened. He had a blue-haired boy under one arm and a glass bottle under the other.

"This is some kid I found trolling the Cirque," Steve explained. "Let's play Spin the Bottle!"

Spin the Bottle is random. No-one knows where the bottle will end up so Steve would never play it unless there was a 100% change he would end kissing Darren. Before the game had started, he had put a magnet inside of the bottle and put a giant paper clip in his pocket so when it was Darren's turn, the bottle had to stop at him. Take that, Evra.

Everyone, including the nameless blue-haired boy, was now sat in a circle around the bottle. When Darren shyly asked who should go first, Evra and Xan both encouraged him to, both thinking that they'd actually get a shot at kissing him. Both of them glared at Steve with an obvious look of jealousy when the bottle stopped in front of him. Steve just laughed.

"Close your eyes." He said.

Darren blushed. "O-okay,"

Without a second thought, Steve smacked his lips against the half-vampire's, having waited too long already for their first kiss. Darren kissed back, but not as forcefully. After a while, the two broke away for air. Neither of them said anything after that. They just blushed and tried not to look each other in the eye.

"My go!" Evra announced, taking the bottle from the centre and spinning it before anyone else even had the chance to think.

Steve realized much too late that he still had the paperclip in his pocket and that the magnet was still in the bottle. He realized just when the bottle froze in front of him.

"No way am I kissing him!" Both Evra and Steve shouted in unison.

"But you have to," Xan replied. "It's the rules of the game."

"But it's supposed to go boy-girl." Steve argued.

"Well, this time it's boy-boy so get lip-smacking, Lover Boy!" Xan grinned.

Steve narrowed his eyes at her but there was nothing he could do. "L-let's just get this over with."

The two then leaned forward and just as their lips were about to touch, Xan cried,

"Oh, and you have to kiss him for as long as you kissed Daryl!"

Steve screwed up his face at that but he had no choice. The two boys began kissing.

This is gross. Steve thought. This is vile. This is absolutely horrible. This is…this isn't actually all that bad.

The two of them broke away when the time limit was up but Steve thought he probably could've gone on kissing Evra much longer.

Ew, no. What am I thinking? I just kissed Evra, for crying out loud!

He then made a big show of complaining about how gross it was and how he never wanted to kiss another snake-boy for as long as he lived. He thought he saw a look of surprise on Evra's face for a moment but it was gone as quickly as it came. Soon Evra was complaining about how terrible a kisser Steve was too.

"I-I don't want to play anymore." Steve grumbled before leaving the group.

"Me neither." Evra agreed. He too ran off but in a different direction to Steve.
