Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's a Vampire. However, I do own my OC's.

So sorry for making you wait for the new update! I have a lot going on this month. I'm helping with decorations for 4-H, and the county fair! That, and I've got a problem with writer's block lately. My other story, 'Halloween' proves it. And please check that one out, and help me with your ideas!

Anyway, my personal life problems aside.

Enjoy!

Chapter 3

New Life

White Chapel

"Okay, now that we have all her stuff upstairs, it's time to go to the airport." Grandma said, as she and the four kids sat down in the living room.

"Oh, I'll go pick Dakota up." Sarah said standing up.

"Ok, thanks. Have Benny and Ethan go with you. I'll watch Jane." she replied. Ethan and Benny followed Sarah out the door.

"Okay, tell me more about Dakota." Sarah asked as she started the car.

"Well, she has a little rat dog, named Checkers." Benny said from the backseat of the car.

"What? It is not a rat dog! It's a black and white Pomeranian puppy." Ethan said from the front seat beside Sarah.

"Wow, care about her much?" She asked.

"No! Kinda." he replied. Sarah gave him a look. "Sorry, Sarah. It's just that when we were ten she came to visit one summer, and she was kinda cute then. It was before I met you."

"Dude! That's my cousin!"

"I know, and I can't wait to see her again!"

"See who again?"

"AHH!" they screamed.

"Rory! Gah!" Ethan yelled. Benny hit him on the upside the head.

"Ow!" he yelled. "So, anyway. Where we goin'?"

"To the airport to pick up my cousin." Benny replied.

"Oohh, is your cousin a hot babe?" he asked.

"According to Ethan." Sarah answered.

"Hey! I said she was cute!" he defended himself. "She's from Malibu, California."

"Wow! Long way from home, then, huh?"

"Yeah. And, again: Dude! That's my cousin!" Benny said.

"C'mon, guys. Just shut-up!" Sarah yelled.

"Sorry, Sarah." The three boys said. They spent a few minutes in silence.

"Hey, guys!"

"AHH!" They all screamed again.

"Erica! What are you doing here?" Sarah asked, as she turned to her vampire friend sitting next to her.

"Just thought I'd,... fly by. See what you were doin'" she replied.

"We're on our way to the airport to pick up Dakota, Benny's cousin. And, according to Ethan over there," Sarah said gesturing towards the boy in the front seat next to Erica. "She is 'hot'."

"Again, I said she was, cute, not hot!" he defended again.

"Hm. Where she from?"

"Malibu, California." Benny said.

"Wow. Where the sun is."

"Yeah..."

"So..."

"...Ummm..."

"What are we talkin' about?"

"Oh, look. We're here." Sarah said boredly. Benny got out of the car and leaned up against the side.

"Well, I'm gonna go find something to eat. So, see ya later." Erica said before she was gone in a flash.

"How about you, Rory? You gonna go some where too?" Ethan asked.

"Yeah, I think I'll just wait to meet Dakota on monday. Bye!" he said as he vanished too.

Ethan turned back to Sarah, who was looking out the window with her arms crossed. He could notice something was wrong with her. "Sarah? You okay?"

"No."

"Why, what's wrong?"

"You."

"What?"

"Oh, don't play games, Ethan!" she snapped, turning towards him. Her eyes glowing green, and her hands resting in her lap. Ethan reached for her hand. When they touched, he immediately had a vision.

"Well, Ethan? Who's it gonna be? Me, or Dakota?" Sarah's voice rang inside his head. Okay, so it wasn't technically a vision. It was more reading her mind, than a vision.

When he came back to the present, he noticed she was looking at him with a sympathetic look, her eyes back to the normal chocolate brown they usually were, as if she knew he'd read her mind.

"Well? What did you see?"

"...Nothing... It's what I heard."

"What?"

"I heard you asking me 'Well, Ethan? Who's it gonna be? Me, or-"

"DAKOTA!" they heard Benny yell.

They saw a curly blonde-haired girl run up to the car with a black and white checkered dog carrier and tote in one hand, a purse and suitcase in the other. "Benny!" she yelled. She put her stuff down by the car and hugged him. "Oh, my god. I missed you!"

"I missed you too." he replied as he hugged her back.

Ethan and Sarah got out of the car to help. "Wait, Ethan." she said, making him turn around. They sat on the hood of the car. "You read my mind, didn't you?"

"Yeah. I didn't mean to! I choose you though. I like you more tha-mmph!" he said, but was cut off by a powerful kiss from Sarah.

"I like you, too." she whispered, breathing hard.

"Hey! Save it for another time! You two have all weekend to do that! Oh, but Ethan? Congratz dude!" Benny said, holding the dog carrier.

Both of them separated quickly, but not before they almost fell off the hood of the car.

"Ethan!" Dakota yelled, running up to him with open arms.

"Hey, Dakota." he said as they hugged. He could feel Sarah's peircing eyes staring at him."Dakota, this is my fri-, I mean girlfriend, Sarah. Sarah, this is Dakota." he said, after he let go. When she didn't, he looked to Sarah, and mouthed the words: 'Help me!'

"Hey, Dakota! You heard him. Now get your hands off my man!" she yelled. Dakota quickly complied.

"Sorry. I get a little carried away sometimes."

"It's fine. As long as you don't do that again." Sarah said.

Benny got in the back seat. Dakota soon follwed suit. Ethan went over to Sarah's side before she did, and opened her door for her. "Thanks." she said. She pulled him into another short kiss, before she got in. After she was in, he closed the door, then got in on his side.

The ride home was spent mostly in silence. Except for Benny and Dakota talking, and catching up on things, and Checker's barked every five minutes.

When they got to the house, Sarah just dropped them off.

"Well, bye, see you guys later." Sarah said, as Jane got in the car. "Oh, and Benny. You were right. We," she looked at Ethan. "do have ALL weekend to do that." she said with a wink. When they pulled out of the drive way, Ethan looked out the window at Benny and smiled, Benny gave him two thumbs up and an equal smile. Then Ethan slid over to sit next to Sarah, and put his arm around her. Jane rolled her eyes, as they drove off to Ethan's house.

Both Benny and Dakota laughed, as they went up the front steps.

"Grandma!" Dakota yelled as she hugged her grandmother.

"Oh, Dakota! How have you been, sweetie?"

"I've been fine! How are you?"

"Oh, just the same."

"Good. Oh, and Mom, Dad and Brendon say hi."

"Tell them I say hi too."

"I will, as soon as I get settled in, I have to call them and tell them I made it safely."

"Ok, and then I want to talk to the both of you."

"Ok." Benny and Dakota said. Then Dakota went up to her room.

Dakota's POV:

When I walked into my room, I noticed the walls were a light purple. The room was big, and also had a loft. When I was little, I wanted a room like this. Well, now I knew to be careful what you wish for. I let Checkers out of her cage, and let her walk around to check the room out too. Then I walked up into the loft, where my bed was, the walls up here are painted dark purple. Purple is my favorite color. My bed was on the side wall, then there was an area for Checkers, and her things. As I put down her bed in the corner, she was sitting on the floor looking out the window at birds flying over head. "You act so much like Tubby!" I laughed. The back wall, that was the back wall of the house, had a huge bay window, with a window seat. The window seat cushion was also purple.

I went back down to the first level of my room. Also on the back wall, there was two big french doors leading to a small balcony, my desk was looking out the extended part of the window. I have a small walk-in closet on the side wall, with a small bathroom next to it. I walked over to my desk, and put my laptop, iPod touch, iPhone and other things on top of it. When I pulled out my notebook, pens, and pencils, I put them in the drawers, and locked the one with my notebook in it. Then I decided to go out on my balcony. There was a little table and two chairs around it on one side of the balcony, on the other side, was a porch swing painted dark purple, with light purple polka-dots on it.

I sat on the swing as Checkers followed me outside. Benny's room was next to mine. I could see his window from where I sat. I looked across the backyard, to the house behind us. The house was close enough to actually see in the window. I noticed it was Ethan's house and window I was looking through when I saw him walk through the door, and to his computer. Then I heard Benny in the next room. His window was open.

"So,... what are you and Sarah up to?" I heard Benny ask.

"Actually, not much. Jane was supposed to go to a friends house for a sleepover tonight, but her friend got sick, so she can't go. Right now, Jane is forcing Sarah to play Dance Dance Revolution with her." Ethan replied.

"Really? Ugh! So sorry, dude!" Benny yelled.

"Hey, Benny! Keep it down, will you? I'm trying to think over here!" I yelled as I leaned over the side of the balcony, and looked into his window.

"Well, Sorry!" he yelled back.

"Is that Dakota?" Ethan asked, looking at me.

"Hey, Ethan!" I replied. Then, I went back in my room.

"Where'd she go?" Ethan asked.

"I'm right here." I replied as I entered Benny's room. I pulled up a chair, and sat next to Benny.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were thinking." Benny asked.

"I was, for Ethan's sake." I replied.

They both looked at me confused. "Huh?" They said at the same time.

I rolled my eyes. "Dorks. Ethan, I have an idea."

"Okay, I'm listening" he said.

"What if Jane comes over here for awhile? Then, you and Sarah have the house to yourselves."

"That is a good idea. But, I wouldn't do that to you."

"Why not? She can't be that bad."

"She is. Once, I had to give her fifty dollars, just because I wouldn't play a game with her!" Benny chimes in.

"Wow. I'm so sorry, Ethan."

Just then, we heard the song 'A Place In This World' by Taylor Swift play. It was my phone.

"What's that?" Ethan asked.

"My phone. I'll be right back." I said as I got up and went back into my room.

When I got to my phone I saw it was Brendon. I picked it up, and answered it. "Miss me already?" I asked as I walked out on the balcony.

"I missed you before you even left!" he answered. I laughed.

"So did you like the surprise?" I asked.

"Yeah! Thanks."

"You're welcome. So what's up?" I asked as I sat down in one of the chairs.

"Mom wanted to know if you got there safely."

'Oops, forgot to call mom.' I remembered. "Oh, yeah. I'm all settled in, and everything."

"Oh. Is Benny there?" He asked. I knew he would ask for him sooner or later. Brendon absolutey LOVED Benny. The last time me, Mom, Dad, and Brendon visited, Brendon was four, and Benny, Ethan and I were ten. Benny even called him his little brother once.

"Yeah, hang on." I walked back to Benny's room. "Benny. It's Brendon, he wants to talk to you." I said handing him the phone.

He was really excited when he took the phone. He got up and sat on his bed. "Hey li'l man!" he said, starting the conversation.

I turned to Ethan, who was looking down with a detemined face. "Uh,... you okay, Ethan?" I asked.

"What? Oh, yeah. Just trying to think."

Just then, Sarah walked through the door, turned around and locked it. Then came up to Ethan. "Hey Sarah." Me and Ethan said.

"Oh, hey Dakota. Ethan and I gotta go. Jane and I were playing Dance Dance Revolution for three hours! And then she fell asleep downstairs. So now me and Ethan have some free time on our hands, soo... Bye!" she said hurriedly, then the screen turned black.

I laughed and rolled my eyes. 'Ah, young love.' I thought.

"Okay, bye, Brendon." Benny said and hung up. He handed me the phone. "He has my number, right?" he asked.

"Yeah, when I got the phone, I gave him yours, and Ethan's numbers."

"Oh, I can't believe that you actually bought him an iPhone 4, a webcam, AND a new laptop! With your own money!"

"Yeah, well, I've been babysitting alot this past month. And since I was living in such a rich neighborhood, and all the kids were really spoiled, rude, and snobby, their parents paid me from 100-200 dollars. So, by the end of the month, I had more than enough money for the laptop, webcam and phone. And I used some of the money left over for new clothes."

"Wow. So you still have money left over?" he asked, standing up. I knew what he was getting at.

"Yes, I have about 600 dollars left." I saw his shocked expression, I laughed. "Would you like to come with me and get new video games?"

"YES! Oh, man. Is Ethan gonna be jealous!"

"Um, I think he won't mind." I said pointing out the window at Ethan's window. "Sarah locked the door even. Jane fell asleep."

"Wow, that lucky dog!" He said as he watched Sarah wave at them, then close the window and curtains.

"Well, come on. Before we go to the mall, I think Grandma wanted to talk to us."

Okay, there's chapter 3! Hope you liked it!
