Me: Hey guys. I know I promised to update SC first but this chapter was beggin' to be typed.

Zoey: You spelled 'begging' wrong

Me: I'm Texan and from the country. Wait did ya expect?

Zoey: '0_0 Okay….Julianna Tala does not own TMM, MMP, or Twilight.

Me: If I did, Dren would have gotten the girl, Sardon and Bridget would be together, and it would have been cooler with more adventures. On with the show!

"I didn't know one could eat that much in one sitting."

"Well, she did say that she was hungry."

"But really, the way she's wolfing down those pies, it makes Zoey look like she has manners of a princess."

"Hey, I resent that!"

Everybody was now back at the café, watching Roxane devour any food that came her way. So far, she had eaten 6 pies of blueberry, apple, and peach, 3 chocolate cakes, 4 lunch crepes, and 5 kettles of jasmine tea. Finally with a big content sigh and a filled belly, she leaned back on the chair seat and smiled, "That was the greatest. I for once feel full. My compliments to the chef."

The girls had already changed back into their normal outfits and had changed into their work uniform, while the boys were left in the restaurant with Roxane while Brontes left with a much freaked out Elliot to the backroom for changing. It was safe to say that Elliot did not like wolves….well... wolves that were about as tall him on all fours. Wesley had gone ahead and combined several tables to arrange sitting for everybody with a couple of snacks here and there (not including the entrée that Roxane completely devoured).

Everybody took a seat, Dren and Zoey sat closely next to each other while Bridget sat on Sardon's lap with much of Bridget's protests and squeaks, and Tarb stood behind Kiki's seat. Renee and Corina took their own seats as Zoey took the first question, "So Roxane, did you remember where you came from or what you're doing before you came here?"

Roxane looked up for a moment before replying, "Well, Brontes and I were in our father's garage along with our Uncle Seth and Dad. We working on a couple cars that were need of some tuning and Dad had asked Brontes to run an errand into town right quick while he and Uncle Seth close shop."

"So you work as a mechanic?" Kiki questioned.

"Yep," Roxane nodded cheerfully. "Proud mechanic since the day I crawled. Anyway I went with Brontes to lend a hand and I was bored. We live in town where the forest around the area was always thick so we thought it would be easier to shift and make the run since the errand was on the reservation."

Tart shot up his hand, "Hey, hold on. What's a reservation?"

"It's an area that was arranged by the government for people with aboriginal blood to live off on," Sardon filled in impassively.

Roxane continued from there, "Right. Anyway Brontes and I were in our wolf shapes when a growing rift appeared in right in front of us. Luckily, we were in the forest at the time so nobody else was pulled in. I don't know how but that rift had some gravitational pull and sucked us in. By the time we knew it, we were in your world."

"So then the question remains on how to get you back," Elliot appeared from the hallway. All the girls looked back at Elliot when they noticed tall boy behind him that was dressed in a pair of baggy black cargo pants and a dark blue tshirt with a white calligraphic cross. He had similar characteristics to Roxane, however instead of tanned skin; his was almost pasty white, close to Dren, Sardon, and Tarb's. His hair was ink black as well that was a combination of tousled and spiked. Finally what set his strong aura were his chocolate eyes and an ever deep scowl. For the guys, the look from this guy was just plain unnerving, for the girls it was mix of scary and curiosity. They didn't think that this guy would ever willing smile. It was kind of hard to image that this hard guy was twins with a cheery and peppy girl.

Brontes walked over to the table and pulled up a chair next to his sister, further exhibiting his tall stature to Roxane's. For the most part, he just sat there, looking at the group with his still scowl covering his face.

Dren, from where he was sitting next to Zoey, he sticked out his thumb towards Brontes, "Is he mad at something?"

"Nope, that's just his usual face." Roxane laughed at the somewhat surprised faces that drew from Zoey, Corina, and Kiki. "Don't worry. After a while, that scowl of his will disappear."

Kiki, due to simple monkey curiosity, couldn't help but poke a finger at Brontes's face, but quickly withdrew after contact, "He's hot!"

Tarb scowled at her response, "Hey, hey! He doesn't need to know that." Brontes's eyebrow arched a little but his scowl didn't change.

"No, seriously," Kiki quickly chirped. "His skin is blazing hot, like he just got done a full-length marathon." She quickly grabbed a hold of Roxane's wrist across the table and pulled back immediately too after contact, "Her skin's icy cold," she shivered, feeling the goose bumps travel up and down her back. She put her hands into her apron pockets to warm them back up.

Roxane couldn't help but grin sheepishly, "Yeah, like I said, we are not normal."

"Define normal for you." Corina crossed her arms and straightened her back a bit to emphasize the comment.

Roxane tapped a finger at her chin before asking, "Anybody got a piece of paper on them?"

Renee pulled out her order tab and ripped one empty tab, handing her the paper with backside up. Roxane held out a palm towards her brother and right on cue, Brontes pulled a pencil from one of his pants pockets. Now Wesley and Elliot joined the group around the table to see what Roxane was drawing. Once she was done, she turned the piece of paper around so the others could see.

"Ok. In your world, you have the paranormal side and the human side. Basic rule of our worlds is that don't reveal yourself to humans unless certain circumstances pop up." She pointed to a very detailed rose with the tips of its petals darkened and a crescent moon. "In the paranormal side, you've got vampires on one side and werewolves and shifters on the other."

She looked back up to the group to see Zoey with curious face. "So what's this have to do with you?"

"Let me explain," Roxane continued, "Mainly, vampires don't exactly see eye-to-eye with werewolves or 'Children of the Moon' as the like to call themselves. In fact, they're mortal enemies. Why? I don't know. Anyway, what happened was our father," she gestured towards Brontes and herself, "he's a born shifter but his tribe and he were taught that they were werewolves, fell in love or 'imprinted' on our mother who is a human/vampire hybrid and that caused a huge mess for both sides."

"Wait, how is someone a human/vampire hybrid?" Sardon questioned.

Roxane couldn't help but laugh, "Well, when two people are very much in love with each other, they—"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't say it in front of the kids," Zoey jumped out of her chair and covered Kiki's ears while Dren covered Tarb's ears. Kiki looked surprised by Zoey's actions while Tarb just looked plain annoyed.

Roxane laughed again, "Oh come on. I couldn't help myself."

Sardon let out an almost inaudible growl that Bridget only heard. "Answer the damn question." Not liking the way Roxane kind off toyed with the discussion. Bridget placed her hand on his pale one, calming him down slightly.

"Well, like I said—"

"Our mother was born between the union of our grandparents. When our grandmother got married to our grandfather, she was still human, so on the honeymoon, she got pregnant while she was still human."

Everybody turned their eyes to Brontes as he explained. It was funny. He was like a Sardon replica, same dead serious face, same monotone of voice, heck, even the same bored expression that replaced his scowl. Roxane turned with complaining look, "Hey, I was getting to that."

"You took too long and more than likely would have started some sort of trouble, knowing you."

Roxane pouted, "Spoilsport."

Brontes only response was silence.

Bridget began to ask Roxane the question that was forming her mind, having caught something that said earlier, "If both your bodies contain the genetics of vampires, werewolves, and human, why is it that when Brontes changes, he has to find the nearest clothing store, and you don't?"

Roxane smiled slightly at this, "I was wondering when that question popped up." She got up from her seat and walked around the group. She stood near where Zoey and Dren where. "Like I said, we were far from normal, even by the standards of vampires and werewolves."

She lightly touched Dren's shoulder before she moved away. Standing in a few feet away from them, she closed her eyes and concentrated her mind. Before they knew it, Dren's Dragon sai's where right in her hand. Everybody was taken back at this, even the guys. Roxane let the sai's disappear again before concentrating again, this time she levitated her body just a few feet from the café's floor before setting her feet on the ground again.

She looked back at the group and grinned mischievously, "Everybody has a gift when they are born. When a human is turned into a vampire, sometimes the heighten senses will pick up this power and allow it to manifest itself in the host's body; however the power at times will be unpredictable. Most of our family on our mother's side has a power or a 'Gift' as we like to call it. This is also were genetics has a hand in this."

She walked back to where Brontes was sitting, "Since our parents were very different, so are we. I look like someone from our tribe; I also act like a werewolf as far as eating habits and attitude wise but I can't normally shift into a wolf but I do have a vampire gift, which is the power of imitation. Brontes here," she patted her brother's shoulder, "He acts, looks, and eats like a vampire, but he has the werewolf gene."

Corina looked a little pale at the last sentence, "When you say vampire, do mean…," she pointed out.

"She means that given a choice, I prefer to drink blood rather than eat." Brontes brusquely answered.

The girls' backs immediately straighten and their eyes shot open. Did he say blood? They all thought. Zoey's chair back peddled a few feet away from the table. Corina just slightly chocked on her tea. Kiki and Tarb hugged each other for comfort, though Bridget just squeaked and sought out the comfort of her boyfriend while Renee, Elliot, Sardon, Wesley, and Dren just looked indifferent.

Roxane just laughed at the groups' expression. Really, it was just to fun to tease them. "Don't worry. He can survive on regular food. He just prefers blood like a kid would prefer to chocolate to vegetables."

This time, it was Elliot who asked the question, "So does this mean that we have to rob a blood bank or the nearest hospital ever time you guys get hungry?"

"Nope. Just give us the nearest forest area around here with wildlife and that will take care of the rest. We grew up with the rule of never taking blood from humans so we live off animal blood. Think of us as vegetarian vampires." Roxane sat back down again next Brontes as the girls breathes a huge sigh of relief.

Elliot scratched his chin before concluding, "So that means that everybody will have to be careful with sharp objects from now on. That means no more juggling plates around, Kiki."

"Aww! No fair! Those tricks are the best ones I have for the café," said monkey girl whined.

"Yeah and about half the time, you end up dropping them," Corina replied.

"Well, how about we start opening the café." Wesley clapped his hands to gather attention. "I'm sure a little bit of service will help settle things down a bit."

The girls, including Roxane and Brontes, got up to reset the tables while Sardon pulled Dren and Tarb into the kitchen.

Sardon dug through his pants pocket to pull out a capsule full of pills. Fishing out three, he gave one each to both of them and himself. Finally Dren asked, "Sardon? What the heck are these things?"

"Think of them as medicine. They will help disguise our true form while we take on the appearance of humans," he answered, putting away the capsule while materializing three glasses of water. "Until I find a more suitable way of doing this, these capsules will have to do for now."

Tarb looked at the palm of his hand that held the medicine, before looking back up at Sardon. "How do you know these things will work?"

"What choice do we have?" Sardon sighed. "We can't exactly go walking around having people going into panic and causing more trouble for us in our normal forms."

All three stood in silence for a few minutes before Dren stepped forward. "Well. Bottoms up." And with that, he drank the pill down in seconds before materializing the glass away. He didn't feel anything for a couple of minutes and then he felt his body grow slightly heavy. He closed his eyes tight and let the change flow through him. The transformation happened fast and kind of left Dren in a daze. He felt his body's molecules and skin hum with modification and adaptation. Just as it came, it stopped.

Once he opened his eyes again, he looked towards his brothers to find that they held surprise expressions on their faces. "Well? How do I look?"

Just as they were going to answer, Zoey popped through the kitchen doors. "Hey, guys. Elliot wants to kno—WHO THE HECK IS THIS GUY?" she half-yelled, pointing at Dren.

"Kitten, calm down." Dren tried, getting close to Zoey so he could place his hands on her shoulders. "It's me."

Zoey's face changed from surprise to recognition in no time at all, "Dren? Ohmygod, Dren! What happened?"

Dren pouted a little at his kitten's surprised voice, "Do I look that bad?"

She was taken back a little, "Bad?" she blushed slightly after taking in his new form before quietly adding, "I think you look great."

Dren contentedly asked, "Really?"

Zoey dug through her apron pocket for her compact mirror and flipping it open towards him, "Have a look."

Dren took the mirror from her hand and began to examining himself. The first thing he noticed was that his ears were replaced by round human ones and his hair was black. Kind of like the same color he would see so many times during the night with the moon and the stars out. His eye color didn't change but his pupils were less cat-like and his skin was held a little more color than Zoey's skin tone. He looked down on his body and noticed that his clothing changed from his usual midriff top and pants to a dark brown shirt with emerald green claw markings and a dark blue pair of pants with brown tennis shoes. So far he liked the changes.

He turned back to Tarb and Sardon for his approval. "Well, I think it's safe to say that these things work."

With that, Sardon and Tarb drank their part of the medicine while Zoey led Dren out of the kitchen. Dren lightly took her hand in his. "Hey, Zoey. You know what this means. Now I can get you on one of those dates I promised you."

Zoey couldn't help but laugh, "Was trying to get rid of us by sending Predacites after us your version of asking me out or was it trying to kidnap me while I was sick?"

Dren grinned a smile that was the cross between sheepish and impish, "Come on, kitten. You know I love you. So how about it?" He began running his hands that were claw-free up and down her sides, lightly tickling the girl's sides.

"Alright, alright!" Zoey laughed as she pulled away from his tickling embrace. "We'll go on one as soon as we are done here. By the way, Elliot says that since you and the others are staying here on Earth, you might as well have a job here at the café."

Dren gave Zoey a skeptical look, "Really? Is that what he said? He doesn't seem to come across as the ordinary nice guy."

She agreed with him by nodding her head, "Usually he isn't. I think he doesn't fully trust you guys yet, so this could be a way to keep tabs on you."

Dren pondered this for a moment and encircled his arms around Zoey's tiny waist. "Well, I heard an Earth saying once don't look a gifted horse in the mouth, so I guess I really shouldn't care whether or not he trust us at the moment as long as I can be with you."

They stood there for awhile in each other's embrace, Zoey laying her head against his heart and Dren buried his nose in her crimson locks, before they were interrupted by Roxane, causing both of them to jump, "Hey love birds. Get a move on. The café is about open."

Dren lightly swore at the disappearing dark-head and Zoey just lightly laughed. She gave Dren a chaste kiss on the cheek before pulling back to the café.

At the end of the day with a very silent cafe, everybody was wiped.

Dren flopped down on the nearest chair next to Zoey who was eating some of the leftover pastries. "You know kitten," he lazily draped an arm around her shoulders, "I always wondered why you always complained about being so tired after working. Now I know why."

He slightly glared at Corina who sitting at another table sipping her tea. "Hey. I am working. I'm staying out of her way." All she got was an agitated glare from him and she returned with one of her one.

Kiki chose this time to roll between them with her giant ball. "No fighting after work!"

"We are all tired," Tarb agreed as he sat down next to Dren, snatching a cookie from the plate of leftovers that Zoey was munching on. Tarb's human disguise didn't differ much from his regular look except that he had a slightly darker skin tone and round human ears. Needless to say, Kiki thought he was handsome either which way, though she preferred him in his alien form.

Renee and Wesley were in the kitchen prepping the ingredients for tomorrow. Sardon, who now was sporting the same skin tone as Tarb and a pair of human ears too, was reluctantly helping Elliot update the surveillance system for any other Cyniclons and Roxane and Brontes decided to help Bridget with inventory. Wesley had given the boys, including Brontes, each a work uniform that looked somewhat like his except the vest each supported the boys own colors: Dren with emerald green, Tarb with red, Sardon with a mixture of gray and purple and Brontes with blue(A/N: Think Tasuku's outfit from TMM a la Mode). He had also given Roxane a waitress outfit that matched the girls with its Mahogany color.

Throughout the day, all the girls went gaga over the new waiters, much to an angry Zoey whenever one of the customers tried to slip their numbers into Dren's pockets. That changed however when they caught Dren giving Zoey surprise kisses every hour or so. This left a lot of unhappy girls and one certain kitten very happy. Tarb was too busy helping Kiki with her tricks that didn't involve rolling around on her circus ball and Sardon would always stick close to Bridget, avoiding any leading hints from other girls.

Brontes would help Renee bus food while Roxane would help in the kitchen. Corina, of course, was sitting at her usual table drinking tea.

As Kiki sat down with Brontes and Roxane who came back from the pantry, the café door chimed opened. Zoey reluctantly got up and went to greet the customer, "I'm sorry but we are closed for today."

The customer smiled softly, "That's alright. Hope I'm not bothering anybody but I'm looking for a certain somebody."

By now, Dren and Roxane got up to see the customer while Tarb, Kiki and Brontes turned their head towards the door. The customer was tall man that looked to be in his mid-twenties. He was dressed in a light collared shirt with dark pants and had a beige trench coat around him. What caught Zoey's and Corina's attention was that he had dark green hair and a pair of squared glasses. Why does he look familiar? they both thought.

"Hey guys, who's at the door?"

Everybody turned to see Bridget coming out of the hallway with Sardon right behind her. The next thing they knew, the group was pushed aside by the man who ran up to Bridget to pull her away from a much ticked Sardon and into a big bear hug that lifted her off the ground. "Bridget! I can't believe it's you! You've grown into a beautiful girl, but you're still the cute little sister that I know and love!"

The man swung Bridget around and around before she had to grab onto his shoulders, "Aidan! Put me down," she dizzily. The man reluctantly let go off a still spinning, swirly-eyed Bridget who was caught into Sardon's arms, still keeping the scowl on his face. Bridget stopped her vision from spinning as she introduced the man. "Everybody, this is my older brother, Aidan. He was away at university for the past four years."

Bridget got pulled again from Sardon and into a small circle that included everybody. "How come you didn't tell us you had an older brother?" Zoey questioned.

"You never asked." Bridget replied simply.

"But still, you should have warned us that he was coming for a visit," Corina lightly scolded.

"I honestly didn't know when he was coming. My little brother said that he was coming home for Christmas, but I didn't think he would show up in two weeks advance." Bridget looked back on her brother who has having a glaring contest with Sardon. It was, literally, like watching the gaze snap between the two.

Dren and Zoey followed Bridget's gaze and began to feel uneasy. "You might want to loosen the tension between those two." Zoey patted her friend's shoulder.

Bridget walked over to Sardon as he asked. "So this is your brother?"

"Yes," she nodded, not letting the situation scare her. She turned towards her brother who was still glaring daggers at Sardon. "Aidan, this is Sardon. Sardon, I believe you already know about my brother."

Aidan stuck out his hand with a smile that matched his menacing aura around him, "The pleasure is all mine."

Sardon shook his hand but still kept his scowl. "Likewise, I'm sure."

After a crushing grip contest, Aidan let go of his hand and began to ask, "All right. I'm going to be blunt." He pointed a finger at Sardon. "What's your relationship with my cute sister?"

"Wow. When he said blunt he wasn't kidding," whispered Dren to Zoey as the rest watched from the sidelines. Zoey nodded her head as agreement.

Sardon didn't hesitant in his answer. "Simple," he wrapped a protective arm around Bridget's waist and pulled her close to his side, "I'm her boyfriend."

Me: Aaannndd scene! Cliffhanger! Yes I'm that evil. Sorry if anything seemed out of place or if any characters were OOC (Bows respectively)

Zoey: No fair! I want to know what happens between those two.

Me: Well you just have to wait. If you're that bored, go make out with Dren.

Zoey: (Turns bright red) Shut up! Dren and I don't make out, we just kiss!

Dren: (Teleports right next to Zoey and hugs her) You rang?

Zoey: (Screams and turns into a cat) Nya! Mew mew meow meow? meow meow MEOW! HISS! (What? What the heck just happened? Change me BACK!)

Me: What's she sayin'?

Dren: I don't know. I don't speak cat.

Me: -_- This is goin' to be awhile...
