A/N- Wassup! I am TOBN writing a new chapter! I am starting this chapter on Sunday, but most likely it will be posted on Monday. I already planned this 3 part finale, and I hope it'll be sweet and exciting. I didn't quite like the whole Cubile Animus plot and the Spellmaster's Memories, so I changed it up to give you quite a fright for Benny's safety...oops spoiler! Anyway thank you marcusg655 for giving this story its first (and probably its last since it's ending) favourite! A basket of imaginary cookies to you!
But let's not forget my fave reviewer MBAV Fan!
MBAV Fan- I am so happy that you are enjoying my story. I feel like you're my Fanfic Buddy! OMG that can so happen! So from now on, I'm your Fanfic Bud! If you need any help with future stories, PM me! You have always been there for me with my first story, and I wish I can give you real cookies, but unfortunately this is the internet and I can only give you imaginary cookies. So there you go! Enjoy the story!
Enjoy this chapter, it is pretty funny in my opinion (if it isn't, I guess I have a lame sense of humor) And it will be the longest, so don't get bored and bring out popcorn, because it's gonna be intense!
Disclaimer- I don't own MBAV or its characters, just Sky and the plot twist. If I did own it, Benny and Ethan would be on their 4th year anniversary by now (changing up the disclaimer pairings! Next disclaimer: Bennica!) I also don't own Love Story by Taylor Swift, or the Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Friends- Chapter 8- The Dusk Premiere
Sky's POV
We prepared all weekend for the battle, which Rory decided to call "The Super Ultimate Boss Level of Cooler Vampires and Humans VS the Less Cool Vampires (TSUBLOCVAHVTLCV for short)." He's such a blonde ditz, but I love him for that!
We started gathering materials on Saturday night. We snuck into the neighbor's backyard and we tried to rip off fence posts to use as stakes. Unfortunately, Benny accidently smashed a hammer on Ethan's hand. He almost yelled in pain, but if it wasn't for Erica, we would've got caught. Erica gagged him with her hand while Sarah ripped of fence posts for each of us with some super strength. We then started to go to the local church and grabbed filled one gas tank and a bunch of water guns with holy water. The church minister came out. Luckily, Benny distracted him with some questions about some Spanish mass as we snuck out before the church minister could catch us. We spent the night breaking pencils in half and put them in Ethan's Nerf darts. Jane agreed to help us after Ethan paid her.
We decided that it would be better to tell our parents (minus Sarah's, Erica's, and Rory's parents, since we hardly see them) about the supernatural events and our newfound powers, since we probably couldn't lie to them for long. Surprisingly, they had powers of themselves too. Ethan's mom was a spellmaster, so we found out that Jane got spellmaster powers from Mrs. Morgan. She was thrilled, saying that she could magically do homework and make herself rich. She had a lot to learn. Ethan got his Seer powers from his dad, who was Seer and has developed telepath powers as well, so Ethan has to learn about that stuff too. Apparently, my mom and dad are first rate spell masters. They wanted to start my training when I was 18, but Mrs. Weir persuaded them to start early. I was proud to be from a family of spellmasters.
On Sunday, we started training. Even if Jane wasn't coming with us to the battle, Ethan's mom wanted to start training her. Ethan's dad was teaching Ethan how to use both his seer powers and his telepath powers. Rory and Sarah were being taught by Erica on how to fight; since Erica has seen how Jesse fights, she knew his weaknesses, and how to reveal them. As for me and Benny, Evelyn was teaching us how to control our magic, since both of us came from a powerful line of spellmasters. Sadly, Benny made his spellbook disappear, so we had to share one while Evelyn tried to bring it back Benny needed a few more practices. In between breaks, I saw him read a book, but I don't know which one.
By the end of Sunday, Ethan could move things with his mind, Erica, Rory, and Sarah could fight with their eyes closed, and Benny and I could cast spells like boss. We smile proudly as we go our separate ways. Tomorrow is gonna be a big day.
My parents allowed Benny to sleepover at our house for the night. This was the perfect time to try and help Benny remember a little more about himself. I brought him to my room. He sat on my bed as I pull up a PowerPoint I made on my computer. "Watch this" He nodded, eyes focusing on the screen. A song started to play.
We were both young
When I first saw you
I close my eyes
As the flashback starts
You're standing there
On a balcony in summer air.
A picture of a younger Ethan, Rory, and I popped up. "Where was this?" he asked. I smiled. "This was the first time we went to the arcade together. That bear I'm holding, you won that for me." I smile, remembering the memory. He smiles too as the song plays on.
And you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said
Stay away from Juliet
But you were everything for me
I was begging you please don't go
And I said
A picture of me and Benny hugging trees in the woods. I smile; this was one of the best moments we ever had. "This was the night...after your parent's funeral." He frowned. I tried to get him happy again. "So we snuck out into the woods when my parents were sleeping. I brought you there so you could start bawling your eyes out without anyone noticing. You felt so much better." I said, starting to tear up at the memory. I could tell Benny was about to tear up as well. He nodded for me to go on. I clicked the next slide.
Romeo take me
Somewhere we could be alone
I'll be waiting
All you have to do is run
You'll be the prince
And I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby just say yes.
The next slide showed everyone, including Erica, Rory, and Sarah, laughing at Ethan because he messed up his bowling shot. Benny looked at me confused. "Vampires don't show up on film..." he mused out loud. "I was so sad that I couldn't take pictures of my closet friends because they are vampires, so I asked your grandma if she could put an enchantment on my camera, and voila! This was the night when we went bowling when you were in that coma." I grinned as he smiled. "You need to take me bowling sometime" I nodded.
The slideshow ended a few hours later. We were laughing at all the memories. By the end, Benny knew a little more about himself. Sadly his eyes stayed blue, just until the spell was broken. We decided to go to bed, since it was already midnight.
We shared a bed. Benny ran his fingers through my hair. I giggle. This is where our conversation got serious.
"Have you ever read The Fault in Our Stars?" I nodded. Both the movie and the book were so emotional. He continued on.
"I was reading it when we were training with...grandma was it?" I nodded; he starting to learn a little more. And he was reading TFIOS? How strange for Benny.
"Augustus and Hazel had that whole 'okay' thing and I was wondering, since we are best friends like you told me so, what could be our 'okay'? It could be like something to remember our friendship, even if I can't." I started to tear up, how sweet of Benny! I wonder for a moment. "Hey." I said. It sounded pretty stupid, but it was a little cute. He grinned. "'Hey' now is our 'okay'" He said smiling as I smile back. We drifted off to sleep. I could hear his last words.
"I want to remember you." I smile as sleep consumed me.
*Time Skip* *Time Skip* *Time Skip*
Ethan's POV
W e arrive at the movie theatre with our equipment. Sarah opened the back door and we snuck in.
"Let's get this party started!" Sarah exclaimed. "Should I go over the plan one more time?" I said. They all nodded.
"Okay, Benny and Sky: Team Hey. (They insisted)." They smile as I go on. "You guys are going to go after Jesse and the Cubile Animus, since Jesse has Benny's memories. He should be going to the big tree in my backyard according to my vision. If you need help, my parents, Sky's parents, Jane and Evelyn will be there for magical backup. We'll meet you there as soon as we are done here." They nodded.
"Rory and Erica: Team...Dusk." Rory rolled his eyes as Erica squealed. "You guys will fight off any vamps in the theatre. Make sure you stop them from sucking souls and biting humans. When you're done, meet us here and we'll go to Team Hey together." They nodded as I went on. "Sarah and I are Team 'Too Cool for you'" Sarah rolls her eyes; she thinks the name was too long. I chose it and I think it's suitable. "We are going to stop any vamps who try to get in the theatre. We'll be waiting for you here, so don't be quick" I continued to the last team.
"Team Awesome is Evelyn, my parents, Sky's parents, and Jane." We all sigh; Evelyn chose the name to sound cool, but it was pretty lame. "They are going to help us in my backyard as any magical backup." We all nodded as we grabbed the walkie talkies from my duffle bag. "Okay guys, wait for the signals and we'll be fine." Rory grinned. "Let The Super Ultimate Boss Level of Cooler Vampires and Humans VS the Less Cool Vampires begin!" He smiles as we all walk into the theatre.
Mission Dusk is a go.
-With Team 'Too cool for you'"-
Third Person POV
Sarah and Ethan walked into the snack area. The employee walked up to us. "Would y'all like anything to order? Popcorn's free tonight." They thought about it. "Why the hell not? Give us an extra large please." Sarah said. The girl smiled, as she got the popcorn. When she handed it to them, she flirted with Ethan.
"So, you have any plans tonight boy?" She smiled seductively as Ethan grinned. "You have no idea". Sarah looked furious as she came up with a devious plan. She grabbed Ethan's hand as she pinned him to the wall. "Sarah?" Ethan looked nervous. She kissed him passionately. Ethan looked surprised, but he eventually kissed back. The employee stomped off. They both stop, gasping for air as they blush.
"You weren't doing that because you were jealous... right?" She grinned.
"You better make it out alive so we can go out for dinner" she said seductively. He grinned.
"FIRE!" Rory's scream could be heard through the theatre. Sarah grabbed Ethan's hand. Ethan thought happy thoughts as he fought off vampires.
I wonder if she likes Italian...
-With Team Awesome-
"Do you have a 3?" Evelyn asked.
"Goldfish" everyone but Jane said.
"I hate being 8" she grumbled.
-With Team Dusk-
Third Person POV
"FIRE!" Rory yelled. Vampires started to try and bite people. Erica shot a vamp in the eye. Two vampires was about to hit Erica, when Rory jumped in the air, kicking both vamps. Erica pushed them to the ground as Rory pointed two holy water guns to their heads. "Adios!" He smiled as they vanish into ashes. Erica looked impressed. "Not bad dork." Gord suddenly came out.
"Well, well. If it isn't the blonde squad. Whatcha gonna do Ditz 1 and Ditz 2 eh? Jump on me then attempt to hit me?" The vamps behind him laughed as Rory growled. Erica pulled out a match.
"Fire doesn't scare us. Y'know for a vampire, you sure do act like a blonde." Erica growled. She passed the match to Rory and then he threw it in the air. The match hit the sprinklers, activating them. Holy water squirted down, killing every vampire, even Gord. Erica and Rory super sped out, but not before Erica dropped a note on Gord's ashes.
Ditz 3: Doesn't know when to run
-With Team Too Cool For You-
Third Person POV-
"Rory, Erica, you're here!" Sarah exclaimed. Rory took a glance at Ethan. "What's his deal?"
Ethan slouched against the snack counter, giggling like an idiot. He had a dreamy look on etched to his face.
"L-L-Let's Gooo..." He slurred as Sarah held him for support. Erica glanced at Sarah.
"What drugs is he on and where can I get them?" Sarah rolled her eyes.
"If you want his drugs, the kiss Rory." Sarah smirked.
Rory and Erica exchange looks. "Y'know, maybe I don't want his drugs..." Erica trailed off. Rory rolled his eyes and passionately kissed her. Erica looked stunned, but eventually kissed back. They stop as Erica stumbled a little, giggling. Sarah rolled her eyes.
Great, now 2 people are love drugged.
-With Team Awesome-
"A jack?" Mr. Morgan grinned. Silence passed.
"Goldfish" They all said. He groaned.
"Damn it" he grumbled as he got yet another card for his deck.
-Team Hey-
Benny and Sky arrived at the big tree in Ethan's backyard.
"Hey." Sky whispered.
"Hey" Benny whispered back. "Let's do this"
"Funny, how they name streets after what they tore down. This use to be an orchard. One of my favourite spots until it got burned down by Morgan's idiot ancestors." Jesse walked in past the shadows he hid in.
"I say the only mistake was not finishing the job" Sky grumbled. Jesse sneered.
"You made me miss my target. The rest of my followers are going to have to wait, that's fine. I still have enough dusker souls to resurrect a few of the powerful vampires that ever lived, and you'll have the honor of being their first midnight snack." Sky and Benny gulped. Benny had shivers down his spine as Jesse glared at him.
"We do still have some unfinished business to attend." He snapped his fingers and a hazy emerald green mist came out of the Cubile Animus and floated around Benny. Benny turned around, a look of fear written on his face.
"Look David, it's a boy!"
"I know Lily, he's a healthy baby."
Voices could be heard around Benny. His hands grasped around his head. Sky had a face mixed with worry and confusion. "Benny?!"
"Can we name him Benjamin?"
"Sure, but he needs a nickname."
"How about Benny?"
"Benny it is."
"I forgot to mention that the Spellmaster's memories thing was just a distraction. The Cubile Animus needs something more powerful than some memories. It needs a spellmaster's soul." Sky's eyes widen as they fall back to Benny, who was looking like a seizure.
"Hey dude, sorry about those people. They're jerks."
"Y-Yeah, I guess."
"I'll be your friend. I'm Ethan."
"Benny."
"I'm using the memories to come at that dork so fast that he can't handle it. His body will just end up shutting down, and there's the spellmaster's soul!"
"Shut down, y-you mean?" Sky watched Benny scream in agony.
"I'll be your friend."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah, let's ditch this place. Ethan got the new cheat to play a 3-player Sky Lords!"
"Benny!" Sky rushed to his side. He swayed to his side. Sky started to cry.
Benny collapsed.
