Dare knocked on the door. I could tell it was her. Cause I'm just scary like that!

Ooooooooooohhhhh...

It was just a normal school day; Dare coming over after school, the rest of us guys and her do homework together, I flirt with her, she smacks me upside the head.

It hurts, really!

I opened the door.

"Hey," I said, "You're not wearing the uniform."

"Wanna know why?" she asked, "But first, do all of you have your rabies shots already?"

"Why?" A.E.D asked from behind me.

"Cause this thing grabbed onto my hood and won't let go."

She turned around and hanging on her hood was this... GIANT... THING...

Marcus screamed and hid behind the couch.

Ren and Zeke back away, Zeke tripping and falling backwards onto the floor.

.D opened his jaws, almost in a scream, but said nothing.

I was like 'WTF WHUT IS DAT!' and back away.

"WHUT THE FUCK IS THAT?" .D shrieked.

Dare turned around to face us. "Spectacled flying-fox," she answered, smiling.

"What the hell is that thing doing on your shirt!" I yelled.

"Poor pup has a soar wing, she tore it on accident!"

"That thing's name is Blaze?"

"I don't name them," she snapped, "They come with their own names!"

"Umm, wait whut?" Wei Ren said from next to Marcus (behind the couch).

"Oh boys, this is Blaze; say hi, Blaze!"

"Oi! We know about the bat!" Zeke screamed like a girl, "But what do you mean 'they come with their own names'!"

Dare stopped for a minute. "I can communicate telepathically with animals," she said.

Well, it's true. She is NightTiger.

"That thing isn't native to California!" .D said.

"Well I know that! She came from a zoo!" She let Blaze switch from her hood to her arm and cuddled her. "You gotta admit she's so cute!"

Blaze purred.

"Get the bat out of my room!" A.E.D got up from the floor.

"I can't leave her outside; her wing's torn."

"GET. IT. OUT."

Dare made Bambi eyes at .D.

I wouldn't have resisted them.

But what about .D?

"Deeeeeeeeeeee? Please?" she whispered, pretending to be desperate as hell, "It's only until her wing has healed, which would only be two days! Please? I love animals."

He grumbled something under his breath. "OK fine," he gave up.

"Eek! Thank you!" Squee. "Blaze," she turned to the giant bat hanging upside down on her arm, "Go hang on the lamp over there; I have to do my homework."

The flying fox instantly obeyed and flew to the lamp. I could see the large gash and hole in the poor thing's wing.

I've bitten the hand of a cave demon already. I've had enough of bats for the rest of the year.

"So what're we working on first?" Delilah sat on the couch and pulled out her agenda from her bag.

I noticed something on the ground.

"Sweet," I smiled.

I crouched down and put my hand in front of it. It crawled.

"Hey Dare!" I got her attention, "I found a tarantula!"

I held it up to her face. It twitched a leg towards her.

She screamed bloody murder.

In fact I think I'm deaf now.

She was so spooked, she morphed into a tabby cat and hid behind the couch, between Ren and Marcus.

Dare just shapeshifted. In front of everyone.

"Meow?" I tried to let her know that she's a cat now.

"Whut just happened!" Zeke demanded, throwing his arms in the air in disbelief.

"Delilah's NightTiger," A.E.D said heartlessly.

"Well, you could've-" I tried to argue with him.

"Yes, tis true!" Dare admitted sarcastically, "I am the famous NightTiger. Shoot me!" She morphed back into human form. "I do look like her? Don't I?"

"Yes, very pretty," Ren stated.

"If the bat's going to stay, then at least get rid of the spider!" Marcus pleaded.

"Oh c'mon!" I teased Dare and Marcus, "Have some spider love!"

"FUCK YOU IZM!" Dare shouted. She hopped onto .D's neck and hissed at me.

"I thought you said you communicate with animals," I said.

"I do, but it's REALLY hard when the animal is smaller than my hand when it's fully grown. Don't ask me why." She morphed into a python and wrapped around .D's neck loosely. She rested her flat head on top of .D's.

"Get the fuck off my head." You can guess who said that, eh?

Dare whipped out her tongue. "Get rid of the arachnid or I'm going to eat you."

"But that's cannibalism!" Zeke shouted.

"As a snake, dumbass," Dare retorted in a lower voice. I could hear the automatic hissing coming from her throat. "I'm not entirely human, remember?"

"AH THIS IS SO CONFUSING!" Marcus was almost ready to rip his hair out.

"Sorry kid," Dare apologized.

The tarantula turned and started slowly crawling up inside my sleeve.

"Izm, what did you do with the spider?" .D pondered.

"It's... Up... My sleeve."

The thing came out from my collar and climbed onto my cheek.

I wanted to scream.

"Don't move," Dare ordered, still a python, "It'll climb down in a sec,"

But it didn't.

It made its way to the top of my head, resting itself on my goggles.

"BLAZE!" she called.

Out of nowhere, the bat swooped down and grabbed the spider. She flew back to the lamp and nibbled on it, still alive and trying to fight back.

"I thought flying foxes were fruit bats," Wei Ren muttered.

"They're omnivorous, actually," Dare corrected, "But insects are only snacks to them.

We all stared and watched as Blaze painfully ate the tarantula alive.
