AN: Yay for updates! I wanted to update at an earlier time since its Sunday and most of us have school tomorrow, and some of you guys are in different time zones so IDK? And I couldn't leave you guys hanging until Friday for the next chapter... That's too cruel. Anyways, enjoy!
I walked over to Benny and Ethan as David Stachowski walked away. I came up just in time to hear Benny say "Our street cred just went through the roof!"
"Why would a guy like him wanna friend up with us?" Ethan asked doubtfully "hey Aria." he greeted.
"Hey." I waved back.
"Ethan, don't look a gift jock in the mouth." Benny said "In fact, don't make eye contact at all!"
I rolled my eyes when Benny nodded to some girl and said "Hey, wanna go out?" as she walked past. "I've got the David Stachowski seal of approval." My brow furrowed in jealousy as I glared daggers at the girl.
I smirked when she said "Drop dead."
"Ah, see! She spoke to me! That never happened pre-headlock!"
"It probably won't happen again." I told him, secretly happy.
"There's something about that guy" Ethan said, looking over at David growling and barking at some student.
"You mean other than the fact that he's huge?" I asked.
"And popular? And awesome?" Benny added, scratching behind his ear. He brought his hand back holding something small and buzzing. "Is that a flea?" he asked, concerned. "Tell me I don't have fleas."
"That's a flea." Ethan confirmed.
"Ewww!" I backed away.
Benny turned to me after squishing the flea under his shoe. "No good morning hug?" he asked with a smile, opening his arms.
"Not after the flea. And" I leaned forward and sniffed him "You smell like someone's armpit. Laters." I wiggled my fingers in goodbye, walking towards the school.
"Hey wait! Do I get a hug later?" Benny called, chasing after me.
I walked into the student lounge with Benny giggling over something he said. "Ooh, look, candy bars!" I pointed at the floor.
"Sweet!" he exclaimed, bending down and grabbing four. He gave me one and kept the other three.
"Thanks." I laughed sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"No problem, baby."
We joined Ethan and Sarah over by some armchairs.
"Who's got two thumbs, three candy bars, and is best buds with David Stachowski?" he asked, plopping down on an armchair.
I perched myself sideways on his lap, letting my legs dangle off the arm of the chair and added "And has a pretty girl on his lap?"
Benny's smile widened even more and he finished enthusiastically "That's right, this guy!" he pointed at himself with his thumbs.
"I uh, see what you mean." Sarah pointed at Benny, agreeing with whatever Ethan just said.
"It gets worse." Ethan said dejectedly. "It's like he's inserted himself in my life."
He told us about how David was at his house.
"So he eats all your food. No need to break up a good bromance." Sarah pinched his cheek teasingly.
"There's more." Ethan said. "The guy howls."
Behind us, we heard David cheer "Woo free candy bar!" and howl.
I laughed and Benny said. "A lot of dudes howl, it's a jock animal thing!"
"I can't be the only one who noticed how hairy he is." Ethan said.
"He is pretty hairy." I agreed through a mouthful of Snickers. Ethan told us what happened in the locker room. I shuddered at that. Hairy guys are kinda, um, ew.
"So he's really hairy. A lot of guts are hairy! It's a... hairy guy thing!" Benny explained.
"I hope you aren't hairy." I looked him up and down.
He smirked. "No hair on me, gorgeous."
"Creepy flirting aside, its basic math!" Ethan explained. "Howling plus hair plus this town, equals-"
"Awesome." Benny cut in.
"Werewolf." Ethan finished like it was obvious.
"Werewolf..." Benny repeated, looking lost.
"Ethan, not everything is supernatural." Sarah told him.
"You're obsessed." I added, shrugging sympathetically.
"Yeah! Dude just started hanging out with us 'cause he realized how cool we are. Watch." Benny said, moving me off his lap and getting up, following two girls to the vending machine. "Ladies." he started. We watched and laughed as Benny came back with a cheese puff up his nose and crumbs on his hair.
He sat down and I got back in his lap.
"Dudes a werewolf." he agreed dejectedly.
I brushed the remaining crumbs out of his hair, giggling. "Poor baby."
"Ok, so we prove that David's a werewolf, then we figure out what he wants." Ethan said.
"I've got better things to do than stalk back shavers." Sarah said, getting up to leave. "You wanna join me Aria?"
I shook my head. "Nah, I wanna see how this turns out. And I'm pretty comfy right here." I said the last part to Benny, looking him in the eyes deviously.
Sarah shrugged.
"What do you have that's so important?" Benny called after her.
She turned "Soccer tryouts!"
"I think she was serious." Ethan said, staring after her.
"Oh, we'll in that case I'm sure it'll be fine!" he said, semi-sarcastic.
Ethan left and it was just me and Benny. I wrapped my arms around his neck and asked "so what's this about how smooth you are?" I ran my hand down his chest.
He smirked at me and stared me straight in the eye, now that we were eye-level.
Suddenly I didn't feel so sexy or powerful anymore, I felt innocent. I looked down at his lips and back up to his eyes. His smirk faded away as he did the same. We slowly leaned closer, my eyelids fluttered closed and I could feel the heat radiating off his face as we came close, felt his breath on my face-
Then the bell rang and we sprang apart, and I fell to the floor in an undignified heap.
"Holy crap!" I cried out, hitting the floor.
"Oh god, are you okay?" Benny asked, helping me up.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine..." I said, pulling on his arm to stand up.
When I was upright I noticed we were only inches apart. I looked up at him, but embarrassment made me step away, looking down at the ground.
"Thanks for helping me up." I mumbled "We should probably go to class."
"Yeah..." he agreed "Later."
We went our separate ways.
I got a text from Benny a few minutes ago asking me to come over to help with something about David and a curse remover. I walked to the door just in time to catch Sarah leaving.
"Hey Sarah!" I waved but she walked past without noticing me "...Bye Sarah." I shrugged, and walked inside.
"Aria dear. How are you?" Benny's grandma greeted with a smile.
"Hiya, Mrs. Weir. I'm doing well, how are you?"
"Oh, fine, fine. Are you here for Benny?"
"Yeah, he texted me a few minutes ago asking me to-" Thundering down the steps cut me off and Benny appeared.
"Aria, you're here. Let's go to Ethan's." he said, grabbing my arm and rushing me out the door.
"Bye Mrs. Weir!" I yelled out the door.
"Why are we going to Ethan's?" I asked as Benny practically dragged me to the house next door.
"I may have turned him into a werewolf..."
"You did WHAT?!" I screeched, just as we arrived at the Morgan's house.
The door was held open by Jane and we walked in. Benny asked "Where's Ethan - Hey! Ethan's having a party and didn't invite me?!" he pointed up at the ceiling and proclaimed "You dog!" and ran to the stairs.
"Hey Jane." I said to the youngest Morgan.
"Hey Aria. What's he mean by dog?"
"Dunno." I shrugged, half-lying "I'll go find out."
I walked up the stairs and found Ethan's room. I walked in to see Ethan tied to his bed with sheets and Benny with his spell book out. "This can't be good…" I observed.
"Hey Aria, come help me with this!" Benny said, motioning me over, book in hand.
"Corvus Trigun!" We read from the book, waving our hands over Ethan's body when a purple light shone from our palms. Benny breathed out a sigh of relief and shut the book.
Ethan lay in his bed panting, and craned his neck to look over his body. "I'm still hairy!" he cried.
"Okay dude, chill, you're cured. Trust me, the hair will fall out." Benny soothed. He bent down to untie the sheets around Ethan's limbs. I joined him on the other side of the bed. "Now c'mon, we gotta go down to the party and find the real werewolf." Benny said.
"What? Who's having a party?" Ethan asked.
"You are man, come on."
"What did I just help with?" I asked, following the boys out of the room.
"Don't hurt me, I just wanna make you famous! And me rich!" Benny tried to reason with the wolf advancing on him.
"Benny, get away from it!" I cried from by the stairs.
"Use him like a chew toy." Erica purred from behind the wolf.
"I thought we were friends?!" Benny accused, afraid. He took a swipe at the wolf when Sarah showed up, vamped out and hissing at the wolf.
Benny escaped and ran over to me where I clung to his hand for dear life.
"Hey what's happening?" Rory's voice came from the stairs, and the wolf turned and growled at him. Rory screamed like a girl and hid behind Benny.
Sarah took her opportunity with the wolfs back to her and jumped on it. "Bad dog!" she cried, shoving a glowing blue vial into the wolfs mouth and emptying the contents into its mouth.
The wolf fell onto its back and Erica ran to it. "No! What did you to him?!"
"I cured him?" Sarah answered unsurely.
"How would you like it if I went around curing all your boyfriends?!" Erica yelled, before looking down at the body beneath her.
It was Ethan. A naked Ethan.
"Oh dear god." I covered my eyes.
"Ethan?! Really?! Ewww!" Erica cried. I heard her get up and Benny kept bumping into me, so I'm guessing she was wiping her hands on him.
Sarah squeaked "Ew, so not looking!" and I peeked through my fingers to see her throwing a blanket over Ethan's lower body.
"Where's David?" Benny asked, looking around.
I uncovered my eyes completely and nodded my agreement. We all looked over to a cute, huge, fluffy, and bear-like dog.
"That's David?" Erica and I voiced at the same time, her voice unbelieving and mine high pitched and cooing. "Ugh, that is so lame." Erica finished.
Benny took out his video camera and pointed it at the dog - I mean David. "Great, just what the Internet needs" he sighed "A cute animal video." I squealed and ran over to the fluffy boy-dog-werewolf and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Oh my gosh, you are too cute! So much cuter than you are as a human! Stay this way forever and you can come home with me!" I cooed, kissing the top of the dog's –David's– head.
I walked with Benny and David who were wearing matching Letterman jackets. We turned the corner and saw Ethan and Sarah, and Benny called out "Get a load of us!"
"Speak of the devil." Sarah gestured towards the two boys.
"He's teaching me everything he knows about getting chicks." Benny nodded at David.
Sarah gave me a look, and I gave a small shake of my head. I'd talk to her later.
"It's true, not every guy can pick up a girl as beautiful as you two." David looked at Sarah and I, his gaze lingering on Sarah.
"Yeah?" she smiled at him.
"You were ready to give up the cure for me." he stepped closer and took her hand.
Sarah laughed and grabbed a ball from her locker. Throwing it, she called "Fetch!"
David chased after it, and Sarah said "Sorry, I'm just not a dog person." We all laughed.
"We're gonna head off. Benny's got a cool new game we wanna play." they left, geeking over their game.
"When are you going to tell Benny you like him?" she asked when they were gone for sure.
"You know my rules! I don't make the first move..." it was true. I may flirt, a lot, but I'm old-fashioned when it came to the real deal.
"But you know that Benny is too dumb to actually admit that he likes you too!"
"I know... Wait, you think he likes me?"
"It's pretty obvious!" Sarah rolled her eyes "Why do you like him anyways?"
"I don't know..." I shrugged "I guess I've always had a fantasy of having a nerdy boyfriend. I could geek out to my favorite movies with him! And, as a bonus, he's cute!" I smiled.
"Whatever." Sarah laughed and linked her arm through mine. "Let's go home."
So this was a shorter chapter... But I hope you guys liked the flirting between Benny and Aria! Can I say couple names, anyone? ;D Oh yes... I can't wait to update with the next chapter! You guys are gonna LOVE IT!
Alright, so, I need your help, guys. I'm planning a side-story to go in between this story and the sequel (season two of the show) and I'm wondering what I should do with it? I've got chapter 1 almost completed, but I want your help with plot ideas.
Here's what I've got:
The gang and their school are going on a cruise for spring break! Romance is in the air for everyone's favorite couple, Benny and Aria, not to mention the hormones! Swimsuits, sun, safety from monsters... Possibly? That's up to you guys to decide.
So my question is, What should happen on the fun cruise? Should there be a random, dangerous supernatural attack, or just a fun, romantic, dramatic(?) time? You tell me, I'd love to hear your ideas! So, PM me with your ideas or leave it in a review!
