AN: OOOOOHHHH, ZOMBIES! Yep, it's that episode! Finally, I'm back on track to my longer-ish chapters! I hope you enjoy!

7:45 p.m.

"Man, why couldn't we be at home, watching so you think you can fly, eating a triple meat lovers pizza... With extra meat!" Benny whined in a breathy, quiet voice.

"Yeah, instead our teachers could bash in here any second and scoop out our brains like chip dip!" Ethan replied in the same tone.

A door slammed and I squeaked, clinging to Benny's arm as if my life depended on it. "Guys, not cool, let's not talk about it, ok? I'd rather just get it over with instead of thinking about my brains being taken out!"

"Think we can out run them?" Benny offered.

"I don't have to outrun them; I just have to out run you!" Ethan shot back.

"You know, I think they'd go for your brain first there, honor roll." Benny snarled.

"I know we're all scared and stuff, but let's not take it out on each other, kay?" I hissed.

Something slammed against the door, and we all looked up. A few brain-dead teachers were in the window, trying to get in.

"Where's Sarah, we could really use her help right now!" Ethan whined.

"I don't think she was in a very 'helping' mood today." Benny said sarcastically.

"You guys were asking stupid things!" I defended Sarah.

"Hey! Whose side are you on?"

9 1/2 hours earlier. 9:15 a.m.

"I'm not breaking any arms or smashing anyone's legs just because he called you... What was it again?" Sarah asked.

"Teethan." Ethan said dejectedly.

"Benny Rabbit." Benny said in a matching tone.

"Hey, I call you Benny Rabbit! You could have told me you didn't like it..." I huffed, crossing my arms.

"No no, when you say it, it's cute." My boyfriend assured me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. He looked back at Sarah. "It's not what he says; it's how he says it."

"Ahem." a gruff voice in front of us cleared his throat to get our attention. It was our first period teacher "Let's go boys, and girl." he corrected himself when he noticed I was standing there with them.

Benny answered him "Right with you, sir! If we're not there in five minutes..."

"Start boring kids without us!" I finished, and Benny and I snickered together.

"We'll be right there sir." Ethan said to the teacher, covering up for us.

"Forget it!" Sarah said, back to our conversation "I have a field trip to the art gallery, lucky me!" she waved at Ethan and Benny, trying not to laugh "By Teethan, Benny-Rabbit"

I giggled and unwrapped Benny's arm from my shoulders, intertwining our fingers.

"It sounds cute when she says it." Ethan smiled.

"You're a love-struck fool." I teased Ethan.

"Look who's talking!" Ethan retaliated as I leaned to kiss Benny.

"Hey, he's my boyfriend. I have the right to be love-struck." I stuck my tongue out in a childish manner.

9 1/2 hours later. 7:48 p.m.

We were still crouched behind a lab table, with zombie teachers still trying to busy into the classroom. With every slam, we all started to freak out more. "We're so gonna die!" Benny cried. Ethan whimpered in response and I was practically in Benny's lap, hiding my face in his chest. "This is so not fair! How come we didn't get any sign that this was going to happen?" Benny continued.

"Just a hint would have been nice!" Ethan agreed.

"Really?! You couldn't tell that something weird was going on? I mean, come on!" I squeaked.

9:16 a.m.

Benny, Ethan and I walked into science class. We went to our science tables, Benny and Ethan sitting at the one in front of mine. The teacher was writing out elements on the chalkboard. "Bromide." he said, writing a Br "Aluminum" He wrote an Al "Nitrogen." He wrote out an N "Brain..." confused, I looked at the board. Brain wasn't a part of the periodic table? But looking out the chalkboard, that's what the elements spelled out. A little weird, anyone?

"Brain." The teacher said again, underlining the word.

I looked at Ethan and Benny. They were looking through their bags, setting up for class. If they weren't worried, I guess I shouldn't be either.

7:53 p.m.

The teachers broke the window on the door and were trying to reach in. Ever the hero, Ethan grabbed the fire extinguisher and tried smacking away their hands with the butt of it. "Spray them with it!" I yelled.

He grabbed the nozzle and squeezed the trigger, blasting cold fire-extinguishing stuff at the zombies. The zombies shied away from the cold, getting away from the window.

"They hate this stuff! Ethan cried triumphantly "If it lasts long enough, we should be able to hold then off till Sarah gets back."

"Let's hope it does." I said to Benny, who nodded in reply. Ethan sprayed at the door again.

"Sarah is coming back, right?" Benny asked.

"We're the most important things in her life, right?" Ethan's voice was high pitched and unsure.

10:35 a.m.

I moved up to sit with Ethan and Benny. Our teacher seemed to be preoccupied with writing "Brain" on the board instead of paying attention to his class. Right now Benny and I sat together, holding hands and talking. Ethan was on the phone with Sarah.

"I feel... Hot. I need to... Excuse me." the teacher said in a slow, monotone voice, and walked out of the class room.

We watched him for a moment before going back to our business. "I think what he meant was, uh, text freely amongst yourselves!" Benny announced to the class, who happily got out their phones.

I laughed and held his hand tighter. "Hey Benny," I said, a thought popping in my head "We've been going out for a while now, how come we haven't been on a date?"

He made some sort of choking noise and looked at me nervously "D-date?" he asked.

"Yeah. You know, something that a boyfriend and girlfriend would do?" I reminded him. "I mean, all we ever do is fight crime and make out, not that I don't mind, that is." I added with a smile.

"Me either." he smiled, looking dreamily into the distance.

"Benny!" I snapped my fingers in his face to bring him back to reality "So, date?" I asked.

"uh, sure." he said.

8:02 p.m.

Ethan was still spraying the zombies away and Benny got up, grabbed a stool and went for the zombies.

"This thing isn't gonna last much longer. Maybe we should call Rory?" Ethan said.

"Rory?! Is it that bad?" Benny asked.

"Well he did say he wanted to protect the innocent." I said.

11:23 a.m.

We walked out of class and watched the teachers. They were so sluggish they looked like zombies. It was kind of creepy.

A teacher trudged by, moaning. "There goes the French teacher." Ethan said.

"Mrs. Lafleur." I mimicked her accent, brandishing my hands in a dramatic fashion.

"She's not looking to good either." Ethan finished.

"Yeah, well, she's also a teacher so who laheck cares." Benny laughed at his own joke.

"Falling a little short there, sweetie." I patted his arm.

Rory jumped in front of us out of nowhere and put his fists on his hips.

"Greetings, mortals!" he said.

"Hey Rory!" I waved with my free hand and smiled. He waved back before shaking his head and becoming serious once more.

"You look stranger than usual." Ethan remarked.

"Very perceptive, mortal. Of course, you are one of the few who know my true secret identity." Rory leaned closer, and then ripped open his shirt. Underneath was a red shirt with the blue letters RV in a superman diamond. "RV! Rory Vampire, Defender of the innocent!" He declared. I could just feel the looks Benny and Ethan were giving him. He turned his head suddenly, a hand cupped around his ear "Hark! A cry for help! Someone is in need of... Brains. RV, away!" he said and dashed off.

"You mean, someone else is in need of brains?" Benny joked "You know, maybe he's finally gonna meet his soul mate after all." Ethan laughed at the joke.

I laughed too, but still defended my friend "He's a sweetie though."

2:35 p.m.

The whole school was going crazy! The teachers were attacking us as if they were actual zombies! The students ran screaming in the halls. I ran until I found Benny, and Ethan was with him. We turned into the office while the other students were trying to get outside, so we were alone. "We need to warn everyone." Ethan said.

"What?" Benny asked desperately.

"I'm pretty sure everyone knows by now!" I told him.

"Yeah, didn't you hear me screaming? I think we've done our part." Benny added.

Ethan got up quickly and grabbed the PA microphone and handed it to Benny "Here, wait for my cue."

Benny looked panicked, staring at the microphone. "Ah, you're on." Ethan said.

"Testing, check, 1, 2.."

"Benny!" Ethan and I hissed.

"Attention all whitechapel students, this is a life saving announcement, from Benny Weir, most of you girls, you know who I am" He smirked.

"They better not." I hissed at him.

"Um, Due to unforeseen circumstances, Uhhh, beyond our control, we have no choice but to cancel all classes, extracurricular activities, and -"

Ethan grabbed the microphone out of Benny's hands and yelled into it "Zombies! RUN!"

He set it down on the counter when a hand grabbed his. It was one of the gym coaches. We tried pulling him away but he was having one of his visions, and this lady was not letting go.

"Ethan, come on, snap out of it!" Benny cried to his friend, both of us tugging on his arm.

Ethan broke out of his vision but the teacher was trying to bite at his arm now. Benny wrenched the microphone out of Ethan's hand and hit the teacher over the head with it. She fell back against the floor and stayed down.

"You did it!" I cried, wrapping my arms around Benny's neck and kissing him.

Ethan was still looking horrified at the zombie teacher "Let's go." he said, and we ran away.

We ran to the science class, but the door was locked. We crouched down in the doorway, keeping watch for any more zombies.

"Guys, I just had a vision. It's coffee from Lotta Latte, that's what's making this happen." Ethan filled us in.

"Lotta Latte? Figures." Benny scoffed "You'd have to be brain dead to pay five bucks for a cup of flavored bean juice."

"I'm so never going there again." I said.

"But it doesn't make any sense. This coffee has been around for a long time, why is it all of a sudden turning people into zombies? What changed?" Ethan asked.

I shrugged. "No idea."

7:52 p.m.

We escaped out of the science classroom when the coast was clear. Benny pulled us into the boys' bathroom. "What are we doing in here?" I asked.

"We're safe in here, trust me. A teacher would never enter a student washroom; it's like an unwritten rule of education." Benny explained with a smile on his face.

"Sure! Right up there with 'don't eat students brains'!" Ethan said sarcastically. There was pounding on the door and we rushed over to help Ethan keep it shut.

"You know whose fault this really is? Sarah's. 'Why don't you fight your own battles?'" Benny imitated her voice.

There was more pounding on the door and we pushed against it harder. But whatever was behind that door was way too strong, because it opened anyways. It was Sarah!

"Did I miss anything?" she asked.

"Sarah!" I squealed, so happy to see my vampire friend I pounced on her in a hug.

"We were just talking about you!" Benny said nervously "Hooray, we're saved!"

"We were worried about you." Ethan said truthfully.

I squeezed the girl tighter. "I'm so happy you're alive!"

"I had a vision about what's turning the people into zombies. It's coffee." Ethan told her.

"I know." She said. I let go of her and stared.

"You know?" I asked.

She nodded "Lotta Latte. I had a chat with some of the folks down there earlier."

"Do I wanna know?" I asked, kid of to myself.

"I tried to call you to warm you, but you didn't pick up." Ethan said.

"Yeah, sorry about that, I kinda lent my phone to Mr. Collingwood." She said. I don't wanna think about what that meant.

Then we realized there was no noise outside. Benny rushed to the door and opened it a crack. He looked outside. There was a bunch of bodies on the floor.

"Alright, can we go now?" Bent asked "I mean, after I wash my hands of course." he pointed to the poster that read "Remember to wash your hands"

"There's nowhere to go!" Sarah cried "The streets are crawling with zombies, and the longer we wait, the worse this thing gets! Don't you have like, some geek know-how on fighting zombies?"

"Well, in every zombie movie it's always the same: smash them in the head." Ethan shrugged.

"Except in SuperDead 4, they cured the zombies with Anti-Zombulax." Benny said.

"You're right!" I smiled.

"If we can get a sample of the coffee, maybe we can analyze it and find a cure, or, a weakness." Ethan said.

"I guess we're headed to the lab. Let's go." Sarah said, turning to leave.

"Wait." Ethan said "I think we're going to need my ectoplasm refractor from home."

"Ooh, I love that ectoplasm refractor!" Benny smiled.

"Listen, you guys get the sample, and I'll race to your house to get your ecto-thing, and we meet in the lab in ten minutes, ok?"

"Ok, um, my refractor is in my room, on my microscope, ok?" Ethan told Sarah.

She nodded and left. Ethan watched her leave. "Ok, she's leading them away, good. There should still be some coffee in the teachers' lounge but first, we gotta make a pit stop."

"Pit stop? We're already here" Benny motioned to the toilets.

"Not while I'm here!" I said, disgusted.

"Not that kind of pit stop!" Ethan said.

We ran back from the bio lab, Benny carrying a pig brain. "Whew, who knew the bio lab had such huge pig brains?" he laughed when we stopped outside the teachers' lounge.

"I guess I did." Ethan shrugged.

We quietly snuck into the teachers' lounge. Bent over in the doorway, we looked around the room. "Ok, follow me." Ethan whispered.

We walked quickly but quietly, and Ethan and Benny dove under the fooseball Table. "Where am I supposed to hide?!" I hissed. There was only enough room for the two of them under there.

"I don't know, you're smart, think of something!" Benny whispered back. I looked around the room in a panic, and stayed low. In the end I just hid under the table with the coffee on it before one of the zombie teachers walked past.

"Ok, so, we throw the pig brain, grab the coffee, and then we're home free." Ethan whispered.

"I don't think I understand the meaning of home free." Benny whispered back. Then his phone started to ring.

"Turn that thing off!" Ethan hissed, as Benny fumbled for his phone.

Instead of silencing it, he answered it.

"Hello? I can't talk right - What? Really? That's amazing..." he said into the phone.

"Benny!" I hissed.

"What? Five hundred minutes, unlimited text. That's good, right?" he asked me.

"Yeah kind of but this is so not the time!"

"Hang up!" Ethan whisper-yelled.

Benny put his phone away.

"Ok, pig brain is a go!" Ethan said, and slid the pig brain across the floor. The zombie teachers went for it! "Alright, Alright, I'm going for it." Ethan got out from under the foosball table and over to my table. "Why didn't I just get it? I'm under the table." I mumbled. Benny and I slid out from under our tables when Ethan got the coffee. He started for the exit when a zombie teacher came out of nowhere and scared him, and he dropped the coffee to fend her off. "I dropped the sample." He called.

"I got it!" I called back, at the table anyways. "Benny, go help Ethan!"

"I can't leave you here!" he said.

"Go!" I demanded.

He left with Ethan, and I turned to the zombies that started to surround me. "Alright, bitches." I said, lifting up one of the coffee machines "Show me what you got." I swung the coffee maker into one of the teacher's head, kicked back the principal, grabbed the other coffee thing and bolted. On my way out, something stabbed into my arm. I muffled my cry and kept going. It probably wasn't anything anyways.

I made it out and shut the door. I walked down the halls. My footsteps echoed in the empty silence and I turned a corner, nearly bumping into Ethan and Benny. "Holy shit!" I jumped about a foot in the air, almost dropping the coffee.

"Are you ok?!" Benny rushed to me, hugging me close then pulling away to scan over my body for injuries.

"I'm fine Benny." I laughed, pushing my boyfriend away "And I got the sample, safe and sound."

"Cool!" Came a muffled voice. I shrieked and the boys yelled and we all turned to see a zombie standing there. "Is that hot chocolate?" the thing pulled off its face - a mask - and revealed Rory. "Gotcha! Check out what I snagged from the teachers' lounge! Hicks took this from me in September."

"Jeez, Rory, you nearly scared the blood out of me." I told him, clutching a hand to my racing heart. It was a little joke we had.

"Wait, you were in the teachers' lounge?" Ethan asked.

"Candy, games, tv, couches!" Rory listed off excitedly.

"Zombies?" Benny added.

"Really? I thought they were all just really grumpy." Rory said.

"Whatever" Ethan sighed, shaking his head "We gotta get this coffee to the chemistry lab."

"Chemistry? Boring... I'd rather smack me some zombies." Rory said, smacking his mask into his hand for emphasis. He put the mask on and said "RV, away." and vampire-sped off.

"We better re-arm." Ethan said, going around the corner.

I looked down at my stinging arm. "Yeah, re-arm."

Up in the Chem lab, Ethan and Benny were working on the cure, and Sarah had just arrived with Ethan's Ectoplasm refractor. I was not feeling well. I was sweating, feeling way hot and tired.

"You ok Aria? You look really sweaty." Sarah asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Fighting off zombies is a real workout." I fake laughed.

"There's definitely something going on here." Ethan remarked from the microscope "These cells are like neurons, like brain cells, but their mutating."

"Kay, mutant neurons, cool!" Benny smiled.

Zombies came at the door. "Company! Speed up the geeking!" Sarah yelled, rushing to the door with the fire extinguisher and blasting the zombies with it.

"Rush science?" Ethan asked in bewilderment.

"You can't feel when your brains being eaten!" Sarah called back.

I groaned, grabbing at my stomach, my insides turning at the thought of brains.

"What happened? The neurons are gone. It just looks like regular coffee now. It's like it cured itself just by sitting there." Ethan said.

"Maybe it has to be fresh?" Sarah asked, blasting at the door again.

"Hot!" Ethan relaized "That's why the zombies hate the fire extinguisher, its cold!"

"Great, so we just wait here until January?" Benny asked.

"Why don't we just blast the air conditioner?" Sarah yelled.

"Sounds like plan! Benny, Aria, pack up. We're gonna fight our way to the mechanical room." Ethan said.

"Who are you kidding?" Sarah cried "They'll break you like a fingernail. I'll do it."

"Oh, if you want to go." Ethan laughed hesitantly, obviously wanting her to go instead of him. She'd have a better chance at surviving.

"Totally! The next zombies race is on us!" Benny added.

"Yeah." I said, losing most of my energy. Zombie, brain "Brain..." I mumbled.

"Are you ok?" Benny asked when I slumped in my seat.

"You look really pale and sweaty." Ethan noticed.

"You didn't get bit back there did you?!" Benny asked with hysteria in his voice.

"'Course not... I got bit here." I pulled up my sleeve to show the bite mark on my bicep.

"Crap, Aria, why didn't you tell us?" Benny asked.

"I thought you might... Get cure..." I felt light headed "Fix Aria... You look yummy." I told Benny.

I put my head down on the table. "Hey, don't leave me, alright? Stay with me, right here." Benny whispered by my ear "You gotta stay not-zombie, so we can go on that date you want, right? Please don't leave me, Aria."

Sarah, Ethan, Benny and I stood outside Lotta Latte watching some girl and a dude get interviewed for "saving Whitechapel." Benny and I held hands, and I couldn't have been happier just being with him.

"I can't believe I liked that guy." Sarah said, eyeing the dude.

"This stinks. We saved the day!" Benny said.

"Yeah!" I agreed.

"Hey, you almost bit our faces off!" Ethan said.

"Well, I meant before that. And I said I was sorry!" I whined playfully.

"I'm sorry Aria, but we unsung heroes have to take the high road. Right Sarah?" Ethan turned to our vampire friend, but she wasn't there.

Across the street, the couple being interviewed 'mysteriously' dropped their coffees.

"Yeah, the higher road." Sarah nodded, appearing next to Ethan.

"So, that was kind of an interesting date, huh?" I asked, smiling up at Benny.

"That wasn't a date." He shook his head "I'll take you out on a way better date soon, I promise." I beamed at my impossibly awesome boyfriend.

AN: YAY! Another chapter finished! Okay, so I'm working on the Christmas chapter, but I've got a question: Do you guys want me to post it on Christmas, or Christmas Eve, or what? Let me know!

ALSOOOO, I've decided to write a cute little New Years Eve one-shot for my Kickin' It Jack/OC story. The story itself is kind of nowhere near finished, but I just felt like getting something out there for it. I'm pretty excited for it! I'm gonna post it on New Years Eve. I think I might call it Kickin' Off The New Year. Or something like that. Anybody have any suggestions?

So, now time for my favorite part of the ending AN; SHOUT OUTS!

MeganRoseMaslow: Ah! It's like we're connected at the brain! And not in a totally gross way like zombies! Hahaha, see what I did there? I incorporated the episode theme... I'm hilarious xD Not really. Thanks for your support girl 3

Dusker101: I LOOOOOVE your reviews! They make me smile. EVERY TIME! An iPod touch would be sweeeeett! All I want for Christmas is a really good microphone so I can start recording covers of songs and put them on YouTube and become FAMOUS! That, and some books. And maybe some clothes. ;D Keep on reviewing hun!

MsWildfire97: Thank you! I'm so happy that everyone is so excited for the Christmas chapter! I am so amazed how great this story has turned out! I never expected it to be kind of popular :3 I guess I'm gonna have to go back to stalker school and take a few refresher courses so you will stop seeing me...
YOU CAN'T SEE ME! I AM THE NIGHT!

Trying2fly101: Oh hun, I know. It is next to IMPOSSIBLE to find any Jack/OC! That's why I decided to write one myself. The funny thing is, the original guy in my Kickin' It story was actually Jerry. Then I realized, "Hey. Jack is cute. I wanna write about him. Kick fans can suck it!" Not that I have any disrespect for Kick fans. So I just replaced Jerry's name with Jack's and rewrote some parts, and the story totally progressed! Woot!

I'll see y'all next week!

Love always!
