AN: Omg yay chapter 11! I hope you guys were looking forward to this! It's longer than the past few chapters, so WOOOO!


"Ethan, you're babysitters here!" Jane called. Ethan, Benny and I stood up and went to the door.

"Hey guys." Sarah greeted with a smile.

"Hi." we greeted back.

"Look at you, all dressed up for the senior prom. Nice suit." Sarah said to Ethan's dad when he came down the stairs.

"Check out Miami Vice." Benny said approvingly.

"Stylish." I winked, bumping my hip into Benny's.

Mr. Morgan pointed his fingers at us like a gun "Freeze, Turkey." he said in a deep gravelly voice.

We laughed and held our hands up "Whoa, look out!" Benny laughed.

"Ethan's mom thought it'd be fun if we wear the same thing that we wore to our prom." Mr. Morgan explained.

"I think it's really cools that you two are chaperoning the senior citizens prom." Sarah said.

"OH! Senior prom." Benny said. "I just got that."

I laughed and wrapped my arm around his waist. "You're dumb." I teased. He stuck his tongue out at me.

The door opened and in walked Benny's grandma. "Who's ready to party?" She asked.

"Grandma?" Benny asked awkwardly "You look..."

"Hot." Ethan supplied for him.

"Thank you, sweetie." she said to Ethan. To Benny she said "You look a little surprised, dear. Can't a grandma get her groove on?"

"I have no idea how to answer that." Benny shook his head, disturbed.

Ethan's mom came down the stairs then looking very '80's with her hair teased to the heavens and curled, wearing a blue dress with outrageous sleeves. "Ok, so, what do you think?" she asked excitedly "This is the exact same dress I wore for my senior prom."

"It's a little 1981, don't you think?" Benny's grandma asked.

"Yes, I know. That's the point." Mrs. Morgan said.

"I'm sure it looked great thirty years ago." Ethan told her.

"I bet you could borrow something out of grandma's closet." Benny offered.

"I should go change." Ethan's Mom started up the stairs.

"Oh no. I don't want to miss the vote for prom queen." Benny's grandma said "I'm the 3-to-1 favorite. Let's drop it like it's hot!" then she left out the door, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan following. "Goodnight, have fun guys!" Mr. Morgan said before he closed the door.

"Ok, Jacuzzi Time Machine starts in T-Minus two minutes." Ethan said, checking his watch.

"We'll get the drinks." Benny said, pulling me to the kitchen.

"I'll get the popcorn." Sarah followed us.

"Can I stay up late tonight?" I heard Jane ask Sarah.

"Only if you promise not to tell your parents we're letting you watch Jacuzzi Time Machine." Sarah said.

"Deal." Jane agreed.

"Ah, teenagers. Corrupting little kids since the beginning of time." I giggled as Benny handed me sodas.

"Yeah!" Benny leaned over and kissed me.

"Ew you guys, not while I'm making popcorn!" Sarah said over the delicious sound of popping kernels.

"It could be worse." I sang "We could have been using tongue!"

"EW!" Sarah squeaked, while I cackled on my way to the living room.

Benny plopped down next to Ethan on the couch when Sarah came in with the popcorn. "Hey, that's my spot!" Sarah said with a whine. I looked up from re-arranging the sodas.

"But I always sit next to Ethan on movie night." Benny said.

Sarah gave him a look verging on puppy-eyes. Benny looked over at me and I motioned at Ethan and Sarah with my eyes, raising my eyebrows suggestively.

"Ohhh, you guys want to ehh, canoodle." Benny smirked.

"No, we don't." Sarah denied.

"As if." Ethan said, trying to cover up his obvious crush on the older girl "Canoodling is the last thing I wanna do."

Ooh, wrong thing to say. I shook my head in shame.

"Well, you know, not the last thing in the world." Ethan tried to cover it up. He elbowed Benny who got up off the couch.

"Alright! I'll go sit on the floor." He said, sitting in front of the coffee table. I laid down next to him and put my head in his lap. The movie started, when a muffled "Whooaa!" came from outside and something slammed onto the roof. The TV flashed then went out, reduced to static. We all started freaking out. "No, no, no no no no!" was heard through the living room. Rory, the one that landed on the roof and ruined our movie, started yelling and hit the ground. Must have rolled off the roof. "I've really got to work on my roof landings." his voice was still muffled.

"Rory? Ugh!" Benny said. Ethan sighed loudly. I moaned and turned my head, burying my face into Benny's stomach.


We all sat in the Dining Room, eating pizza dejectedly, while Benny sat in the living room, giving us all a play-by-play of what would be happening in the movie if Rory hadn't crash-landed the satellite dish. "They just whirlpooled into the '80s. The leg warmers are all wet. My favorite part's coming up." he said.

"How do you know, it's all static." Sarah said.

"Because we're 92 minutes in." he said, as if it were obvious.

"He knows this movie by heart." Ethan said in a dead voice.

"That's really pathetic." Sarah said.

"I'm so bored." Rory complained from the kitchen.

"Hey!" Benny yelled "If you hadn't knocked out the satellite dish, we'd all be enjoying Jacuzzi Time Machine right now!"

"You think Grandmas making out with her boyfriend right now?" Jane asked Benny. My mouth dropped open and I sputtered with laughter.

"Jane!" Sarah reprimanded.

"Oh, come on!" Rory groaned from the other room.

"Ew." was all Benny said. I fist-bumped the little girl and got up to go poke Rory's belly.

"Don't you have some cards?" Sarah asked.

"Or maybe some coloring books?" I asked lamely.

"My parents might have some old board games in the basement." Ethan offered.


Downstairs, we all looked through the shelves for games and, really, just random stuff. Benny and I were looking at some board games around the room.

"Ok, we've got Mathalot Village,"

"Too much math."

"Word strike?"

"Requires spelling. Got anything in a nice non-educational flavor?" Benny asked sarcastically.

I opened my mouth to reply when Ethan said "Oh, check this out! Spirit Speaker." and held up a dusty old box. "Host a seance and make contact with the spirit world." he read off the box cover. He blew off the dust which flew into mine and Benny's faces. We coughed and tried to wave the dust away.

"Now we're talking! Let's meet up with some honeys on the other side." Benny cheered. I turned to look at him with my eyebrows raised, and my arms crossed over my chest. He looked down at me and quickly spoke again "I mean, totally for Ethan and Rory, you know, I totally don't need dead girls when I got my own girl right here!" he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close.

"Be lucky you're cute." I grumbled.

"What's a seance?" Rory asked.

"It's like a ritual conducted to make contact with spirits." Ethan explained.

"Dead spirits? Those things give me the creeps!" Sarah exclaimed.

"Says the vampire girl." I joked.

"I thought those things were banned from you stores." Sarah said, rolling her eyes at my comment.

"This one looks seriously old." Ethan said, looking at the box.

"I don't think we should mess with it." Sarah warned, sounding nervous.

"What's the big deal?" Benny asked.

"It's just a board game."

"It's what it represents that scares me!" Sarah cried.

"Come on, just one little game?" Ethan pleaded with her. "Unless you're scared." He challenged.

"I'll hold your hand if you get scared." I teased.

"Yeah, I'm a chicken." Sarah made chicken noises, flapping her as like chicken wings "Bawk Bawk. Jane and I are going to play dress up, try not to make a mess." Sarah walked away, bringing the little girl with her.

Benny stepped forward and grabbed the box. "Man, she has got to loosen up!" he said, looking up the stairs. "Well, what do you say girls, for a little supernatural action?"


A few minutes later we sat around the table with the board all set up, candles lit all around the room, and dish towels wrapped around our heads.

"Are the dish towels really necessary?" Ethan sighed.

"Yeah, I feel like an idiot." I complained.

"Do you want this to work or not?" Benny asked. "Okay, did this at a sleepover once. Everybody, two fingers on their respective corners. Now, all we have to do is just summon a spirit and ask it a question."

"Maybe Sarah was right," Ethan hesitated "I don't think we should mess with this. We don't know who -"

"Or what" I added

"Is out there in the ether." he finished.

"Look," Benny sighed "We're hanging out with vampires, we've taken down zombies, and we pruned a haunted tree last month! What's a little voice from beyond?"

"Point taken." Ethan gave in, "But we're reading the rules first!"

"Fine mom!" Benny said.

Ethan began reading off the rules "Okay. Rule number one; never play alone. Rule number two; always finish your session by saying goodbye and waiting for the spirit to leave the board. Rule number three; do not remove fingers from the board until the spirits have been properly dismissed. Failure to do so can have catastrophic results."

"Well that sounds promising." I scoffed sarcastically.

"Ooh, catastrophic results." Benny laughed, while Rory made haunting "Ooooh." noises.

"Benny, come on, this is serious." Ethan said.

"What? Okay..." Benny whined. I wrapped my hand in his for safety. I may fight the supernatural, but that doesn't make them any less creepy.

"Rule number four;" Ethan continued "Never ask 'is there anyone out there who wants to talk to us', as such an open invitation tends to attract evil entities. Got it?"

"Sweet." Benny smiled.

"Let's do this." I cheered with dwindling enthusiasm.

"Alright, I'll start!" Benny said, and we placed our fingers on the board. "Oh great seance board, are there any... Friendly, gentle, preferably hot spirits-"

"Hot?" Rory said excitedly. I asked the same thing, just in a different tone.

"- Who'd like to hang with us dudes? And Aria." to me he whispered "Hey, they gotta have a chance at someone, right?" I rolled my eyes but gave him a half-smile.

We leaned forward and the circle in the middle started to glow green. A gruesome "yes" floated to the surface. The whole thing was just weird. The boys, on the other hand, we're excited.

"Yes! Sweet. Now what?" Benny asked.

"Ask it a question." I said.

"Right, uh, are you a chick spirit?" He asked. I glared. The circle glowed yes. "Yes, a chick! Right on!"

Benny cleared his throat. In a mysterious voice he asked "Will the world end in 2012 as the Mayans predicted?"

The circle glowed red. "No?" Benny asked desperately. "Darn it. Then we have to study for our final exams." I sighed in relief. I won't die a virgin!

"Is there intelligent life on other planets?" Ethan asked. Psh, nerd.

The circle glowed red. "She doesn't know." Rory scoffed. Does she know what the force is?" He asked excitedly, "Has she transcended the space-time continuum? Has she ever met a Borg?"

The circle glowed green. "Are you all geeks?" Ethan read lamely. "Yeah pretty much." he nodded.

I busted up laughing, then stopped. "Hey!" I whined "I'm not a geek!"

"Are you sure?" Benny read, then laughed. "Oh, she got you!"

"You're a bigger nerd!" I stuck my tongue out childishly.

"But you love me!" he smirked, leaning over and kissing my cheek.

"Ew." said Ethan. I looked over at him with an eyebrow arched, daring him to say something else. "Don't look at me!" he cried "The board said it!" I looked down. The red circle did in fact say ew.

"Oh ha ha." I laughed sarcastically.

"Ooh! I've got one! Will we be cool?" Benny asked.

The circle glowed red. "No." we read together.

I shrugged "You guys are bringing down my coolness."

"Not even in college?" Benny asked.

The circle flashed red.

"Ever?" Ethan asked desperately.

The circle glowed a red "Sorry."

"Okay, this is lame." Benny sighed. "I'm sure you were a hottie when you had legs, but you are officially dismissed, Chiquita. Goodbye!"

The circle glowed blue. "Bye." it read.

"Thank you!" Benny cheered.

We all took our hands off.

"Let's go get a snack." Ethan suggested.

"Good idea." Benny said.

"Yay snacks!" I yelled happily, throwing a fist in the air.

We took off those stupid towels and started to walk away when Rory said "Wait, guys, come back!"

"You're on your own, dude." Benny shrugged.

"Sorry Rory." I leaned over the table to ruffle his hair.

As we walked away, Benny leaned into me and whispered in my ear "How can you stand him?"

"He's like a little kid, or a puppy. He just wants someone to pay attention to him. He's like an adorable little toddler!" I squealed. Right when we walked into the kitchen, the candles went out. Things started shaking and the whole thing was creepy.

"Rory!" we hissed together, and ran back to the dining room. We skidded into the entrance and looked around at the floating objects.

"Rory, what did you do?" Benny asked accusingly.

From upstairs, Sarah's voice yelled "Guys, what are you doing down there?"

"Nothing!" We yelled back in unison.

"Tell me you did not play alone." Benny pleaded.

"Are you nuts?" Ethan asked.

The static on the TV went out, then turned back on.

"I think there's somebody here..." Rory said in a scared, sing-song voice.

The chandelier above us began to sway dangerously back and forth. We gasped as a group.

"Ohhh no no no... Why is it always you guys!" I whined

"Are you the hot-but-brutally-honest ghost babe we recently conversed with?" Benny asked hopefully, his voice high.

The circle glowed red. "No." he read. "Didn't think so."

"Okay, it's getting weird." Ethan whined in a scared voice.

"Uh, guys, I think it's trying to tell us something. But I don't know what. It may be another language." Rory said.

"yeah, like evil speak!" Ethan whined.

"Okay, I know it's not cool for your boyfriend to be freaked out, Aria," Benny said to me "But I am a freaked out dude right now!"

"We're all freaked out, Benny!" I told him, equally scared.

"You played alone." Ethan accused Rory in a high pitch voice "Rory, it's the number one rule. Never play alone!"

"Okay, okay, what do we do?" I asked, trying to grasp control of the situation.

"I don't know, it's going crazy!" Rory cried.

"Okay, let's all just put our hands on the board." Ethan said.

"Right, you first." Benny said quickly.

"Why me?" Ethan asked.

"It was your idea." Benny nodded his head.

"Okay, together. On three." I said before a nerd fight broke out. The boys nodded.

"One... Two... Three!" We all put our fingers quickly on the board, and, instantly, all the floating objects dropped to the floor.

We all sighed. "It worked!" I cheered, careful not to remove my fingers.

"I think it worked." Ethan sighed with relief.

The circle in the middle of the board lit up suddenly, flashing green and blue.

"Or we just really ticked it off." Benny said.

"It's trying to spell something." Ethan noticed "Look."

"Hands off." I read.

"Hands off what? The board?" Benny asked.

The circle glowed green, flashing a yes.

"Yes, yes, yes! It said yes!" Ethan cried.

"What do we do?" Rory asked.

"Take your hands off the board!" Benny yelled.

"Wait, guys, no - !" I cried, as they ripped their fingers from the board, Benny grabbing my wrist and wrenching it away as well.

We stared down in shock and horror as the board began to shake violently, rattling against the table. The circle flashed all different colors.

"That's the number two rule!" I shouted "Do not take your hands off unless the ghost says goodbye, or it can escape the spirit realm!"

"But it told us to let go!" Rory yelled in confusion.

"Of course it did! It's a ghost stuck in the Netherlands, and it wants out!" Benny realized.

"No shit, Sherlock!" I said to my boyfriend.

"I think you mean netherworld!" Ethan yelled, correcting Benny.

"Yeah, that!" Benny cried.

A vortex swirled up out of the circle in the board, and we all yelled and watched it in shock.

Out from the top burst a red smoke thing and then it all vanished.

Panting, Benny asked us "Ghosts in your bodies?"

Feeling myself, I confirmed I was still me. "No ghosts here."

"It's not in mine. I would definitely feel it if it was in mine." Benny said, patting his pants. I started touching him all over. "Why are you touching me? I just said the ghost isn't in my body."

"I just like touching you." I breathed, trying to get a laugh.

"I don't feel any different." Rory said.

"Maybe it never left the board..." Ethan said hopefully. Pointing to the board cover quickly, he said "Grab that!"

We put the cover on quickly. "Okay, no more séances." Ethan panted.

"Ever." I added.

"I've got no problem with tha-" Benny stood up "Whoa."

I stood up, and followed his gaze to the stairs.

"Holy crap." I murmured.

Sarah, at least I think it was Sarah, walked down the stairs. Now, she had wild curly hair, and her top was all torn, and she looked completely different. More evil.

"Hey, Sarah." Benny said uncertainly. To Ethan he said "I don't know what your babysitters done to herself, but I like it."

"Benny!" I hissed, offended, and smacked him in the stomach.

"Does anyone else think that Sarah seems a little different?" Ethan asked.

Then Sarah lifted her hand, and books toppled from the bookshelf. Lifting her other hand, the static on the TV began to swirl eerily. Then, staring at us, she began to move. And not walking, like a weird, floaty, moving-without-moving. Like as if she were on a platform that moved without her having to.

"Nah." Benny dismissed the idea, and we followed Sarah into the kitchen.

"Whoa." Ethan breathed

"O-kay." Benny said. "Maybe I see what you're getting at."

On the kitchen counter, Sarah crouched like an animal, sniffing. Then she growled and vampire-sped to the fridge and opened it, looking inside. She grabbed a box of something, and started eating ravenously, randomly throwing food at us and grunting.

"I've never seen a girl eat like that." Rory said.

More food and other things were thrown at us. "Sarah, why don't we just-" a handful of food was thrown our way.

Sarah glared at us and spoke in a demonic language.

"Ohhh, definitely not Sarah." I said.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ethan asked.

"The ghost that escaped from the séance board?" Rory asked.

"Found a body it liked." I nodded in confirmation.

"Can't say I blame it." Benny smirked "You gotta admit, she looks like more fun."

Sarah threw a bottle at us and we all jumped out of the way.

"Yeah, if she wasn't trashing my house!" Ethan said angrily. Sarah grabbed a chocolate cake off the counter and set it on the island. "Oh no. No no. Not the cake! Please don't!" Ethan pleaded. "Please, my mom just made that cake for her book club tomorrow. She researched recipes all week. Please!"

Sarah dug her hands into the cake and shoved ginormous pieces in her mouth. My eyes widened, then narrowed. Mrs. Morgan said I could have some if there was any leftover tomorrow. I wanted that cake. Now it's personal.

"Ethan, where's Sarah?" Jane called from upstairs.

"We think she's possessed by a ghost from the Netherlands!" Rory yelled up to her, his voice cracking and squeaking.

"Rory!" Ethan hissed "Heh, she's just getting you guys a snack. Be right up!" Ethan yelled.

"I have got to try that cake." Benny said.

"Benny!"

"What? It's not like your mom can feed it to her book ladies now." Benny stepped over to the demolished cake. Sarah looked up at him and roared.

"Okay, it's your cake, I get it." Benny said nervously. I pulled him back to us quickly.

"Sarah. Sarah? Are you in there?" Ethan asked hesitantly. Sarah looked up at him, licking cake off her fingers. She spoke in that demon language again, and disappeared.

Running to the dining room, we saw Sarah holding a trophy and smirking evilly.

"Stop. Stop, okay?" Ethan said carefully "put down the trophy."

"Dude, it's just a bowling trophy." Benny said.

"No. It's the only trophy my dad has ever won. Ever."

That made more sense. Sarah grinned and threw the trophy down at the ground, smashing it to pieces. Ethan made a whimpering, grunt noise in fright and anger. "Okay, that's it. This party is over!" Ethan growled angrily, "I command you to return to the board and go back to wherever you came from!"

Sarah glared at him. "Big mistake." Benny warned in fear.

Sarah roared again, and we all screamed. I clutched Benny's hand, feeling almost blown away by Sarah's roar. She stopped and vampire-sped away. We rushed after her, watching her go up the stairs in a flash. Jane screamed from upstairs. "Jane!" We yelled together, and rushed upstairs.

"You alright?" Rory yelled as we rushed to her room. We all started yelling for the little girl.

"Jane, are you okay?"

"Jane?"

"Jane!"

"Jane, answer us!"

"Jane? Where are you, Jane?"

Ethan opened her bedroom door, and Benny and I stopped to look inside. Nothing. "It's empty." Ethan said, closing the door.

"Uh, guys," we looked to Rory at the end of the hall "I think I know where she is." He stood in front a door, slightly open with a red light glowing from within. We ran over and pushed open the door, screaming when we saw what was inside. Sarah, looking scary and demonic, raised her hand and shut the door in our screaming faces.

"What the heck was that?" Benny asked as we ran down the stairs.

"A guess?" I said.

"I'd say some kind of demon has taken over Sarah's body." Ethan finished.

Benny sighed, tilting his head back "This was a bad idea. I told you a séance was a bad idea!"

"It was your idea!" Ethan and I said together.

"Okay, now is not the time to be throwing blame around, Ethan! And you're supposed to be on my side, Aria!" He whined "But, while we're on the topic, I'm not the one who invited Casper the psycho ghost in!"

"It was an accident!" Rory yelled.

"Now is not the time to argue!" I yelled.

"Okay! Let's assess." Benny said "we have an evil demon who's taken possession of a fledgling vampire's body, who has trapped your little sister in your bedroom."

"Right." Ethan agreed.

"Right." Rory said.

"I can't believe this is my life now." I shook my head.

"Well, there's only one thing to do." Benny nodded, smiling.

"We're gonna get geared up, aren't we?" I asked unhappily.

Benny looked at me with a smirk on his face, nodding his head slowly.


We looked ridiculous. Rory had a large bug net stick, and a safari hat. Ethan wore a colander on his head and held a crowbar. Benny had a hockey helmet on and a baseball bat. That actually was pretty smart. I was forced into wearing a small lampshade on my head, but I grabbed the lamp and was holding it upside-down, to use the heavy bottom as a blunt weapon.

We marched upstairs and into Ethan's room, which was glowing blue now. Looking in, we didn't see anything. Rory opened the closet and Jane was in there, whimpering and clutching a large stuffed elephant. She pointed to the other side of the room.

I looked over and saw Sarah at Ethan's computer. We edged closer. I noticed she was on Ethan's Facebook account. "What's it doing?" Benny whispered.

"It's changing my status..." Ethan said.

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out and checked the status update "To 'Jamming with my babysitter in my Star Trek Jammie's!" I laughed "classic."

Rory and Benny laughed too, and Benny said "Burn, yo!" loudly.

Sarah turned and noticed our presence. Shit. I gasped and we started backing away. Sarah stood up and yelled in the demonic language. Something thumped against the closet door and Ethan and I screamed. "Okay, we're not leaving until you give me my sister back!" Ethan said defiantly.

Sarah roared, and this time, disgusting green goo sprayed out of her mouth and onto us.

I shrieked in disgust, and the guys were screaming around me too. "EW EW EW!" I screamed, pulling my shirt away from my body. Then we ran out, and down the stairs.

"What is this stuff?!" Rory asked, disgusted.

"I don't know. I feel so dirty!" Benny said.

"Ugh, that was so nasty!" I squeaked, carefully pulling off my shirt so it wouldn't touch me, and revealing my (mostly) clean tank top.

"No way!" Ethan stared at his fingers "Its ectoplasm! The physical manifestation of paranormal energy!"

"Cool!" Rory and Benny said.

"I don't really enjoy having ectoplasm vomited on me." I grumbled, trying to get the gross goo out of my hair.

"Check this out." Benny said, pulling out his phone, "it's an EMF app that I jury-rigged to detect paranormal activity." The thing beeped and he looked at it "Whoa, these are some high readings you got here."

"Okay..." Ethan sighed.

"Well, we'll be leaving now, come on Aria." Benny grabbed my arm and pulled me to the door, only to be pulled back by Rory and Ethan.

"No, we have to think this through." Ethan said.

"What would the Ghostbusters do?" I asked sarcastically.

I was joking, but Ethan nodded his head vigorously. "Exactly!"

"Good job Angel." Benny kissed my ectoplasm-covered cheek, but his face was slimy too. "They used streams of lightning plasma to suck ghosts into their containment units."

"Do we have any of that stuff?" Rory asked excitedly.

"No. All we have that sucks is a vacuum." Ethan said.

"My dad has a leaf blower that we could kick into reverse." Benny added.

"Nothing strong enough to hold a spirit as nasty as this, though." I sighed.

"There is one thing I know that can suck up spirits and hold them." Ethan said. I looked at him confused. What did he have that was so powerful?


"Once we suck the soul out, we'll need a place to contain it." Ethan said while he dug a hole in his yard.

"The Cubile Animus?" Benny asked "Seriously? This is a really bad idea. I mean, if the séance was a bad idea, this is a seriously, majorly, fucked-up idea."

"The huh-what-now?" I asked "What is the... Animal thing you just said."

"The Cubile Animus is a magic box that can capture souls." Benny explained "We got it when we first discovered our powers and fought off a bunch of vampires from the Drama club. Jesse, their leader, wanted to use it to bring back his flock from a hundred years ago using the souls of dusk fans from the movie premier. It was a few weeks before you moved here."

"Oh. I bet you looked so hot fighting off those vampires." I purred, stepping close.

Benny put an arm around my waist and pulled me against him "You bet I did."

"Are you guys going to help us or flirt?" Ethan asked.

"I'd rather flirt." I shrugged.

Ethan's desk chair fell onto the ground, followed by a book. Looking up, I saw Sarah throwing stuff out of Ethan's window.

"My lucky Borg cube!" Ethan whined, distracted from Benny and I. More things rained down in front of us. "Oh come on, my star projector? That was a gift!" To Benny he said "She better not throw my limited-edition Heckbot Superflyer!"

"Dig." Benny nodded, and they both bent down to dig. They hit something, making a "clink" sound, and Benny dropped his shovel to dig the box out with his hands. Those hands... Ooh. Gives me tingles.

He pulled out a small box and stood up. "Let's do this." Ethan said. Then a box came flying down, hitting the grass. The Heckbot Superflyer.

"Okay!" Ethan yelled "Stop throwing my stuff!"

A phone beeped "Hey Ethan, why'd you just text me one of your baby pictures?" Rory laughed.

"Awww!" Benny cooed, looking at the picture and laughing.

"Oh! She emailed this to the entire school!" Ethan wailed. "Ho, that's it. This is on!" He picked up the box and ran, Benny and I following, Rory not far behind us.


Inside, Ethan strapped on the magic soul box to Benny's dads leaf blower. "Okay, I've secured the Cubile Animus."

"Alright, let's go get Jane back." I smiled.

"Okay, let 'er rip!" Ethan said.

Benny nodded and grabbed the cord to the leaf blower, and pulled it back.

Nothing.

"Go again." Ethansaid.

He pulled the cord again.

Nothing.

"Did you check the fuel?" Ethan asked, exasperated.

"Yes, I checked the fuel." Benny said "I already told you twice that I filled it up!" He pulled it again, with no luck.

"Maybe the couplings you made for the tubing are malfunctioning!" Ethan checked the machine over.

"Oh, here we go. So everything I build is faulty? And everything you build is golden." Benny accused.

"You know, I don't like your tone." Ethan said, and the two started bickering.

"'Scuse me, ladies." I rolled my eyes, stepping over to the leaf blower.

Looking it over, I noticed something. The power switch wasn't on.

Rory did too. "Guys. Guys!" The two boys stopped "Did you try the power switch?" He pointed to the switch.

I pressed it on and ripped back the cord, hearing the start-up go into a steady purr.

"Yeah!" Rory cheered giving me a high five, Ethan and Benny cheering with him.

The boys picked it up and Benny held it.

"Nice going!" Ethan yelled to Rory over the whir.

"Alright, let's go bag us a demon!" Benny said.

They walked out, me trailing behind "You're welcome." I mumbled.

Upstairs we burst into Ethan's room. It was still glowing blue, but now a lot of his things were floating in the air. We stared in surprise. "Hey, I like what you've done with the place." Rory yelled over the noise.

Sarah was in the corner, drawing strange symbols on the walls. "Those are some kind of demonic symbols!" Ethan identified. Sarah turned to look at us.

"Okay, you're gonna give me back my sister and get back in that board, or else!" Ethan demanded.

"Or else?" Ghost-Sarah challenged, speaking English for the first time.

"Or else, we're gonna take care of this Whitechapel style!" Ethan yelled.

"Yeah, you tell them!" Rory said.

Sarah spoke in the demon language again.

"Alright." Ethan confirmed.

"Hot or not, let's waste this demon!" Benny yelled.

"Yeah, pull it!" Ethan yelled to Rory, who grasped the cord and pulled.

I ran to the closet and opened the door. "Jane, run!" I grabbed the little girl and pulled her out of the room and down the hall, Rory running with me.

In the safety of Jane's bedroom, I collapsed on the bed and pulled Jane to me. "You alright, sweetie?" I asked her.

She nodded "uh-huh."

"Good." I panted. Rory fell into the spot beside me. I laid my head on his shoulder "phew. Think they'll make it?" I nodded my head towards the stairs.

"Yeah, they'll be fine." Rory assured me.

The whirring of the leaf blower stopped and I heard the boys whoop with happiness.

"I'm gonna go see if they're okay." Rory said, and left.


With Jane asleep in her bed, Ethan, Sarah, Rory, Benny and I rushed to clean up the house before Ethan's parents got back. The door opened and I heard Mrs. Morgan laughing, and Mr. Morgan saying something to her. Quickly, we all tried to look casual. Rory fell into the armchair, Benny sat on the arm, and I sat in Rory's lap, leaning in to Benny who wrapped an arm around me. Ethan and Sarah stood next to us.

"Hey mom, hey dad." Ethan greeted.

"Hey, guys." Ethan's mom said back.

"How was the senior prom?" Ethan asked.

"Well, it was a little slower than I remember." She answered.

"Where's grandma?" Benny asked. I could feel his heart beating fast against the back of my head.

"The captain of the lawn bowling team took her to the pancake palace for the midnight buffet." Mrs. Morgan answered awkwardly. "Yeah, I don't know where she gets her energy. I'm going to bed." She sighed, and Mr. Morgan laughed.

"Gross!" Benny whispered.

I giggled "Grandmas got a boyfriend!" I teased quietly.

"Shut up." He pouted.

"But I've got the best boyfriend of them all." I whispered, snuggling into his chest.

"So," Mr. Morgan said, walking over to us "I understand you're the new president of the Whitechapel Justin Beiber Fan Club."

"What?" Ethan asked, confused.

"We'll Rory's parents were working the Desert table, they showed us your status update." Mr. Morgan explained. "Are you, um, sure you wanna sign up for figure skating?"

"Okay, dad, thanks!" Ethan went to his dad, "nothing to worry about."

"Okay. Good night." Mr. Morgan said.

We waved goodbye. Ethan spun around to face Sarah. "Justin Beiber? Really?"

"It wasn't me, remember?" Sarah defended herself.

Letting it go, Ethan turned to Benny "did you take care of the Cubile Animus?"

"Yeah, I hid it really well." Benny said. "That thing is never going to bother us again."

I sighed and relaxed against Rory "Phew."


AN: Another chapter finished! Did you guys like it? ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE CHRISTMAS CHAPTER?! I'm still working on it but I PROMISE it will be done by Christmas Eve! A lot of you guys said you wanted it on Christmas Eve so... I live to please!

PLUUUUSSSS I've got a super special Kickin' It New Years one-shot! I've been really excited for my Jack/OC story, so I wanted to share some of it with you guys! I'll be posting it on New Years Eve. It doesn't really have anything to do with the story line of the actual story, but it'll be fluffy! And funny! I'm thinking of calling it Kickin' Off the New Year. You guys like that?

ALRIGHT, so I've got nothing else to blather about, so...

SHOUT OUTS!

MsWildfire97: Yeah, I originally had it where Benny had still gotten bitten but then I got the idea to make Benny all worried about her. I thought it'd be cute and fluffy! And it was! I'll be working on my stalking... but NOOOO! FENCES ARE MY WEAKNESS! GAAHHHHH!

MeganRoseMaslow: I'm gonna post it on Christmas Eve, no worries. I hope its good! It may not be as long as most of my chapters but... It should be cute :)

Dusker101: I'm glad you liked Aria being a zombie! Everyone seems to be liking it :) I hope you liked this chapter! I would love being a writer, but I'm terrible at finishing stories (Take my Wizards of Waverly Place fic, I haven't finished it and probably won't)

louisluv218: YAY someone else who thinks of Rory as a puppy! Yes! I'm thinking of starting this new MBAV fic where the OC has to choose between Benny and Rory. I don't know who she'd be with, but I'm leaning towards Rory because he is so H-O-T in the second season! Which is where I planned on starting the story so...

Vs-for-life: Oh my gosh, I think my heart exploded when you said you'd go to starbucks to steal their Wifi just to read my story! I love you! Where are you going for Christmas? I'm staying home haha. Luckily I've got all the episodes of season two recorded on my cable box. So YAY! BAAACCOOONNN!

Trying2fly101: I hope Benny's line was very fluffy! I kind of "awwww"'ed myself writing it. I hope you'll like my Jack/OC One-shot for New Years Eve. I promise it will be good! And I think I've got a few chapters of the actual story done, so when I finish a couple more I think I'll start posting them. Probably on Saturday nights. Some chapters will follow episodes but some of them won't. So I hope you like it!

Review my lovelies! Keep on readin'!

Forever yours,
