AN: Hey guys! DEAR GOD THIS WEEK TOOK FOR-FREAKING-EVER! I thought Friday was never going to come! But it did. And guess what? I went home sick second period. I mean, this is the third time I've been sick this school year, and the second time I had to leave school early because of it. I have NEVER had to leave school before because I was sick! NEVER! It's really weird. But luckily I didn't puke in school. That would have been humiliating. And I wasn't that sick, I only threw up a few times. So yay for not being violently sick like I was over winter break!

ANYWAYS ENOUGH OF MY BORING LIFE. TIME FORE WHAT YOU ALL ARE REALLY HERE FOR.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MY BABYSITTERS A VAMPIRE, BUT I DO OWN ARIA AND SOME OF THE PLOT FOR THIS CHAPTER.

Ethan, Benny and I walked into Mr. G's class. Mr. G was an awkward man, but a fun teacher. He was nice to all his students and didn't like to give them detentions. But when we walked in, instead of Mr. G, there was a beautiful exotic woman standing at his desk, holding what looked like a glass skull. Benny and Ethan stopped dead in their tracks, staring.

"Welcome, my warriors. I am Lucia." An accent rolled off her tongue, adding more sex appeal.

I stared in jealousy as Rory walked in, his back to the sub. "I heard we had a sub for Mr. G, what prank should we pull first? Alien fire alarm or sub in a bucket - what?!" He whined as Ethan and Benny started to smack his arms, turning him to face the substitute.

"Hottest. Sub. Ever." All three boys breathed at the same time.

I squeaked in anger, shoving Benny's arm. Still, he remained oblivious.

"Maidens are not needed. Be gone with you." The substitute, Ms. Lucia, waved her hand at me dismissively.

"Excuse me?" I asked dangerously.

"I only need warriors. Leave now. You are of no use to me." She said.

I looked back and forth between her and Benny, hoping he would stick up for me as my boyfriend. Still oblivious, he just stared at Ms. Lucia. I growled and stomped out, swinging my bag roughly over my shoulder. "Have fun being a warrior, Benny!" I snapped on my way out. I rampaged down the hall, not even noticing when I almost ran over Sarah and Erica.

"Whoa speedy, where are you going in such a rush?" Sarah laughed. Then she noticed my angry expression "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing that can't be fixed with a little bite, eh squirt?" Erica said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. Over the summer we had become rather close with the absence of Sarah.

"Benny is being a prick. Seriously! One kind of pretty teacher walks in, and he's all goo-goo eyes for her! Like, hello, I am his girlfriend! Not that old hag!" I ranted "and then she was all like "You have to go, maidens are of no use to me." And made me leave! And Benny didn't even stick up for me!"

"What can I tell ya, never trust a nerd." Erica said, shrugging.

"Ignore her, Benny loves you and you know it. He was probably staring at her in horror of how ugly she is." That made me crack a smile. "What class is she subbing for?"

"Mr. G."

"We'll go check it out." Erica said, nodding.

After the bell rang for our next class, I walked with Sarah and Erica to my next class, hoping to avoid Benny. Unfortunately, Lady Luck did not shine her grace upon me.

"Hey, do you girls know where I could find some Blood Stone? It sounds vampirey." Benny asked, him and Ethan walking up to us.

"I don't know, why don't you go ask your precious Ms. Lucia?" I snapped.

"Calm down, tiger. I got this." Erica said, holding my shoulder "All out of Blood Stone, but I can make you bleed with a rock." She smiled.

"So, your freaky sub gave you freaky homework, and you're not freaked?" Sarah asked.

"Hot sub-" I started spitefully.

"Frozen brain-" Erica added.

"Done!" We finished together.

Ethan gave us a sarcastic look "My brain is not frozen, I just- " he stopped when Ms. Lucia walked by " -have to find uh, frog hearts." He said breathlessly, him and Benny already turning away.

"You see what I mean?" I gestured wildly to the two boys.

"Am I nuts, or did we just get blown off... by nerds." Erica stepped forward.

"Something messed up is going on." Sarah agreed.

The rest of the day went by with me pointedly ignoring Benny and him... Not caring. It tore my heart apart to see him blatantly pining for another. I walked home alone, seeing him and Ethan leaving to scavenge more items for their "queen."

The next day passed by the same way. And the next. And the next. Finally, by Thursday I had had enough. First period, Mr. G's class, I caught Benny before he went in.

"Benny, we have to talk." I said urgently.

"Later babe, I gotta get this stuff to my queen." He lifted up a bag of... old hot dogs? Ew.

My anger flared "Don't call me babe, Benny! What the hell is wrong with you lately?"

"Aria, I can't disappoint my queen. Can I go?"

I glared up at him, making the biggest decision of my life "Yeah, you can go. But don't bother coming back to me." And with those final words, I turned on my feet and swiftly walked away, wishing Benny would snap out of it and come after me. I passed four classrooms, and was halfway down the hall. Not so much as a yell of my name. I bit my lip, ducking my head down and running into the nearest bathroom, hoping that no one would see me cry.

I ended up going home early, faking a stomach ache and crawled into my bed, sniffling and dabbing at my seemingly endlessly wet eyes. Two hours later my phone started vibrating, showing me I had texts from Sarah and Erica.

Sarah

Hey, where are you?

Sarah

Did you go home?

Erica

Sarah said you went home. You okay?

Erica

Helloooo, you there?

Sarah

Erica and I are coming over after school...

True to their word, both girls showed up at my door. I texted them that it was open and that I was up in my room, not wanting to get up or yell down all the way to the door. I heard the door open, and Sarah called up "Aria? We're here and we're coming up."

"Please don't be puking!" Erica added.

When they walked in, I stared at them from under my covers, tissues scattered around the comforter.

"Oh god, Aria, what happened to you?" Sarah asked in shock, rushing over to sit on the bed, taking me in her arms. Erica sat next to me, rubbing under my eyes with a fresh tissue. I probably had mascara and eyeliner running down my face.

"B-Benny and I broke u-up." I choked out, trying not to start crying again.

"What?!"

"I just couldn't take it. All he cares about is that h-horrid bitch Lucia. He w-wouldn't even talk to me today! He just kept saying "my queen, my queen!" I dissolved back into tears.

"Oh, honey, he's not worth it," Erica wrapped a comforting arm around me "he's just a nerd."

"But he was my nerd!" I wailed, falling back to my bed.

"You know what?" Sarah suddenly stood up "I'm going to go talk to Ethan. Maybe he knows why Benny is acting so weird. Erica, stay here with her." And she left.

Erica stayed with me, as promised, deciding that giving me a makeover would solve all my problems. She brushed and styled my hair, and played with my makeup, making me her Barbie. Not long after she finished, Sarah came back. I told them they could leave, and they did so unhappily, trying to stay and comfort me as long as they could. But I said I wanted to be alone for a little while. After they left, I heaved myself out of bed and went to my bathroom, turning on the shower as hot as it would go. I stepped into the scalding water and swore, jumping back out. "Son of a bitch! I don't get how the girls in those romance novels can 'not feel it'." I mumbled to myself, turning the water back down to a more normal temperature and got back in. I washed my hair out, all of Erica's hard work going down the drain, along with my heartbreak. I sighed, feeling the warm water running down my body, my muscles relaxing. I turned the water off, stepping out and wrapped a towel around my body. I padded back to my room and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt, towel drying my hair until it was damp. I slung it up in a ponytail and trudged downstairs.

"Hey sweetie." My mom said sympathetically, coming over to me to hug me.

I hugged her back, breathing in her familiar, comforting mom smell. "Hi mommy." I said back.

"How are you feeling?"

"Better." I answered truthfully.

"Good. And tonight, we are going to eat junk food and watch movies." She smiled, leading me to the couch. "So, what do you want? Pizza, ice cream, cookies? Anything for you, baby."

"Can we get Chinese and then go out for fro-yo?" I asked.

"Of course! Lo mein and orange chicken?" My mom asked. I nodded. "You got it." She said and left to go order the food. I stood and picked out a few movies. A few of my favorites; A Nightmare on Elm Street (the 2010 remake), X-Men: First Class, and Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant. It was silly, my love for fake vampires when I knew real vampires. But hey, the guy that played Darren was cute. He looked delicious in that red leather jacket.

My mom came back and we watched movies and ate food. I fell asleep curled up on the couch.

The next day I woke up at six. Still have time to go to school. But could I? Could I deal with seeing Benny? My heart still hurt at the thought of him.

"Do you wanna stay home today?" My mom asked when she saw me awake.

"I think... I think I'll be okay to go to school." I decided. She nodded in understanding.

Going up to my room, I knew I couldn't let one bad break up affect me. So today, I was going to look fantastic. With the extremely weird heat wave, I was able to pull on a denim mini skirt and a dark gray tank top with black lace at the top and a white design with the letters "A D", the A shaped like the Eiffel Tower. With it, black and silver bangles and brown ankle booties. I brushed out my hair and straightened it, leaving it soft and silky. I kept my makeup simple and grabbed my bag.

"Later mom!" I called, walking out the door. The air was warm as I walked, an odd bounce to my step. I didn't quite understand why I was so happy. It wasn't really true happiness, but more like an empty happiness, something to feel just so I wouldn't be sad. A fake happiness. Either way, I made it to school without breaking down or running back home. I got a few turned heads as I walked down the hall. News of the break up must have travelled fast. And of course, there was already a jock at my locker when I got there.

"Hey Aria, how you doing?" He said. Dark brown hair, short and combed forward to spike up at the front.

"Can I help you, Ricky?" I asked tersely.

"Well you can certainly help me later tonight..." He smiled, giving me a wink and thrusting his hips forward.

I scoffed in disgust "Get lost, Ricky."

"C'mon babe, now that you're not dating that loser geek, you're free to hang out with a real man, who can give you real pleasure." He stroked my arm softly.

"You're a disgusting creep. You couldn't pleasure me if I gave you step-by-step instructions. Now, I suggest you get the fuck out of my face before I really get pissed." I hissed. "And one more thing. Don't call me babe." I fixed him with my worst glare until he swaggered off like he hadn't just been completely rejected, muttering "crazy bitch" under his breath.

I breathed out heavily leaning against my locker door. Screwing my eyes shut, I opened my eyes and opened my locker. I grabbed my books and went to class.

Sarah and Erica did their best to keep me away from Benny. I think they were trying to hide something from me, especially since neither Ethan, Benny, or Rory was in class.

Later at home, I was on the phone with Sarah, watching the weather news.

"You're seeing this, right?" She asked.

"Uh, yeah. This is so wacked up."

"It sounds like the hour of judgment is tonight at sundown. And if we don't act fast, the sun is going to take our friends with it!" Sarah exclaimed nervously.

"I never imagined being burned alive as my way to go." I said, mostly to myself.

"Wait, Erica's got a plan. Meet us at Ethan's house." Sarah said.

"On my way." I said, hanging up and going out the door.

"I'm glad you girls called me." Benny's grandma said as we sat in Ethan's room. It was a little difficult to see her. She reminded me of Benny.

"I figured we needed to come up with a plan like Ethan and Benny would." Sarah said

"Then give up and call you. Like Ethan and Benny would." Erica said bluntly, playing with a rubber snake.

"Lucia is an ancient Maztak name." Mrs. Weir said "Now, the Maztaks were pretty big on gold and animal hearts too, look." She pointed to a picture in the book. I swiveled over in Ethan's desk chair.

"The sun king and the sky queen created the earth together. But an argument between the two brought eternal night to the world." Sarah read.

"Too bad they didn't have couples counseling." I muttered. Mrs. Weir laughed.

Sarah continued "Prophets say one day the queen will make an offer so pleasing that the sun king will return to the earth in an explosion of light that will end the mortal world?" She finished with disbelief in her voice.

"At least I won't have to finish that essay." Erica said. "Yay!"

Sarah looked worried "Lucia had the boys build an alter at school. She said the hour of judgment was tonight at sundown."

"What are you doing yammering with an old lady?" Mrs. Weir exclaimed "it's up to you girls to save the world!"

"Grandmas right." Sarah said, standing up "its girl power, or nothing. We need to get our geek on, and fast."

Just then, Jane ran in the room "Yay!" She yelled excitedly.

"She said girl power. Not little girl power." Erica shot her down.

"Boo." Jane said. Sarah pulled me up and had me help them think.

"Where's our big plan?" Erica asked sarcastically.

"I'm trying to find Lucia's weakness and her power source. What exactly are you doing to help?" Sarah shot back sweetly. Jane and I sat on Ethan's bed, watching the danger brew.

"Lucia's only weakness is her taste in robes." Erica said

"And glass heads." I added lamely.

Sarah looked at me like I was a genius "Right! Her crystal skull. I bet that's her power source. Check this out." She showed us something in her book "the sun's rays are heating up the skull."

"So what?" Erica asked.

"So what happened in the original myth? Why'd they break up?" I thought out loud.

"Uh, long distance relationships never work out?" Erica answered.

"Heh, nice one." Jane smiled.

"Here it is." Sarah began reading from the book "they split because the moon goddess came between them."

"Ah, the other woman." I growled.

"Great, gotta give the moon goddess a call. Got her cell number?" Erica asked.

"Maybe we don't need the actual moon, just something that will channel the moons energy." Sarah realized.

"Well, maybe I'm just a little girl, but I know a big geek who paid six months allowance to buy moonstones online. He even sleeps with them under his pillow!" Jane said smartly.

"Perfect!" I smiled.

Erica rushed to the bed and reached under the pillow. She brought out a pair of Ethan's underwear. "EW!" She squealed with a gasp, and threw the garment to the floor. "Great, now I'm going to have to go chew off this hand."

Sarah reached under the pillow and pulled out the bag of moonstones. "Okay, we got it." Sarah said "let's go."

As we walked out, I said "Thanks Jane, you're the best!" to the sweet little girl. She called back "You're welcome!"

As we walked out of the house, I stopped "wait, guys. The sun is too hot for you guys. You need to cover up before we take Lucia down."

"Good idea." Sarah nodded.

"Let's go to my house." Erica said, smiling "I've got this."

"Why am I wearing shorts?" I asked, looking at the black shorts, white tank top, black leather vest, and black leather knee-high boots. Yeah, Erica had a lot of leather

"Because I can't wear shorts anymore. So someone has to wear them!" Came Erica's answer.

"Fine." I grumbled, taking in their black and leather outfits as well.

"Let's roll." Erica said, pulling out two motorcycle helmets. I understood the whole sun-protection thing, but that was just hilarious.

"We've got our moon rocks, and paint for the windows." Sarah listed as we walked around the outside of the school.

"Sarah, we're risking our lives on a flimsy plan based off a legend." Erica pointed out.

"It's the only plan we've got!" Sarah said.

The ground beneath us started shaking. It was time to take action "C'mon guys. It's time to dethrone a queen." I said. Erica and Sarah flipped down the visors on their helmets and we heaved black paint onto the windows.

"Who dares defile the sun king's sacred temple?" Lucia demanded in the dark room.

Sarah, Erica and I walked in like bad asses. They took their helmets off, swinging their hair, while I just stood by with my hip cocked out and my arms crossed. "We do." I sneered.

"The weather girls are here with an updated forecast." Sarah said.

"Yeah, cloudy with a one hundred percent chance of butt-kicking." Erica finished.

The shirtless guys all glared at us. I tried not to look at Benny. Ethan however was tied down to an altar. "Warriors, attack!" Lucia commanded.

The boys rushed at us, Sarah and Erica easily fending them off. I ran to Ethan and tried to untie him. "Damn, what are these ropes made of?" I asked no one, pulling at the rope. I heard the sound of glass shattering, the room filling with light as Lucia broke the windows with a chair.

I gave up on the ropes as Lucia picked up the crystal skull. I retreated back to Sarah and Erica as Benny and Rory advanced in them.

"Wow, you guys look hot." Benny commented "it's a shame we're going to have to destroy you."

"Oh really, Benny?" I asked from behind him. He whipped around to glare at me.

"Chosen one needs your help!" Ethan cried. Benny turned back around and both he and Rory attacked at the same time. Sarah and Erica grabbed their arms and pressed two moonstones against their foreheads. A purple light glowed and they staggered forward, back to normal. We ran to Ethan, where Lucia was trying to complete the sacrifice.

"Here's one final offering from the moon goddess, bitch!" I yelled, throwing the moonstone at Ethan. He caught it and pressed it to Lucia's forehead. She yelled out in pain and stumbled backwards, dropping the crystal skull.

The skull shattered against the tile floor. Lucia screamed "Nooo!" And dissipated in a gold light. Everyone returned to normal and Rory and Benny rushed to untie Ethan.

"What - what happened?" Mr. G asked in a daze.

"We saved the world." Sarah smiled.

"And we looked pretty amazing while doing it." Erica said with a flip of her hair.

"Yeah!" I cheered, fist bumping her.

"True story." Ethan agreed with a shrug.

I caught Benny's eye but pointedly looked away. Even if he had been under a trance and might not remember any of it, we were still broken up...

The next day at school I ignored Benny, despite his constant attempts to talk to me. I spoke a little to Rory, and I was fine with Ethan. But we did not discuss Benny at all. It was hard though, to see him so often. Especially with the broken look in his eyes, full of questions I just couldn't yet answer.

Finally, he caught me after school. "Aria, why have you been ignoring me all day?" He asked.

I ignored him, keeping my eyes inside my locker as I put stuff in my bag.

"Aria." No answer.

"Aria!" He grabbed my arm, twisting me to look at him "Dammit, talk to me! I don't remember anything that happened yesterday, or the day before! I don't know what I did to make you so mad at me, but please, Aria, tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it. I can't stand that you haven't spoken to me all day. I miss you. I need you."

"You didn't me yesterday! Or the day before! All you needed was your queen, Lucia!" I snapped.

"I was in a trance! I didn't know what I was doing!"

"It still hurt, Benny!" I yelled, tears forming in my eyes. I willed them not to spill over "You wanna know what happened between us?"

He nodded.

"I left you." I said in a low voice.

"W-what?" Benny asked, his eyes wide and fearful and hurt.

"I. Left. You. We're over, Benny." The words burned and tasted like acid.

"You can't be serious. Stop messing around. Please don't be serious!" He started rambling "You can't leave me, Aria, I need you. I love you. I promise I can do better, I can make it up to you. Just don't leave me. Please."

I sighed, shutting my locker "I don't know, Benny. I don't know."

And I walked away.

AN: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I know you want to, and I totally deserve it.

BUT IF YOU DO, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IF THEY GET BECK TOGETHER.

SO THERE. I HAVE VALUE!

But for reals. I know some of you may be dying inside, which makes me really happy. And that sounds horrible, but it means that you guys actually care for my story! Which makes me SO FRIGGEN HAPPY!

OKAY, SO I've been trying to work on my Kickin' It Jack/OC story, BUT IM STUCK! So, for those of you who have read Kickin' Off the New Year, or would like to read a Jack/OC fanfic, I NEED YOUR HELP. I'm trying to write Jack and Emma on a date, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY SHOULD DO FOR THEIR DATE! GAAHHHH HELP ME! Review with date ideas, or message/pm me. Please!

And I'm working on another MBAV story, about an Elf princess who comes to earth looking for Benny's help to save her kingdom. It's going pretty good so far!

Another thing I've just started is actually a Big Time Rush story. it's AU, a bit OOC, and it's going to be either Carlos/OC or Logan/OC. It is based off my FAVORITE manga/anime/japanese&korean drama EVER, Boys Over Flowers, also known as Hana Yori Dango. Anyone heard of it? I SUGGEST YOU READ IT. Or watch the japanese drama. I wouldn't suggest the korean. It's okay, but nowhere near as great as the japanese drama.

OKAY SHOUT OUT TIME!

Tori Sell(Guest): I'm glad you like the teasing! I love making Aria be all like sexy and teasing, and then Benny either does the same thing or he's like "Uhhhhhh..." It's fun!

xx2cute2b4gottenxx: More fluff I can do! UGH I saw you said that I should put in a new boy to take away Aria and it literally took all I had not to say "BUT I'M ALREADY BREAKING THEM UP WHAT MORE CAN I DO TO POOR BENNY?!" It's still an option though! Well maybe.

Dusker101: OH I LOVE YOU! I did get my nose pierced! It hurt, but it's fine now. No infections (yet) so I'm really happy with it! OH making a romance between Rory and Aria would be PERFECT right now, now that Aria and Benny are done! For now at least. But I will DEFINITELY look into it!

MsWildfire97: Tee hee! Glad you're excited for this! I'm glad you had a good birthday, but please don't make me guess you're age! I'm so bad at this... uh, okay, I'm gonna say... between 14 and 17? AM I CLOSE?!

Vera(Guest): HOLY CRAP YOU LEFT A LONG REVIEW! I LOVE IT! I have been thinking about a new girl for Rory, but idk what I could do with her. But I agree, Rory is sooooo adorable! I could just squeeze him! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME BECAUSE I MADE BENNY SAD! DON'T BE SAD! I hope you liked this chapter even though I totally destroyed Aria and Benny's relationship.

ilovemesomebenny: WHOOOOO! Hahaha, yeah I'm a junior! And auditions for the spring musical are on Thursday we're doing You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. I'm auditioning for Lucy. I really hope I get it, everyone keeps saying I'd be a good Lucy Plus if I did, it'd be my first lead role in a muscial. and you're right, WHO DOESN'T LOVE BENNY!

Bethan Forever: I can see that a new girl for Rory is pretty popular! Everyone seems to want that. I'm definitely thinking about it. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KEEP BENNY AND ARIA TOGETHER PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!

Okay guys, so let me know! New girl for Rory, or perhaps take advantage of this opportunity and make a small romance between Aria and Rory? ultimately, the final couple will be Benny and Aria either way. ALSO, Date idea for Jack and Emma for Kickin' It? OR, since When The First Love Begins has become rather popular with some of you, perhaps something new for Max and Alice? I haven't thought of anything to do with them, but I think it'd be fun to mess around with Alice's crazy ass again. What do you guys think? REVIEW AND TELL ME. YOU'RE LEADER COMMANDS IT!

Alright, all my love!
