AN: FML! I swear I was totally going to update last night, and of course RIGHT AS I WAS ABOUT TO TRANSFER THE CHAPTER FROM MY PHONE ON TO MICROSOFT WORD my mom came home. And I have to use her computer since mine still doesn't have Microsoft Word on it, and my mom doesn't know I write fanfiction and I'd like to keep it that way so she doesn't read them... It probably wouldn't matter, but I use a lot of cuss words (as you all know) and my mom thinks I don't cuss, so... Yeah. But I'm updating now! I will try my hardest to update on time next week!

OH BTW I realized that after Village of the Darned (which I don't think I'll do) the episode Hottie Ho-Tep was supposed to come after it, not Independence Daze. So, uh, yeah, my chapters are a little screwed up. OH WELL.

BARIA FTW.

Today our class was on a field trip at the local museum. There was a new mummy exhibit for a limited time, and Mr. G was able to talk the school into taking us there. We walked into the room where the mummy was and observed it. "Our young prince died at the tender age of eighteen, but the ancient Egyptians viewed death as a journey to a different world." Mr. G explained, standing over the mummy.

Ethan raised his hand "Um, what's with the ancient supper ware?*"

"Ah, well, you know the old saying 'You can't take it with you'?" Mr. G asked.

Ethan nodded "Yeah."

"Yeah well, uh, they didn't." Mr. G joked. A couple of kids in the class chuckled. "Anyways, this uh, gift-wrapped fellow was arranged to marry a pharaohs daughter. But when he refused because he didn't love her, the pharaoh had him executed."

"Bet she had one killer unibrow." Benny smirked. Him and Rory chuckled at the joke, while Ali and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes. Boys. Sarah turned around and smacked Benny in the chest. He recoiled in pain "Ow!" He hissed. He looked at me pleadingly and I smiled, rolling my eyes, and leaned over to kiss the spot Sarah had hit him.

"All better." I said, Benny's arm wrapping around my hips.

"According to these hieroglyphics," Mr. G said "he vowed to never enter the afterlife without his true love."

Rory sneered "Ew." but Ali started playing with his hair, distracting him.

"It's either that or cleaning instructions..." Mr. G said.

"Can I make a mummy for extra credit?" Rory asked excitedly.

Mr. G laughed awkwardly "That wouldn't be encouraged..."

"Yes!" Rory cheered quietly to Benny "That wasn't a no!"

"Well guys that was the end of the tour. But feel free to stick around for as long as you'd like." Mr. G dismissed us. The entire class except me, Benny, Ali, Ethan, Sarah, and Rory left "Or leave! That's okay too." Mr. G finished, leaving too after a moment.

We walked up to the mummy "He chose death over life without love. That is so romantic." Sarah sighed.

"I bet it was less romantic when they bottled up his organs." Ethan said, destroying the mood.

Benny rubbed his hands together "And if I'm lucky, one of these jars will have a pancreas." When we gave him a look to explain further, he said "I used up all my grandmas ancient pancreas for a potion. I need to top it off before she notices."

"Is that why you called me and asked if I had any ancient pancreas?" I questioned. He nodded and shrugged.

"Gross! What was it for?" Sarah asked, disgusted.

Benny hesitated "Wizard stuff...?" We all nodded slowly "You wouldn't understand!" He snapped "Cover me."

"Okay, just make it quick." Ethan said.

"Aria, help me!" Benny waved me over to his side. We started looking in the jars.

"You guys are asking for nothing but trouble. I am out of this!" Sarah walked off.

Ethan looked uncertain "Benny, maybe she's right. This is technically stealing."

"So? The museum stole it first!" Benny motioned to the mummy "You think Raggedy Andy asked them to read his tomb? Didn't think so!"

"I found it." I pointed to a jar.

"Trust me," Benny smirked "No one will miss this." He opened the jar and produced a plastic baggie from his backpack. He dumped the pancreas in the baggie. Instantly I shied away from it, the sight and smell disgusting me. Ethan did the same, leaving entirely. I grabbed Ali and we left as well, Rory and Benny following behind.

"What is the big deal? We collect weird stuff all the time!" Benny complained, walking into his house.

"Yeah, when we're fighting monsters. This time it's like, buying groceries." Sarah argued as Benny took out a jar of ancient pancreases.

"Come on, it's nothing like that." Ethan said. Sarah gave him a challenging look.

"Okay, so maybe it is! But everything worked out fine." I smiled, putting my bag over the back of a chair and sitting in it.

Right at that moment, a mummy burst through the door, groaning loudly. All four of us screamed and ran to the back of the room. Well, I tried at least. I jumped out of my chair, but my foot caught the chair leg and sent me to the floor. The mummy walked in but stopped and stumbled back like he was being pulled. This happened a second time until the mummy realized a piece of his wrapping was caught on something. He looked back but couldn't see it, so instead he tried to jump at Sarah, Ethan and Benny. He was again pulled back. This repeated, and the three screamed again. The mummy reached back and began tugging in his caught wrapping.

I stood, brushing off my pants "Okay, this is getting pathetic." I joined them at the wall.

"Yeah, that last one was a pity scream." Benny agreed.

"So what do we do?" Sarah asked.

Ethan thought fast and grabbed the mummy's pancreas from Benny, just when the mummy freed himself. Ethan waved the bag in front of the mummy "Here mummy, mummy! Is this what you want?" He asked like he was talking to a dog or a baby. He grabbed the closet door and opened it, throwing in the pancreas "Go get it!" As soon as the mummy was inside Ethan shut the door and locked it.

"Problem solved." Benny shrugged, smirking.

"Benny, we have to get that thing back to the museum." Ethan glared at him.

"Sounds fun!" Sarah cheered sarcastically "Or, I could go back to class and let you clean up your own mess!"

"There's a monster on the loose and you're not going to help us?" I asked.

"Monster?" Sarah rolled her eyes, walking to the closet and opening it. The mummy stumbled out, reaching for her "Ooh, the mummy's going to attack me." Sarah joked "I'm so scared. Have fun." She sped out and left.

Ethan pushed the mummy back into the closet and shut the door, pressing against it. Benny said "Great, what do we do now?"

"I don't know!" Ethan said worriedly.

"Get its pancreas back to the museum and let the mummy follow it back?" I suggested.

"That... could work, actually." Benny said.

A little over ten minutes after I left Benny's house to go back to school, my phone rang. "Hello?" I asked, answering.

"The mummy's gone." Benny said through the phone.

"What?! Benny, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything! But he ate some of grandma's freaky bio leftovers."

I groaned and asked in horror "How many of them can regenerate a mummy's body?"

"About ten of them."

"Fuck!" I cursed "Call Ethan, and we'll figure this out. Text me where to meet you guys."

We hung up and minutes later, Benny texted me to meet him and Ethan at school, outside the lounge. I ran to school and met up with them.

"Which one is he?" I asked, peering through the window.

"The guy talking to Sarah." Ethan said lamely.

"He's kind of hot..." I said absent-mindedly "Hey, are those your clothes?" I asked Benny.

"Yes! I can't believe he stole my clothes!" Benny complained "Who does that?"

"You stole the guy's pancreas." Ethan reminded him.

"It's not like he was using it." Benny argued.

Good point.

"Who's the new guy?" Erica asked. All three of us jumped and turned around to see Erica right behind us. "Cute." She admired.

Ethan scoffed "I guess, if you're into older... charming, handsome guys."

"Sarah is. She's flirting up a storm!" Erica smirked.

"Flirting? You think?" Ethan asked desperately, immediately looking out the window at Sarah.

"Wow, guys are so oblivious." Erica rolled her eyes "How do you deal with him?" She asked me.

I smirked "I trained him."

"Well, maybe, you know, he's just helping her with her Egypt homework." Ethan stammered.

"Dude. He's the mummy." Benny said. I froze and looked at Erica, whose smile slowly began to fade into a questioning glare "We kind of gave him a makeover." Benny explained.

"Really?" Erica gasped "Can you makeover one for me?"

"Well I don't see why not!" Benny smiled.

"Guys, we have to warn Sarah. This guy is clearly too old for her!" Ethan turned around to tell us.

"Oh come on, what's the rush? She's finally found a guy she likes, and if we tell her now, she'll pull a Sarah and freak out." Erica said.

"Yeah, I don't see the big deal." I agreed.

"No. I have to put a stop to this." Ethan said with finality. Erica, Benny and I watched him walk in and sit down at Sarah's table.

"This should be fun..." I murmured "Can you hear him?"

Erica shook her head "Not through the doors."

Ethan and Sarah got up and stood a bit farther away from the table and talked privately. Then the attractive mummy dude stood as well and gave Sarah a rose. They walked away arm in arm.

"Alright, let's go save this train wreck." I said pulling Benny through the doors.

"Pft, the guys only alive one day and he's already getting more ladies than you." Benny said walking up to Ethan.

"This is by far the worst monster we've ever faced." Ethan said.

"I'm assuming by the fact that Sarah walked out with him and didn't look totally disgusted that you didn't tell her that he is the mummy." I stared at him until he looked away awkwardly.

"No..." He sighed.

"So, you'll never believe this." Ali and I both said at the same time as we slid into our neighboring desks for English.

"What?" We both asked.

"You first."

"No, you first."

"No, you first!" This time it was only me speaking.

Ali gave me an innocent little smug smile and said "Well, if you insist." Her smile turned down and a weird look crossed over her face "Rory's been acting really weird since the museum trip. He keeps mummifying our snacks."

"That's weird. But that's Rory." I shrugged "I can top that. You know that mummy we saw at the museum? The dead prince?" Ali nodded "Well, we accidentally brought him back to life."

"No way!" Ali gasped excitedly.

"And he's in love with Sarah."

"No way!" She squealed.

"And she likes him back!"

"No FREAKING way!" Ali screamed.

"Yes way! Keep your voice down!"

"So, does Sarah know...?"

I shook my head "Nope. She said she doesn't want to get involved in any of the mummy stuff."

"If only she knew how involved she really was!" Ali crowed, getting a kick out of the drama. "How are you gonna get rid of the mummy?"

"I have no clue. Ethan and Benny are working on it right now."

Ali snorted "Oh great."

I walked over to Ethan's house after school. Benny texted me saying that he had a mummy revival spell that had a reversal spell, and it might work on Hottie. After a question mark was sent, Benny told me that Hottie was the name of the mummy. Hottie Ho-Tep. Interesting. I found that Ethan's front door was wide open and stepped inside, only to find two shirtless guys in Egyptian-looking skirts and spears in their hands. Hottie held a staff-thing in his hand that had a golden light coming out of it on to the two men in front of me, like a sheiks almost. Sarah stood behind Hottie and Ethan and Benny were hiding behind the couch. Then, the two Egyptian men disappeared in golden light and sand.

"Did I miss the party?" I asked, looked at everyone's shocked, dumbfound faces.

"Nice moves!" Sarah complimented Hottie.

"I was totally about to do that!" Ethan exclaimed, standing up from behind the couch. Benny stood as well and I went to his side.

"Our victory is short lived, but the guards will live again. I've merely sent them to their tombs, but they will not rest until I have returned home." Hottie told Sarah.

"So, you're the mummy?" Sarah asked.

"We tried to tell you." Ethan said earnestly.

Sarah whipped around, her eyes glowing yellow and dangerous "You knew about all of this?!" I shrugged and nodded. She growled and turned back around.

Hottie looked at Sarah softly "I wanted to tell you, but I feared my being an undead creature might scare you away. I see now you have secrets of your own." Sarah hid her fangs with her hand and Hottie stopped her "Don't. They're beautiful."

The two leaned in to kiss, much to our horror, but were stopped by a cat meowing. We all looked at Rory's cat, cleverly named Mr. Kitty, sitting on a nearby end table. Instantly, Hottie was down on one knee with his head bowed.

"What's the matter? You allergic?" I asked, looking at him weird.

"Cats are the guardians of the afterlife. This one speaks to me." Hottie explained, not daring to lift his head.

"Is it nap time?" Benny asked stupidly, smiling.

Hottie stood "In a manner of speaking. My apologies for bringing this trouble to your house." He apologized to Sarah "I must go."

"Wait, Hottie!" Sarah stopped him from running out the door. "Where are you going?"

"I have angered the gods by remaining on this earth. It's time I departed this world for the next." He said.

"But, we were just getting to know each other." I couldn't see it, but it sounded like Sarah had her flirty smile on.

"Sarah, these...large children... that you sit on," Hottie looked at Ethan, Benny, and I strangely "may have stolen my pancreas, but up have stolen my heart."

AWWW! That's actually kind of cute!

"If we meet again, we shall seal our fate in the stars." Hottie finished. Ethan pretended to gag next to Benny.

"Of course." Sarah said sweetly, watching Hottie leave.

Right when he left, Rory walked in. "Here Mr. Kitty, kitty!" He called to the cat. He greeted us "Hey guys, did I miss anything?"

"Can you believe that guy? Seal our fate in the stars. Really?" Ethan scoffed, walking into his room.

"I know, right? Sarah totally ate it up!" Benny laughed, following Ethan to his desk.

"I thought it was cute." I huffed, flopping onto Ethan's bed.

"You did?" Benny asked.

"Well, I bet he ripped it off from some corny, old, Egyptian pop song or something." Ethan complained.

"Dude let it go!" Benny moaned "Look, rotting Romeo is going back to Ragsville and for once, we don't have to do anything!"

Ethan nodded "Yeah, you're right. I promise, from now on, he is out of my mind."

"Oh thank goodness!" Benny leaned his head back. I stood and walked over, pressing an upside-down kiss to his lips.

"Aha! I got him!" Ethan exclaimed, pointing at his computer.

"Oh, for goodness sake." Benny and I both groaned. I planted my head into Benny's shoulder as he brought his up to look at Ethan.

"What?" Benny snapped at him.

"That fate in the stars line? He did steal it! I'm so telling Sarah." Ethan smirked.

"That won't make you look desperate." I mumbled.

Benny looked confused "Ancient Egypt had pop songs?"

"Well, not quite. It's from some ritual." Ethan scrolled down the screen "Uh-oh, it looks like he means to take Sarah into the underworld." That got me to look up.

"That club on Main Street? Lame." Benny said.

"The other underworld!" Ethan clarified hotly.

I was in my room when something tapped against my window. I looked out and saw my blonde friend crouching on the roof. "Hey Rory, what's up?" I asked, opening the window.

"Hey, Ethan and Benny told me to get you. Apparently if Sarah drinks this tea with the mummy, she'll go into the underworld." Rory said.

"That's rather vague and confusing." I shrugged "I'm in. Where are they?"

"Come on Rory, we don't have time!" Ethan's voice yelled from below.

I looked out to the ground "Are they in a shopping cart?"

"Yepp. Let's go!" Rory smiled.

"All right." I stepped through my window and hopped onto Rory's back, and he flew us down to the ground. "Howdy boys." I greeted. Benny sat in the cart and Ethan stood on the edge in front of him. I took my place behind Benny, standing on the edge as well and held on to the handle bar. Rory stood behind me, hands also on the handlebar, ready to push us.

"Full speed ahead!" I yelled, and we were off, flying down the streets.

We stopped short at the museum, Ethan almost flying off the front. I whooped "That was awesome!"

Benny climbed unsteadily out of the cart "I think I'm going to be Rory-sick." He moaned.

The two shirtless Egyptian guards came outside. "No one may disrupt Hottie Ho-Tep's journey into the underworld." The pale one said.

"Especially not Sarah's male friend who cannot take a hint." The tan one said.

"Ouch. Burn." I winced.

"Wha!" Ethan grumbled.

"Wait, wait, wait. So, first you're trying to take him out, and now you're chaperoning his date?" Benny asked "What gives?"

"It is a little weird." I agreed.

"It is our duty to make sure he returns to the underworld. He is doing so." The pale guard answered.

Rory stepped forward "I'll handle this." He said in a gruff voice. A cat meowed and he looked to the side. His face lit up "Mr. Kitty!" He exclaimed, running after the cat.

"Rory! Now is not the time!" Ethan yelled.

Rory stumbled back to us with the cat clawing at his face. Ethan, Benny, and I ran backwards across the street.

"Do either of you have a spell for this?!" Ethan asked Benny and me.

"Like what?" Benny snapped.

"Do something!" Ethan said.

"Uh, uh, running is something!" Benny offered.

"Guys! I got this." I smirked. The two guards who were advancing on us stopped in the middle of the street, staring at something. I waved my hands dramatically and a huge truck went by and ran them over, the two disappearing instantly in light and sand. "And that's how it's done." I smiled at the two boys staring in shock at what was left of the two guards, nothing but their shoes.

"We showed them." Benny said, popping his collar. I snorted and shook my head, pulling him and Ethan back to the museum.

"Sarah, no!" Ethan yelled as we skidded to a stop in front of the mummy exhibit in the museum.

"Seriously you guys?!" Sarah asked outraged, turning in her chair to glare at us.

"If you drink that tea, it's a one-way ticket to the underworld!" I warned her.

Sarah turned back to look at Hottie "Hottie, is that true?"

"My Sarah, earthly life is but a fleeting dream. A new life awaits." Hottie said.

Sarah stood, angry "Save it for the afterlife. We're done!"

Hottie grabbed her arm, stopping her from joining us "I will not just let you walk away from destiny."

"Hottie, you're cute. But you're not going to stay cute if you don't let me go!" Sarah threatened, hissing at him. She ripped her arm from his grasp and started to walk away, but Hottie held up his staff and stopped Sarah in place with his magic, golden light.

"Time to man up." Ethan said, raising his fists.

"Time to nut up or shut up." I quoted, getting into a fighting stance as well. Hottie shot a ball of magic at us, but it missed and hit something behind us instead.

Two golden beetles suddenly flew around us. The boys yelled and swung their arms, trying to escape the flying things. I, on the other hand, shrieked like a little girl and bolted across the room.

"EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!" I screeched, waving my hands wildly and hopping. One of the coffins next to me opened up, revealing a picturesque scene of warm sand and palm trees. I backed away, cringing.

"Hey, is this yours?" Ethan yelled to Hottie, holding a jar. He started shaking it roughly, and Hottie bent over, clutching his chest in pain.

"Stop, please. You're breaking my heart!" Hottie grunted.

"I'd say see you in the next life, but that's not gonna happen." Sarah said, and pushed Hottie into the decorated coffin. She shut it quickly and turned to face Ethan and Benny.

"That was a harsh breakup." Benny said.

I ran over and hugged him. "The bugs… They touched me!" I squeaked, spazzing out.

"Um, maybe we should go home." Benny said, looking down at me uncertainly.

*In case anyone couldn't put it together, supper ware is silverware. So like, forks and knives and spoons and stuff. At least I'm pretty sure Ethan said supper ware...

AN: So, I feel like this kind of sucked. I feel crappy 'cause I haven't really put in any cute or intense Baria moments. I guess I've just hit a little bit of writers block :/ My brain has been kind of obsessed with this My Soul To Take/A Nightmare on Elm Street fic I've been trying to work on. That and midterms were this week and I found out I'm failing two classes D: Gym (because I don't dress out) and English, but that's only because I went home sick one day and didn't get any of the work that we were supposed to do/turn in. And it was a friday, so I forgot all about it the next monday.

SO, anyone remember that modelling thing I was talking about last week? It went GREAT! That's right, your favorite author is now also a local model! YAY! I had my first photo shoot on monday and it went so amazing. I was like the last one to get their pictures taken but they friggen loved me. And this sunday (tomorrow) there's going to be a party for all the models and the studio is going to show off all the pictures they took. So WOOT WOOT!

Oh yeah I BOUGHT MY PROM DRESS! Who wants to go to prom with me? ;D

ANYHOO on to SHOUT OUTS! 'cause I've got A LOT this week!

elygeorge: When I was thinking about something that would truly scare Aria, the only thing I could think of was Benny not loving her anymore. She already went through it once, and I figured making her go through it again would just kill her. MWAHAHAHA I'M SO EVIL! I wanted to make a valentines chapter for Baria but I had no inspiration :(

Bethan Forever: Yeah, I could see Aria dressing up as Batgirl xD Or Catwoman. Be all sexy and stuff. AH I'M SO HAPPY YOU READ FLY NOW! It's actually a movie (MY FAVORITE MOVIE) and I love it when people tell me it's good 'cause only two people have reviewed it and I feel like nobody likes it xD The movie doesn't have very many fanfictions anyways, so its probably not very popular.

MeganRoseMaslow: I missed you! It's okay that you forget to review, I do that too on so many fanfics that I read xD BENNY LOVES HIS COOKIES!

MsWildfire97: Lucky! I wish I had midterm week off... School has kind of been a disaster since me and my ex-best friend stopped talking. But no way in hell am I apologizing to her first! So oh well... xD

xx2cute2b4gottenxx: You can be my story stalker, I don't mind xD AH! Fifty Shades of Grey is this very good but very inappropriate book trilogy that has been really popular right now. It's like, mommy porn in book form. But its really good. I read it! And don't believe what anyone tells you about it. IT IS NOT ALL KINKY SEX! It actually has a really good plotline and awesome characters. And kinky sex... The modeling thing was just local, for the town I live in and the towns around it. So like the whole county I guess. And then some. So there weren't any famous models there xD Hahaha see you next week!

Loueh Tomlegendson: YAY, FIRST TIME REVIEWER! You're never too late to review my stories :3 I'm just happy people review at all! Hahaha, I'm glad you like my fanfics!

Vs-for-life: OMG GUESS WHAT! I've finally started writing for our fanfic xD Better late than ever, right? I finally cracked down and started watching the movie again last night and it all just started coming to me. I was wondering though, would Terri having fire powers be weird? Idk, the idea just came to me randomly. Like, the human torch from fantastic four, but it doesn't have to go that far xD

mx2flip: That would actually be pretty good... I'll think about it ;)

TwistedTelepath: Look ,you got another shout-out! Yay! OMG A CUPCAKE! :D

SummerAngelz: Don't cry my dear! I gives you another shout-out! Omg I'm like the queen nerd at my school too! Mariokart is probably one of the only games I'm actually good at xD My nerdiness revolves around anime, superheroes, books, and cartoons xD OMG YAY QUESTIONS! I really freaking love answering questions! Okay:
Aria came to me while I was watching the episode Double Negative. I was watching Benny fight Evil Benny in the bathroom and I just started thinking "Evil Benny is really sexy... He deserves a smutty scene" So I started writing one out (the one used in my actual chapter) and then I just kind of started writing out the entire episode with Aria as Benny's girlfriend. And that is how DCMB started!
I think Benny kind of looks the same in season one and two, but Rory definitely looks sexier in season two. But I do love the many more shirtless scenes Benny has in season two... ;D
Benny knows how to pull off polo shirts ;D
It doesn't really bother me that Erica kissed Benny (cuz it was just a spell) But I DO NOT LIKE THEM AS A COUPLE! I honestly think that Rory and Erica would make a better couple. She actually kissed him willingly (it was to get him to shut up, BUT IT WAS STILL WILLINGLY)
I WILL SIGN YOUR PETITION!
Okay this shout out has become ridiculously long... Oh well xD

louisluv218: Yay, I feel accomplished being the only author on your favorites list! I'm going to start working on Aria's costume on Polyvore, 'cause that episode is coming up soon... YAY! I LOVE THAT EPISODE!

Holy flying fuck muffins, eleven shout-outs... I LOVE IT! You guys make me so happy :) Thank you all so much for sticking by me, even with my continuously late updates. You guys are the best *heart* Remember to review! I can't believe that I only have seven chapters out and almost 100 reviews already! Tell you what, if we reach 100 reviews, I'll do something special with Aria and Benny. I'm not sure what yet, but you guys can totally throw in ideas!

BTW, does anyone watch Yugioh The Abridged Series? If you ever watched Yugioh as a kid, go watch the abridged series. Its made by this guy, LittleKuriboh, on Youtube. You can find all the episodes and more on his Youtube account CardGamesFTW. Go watch it, its fricking hilarious!

All my love to my super special awesome readers!
