"Valon, what the hell are you watching?" Alister asked, coming from upstairs and into the living room.

"A movie 'bout vampires," he said, reaching into the bowl of popcorn that was currently on Ember's lap. "We've watched the prequel already."

"And why is she still here?"

"Free country, girly man," she replied, eating a handful of popcorn. Alister merely scowled and stormed off into the kitchen; just as he vanished Skye walked through the front door, having returned from another walk with Jasper.

When her eyes landed on the television her eyes widened in horror."My eyes! They bleeeeeed!" she screamed, shielding her eyes as Jasper ran into the kitchen with his leash following behind.

"What's going on?" Raphael asked, coming down the stairs in sweat pants and a tank top. "Why is Skye screaming?"

"They're watching New Moon. The only movie that's worse than that one was the one that came before it!" she groaned, not removing her hands from her face in an attempt to block the movie from her sight. This, unfortunately, resulted in her walking straight into a wall when she tried to leave the room.

"Would you relax, Skye? It's almost over with," Ember retorted, throwing a pillow at the fallen girl.

"Thank God. What would possess you to do this?" she asked, shaking her head and opening her eyes.

"We watch it to make fun of it," came the distracted reply.

Skye shook her head, deciding it was best that she did not know what sort of logic went through Ember's and Valon's minds. A shadow fell over her and she looked up to find that Raphael was offering her his hand to help her up. "Thanks," she said gratefully, accepting his offer.

He smiled in response and gently tugged her to her feet. "You're welcome."

"It's a crappy series, but you have to admit that Taylor Lautner is smoking hot!" Ember squealed. "He's so yummy!"

Valon looked at the girl, back to the screen where a shirtless guy was currently standing, and then mumbled something about needing to hit the gym more.

"Hows that gift hunting going, Raphael?" Alister asked, coming out of the kitchen.

"It's going well, Alister," Raphael replied grudgingly, not wanting to talk about the subject in front of Skye (who was sitting on the sofa beside him rubbing her head). When Alister made eye contact with him, he shot him an irritated look.

The redhead pointedly ignored it as he looked at the television, a curious expression flickering on his face. "Isn't this the series that has the sparkling fairies?"

"No. That's would be that stupid Tinkerbell show," Ember retorted.

"I know that, idget. Is this the series with the emo Twinkle-Twinkle vampire rejects in it?"

"Oh. Yeah, tha's it. Why're ya callin' 'em that, though? They're vampires t' me."

"You'd be wrong," said Skye bluntly. "Vampires sleep during the day, one. Two, even if they did go out into the sunlight you'd need to go get an ash tray; they turn to dust if exposed to even the tiniest bit of sunlight. Finally, they most definitely don't drink animal blood."

Valon tilted his head curiously. "Wha' makes you so sure?"

"Because I'm one," Skye announced, smiling and revealing her suddenly-sharp canines.

Valon did a double take and then screamed, bolting out of the room and stumbling up the stairs in a panicked run. Skye giggled, reaching up to her mouth and pulling a weird contraption from behind her teeth. "I knew these spring-loaded fangs would come in handy one day," she laughed, setting them down on the table.

Raphael shook his head, looking over at where Valon was peering uncertainly from behind the doorframe. "She was just kidding, Valon. She's not really a vampire."

"I knew that," Valon muttered under his breath, coming back down the stairs and sitting next to Ember once again. He glanced over at Alister and frowned. "Y'know wha' I just realized?"

"What?"

"Ember's right. Alister could pass off as one o' those vampires."

Alister bristled when everyone around him nodded in agreement, his eyes narrowing when a few laughs started going around. "I do not look like one of them."

"Keep telling yourself that, girly man," said Ember with a shrug, looking unconvinced.


Short? Yes. Is Kok the best...HECK YES! 3
