"Think about it guys! Anything we want. Cash. Cars. Candy..." Benny said, drifting off into his thoughts.

Ethan glanced at his cousin Serena and asked playfully, "So you only use magic spells for stuff that starts with 'c'?"

Benny ignored him and continued, "Once we were lowly high school noobs. Now we're vampire killing, spell-casting rock stars! The world is our oyster."

Serena raised her hand lightly and corrected, "Correction, I'm a monster hunter."

"Have you ever actually had oysters? Not something you want to swallow, more like something you'd cough up. Yeah, nice. Also Serena, there's no difference between the two really." Ethan said as Benny and Serena cringed.

"Nice image to start the day." Benny said before glancing at a beautiful blonde girl down the hall from the three, "There's the image I need!"

Serena laughed, "Wait a second...you have a crush on a blonde bimbo." She looked up to the sky and said while on her heart was her right hand, "No offense blond- I mean Jackson."

Ethan waved her off, "I'm sure whoever Jackson is will forgive you for calling this blonde bimbo a blond bimbo. I on the other hand will make sure Erica doesn't hear you."

"I know you're the 'see-er' and all, but I can see her with me."

Ethan scoffed, "Keep the magic on the down low remember? Life just got back to normal."

Benny shook him off, "Would you relax? I got this."

Once he was gone with a magically made bouquet of flowers in his hand, Serena leaned in towards Ethan and asked, "So what is the worse scenario that could happen?"

"She says something, he gets an idea, huge problem emerges, and eventually she'll avoid him for a couple of months till she feels insecure and let's him talk to her again." Ethan answered as Sarah made her way over to the two.

"Can I talk to you two?" Sarah asked as they both looked her way.

Etham stuffed his hands in his pockets and greeted, "Hey, how goes it? What's new?"

Sarah bit her lip, "Can I borrow $20, friends? It's for a good cause."

"$20? Like now? Um-"

Benny came back happily and cut him off, "Awesome news! Della's dog died!"

"And that's good news?" Sarah asked bewildered.

Benny rolled his eyes, "Yeah."

Serena looked behind him to see the girl crying and said sarcastically, "Using a girl's vulnerability to get her to go out with you. Nice."

"Gotta go." Sarah giggled a little before walking away.

Once she was gone, Benny continued, "She said she loved my flowers. And then she said she'd do anything to bring her dog back. Anything! What if somebody magically brought her dog back? Can you guys imagine how grateful she'd be?"

And that's when Ethan caught on what his friend was suggesting and begged, "No! No, Benny! You cannot bring her dead dog back to life!"

"Won't know until we try, right?"

Serena rolled her eyes and smacked him upside the head while saying, "Idiot! That move screams that your desprate. Also, it's creepy."

Benny rubbed his head tenderly as he glared at the girl before saying harshly, "Sometimes I wonder if you're really related to Ethan."

"Hey Scrapper! How's Canada?" Asked Jean as Serena and her Skyped.

Serena shrugged and answered, "Pretty boring actually. But nothing has changed I can tell you that."

Jean smirked, "Let me guess, Ethan is a Ted and Benny's a Swarly of some sort."

Serena laughed, "Nah, Benny's more of a Marshall trying to find his Lillypad."

"We miss you back here in L.A."

Serena smiles softly, "I miss ya too up here in the great white north but you know I can't leave. I have a-"

"-You made a promise with your mother that once Ethan finds out what he is, it's your job to give him a helping hand...even if it means leaving your amazing, crazy, yet still safe life of yours." Jean cut her off giving her one of those 'I know everything' smiles.

Serena shook her head while taking a sip o her water, "You're to egocentric for your own good."

Jean smirked again, "That's why you love me."

Serena looked at her photo of Jean and her back in the 6th grade wearing silly party clothes covered in confetti while having their arms around each other. She gave Jean a small smile while picking up the photo and saying distractedly, "That's one of many."

"So how was L.A?" Serena's cousin asked as they sat in front of playing video games on his computer. She shrugged and answered, "Eh, it was ok. There were alot of weird people, great food but terrible customer service-"

"Sounds terrible." Ethan cut her off while moving to the right as if the character in the game would do the same.

Serena shrugged, "It sounds bad but eventually when you meet the right people it seems like an adventure. Also if you go to the right places you get to see famous people, mostly at the mall, being total slobs which makes up for everything. Don't ask why, it just does."

The were quiet for a few minutes before Ethan looked down at his phone and groaned. Serena looked up at him and asked, "Hey, what's up?"

"Benny just texted. He needs me to meet him outside."

"Alright, I'm comin'. When Benny needs something, it's usually a bad idea." She said standing up out of her chair while turning off her console, "Let's go greet your boyfriend."

Ethan rolled his eyes at her as they made their way downstairs in their pj's. Before exiting the door, Ethan stopped her and suggested, "Serena, not to be rude or anything but you should change."

Serena looked down at herself and noticed she was wearing a blue tank and green shorts. She shrugged, "Eh. Benny's practically seen me in a bikini. A shirt and shorts is nothin'."

"Your too lazy to change aren't you?"

"Yep."

"Hey! I got your text. What's up?" Ethan greeted as the two made there way towards the curly haired guy on a bike.

He stopped abruptly in front of them and took out three colorful bottles towards Ethan, "I took these from Grandma's secret shelf."

"How do you know which vial has the potion to bring a dog back?" Serena asked taking the viles from him.

Benny sheepishly answered her, "I thought that maybe Ethan might use a vision to see which one is the 'bring-back-to-life juice'?"They both groaned as Benny continued, "Come on, E! Help reunite a fair maiden with her beloved pet. One touch."

Ethan glanced at Serena who shook her head. He shrugged in response as if to say 'He's my best friend'.

"Okay."

"Yes!" Benny cheered before relaxing and instructing him, "Okay now, focus."

Ethan took the viles from Serena and suddenly his eyes turned white. It was a moment before he returned back into reality and said holding onto the viles, "This: Angry birds."

Benny took the vile from him, "Right on."

"This one: Gross hair on your fingernails."

"Cool."

"This...this one's it. But-" Benny grabbed the vile excitedly and cut him off, "Sweet! Della's dead dog thanks you. Wish me luck: I have a long road ahead. And a pooch to summon from the dead. Engage!"

Ethan tried to stop him, "Benny! Benny! Wait! Benn-Ugh!"

Serena raised an eyebrow at him amused as he glared at her and mumbled, "Just shut up."

"Boo!" A sudden voice yelled making Ethan scream. Serena automatically went into fighting stance but both relaxed when they saw Rory standing there dumbfounded.

Ethan rolled his eyes and yelled, "Don't do that!"

Serena smacked Rory's shoulder, "Seriously girly. What was that?"

Rory ignored their startled yells and said happily, "I was working on my Ninja skills. Check out my new card."

He handed them both a small black card that Serena immediately returned.

"What's that mean?"

"Rory! Vampire Ninja."

Ethan groaned, "Ugh! Look, Benny's gone to Della's, and I don't know where she lives. Do you?"

Rory thought for a moment, "No. But I know a sure way to find out," He grabbed onto Ethan and yelled, "Air Rory!" Before taking off.

Serena laughed and yelled, "Good luck finding your boyfriend!" Before making her way back into the Morgan household.

"Look who's back from their dat-oh my god. Is that Puffles?" Serena cooed as Ethan snuck the dog into his room. He nodded as Serena took the dog from him cooing softly.

"That's adorable." Ethan said as he moved a couple of blankets to the closet where Puffles would be staying.

Serena didn't look at him but asked while tapping Puffles nose, "What is it?"

Ethan scoffed, "You acting like a little kid on Christmas."

She stopped her movements and glared at him, "Shut up. I do not." Setting the dog down she began to walk out the door till he said, "Hey, it's normal."

Serena rolled her eyes and slammed the door on him making him jump.

"Man, I'm telling you, this feels wrong. That dog isn't just undead. He's evil! He tried to eat my hand this morning." Ethan said to Benny as they arrived to school. Serena followed behind on the phone, giggling to what the other person said.

"Why? Didn't you feed him?"

"No. Sorry, I didn't have any Dead Dog Chow lying around!" Ethan yelled walking a safe distance away from Benny.

Once Benny caught sight of Della, he said excitedly, "There's Della! When she sees Puffles, she will be all over me! Wish me luck."

"Hey Ethan, see ya later." Serena said, making her way down the hall. He waved in return before Sarah caught him into conversation. Serena kept giggling down the hall to what Jackson was saying on the other side, unbeknownst to her that a small chihuahua krept up behind her or an announcement being made. All she knew was that Jackson was talking to her for the first time in a while and she felt really happy.

"Wow, I didn't know that." Serena said sarcastically and she could practically hear him rolling his eyes right now.

"Shut up Scraper. Your just saying that to make me feel better. Anyway how's-"

Out of nowhere, Benny grabbed her cell phone (how in the world did he get here?) And said quickly in a high pitched girly voice, "Hey, how's life? You've slept with three girls last night? Fascinating. Well my boyfriend and I gotta go. See-ya!" Before hanging up and running down the hall with an annoyed Serena in tow.

"Is it me or did that chipmunk look about ready to eat our eyeballs?" Benny said once they slammed the door shut. Serena leaned against the doorframe closing her eyes and trying to not go into panic mode.

"I think it's time we called in a little magical backup." Serena suggested before falling to the ground. The two didn't even notice.

"What? N-no! If Grandma finds out, who knows what she'll do to me? Listen, if the potion did cause this, then it'll probably just run out of gas. I'm sure the worst is over."

"This is a special news bulletin. All over Whitechapel, reports are coming in of bizarre small animal attacks." The news reporter had said before a small turtle bit him in the eye shocking the two teens.

Recognizing the turtle, Ethan yelled, "That's Tiberius!"

"No!"

"Yeah!"

"But that's crazy. He ran away when you were, like, 8." Benny tried to reassure him.

Serena was still on the ground when she noticed Mrs. Weir holding a bottle of the potion in front of the dumb witted best friends.

"We need have to talk with your grandma! Now!"

Benny shook his head and suggested, "C-couldn't we just email her? I mean-Ah! Hi, Grandma!"

His grandmother smirked, "Something you twits want to tell me?" And soon they confessed everything to her but once it was over, Ethan asked, "Hey, what is Serena doing on the floor?"

Mrs. Wier frowned and lifted her up as Serena closed her eyes and shook slightly. Evelyn looked at the two and ordered, "Get me a couple of blankets and some tea. Hurry!"

She set her down as the boys rushed to do as they were told and began to tell her soothing things. When the boys returned, they noticed how relaxed she looked. Benny mainly noticed how fragile and small she seemed under the pile of blankets his grandmother placed.

"What's wrong with her?" Benny asked as he sat besides her. His grandmother sighed.

"Nothings wrong with her. She's just under shock."

Ethan became confused, "She's a monster hunter, how can she go into shock?"

Benny's grandmother looked up to face him with an amused expression and responded, "You really don't know much about monster hunters do you? They hunt solid figures of human fear and cage them. Not slay vampires or fight demons. When a monster hunter experience even a sliver of fear, they have small ways to fight it off. Like talking to themselves, sing, draw, punch things, but when they experience a whole ton of fear, that's where it gets complicated.

"What you just saw was called a lock down. When Serena felt vulnerable, her fears became stronger and soon the fear became so overwhelming making herself shrink down as if going into lock down mode. She'll be ok but right now she needs to relax before those demons come back and scare her again."

They stayed silent for a moment before Evelyn began to drag the two out of the house, leaving Serena home alone for a couple of hours.

"Come in!"

"Hey Serena. You feeling better?" Ethan asked as he stepped into Serena's temporary bedroom that was right next door to his sister Jane's bedroom. Serena spun around to reveal herself wearing a beautiful green summer dress, black flats, and her hair was held up in a beautiful summer updo.

Serena placed a hand on her hips and said amused, "A vest. Seriously Ethan."

He shrugged, "What? I think it looks good. Come on. Let's go downstairs."

Serena did a double take at the brunette teen wearing a waitress outfit. Ethan having the same question asked, "Sarah! What are you doing here? What's with the waiter outfit?"

Sarah responded, "Your mom called me in a panic. And she offered double my babysitting rate," she paused for a moment before teasing Ethan, "Totally rockin' the sweater vest, Mister. Stylish, yet stupid."

Ethan laughed mockingly and teased back, "Fine, but there goes your tip."

Serena raised an eyebrow at the two of them subtle flirting and found it cute that Ethan and Sarah had hit it off. Suddenly someone said walking through the back door, "All right, we are locked and loaded with anti-potion. And Rory's on his way."

"When he leads the critters back, we'll take position in your backyard and let 'em have it."

Not taking more of it, Serena walked outside cautiously holding onto her electric gun she held onto from home in case of emergencies. Biting her lip, she made her way around the corner of the house before a thump was heard above her and rolled down to the side of the house to where she was at. Serena looked down onto the ground and bent over to get a better look at it when Rory suddenly whistled, and loudly.

She spun around and pointed the gun at him before relaxing and yelled, "Rory. What the hell was that?"

Rory had a weird happy smile on his face and responded, "I just had a clear view of your butt."

She was confused for a moment till she remembered she was wearing a dress. A pretty short one at that and Rory saw everything up there as clear as day. Serena growled before pointing the gun back up to his head.

Taking the message, Rory rapidly made his way inside panicked as Serena followed. Gun in tow.

Once they were inside, Serena heard someone playing the flute and Benny asking bewildered, "Rory, what'd you do?"

Ethan asked as well, "How come I can still hear the music?"

Rory had simply answered, "I had an inspiration! Why shred my primo lips when I could just record the tune and play it back on a loop? No flute required!"

"So where's the player?"

"I landed on the roof to look for you guys, and then I saw Serena outside bent over looking at something, and I had a clear view of everything but I was to distracted to notice that a squirl had attacked me making the recording kinda fall down the chimney."

Benny glared at him and growled, "You saw up Serena's dress?"

Ethan ignored him, "You dropped it down the chimney?"

Rory raised his arms up in surrender, "Hey, relax. I know a way to get it back. When Santa comes-"

Serena slammed the door shut and yelled agitated, "Rory, shut up! You know the rules about plans involving Santa!"

"So now that music's in the house, which means-" he was cut off by a girl screaming. Serena was to angry to care about the blonde bimbo getting bitten. She just wanted to slap Rory silly for being such a jack about the whole encounter.

"Okay, we have to keep it down!"

"It's like Snow White and her little forest friends. The evil undead! Ha-ha!" Benny joked killing some of the animals who were in the kitchen. He tossed a gun to Serena and yelled, "That gun you have isn't going to work with them!"

Listening to him, she continued to squirt the brew at them, cringing whenever they turned to ashes. After about a good 30 minutes of killing demons and trying to explain to Della about what had happened, Serena made it to her room after a good shower.

"Wow, that's bad," Jean cringed as Serena told her about her fears getting the best of her.

"I know. It was like I didn't have any control. It felt so overwhelming and terrifying. "

Jean rolled her eyes, "That's kind of what fear is silly. Hey, just don't worry about it too much. Everyone gets scared once in a while. It's normal. Gotta go. Night."

And suddenly the console was off.

"I should have known Tiberius never ran away. When he died, my folks buried him in the field where I found him, behind Della's place. Speaking of which, have you talked to Della?" Ethan asked the two glanced back to see Della run from Benny.

"Our courtship is on hold. At least until she gets out of counseling."

"What about Grandma? Did she think of a punishment?"

Unbeknowist to what she did, Sarah cut Benny off, driving by in a beautiful antique car and said happily, "Tada! Guess who finally got their license? And my aunt gave me her old car. The hard part was saving up enough for insurance. But your dad gave me a great deal."

Ethan smiled, "Yeah. He's the best."

A strong wind was felt and suddenly Rory was infront of the car with Serena in his arms, bridal style.

"Boo!" Rory yelled as he let Serena go.

"Rory, this Vampire Ninja stuff has to stop, or-" Ethan noticed that he had left and growled annoyed.

Serena took off one of the leaves in her hair and threatened, "One of these days, I'm gonna kill him...again."

Ethan raised an eyebrow at her, "Why was he carrying you like that anyway?"

Serena laughed sarcastically and responded, "Oh, he said he needed to learn how to pick up chicks...literally."

Benny told them all cautiously, "Creepy. Let's just get outta here before he comes back." Before pushing everyone in the antique looking car.
