Sora and Clawdeen

"Ouch!" Sora lets out as he is poked.

"It would hurt less if you'd stop moving," Clawdeen lets out a small growl as she continues adjusting the jacket on the normie.

"I can't help it. I'm made to be active and moving."

"Can't see how you can bee so active when you're always sleeping," the ghoul comments.

"I'm not always sleeping!"

"Then how come you're late to school almost every day?" she eyes him with a smirk.

The boy slouches, "Because I oversleep. Ouch!" he is then poked again.

"How do you oversleep anyway?" Clawdeen asks as she checks the measurements around the boy's clothes. "You live with the Headmistress. Isn't she supposed to be at the school early?"

"Well…" Sora chuckles. "She does wake me before leaving. But I tend to doze off as I think I still had plenty of time."

"There!" the werewolf announces as she straightens up. "All done!"

Sora goes over a nearby mirror to view himself. The boy is now wearing a new outfit that resembles his previous one. With the difference being that all the red has been replaced with purple. Turning around, the Keybearer spots something new. "What's this?" on the back of his jacket there's a purple pawprint.

"Just a little bit of my own signature," the ghoul boasts. "As tacky as you insist I make it, I still need everyone to know that your new fierce style is my handiwork."

The boy examines the pawprint further. "Feels like you're trying to mark me as yours. If people had doubts that we're actually dating, this might calm them down."

"Yeah," Clawdeen bites her lower lip and rubs her arm. "Perhaps that's what I'm trying to do."

"Huh?" the boy turns to her.

"Sora, I…" the ghoul looks away. "You remember why we started this whole fake dating thing?"

The spiky haired kid nods, "Of course. The ghouls started hounding you for being the only one who's single."

"Yeah and I had enough, so I went to one of the few single guys in school that I knew so my friends will get off my back."

"Too bad it turns out you're not Hoodude's type. Ouch!" the boy finds himself poked by the needle again.

The ghoul glares at him as she snaps. "I told you to never bring that up again!"

Sora rubs the sore spot on his shoulder, "Sorry."

"How was I supposed to know he and Elissabat had started a long-distance relationship?"

"Yeah. That was a surprise to everyone," he nods.

"Anyway! Before that, I never thought much about dating," Clawdeen shrugs. "Yeah, there were a couple cute guys that I was attracted to. But I was too into my designs. Didn't want anything that could distract me from my career. I know that we've only been together for a month, and we've gone out only a few times, but I really like you. Not just as a friend doing a favor for a friend."

The Normie tilts his head. "Clawdeen, what are you saying?"

Taking a deep breath, the ghoul finally tells him. "I'm saying that no matter how distracting it may be, I want to actually date you. For real this time," her face starts reddening.

Sora looks down with arms crossed as he face contorts while thinking. "So, what do I need to do?"

Clawdeen blinks at that, "What?"

He smiles, "You've been leading me through what to do with the fake dating. I figured you'd want to lead me through the real dating. Is there a Fiercebook status update or something? You know, like Not Fake Dating, Real Dating."

The wolf ghoul deadpans. "I can't tell if your serious, or making fun of me."

"I'm serious?" Sora laughs. "I like you to Clawdeen. You're a strong, fierce ghoul who always knows exactly what she wants. I'd love to go out with you for real."

Clawdeen blushes. "Well, we probably shouldn't mess with our profile status. I'd rather the ghouls not find out that everything has been fake up until now," she says hopefully while reaching for the boy's hand. Which, Sora happily accepts. "So. Where are you going to take me out for our real date?"

"I have no idea," the Normie smiles. "You've been calling all the shots in the fake relationship. Didn't think that would change."

"That's because I wanted to keep up appearances and did not want you to screw up," she accuses with a smirk.

"Okay then," the boy's face contorts in thought. "Um…. There's that new TwiHard boovie. We could go this weekend."

"Not this weekend. I gotta deliver some commissions then. How about tonight?"

"Sure! I just need to let Bloodgood know," the two then holds hands as they head for the door. "You know what the biggest advantage of dating the fiercest ghoul?"

"Is it my style?" she flips her hair. "Or how about the fact that when you manage to tear your jacket, I can fix it?"

"Actually, It's been a pretty good excuse to get Amanita off my back. Ouch!" he shouts as he gets poked by that darn needle. "You're going to keep that with you, aren't you?" he asks while opening the door to let his now official ghoulfriend out first.

"Gotta keep you in line somehow," the ghoul smirks while waving the needle and the two finally leave the room.

Unbeknownst to them, Toralei was standing behind the door. "Clawdeen has a secret," ghoul said in a singsong voice. The werecat holds up her iCoffin revealing that it was set to record. With a grin, she dials up a certain plant ghoul. "Hey, Amanita. Remember when you told me that you had eyes on that Normie?... Not Jackson! The other one. Sora!"

End

NOTE: Clawdeen was actually a request by a Guest Reviewer. The only reason I haven't done this ghoul until now was due to having trouble coming up with a good scenario for her. I'm having similar problems with Lagoona, Draculaura, and a few other ghouls. However, it was the same for Cleo, but I got passed that. Perhaps I'll get to them one day.
