I really wish I chose a better title for this but meh too late to change it now. So I'm taking part of Ethara week because it's been a while since I've posted and 2 I really enjoyed doing prompt fic's after my Venkota story Heart Crossed Lover's so I figured I would do the same here. Hope you guys enjoy because this is the only chapter, I wrote I've been struggling with writing motivation lately good chance this story won't be finished until months later. Oh well at least I did something.
And yes Mabel, Rory, and Dakota will be a background relationship for this fic I really can't write and mbav fic without them. Don't worry fam Dakota and Mabel are 14 enjoy the story.

"They're not dolls; they're action figures." Ethan defended himself as he showed Sarah his collection. It was a mondain evening in the Morgen household; Jane was at her friend's house for a sleepover, and Mrs. Weir was teaching Benny more advanced spells, leaving Ethan alone. With no one else to hang out with on this strangely calm evening, Ethan called Sarah, hoping she was free. And she was. Erica ditched her for some guy they met at the mall, and being alone just wasn't appealing to her at the moment, so Sarah was grateful for Ethan's invitation.

There really wasn't a reason for her to be there since she wouldn't be babysitting that week, but Ethan was one of her best friends. It's not like either of them have many to turn to. Ethan being a social outcast and Sarah being a creature of the night makes it difficult to fit in with humans. At least Ethan and Dakota's group understand what she's going through. If she was being honest with herself, it was nice getting to know Ethan better considering they rarely get a moment of peace in this town. She didn't even know how it happened. One moment they were chatting in the living room, the next they were heading upstairs to Ethan's room to show her his doll- ahem, action figure collection.

"And this is a limited-edition Galaxia figure I got at Comic Con back in 08. I saved up my allowance for nearly a whole year to buy it."

"So, was it as expensive as the moon rocks you got or less then?" Emily pipped up who was sitting on the bed. She tagged along because Dakota and Mabel were on a date with Rory, so the young angel had nothing better to do besides tease the two relentlessly.

"Ummm." He hummed, "Actually, I think it was about the same price."

"Wow, talk about getting bang for your buck." Sarah laughed. It was cute seeing how passionate Ethan was about his collection, it reminded her of her own Dusk collection, which she and Erica used to spend years on. That was until she fell out of love with the series after the whole Jesse fiasco; she really couldn't find it in herself to even look at a vampire romance novel anymore, let alone waste money on merchandise.

Gazing her eyes on the figurines from various franchises, Sarah's eyes widened as she spotted a figure, she recognized.

"They made a Doug Falconhawk figure." She asked, picking the figure up careful not to break it. "I thought his show wasn't popular enough."

"Oh no, I made that myself using broken figures I had lying around. He's got Wolverine's groin, but no figure had his iconic hair, so I sculpted that myself."

"That's not sculpted, dude." Emily interrupted, "Sculpted hair is sculpted onto the model like precious moments or plastic toys that don't have real hair. What you have is rooted hair, which is most common with Barbie dolls and their many rip-offs."

"Huh, I didn't know there was a difference."

"Honestly, neither did I. Dakota and I were never big doll people, I wouldn't have known the difference if it wasn't for Rory and his hobby of digging up obscure and useless knowledge. Speaking of which, did Benny or Rory ever contribute to your collection?"

"Actually, they did." He smiled, grabbing a few figures off the shelf. "Benny got me this Stormtrooper figure shortly before the new Star Wars movie came out. He went to five stores and nearly had to order it on Amazon, but he managed to get the last one at a Hot Topic. I have no idea why it was there, but it meant a lot to me. And this figure Rory gave me for my 12th birthday He had a double at home and thought it'd be a good gift. I can't say I'm as big of a fan of the show as he is, but it still looks pretty good. At the time, I thought about giving it back, but Mom said that'd make me look ungrateful, and again, he already had the same figure, so I just kept it. He was really happy to see it on my shelf."

"Wow, Eth, I gotta admit, this is quite the collection you've got here." Emily admired,

"I haven't even shown you the best part." He smiled extremely pleased, Sarah and Emily were impressed, as he pulled down a prototype robot that was still in its box.

"This is Robot Robert; this was a prototype I bought on E-bay at a pretty fair price. He was a part of a cancelled toy line from a children's cartoon I loved as a kid." The seer explained excitedly, "I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few people in the world that have it. I'm thinking of reselling it in a few years when its value goes up. This is one lost media the community would go crazy for. I can see the YouTube videos on it now."

"That's really cute." Sarah giggled, "It gives your room a personal touch; I like it."

"Thanks, I enjoyed showing it to you." He grinned shyly, feeling a little embarrassed that he had rambled about his nerdy doll collection for over twenty minutes.

"Um, I hate to interrupt this relaxing showcase, but we've got to go." Emily said in alarm,

"What why?" Sarah asked, having a feeling it was supernatural related,

"I just got a text from Dakota; some slime monster crashed her date and is wreaking havoc downtown."

"Ugh, I knew there was something off about those chemistry class majors." Sarah groaned,

"We need to go now. Emily, get your group together and try to save as many people as you can. Sarah and I will grab Benny."

"I'm on it." She understood flying out the window.

"I'll grab my jacket."

"Wait, hold on." Ethan said, grabbing Sarah's wrist,

"What?"

"Well, what did you think? I know it might not be your thing, but did you at least enjoy my rambling?"

"Oh Ethan… I love it, it's so you. Really, I think it's cute that you're so passionate about this stuff."

"Thanks, that means a ton coming from you. You know, maybe one day I can see your Dusk collection."

"You'd be interested in that?"

"Well, not one-hundred present. But I showed you my stuff, so fair is fair."

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I'll see what I can do." She winked as Ethan chuckled.

"Hey guys." Emily said, knocking on the window, "I know you two want to do this kissy moment, but could you do it later and when you're covered in slime?" It will have a way bigger impact. Oh, and also, the monster has grown in size and is coming this way. So, unless you want this town knee-deep in green slime or, ya know get eaten, I suggest you get a move on. Just a thought." She suggested and flew away.

The two nodded and hurriedly grabbed their things, but there was a promise that they'd show each other their growing collection again very soon.
