"Hey baby freshman, it's nap time!" Erica grinned, admiring her small group of new girl freshman sun baby outfits.
The girls awkwardly tried to lie down on the floor.
"That was pathetic! Wake up!"
The girls got up again.
"Nice jacket." Sarah said to Erica.
"Nap time! Thanks, picked it up last night at dinner."
Olivia raised an eyebrow.
"Relax, I didn't drain her, you're such a square."
"Excuse me, your highness, can I please go to the bathroom?" One of the girls asked.
"Sure - that's what the diaper's for!" Erica smiled.
"Huh?" All the girls stood up.
"Hey, derfnerders, did I say you could get up? 100 jumping jacks!" She ordered.
"You could be just a little bit nicer." Olivia whispered.
"Of course you can go!" Sarah said to the girl. "Oh, thank you!"
"Please, our seniors did it to us and one day these little noobs will abuse their freshmen, it's the circle of life." Erica responded.
"I just think you could be a little bit-" Sarah stopped once everyone heard a farting noise.
"Was that a-" Olivia began.
"Sh! Yes, it was! I've been volunteering at the blood bank it's like an all you can drink buffet."
"What?!" Olivia and Erica asked.
"How much did you drink?"
"I don't know, like, 6 pints."
Olivia's eyes widened. "Six?!"
"Sarah, anything more than a pint every few days can make you nautious and-"
Sarah farted again.
"Wow! That one had some base in it!"
Everyone around them held their noses and began to complain.
"Omg, this is so humiliating!" Sarah yelled, walking off.
"What are you looking at?!" Erica shouted at the girls. "Nap time!" The girls lied down. "Good babies." She grinned, pulling out her phone and taking a picture of them. Olivia laughed. "Aren't you nice?"

"I'm taking it Home Ec didn't go too well?" Olivia asked, just looking at the expression on Benny's face.
"Olivia, somethings not right." Ethan said to her.
Olivia laughed. "Nothing's ever right in WhiteChapel."
"Why won't she just shave that one hair off her chin." Benny scowled.
"Whatever it was, it wasn't friendly." Ethan said.
"No, it just points right at you, no matter where you stand." Benny continued, using his finger and putting it to his chin, pretending it was a single bit of hair.
"We need to find Sarah." Ethan said, suddenly changing directions.
"I think I might know where she is." Olivia said, leading them to the girl's bathroom.


Sarah suddenly ran out, crashing into Ethan. "Omg, you scared me!" Sarah yelled. "Look, we need to talk."
"No, we need to talk." Benny said.
"We're the same we's, you idiot." Olivia laughed.
"What is it?" Ethan asked Sarah.
"Something terrible just happened with Kate in the bathroom, it's like something came-"
"Through the pipes." Ethan finished. "I think whatever it was, came to the Home Ec room looking for desserts."
The bell then rang.
"I found this," Sarah said, holding up what looked like a tooth of some animal. "instead of Kate."
"We need to go where the pipes go." Olivia said. Ethan nodded and took hold of Sarah's arm. "Come on."


"Maybe there's a reason the basements off limits." Benny said, trying to find an excuse to get out of here.
The four then heard a crash, causing Benny to jump behind Olivia. The lights then began to flicker and this time Benny took hold of Olivia.
"Whatever it is must've hit a power line or something." Ethan said, taking out some torches, handing one to Benny.
"I don't like this." Sarah said.
"Let's go." Olivia said to Ethan, stepping in front of Sarah and Benny. Ethan and Olivia carried on walking down the the stairs.
"Sure, dying young could be fun." Benny said, sarcastically.
"We'll just a look." Ethan informed his scared friend.
"That's what they always say in scary movies before they get eaten alive!" Benny replied with gritted teeth.
The teenagers then heard another crash.
"This thing is nature's greatest klutz." Benny joked.
"Hey, guys!" Rory yelled, jumping out in front of them. The four jumped back in surprise.
"What are you doing down here?" Olivia asked.
"Look for a snack, what else?" He answered, as if Olivia just asked a stupid question.
"We thought you were..." Ethan then saw the monster. "that!" He pointed.
Olivia took a good look at it and realised it was an alligator.
"Was that an-"
"Alligator? Yeah." Olivia said, cutting Ethan off.
"How was that an alligator?! In WhiteChapel?!"
"Er, guys, remember that locked search a couple of months back?" Rory nervously asked.
The four nodded slowly. "Go on..." Olivia urged.
"Well... I may have flushed live alligators down there..."
"Live alligators? Why?" Sarah hissed.
"I didn't mean to! What? They obviously survived."
"Where did you get them?" Ethan asked.
"Florida. I thought they were iguanas and when they announced the locker raid I panicked; I thought they'd be safe in there." He explained.
"Yeah, because nothing says home like a school toilet!" Olivia shot at Rory.
"I think it went back up the stairs." Sarah said, pointing at the way they entered. As Ethan lead them up the stairs, Sarah nodded. "Yeah, they definitely went this way."
"How do you know?" Ethan asked her.
"Vampires have a really good sense of smell."
"She's right. It was here!" Olivia said, running up the stairs, Rory following suit.
Rory then trod in what looked like something the alligator left behind. "Eurgh, is this normal for an alligator?"
"Ew!" Olivia said, dodging it.
"It's grown a lot in four months, this is no normal alligator!" Sarah stated.
"The potion must've mutated them." Benny said.
"Potion?" Olivia and Ethan repeated. "What potion?"
"The potion I dumped that day was called Jockstar." He explained.
Olivia, since she was previously a witch knew about this potion. "Oh no..." She mumbled.
"It gives you the combined mojo of Cindy Crawford, Kobe Bryant and a circus dolphin." Benny grinned.
"A dolphin?"
"What? Chicks dig dolphins," Benny said, looking at Olivia. "as far as I've heard."
"I need new friends." Sarah sighed.


"I can't believe you were gonna take something like that, I'm telling your grandmother!" Sarah decided. Olivia laughed at the panic on Benny's face.
"No, please don't tell her!"
"I'm telling her!"
"Guys! Not now, we're trying to find a huge alligator."
Olivia thought she saw something in the corner of her eye, so turned in that direction. She hit Ethan's arm and pointed at the tail which was on show.
It trailed down the hallway and the teens subtly followed it. The alligator then stopped.
"Okay, I have a bad feeling about this." Ethan whispered. "We've got it cornered, let's go!"
Rory then ran off. Olivia threw her arms in the air before shrugging. "With or without Rory, it wouldn't make much of a difference."
The four crept towards the alligator, but it growled at them and they jumped back. "Maybe we haven't got it cornered." Benny whispered.
Rory then appeared behind it with a huge sheet. "Rory, what are you doing?!" Olivia and Sarah hissed.
He threw the sheet over the crocodile and jumped on top of it. "Gotcha!" He said in an Australian accent. "I saw this on the crocodile hunter, help me reel this thing!"
"I'll get his tail!" Olivia said, running towards it. "Get its head!" She shouted to none of them in particular.
"Yeahhhh!" Benny teased, shining the torch on its head.
"Not with the torch!" Ethan yelled, helping out Rory.
"Oh, it's scary!" Benny almost squealed, jumping back a little once the alligator growled at him.


Olivia and Sarah helped keep the drama closet's door shut since they were the strongest and Ethan tried to lock it with chains.
Once he locked it he stepped back, followed by the girls and cheered. They all high-fived one another.
"Humans one, gator zero!" Ethan shouted at the alligator. "That's what happens when you mess with thumbs!"
"Yeah!" Benny agreed, hitting the closet, the alligator hit back, causing Benny to stumble into Olivia, almost knocking her over. "Yeah, I think we made our point.
"This is the gator that attacked Kate, how did it get through those pipes?" Sarah asked.
"Well, grown mice can flatten themselves down to half an inch to get out of doorways. It must've evolved." Ethan predicted.
"You evolved?" Rory asked, stepping towards the closet. "Aw! Daddy's so proud!" He hugged the closet.
The gator growled and Rory stepped back. Benny gave him a weird look.


Later that day, the five were watching the news. Olivia was sat beside Benny, he tapped her. "What?"
"Now that we've got rid of this thing, our evenings completely free, which means-"
"We don't have to reschedule, surprisingly."
He grinned and nodded, shuffling closer, if he could shuffle any closer. "I'm excited."


"A large, scaly creature was spotted lurking outside a Hunter Hills' home two nights ago." The news man said.
Erica then stormed in, she was soaking wet.
"Erica? What happened to you?" Olivia asked.
"You guys are the ones with your finger on all that's weird around here; you tell me! I was driving a freshmen through the car wash in the back of my dad's pickup-"
"You drove them through a car wash?" Sarah repeated.
"Well, after she made them roll around in minure, someone had to hose them off." Ethan said.
"Right?! And then something huge and scaly jumped out of the pipes and attacked me!"
"Hey, is this a dig on Sheila because she's actually a really nice girl who actually just happens to have a minor skin condition." Benny said.
"No! It was some kind of mutant alligator thing and it came out biting! Now I know how my food feels and I don't like it!" She yelled.
"Are the girls okay?" Olivia asked.
"They're fine! My new leather jacket is trashed though!" She replied, looking at her ruined jacket.
"Hey, guys. Looks like they found Thor's buddy." Ethan pointed at the TV.
"This just in, the 250 pound gator was captured at a local pool after a close encounter with a mother and her toddler. The rampageous reptile was heavily sedated then sent to a local zoo for testing. Local officials say all city pools are now considered safe and gator free." The news reporter smiled.
"Well, that's both my little guys!" Rory said, getting up. "It's all over! Who wants pretzels?"
Benny's hand shot up.
"Typical." Olivia chuckled.
"That's not the one that attacked me, the one that I saw was bigger than that."
Benny's smile dropped. "That means Thor didn't have a buddy... he had a special lady! They're breeding and if Erica's right, them babies ain't pretty."
"Yes! I'm a matchmaker." Rory grinned.
"We're talking about an entirely different species," Ethan began. "one capable of incredible strength, growing to who knows what size... the possibilities are endless!"
"And thanks to the dork squad they're loose in our city sewer system!" Sarah stared at Rory. Sarah's phone the went off. "Erica, are you calling me?"
"No..." She felt around in her pockets. "Darn it! That swamp thing must've taken my phone when it tried to bite my arm off! I just got that phone!" Erica groaned.
"Let me guess, you got it whilst you were trying to bite someone else's arm off." Ethan said to her.
"Yeah, it's a 6G!"
"Erica you need to stop stealing from your dinner guests, okay?" Olivia said.
"Yeah, you're gonna draw too much attention to yourself."
"Fine! Okay! They're just souvenirs!"
The teenagers then heard someone fart, Olivia and Erica immediately knew who that belonged to.
"Did you heard something?" Ethan asked Benny, who nodded.
"No! Nobody did." Sarah snapped.
"Nope, me neither." Erica said, holding her nose.
Ethan's phone then started to beep.
"Is the gator's stomach calling you again?" Erica asked.
"No, texting actually. But I just got an idea." Ethan replied, standing up.


"Okay, so long as Erica's phone is still in the alligator's stomach-"
"Then we can call anyone who got eaten and find out where they were." Benny said, stupidly.
"That'll never work! The reception inside alligator would be like one bar max." Rory said, with his hands on his hips.
"It's just enough to track the phone's GPS signal." Ethan said. "We can hack into the satellite and pin-point the exact location of the alligator." He began to type. "Aaaand, viola!" Ethan smiled, feeling proud.
No one said anything.
"Oh, come on! No reactions? That was a lot harder than it looks!" Ethan said.
"That things working its way up to Hunter Hills' mansion country." Olivia said, looking at the tracker.
"Hm, very high class, lots of hot tubs." Erica joked.
"That was an 126 bit encryption I just hacked through!" Ethan complained.
"I thought it was awesome!" Benny said, holding up his hand for Ethan to high-five.
"Thank you, Benny!"
"Wait, where was Heather last seen again?" Sarah asked.
"Wasn't it like her boyfriend's mansion or something?" Olivia replied, slightly unsure.
"That's it! Where else would a tropical sewer-dwelling lizard be able to make it through the winter? Under a hot tub, that's where the nest is!" Ethan told his friends.
"Isn't he having another party today?" Erica asked.
"A pool party..." Olivia corrected.
"The baby's heading right home." Ethan said, looking at the tracker. "We have to warn them."
"Hold on," Benny said, stopping Ethan. "Olivia and I have a date."
"Yeahhh... we can't make it." Olivia said, biting her lip.
Sarah grinned and nodded. "There's so much that happens in WhiteChapel, you two lovers deserve a break."
"Lovers? For your information, we're not dating right now." Olivia replied.
Benny felt a little hurt that Olivia denied the fact about them being "lovers", but didn't show it.

"So you're all ready?" Sarah asked Olivia through the phone. "Are you walking to his house right now?"
Olivia laughed. "Yes, I am."
"So he's taking you to the restaurant?"
Olivia laughed again. "Yes, why're you so interested anyways?"
"Because you two made a great couple and I'm not gonna let the fact that you're a vampire get in the way."
Although Sarah couldn't see it, Olivia smiled through the phone. "Okay, well, I'm outside his house, so I'll see you later."
"Tell me and Erica all about it at school?" Sarah asked.
"Sure, okay bye." Olivia hung up and put her phone back in her pocket.
"I wish Benny would've gave me the slightest hint as to where we were going so I knew what to wear, I could either be overdressed or underdressed." Olivia muttered to herself, knocking on the door.
Benny opened the door within a second. He was wearing a black tux and Olivia could spell the cologne he was wearing.
Benny stared at Olivia in awe. She was wearing a black pencil dress, black heels and she had left her hair to flow freely, it looked slightly messy and Benny loved it. "You look..." He began. Olivia raised an eyebrow.
"Hot!" He finished.
Olivia chuckled. "Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself."
"Come in." He smiled, stepping back and holding out his arm, inviting her inside.
"So, where are we going?" Olivia asked.
Benny bit his lip. "Well, about that, I found a place, but it was all booked, so I found another place, but that was all booked too, so I tried again and, uh, yeah, it was booked."
"So, what've you got planned?"
"I may have got grandma to help with the cooking, I tried but I kinda burnt the food, so..."
Olivia laughed and nodded. "Go on."
"Grandma cooked the food but I sorted out the music - restaurant music took ages to download, by the way - but I set up the table and candles all by myself." He grinned, feeling proud of himself.
"So you brought the restaurant to us?" Olivia asked.
"That's exactly what I mean!" His grin then dropped. "Oh God, I've ruined our first date, haven't I?"
Olivia shook her head. "No! I think it's cute." She took off her shoes and put her bag down beside them.
"M'lady," Benny grinned, holding out his arm. Olivia linked hers with his and let him lead her to his kitchen.
"Well, hello there." Evelyn appeared, holding a towel over her arm.
Olivia chuckled.
"Oh yeah I forgot to mention grandma's our waitress for the night."
Olivia nodded. Benny walked her over to her chair and pulled it out for her to sit down, before tucking her back in.
Once Benny sat down, he gave her a smile. "So I know you're a vampire and all so I kept that in mind and made sure grandma gave you the best quality of blood to drink for tonight."
"Aw, well that's very considerate of you, Benny."
Benny sighed and rested his chin on in his palm.
"So for tonight we have- Benny...?" Evelyn asked her grandson. She snapped her fingers in front of his face. "Earth to Benny."
He sat back up and blinked a couple of times. "Sorry, er, go on, grandma."
Olivia felt her cheeks heat up because Benny was gawking at her and tried to hide it, but she wasn't do it so well.
"For starters, I have salad to keep the balance since Benny's main recommendation was a little on the unhealthier side. For the main meal we have pizza,"
Olivia looked at Benny and raised an eyebrow, trying not to laugh.
"What's a date without pizza?" He asked her.
"And for dessert we have cake with ice cream, again, Benny's recommendation." Evelyn said, looking at her grandson.
