Out in the driveway, there was a truck that looked as if it had not been used in a long time.
"Um... I haven't driven in a long time so..." Fayette said as she headed to the driver's side of the truck.
"Shotgun!" Zangetsu shouted.
"I call middle!" Karshy shouted, running to the door.
"I guess I'm stuck riding in the back." Mike said.
"Sucks to be you." Zangetsu said.
"It's not that bad, riding in the back." Mike said.
"You just keep thinking that." Karshy said.

They arrived at Mike's house after a terrifying ride in Fayette's truck.
"Come on Mike." Zangetsu said, picking Mike up with one arm and setting him down on the ground.
Mike was in the fetal position and was muttering, "No more turns... no more turns... WATCH OUT FOR THAT LIGHT!! NO!! DON'T LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT THE ROAD!!! THE ROAD!!"
Karshy helped him up, "Oh come on Mike, it wasn't that bad."
Mike stared at her.
"Ok it was pretty bad, but you'll get over it." Karshy said.
Fayette asked quietly. "My... my driving wasn't... that bad... was it?"
"No... it was... it was... good." Mike said, trying not to hurt her feelings, "...it was good."

"Come on! Let's go get your stuff now!" Karshy said, grabbing Mike's arm.

[Mike]

As they walked up to the house, Mike turned to the others. "Yeah, my grandpa... he's pretty weird."
"Weird how?" Karshy asked
"Yeah... just... don't mention that you're werewolves and you should be fine." Mike said, avoiding the subject.
"O... K?" Karshy said.
They walked up to the door. The yard was full of every kind of obnoxious lawn ornament ever. And on the front door there was garlic, dream catchers, and other various talismans.
The others stared the door.
"Yeah... don't worry about it." Mike said, and opened the door. "I'm home!" he turned to the others, "Well come on in."

"My room's over here." Mike said, walking down the hallway.
"Ooh! Candy corn!" Karshy said, spotting a bowl of candy corn on the coffee table.
"Don't eat that." Mike said.
"Why not?"
"It's older than I am. No joke."
"Oh." Karshy said, taking one anyway.
"Anyway it's right here." Mike said, opening the door.
"Wow." Karshy said.
"Yeah..." Mike said, "I don't clean..."
His room was full of all kinds random crap that seemed completely unnecessary. (mostly because it was completely unnecessary.) You couldn't even see the floor. The walls were covered with random posters, most weren't even of bands or anything. They were just posters, of random stuff like, one of em was this lizard, and another was a coffee mug. None of them made a whole lot of sense.
"I like these decorations." Zangetsu said.
"Uh..." Mike said, "K?"
"Can I have them?" Zangetsu said, looking at the poster of a monkey with a chainsaw and a top hat.
"Sure..." Mike said, "I only used them to cover up those holes in the wall anyway..."
"Nice." said Zangetsu, as he proceeded to take them down.
"Right..." said Mike, "Anyway, I think there's a suitcase in the closet. Can you two get it for me?" he asked Fayette and Karshy.
Fayette nodded, and she and Karshy went to the closet and opened the door, and Fayette screamed as a bunch of stuff fell out of the closet. They looked inside the closet and gasped. Besides the usual stuff, umbrella, coats, suitcases, there was all this weird stuff. Garlic, stakes, crosses, a crossbow, silver bolts, and various other werewolf/vampire hunter things.
"Aiiiieee!!" Fayette screamed again as a silver bolt rolled toward her.

[Mike]

Mike heard the scream and ran out of his room to see what happened. Seeing Fayette inching away from the silver bolt, he said "Oh... sorry. I'm just so used to all that stuff that I forgot about it." Mike looked at them and the shocked looks on their faces and added, "Don't worry. Gramp's just thinks he's some kind of vampire hunter... or something... he gets a little senile sometimes."
"Vampire hunter?" Karshy asked "thats a little weird..."
Fayette just stared at the silver in the closet.
"Yeah, but it's harmless. He generally just thinks door to door salesmen are vampires or something and brings out the crossbow and by then they usually run off. Its a pretty effective method of never being bugged by them though..." Mike said "We should just get my stuff and leave then." They took the suitcase in his room and Mike began to pack his things.
"What should I carry?" Karshy asked.
"Uh... you two could carry these boxes, they have basically everything important that I own." Mike said, pointing to the two boxes that he had filled earlier.
"I'll carry this." Zangetsu said, pointing to the bed.
"Uh- well... I don't really need that, but you can try and bring it if you want..." said Mike, as he followed the girls out of his room with his suitcase.

[Mike]

As they walked toward the front door, Mike's grandpa appeared suddenly. "Hello there Mike."
"Oh! Hey Gramps." Mike said.
"I see you got yourself a girlfriend. Or two." He said scratching his chin, "unless this one isn’t real..." he added, looking at Fayette suspiciously. He poked Fayette to test his suspicion. "Nope! She’s real!" Fayette backed away slightly into Karshy giving him a look that said *what are you doing?!?*
"No grandpa. I’m just gonna stay at their house for a while. In Montana."- Mike
"Move in with them? Ain’t you a little young to do that?"- Gramps
"No... actually... *sigh* it’s complicated..."- Mike
"This wouldn't have anything to do with... VAMPIRES? Would it?" Gramps asked suspiciously.
"No." Mike sighed.
"Or perhaps werewolves?" Gramps asked, looking directly at Fayette and Karshy.
"Uh... no?"
"I see..." Gramps said thoughtfully.
"Huh?"
"Oh nothing." Gramps said, "Well, go on then. Don't be a stranger now."
"Uh... ok?" Mike said, "Bye."
*BANG!* *CRASH!* ("Whoops.")
"What was that?!" Mike shouted, startled by the noise.
"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing. Probably just your friend trying to get your bed out of your room." Gramps said as he walked away.
"How the heck did he know about that?" Karshy asked.
"I don't know... sometimes he just knows things." Mike said absentmindedly, "Well anyway, lets load this stuff in the truck then."

And they proceeded to load the stuff into the truck. As they were heading back in the house to get Zangetsu, he popped his head out the door and said, "Actually I think I'll walk home."
*Thank god!* Mike thought to himself, *I don't have to ride in the back!*
"Are you sure you don't want a ride?" Fayette asked.
*NOOOO!!* Mike thought.
"No, I'm going to stay here for a bit. Then maybe stop and get a burger..." Zangetsu said.
*Hallelujah!* Mike thought.
"Ok then..." Fayette said.

And Mike Karshy and Fayette went home with Mike's stuff.
