Lives of Quiet Desparation {-Open-}

[Twilla Parks]

Twilla backed away from Daniel, her face flushed bright red. "Hey
Kels," she returned the greeting. Then she gave her friend a once-over.
Kelsey was still in her cheerleading uniform. "Did you forget to change?"

[Kelsey]

Kelsey looked down at her uniform. "Oops. I was in such a rush to get over here after
practice that I decided against actually changing out of the uniform. Besides, lots of girls
where their uniforms in public now. It's becoming quite chic." She turned to her watcher.
"How's everything with you, Dan?"

[Daniel]

Daniel was still staring at Twill. He couldn't help it. "Well,
you're friend Twill here just gave me some great advice. I'm
gonna talk to my boss about working from home so I can keep
an eye on you."

[Twilla Parks]

Before Kelsey could reply to that, Twill jumped in. "Let's not forget
why we're all here. According to what Kelsey told me about last night,
we have a vampire uprising on our hands."

[Kelsey]

"Right, yeah, definitely," Kelsey said. She looked over at Daniel, hoping he would
remember how he was sort of flirting with Alyssa the other night.

[Daniel]

Daniel bowed his head, then gave Kelsey a shut-your-mouth
glare. He jerked his head in Twill's direction. "Quite right. We
should defininitely look into that."

[Twilla Parks]

Twill glanced back and forth between Daniel and Kelsey. "OK you
guys, what the heck is going on?"

[Daniel]

"We ran into a female vamp last night," Daniel said, not
meeting Twill's eyes.

[Kelsey]

"Yeah, and Daniel was getting a little too chummy with it, if you catch my drift,"
Kelsey finished for him.

[Daniel]

Daniel glared at her.

[Twilla Parks]

"Oh," Twill said, looking down at her shoes. "Well, I guess it's none
of our business if Daniel decides to get sired by a hot vamp babe,"
she joked, trying to cover up her confusion.

[Daniel]

"Way to go," Daniel mouthed at Kelsey. To Twill, he said,
"I'm a guy. You can't seriously expect me not to notice a hot
girl. But come on, you both know me well enough to know I'd
never fall for a vamp."

[Twilla Parks]

Twill grinned. "Yeah, I guess we can't blame you for being a guy."
On the inside, she was turning cartwheels. Daniel hadn't actually fallen
for a vamp chick!

[Kelsey]

Kelsey shook her head. "Oh Danny. What on earth are you going to do when I have
to go away to college?" She was being sarcastic of course, since she couldn't actually move
out.

[Daniel]

Danny laughed. "I don't know what I'll do when you guys
leave." He wrapped Twill and Kelsey in a group hug. "Now back
to business. Twill, are you coming to the graveyard tonight to
help us take on the mob?"
