Don't Be A Fool

Chapter 6

Alice was in her room getting ready for bed, she had her record playing and was braiding her hair for tomorrow.

" What are you doing?" Robin asked. Alice looked over to see him standing in the doorway.

" Getting ready for tomorrow," Alice answered.

" Did you get something for Ingrid's birthday?" Robin asked.

" New lipstick," Alice answered. " She needs a new color." She looked over to see him standing in the doorway. " What do you want? Why are you still standing there? Don't you have a sleepover tomorrow?"

" I'm just here to admire my darling sister," Robin answered.

" What do you really want?" Alice demanded.

" In the morning can you use my new horror makeup kit on me?" Robin requested. " I want to play a prank on mom and dad."

" Fine," Alice said as the phone in the room started to ring. " Now can you get out, Barabra is calling?" Robin closed the door in annoyance as Alice picked up the phone.

The next morning Alice had her hair looked nice, and make-up done; she walked by Robin's room to hear her dad screeching.

" What's up with Dad?" Paul asked when Alice got to the bottom of the stairs.

" Robin," Alice answered.

" Not surprised," Ian laughed.

When they got to school Robin was performing dentistry on Vlad, he lay on the bench as Alice and Chloe sat in front of him, they looked through a vampire book.

" Ruler," Robin instructed.

" Ruler," Alice said as she handed him a ruler.

" Pencil," Robin requested.

" Pencil," Chloe said as she handed it to him.

" Scalpel," Robin said.

" Scalpel?" Vlad questioned.

" Joke!" Robin laughed.

" It's not funny," Vlad said as he sat up, Alice scooted over so she and Chloe were not so squished anymore. " I need to find out what's wrong with my teeth preferably before our sleepover."

" Well, this book of yours isn't helping," Alice said as Chloe flipped a page, she gasped.

" Thatis, it wouldn't be anything with The Change, would it?" Chloe asked.

" The Change happens at the age of 16," Vlad reminded them. " I've got three whole years until I start growing fangs."

" Growing fangs?" Robin gasped. " Wicked! What does it say?" Robin snatched the book from the girls.

" Nothing important," Chloe said.

" When a young vampire complains of dental discomfort, he may be about to embark on The Change," Robin read.

" Robin!" Alice exclaimed as she and Vlad looked over at the book.

" This occurs at the age of 16," Vlad pointed out.

" But can happen several years earlier," Robin read, Vlad then took the book into his hands to have a look for himself.

" Do you know what this means?" Vlad asked as he looked up, he then closed the book and looked at his friends. " I'm turning into a vampire!"

" I highly doubt that," Alice said as she stood up.

" It's in the book Alice," Vlad said as Alice held a hand out for him.
