[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Woah, hold on," Tom said, eyes wide, "Okay, you've been with these people for four years, and then this crazy woman tells you that they've replaced you. First of all, that's total BS. I'm not sure what's complicated."

"Do you mind?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"She tends to be scarily accurate."

She shrugged and summoned a piece of colored paper and started tearing it into strips.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"There's something off, then."

"What are you doing?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's what I've been thinking. Maybe I should call Ray..." He looked at the clock. "Nevermind, it's late."

She smiled and put a finger to his lips to quiet him, teasing.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Just do it, man," he sighed.

He shrugged and watched her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Okay." He looked at his phone and hesitated a bit before dialing the number.

Eventually she started folding the strips of paper into tiny stars. On the third one, she got a confused look on her face. "Are you sure I'm okay? From the bite? Because I'm better at this in the dark." She paused. "I could have worded that better."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Tom stayed silent and kept his eyes on the road.
Ray woke up to the sound of her phone ringing, looking around bleary-eyed in search of it. She found it on her nightstand and pressed the talk button. "Hello?" she mumbled, checking to see what time it was on her bedside clock.

"You should be fine. Can I look at it?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Sorry I woke you," James murmured, smiling a little to hear her voice.

She turned her neck and exposed the bandage. "Go ahead."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"James?" she said, suddenly awake. She sat up in her bed. "It's no big deal."

Edward hesitated, then peeled off the bandage slightly to see the bite mark.
"How do you feel?" he asked quietly, still looking at it.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I'm on my way back to New York."

She thought about it a bit. "Funny," she replied.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Really? I thought you said you'd be away for a month?"

"I don't know what that means."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Change of plans."

"I don't know," she replied hesitantly. "A little lethargic, a little like I could do anything in the world. A little dangerous. Funny."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"That's really great. Do you know when you'll be here?"

"It's probably just an effect from the shock," he said, smoothing the band-aid back on, "What are you afraid of right now? That you'll turn?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Tomorrow or the next day at the latest."

She shook her head. "No, I've read enough to know I'm safe from that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I can't wait," she said and smiled, "What happened?"

"Then what's bugging you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Um," he paused, "There's been a bit of an issue. Morgana's been following me lately."

"They're a different sort than you, aren't they?" she asked quietly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

The smile faded from her face and she didn't reply; you would've thought she hung up. She gripped the phone tightly in her hand.

"Yes, yes they are."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"She wants me to come work for her again. I need to know that you're safe."

"So... from what I've also read, they can come find me because my blood's been marked, and while I'm sleeping they'll coerce me into letting them in and everything falls to shit."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Of course I am. I told you I would stay out of trouble," she said quietly.

He took her face in his hands. "Mimi, stop worrying. These things aren't going to happen."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. But if any strange animals start asking for your attention, make sure you steer clear of it. Okay?"

She bit her lip and looked up at him. "But it could. How do you know it won't happen?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'll keep my eye out."

"I've been around vampires for the majority of my life. I've heard everything that there is," he said.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Thanks. How are you?"

"So that's actually not a thing that happens?" she asked warily.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Just tired. What about you?"

"Not at all. Just ask.." he stopped and looked around, "Are you still here, Peter?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"A little stressed out."

Just like that, he appeared. "You rang?"
Mimi laughed a little.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'm sorry."

"Please tell her that there's nothing to worry about."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It's not your fault. Anything new?" he asked, wanting to bring up the subject of a newcomer organically.

"About what?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No, no nothing really," she said, "I mean, we ran into Ed's friend."

"She believes she's been marked by Scott."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He raised an eyebrow. "Yeah? What happened?"

"Oh, she has been."
Mimi raised her eyebrows.
"Not like that, silly. I mean, yes, he bit you, and yes, he probably wants to finish the job because there is no such thing as an unfinished job and..." he trailed off. "And it's probably not likely that he comes back because we threatened him thoroughly. So just stay close."
"I'm far from comforted."
Peter shrugged. "If you really want to be disturbed, he's probably followed the trail of blood to the apartment."

((this sounds like a plot idea))

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Um, we went to this goth bar that Ed used to go to," she told him, trying not to sound nervous.

"Peter," he hissed.

((indeed))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He laughed. "I detect an interesting story."

"What? I can't lie to her."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, no, it's nothing. We just ran into him and now he's sticking with us for a little bit."

"Scott's not coming back."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's it?"

"Well, he might."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Yeah, that's it."

"If he does, I will kill him this time."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"No story?" he murmured.

"That'll just make Scarlet furious."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Did you expect one?"

"So what? I'm not afraid of her."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"A little."

"But you're afraid of what she might do."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, there isn't one. Sorry."

"What could she possibly do?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Darn."

"Use your imagination, my friend."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you still with Tom?"

"I'd rather not," he sighed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yeah. He told me everything about what happened before."

"Are you trying to scare me or warn me?"
"Both," he said, "Always both. Watch your back, child."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's about time," she muttered.

"I'll be able to hear if he's nearby."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Mmm... if you're not distracted. I'll keep watch on the roof, though."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's okay," she said, leaning back against her pillows, "I really miss you, James. I know it's only been a day or two but..." she sighed.

"What do you mean 'distracted'?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He smiled a little. "I miss you, too."

He looked pointedly between the two of them on the couch. "Do I have to answer that?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"That's good, I mean, it's not but," she sputtered, "Just come quickly, okay?"

Edward rolled his eyes and turned away from him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"As quickly as I can."

He smirked and headed towards the door. "I'll see you two around."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Great," she murmured, "'cause I'm getting lonely over here. It's awfully cold."

"Just keep walking, Peter."

((gtg soon))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((same. school in the morning. sigh))

"Well, we can't have that. I'll make sure you're nice and warm."

"You wound me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((gross. i have a test :P))

"I'm very excited for that. Why are you up so late, anyway?"

"Bye," he said in a sing-song voice.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((ick))

"Road trip."

Peter laughed, and then left, waving over his shoulder.
