Trouble With Freshies PG-13

I do not own any recognizable characters no copyright infringement is intended.

Josef came downstairs because he heard sniffling. It wasn’t allergy season so if freshies were crying something had to be wrong.

He saw Tangie, Summer, Aquamarine and Jade dabbing their eyes watching television.

He stepped into the freshie lounge. “All right ladies, I told you about Titanic, you can only watch it in April.

Tangie blew her nose. “It’s not Titanic, it’s True Blood.

Josef rolled his eyes. “Are you serious? A vampire show has you this upset? Does it have to be put on the forbidden list with Twilight?

All four girls squealed. “No! Besides it only has two more episodes.

“Fine but you have to pull yourselves together. Why are you crying?

The girls all turned to Jade, she was the newest and therefore had to take one for the team. “The vampires are dying of a disease called Hep V.

“Vampires don’t get sick.” Josef said quietly.

Tangie stepped in. “Yeah, but this virus was made to kill vampires. What if someone did something like that? No vampire is immune whether they are new or a thousand.

“This is why vampires can’t come out of the dark.

“It’s coffin. Summer corrected.

Josef glared at her. “Do I sleep in a coffin Sweetheart?

Summer blushed. No, it’s just an expression.

“Do you think a coffin is comfortable? If so I could buy one and put in ventilation holes for smart mouthed freshies.

“I’m sorry. I’m just upset thinking about vampire disease.

“There is no such thing as vampire disease.

“Fortunately there’s a cure. Aqua said.

‘There is no cure for vampirism. I don’t know where you ladies come up with such nonsense.

The four women stared at him in complete and total confusion.

“Who would want to be cured of being a vampire? Jade asked.

Josef nodded. “My thoughts exactly. Mick was reading some stupid book about vampires and it discussed a reversal of the process. He talked my ear off about whether or not it was possible. If I wanted to hear fairy tales, I'd watch Once Upon a Time.

Tangie sensed there was more to what he was saying but also that he desperately wanted to change the subject. ‘Well, I imagine if my diet consisted of dead blood I’d be unhappy too.

“That’s what I told him. So ladies, can you control yourselves or do I have to restrict your TV privileges?

“We’ll be good. Tangie said.

Summer suggested. How can we make it up to you?

Ten minutes later Josef was being massaged by four expert freshies. It was good to be a vampire.

Ooh... it looks like Josef got thrown a little off his game! Thank goodness, he caught himself immediately and nobody noticed (well, except Tangie, and she's kinda hardwired to notice everything where Josef is concerned). I'm not surprised that he slipped from the idea of a cure for a (mythical) vampire illness to an actual cure for vampirism. Darn that Mick St. John, anyway. It's all his fault!

I love that your ML people are watching the shows and movies that we watch. It's so fun to see your interpretation of how the vamps would react to media portrayals of vampires. Josef gets annoyed, but you can tell he was touched that the freshies care enough to worry about him.

True Blood has come too close to home (ML-home) a few times--especially the vampire blood addiction thing. I bet Josef and Mick are glad the show is ending!

I like putting the ML characters into our post 2008 world. It's a lot of fun. Mick is messing up Josef's head and he's just lucky Tangie and the girls take such good care of him.
