would call, with unfailing tact, тАЬan ass faceтАЭ), watery blue eyes. AndтАФ(groan!)тАФdressed in a black
tuxedo. Not a cape, but almost as bad. тАЬFirstтАФand I require this of all new Undead ChildrenтАФтАЭ ThatтАЩs
just how he said it, too. You could hear the capital letters. тАЬтАФyou must get down on those dimpled
knees of yours and swear fealty to me. Then we will Feast, and you will Rest at my side, our newest
Undead Child, and my current Favorite.тАЭ

I didnтАЩt mean to. I didnтАЩt want to. But I started to laugh and just couldnтАЩt stop. Everyone else in the
room stopped rustling and murmuring, and turned shocked gazes in my direction. Except Mr. Gorgeous
in the corner. His eyebrows arched and his lips twisted, but he didnтАЩt smile. He just studied me with that
perfect, icy gaze.

тАЬStop it!тАЭ

тАЬI canтАЩt,тАЭ I giggled.

тАЬI command you to stop laughing! You will not be allowed to Drink at the Sacred Throats of ourтАФтАЭ

тАЬStop, stop, youтАЩre killing me!тАЭ I giggled and snorted and leaned against a stone bust of a Carlson so I
wouldnтАЩt fall down. тАЬNext youтАЩll tell me there will be dire consequences for daring to mock your august
self.тАЭ

He pointed a finger at me. Nothing happened. This surprised him, and it also pissed him off.
тАЬGentlemen! Punish her!тАЭ

This set me off into gales of laughter again. The Cocker Boys approached me, brandishing crosses, and
one of them hurled water into my face. I must have sucked some in from laughing, because I started to
sneeze. And laugh. And sneeze. And laugh. When I finally had control of myself the Cocker Boys were
backed in the far corner, behind Tux Boy, and all the other vampiresтАФexcept oneтАФwere wedged as far
from me as I could get.

тАЬOh, dear,тАЭ I said. I wiped my eyes. I hadnтАЩt actually cried, of course, but my face was wet with holy
water. тАЬOh, that was really great. Well worth the price of parking downtown. And hardly anything is, you
know. Except maybe a show at The Guthrie.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre a vampire,тАЭ Tux Boy said, except he didnтАЩt thunder it majestically this time. It sort of squeaked
out.

тАЬThanks for the news flash, but I figured that out when I woke up dead a couple of days ago.тАЭ

тАЬButтАжbut youтАжтАЭ

тАЬWell! This has been fun, but I think IтАЩll be going now.тАЭ

тАЬButтАжbut youтАжтАЭ

тАЬButтАжbut I was curious so I came along for the ride. However, if hanging with other vamps means I
have to go the whole movie clich├й route, then forget it. Cemeteries? Acolytes? Partying in chilly
mausoleums? Yuck-o. Also, nobody wears a tux this time of year unless theyтАЩre going to a wedding. You
look like an escapee from the set ofDracula Does Doris .тАЭ
