[soft music]
Mmm... [chuckles]
[laughs] Wow.
That's such a good line.
To the vampire of my dreams.
There's something I've wanted to do for a really long time.
Ethan! Ethan!
Ow!
What are you doing in here?
I let him in.
Oh, Ethan, you're so dreamy!
Kiss me!
You ever heard of privacy, you little rodent?
Ethan, get up.
The council wants to see you.
Ah, you're usin' the stove all by yourself?
No.
Today is the day that I ask Sarah out on a date.
Cool! Where are we going?
[sigh]
Ow!
Ethan's mom! Ethan hit me!
* Just for me
* No more maybe it's may believe *
* She's the girl next door
* Nice, but not in a heart that's pure *
* She's the girl next door
Thanks.
So? Did you have fun last night?
Fun?
Everyone wore sunglasses indoors and talked about blood types.
I know! I love vampire clubs.
I just wanted one normal night.
Just like we used to.
Sarah...
I was VP of the historical fiction club.
I don't want that kind of normal anymore.
Hey Sarah! Looking good today.
Is it windy in here, 'cause I just got blown away.
Ugh.
Why am I so much smoother in my dreams?
You know...
Just for you,
I'll take my hundred bucks in dollars.
[sighs]
The deal was that I had a year to ask Sarah out.
I still have five hours left.
Hmm...
The council wants to meet with you now.
And this time I've been authorized to use force.
[chuckles] What force?
These... [chuckles]
[growling]
And those.
Yeah, sure you will.
Oh, and on a completely unrelated note,
I have pre-ordered a hundred dollars' worth
of the world's first self-chewing gum.
Anytime...
He's 769 years old.
Doesn't look a day over 768. [chuckles]
He's in some type of trance.
We cannot wake him.
We have no way of knowing what went on here.
But a seer might.
Where is it!
Where is the Lucifractor?
He was attacked by a man in a long cloak.
And he was looking for something called the Lucifractor.
Thank you for your help. You're free to go.
And Ethan-
the next time you make me send my guards to bring you back,
I'll send them out hungry.
I've got all day to ask Sarah out.
Yeah. This I gotta see.
Erica told me you were here.
Did they hurt you? Oh!
Is everything okay?
Uh, yeah.
Um, can we, uh...
I'd...
I'd like to uh...
Sarah, would you like to go out for dinner with me tonight?
What, like a date?
Uh, no, not like that. I mean - No! Yes!
I mean... Yeah, exactly like that.
On a date.
Sure, what the heck.
Could be fun.
And I never doubted you ever!
Me neither!
And I'm not lying like Benny!
Yeah!
One hundred dollars.
In nickels.
Best money I ever spent.
What did they say it was?
I didn't tell them about it.
Dude!
You kept a secret from the council?
How'd you get so cool all of a sudden?
Must be pretty important
if it scared little Miss Fang Thang.
Maybe we should figure this out.
Maybe I should just call Sarah about tonight and-
BOTH: Hey, whoa, whoa!
It took a full year to get one date - one!
This?
The two of us make almost a full Ethan.
Yeah... What?
Okay.
Yeah, you're right.
So, where are you taking her?
Well, Erica mentioned a little restaurant Sarah might like.
Nice. Time for some tips.
Oh, I don't need any tips.
I don't need any tips... Coach.
How necessary would you say that wig is?
Very.
I totally think it brings out the colour in my eye.
Cut the chatter!
[gasp] Awkward pause alert!
What do you do?
Um, compliment her eyes or her shoes!
Do you have a map?
Why?
There you are, sir.
What do you do?
Don't make a big deal about how maybe your soup
wasn't worth seven dollars?
Lesson time's over! Get in there!
Get your date on! Go, go, go, go!
Oh... Thanks!
You think he'll blow it?
Yeah, probs.
I mean, he left you the bill.
I've been staring at this thing for five minutes and...
Does this look like a monkey's head to you?
I mean, with one eye?
I think it looks more like this.
Hey, you're right. Nice catch.
What is this map?
Oh, that would be the "oh-no zone."
It's the only part of town my company won't insure.
Um, garage torn apart by trees.
It's like the whole area seems to be filled with bad luck.
Oh.
You know, back in the '40s,
a busload of people checked in.
The next day...
They disappeared. Checked out.
Checked out?
You mean, like...?
No one knows.
Whatever it was,
their insurance didn't cover it.
[laughs]
[awkward laughter]
Do you have any pictures of, like,
flooded basements and stuff?
Okay, each place he mentioned
is a nexus of supernatural energy.
What about this one?
It's on the drawing, but not in the map.
If this is where it is, we need to get there first.
We're going to One Darkwood Road.
You won't believe this...
One guy's basement, right here,
full of... fish!
It's not a "date" date.
It's just two friends having a-
A date! And it shouldn't be happening.
You're not like him anymore.
This isn't a Dusk novel.
And I'm not a thousand years old.
Yet.
So, relax.
Hey, whoa.
Isn't that the bracelet Jesse gave you?
Are you sure that's a good idea to be wearing that?
That's the one nice thing I got out of that relationship.
And I backhanded him in the face with it once.
Good times.
but thought you might like this better.
Thanks.
Shall we?
And we need to talk.
Was that a...
[chuckling]
[beeping]
On the monster scale, vampire beats ghost.
You're the scariest thing down here.
I am? [beeping]
Cool!
Ahhh!
[sighs]
[beeping]
Behold the Lucifractor!
We are its new masters!
What does it do?
It obeys our awesome commands!
Cool. How?
I... have no idea.
Grandma will figure that one out. [growling]
For something so important,
you think it'd have, like, an alarm or something.
[beeping] You mean like that?
[growling]
Run!
Ah yes. Right this way.
Nice place!
Very lean, but healthy.
Oh, turkey napkins. Nice.
Actually, I think it's a swan.
You work here?
Vampires need money too.
So would you like to hear our specials?
We have one dessert so sweet
You said I was the scariest thing here!
Second scariest is still pretty good.
Run again! Okay!
[growling]
Um, waitress?
Did I tell you that your eyes really match your shoes?
[laughs] Wow.
I don't think anyone's ever said that to me before.
I had a vision of Jesse.
I'm sorry, I should have said something
but I didn't want it to get in the way.
I don't even know how he knew we were dating.
You really think that's it?
Yeah, but enough is enough.
It's time I sent him a message.
Tonight is about us.
Ethan, listen up.
We need to talk.
You're - you're here.
Actually here.
This was just supposed to be a message.
What do you want?
Someone's growing up!
And you're with Sarah.
First date?
Yeah, it is.
And you're interrupting.
Feeling territorial?
Easy, tiger.
This is business.
Someone's looking for the Lucifractor.
You have to find it.
What's so important about it?
The Lucifractor absorbs the dark energy
that keeps vampires alive.
Two centuries ago,
a sorcerer almost drove us out of Whitechapel with it.
I ...
dealt with him and hid it.
"Undesirable element" they called me.
Can you believe that?
It boggles the mind.
Listen, Sarah's life is in danger.
It won't care whose side you're on.
Well? What is it?
Um, I just need to make a quick phone all.
[panting]
You're so fast.
You look a little tired.
Want me to carry that for awhile?
Yes...
Oh!
It's a lot heavier than I thought.
Hey, okay, we've found the Lucifractor, and it-
You found it?
Was there some kind of guardian thing?
Oh, yeah. And it-
Never mind!
You have to bring it to the restaurant now!
Hurry!
Uh, hey, Rory.
You feel well enough to, like,
Okay, tell me what's going on.
There's a bit too much to explain right now,
but we should leave as soon as Benny and Rory get here, okay?
This is a vampire restaurant!
What are you talking about?
You chose this place!
Eaters, and eat-ees.
You both need to know who you're going on a date with.
I think I'll take him to go, thanks.
[door opens]
Benny!
[growling]
Are you nuts?
It's powerful enough now without giving it a super weapon.
Maybe we can destroy one powerful thing with another.
Good idea! Do it now!
I've gotta figure out how to use it!
Maybe I can buy you some time.
[crowd murmurs]
What is that thing?
I totally almost tasted that earlier.
So much power.
If you talk about what you saw tonight,
Let's go!
Are you okay?
Here.
[grunting]
You all right?
Yeah.
Yeah?
[sighs]
Well, let's put it this way, buddy-
she'll never forget this date.
Oh...
Let's go.
Maybe next time, trooper.
[sighs]
Dude...
You look rough.
Did you have that zombie cat dream again?
Oh, yeah and worse.
Probably because I slept with this thing under my pillow.
Hey, let's Lucifrac something.
No, Benny.
This thing's like a magnifying glass for dark powers.
We could rule the world.
See?
That's exactly why I'm stuck babysitting it.
Come on, just for the morning. No.
I really want to Lucifrac just... just one thing !
Give it back! Boys!
You know how I feel about horseplay in the halls.
I am horseplay's greatest opponent.
This is coming with me.
No! No!
[grunting]
You can't take that!
I'm fairly certain I can.
If you would like to argue the point,
I'd be happy to hear your complaints in detention.
At least it's relatively safe in his office.
What's Vice-Principal Stern going to do with it?
[chuckles]
