A/N-Wassup? It be TOBN here with the last chapter of A-Z For MBAV!

Wow. This is it. This is the end, isn't it? I cannot believe we went through a whole year with the alphabet, huh? I am actually really proud of myself that I have made it this far without throwing my laptop in distress trying to figure out what letters go with which words.

But damn, it was fun while it lasted, huh?

(That sounds terribly depressing, it's like I am breaking up with you guys)

I just want to extend my greatest thanks (ha ha, that makes sense) to everyone who reviewed, read, followed, favorited, or even just clicked it and went away. If you are reading this very author's note, whether you have been here since the beginning, or if you just found this story now, thank you thank you THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

*ahem* If we keep up this cheesiness, I am sure we can make a hell load of nachos.

Yes, this is the end. I forgot who suggested this to me (put your hand up in the reviews if you were the one, though I feel like it's my fanfic buddy...?) but whoever it was, thank you for suggesting letter Z (I needed help - it is an extremely hard letter to work with)

I really enjoyed reading what you had to say about my work, and writing this story was a blast. Unfortunately, good things come to an end eventually, huh? I do appreciate every single reviewer though - we reached 100, and I know why :)

Special thanks to GEM1588 for inspiring this whole entire story. Much love :)

So without further ado, let's appreciate how I didn't screw up the alphabet somehow by accidentally posting J before K or something, and let's get started on the last chapter :)

ENJOY!

*I literally read this in my MBAV voices, in which I voiced the characters in my own way. I am the weirdest person on the earth :P

Z Is For Zoo

Characters: Ethan, Benny, Rory, Erica and Sarah

Quote: "Good friends won't let you do stupid things...alone." ~Unknown

The teachers counted the amount of people getting off the bus. A bunch of students were already taking pictures of what they saw, and already grouping together in small gatherings, talking animatedly. The teachers were frantically trying to make sure everyone was accounted for, but the amount of students goofing off was quite frustrating to them.

The teachers of WC High decided that it would be a good idea to bring the whole school on a trip to the zoo for their last day of school. While it was a good day to take a break before vacation, some people didn't approve of the idea; primarily, a certain blonde vampire.

Erica walked off the bus, slipping on sunglasses as she looked towards the entrance. She crinkled her nose

"The zoo?" Erica asked in disbelief, crossing her arms. "Uh, no. I did not pay twenty bucks for this to be the last trip of the year."

Benny, Ethan, Sarah, and Rory followed behind her, and Rory squealed. "I think this looks like a lot of fun! Maybe we can ride on elephants and ostriches! Ooh! Do you think they'll let me swim with the dolphins?"

Erica scoffed. "This is a petting zoo, Rory, not a tropical forest."

Rory just stuck his tongue at Erica, and Sarah sighed.

"Yeah, to be honest, this was not the trip I was expecting." she sighed, and Ethan frowned, looking up.

The sign above them read 'The Whitechapel Zoo!' in bold letters. The sign was an arch, and people walked through the entry way. Benny gripped to the handles of his backpack confidently, looking up at the sign through his sunglasses, pulling his hand up to shade the sun from his emerald orbs.

"I think it is just a great way to end the school year." Ethan beamed happily, wind blowing against his hair.

"I think it's just the school's way in showing us that they're broke." Erica counterattacked, and Benny tried his best to stifle his laughs behind his fist.

Sarah shrugged. "I guess we just need to embrace it. This is the last day of the school year, after all, and then it's off to summer vacation."

Erica rolled her eyes. "Whatever. If you need me, I'll be with the fucking flamingos."

Erica strutted off, a few freshmen staring after her; even Rory. Benny nearly face palmed, but Sarah just smiled a little as the teachers announced they would meet back at lunch. Ethan smiled, and with his friends, they ventured off into the zoo.

"Okay, so first on the map is the zebras." Ethan said, looking up from his map to see just as he expected; zebras.

"Did you know British people say 'ze-bruh'," Benny said the word in a thick accent, "and we say 'zee-brah.'?"

Sarah rolled her eyes. "No, Benny, but thanks for the unnecessary fact."

Benny beamed, and Ethan sighed a bit. He saw a glimpse of blonde hair from the other side of the fence, and he grinned, waving his hand a bit to motion the person to come on their side. Benny frowned at him in confusion.

"Who is it?" he asked.

"Rory and Erica." Ethan answered, watching as Rory looked as if he were thinking a little."

Benny groaned. "Why can't we just leave Erica to deal with Rory? I mean, knowing him, he might start, I dunno, riding the zebras."

"Look, Benny, I know that Rory is a bit..." Sarah bit her lip. "imaginative -"

"Nice word choice." Benny said snarkily. Sarah rolled her eyes.

"- but he is our friend, and I think that he is a great addition to our little 'gang'." Sarah chuckled.

"Besides, I doubt he's actually dumb enough to not read the sign that says 'Don't cross the fence' -"

"Actually," Ethan squeaked. "I think you might want to rethink that, Sarah."

Sarah and Benny turned around to see something they never thought they'd see.

It was Rory, hopping over the fence that held the zebras, and literally climbing on their backs. In the background, Ethan caught a glimpse of Erica, whose mouth dropped in some sort of an 'O', before it curved into a smirk. He groaned when he saw Erica pull out her phone and take a picture.

"Whoo!" Rory yelled, swinging his arm as if he were a cowboy. Erica covered her mouth, laughing as she took a video. Ethan could read her lips from where he was; "This is definitely going on YouTube, and will probably get a bunch of likes!"

"Rory!" Benny yelled, leaning over the fence. "Get off that thing!"

Ethan bit his lip, stressed, but Rory shrugged. "Well how am I supposed to get on the other side to get to you guys? I had to cross somehow."

Ethan nearly face palmed, and Benny groaned, letting his head fall back.

"Are you serious man?" Benny yelled. Rory didn't look like he was joking. "Go around!"

Rory's eyes lit up, and Sarah quickly sped past the fence, grabbed Rory, and sped back.

Rory was dangling in the air by Sarah's grip, and Sarah was holding the back of his t-shirt. Erica grinned as she sped to his friends side as well. Luckily, no one in authority saw what had happened, and everyone else just figured it was part of some show or something.

"Don't do that again, Rory." Ethan said. "We might get kicked out of the zoo, and I don't know if that is physically possible."

"It was fun, though!" Rory squealed. His smile grew, and his eyes widened. "Hey, I always wondered; is a zebra black with white stripes? Or white with black stripes."

It didn't take long before Benny and Ethan answered.

"Black with white stripes." Ethan said.

"White with black stripes." Benny said at the same time.

The two boys exchanged looks, before Benny laughed. "Ethan, it's obvious, it is white with black stripes. Have you ever distinctly saw how there is more white patches than black, and that the stripes that are white aren't really straight?"

"Benny, none of the stripes are straight." Ethan counterattacked. "It's just that it is clearly black with white stripes."

"I think you're wrong." Benny said, straightening.

Ethan smirked. "I think I'm right."

The two boys went ahead, bickering about the facts, and the three vampires smirked.

"They are so nerdy." Sarah said with a smile. Rory grinned, catching up to them, as Erica smiled at her phone.

"I am definitely getting a bunch of subscribers from this." Sarah looked at Erica with a roll of her eyes.

The day was ending, and everyone was gathering at the exit for the final show - the monkey show.

Ethan admired the setting - it looked like a glass dome, and it was like its own environment within a busy zoo. It was littered with trees and vines, and it looked very futuristic. Monkeys were swinging from vines, and grooming each other.

"Guys, guys I am panicking right now." Benny said, running up to his friends, who were taking their seats.

"What is it, dork." Erica said lowly, not looking like she cared, but raising her eyes to meet the spellmaster's glance. Rory looked up from his bucket of popcorn, and Sarah turned off her phone to look at her friend.

"Well," Benny's voice was squeaky and high, and Ethan knew he did something wrong.

"What did you do now?" Ethan groaned, and Benny blushed.

"I think I might have dropped my spellbook in the monkey area." he said slowly, closing his eyes, ready to feel the wrath of his friends.

"Is that it?" Sarah asked, and Benny squinted to see that she was right.

In the direction that Sarah was pointing at, Benny saw his spellbook in the hands of a monkey. The instructors looked bewildered at what the monkey was holding, and where did it come from. In a rush, Benny dropped his backpack and made a run to the center of the area.

"Hey!" Ethan heard Benny yell, dodging past the crowds of people. "That monkey has my book!"

When Benny reached the entrance, he saw what seemed to be a worker.

"Hey, miss?" Benny asked, walking towards her. "I think one of those monkeys has my bo -"

"Finally!" The lady cut him off, and Benny was dragged by surprise to the door that would lead into the bio. She handed him a few bananas. "You're late, mister, but at least we can begin the show! You know what to do, right?"

"Wha -" Benny started, but the girl pushed him in.

"Whatever, I don't care, just go out there and entertain!"

She closed the glass door, and Benny yelped, banging against it a bit.

"Lady, you have the wrong guy! I was just looking for my -"

Benny found himself cut off for the third time in that minute, when the announcer's voice boomed throughout the place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we present the monkey show!"

Benny's eyes widened, and he heard the arena silence in a second. He heard teachers murmur, and he also heard the nervous whispers of his friends that were near the front seat. He already saw Erica with the phone, but he looked as if he were in the spotlight - which he was.

"Shit." Benny mumbled.

Suddenly, monkeys came gathering around him, and Benny realized it was because of the bananas.

"Uh, here!" he squeaked, throwing the bananas, and the monkeys followed them in excitement.

Every monkey except for one.

"Damn, monkey!" Benny growled, seeing the one that was with his spellbook.

The monkey screeched and climbed the trees. Determined, Benny followed, hopping on the log of the tree and climbing it.

"Go Benny!" he heard Rory yell, and Benny ignored it, eyes on the prize.

The monkey swiftly swung on the vines, and Benny tried to mimic its actions. Unfortunately, with his weight, the vine snapped, and he landed on his back with a loud thump.

To his luck, people laughed - thinking it was part of the show. Benny groaned, rolling on the floor as he saw the monkey on top of him.

It held the book, and Benny snatched it with a smile.

"Ah-ha!" he exclaimed in victory, and he stood up, twigs in his hair.

"I did it -"

The monkey obviously didn't like losing, because he jumped on Benny's hair, pulling it.

"Agh!" Benny yelled, running all over the place until he eventually bonked his head on a tree, collapsing, unconscious.

A moment of silence scattered across the arena before Rory whooped, and people laughed. Ethan rubbed his temple, but clapped anyway - he had to admit, it was quite the show.

"Don't let me do that again, please?" Benny groaned as his friends helped him on the bus.

Erica smirked. "Oh that is definitely going to have to happen again."

Benny paled, but Ethan just swung his arm around Benny's shoulder. "Just not alone."

They laughed, and went on the bus as it drove into the sunset.

A/N- I laughed a little, which I think is the best way to end the story.

Thanks for joining me on this story, and I cannot wait to tell more stories to you in 2016.

Review and thanks for reading!
