Yeah...soooooo. I'm back! Betcha missed me-I was gone a whole like 7 hours? Not exactly sure. But I'm pretty sure nobody missed me.

Ash.:I missed you!

Me: Really? -raises eyebrows-

Ash: -sniggers- no.

Me: That's it! You get disqualified this round!

Ash: What?! NO!

Me: I didn't decide it, the fans did.

Ash: You mean your fans hate me?

Me: No, Astrid's fans. LOL suckerrrrrr! Your girlfriend's fans hate you!

Ash: MAAAAAAAAARE! -wails- she's BULLYING me again!

Me: Serves you right! Now I'm GLAD I don't own the Night World.

Claire's PoV

The daybreak mob are restless, chattering and grumbling to one another. I consider tapping the microphone but decide against it and, instead, wallop it as hard as I can. There is a deafening BANG and a handful of people (Iliana, Daphne, Keller and Galen) scramble under chairs before sheepishly emerging unharmed.

"OK! So the losers were the boys, big surprise, NOT!" I smirk at the enfuriated expressions the daybreak boys are wearing. Thierry and Nilsson are the only ones who look unsurprised.

"CHEAT!" Eric bellows

"FIX!" David sobs

"That's unfair! WE ALL KNOW YOU FAVOUR THE GIRLS!" Morgead howls

"I didn't decide. The fans voted on an online poll. The girls won by 79% and the 21% who voted for you were all men trying to salvage the "manly" pride."

They scowl and complain amongst one another. I motion to the ones listening (mostly girls) to cover their ears and whack the poor mike again.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! The fans have voted out..." there is a tense second, "Delos."

Delos stamps a foot and starts tantrumming. Thierry and Nilsson remove him from the room, kicking and screaming.

"Eric." Eric pouts like an aspiring supermodel (albeit an ugly one) and tries to hold back tears.

"And finally, David!"

"BUT I'M MANLY!" Tears pour from David's eyes as he dashes out of the room, sobbing hysterically.

"Dafuq?" Ash and Morgead say, completely synchronised with quizzically raised brows. "HAHA! We weren't eliminated!"

"YET!" Eric admonishes them before fleeing the emotionally scarring scene.

"Okay, so next round, Galen, Eric, David and Delos will help with the cameras, lighting etc." I realise who I've just entrusted the equipment to. "On second thoughts, only Galen is needed, they can stay SAFELY away from the expensive items. AKA anywhere but here."

There are some laughs and I invite Mare and Thierry up onstage.

"This is the last round. You both pick a dare for your team and do it then the fans vote for the winner."

Mare fishes around in the bowl for a long while before closing her fingers around a purple slip of paper with red gel pen writing.

Thierry picks up a pink gift tag with silver calligraphy and clears his throat.

"Dress up as fairy princess angels and shake your asses. On the livestream." he looks distinctly unimpressed which is mildly comical.

Mare smiles, amused, before reading hers.

"Take your tops off. Ash, did you write this?"

Ash blushes painfully red and retreats to the back of the room. "Maybe." he mumbled. "Morgead made me. Don't laugh-peer press-ups are a thing!"

"Don't you mean that 'peer pressure is a thing'?" Mare corrects him.

"STOP EMBARRASSING ME!"

"Okay." Mare nods. "Let's go girls." They strip off their tops to reveal...they're all wearing another top underneath?! HOW COME?!

"HEY! YOU KNEW WHAT DARE YOU'D GET!" James points an accusing finger at Astrid.

"Nope. We're prepared for all sorts of dares! We're wearing wigs in case we had to dye or shave our hair." All of the girls pull them off with a flourish.

"We even ordered custom-made white knickers which say 'CENSORED' in red. Not exactly sure why...it was just a crazy idea of mine."

(A/N: Wouldn't they be SO COOL?! Okay...I'm officially insane)

I nod as Nilsson suddenly pushes a rack of angel costumes into the room.

"LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH!" he yells, "PUT THEM ON OVER YOUR CLOTHES FOR SPEED! I WANT TO GET BACK TO READING VAMPIRE KNIGHT."

"OMIGOD! I fucking LOVE Vampire Knight!" Astrid gasps, "Especially Kaname-He's HOT!"

"Yeah, we ship him and Yuki!" Anne-Lise, Daphne and Jez agree.

"But what about Zero?" Poppy interjects.

"Listen, you wanna live under this roof, YOU DON'T SHIP ZERO AND YUKI. GOT IT?!" Thierry explodes. Questioning stares are fired his way.

"Yeah, I watch Vampire Knight on Netflix."

"He loves it so much, he won't even give me his Netflix password in case I accidentally change the saved time on an episode and GOD FORBID he misses 2 seconds of Zero's torture as a Level D slowly slipping to a Level E. I have to watch terrible quality versions on YouTube with Yuki because we can't find any of the volumes after 1 and 2 in any shops or libraries-believe me, WE'VE LOOKED!"

Nilsson shimmies his wings onto his back. "Okay, turn, shake asses, let's go!"

They shake their miserable-yet admittedly HOT butts for about a second before turning around. "SO WHO WON?!" My wonderful cousin's boyfriend demands, displaying yet again his pleasant, likeable manner.

"Ya, tell us!" My glorious cousin agrees.

"Please." Maggie adds.

I turn to the computer on the desk.

"Anne-Lise. By a long way."

"SHIT!" Galen yells and we gasp. "Here you go." He mutters, reluctantly handing Ash a $50 note. "I'm off to read M rated smuts and lemons." he stalks out and we stare at him. That was really weird.

Nobody's PoV

Kaname woke up.

What a weird dream!
