Juli Morlan lay on her bed, looking up at a familiar poster on her ceiling. Marshall Lee Abadeer of Aaa from the TV show Adventure Time.

"Why can't you be real, Marshall? You are all I've ever wanted in a guy." She sighed.

"Juliana, te necesito abajo!" Her brother, Rindle, yelled up to her. "Ahora, por favor!" Juli was the only one who spoke English at home. Rindle didn't seem to understand why he should even bother to learn the language properly, since he didn't speak with people much outside of his work, never went outside much, and when he did at work he normally had a translator.

She groaned. She loved her older brother, she really did, but with his mad scientist-inventor ways, ever since Mami and Pap died, it sometimes seemed like she was the one taking care of him rather than the other way around.

"I am coming, Rin!" She called, sliding off of the mound of her pillows, shooting one last glance at the god-like vampire that looked down on her, eyes liquid rubies and a cute smirk on his face, guitar in hand as he gazed at her.

She dived down the stairs, hearing the tell-tale sound of something exploding in Rindle's lab. She grabbed the fire extinguisher off of the wall in the kitchen, flying down the hall towards his lab. "Dios mio, please, please do not let there be a fire!" She prayed as she threw open the door.

She charged in, fire extinguisher spraying white foam all over the room. "Vuelve, Juli!" Rindle screamed, diving behind his desk. "Aléjate mientras puedas!"

But it was too late. Whatever contraption he'd been working on exploded in a flurry of sparks. It shot out a handful of bolts of green and yellow energy, several of which hit Juli in rapid succession. She gave a strangled scream and disappeared with an odd slurping noise, leaving behind only her purple ring.
