Cerin blushed head to toe, and stuck out a nervous finger to poke the 'thing'. "ahh..b-but...it's....." he looked up at erik for a moment, and turned his head away "b-but its so short..."

"Exactly!" Erik said, giggling."You can wear shorts or something under it..But you'd look sooooo cute.."

"You would, actually." Ari laughed."It's fitting, oddly.. I could help you shave your legs, I know it's an odd thought having someone do that for you, but I know it's hard to get some spots without cutting yourself.."

Cerin stood there, feeling the attack from all sides, "bu-but....."he looked at Ari, "that be weird...your a girl and all..." he blushed "not..that...I dont know...just...I dont have a choice in this anymore do I.." he pouted cutely.

"Ceci, Ari's a boy." Erik said, laughing."He does make a really convincing girl, doesn't he?He's my ex-boyfriend, Ceci."

Cerin blushed "th- but shes so pretty and all!" he looks at her nervously, "oh dear....I'm going mad arn't I" he worries for a while, backing into the clothing rack, "ahh!" he turns to look at it in fear.

"Nah, it's a common mistake." Ari laughed."You thinking I'm a girl means I'm doing my job right, that's all."

Erik pulled Cerin out of the clothing rack and laughed."I'm getting you this skirt and you will wear it..Now, let's pay for our stuff and go home."

"wh-why do I always have to do weird stuff...I m- I mean all this is normal for you.....it seems...." he pulled out a wad of bills from his pocket, some dropping on teh ground, "ah! sorry!" he said kneeling down to pick it up.

"I'll call them..What's your address, Erik?" Ari said, pulling his cellphone out of a cute dark raspberry-colored messenger bag he carried.

"Ah..Ceci, do you know your address?" Erik laughed."I don't know it.."

Cerin finished picking up his money and stood, "ahh..." he listed off his adress "I think thats it..." he blushed, "E-Erik....." he didn't look up "ahh....l-let me pay for that..." he held out his hands to take the clothing from erik "even the freaky skirt thing, you weirdo" he sighed, a small smile on his lips.

Ari dialed a phone number and smiled as he heard a deep voice on the other end curse in german, then say hello."Ah, Ferdie!I found Erik..Yeah, he came back too!He wants us all to hang out at where he lives now, if you can spread the news to the others.." Ari said the address, made sure the man on the other end had gotten it written down, and then hung up."He should be there in about 30 minutes with the others, so you have plenty of time to get home."

Cerin returned holding a few bags, a blush on his cheeks, "well might as well head back and get this over with..." he sighed, not looking forward to his first group human encounter. he figeted with the bags, looking down, his hands shaking terribly.

Erik started walking off back home, with Ari by his side."C'mon, Ceci!Ferdi always comes early, so we'll need to hurry!" He laughed."You know, Ceci, I really should turn my 'coffin' into something nice..Maybe a flowerbed, or a chest for my room or something."

"Ah, Bernard was nice enough to actually bury you in a coffin?" Ari said, seeming surprised.

"I thought it was him!Well, not so much of a coffin than a wooden box big enough to place a human body in.." Erik laughed.

"Yeah, he recently got put in the mental hospital, after him running into all of us..He's also being investigated on by the cops for our murders, we didn't get to kill him ourselves, but he is still getting what he deserved.." Ari said rather casually, fiddling with a cute little skeleton charm on his phone's strap.

Cerin had difficulties talking, everyone around him seemed so comfertable with being zombies, what was a guy to do. He held onto the bags tightly, shaking voilently, "ahh... I should make snacks..I jsut moved in and theres no snacks..what if they all get mad and hungrey and.." he continued to talk to himself quietly, worring over not the zombies coming to his house, but what he was going to feed them.

Erik tapped Ceci's shoudler gently."Ceci, I SAID, I'm going to make my coffin into a new flowerbed..I'm sure you'd like that, correct?It's quite large, so you should have pleanty of room..We could paint it, if you don't like the plain look."

Cerin was shook from his thoughts "f-flower bed?" he blushed, "ah...I I guess......" he looked up at erik his face coloured pink "Well I was going to plant some flowers where I foudn you anyways...." he smiles a bit "but soommeone had to pop out of the ground and ruin that for me"

"Ah, maybe we should plant my favorite flowers there, then." Erik laughed. "Forget-me-nots.Quite fitting, if you think about it, seeing the location..And much more cheery than black roses."

A man sprinted by on the street that seemed a tiny bit odd..He had sort of faded dark brown hair, was almost literally pure white-skinned, and wore an eyepatch, and wore a pair of faded, dirty jeans, a brown t-shirt with white text on the front, reading "Death is not always forever".

"Ah, Ferdi!Slow down, will you?!" Ari said, grabbing the back of the man's shirt, stopping him in his tracks.

Ferdinand abruptly stopped and turned around, a look of anger in his eyes very swiftly turning into immense joy, when he saw Erik.He hugged the slightly shorter man, almost squealing with joy."Erik!You really did come back!I missed you all this time!"

Cerin nodded, likeing the fower idea, when His new friend got tackled, "AH ERIK!" he worried, not seeing the whole thing at first, ""E-erik?" he looked at the two curiously "ahh......another one...?" he asked, backing away, "maybe I should have bought that zombie survivle set that I saw......V said that zombies wernt real...but...." continues backing away, into a fence, "I should run for my life now..y.yeah.." he got ready to bolt out of there.

Erik hugged his friend back and gave the pale man a friendly kiss on the cheek, laughing."I missed you too, Ferdinand..You really haven't changed at all, except for the whole missing an eye thing."

Ferdinand laughed."Yeah..Lost my depth perception, but hey, at least now I get to pick my eye color whenever I want..one eye at least.Who's this cute little skittish beauty?"

"Ah, that's Cerin.He's not used to big groups of people, so don't make too many sudden movements, or he might go absolutely insane, like 'ol Bernie." Erik laughed evily."C'mon, Cerin..He won't bite, this is Ferdinand, one of my best friends..At least Kelsey won't scare you as much, him being a vegetarian..If he still is."

"He still is." Ari laughed. "He's who kept us in line when we first woke up, scared the crap out of us to keep us from eating people..And gave me a phobia of frying pans.Painful things.."

Cerin stood against teh fence for a while longer, "yo-your friend?" he walked a little closer, still ready to bolt, just in case, "I.." he didnt know what to say, "please dont eat me?" he said, now more as a greeting than anything, he still shook, his hands clutching the bags tightly, "M...my...my house isn't to far form here..its teh one with the giant hole in the yard...." he didn't look up, afraid to meet any of their eyes.

"Ah..You should change clothes when you get home, Erik.." Ferdinand said, playfully pulling at Erik's pants."Get out of these old raggy things.."

"I will, I will." Erik laughed, his cheeks turning blue in embarrassment.

Cerin walked into his yard, looking over teh the hole in the ground before unlocking his door, "ahh go-go on inside..I guess..." he said, looking at the coffin "neighbors will think Im crazy...." he sighed, walking in himself and dropping the bags on a nearby box, "sorrry its a mess...I just moved and all.." he walked to the kichen and poked a cupcake, "I guess they can snack on these..." he pulled out his yellow forsting and covrd each one, using some black icing to make smiles on each one. "there~ happy things!"

All three of the zombies sat down on the carpet and began talking, before there was a knock on the door.

"Ah, Ceci!I think my other friends are here..How many of us woke up, Ferdi?" Erik said, glancing from the door to Ferdinand.

"Only six of us woke up..Taylor and Vladmir never woke up, not yet at least." Ferdi sighed sadly.

"Ah, So the should be Harley, Kelsey and Lavi..I'll go change." Erik said, running off and changing into a soft black t-shirt printed with white skulls, and a pair of matching boxers, and came back."Ah, much better.." He said, grinning widely.

Cerin came out wiht a tray of extreamly happy looking food, some cupcakes, a few suckers, and some left over cake, all with smiley faces on it, "eat these...not me..okay?" he said, putting the food on a box, like it was a temporary coffee table. He walked to the door, peeking through it, scared shitless by what he found there, "ahh...m-more z-z-zombies.." he said to himself mostly, opening the door all the way, and then running to hide behind Erik. "Just..s..stay infront of me..o-okay.." he said feeling a little bit safer now.

Harley, the first to enter the house, was very, very thin and had light brown hair, and light grey eyes. Other than his pale skin, he looked quite normal..Just a bit underweight, and he had a bruise on the back of his head, though it was hidden by his fluffy hair. he wore a plain cream t-shirt and was currently in pajama pants, of the same color as his shirt, with light brown vertical stripes, and he was barefoot.

Kelsey was next, he had cute light brown eyes, grey-ish tinted pale skin and long black hair, pulled into two cute pigtails hanging over his chest, and would be mistaken easily for a girl if it wasn't for his boyish laugh.He wore a cute, short lavender dress with no sleeves over a pair of cute capri-cut jeans, and a lavender beanie cap, to hide the hole on his forehead, which even under the cap he had covered with his long bangs.

Lavi was the third, and he was the palest, having barely any signs of ever being skin-colored at all.He had bright red hair and bright blue eyes, and wore a white tank top and camo cargo pants, along with a pair of dorky hawaiian-printed blinding lime flip-flops.

"Hey, guys!" Erik grinned."We have cupcakes, if you want one~ We're kind of celebrating my first day alive in 5 years." He laughed, as his friends all sat around the makeshift coffee table, each taking a cupcake, leaving a spot around the table for Ceci to sit.

Cerin sat next to Erik, shaking violently, his eyes closed tightly, trying to make the Zombies less zombie like. "Why...why are there so many dead people in my house!" he asked the air around him, he poked at his own cupcake, stareing at its smile and hopeing it would make him feel safer. It didn't.

"s-s-so is everyone here dead?" he asked just to make sure "I mean..exept for me...well" he poked at his own chest "not that I shouldn't be dead with how many holes are in me...but still" he looked around the table, blushing, "just dont feast on my flesh okay!" he worried.
