When the great eclipse plunged the world into darkness, the vampire race erupted

in a civil war.

The bloodthirsty fury battled with the enlightened elders for domination of the

undead.

In desperation, the elders gathered up those young vampires that could be saved

and entrusted them to me.

To humanize them, to tame their instincts, and teach them how to live

mortals.

Vampires don't know how to love.

They only know craving.

You got nice hair.

You got the whole package.

I had a girlfriend when I was human.

She had hair all the way down to her... Well, you know.

What was she, a hula dancer?

You think you're smarter than me, don't you?

I've known plenty of chicks who thought they were smarter than me, who came

around to thinking at certain things.

I was plenty smart enough.

Well, if you're real lucky, I'll run that smart check on you later.

I'll remind you.

Oh, and Carl?

Yeah? Some chicks can peck your eyes out.

For vampires, courtship is a deadly ritual of stalking and preying.

Humans are also known to stalk.

And pray.

What do you want, Nick?

Take a guess.

How many times have I told you it's over?

Just because it's over doesn't mean we can't still hang out together, does it?

Yes.

It's like a poem that best expresses the way you feel about love.

Well, here, maybe I can help you find one.

Oh, my... I'm sorry.

Nick! Nick! I'll clean it up. No, go!

But despite their predatory natures, it is possible for vampires

to fall in love.

In vampire lore, they call this person the One.

You understand me?

Yes. We really haven't had a chance to talk since your incident.

Incident that we're calling it now? You crossed over the line into the day

school. We both know that.

The rules are established for a reason, Drew.

Yeah, to make my life miserable.

I know that's how it must seem to you now.

But it's for your own protection as well as the day students.

By adhering to the rules now,

Maybe someday, this experiment will... Cost me my one chance at happiness with

her.

Then it isn't meant to be.

Are we clear on this?

Yeah.

You've been thinking about her again, haven't you?

Meryl, could you stop playing mind reader for two seconds, please?

I can't help it.

I'm drawn to her.

What you're feeling isn't love.

You're just being bloodthirsty.

You can't have a relationship with someone who doesn't even know that you

And she can't know that you exist.

Mail call.

Letter for Sherry Woods.

Why do you have my mail?

Oh, it was in your box all day, and since I was heading this way, I... Since

when have you been heading in the direction of the girls' dorm?

Just ask me first next time, okay?

Did I mention that I give a mean pedicure?

Hey, courier boy, I got a message for you.

You want me to leave?

Message delivered.

That's some pretty fancy handwriting.

There's no signature.

I think it's a love letter.

Could be a total psycho.

They say that love is blind, but I think love is light, like the sun.

You chase the darkness from my very soul.

A soul I've never had.

Hey, memes.

Why are you trying to fatten me up?

What?

Pints of Cherry Lewis ice cream? I didn't put that there.

Someone's definitely after you.

Okay,

this is going to be way too

intense for me.

Well, if it isn't Mr. Charm himself.

You just don't know when to quit, do you?

I never give up on a good thing.

Listen, you say it's over, but I never quit on you. You quit on me.

Okay, maybe I have been a little bit too harsh.

Does that mean you'll give me another chance?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Maybe.

Roses, the ice cream, all very nice.

Hey, no sweat.

But the letter, that was something else.

Yeah, the letter. But Nick, tell me, when you said you didn't think you had a

soul, what did you mean by that?

That depends on the context. Let me refresh my memory. Don't be so

There's nothing mysterious about my feelings for you.

My heart's wide open.

Maybe we should continue this conversation.

Over dinner?

Sure, we can talk.

Pick me up from the library tomorrow night, say, seven?

Okay, I'll see you then.

Hey, Nick.

Hey, loser. You send stuff to my girl again, you're dead meat. You understand?

What?

Just stay away from her.

Any time now.

Winner gets my heart.

Rude, rude, rude.

I know what you're going through.

No, you don't. Yeah, I do.

It's a classic case of forbidden love, right? Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare. It's very impressive.

Thank you.

What if I told you that I knew a way that you could connect with Sherry?

What do you care?

What do I care?

You're one of the guys, right? If you're hurting, I'm hurting.

See, I know a plan that doesn't break any of the rules.

Yeah, in my dreams.

Close.

Not in yours, but in hers.

You actually making an offer to help, or are you just messing with me in your

typical sleazy manner?

Do you want to know or not?

Fine.

You know that Meryl has the ability to dream slide.

With her help, you would get into Sherry's dreams.

Make yourself known to her.

A vampire should never use their special abilities in matters of the heart.

But it's okay to cheat at chess.

Absolutely not.

You need her permission to enter her dreams. You can't just barge in

Look, how's it done?

Listen.

Walking around in a person's dream can really screw them up for life.

Oh, be careful.

Once the portal's been opened, there's always a chance that someone or

might follow you in. Look, all I want to do is connect with her.

Right. Meryl, I need for Sherry to know that I exist.

Even if it's only in a dream.

And then what?

I don't know.

But it's got to be better than the way I feel now.

Drew, there's no shortcut to love.

But if you feel you've got to do it this way... Don't do it, Meryl!

I'm going to help you.

First, you're going to take my hand.

And then you're going to put your hand on Sherith's forehead.

Nothing's happening.

Some say love is blind, but I say love is light.

Like the sun, you drive the darkness from my soul.

Sherry, I need to tell you something.

You remember the person to rescue you from loneliness?

I think that that person is... Hi, I can skip backwards. Wanna see?

Here, hold this.

That's very good.

Thanks. My name's Sherry.

Sherry?

You're Sherry! That's my name, so wear it out.

Sherry, I need to see you older again. Can you do that for me?

How come you're so white?

Drew!

You need to come out!

Not too soon!

We're late for class.

Yeah, but... But then, this little Sherry showed up, and she even gave me a

present.

A present?

You didn't take it, did you?

No, it was just this.

We have to put it back.

Last night I had the strangest dream.

Did I just stammer?

I haven't stammered since I was six years old.

Whoa, you were a troubled gal.

No.

My dad was so freaked out about it, he took me to all these speech therapists.

So embarrassing.

So did the therapist cure you?

She gave me this little blue marble to hold in my hand.

Whenever I felt nervous, I was supposed to think of the marble.

Next thing you know, my hammer was gone.

So are we still on for dinner?

I...

To two.

What's up with you, Porky?

Get away from me. You're missing my father.

I really screwed up, didn't I?

We can't just leave her like that.

Need I tell you? I told you.

Would you like me to go scavenging in your dreams?

Anytime.

No doubt you'd learn a few things.

Oh, don't go anywhere.

We're going to need you.

Why am I ever white?

Anything else I can do for you? Keep an eye out for Dr. Murdock. The last thing

we need is for him to find out about this.

Got it?

Fine.

I live to serve.

Okay, go in and put the marble back.

But make sure you give it to little Sherry and no one else.

Here.

Let's get this over with.

Hello, Drew.

Welcome back to Terry's dream.

Here, have a rose.

Weird, isn't it?

Is Terry having a nightmare?

Or are you her nightmare?

Who are you?

I'm a little teacup, short and round.

What kind of thing could cause you...

Now we see eye to eye.

Aren't you going to give me my marble?

No, Drew, give it to me.

She's supposed to give it to me.

Drew, don't listen to her.

No, it's mine.

No, no, no, it's mine, mine.

I have to go.

Come on, please stay and watch the sunrise with me.

I'm not supposed to be here.

Dawn's my favorite time of day.

When the sun chases the darkness away.

Letter.

Nick didn't write it, you did.

I haven't seen a sunrise in years.

We live in darkness.

Except when I'm with you.

Drew! You must leave now.

Remember me.

When vampires feel desire, they cannot rest until their hunger has been

satisfied. Feel it, you know? Did you give the marble back?

Yeah. What else happened?

Um, little Sherry. Her voice was different. It was, um, it was scary.

And she called me by name.

So someone did follow you in.

But real love is patient.

It gives life instead of feeding from it.

When a vampire discovers the one, this difference becomes crystal clear.

Hey, I can skip backwards.

Want to see?
