"Dinner was delicious, as expected," James told Mrs. Jacobsen as he shoved moussaka in his mouth.

She laughed and glanced at her son. "I wish that one would eat it."

"He'll learn," James replied confidently, "or else." He glanced teasingly at Blake. "But really, vegetarian? I mean, that's no bacon, ham, steak, moussaka..."

"No animals being killed," Blake interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Luke put in.

Blake chuckled, used to the teasing. It had been like this since he went vegetarian in seventh grade.

Conversation went on for about another hour and the group settled down on the couch to watch Doctor Who. Mrs. Jacobsen made popcorn and they had Dalek shaped cupcakes to celebrate the premier.

The show began, and everyone sang along to the theme song - except Aaron, because he's a loser.

"OOOOO WEEEE OOOOO," we chorused. "Come on, Aaron, sing with us!" Saffron said, elbowing him.

"No, it's stupid."

"You're stupid."

"Shut up, it's starting."

*****

"I can't believe Missy's back. I mean come on, she died last season."

"Yeah, and the Daleks did the same every season ever. It's how the show works now."

"Moffat," everyone said in unison.

"We should probably get going guys, it's almost 9," Liam said with a yawn.

"You can't possibly be tired this early. You didn't even have work today!" Saffron insisted.

"It was the plane, Saf. I- is that someone in the window?"

Everyone's heads snapped to where he was looking, where sure enough there was a woman staring at them.

She wore an emerald green shawl and a deep purple hat that clashed horrifically with her bright blue sweater. The rest of her was quickly obscured as she ducked out of sight as soon as she saw the others looking.

"Well that was odd," Saffron said simply.

"And you're being obvious," Aaron retorted.

"Children, children. Can't we all get along? It's just a loony toon stalker, nothing to worry about," said James in a singsong voice. "Now, I'm going to go out and see what she was doing, I want you all to stay here. Kapeesh?"

"Kapeesh," we chorused dully.

"Okay." He strode out the door, shutting it quietly behind him.

The two families crowded around the window, watching his every move as he walked around the back of the house. He peered into bushes and into the neighbors' yards, but there was no sign of the mysterious lady from before. He walked around the other side of the house, and we lost sight of him. Then, with a sudden bang, the front door flew open.

Having relocated to the kitchen to track James, the group ran to the door to hear whatever James had to say. However, it wasn't James at the door, but yet another strangely dressed woman.

She was younger than the other one, and wore a purple scarf and an orange leopard print bathrobe. She looked frazzled to say the least, and was panting. Something about her seemed familiar to Mrs. Jacobsen.

"Sandy?" Sandy O'brian was Saffron's neighbor, a woman of 35 with two kids. Apparently her outfit wasn't that strange to her, as she had evidently just run two blocks in it.

"Delilah, I... I heard the sound... James here... You okay?" She was panting so hard she could barely speak.

"James?" Saffron and Aaron asked at the same time. Sandy looked at them nervously and the pair bolted for the door.

"No, guys, wait! We don't kno-" Mrs. Jacobsen tried to speak, but they were already gone.

"Shit," Blake said. He leaned his head out the door and looked around, but didn't venture any further.

Suddenly, a scream came from the back of the house.

"Saffron?" Blake yelled. He ran outside, followed by the others.

They came to the back yard, but all they found there was the hat the woman had been wearing.

Saffron was gone.
