"What are you doing?" Asked Tonya, rubbing her eyes a little.

"I was trying to use up the roll of film." She said standing up. "And you scared the crap out of me." Quickly she raised the camera to her eye and took the picture of Tonya, suprising her, and quickly ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

 

Poopsie stood in the hallway for a moment, looking around her. "Hmm, who's next?" to her right, Jed's room, to her left, Sally's. She turned to her right, walking towards the sounds of snoring coming from a room down the hall. She opened the door, not too worried that the sleeping Jed would hear her, since she is rather dead to the world when she sleeps. Jed never heard her come in, she didn't notice the flash when it went off, or hear Poopsie giggle as she left, closing the door behind her. "This would be perfect blackmail" she said to herself, "If I didn't already have a bunch of pictures of her like this." Jed was the easiest to get sleeping pictures of because she slept so soundly.

 

One by one, Poopsie snuck into each person's room, including Techno. Just as she was about to pushed the button, he threatened to give her computer a virus if she took the picture. She took it anyway, and smiled sweetly at him. "Well, if you put one on it, you will just have to take it off." She giggled at him as she skipped out his room, after taking the picture and blinding him with the flash.

 

Later that morning, after everyone had been rudely awakened by the flash of Poopsie's camera, the girls were sitting around the table. "What were you taking those pictures for anyway Poopsie?" Tonya asked.

 

She shrugged and looked at the camera sitting beside her "I was just using up the rest of this film. I'm thinking that we should start an offical Photo Album."

 

"That sounds like fun." Said Sally taking a sip of her orange juice.

"Maybe we should put in the photos of that party we had at Poopsie's house a few years ago?" Jed grinned and looked at Dee.

 

Poopsie laughed. "I don't think so." Just as the words were said, Alec came up behind her, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her cheek, a bit of his black hair, escaped from the tight ponytail it was in, brushed her neck. Poopsie turned around and smiled at him. "You going to work?"

 

He nodded. "Yeah.." he answered placing his black hat ontop of his head and straighting it.

 

"Could you do me a favor then?" She batted her eyes at him and reached for the film on the table. "Would you drop this off for me on your way?"

 

"Sure." He nodded. She stood up and wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him gently, "Be careful" she whispered to him, as was the morning ritual everyday before he went to work.

A few days later, Alec's black corvette atopped infront of WalMart. He walked back to the photo department. "Hi" A cute little blonde said from behidn the counter with a smile. "Can I help you?"

 

"Yeah, I dropped some pictures off the other day. Are they ready?"

"Ok, just a minute." She answered and walked to a large metal filing cabinet where they held all the pictures that had been developed. She looked at him again "Name?"

 

"Black" he answered, and as he said the name, the girl suddently frowned. "Umm, just a minute." She walked back to a man standing next to the one hour photo machine. "That's the guy." She whispered to him. The man looked at him and then back at the girl. "Ok, I'll talk to him." He walked over to file cabinet and opened it. .

 

"We had a little problem with your photos, Sir."

 

"Oh?"

 

"Yeah." The man answered pulling a photo pocket from the drawer and walking towards him. He handed Alec the pocket.

 

"What kind of problem?" He asked opening it. The man did not respond, and Alec pulled the pictures out of their holder. He looked at the first few pictures, that seemed perfectly normal, and then he saw it. A picture of Tonya, and a person he assumed to be Zarbon by the way Tonya was hanging on him. He blinked and looked at the picture. For some reason in this picture, Zarbon was blue, and his hair was green. The man saw the picture and started appogetically.

 

"There are about 4 pictures in there of him. I don't know why that happened. Apperently something happened when we sent them out to be developed. Maybe it was overexposed. I don't know. " He shrugged.

 

Alec continued flipping through the pictures and found another picture of Tonya hanging on the blue Zarbon and one of Zarbon and Techno playing on the computer, and then the one Poopsie had taken the morning she had taken pictures of all of them in bed.

 

"We won't charge you for the pictures." The man offered after a moment of Alec not talking.

 

"Hmm?" He looked up. "Oh, thanks." He walked away, still looking at the three pictures.

 

Once he reached corvette he flipped through the pictures more, and found a group photo of all of them. In this one, Zarbon looked normal. He frowned and put them in the passenger seat and drove home.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As he pulled up to the house, he saw Poopsie sitting on the front porch waiting for him and she hugged him as he walked up to the door. They held hands as the walked into the kitchen, and Poopsie noticed the photos in his hand. "Oh hey you picked up the pictures."

 

"Yeah, but something went wrong with them."

"What?" She took the pictures from him and opened the pocket... slowly she flipped through the pictures, seeing the pictures of Zarbon, but not thinking anything of it. "What's wrong with them?" she asked looked up at him. He blinked and looked at her.

"You didn't notice anything strange about the pictures of Zarbon?"

 

She shook her head. "No... What about them?"

Alec looked at her confused and took the pictures back. He found the picture of Zarbon sleeping and held it up to her. "He's blue.."

 

Poopsie shrugged. "So? she turned around and walked over to the cabinet and pulled down a glass from it."

"What do you mean, So?" he asked. "You don't think it's weird that he has blue skin and green hair in this picture?"

 

"No, not really. I wanted to catch him by suprise in that picture.. and I did."

 

Alec looked at the picture, confused. Suddenly it dawned on her and she turned around with a little grin on her face. "You've never seen him like that, have you?"

 

"Like what?"

 

"Oh my gosh." She laughed. "You don't know do you?"

"Know what?"

 

Poopsie ran into the other room, calling back behind her. "Hang on a second." She giggled and ran upstairs to Tonya's room and knocked on the door. Suddenly she heard a loud thud.

 

"Hang on a minute!" Tonya called hurridly. when she finally opened the door, her hair was ruffled and Zarbon was still laying in bed with a guilty look on his face.

 

Poopsie decided to ignore what she was thinking and looked at them "Hey could you two come downstairs for a minute? I just realized Alec has never seen Zarbon in his normal form."

 

"He hasn't?" Tonya asked.

 

"No." Said Poopsie shaking her head.

 

"Ok. " We'll be right down. Tonya closed the door and as she did, Poopsie heard Zarbon say "That was close" and Tonya giggled.

 

Poopsie went downstairs to find Alec sitting at the kitchen table with the 4 pictures sitting infront of him. She sat down beside him. "Umm, Alec, there's something I need to tell you."

 

"Ok." he answered, only half listening to her, and stilling looking at the pictures.

"You know how Zarbon looks in those pictures?"

 

He nodded

 

"Well, that's how he really looks. He's an alien."

 

Finally Alec looked up. "He's a what?"

 

"An Alien." She repeated. Just then, Tonya and Zarbon, came down the stairs holding hands. Alec's eyes moved to them and he suddenly jumped up, staring at Zarbon's blue form.

 

Tonya and Poopsie tried not to laugh, seeing the look on Alec's face. "Y...you really are...an..."

 

"Alien." Zarbon finished the sentence. "Yeah."

 

"But then... h... how do you look so.... human all the time?"

 

Zarbon pressed the button on the large watch he wore, and instantly a force field surrounded him, giving him the apperance of being human.

 

"Well... this explains a lot." Alec said after a moment.

 

Later that night, everyone was lounging in the living room. Poopsie busied herself putting the group pictures into a special photo album which she had made. The cover had their logo on it, and the first 10 pages were dedicated to one person and Bowie including a short bio about each person. It also had a picture of the person, in most cases the one Poopsie had taken the morning before she had sent Alec with the pictures. As poopsie put the last picture, the group picture into the book Alec looked up at the others in the room. "Ok everyone... just so I don't have any more suprises, who here isn't completely human?"

 

Zarbon, Tygeress and Poopsie all raised their hands, and Alec looked over at Poopsie, and kissed the top of her pointy ear. "I already knew about you." Then he looked around the room. "And everyone else is human, right?"

 

Jed looked thoughful for a minute and then gave a smile like the cat who swallowed the canary. "Well, Sebastian isn't." she paused. "Infact, he's quite the animal."

 

The girls all rolled their eyes and groaned. "Well he is!" Jed said and wrapped her arms around a blushing Sebastian.

 

"Only with you." he answered.

 

"Ok! TMI!" Poopsie said and covered her ears.

 

"No kidding Jed!" Said Sally, picking up a pillow on the couch and tossing it at her.

 

Jed caught the pillow and threw it back towards her, but instead of hitting Sally, it hit Tonya. Tonya took the pillow and threw it back Jed, who quickly threw it at Poopsie, she ducked and it hit Dee in the head. Instantly, there was a pillow fight/wrestling match as all the girls tackled Jed on the couch. Sebastain quickly jumped up to get out of the way.

 

"Photo opt." Said Alec, and he walked into the kitchen and found Poopsie's camera where she had left it on the counter. He walked back in and took the next photo that would be in the album.
