"THERE IS A FREAKIN' SNAKE IN MY BED!!!! OH MY GOD, SOMEONE GET IT OUT OF THERE!!!!!!" Ari screamed, standing on a chair in her room. "GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!"
Dani walked in casually. "Oh dear, did Casper get out of his cage? Awwww, come here Casper, did you scare poor Ari? Now now, I'm sure you can do better than that..." She said sickeningly sweet while picking up her albino snake, a new addition to the family. No one had protested when she walked home with him one day, so she kept him.
Casper slithered off Ari's bed and onto Dani's outstreched arm, until he was coiled around her shoulders. "Ari, why in the world would you be afraid of such a sweet snake? He's completely harmless." Dani asked innocently, looking at the formerly-terrified and now angry Ariella, who refused to get off her chair.
Ari glared at her. "Get that damn snake out of my room! What is wrong with you?"
Dani continued to look innocent. "Nothing, I just like snakes."
"And our parents let you bring that...thing into the house? And keep it?!"
Dani nodded. "Sure, why not. He's harmless."
Ari climbed off her chair and glared. "This means war."
Dani selims-ed. "Oh good! I've always wanted to be in one of those!"
Ari pointed at the door. Dani held Casper a little closer to her, and got a feeling of pure joy when Ari backed off. She then walked out of Ari's room, intending to make battle plans in her own.

Sarah and Maggie frolicked in the door after going outside to pick flowers to sacrifice the to the Toaster. After baking them in the Toaster oven and turning them into ashes, they danced around the Toaster, sprinkling them around the Toaster, while singing: "Hail Toaster, full of heat, thou art our Lord. Blessed art thou amongst appliances and blessed art the grains of thy little slots. Holy Toaster, Mother of All, pray for us and psycosis, now and at the hour of our death. Ah-lien."
Just then they saw Ari walk by in camoflague clothes, and stared. That didn't seem like Ari.
"Do you know where the barbed wire is?" she asked thw twins, who were now quite confused.
"It's in the basement, I think." Sarah said
"Silly, we don't HAVE any barbed wire!" Maggie corrected
"Then what is Stinky's cage made out of?" Sarah asked
"That's CHICKEN wire, you dumbass." Maggie said
"Oh yeah..." Sarah replied
Ari shrugged. "Doesn't make a difference. Chicken wire'll do." She said and went off on her merry way. The twins shrugged and continued their Toaster worshipping ceremony.
A little later, Dani walked by, dressed in some weird black getup that made her look very evil. After a moment, Magie recognised them as Sith Lord robes. She wore a gold-coloured pentagram around her neck and looked very pissed off.
"I'm going to the store. Would you too mind making sure Casper doesn't get out again? I don't want him eating the little twins or anything. And make sure Ari stays out of my room." She said the name "Ari" as if it was as evil as the microwave, which made Sarah and Maggie wonder more.
"Um, okay." They said in unison.
"Great! Um, don't knock any of the candles or incents over, okay? I don't want the room burned down before I get back." She said. Sarah and Maggie had to keep themselves from giggling when she said the word "room" because her Bohemian accent made it sound like "rum". Dani looked at them strangely, but then left.
"I wonder what's going on. First Ari turns up looking like she's going to war and Dani walks around looking like she's going to put a curse on someone." Sarah said thoughtfully.
"Well, let's have a look!" Maggie said.
The two dropped the rest of the flower ashes and dashed off to where Ari and Dani's rooms were. Ari and Dani's room were across a rather long hall from each other, with Sarah and Maggie's room in between. Ari's doorway was shielded in chicken wire and there were slingshots and such that were being set up in Dani's direction. Ari apparently had set up a baracade in front of her door as well, and the twins couldn't see what was inside.
Now curious, they cautious opened Dani's door, which looked normal except for the huge "X" in crime scene tape on it. Inside, the room was painted a dark blue, and there were candle holders everywhere. Many different colours of candles were lit, and there were a few incents that looked like they were about to be burned hanging around. Her "Book of Shadows" was open, as was an old spell book. There was also a scrap of notebook paper that Dani seemed to be using to take notes on the spells. Maggie figured she was trying to make one of her own. Sarah thought it was a declaration of war, but neither could really tell because it was written in a language similar to phonetic Navajo.
Sarah fell to her knees in the center of the huge pentagram (made of electrical tape) in the center of the room. "I feel you! I hear you! I...I..." Just then, Dani walked into the room.
"Sarah, I have a little proposition for you." Dani said eerily
Sarah, dazed on the floor, arms extended towards the ceiling, chanted, "I feel you! I...I know you! I...I..."
While Sarah was still acting possessed, Dani flipped a switch on the wall, causing an electrical surge to up the wall and to the light fixture above the center of the pentagram, which contained Sarah. A huge burst of light sprang from the fixture into Sarah. Maggie was blinded temporarily, and Dani suddenly collapsed onto her bed, looking rather dead. When Maggie regained her composure, she rushed over to Sarah, propped up her seemingly lifeless head, gazed deeply into her eyes (*Maggie* I do not gaze at Sarah!), and softly spoke, "Sarah! Come back to me!"
Sarah's eyes fluttered open, and she said, "Hi cutie!" she then stuck out her tounge, *thippeted* Maggie, stood up, and smacked Maggie on the butt, then walked out of the room.
Maggie blinked, stood up, and looked at the scortch mark on the floor, blew out a candle that was about to burn down a curtain, and walked out of the room. Just as she stepped out of the room, she was hit...by a flying egg, making her stumble into the corner of a wall. She went down hard.
"OW! What the-?" Maggie excalimed as she felt blood trickle from just abover her eyebrow
Ari peeped out and looked sheepish. "Sorry Maggs, I thought you were Dani."
Maggie blinked again. "DANI!" She paused. "I should clean this up first..."
Maggie held her hand to her forehead, and went into her bathroom. She cleaned the wound and put some gauze over it, held on by tape that almost looked like duct tape. When she walked out, she gaped at the sight of "Tempus Mori" painted in large red letters on the walls of the hall. She found Sarah looking very dazed and sitting proped up againt the wall, her hands covered in red paint, and a small trickle coming from the side of her mouth. The paint brush laid not too far from her hands.
"SARAH! What do you think you're doing??" Maggie yelled
"I'm excercising my demons!" Sarah mumbled
"MOM! SARAH'S GONE NUTS!" Maggie yelled
Scully walked up the stairs, and then was hit by a UFE (unidentified flying egg). She put her hand to her head, and it came away red.
"Oh my God, I'm bleeding!" Scully shouted, then looked closer at the blood. "Oh my God, MY DYE!!!" she immediately forget what Maggie had said about Sarah and ran out the door and all the way to the salon.
"Whoops..." Ari said as she saw Scully run away.
"Good one, dumbass." Maggie said
"What the hell is wrong with Sarah?" Ari asked as she walked over. She leaned down to get a closer look at her, when suddenly Sarah's mind cleared, and her hands shot up to grab Ari's neck and start choking her.
"sarah.......stop.....*noise*.....ple-.....*noise*.... stop...." Ari gasped
"What in the name of the Toaster do you think you're doing?!" Maggie exclaimed "This is strange, even for you!"
Suddenly Dani walked out there and said "Drop it, slave girl." and grinned.
Sarah dropped Ari...hard.
Maggie looked extremely confused. "What?"
No one answered at first, but Dani grabbed Sarah's wrist and pulled her into her room, slamming the door after them. This sparked Ari's imgination, and suddenly she hit Maggie in the back of the head with her fist, and Maggie blacked out.
