A banner reads "TVF 2: LARTEN CREPSLEY, FATHER OF THE BRIDE PREMIERE!".
The crowds scream, the cameras flash, a white Cadillac Escalade pulls up and an sexy author wearing a long glittery red dress jumps out.
ROXYPONY: HEY EVERYONE!
CROWD: WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? (crowd throws stuff at sexy author)
ROXYPONY: I'M SORRY, I'M LAZY!
CROWD: WE WANT VAMPIRES! WE WANT VAMPIRES! WE WANT VAMPIRES! WE WANT-
ROXYPONY: OKAY OKAY HERE'S YOUR VAMPIRES!
(Roxypony jumps back into Escalade and zooms away, and another Escalade (blue) pulls up. Out comes Darren and Harkat)
DARREN AND HARKAT: HI! DID YOU MISS US?
CROWD: YES!
(A third Escalade (black) carrying Mika and Arrow pulls up.)
MIKA AND ARROW: WOOHOO!

(Another Escalade (red) brings Larten and Seba.)
LARTEN: HELLO HUMANS!

Okay, all i have to say is that i'm SO sorry that i took so long to post this. I said i'd update often in the summer, and I haven't. I haven't even been overly busy, just lazy. This chapter was just really slow to write, and HUGE THANKS TO ELENAFROMTHEWOODS WHO HELPED ME A LOT WITH THIS STORY AND WITHOUT HER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE WEEKS TILL THIS WAS FINISHED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
This first chapter is sort of a prologue, and a quick replay of TVF: VOV in case you forgot :P there will be wedding stuff next chapter :)
So you've waited long enough, onto the story!
"GUESS WHAT!" Paris Skyle shrieked as he came speeding into the living room where Darren Shan, Harkat Mulds, Mika Ver Leth, Arrow, Seba Nile, Kurda Smahlt and Larten Crepsley were sitting and watching Family Guy.
"You're moving out?"
"You lost your false teeth?"
"You lost your meds?"
"You won a year's-supply of Bed Head hairproducts?"
"You found...Nemo?"
"I'm done the slideshow!" Paris yelled delightedly.
"Slideshow...?"
"Skiing pictures?" Paris was obviously dissapointed that his friends didn't share his exuberance.
"Is that what you took so many pictures for?" Mr. Crepsley inquired.
"Yep, but some of the videos are Darren's. And the last few are from Arrow's camera."
Everyone remembered all too well the grumpy traveller who'd smashed Paris's camera during a forced interview, forcing him to borrow Arrow's.
Paris coninued: "Remember all the memories? All the laughs we shared? Don't you remember any of it?"
"Of course...It was...only last week!" Harkat consoled.
"I've repressed it already." Mika grumbled.
"Just play the thing." Darren suggested.
After almost half an hour of fiddling around with the laptop and the movie projector, Paris jumped back triumphantly and pressed PLAY. Rascal Flatt's "Life Is A Highway" began to play.
"You couldn't have picked a cheesier song!" Mika groaned.
Despite Mika's disgust, the slideshow began. The title appeared onscreen: "Winter Vacation 08, Golden Horseshoe Ski Resort." and the pictures started flashing by:
- A title card: "DAY 1: ROAD TRIP!"
- Paris grinning as he tossed a sock into his suitcase.
- The group waiting sleepily in the living room with their luggage.
- Seba sleeping on his many suitcases.
- Mika giving the finger.
- Arrow glaring at the camera as he listened to his iPod.
- Kurda pursing his lips and giving the 3-finger "I Love You" sign.
- Darren standing in the hallway with Harkat piggybacking on his shoulders, both grinning and holding ski poles.
- Mr. Crepsley with his mouth open, looking like he'd been scolding as the picture was taken.
- Harkat standing in the fridge, flinging food into his open suitcase.
- A close-up of Seba sleeping, with his mouth wide open.
- Mika and Arrow flicking dead spiders at Kurda who was busy combing his hair.
- Darren standing in the doorway with his mouth open in a silent scream as a horde of Vampires and a Little Person stampeded past him.
- The gang standing in the snow arguing.
- Mika holding up both middle fingers at Darren.
- Arrow pushing Kurda aside.
Then a video clip filmed by Darren:
The guys jumped on each other viciously. For almost 10 minuites, no one was winning, then Seba had a mild heart attack, and he collapsed dragging Kurda down with him, who squealed grabbed Paris's pants in an effort to stay on his feet. It didn't keep him standing, but everyone got a good view of Paris's...well you know what I mean. Mr. Creplsey screamed, covered his eyes, and ran directly into a tree, thus knocking himself down. Now only Mika, Arrow, and Harkat remained on their feet. Ignoring Harkat, Mika lunged at Arrow, who bodychecked him. Mika collapsed painfully, while Arrow did a victory dance. That is, until Harkat grabbed his legs and tipped him over. (from The Vampire Files: Vampires On Vacation, chapter 5: Road Trippin)
- Harkat holding up his fists triumphantly.
- Kurda straining to lift his baby blue Prada suitcase into the back of the van.

- A video clip filmed by Darren:
Even before they stopped, Mika, Kurda, Larten, Paris, Arrow, and Seba piled out of the truck and stampeded into the gas station. As the cashier watched the Vampires kill each other for the only bathroom, Harkat crept in and made off with an unpacked box of assorted candy. (The Vampire Files: Vampires On Vacation, chapter 4: Road Trippin.)

The scenery outside the tiny windows began to move.
"Why's it moving?" Kurda asked in alarm.
"How did you think we're supposed to get there?" Mika asked incredulously.
"It's going too fast!" Kurda wailed, covering his eyes. (With Seba hollering in the background all the while.)
"It's supposed to, how else would we get into the air?"
"WE HAVE TO FLY?" Kurda was having a full-on panic attack now.
"Yeah..." Mika said unsympathetically.
"I hate flying!" Kurda put on his D&G hat and pulled it down over his eyes.
Mika sighed, and put his hand on the blonde's shoulder (shuddering slightly as he did so).
"Seriously, Kurda, we're perfectly safe. I won't let anything happen to you." he mumbled.
"I don't get it, that almost sounded nice?" said Kurda, peeking out from beneath his stylish hat.
"I just want you to shut up so we don't attract attention." Mika explained.
As the plane reached maximun height, Kurda leaned back in his seat, and for a moment it looked like he'd be OK, then he grabbed his air sickness bag and-
The video ended, and the pictures resumed.
- A title card: "The Resort" and a new song, "Celebrate Good Times" by Kool and the Gang.
"I was wrong, you DID pick a cheesier song!" Mika moaned.
"What happened to...the pictures...from the rest of the plane ride?" Harkat asked.
"My camera died."
"But you were taking pictures the whole way!"
"I hadn't noticed my camera was dead."

He fell off, as Mika and Arrow were almost wetting themselves with laughter. (from Vampires On Vacation chapter 5: Vending Machines)

- A shaky videoclip:
Darren whizzed over some moguls, catching huge air. Seba, who was not yet good at steering, got himself launched 10 feet into the air after zooming up an enormous jump. Miraculously he landed without wiping out. Nearby, Mika was effortlessly and sexily riding every jump he could get at. Mr. Crepsley attempted to turn, but succeeding only in turning himself backwards. At about 80 mph. Harkat was crouched in a little ball, shooting down the center of the hill in a dead straight line. Arrow was racing Mika. Paris, pointing the camera at himself, was covering his eyes and screaming. Darren realised that he was speeding straight towards a 20 foot high jump, with a sheer drop on the far side. He cleared the top and felt himself lift off into orbit. He closed his eyes and waited for the end. He heard a smacking sound of skis hitting snow and he heard himself scream. He felt a pain in his knees. Pain? You have to be alive to feel pain, right? He opened his eyes. He was alive! But now was no time to be thankful; a patch of moguls were looming in front of him. He cleared one, two, three, four, five, and he landed. Still alive! Suddenly the monster hill was welcoming. He soared over jump after jump, losing fear. Mr. Crepsley accompanied him over some of them. Mika was by his side constantly, trying to be faster, to jump higher. Harkat hit the smaller moguls, but got huge air. Darren, Mika, Arrow, and Mr. Crepsley worked the half-pipe, with Harkat, Seba, Paris, and Kurda whizzing down on either side. Then they cleared the half-pipe, and the hill steepend into a near-vertical line. It was over. They wouldn't survive this one, it was damn near convex! He was going down, not going to make it, yelling his good-byes to the others-
CRASH. And it was over. The ground was flat again. He was lying on it, facedown in the snow. He looked up in time to see Mika crash inches away from him, followed closely by Arrow, Mr. Crepsley, Harkat, Paris, and even Kurda. Every single one had survived the hill without a single wipe out. (From Vampires On Vacation, chapter 6: Room Service)

"Kurda, turn!" Darren instructed. But Kurda couldn't turn, if he did, he'd hit a tree. He couldn't stop, either. The river was getting closer and closer. Kurda was as good as dead from hypothermia. Suddenly, just as he was about to leave dry land, a big black blur intercepted his path and knocked him over, effectively stopping him from enetering the river. The two of them lay facedown in the snow for a moment, then Kurda looked up at his saviour... (From Vampires On Vacation, chapter 8, the Valley of Doom)
