All folks in this story belong to me
Lavender Meek-and eleven year old mouse with an obsesssion for stop motion and practical effects. She wants to be a film maker when she grows up and is currently working twords winning a youth film contest. Unfortunately, thats become more complicated now that she's competeing against her new crush.
Nick Blight-a hairless rat.Not too much is known about this odd boy. He seems to survive by couch surfing. Blight his most certainly not his last name and he likely isnt the varying eighteen to twenty four that he tells people. He always wears his favorite huge black hoodie when he can, and usually wears a hat. 

Lavender's brown eyes were as big as saucers, and magnified by her huge round glasses. Nosferatu was standing infront her, tall, gruesome and perfect. 

He didn't belong in the gas station check out line, with a bag of snack food, fishing coins out of his wallet. She stared. He was too perfect. Too horrible to be real. A tall, skeletal rat boy, entirely hairless, all wrinkly and grey with his big, front teeth. He wasn't dressed like nosferatu sure, but with a minor costume adjustment. Her eyes glittered with possiblities. She had to have him. She needed him desperately.
For her film of course! She wasn't sure just how to get herself into a conversation with him, so, as there wasn't anyone looking, she simply walked into him as hard as she could "ooooh!" she said feigning distress "I'm so sorry! I should have been looking where I was going."
Nosferatu turned and looked at her, and gave her an uncertain smile "Uh s'okay." he said, his voice was good, low and kind of rough. If he practiced that could be perfect too. He looked a little younger now that he was looking at her, but that was fine. It was film contest for eighteen and under so him being young wasn't a bad thing. She sort of wished he didn't smell so weird. 
Lavender gave him a beaming smile "My names Lavender, whats yours? do you go to school here?"
Nosferatu looked at Lavender "Uh. Nick. My names Nick. Nice to meet you?" he asked it more like a question than a statement "Nah..I don't uh..I don't go to school...here" he was a little weirded out by the way she was staring at him. he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his hugely oversized black hoodie and walked closer to the counter. He had the weirdest feeling her bumping into him wasn't an accident, but what could a little girl like her want from him?
"Oh,well.." Lavender was loosing her chance, she could feel it. "Do you like movies?" she asked, feeling like a dork when that was what she came up with.
"Sure.." Nick said arching a non-existant brow "Uh, do..you?" He looked at the cashier, suddenly in the weirdest rush to get away from this kid. She was up to something, and he didn't like that.
"Okay, well...there is this movie festival contest thingy.." Lavender strode up to him. "And.um, don't think this is super weird..but you are like so perfect for the bad guy I had in mind and um...Please. please please be in my movie!" Lavender suddenly began to plead, she was embarrassed to do it, but, she was a little girl and if she could just get her eyes to water, maybe he'd say yes.
Nick was very confused. He stared at the girl "Got..any like..info on the contest?" he asked, wanting to make sure she wasn't setting him up for somthing weird or violent.  He just wanted to buy his snacks and then crash on someone, anyone's couch.
"Oh yeah. I got all the info..but..not on me." Her time was short. her mother was in the car, waiting for her to pay for her soft drink so they could leave. Her oppertunity was slipping away by  the second! "We could meet at the comic book store! Uh..Sunday! Before they close."
public meeting spots were good. That ment he wouldn't be alone with this weird little kid. he didn't want to hurt her feeling though. Nick was bad at saying no to kids. "Uh..alright I guess. I don't live in Burton but...I'll see what I can do." He rubbed his arm. The poor skinny rat boy just, just wanted his snacks, what was he getting into?
Lavender's heart lept "Thank you, thank you, thank you" she said bouncing up and down, he'd really made her day. Heck he'd made her week. he was so perfect. She bouced more almost spilling her cup of soda. "Sunday! Yeah! We'll meet up then"
Nick smiled a little despite his odd feeling about the encounter,he really liked to make people happy and she seemed thrilled. He nodded "Sure kid." he turned his attention to the cashier.
Lavender stared up at Nosferatu and imagined him, in her set in the garage, no one else was going to have a villain like him. She couldn't help but grin.
