Melissa Jenkins pulled Trevor towards their first class together, unaware of the phone call that Megumi made to her grandmother. A smile was plastered on her face, revealing her excitement for her first date with Trevor.
"So, where do you think we should go?" Melissa asked Trevor.
"Um," Trevor said as he thought for a moment. "Well, what do you want to see? I mean, I can think of a few things, but your ideas are as good as mine."
"Well, I really want to see this town a bit. I mean, we just got here a few days ago, but I want to see more of this place. I don't think we had much like it where we lived in Michigan."
"I see," he said slowly as he continued to think. "I do know of this one place. It's sorta secluded, but it's on top of a hill where we can see the lay of the town. We can see the lake and the leaves look really nice this time of year."
"Oooh, that does sound nice," Melissa said as she leaned towards him. "It'll be like a picnic, with just the two of us. Can we go tonight?"
Trevor laughed as he said, "You're an eager one. How about tomorrow? After school? That way, we don't have things like homework or tests to scare us." The two continued to chat as they went in the classroom. Alice Weiss was close behind them, smiling as she heard the two of them talk.

At the same time, Alice Decrux was planning her revenge on the Jenkins. Harold was out of her reach at this point. She had no doubt that Harold Jenkins wanted to do nothing with her right now. But still, she had one problem out of the way. With Virginia McCoy under suspicion, she knew her plan for revenge was well on its way. The only other problem was Harold's daughter Melissa. Alice knew that Melissa was still normal, and with Harold the family were, the pressure was off Melissa to turn.
She sighed as she finished her makeup and examined her clothes in the mirror. Enough clothing to make sure she was "decent", yet revealing enough to turn a few heads.
She smiled at the mirror. She'd been playing this game for years, and she knew all the tricks to turn a normal. The aphrodisiac was one of her favorites because it meant that the normal guy went straight to her without any fear of Statute 1A charges. Accidents were another favorite. Since the DA could never prove intent, she managed to get away from charges. Yet, in this case, it was something new. She never changed a woman before, as all of her previous victims were all men. Young teenagers were easy to pull. Show a little flattery, a little skin, and their "lower" brain starts taking over for them. Older men were a bit more challenging, but they had their weaknesses. Women, on the other hand, didn't follow the same rules or fall for the same tricks. Unless they were lesbians, they generally ignored or were repulsed by her charms. And besides, women tend to not make her pregnant, so they weren't worth it to her. And with the extra police scrutiny, the accident method probably wouldn't work. She couldn't get close enough to Melissa for that to work.
Alice made one last check of her appearance before heading out to her shop. Turning Melissa would be a challenge, but it'd be worth it. No one rejects her and gets in her way. No one.
