Corey and Oats in…

Canadian Were-Aykroyd in Rosemary Avenue: A July 1st Horror Story.

Monster introduced in this story: Were-Aykroyd. Based on dreams i’ve had
this monster is basically a were-celebrity, someone who turns into a famous
person, in particular in this case Dan Aykroyd or a character he has played. A
Were-Aykroyd serves as Nathan’s alter-ego in the universe of these stories
and it sometimes depends on what causes the transformation, sometimes it’s
by visions, and sometimes it’s a by night scenario. As a Were-Aykroyd Nathan
is in possession of a high intellect and psychic abilities along with superhuman
strength.
----------------------------------------
Corey and Oats were a duo that were used to unusual things happening in
their home of Nile Road and in their imaginary adventures, but this time their
adventure took place at their home in Rosemary Avenue. It was July 1st 2023
which meant two very special things, Canada Day and also the birthday of
Mel’s favorite actor Dan Aykroyd. They had just returned home from Nile
Road and were with Jill, as the duo played around and had fun for the
afternoon. But Mel noticed there was a news report on television about ‘a
strange Aykroydian monster’ that had been reportedly sighted, and she
thought it had something to do with Nathan.
​

“Mommy, do these reports have anything to do with our friend?”

​

“It says something about a strange Aykroydian monster.”

​

“Well Nathan is always writing about the lore of Were-Aykroyds.”

​

“You mean like the ones we encountered in some of our previous

adventures?”
​

“Yes, and it is July 1st which is Canada Day and also Dan Aykroyd’s birthday.”
​

Nathan was always writing about Were-Aykroyds and the myth that inspired
them like how Canadians would scare American tourists by telling them of the
Were-Aykroyd curse, and Mel knew Nathan himself was one. Nathan had
been noticeably skittish around the subject and always acted strange, then
again this was nothing new for him considering he was a Were-Aykroyd and
never told anyone apart from his friends.
​

He explained to them that the transformations were initiated by a series of

visions he had about becoming Dan Aykroyd, even though they were visions
they felt real to him and he could feel himself morphing even when he was in
normal form. Corey and Oats wanted to help him with this. ‘I have had
strange dreams and visions of the Aykroyd side always emerging.’ ‘Could we
help you with this?’ ‘It might be dangerous though.’
​

“Don’t worry, we know what to do.”

​

“Alright, let’s go then.”

​

The duo along with Mel raced over into the bedroom and opened up a special
box which gained them access to a key, they used the key to open up a
secret passageway in the wall and went through it, when they came out of the
end of the passage-way they arrived at what happened to be a run-down
street of sorts, and that is where they saw some people running from what
appeared to be multiple Dan Aykroyds. ‘Nathan..is this what your dream when
you first turned was about?’ ‘Yes Oats, it was..I dreamed I was running from
these characters.’
​

Corey, Oats and Mel along with Nathan ran down the street and looked to try
and find a place to hide, most of the shops were closed except for one
bookstore that was nearby, Corey floated over to the window as Oats used
some magic to get inside as well.
​

The group looked around and searched every corner of the bookstore to find
some kind of information on the subject, searching every single book shelf.
‘Ratty would probably laugh at us for this.’ ‘Yeah, and call us old.’ ‘People still
use books to this day and age, it’s not like they’re out of fashion.’
​

‘Right on, you know…HP Lovecraft’s work is some of the most horrifying yet
fascinating work I have seen in horror fiction.’ ‘Huh? Who said that?’
​

Mel looked around and saw a Dan Aykroyd character reading Shadow Over
Innsmouth by HP Lovecraft. Specifically they saw Austin Milbarge. ‘Uh
oh…what are you doing here?’ ‘What am I doing here? Well me and the
others..yes, there are other Aykroyds here, are looking for Nathan.’
​

‘Okay…why?’ Nathan asked nervously. ‘Don’t you remember? What

happened last night, the Were-Aykroyd sightings.’ ‘Ah shoot, those people
aren’t frightened because of me are they?’ ‘There is a possibility that they are.
After all, you are the Were-aykroyd and all.’ ‘But I never told them that, I don’t
know them, how would they know i’m a Were-Aykroyd?’ ‘Oh, these people
have a way of knowing.’
​

Mel felt really worried about this and confronted Austin…’Austin, you say
these people know Nathan is a were-aykroyd, that isn’t true, the only people
that know about this are Mel, Eucalyptus, Oats, Corey, the microbes and the
unicorn families, and you guys. Jill doesn’t know what happens to Nathan at
night. She doesn’t know he is the Were-Aykroyd.’ ‘Jill doesn’t know he’s a
Were-Aykroyd?’
​
“Well no…at least not that I know of.”
​

“But what about you, Mel? What about you and well…Russell?”
​

‘I knew Russell Brand was part-demon long before we became friends, we

used to be enemies you know. And oh boy did it take a while to forgive him
for what he did. He knows Nathan has powers.’ ‘And yet you still hang out
with Russell after what he did to you? I mean he did try to brainwash you and
everything.’ ‘He’s a changed man now.’
​

Mel looked over at Austin and rolled her eyes…’If you say so, but I find it
baffling Nathan never told Jill about his Were-Aykroydism, after all his online
friends know about it.’ ‘Well they’re different, they enticed him into unlocking
that side of himself.’
​

She and the others continued looking around for books containing information
on Were-Aykroyds and also books on how to protect themselves. ‘There has
to be some answer around here, something to explain how to deal with this.’
‘You can’t just make a wooden cross and hold it in front of them, this isn’t a
vampire movie you know.’ ‘He’s right, it may work on Sacred Rianna but that’s
because Rianna is a force of pure supernatural malevolence, she is not a
vampire, nor is she a demon, but methods that are used to weaken both
species of monsters can be used on her. Just ask Simon Cowell, Simon held
a crucifix in front of her…obviously he was protecting Heidi and Howie from
her.’
​

‘The fact that someone THAT powerful can terrify Simon is astounding.’ ‘And
Heidi as well. And Heidi is normally the type that loves being scared, she
loves halloween, she loves scaring people.’ ‘You have a point there.’
‘So do you think that none of the things listed in the books would help us keep
the Aykroyds at bay?’ ‘I don’t think so, since the Were-Aykroyd is clearly
smarter than most monsters i’ve done battle with.’ ‘That’s true, Were-Aykroyds
have an advanced intelligence and psychic abilities.’
​

Nathan had to keep his Were-Aykroydism a secret most of the time and it was
hard to do so due to how much of a tease that alter-ego of his was…’Dan’,
was one tricky Were-Aykroyd always finding ways to get to Nathan, even in
dreams. ‘Dan isn’t your average Were-Aykroyd though, he’s their leader and
my alter-ego.’ ‘What about light arrows with cold gems and the dip from
Roger Rabbit on them?’ ‘That’s what cures people who have been turned into
green-faced Masked people. I’ve seen BrainiacAdam’s Yvond videos.’
​

The number of Aykroyd characters increased when Grocer (from Grosse

Pointe Blank), Bob (from Susan’s Plan),, Jimmy Flaherty (from Celtic Pride),
Clifford Skridlow (from Doctor Detroit) and Elwood Blues popped up, following
the group around the store. Mel began to make a run for it. But Corey and
Oats did battle with the Aykroyds.
​

“What do these Aykroyds want, mommy?”

​

“They know Nathan, they refer to him as one of them.”

​

‘But Nathan isn’t a Were-Aykroyd is he? How can they possibly know of his
Were-Aykroyd alter-ego?’ ‘Yes, he is. We are the only ones that know this,
well…those Aykroyd characters know too but Mel also knows. Nobody at Nile
Road knows about this.’ ‘So what do we do then?’
​

Nathan walked around for a bit, trying hard not to turn into his Aykroydian
alterego, which was harder than he thought it would be, he attempted to resist
some of his Aykroydian urges. He couldn’t help but spew out a bit of Aykroyd
style technobabble when he went into the supernatural section from the
bookstore. ‘Ah here we are, Were-Aykroyds. The book clearly states
Were-Aykroyds aren’t your typical type of werecreature or even typical
were-celebrities, it’s not just a full moon trigger which usually applies to
werecreature situations. Usually in werecreature lore, the full moon is what
triggers the change and it’s usually on the night after the first attack, although
technically the full moon is once every month specifically 29.5 days, when we
go into the exact specifications of lunar phases, the moon goes around the
earth but it takes 27.3 days for it to circle the earth, the lunar cycle is 29.5
days. The process of mutation of human to werecreature depends on the
depiction, i’ve seen movies in which the moon isn’t a major factor. ‘ ‘Right.’
‘Now the exact ratio of the moon and the triangulation of the moonlight both
may not factor in my transformation into a Were-Aykroyd even though the
transformation sometimes does occur at night or when it gets dark in general,
putting the factor of the Were-Aykroyd’s nocturnal nature in there…and oh no
i’m sorry, I started going into Aykroydian techno-babble. I am sorry, I started
going Aykroydian. ‘
​

‘It’s alright Nathan.’ ‘Yes, it’s alright.’ ‘I can feel it happening already, we have
to do something.’ The group moved over to a safe hiding spot near the books
that weren’t selling very well and worked out a plan. Nathan looked over to
see if there was anyone there. ‘Good, there’s no one here, and those
Aykroyds aren’t likely to follow us anywhere.’
​

Corey worked on the next step of the plan, also keeping guard for the Aykroyd
characters. Mel thought of a plan as she made her way through the store, she
had narrowly avoided their gaze, that is until she was spotted by Sgt Frank
Tree and Ellis Fielding. ‘Shoot, the Aykroyds have spotted me.’ ‘Hey there
Mel, are you guys playing a game?’ ‘Actually we’re hiding from you, because
we know you know Nathan’s a Were-Aykroyd.’ ‘That’s right, we do. And from
what I heard back there, he’s starting to turn.’
​

“I know…”
​

Oats whinnied as he comforted Mel and also comforted Nathan…’But we’ve

got this, he isn’t likely to harm us or even you guys as a Were-Aykroyd since
he isn’t evil as one.’ ‘That is true.’ Nathan looked over and attempted to go
over to a shortcut to the entrance of the store to try and get out, but his
stomach emitted an unsettling gurgling sound that made it sound like he had
eaten something horrible.
​

“Oh no…it’s starting, please help me guys.”

​

He clutched his stomach with his hands and as he did, a button popped off his
top as his stomach was slowly broadening and growing, brown hairs slowly
started growing on it in the process. His skin slowly began to mature as his
hands enlarged, brown hairs growing on them while his fingers thickened..he
gasped as he looked at his hands. ‘No please I cannot go Aykroyd here, we’re
nearly close to getting out of here.’
​

His arms broadened next, developing the same brown hairs on them…’The
Were-Aykroyd is always there, always waiting.’ He murmured to himself as his
chest and torso slowly broadened in the process, pushing against his top,
causing some more buttons to pop off. ‘We have to get out of here, I don’t
know how much of me will be me and how much will be Aykroydian when I am
done.’
​

The transformation spread to his chest as brown hairs developed on them..a

cracking noise was heard as his back broadened along with his shoulders, he
began to feel a bit disorientated as he began to shoot up in height to 6’1 which
was Dan Aykroyd’s height. ‘This always hurts, well on some occasions it
does.’ He groaned as his jeans felt a bit tight due to his legs altering and his
rear plumping up and expanding, he looked back at that part in particular. ‘I
have to always attempt to resist this, because it is so horrifying yet
so..so…delicious, so…sexy, no wait, what am I saying? Curse Dan Aykroyd
and his marvelous thicc behind, curse him!’
​

While he was still transforming he was determined to help his group and get
them all out in one piece, but he couldn’t help but like turning Aykroydian, he
had been the Were-Aykroyd for quite sometime now and even though he had
been trying to keep the transformation at bay when around others it was hard
to at times. He decided to try and go over to the entrance of the store again
and he managed to get there, he reached forward…getting closer to the door,
when he found himself falling over.
​

“Nathan…are you alright?”

​

“I am alright, you guys..it’s just oh no, here go my shoes.”

​

His shoes began to feel a little bit tight as his feet enlarged from within, with a
couple of strains and creaking sounds his shoes got increasingly tighter
before breaking apart to reveal his feet which were growing and changing in
the same way his hands were, he felt two of the toes on both feet fusing at the
knuckle, giving him the appearance of webbed toes, he tried to separate the
toes but to no avail, his now Aykroydian feet seemed to be in position of a set
of webbed toes. ‘Oh shoot, I lose more shoes that way.’ He got back up and
attempted to go over to the door once more.
​

Grocer however jumped in the way…’Now now Nate, buddy..it’s alright, you
don’t need to run, you’re a Were-Aykroyd and you are our brother.’ ‘I know but
I am so close to getting me and my friends out of here, and now i’m
transforming. I can’t Aykroyd out now, not when we’re so close to getting out.’
He broke down in tears as Corey floated over to him and comforted him. ‘Our
friend Nathan is a were-aykroyd, we know that, but can’t you see he’s so close
to helping us and he is trying not to give in to being Aykroydian?’ ‘He’s always
going to be Aykroydian though, even as his normal self, that’s part of being a
Were-Aykroyd.’
​

Nathan looked over at himself for a bit, his neckline altered as his hair
darkened and his hairline altered while also retaining his normal style, his
brow thickened a bit while his eyebrows bushed up and arched a little, his
eyes widened, one turning green while the other remained brown. His nose
broadened and developed a cleft down the middle, his features warping
further as they took on an Aykroydian appearance, his face had plumped up
quite a bit, he looked exactly like Dan himself at this point.
​

Reaching over for the door once more…he found himself able to open it with
superhuman strength, and he gestured for the others to follow him to get to
the door. ‘Hurry, everyone please.’ He exclaimed. Oats galloped over to the
duo with Corey on his back as Mel followed…’In case I end up turning one of
my friends into a fellow Were-Aykroyd I am so sorry in advance.’
​

He began to cough and as he did, his voice deepened and changed..warping

into the voice of Dan Aykroyd, he covered his mouth and attempted to resist
the urge to break out in some Aykroydian jargon, but luckily this time he did.
His mind and personality didn’t alter but his Were-Aykroyd powers activated
and his intelligence increased. ‘Nathan? Are you still you?’ ‘I think so, just a
little bit more Aykroydian than normal, but it’s still me.’
​

More Aykroyds began to emerge and the duo and Mel began to look around
before reaching the door, making a dash for it. The group ran out the door
and left the bookstore with the books they had gathered on Were-Aykroyd lore
in tow. They headed down the road and across the street, making their way
through, they saw what appeared to be a group of people who hadn’t been
morphed, only for those people to turn Aykroydian just like Nathan had.
​
Nathan helped the duo and Mel fight off the transformed group of people and
the Were-Aykroyds in general, using his own Were-Aykroyd powers to assist
in the process, but as soon as more Were-Aykroyds came in to join the fray,
the group felt outnumbered, and Mel became extremely worried. But then
Nathan thought of an idea, he decided to call the Dan Aykroyd characters
over to help them, and did a coordinated dance number to fend off the
Were-Aykroyds and transformed people, the dance number was a nod to the
Thriller video complete with the same moves and some Aykroydian ones
thrown in.
​

Corey and Oats fought off the other ones with their combined powers before
calling for help from their friend Aiyido the beholder who fought off some of the
transformed people with his eye-rays, Nathan’s dance number plan was a
success and he had fought off the group of Were-Aykroyds that were after
them. After that, they saw there was another passageway opening up and
they jumped into that passageway which them through a portal which took
them all the way back home to Rosemary Avenue.
​

When they arrived back at Rosemary Avenue, Mel sat down in the computer
room to recover from what had happened as did Corey and Oats. Jill was
attending to Ratty who was watching a b-grade horror movie about mutant
rat-people. ‘Jill, we’re home.’ ‘I was wondering where you guys were, what
happened?’ ‘Well we went into the world of one of Nathan’s dreams and we
were running from Dan Aykroyd characters.’ ‘There was a news report about
a strange Aykroydian monster and we thought it was connected to our friend
because he’s well..’
​

‘Oh dear…’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Jill I have something to tell you.’ Nathan explained. ‘I’m a
Were-Aykroyd, I turn into a supernatural version of Dan Aykroyd at night or
whenever it’s dark or just whenever the Were-Aykroyd side of me feels like
showing up. I turn into Dan and i’m still me while I am though. I am sorry I
never told you.’ ‘Aaaaw there there, it’s alright, it’s good you told me your
secret.’
​

Mel nodded…’There were hordes of them out in the street when we went, we
hid out in a bookstore and encountered some Aykroyd characters and more
Were-Aykroyds, he isn’t the only one.’ ‘And well I couldn’t help but Aykroyd
out…’ Nathan responded, blushing. Corey explained that they were lucky to
get out alive.
​

Oats cuddled Corey and he looked at himself before looking at his dress to
make sure it hadn’t gotten dirty…’Thank goodness my lovely dress is all in
one piece.’ ‘Are you alright, Mel?’ ‘I think so…but my arm hurts a little, and I
got this marking on it.’ The koala-girl pulled back her cardigan’s sleeve to
reveal she had been scratched…’Oh no, what happened?’ ‘Nathan
accidentally scratched me earlier while getting the door to the shop open.’
‘Oh no, mommy..are you going to be okay?’ ‘I think so…’
​

Nathan couldn’t help but feel sorry about what he had done…’I am so sorry, I
didn’t mean to scratch you. Oh geez I am sorry I scratched you, I didn’t mean
to..please don’t get mad at me if you turn into a Were-Aykroyd, please.’ ‘It’s
alright, I won’t.’ He decided to help Mel heal for the next couple of hours, an
hour later they had afternoon tea.
​

After that they had dinner - Oats got to be with Corey and the others at dinner,
followed by some special food to eat for dessert, eventually the scratch Mel
had gotten on her arm did heal. They spent some time playing games and
listening to music, and they had a lovely evening. The other microbes were
there to comfort Corey and help him. They worked on new stories
​

A couple of hours later they spent some time bonding together, and at around
half past ten that night they all decided to go into the bedroom to get ready for
bed. Nathan and Mel put on their night-clothes as Corey put on his bat
pajamas and Oats put on his pink nightgown. They brushed their teeth in the
bathroom as Nathan returned to his normal self, his shirt and shoes had
repaired themselves when he morphed back to normal.
​

Mel hugged Jill as she gathered all the microbes with her and brought them to
the bedroom before getting into bed, Corey and Oats jumped into bed as
Nathan got into a second bed that had been sent out, they put on the classical
musical station and drifted off to sleep as Jill said goodnight to them, their
ordeal was over and they had a peaceful night sleep. Well that was until a
couple of hours later, Mel was tossing and turning in bed, having strange
dreams of Dan Aykroyd or of turning into him, all because of the scratch
Nathan had given her by accident.
​

Luckily though the dreams didn’t disturb her too much, and they all had a nice
sleep. The next day went normally for them, and the duo and all the microbes
got ready for the day, Celiac excitedly jumped out of bed, eager to have gluten
free pancakes made by Jill. ‘Oh boy, pancakes, pancakes!’ The celiac microbe
cheered, as they all laughed and raced into the computer room for breakfast.
​

And so their adventure has come to a close but there are more adventures to
come.
