A Halloween Night
By TheFakePsychic

	“Can I go now?” asked Tracy impatiently, waiting for the chance, the one sacred chance to go around Onett to get all the candy she, with help from her older brother, could carry. Dusk was not for a few hours on the small suburb, yet Tracy seemed as though she had already inhaled all of the candy she had gotten.
	“Oh, a few more hours, it's barely dark out. Besides, we aren't done decorating for our Trick-or-Treaters,” said Tracy's Mother, sitting gently on the couch. “We've got pumpkins to carve, banners to hang, and light's to hang.” perking up. “I'll get Ness to go get the decorations out of the attic. Remember, the sooner the decorations are up, the sooner you two can go trick-or-treating.”
	“NESS!! Come on, let's go, decorate, decorate, decorate!” said Tracy filled with a new vigor. Poor Ness, he barely knew what was happening as he was getting pushed up the stairs, forced to get the decorations to allow Tracy a say of fun. However, this was also one day Ness enjoyed also, so he was always willing to give a helping hand.
	A fewer hours later, the house was decorated. All the pumpkins were carved in designs of cats, bats, and skeletons. The house, while normally sleepy and bland, was decorated in bright oranges and deep blacks. Pumpkins lined the entrance to the house, while a wreath of dead branches was hung on the door. Tracy, dressed in butterfly wings and a frilly wand, carrying a Drugstore bag with the hope of carrying much more by later tonight. Ness, with a dressed in a cowboy outfit, carrying another bag; a new fire in his eyes.
	“Have fun kids!” said the children's mother, watching as they walked down the grassy path. Their mother was also planning a fun evening in her old witch hat, waiting to give out candy to the children of Onett.
	Ness and Tracy hung a right and walked up the to Minch's doorstep. Although Ness was reluctant, he finally gave in and rang the doorbell. “Trick-or-Treat!” The young ones exclaimed at the doorstep.
	“Hey!” said Picky, dressed in a stately tie and suit. “Me and my dad were just about to go trick-or-treating,” he explained, “Here's your candy!” giving each a large bar of exquisite dark chocolate.
	The two young Halloween loving children were about to go around the corner, they heard a yell. “HEY!” yelled Picky, running after Ness and Tracy. Catching his breath, he said, “My dad said I could go with you guys. He seemed so relieved when I asked.”
	“We'd love to have you Picky! The more the merrier!” said Tracy. As Picky, Tracy, and Ness came around the hill near where the meteorite landed around eight months ago. As Picky and Ness were both looking up to where the meteorite landed as Tracy announced they were at their next stop.
	“Trick-or-treat!” said the children, as Lier X. Agerate opened the door.
	“Oh BOY! Trick-or-treaters! I've never had these before, as you can see on my billboard.” He pointed to the sign. Sure enough, it said 'Lier X. Agerate: Treasure Hunter, First time Candy Giver.' He gave all three children some milk chocolate with garlic.
	“You kids sure you don't want to stay? I've found some real treasure this time. All you have to do is go down, into this hole!”
	“Bye Mr. Agerate!” said Tracy hurriedly, as they ran toward town. They decided they would hit the traveling entertainer shack, then head around through town, and back to their houses. As they neared the shack, a small snake jumped out in front of them. As it sprung, Ness's foot collided in mid-air, instantly silencing the snake.
	“Trick-or tre--” they started to say, but were interrupted by the entertainers.
	“Oh joy, trick-or-treaters! Here you go!” said the entertainer, placing a mixed chocolate saxophone in each of their bags.
	Heading south, they stopped by the library, getting a map of Onett on a slice of Milk Chocolate. At the Hospital, they got a package of candy corn. The nurse at the hospital said they wanted to avoid choking as much as possible. Down at the Burger store, Frank gave them a Can of Pepsi, as chocolate ruins the burger, according to Frank, although he admitted later to Picky, Ness, and Tracy he was just lying. The hotel gave them and their families a voucher for a week of newspapers free with a week stay. Finally, City Hall gave them a list of some laws, engraved on a slab of white chocolate.
	Just as they were about to head home, after a few more minor stops here and there, Tracy realized, “WAIT! We missed one major stop!”, as Tracy started to head due west.

	“OMYGODNESS!” said a loud female voice at the house at Beak Point. “It's been forever, trust me I smell much better after I took about three showers and was finally out of that Kraken, and we must catch up! I dumped that stupid traitor Tommy and I am really waiting for the chance to go out with you and... Oh wait here's your candy, that's why you're here. Duh. But really, I met these great other people, at this convention that Paula rented at this house but none of them were as hot as you Ness! Like this Reid guy, and Benja-” She realized she was talking at air at this point.
	As Tracy, Ness, and Picky ran up to their houses. They congratulated each other and left on their way to each of their houses.
	“Did you kids make a cache?” their mother asked, seeming worn out after all the trick-or-treaters she had.
	“Oh yeah!” exclaimed Tracy, “Plus we saw Frank, and the librarian and--”
	“Settle down, settle down!” her mother said, “you can tell me all about it tomorrow. It's getting late. You two should scoot off to bed.”
	Ness and Tracy agreed and went of to bed, where they dreamed of eating all their candy, and enjoying all their goodies.

Have a fun, and safe Halloween!
