A Twisted Halloween: Terror is Trending

Chapter 4: The Best Halloween

The Next Day:

Briar and her friends arrive at their first class, and of course, Divus Crewel being their instructor.

Crewel says as he checks on the students, "One dog, two dogs, three dogs..." And sees all the students in the class, "Yes, the whole kennel is here. It's time for homeroom to begin."

Soon, all the students are sitting at their desks as they listen to Crewel. Briar and the others are in the class as well.

Then says, "I have an important announcement for you today. As I'm sure you're all aware, Halloween is one month from now."

Soon, all the students grow excited.

A Heartslabyul student says, "FINALLY! I've waited so long for this!"

"I've always dreamed of spending Halloween at Night Raven College!" A Scarabia student adds, very excited.

Briar and the others watch as the students are growing excited for Halloween.

"Wow, everybody's gettin' excited just hearing the word. Lilia and the ghosts weren't kiddin' when they said Halloween is special." Grim says.

"I have to agree. Even I'm getting excited about it," Sereia says.

Suddenly, they hear someone, "Psst. Hey."

The group turns around to see Ace and Deuce sitting behind them.

Then Ace says, "I saw Ramshackle Dorm for a sec this morning. Things are pretty wild over there, huh?"

Malleus and Lilia must be really going all-out," Deuce says.

"Yeah. Doesn't it just scream Halloween?" Briar replies.

Ace grins and says, "Yeah, that's the spirit! Glad you're having fun with it. Halloween's all about the spectacle."

"Speaking of spectacles-have you and the others bought a pumpkin for your room yet, Briar?" Deuce asks.

"No. Not yet. Maybe we can get some after class," Briar says.

Then Deuce says, "People are already lining up at the Mystery Shop. You'd better get in quick before all the good pumpkins sell out."

"A jack-o'-lantern's the perfect thing for that ghostly holiday vibe," Ace says.

"You guys are pretty jazzed up about this," Grim says.

Trinket nods her head in reply.

"Well, sure. Who DOESN'T get all jazzed up for Halloween?" Ace replies.

Then says, "I bet even the Ignihyde students will turn out for this, and they're like textbook shut-ins. Not to mention Lossey-Deucey over there, right?" And turns to Deuce with a smirk on his face.

Hearing that, Deuce says, "I-I mean, it's nice having a day with slightly relaxed rules. And getting to dress up in cool costumes is fun... I doubt there's a single kid or grown-up in all of Twisted Wonderland who hates Halloween."

"So Briar, do you celebrate Halloween where you came from?" Ace asks.

"I actually do. We get to wear costumes, have all kinds of Halloween treats and all kinds of fun, kind of like what you do. Even at my old school we dress up in costumes," Briar says.

"That sounds fun," Sereia says.

"I remember Jasper and I used to celebrate Halloween at our home town too," Tanzanite says.

"Yeah. I can't wait to see what the college comes up with," Jasper says.

Soon, all the students continue chatting and talking about the fun Halloween Event taking place in the school, and not really paying much attention to their instructors.
