(This story follows Luke through the events of the school festival)

Luke paces the halls lined with orange and black, looking down at the map at his hands. The map looked like it was drawn in a red sharpie and the drawing was sloppy and showed walls that weren't even there. He sighed, "God, I shouldn't have trust him to draw me a map. He can barely find his own way around!"

A voice whispers in his mind, "It was indeed quite foolish."

"Watcher?" Luke thought putting the map in his pocket.

"Yes?" The Watcher replied.

"Do me a favor and shut up. I am aware!" Luke yelled out loud drawing the eyes of nearby students.

"Are you aware of the students looking at the crazy man in a trench coat shouting to himself in a school?"

"Are you aware of the students looking at the crazy man in a trench coat shouting to himself in a school?"

"Yeah Yeah! Can you do something good and help me find classroom 233?" Luke thought

"Oh, you past that a while ago."

"Are you serious!?"

"Yep, it was the classroom with the two pumpkins in the front."

"I hate you..."

Luke turns back and walks until he finds two small pumpkins siting in front on the classroom door. He takes a moment to move both the pumpkins out of the way of the door before entering the classroom. He looks in and sees how the "Halloween Café" is doing. The tables are empty but are decorated with orange table cloth with small plastic pumpkins on them, there are black and orange streamers hanging from the ceiling by tape, there is a fire giving the room extra warmth. Hold on! The fire is coming from the oven and there stands Akeno trying to fan the flames out with a rag!

"Watcher!" Luke thought looking at the growing flames.

"On it," The Watcher replies

Luke quickly materializes a fire extinguisher from his amulet and runs up next to Akeno spraying the flames. The fire dies down and all that is left is the burn marks in the oven and the burnt smell of whatever Akeno was trying to make. Luke turns to Akeno storing away the fire extinguisher, "Mind explaining this?"

"I tried to make pumpkin pie..." Akeno said pushing his fingers together.

"And?"

"I tried making it in a minute..."

"How did you try...you didn't."

"Haha, it's a funny story really!"

"How high did you turn it up?"

Akeno stays quiet and just says, "Man, look at the time I should go!"

Luke grabs the back of Akeno's hood and keeps trying to interrogate until they a both interrupted by crunching. Sitting on the counter next to the oven was a humanoid with shadow-like skin wearing a white ankle-length tailcoat with a dark gray, high-necked waistcoat, black pants, black boots, white gloves, a white top hat, and a white mask with green lines that end in curves. The figure is Shade, a literal shadow thief, and he was eating the charred remains of the pie while watching the two.

I hope you two don't mind that I helped myself to the pie," Shade said eating another chunk of it

"YOU'RE EATING IT!?" Akeno shouted

"Well, it's not going to waste at least," Luke replied, "Now how high did you turn it up, Akeno?"

"Yeah, no I'll just tell you," A voice says from the oven. Damien pops up on the screen of the oven.

"Um...Damien? Why are you in the oven?" Luke asked.

"Someone, not naming any names but someone put me into their phone promising they wouldn't drop it," Damien replied, "Long story short they did and I had to jump to the nearest electronic and I'm stuck here until the android body arrives."

"I swear I'm not usually this clumsy! I don't even know what I tripped on!" Akeno excuses as Shade then giggles.

"Shade? Did you trip him?" Luke questioned approaching Shade who was still sitting on the counter.

"I'm quite unsure, furthermore I'm appalled by this accusation!" Shade said feigning innocence.

"You turned into a shadow, went into the hallway, and tripped Akeno at 5:38 pm leading to him throwing his phone which slammed into the window leaving a small crack on the glass," Luke theorized. Shade is quiet for a moment and Luke grabs Shade right as he starts sinking into the counter top. "No you don't! You aren't leaving myself until you are punished."

"AKENO I SWEAR IF YOU DO TH--" Damien yelled before the fire alarm goes off as another fire shoots up.
