The Path We Walk

Halloween Special: Part 2

PoV Aster

  I help Cinnamon and Sniper in the kitchen with the snacks and drinks for the party. Roulette and Horror are sitting to the side snacking on the trays of food, but mostly Horror. We had to make sure that we will have enough for everyone who is coming. Apparently Nightmare calls a truce on Halloween to thrown the party and invite anyone to come. Sniper says it would mostly be neutrals and a few of the more stupid good sans who come. The party is still gonna be alot of fun. Though they'll have to have Sniper and Roulette take shift on watching the punch to make sure Blue doesn't spike it like he always does at parties. Dil, Spirit, X, Lus, and Ama are currently down for the count from sugar intake. They went nuts from the sugar before crashing hard, so they're all sleeping it off now. Poor Cross is feeling a bit queezey from all of the junk X ate.

  Cinnamon is currently wearing a Jack Skellington costume, with the black and white pinstripe suit. It really suits him. Horror is wearing a brown bear onesie with a hoodie. It even has a pair of ears and a tail. Sniper is wearing a police uniform, while Roulette is a detective. Loving the irony. I also went with something along those lines. I'm wearing a navy blue chemise with silver stars under a black robe. To complete the look I had a pair of black boots, silver bracelets, silver necklace with a sapphire pendant, and a silver and sapphire circlet. I was dressed as a mage.

  "The tables are set up! You can start bringing the trays out!" Dust yells from the living room. They were wearing a Casey Becker costume from the "Scream" movies.

  I pick up a tray in each hand and the punch bowl with magic. Everyone else loads up and follows after. We make our way through the now rearranged living room. The entertainment center was still in the same place, but the couch had been moved to the side against the wall. The table for the refreshments and food were to the side. We loaded it up. Just then we hear a loud knocking. "Looks like the guests have started to arrive." Killer says. He was wearing a Jason Voorhees costume from "Friday the 13th".

  "I'll... let... them... in." Horror says.

  "Alright teddy bear!" I say to him. Horror blushes red.

  "Teddy... bear?" Horror asks flustered. I nod enthusiastically.

  "Ya I've been trying to think of a new nickname for you and the bear costume definitely suits you!" I tell him. Horror blushes brighter.

  Horror turns and quickly walks away to answer the door. Killer and I just giggle at his reaction. I make sure that the final touches for the snacks are finished. Then Horror walks back over with two dressed up skeletons. One was dressed in a steam punk themed costume with a pair of aviator goggles, bowler hat, vest, dress shirt, dress pants, and boots. The costume was littered with little gears. The second was dressed in a white astronaut suit, with the helmets visor open. "Really Outer, astronaut again? I get your the most like Classic, but you could at least put in actual effort every year with different costumes and suffer with us." Dust says to Outer Sans. Outer was a fairly short skeleton with plain white eyelights.

  "I tried to get him to pick out another one, but he always refuses to wear anything else." The other skeleton says, exasperated.

  "Come on Sci. You don't understand the gravity of my decision. This costume is out of this world. The puns I can make are a blast. Now let's moonwalk over to the food. I could use some launch. I could consume more than a black hole." Outer says. Sci looks at him in disappointment.

  "Your puns aren't even any different than what you usually use." Sci says. Outer shrugs and heads towards the snacks, with Sci following.

  "Hey Dust, where's Blue?" Cross asks.
