Chapter Four - October 31

A dark room. Flash. The lights brightly turned on. Two girls laughing, hugging their bags of candy.

"Nothing beats a night of Trick or Treating!" Lappland laughed, placing the bag on the table.

Texas laughed along, "Yea, especially with you."

Lappland paused, a blush spreading across her face. "Wow, I'm flattered."

"I'm not trying to flatter you. I mean it," Texas said, walking to Lappland, backing her against the wall.

"Uh Texas. This is kind of close, don't you think?" Lappland said, chuckling nervously.

"You smell nice, Lappland," Texas said, "You smell like candy."

"Uh, Tex...what's gotten into you?" Lappland said, turning red.

Texas stared at Lappland's eyes, "I'm tired."

"Well, then, let's head to bed?" Lappland said, confused.

Texas stared at Lappland for a little while longer before closing her eyes. Lappland, knowing Texas' next move, closed her eyes as they entered a slow and passionate kiss.

After a few relaxing moments, they parted. "You taste like chocolate," Lappland said, "And not like pocky-chocolate."

Texas fell over onto Lappland, "I want to go to sleep."

"Not without a shower. Also, this is very sudden. You would always take a show-"

"I want to go to sleep," Texas persisted.

"Damn, okay," Lappland said, picking Texas up and bringing her to the bed.

"Well, I will shower first. You better shower after," Lappland said, grabbing a t-shirt and shorts.

The bathroom door closed with a click.

Texas sat up and grabbed her phone, turning it on.

"Let's see when her next appointment is," Texas said. It was different now, surprisingly. The appointments took place everyday. And the date November 11, was circled.

I remember there was something important on that day, Texas thought, "OH SHOOT!" Texas stood up quickly, Goddammit! It's Lappland's birthday on that day!

Texas immediately went on her phone scavenging for a gift. When she scrolled enough, she saw a glowing pocket watch, and bought it, knowing Lappland likes old fashioned items.

She turned off her phone, laid down and took a shallow nap.

"Wake up, Tex. Take your shower," Lappland said, nudging Texas, "Don't make me drag you. I may have rocks in my brain, but I still know what hygiene is."

"Urgh...," Texas mumbled, turning over.

Lappland walked away from Texas and dug through her jacket pocket, "I will take all the pocky snacks~!"

"NO!" Texas immediately responded, launching herself off the bed, "They are mine!"

Lappland laughed, "Ha! Now go take your shower."

Texas grabbed her pjs and stalked towards the bathroom.

After her shower, they both climbed to bed, and slept soundly, hugging each other for warmth.
