Trick or treating

Max and Scarlette reach his house and park their bikes next to the side of the house.

…
Inside the house Their parents go through boxes, trying to find places for their stuff when suddenly Max bursts in angrily with Scarlette in tow, looking worriedly at him.

"Hey Max, Scarlette! Hey, how was school?" Their mom asks, not noticing their sour mood. "It sucked." Max answered plainly, making his mom follow the two worriedly.
"Hey, hey, hey watch your language."  His dad scolds him, getting up from his place on the ground. Scarlette looks at him in confusion.
"What? It's not like he said fu-"
Her dad cuts her off by covering her mouth.

Max continued up the stairs, stomping angrily. "I can't believe you made me move here!" He gets to the second level and heads to his door, resting his head against it and hitting it.

His parents and sister look towards the stairs worriedly.
"He wasn't wearin' any shoes." His mom observes making Scarlette groan.
His dad only hums "Well, must be some form of protest." He comments, making His daughter glare at him.

Her mom looks at her for an explanation and she gave her a 'ill tell you later' look before waving as she heads towards the door.

Max slams his door shut and throws his hat off and onto the stairs in his room. He tosses his backpack and shrugs his coat off hurriedly. He sighs and goes over to his fish tank, grabbing the fish food. "Hey, guys." He greets his fish as he shakes the fish food into it before setting it back down. He turns and walks towards his bed and lays on it, closing his eyes as he sighed.

He looks over and grabs one of his pillows, hugging it to his chest as he sighed dreamily. "Oh, Allison. Your so soft. I just wanna…"

His closet opens and reveals a girl with long curly hair or orange, dressed as a witch. "Boo!" She laughs, startling Who quickly looked behind him. "Dani!"

She laughs, clapping at her success and walks over to him with a smile. She jumps over him onto his bed as she brags "I scared you, I scared you. Ha-ha! Ha-ha!" She sighs and lays back onto his bed, noe mocking him "I'm Allison, Allison. Kiss me, I'm Allison." She teased, making Max get up and look at her in irritation.

"Mom and Dad told you to stay out of my room." He reminds her. Dani only stands up on the bed. "Don't be such a crab." She smiles and starts jumping up and down on the bed "Guess what? You're gonna take me trick-or-treating."  She tells him, twirling around as she jumps. Max rolls his eyes "Not this year, Dani." He sighs tiredly, already being done with his younger sister's energy.

Dani jumps off the bed next to Max "Mom said you have to."
"Well, she can take you." She throws his hands down in exasperation, being fed up and wanting to be left alone. He goes to walk away but Dani grabs him and brings him back, making him look down at her "She and Dad are going to the party at Town Hall." She explains to him.

Max yanks himself from her grip and walks away "Well as Scarlette to take you." He suggests. "She can't. She's "hanging out" with someone." She puts quotations at her words. Max raised his brow at this, only to shake his head and walk away "Well You're eight. Go by yourself." He points out, walking over to his drum set and sitting down, starting to play it.

Dani hurries over as she continues to try and convince him "No way. This is my first time. I'll get lost. Besides, it's a full moon outside. The weirdos are out." She tells him, trying to convince him. He only continues to play, ignoring her.
She goes on his other side and leans on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around his neck making him stop. "Come on, Max. Couldn't you forget about being a cool teenager just for one night?" She pleaded desperately, making him sigh.
"Please? Come on. We used to have so much fun with the three of us trick-or-treating. Scarlette never cared about being a teenager and still took us trick-or-treating." She tries to persuade him. "I know Scarlette won't be with us, but it'll be just like old times."
