They the Wubbox : Rewritten

[Chapter 49]

Fire wasn't very used to the coldness of bone island, but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle. However, the boney monsters that lived there seemed to unnerve him. Seeing bones through the TV is way less creepy in real life, but at least it was somewhat stifled by how nice they were.
Clackula and Clavavera were the ones who made it, and were now celebrating Beat Hereafter.

Every monster joined in, and some who never came to bone island decided to take a visit.
And somehow, he was able to convince Wubbox to come out of his dark corridor, and get some fresh air where he won't be struck with lighting.

Fire was waiting near the gate for Wubbox, and he would come across a few friends while waiting there. Everyone was having a good time, and all the stands, restaurants, activities, memorials, and everything was astounding to him.
He hadn't ever done other seasonal events other than Feast-Ember, the one a year ago being a play where he had been the villain of the story, but this year, there was no play, but he still had a lot of fun. But now, he was seeing bone island's culture along with Beat Hereafter traditions.
He wondered if Rare Clavavera would also be here if she wasn't in prison.

The island was adorned with colorful paper and thin plastic "papel picado" in shapes of monsters, flowers, or other patterns, skeletons of many clothing and decorations, orange Marigolds or "flor de muerto", sugar skulls decorated with hearts and other symbols, and many more beautiful things which seemed to liven up the blue and white island, even though this was a celebration of the dead.

Maybe other seasonal events were just as beautiful and lively, but he had never been there while they happened, just online or on the news. The experience was always way better than the looks. Maybe next he should go to the Festival of Yay when it comes around.
"Hey, Fire.." Wubbox's low voice came through beside him.

"Oh, hey Wubbox! You finally made it!" Fire smiled down at him, holding back the urge to hug him, as Wubbox would probably throw him down to the rocky ground.

"Yeah. Now what is this?" Wubbox moved over from the opening, looking into the town that was lively with colors, monsters, stands, and many more. It all made his CPU hurt.

"It's Beat-Hereafter! It's celebrated every year for a week, and I heard this year something new would happen, but I wasn't told exactly what. This season is amazing, just look at it!"

"Yeah, it looks like Whiz-Bang exploded all over this place in the most painful way possible."

"Oh don't be such a downer, Wub! It's great, and I know it might be a lot for you, but we'll find a quiet place for you, and I'll get us something, alright?"

"I guess so."

"Come on, i did a little looking around just before it started, i know where we can go." Fire assured him gently, and took Wubbox's hand.
They began to quietly walk through the crowd of monsters, some dressed up and some not.

Punklton, Runklton, and Eunklton were also there, but off to the sidelines waiting for something. Fire kept Wubbox's hand in his, leading him carefully through the streets. Eventually, they turned a corner, and Fire brought him to a less crowded corner where many sat and ate, but not sticking around to chat and be loud. It seemed perfect despite how cold it was, and the few kids and smaller monsters roaming around and playing.

Fire said he would be back after a minute of walking, and since Wubbox brought his bag, he could do something while he was gone. Fire had asked if Wubbox wanted to come along, but he declined, and told Fire to just be back as soon as he could. He didn't want to do that socializing bullshit, because he did just enough with his kids and seldom texts from his phone.
