~ Chapter 2 : The Spooky Kids ~

The next day, on Friday, Father Gregor was back inside the church, talking with Tikki. Tikki was showing the priest the rest of her kwami friends.

"And finally, Plagg, the kwami of Destruction. He's basically my opposite." Tikki hesitated as she pointed to the other kwami. Plagg looked like a tiny black cat with big green eyes. "Hey, Mr. Gregor, do you have any cheese? I'm hungry." Plagg asked, Gregor frowning a little. "No." "Aw."

"Don't mind him, he's hungry all the time," Tikki told Father Gregor, "He's also really lazy." "Well, that's true, but I'll help out if I need to! Promise me, just give me a lot of cheese." Tikki groaned and facepalmed, unimpressed by the fellow kwami. "Uh ... well-" Father Gregor tried to say, before he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the church door. The priest turned to the small creatures, them all flying right to their home, the Miracle Box. "I'll be right back, one moment." "Alright!" Tikki said, Father Gregor heading right to the door. Luckily, his leg was healing even more now, so he was slowly walking normally.

Father Gregor opened the door, only to see the sheriff and deputy of the town right in front of him. John, the sheriff, greeted the priest. "Hello again, Father Gregor. We'd like to, uhhh, take you in for some questioning for what happened yesterday." Jack, the deputy, nodded to what his partner said. Father Gregor had some free time as well that day, so he agreed to come.

The trio were now riding along the road in the police car, Father Gregor looking out the window to see the town scenery. The dark skies, the autumn leaves on the trees, and the occasional passerby walking along the sidewalk was weirdly peaceful to watch. He did sometimes look back down to read the Bible he had, though. A few minutes into the car ride, Gregor looked back out the window to see Skid and Pump walking along the sidewalk. Well, they were walking a bit quick, but they weren't exactly running. They seemed to be talking about their plans for that day, as usual. "We should go to my house!" Pump said to his best friend, to which he agreed. "Yeah, let's go!" And just like that, the duo headed off to their next adventure.

As soon as Skid and Pump got to the latter's house, they went straight to Pump's room. They both looked around for something to do, before something caught Skid's eye. A book on Pump's shelf, titled 'Goo'. "Let's read The Day of the Living Dolly again!" Skid picked the book up, pointing to the creepy illustration of the main antagonist on the cover. "And we can eat candy too!" Pump said from across the room, suddenly getting out a bucket of candy. Pump liked to call it his 'candy stash'. Skid was a bit hesitant about the sweets, honestly, due to something Father Gregor had said about them being 'poison'. The boy quickly shrugged it off, though, practically jumping onto Pump's bed. Pump quickly followed behind, opening the book, ready to read.

Once Father Gregor, John and Jack were at the police station, the questioning began. John tapped his pen onto his chin, staring into a notebook. "So, uhh, we've had multiple reports of a giant, pink, candy creature rummaging through the town. People said it was turning witnesses into pink globs as well. Apparently, you were after it, and turned it ... human by exorcising a butterfly? Wha- what is this all about?"

Father Gregor nodded to what the confused sheriff said. "Yes, this all happened. I saw The Sweetener, chased after him, and exorcised him. I'm assuming that he was possessed, because he turned into a human after I did so. I haven't caught his name, I don't think, but I believe he was the cashier at ... 'The Candy Club'."

"That thing had a name?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow, before John's eyes widened in bewilderment hearing who the villain really was. "Candy Kid?!" The sheriff suddenly exclaimed. "Um ... yes." Father Gregor murmured. "He was unconscious when I 'freed' him, unfortunately." John thought for a moment, staring into thin air, before he wrote the details in his notebook. "Do you know why this happened in the first place?" Jack then asked. "I'm not 100% sure, mister, but I believe it had something to do with the butterfly. Once I broke the hat The Sweetener had, a dark, corrupted butterfly flew out of it. I exorcised it, and then he turned back into this 'Candy Kid' you're talking about." "Ah-hah." John murmured, taking the cigarette he was smoking out of his mouth.
