Lavender - A Spooky Month AU Fanfiction.

Unwanted Guest - Part 4

The two were enveloped by shadow, and then, they found themselves pushing open the doors of a van. With a smile as Skid held onto the Happy Fella doll they had purchased, they both hopped out of the vehicle they had somehow gotten into.

With a grin on his face as the cold air brushed against the fabric of their costumes, Skid spoke aloud with an overly cheerful demeanor. "Let's go to the candy store!"

"Yeah! Let's go!" Pump added.

Skid and Pump began to walk foward—yet as their little legs moved, they came to a stop when they heard the sound of a scrawny and oddly annoying voice from a distance.

"Ay!" It said—they could practically hear the grin radiating from its voice.

The two turned their heads, and.. surely enough—three familiar figures were in the distance, walking up to them. And the one who had spoken to them, with brown curly hair sprouting from beneath his hat, and a mischevious grin on his face, was Roy.

"What are you two dumbs doing here?" He snickered. For a moment, he stood grinning down at them.

"We came to visit the hospital!" Skid beamed in reply.

"Hahah.. well—" Roy stopped. He turned his head slightly. From behind him, both Robert and Ross were trembling and slightly shuddering as they looked down at the kids. Roy cocked his head to the side, and turned to face them. "..why are you guys shivering?"

Robert shuddered. "Don't you remember, Roy?"

"Yeah, dude.." Ross gulped. "The big monster."

Roy paused, his voice softening. "..oh.. it—it.. wasn't a.. dream..?"

Oh, Roy thought Eyes was a dream? Skid and Pump turned to face eachother with a large grin, clearly thinking the same thing. He must have wanted to play with Eyes again! They both beamed at the same time, "Wanna meet it again?"

Roy remained quiet, before a frustrated groan came out of his mouth, and he turned sharply. "You two shut up!" He yelled. The two went quiet, their bodies slightly stiffening at the rise of volume in his voice. "I can't believe I got in trouble thanks to—thanks to two stupid weird kids!"

The two blankly looked up at him, and they only smiled in reply. From behind him then, Ross approached.

Ross placed a hand on his shoulder. "Roy. It's okay. You—"

"It's not okay!" Roy cried. The two could have sworn they saw a slight bead of a tear beginning to form from his eye as Ross flinched. He turned back to them. "I don't know what happened that day, but I will find out! And it's not even October, weirdos!"

Huh..? What did he mean? It was spooky month! Geez, did everyone around not know it was that month or something? The two shrugged as they looked over at eachother as if in search for answers, but found that the other was as confused as them.

Roy growled, but then stopped. "..what is that?"

Skid giggled. "It's a Happy Fella!"

"Yo, my sis has one of those!" Robert beamed, "Thats really frickin' cool!" He turned over to Ross with an excited grin. "It even sings the Happy Fella song!"

Roy looked down at them both, and then.. a grin began to form on his lips.

Kevin drummed his hand against the arm of the couch, and his eyes trailed over to the watch that was strapped to his wrist. An hour had passed.. and that Dexter guy still hadn't been back from the basement. He looked down at his watch, and his lips began to curl into a slightly impatient frown.
