A Bit Later.

Kent finally pulls into Violets driveway and parks, the three hop out of the car. Benny rushes out quickly, Violet calls out. "Hey, slow down!" Benny turns around, "It's not my fault you're just slow!" Violet raises an eyebrow, "Slow?" Benny nods, "Yup." Violet replies, "Get in the house." Benny grins, "Okay!" He rushes up the porch, and dashes into the house. Kent chuckles and steps over to Violet, "He's got a point, you can't keep up with him, baby." Violet glares at him, "You shut up, handsome." He grins and places his hands in the air innocently, "My bad..." She chuckles and shakes her head, beginning to walk into the house as he follows her. They both make it inside, seeing a note on the kitchen counter. Violet picks it up and begins to read, "Work's going until twelve, I'll see you tonight. Have fun. - Mom." Kent asks, "Soo...she's not home right now?" Violet shakes her head, "Nope." Kent asks, "Wanna go start getting ready?" Violet nods, "Yeah, then I'll ask around to see if anyone can watch Benny." The two head upstairs and into Violets bedroom, Violet closes the door. She opens her closet revealing two costumes. A Morticia & Gomez Addams set. She smiles and takes out the Gomez costume, she holds it out for Kent. "There you go, 'Mr. Addams.'" He takes it, "Why, thank you. Mrs. Addams." They both begin to change into their costumes, they both finish up and take a look at each other. "WOW. You. Look. Fucking. Stunning." Kent says. Violet smiles, "Take a look at yourself, I don't get to see you in a suit a lot. I'm not complaining, I like this view." He grins, "Don't start something you can't finish, honey." She shrugs, "But I like it." He steps closer to her, a mischievous smirk on his face. "I wouldn't mind you doing something about it." She raises an eyebrow, "Is that right?" He nods, "Mhm." She grins and takes hold of his tie, pulling him closer until their lips meet. They begin to kiss passionately, until they both fall onto the bed. She crawls atop of him, "Someone trying to get an early start, or what?" He chuckles, "Is it working?" She nods, "Sure is." She reaches down beginning to unbutton his jacket...until they hear rapid banging at the door. "VIOLET, VIOLET, VIOLET!" She rolls her eyes, "Oh, my fucking God." She gets off Kent and the bed, stepping over to the door. She opens it to see Benny, "What." Benny asks frantically, "When are we going trick or treating?!" She makes a face, "Dude, it's like six o clock. Not until like, an hour!" Benny calls into the room, "But Kent wants to go now, right Kent?!" Kents eyes widen as he continues buttoning up his jacket again, "Uuh, RIGHT!" Violet snaps her head to Kent, giving him a knowing look. He clears his throat, "BUT! I mean, it IS still a little early, little dude...an hour isn't too bad, right?" Benny groans, "DAMNIT!" He scurries off. Violet calls out, "Hey, YOU can't say THAT!" Violet then shuts the door, locking it this time. She turns back to Kent, "Now that that's done with..." Kents grin widens as she gets back on the bed, crawling back on top of him.

Dean steps out of his house, having his varsity jacket on and his skin painted a bit pale. He dabs on some fake blood around his mouth and begins to walk, hearing lots of cheering in the distance, knowing that the annual Halloween Fair is about to open up and start for the night. He walks for a while until he sees a car pull up next to him, "Hey!" He looks to the side to see Courtney, and Paige in the passenger seat. Both in their costumes. "Hey! You're that chick from Clueless." Paige smiles widely and squeals, "I AM!" He then looks at Courtney and asks, "What are you? Why are you green..?" Courtney frowns, "I'm Poison Ivy!" Paige chimes in, "I couldn't tell who she was at first either, man." Courtney asks, "I should be asking you, what are you?" He looks down at himself, "I'm a zombie football player!" Courtney makes a face, "...Real creative, Dean." He frowns, "Okay, whatever. At least I don't look like a booger." Courtney glares back at him, "I was gonna offer a ride, but.." He immediately begs, "No, no, no! Wait, I'm sorry! Your costume is just...SICK!" She smiles, "Okay, good. Get in!" He walks around the car, stepping over to the passenger door. "Come on, Paige. My turn to get in the passenger." Paige whines, "But I call shotguuuunnnnn!" He rolls his eyes, "Come on, out-" Paige cuts him off with a scream, "NO! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU GET IN THE BACK!" Dean and Courtneys eyes widen at the sudden outburst. "I was just messing..I'll get in the back." Dean says, sounding a bit startled. Paige immediately smiles, "Yay!" Courtney nudges Paige, "Do you really like the passenger seat that much..?" Paige nods gleefully, "Uh-huh!" Courtney presses her foot on the gas, "Okay.." A bit of awkward silence goes on until Paige finally speaks up, "Okay, I told him to go to the backseat very politely. I didn't say I was going to chop off his dick if he didn't." Courtney and Dean both say in sync, "WHAT?!" Paige yells back, "WHAT?" Courtney blinks, "Oh, my God, Paige??" Dean chimes in, "Now I'm even more scared!" Paige rolls her eyes, "I was obviously kidding!" Dean leans back into the seat, "I would hope so..." Courtney brings up her hands, "Okay, can you two please calm down now. You've barely been in the car for two seconds and there's already chaos." Dean tries to intervene, "She started it!" Paige turns back, "No, YOU did!" Courtney yells, "I don't care who started it, just peace and quiet please!" Dean and Paige both oblige, keeping quiet. The drive goes on, continuing for only a small while until Courtney finally parks into the packed lot. The three step out of the car, beginning to make their way to the entrance of the fair. Theres teens running around, angry parents, and kids yelling as they scurry off. All having on different costumes. Paige looks around, "Wow, you would almost think that it's Halloween here." Courtney stares at Paige, "It IS Halloween, girl." Paige looks back at her, "Oh, right." Dean mutters to Courtney, "Is she always like this-?" Courtney shrugs, giving a so-so type look back at him. They begin to walk to the ticket booth, until a man with a white mask jumps out at them, they all recognize it immediately as Michael. The man shrieks with his arms in the air. The three all cry out in fear and jump back in terror, trying to catch their breaths. The man then begins to laugh hysterically, "Shit, it's you guys!" The man reaches up to the mask, pulling it over and off his head. They all sigh in relief when they see Claude. Courtney furrows her eyebrows, "You DICK!" Claude wipes his eyes, "Jesus Christ, you should've seen the look on your guys faces!" Dean grits his teeth, "You're lucky I didn't knock your ass out." Claude shakes his head, "I'm just getting everyone in the freaked out mood!" Paige slaps Claudes arms. He shakes his arm, "Ow!" She shouts, "Don't do that!" He winces as he holds his arm, "Goddamn, you hit hard." She crosses her arms, "You deserved that." Claude sighs, "Alright, alright. To show just how so sorry I am..." He hands them all one entrance ticket, "There you are." Dean raises an eyebrow, "How'd you even get all these?" Claude replies, "Can you just be grateful." Dean responds, "Damn, okay." Courtney asks, "Do you have two more of these for Violet and Kent when they get here?" Claude glares, "You all are so mean to me, wheres my "Why, thank you, Claude? You're so handsome."Just askin' for more?" Paige responds happily, "Thank you, Claude!" Claude smiles, "All but ONE is ungrateful, excuse me." Courtney jumps back in, "But do you?" Claude reaches in his pocket, taking out two more tickets. "Of course I do." Courtney smiles, "Good." Claude replies, "I also gotta go watch Violets brother when they do get here, she said she would pay me fifty bucks." Paige asks, "You're babysitting Benny?" He nods, "Yeah, I figured why not?" Dean then asks, "Speaking of them, when should they be here?" Courtney replies, "Violet told me earlier like..seven thirty-ish?" Claude nods, "Then we have an hour and a half to ourselves before the lovebirds get here, come on." The three all scurry off, beginning to go on rides and try different games.

Back At Violets House.

Violet finishes up her makeup, taking one last look at herself in her mirror. She turns back to Kent, seeing him sitting on her bed, touching up his fake mustache as he looks in her small handheld mirror. She chuckles, "Babe, it looks good. I promise." He groans, "I look weird with a mustache." She stands up, looking down at him. "You look adorable." He smiles and stands up, "Whatever you say, baby." They both walk out of her room, stepping over to Bennys room. Violet knocks, "Benny, you ready?" The door immediately opens, "Yep, I am!" She kneels down to his level, "Okay, an hour and a half of trick or treating then we gotta come back and Claude will be here to watch you." Benny asks, "Why just some guy from your school? Why can't you?" She responds, "Me and Kent are going to a party, but shh. Don't tell mom, I'll get some more candy for you if you don't." He immediately nods, "I won't say a word." She stands up, ruffling his hair. "Good, I'll get some big bars for you." He brings up his fist, "YAY!" Kent laughs, "We're gonna take you to the rich side of the neighborhood, Benny. All you're gonna get tonight is the HUUGGEE candy bars." Benny claps, "You both are the best." Violet and Kent both say together, "We know." Benny shoves his Spider-Man mask over his face, finishing his costume. The three head downstairs, and out the front door. They begin to walk, letting Benny go to the houses near them. Until they finally stop at one house, Benny begins to rush towards it until Violet grabs his hand. "Hey, hey. Not that house, Benny." He whines, "Why not?" Kent replies, "That's the Myers house, kiddo." They all look, it's a pretty small house, now completely abandoned. Benny shakes dramatically, "Oh, yeah. I don't wanna go there." Violet nods, "Exactly." Benny then begins to giggle, "Vi..?" Violet looks down at him, "Hm?" Benny replies, "I dare you to go up to the front door and knock." She laughs and shakes her head, "No way in hell am I doing that, bud." He pushes, "Don't be a scaredy cat!" She looks at Kent, "Don't agree with him this time." He smiles, "If it helps, I'll go up there with you to knock." She glares, "I cannot believe you." He chuckles and takes her hand, "You stay right there, my guy." Benny salutes Kent, "Okay!" Benny watches anxiously as the two begin to walk up to the house, until they make it up the porch. Violet hesitantly raises her fist, then knocks on the door. With that, the two immediately burst off the porch and rush as fast as they can back to Benny. Benny cackles, "You guys are so scared!" Kent teases, "We are, now let's get away from there before the bogeyman gets us!" The three rush down the sidewalk, going to the other houses. A figure stares from inside the Myers house, glaring intently at the three specifically from a window.
