Pumpkin Carving Competition - Part 1

I once entered a story contest for a Roblox game and surprisingly won the contest, having my story implemented into the game. I'm simply reusing the idea of the story for this one. The original prompt is as follows:

Lead Up: After wishing upon the fountain, you walk around the park to look for fallen leaves and pinecones. As you wander around, you hear a small chatter by the docks and decide to head over to see what the commotion is. You come across a table with four pumpkins and a baby-faced girl standing nearby. "Hello there! I'm holding a pumpkin house carving competition! Would you like to join?" the girl exclaims. You nod at the girl with a friendly smile, look back at the table and choose...

Result - A3: You choose the orange pumpkin, feeling a strange magical aura attached to it. You look for a spare table and notice your friend Anna gesturing for you to come over to her table. While you both work on scooping the inside of your pumpkins, she excitedly tells you about her plans to celebrate Halloween and her costume for the yearly holiday. As your friend chatters away, you notice a faint glow coming from inside your pumpkin. You carefully scoop out the rest of your pumpkin and gasp at your discovery. Your friend also catches sight of the rare item hidden within your pumpkin and congratulates you on your findings. You smile at her as you slowly take the halo out from the pumpkin. (+ halo)

Feel free to take a wild guess at what Roblox game this was used in. Spacing in this story may look a little weird, especially with the dialogue. I guess Wattpad hates indents.

"Oh, you're going to love the party! All Hallow's Eve is just a wonderful celebration, even for the less magical folk like you!"

Nostra eyed the netherkin and took a step back. "I'd prefer taking a stroll by the fallen leaves and pinecones," they scoffed.

Stella simply laughed. "Oh, come on! There's going to be apple bobbing, spooky storytelling, a scavenger hunt, a market and a bonfire! Even Azura is attending!"

Still, Nostra just shrugged, turning back to look at the trees. "All of that just isn't my cup of tea. Besides, Azura's probably only attending because Patrick is hosting this party."

Stella pouted but then a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes.

"Hilda's setting up a pumpkin carving competition!"

Nostra's head snapped back towards Stella. Stella laughed. "I knew that would get your attention!"

Nostra scowled. "Big deal. I've heard Hilda always does something big for these celebrations."

Stella laughed again. "So, you'll attend for her, won't you?"

Nostra rolled their eyes before reluctantly nodding. "Lead the way then."

Stella didn't move. "Aren't you going to dress up?"

Nostra cocked their head, staring at Stella. "Dress up? Whatever for?"

Stella stared back at Nostra, her eyes wide in shock. "For the celebration! It's what everyone does for All Hallow's Eve!"

Nostra sighed. "If you insist."

Stella grinned as she grabbed Nostra's arm, giggling as she dragged the grumpy doctor back to the castle.

The fairy and the skeleton walked side by side, approaching the hauntingly decorated archway. The fairy's wings shimmered like stars in a midnight sky and her dress was as delicate as butterfly wings. The skeleton's long black rags waved wildly in the breezy evening, blending in with the shadows of the night. The skeleton hugged themselves, their bony fingers exposed and shaking. Ghosts, witches, clowns, vampires and a whole menagerie of animals and other creatures passed by the duo, entering the courtyard through the arch.
