The Ultimate Gentleman One Shots

Happy Halloween!

"Lottie! Wait up." Holly said, she had hold of Teddy's hand, the little four year old had great joy being dressed as the legendary Edward Scissorhands, his name sake.  His just turned 11 year old sister was Hermione Granger, whilst 8 year old Pippa had chosen Wednesday Adams and looked insanely cute with her pigtails. Lily and Jack had donned a witch's hat and devil horns respectively but that was it, as the 23 and 21 year old eldest siblings they wanted to be included in family traditions but didn't take the fun from the "Little's" as they had become known.

The family had joined Kate, Jamie, and their children, Emily and Max and their two, alongside Travis, Tara and Theo who was running back and forth checking on his 3 year old baby sister who was in her father's arms dressed as a fairy. It had been Johnny's idea, the bigger the group the more incognito he could be, and he loved it. Doing normal things with his family, things Holly did growing up, and that she relished in allowing the kids to do now. The adults had taken the costumes to a whole new level, with Johnny donning his Captain Jack best. "Mumma.." Teddy asked and Holly dressed as a "young" Professor McGonnagal bent down "Yes sweetie." "I think Pip has more candy than me." He said in his duel British/American accent. "She doesn't, we've all got the same look.." the kind mother pointed out the other children's baskets. "Mummy!! I see another pumpkin quick!!" Pippa yelled making the mother roll her eyes. "Quick Ted, before your sisters get it all."

The adults hung back at the driveway gates and allowed the children to climb up the few steps to the next front door. "Trick or Treat." They said in a cheerful chorus as an older woman answered the door with a bag full of treats. "My goodness aren't you the cutest bunch! A witch, a Cat! Ohh look, who are you?" She said bending down to Teddy." "I'm TEDDY SCISSORHANDS!" He said proudly making his parents gush. As the children all climbed down and made their way back to the pavement, the parents made sure to thank the kind lady before she stepped out onto her drive. "My goodness sir. That really is a fantastic costume. What a wonderful Captain Sparrow you make!! Goddess you could even be the one from the films!" She said cheerfully waving goodbye making the group smirk and Johnny rub his chin. "Still got it folks.. still got it." He chuckled as the children rushed down the sidewalk.

"Can we please???" Theo said chuckling. "I don't know bud. We'll see. Uncle Malcolm is scary at the best of times and if we knock who knows how scary he will get." Travis said to his step son. "It will be Sooooo fun." Lottie said with a hand on her hip. "Ok.. come on." Johnny smirked as he tapped in the code to the driveway of a house not far from his own. The property had been acquired a few years back to home their many staff. It now served more as a HQ for the security team, a place they could call their own without having to be on top of the Depp family constantly. The kids knew it well and yanked their friends up the gravel drive before all 9 of them banged on the front door. A light immediately was put on and the door answered "TRICK OR TREAT!!!!" The children giggled and could barely contain their excitement at getting one over on the guys who so often pranked them. "Ahhh I had a feeling you little cherubs would come knocking..." Malcolm said who was soon joined by Mark. "Look what we got you!!" The two guys handed out little goodie bags for each of the children with some candy and hot chocolate treats. Teddy immediately showed his mum his one. "Guys. This is too cute!! You spoil them!!" She gushed as she looked through the bag and helped Teddy put it in his loot bag. "Well we enjoy it. Come on let's get you guys home." The two men grabbed their jackets and shut their front door before joining the large group on the short walk back to the Depp London home.

"Did anyone recognise you boss?" "Ha. Me no. Captain Jack yes. There seems to still be so much love out there for him." "That's because he will always be loved." Holly said linking arms with her husband. Johnny lent in and kissed her head gently . "This was fun. Thank you." He whispered. "Don't thank me.. it was your idea to dress up."  "Well before we know it they won't want to and then all the magic slowly fades away." "I think we've got some time.. I mean look.." she pointed to Ted who was playing with Theo and showing off his "scissor" hands. "One day he will realise, not only who he's named after but that it's his legendary father who bought that character to life, and many others for millions of kids like him. Johnny smiled sincerely "Happy Halloween doll."
