Halloween Night

Chapter 6

Of course I am, it was just a little cold, so..." Ally's lips on his cut him off and she asked if they could go back to the car to get her mummy shirt. He said yes, so they quickly ran back to the truck to get it.

"I love Ally, but she really could use an updated wardrobe. Some of her clothing options are not the best." Trish noted as they waited for Austin and Ally to make there way back.

"Hey, don't be mean." Bella cut in, "I think her clothes are sweet. And it's sweet of Austin to participate."

Dez shook his head, "they are pretty perfect for each other."

Cassidy overheard this and laughed, "perfect? Please. He would be better with me."

"Then why isn't he with you instead of Ally?" Trish noted.

For once, Cassidy was silent.

That is when they heard Bella scream. Everyone turned quickly and Austin and Ally ran up to the group. There was a person dressed up as a mummy with terrible makeup, following her and Trent, and would not let up. Trent was yelling at the man to back off, but he kept coming towards them.

"The trick is to ignore them, they'll go away." Dallas tells them, "or point out someone who is more scared." He looks around the crowd as they head towards the line.

"Like her?" Kira points to Ally, who is cowering behind Austin.

Austin shoots Kira an unforgiving look, and Kira grins ear to ear. The mummy makes his way to her and Ally hides under Austin's arm.

"He can't touch me." She started to chant quietly, over and over.

Austin looks down at his terrified girlfriend, "maybe this wasn't the best idea." He said, "maybe I'll just take you ho-" but she cut him off.

"No! I really want to do this...I'm just a little freaked out, that's all." She said, fear evident in her voice.
