// I forgot to ask a question last time!
So I'll ask one right now. And another later.

Question 1: What were you for Halloween? //

"Happy Halloween!" Trace leapt onto my bed and squashed me into the mattress.
He's so light that he feels like another blanket.
I murmur "Happy Halloween."
"C'mon! We gotta get dressed for work. Mr.Kabs said we can wear our Halloween costumes, and even give out candy as long as we pay for it ourselves." Trace rolled around on me as he excitedly babbled.
"Okay, okay." I grumble and wipe the sleep from my eyes.
"Im already wearing mine." Trace got up and stood next to me.
I sit up and turn to him.
He's wearing an Oreo cookie on his back with all white clothes. We both agreed on being one half of an Oreo, so whenever we hugged we became a full Oreo.
Joss was dressed as a ninja turtle at the Pre-Halloween party.
Plankton was a mad scientist, his wife was dressed as a lab assistant.
Mr.Kabs was dressed up as a robber.
Solward dressed.. As himself, and left early. Patrick was a pirate, Pearl was a princess, and Sandy was a cowgirl.
"I'll wait in the hallway for you" Trace waved and quickly walked out of my room, closing the door behind him.
I yawn and get out of my comfortable bed, standing on the cold floor with my bare feet.

At work

"Hello and welcome to the krusty krab, what would you like?" I smile at the customer in front of me.
"I heard there was free candy." The teenager spoke in a very rusty tone as he chewed his bubblegum.
"Yeah, it comes with your order." I nod.
He blinked slowly, "Can I just have the candy?"
"But you're not dressed up!" Trace spoke from behind me, his head out the window.
"So? You gave it to that kid, they aren't dressed." The boy pointed to a toddler that's eating its candy at a table with its family.
Trace explained "Because she's just a toddler."
The boy groaned and rolled his eyes, "Well, whatever I'm leaving."
"Okay, Come again..?" I nervously smile  as he turned and left.
"That was weird." Trace shrugged and went back to work.

After work

"Trick or treat time!" Trace grinned as he ran through the front door of the Krusty Krab.
"Yay!" I get up from the ground and join him in running.
I was waiting for his shift to end so we could quickly run and go trick or treating while there's still time.
He got off at 6PM, I got off at 5.
We both run down the street and use our empty pumpkin baskets from this morning (the ones we gave out candy with) as our bags for candy.
"Let's go to that house first!" Trace pointed to a house across the street.
I nod and we both cross the street, going to the house and knocking.
Someone opened the door and we yell trick or treat.
The person was Joss, wearing her ninja turtle costume.
"Oh hello." Joss chuckled as she grabbed her bowl of candy.
"Hey Joss, I didn't know you lived here." Trace looked around.
"Oh, I don't, I'm just visiting my-.. Friend." Joss spoke as she gave us both big hand fulls of candy.
Trace and I glance at each other, both suspicious.
"Thanks," I smile to her and wave.
"Have fun!" Joss grinned and waved back as we walked down the driveway.
"What was that?" Trace whispered to me.
I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know.. But it sure was suspicious." I whisper back.
"We need to ask her next time we see her." Trave whispered.
"Definitely." I whisper.
"Why are we still whispering?" He whispered.
"I dunno." I shrug my shoulders.
We both laugh and continue down the street.
"Last one to that house is a rotten tomato!" Trace suddenly burst into a sprint.
"Which house?!" I yell and run after him.
He just laughs and continues running.
"Trace!" I shout and run a bit faster.

// A/N:

I still havent been feeling well and didnt feel motivated to do anything.
I hope I'll be able to post another one soon, before my birthday (Dec 2nd).
I wanted to finish the Halloween chapter for you guys before I moved onto Christmas.
Anyways, here's the second question!
