You yawned as you set your books in your bag. Today was the day, and you didn't sleep at all since that dream last night, so you stayed up to fix up Cornflake. Now your bab (no I didn't misspell it, I say Bab way to much) was all sewed up with a small red button eye. He looked like a little sock puppet with his ' eye'. " Alright, I'm done." You said to no one whatsoever as your placed the last Wiccan book you had in the bag. Sally was gonna take you to the Town Square while Jack went to fetch the kids. You stood up and held your arm out for Cornflake. Cornflake curled around your arm and you walked out of your room.
~•~

" You have everything, right?" " Yup! Quiz me." Sally sat on the stone holding the green fountian water in. " Wiccan books?" " Check." " Heart charger that uses sunlight?" " Check." " You doll collection?" " Che- Wait, how did you know?" Sally shrugged her shoulders. " I clean your room when you're alseep." You rolled your eyes and sat down beside her. " You're a creep." " I know." Cornflake slithered off your arm and onto the stone. You turned around and stared at the water. " Why is that water green?" Sally shrugged. " I don't know myself. Can I see your dolls?" " Hm? Oh, yeah sure. Lemme just-" You opened your bag and shuffled a few things around and you pulled out the dolls.  Sally took the one of ‘Ben’ and looked at it in her hands.
" It's amazing that you know how to make this stuff. I didn't even teach you how to sew or stitch." She flipped the doll in her hands and touched the green yarn. " I know." While Sally gawked at your dolls, you had stood up and started climbing the weird stone carving in the middle of the fountian. ( Wen u dot Kno hoes to spel a wod) You came to the top of the ‘ Carving’ and scanned the area. Even though Halloween Town was small, it still amazed you. " So, for Halloween, do I have to bring the kids here? Or do we just stay where they stay?" " You bring them here of course." You nodded. " Oh, okay. What do we have to do for Halloween? I don't know how to celebrate it." Sally turned around to face you. " Don't worry about that. All we do is sing in the middle of the night and that's it." She turned back around. You noticed that she was reading your book on Wicca. " Oh, well that sound boring."

Sally shrugged. " It is kinda boring. Heh, I heard that in the Living World they hand out candy with rat poison and needles in the candy." " That sounds Badass!" You had wrapped your legs on the top of the stone thing and was hanging upside down to be on Sally's level, your sweater rolled up to your chest. " Yes, well, in the living world; Who ever eats poison ‘dies’." You turned to your side, confused. ( Like that scene in Big Hero 6 when Tadashi is holding Hiro upside down and Hiro looks at that little bot thing on his desk) " What does that word mean? ‘ Dies’? Define it!" You pulled yourself up. " I don't know actually. I'm guessing it's kinda like us."
" Oh." You continued looking over the Town and the grave yard. You ran your finger over a scar that was on your nose. You don't know how you got it, but you always ran your fingers over it when you where nervous. You saw the tall skeleton walking with three figures by him. " Sally, I see them!" " Where?" You looked again. They where almost at the giant gate. " A-almost at the gate." Sally put your dolls and your book back into your bag and stood up. You pulled your hood over your head more, completely covering your mix-matched eyes, but leaving enough space so you could still see.

" So what's this ‘ Big Surprise’ you loons dragged us out to see?" A boy dressed as a demon asked, taking off his mask. He was deathly pale and his lips where a solid blue. The other two kids took of their masks too, all three of them where deathly pale. A Witch, a Demon, and a Skeleton. " Yeah, all I see is a cloak on that thing." The Witch spoke up, pointing at you. She couldn't see your body due to the cloak and the hood. " Oh! Y/n, come down." Sally turned around and called up to you.

" I think shes a bit too loony." " I know, there no one here named Y/n." " What kid of a name IS Y/n, exactly?"

The three kids stopped talking when they saw you step down from the [Thing] in the middle of the fountian. " That's it? A person." " Not just any person! Dr. Finklesten made her, she's your personal care taker!" The kids didn't have quite a happy reaction. " What?!" " We where doing fine on our own!" " Why is her eye mechanical?" Well, exept for the small one. " Why a babysitter?" " Yeah! And why dose she have a different colored eye?" Deja Vu came crashing down on you. " Oh boy... Well, Y/n, meet Lock, Shock and Barrel." Shock had her arms crossed, Lock did the same but he turned around, and Barrel just stared at you.

What? I'm lazy.

You crawled out of the cramped cage and stood up. The tree house thing was really Dusty and dimmer than the Town. The only light source was a few candles that where lit up by some tube thing. You felt something walk across your hand and you looked down. A spider. You screamed and stood up.(Edit: WHOOPZ you stood up twice, I didn't notice that I wrote that except for now) The spider fell off your hand and you breathed heavily. " Wow, you sure are a Scaredy Cat." " No I'm not! I just hate bugs..." Shock picked up that spider. " Well, your gonna hate this place." " Why's that?" Shock walked over to the tube thing and hit the top of it. Bugs came out of it like a waterfall and you jumped back. Shock just stood there, Lock was laughing at you, and Barrel just walked past you guys and hopped into a bathtub that was there somehow and proped his feet on the side of it. Soon enough, the bugs went back into the tube thing and you could finally breath. Cornflake slithered out of your bag and onto the wall.
Shock screamed. " What is that?!" You cocked an eyebrow and mover from the corner you where in. " It's a snake." You picked up Cornflake off of the wall. " Don't come near me with that thing!" " Go near her with it!" Lock said. Barrel had got out of the tub thing and saw standing beside you, laughing. You grinned to and took a step twords Shock. " NO, NO, NO, NO!" You laughed at Shock and let Cornflake slithered onto your shoulders. " Okay, Okay. I stopped. Cornflake isn't gonna bite you anyway."

Gosh, I promise I won't be this lazy on the next chapter

You finished the last stitch on Cornflakes eye. It's button wasn't stitched on right so you had to fix it. Lock, Shock, and Barrel where alseep in their room and you where gonna sleep on the couch beside their bedroom door. You yawned and held Cornflake up to examine it's button. " Yup, all fixed Buddy." You stood up and set Cornflake on a beam above the couch.
