Magiclicas Nonsense

October

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I've been working on this (for the most part) all month?!

This happens before episode 23 but imagine that it happened afterwards and someone thinks that they see Chase's ghost around Everston and flips out and the main cast just breaks down because feels ;^;

I just realized that the timeline for this actually doesn't work because Halloween happens before the winter ball which happens before Valentines when Melissa discovered her heritage... eh oh well Jax will be missing on this particular Halloween that doesn't fit into the timeline but somehow also does :D

—————————

Melissa closed her eyes and tilted her head up, letting the chilly autumn breeze blow through her aqua curls. The weather had changed overnight- just yesterday it had literally been shorts-and-T-shirt weather. Students in school had been joking that nature was skipping the good October weather this year and was going to stay hot until the first snowfall, but Melissa was very glad that nature had not done that and had blessed them with the perfect atmosphere for Halloween.

Melissa's phone was constantly vibrating inside the hidden pocket in her school uniform skirt- when she had gotten off the bus Ivy and Quinston had been debating what Melissa. Should be for Halloween.

It was only a few weeks away and she still didn't have a costume!

Melissa had not actually planned on trick-or-treating. That was something she had always done with Jax, but with him missing she felt guilty going without him. They had gone together for as long as she could remember and it was going to have been some time that she could actually spend with him since school and drama had split them apart in the past months.

But both Quinston and Ivy had profoundly refused to accept this and had agreed that they would help Mel make up lost time...

...and then immediately got into an argument on what she should dress up as.

Melissa honestly wondered how the two were the ones that got this friend group together.

Ding dong!

"I got it, mom!" The bluenette exclaimed and raced down the stairs. It was evening, which was a suspicious time for someone to be ringing the doorbell.

Melissa opened the door to find no one there.

"Hello?" She called uncertainly. I should have brought a knife in case this is another kidnapping... I guess my magic will have to do?"

"Is anyone there?" Melissa stepped forward and lightly kicked something with her foot.

There was a small tin pail filled with small candy on her porch?

The adopted Magiclica picked the basket of goodies up and looked around once more before heading back inside.

"What was it, honey?" Her father looked up from his (parenting) book as his daughter entered the living room.

"I'm... not sure?" Melissa replied. She lifted the basket in her grasp. "This was on the front porch."

Her mother gasped excitedly. "We've been booed!"

"Booed?" Both Melissa and her father echoed.

While Amanda took the basket from her daughter and started talking nonsense about needing to put another basket together and coming up with an elaborate plan to hide it ("Melissa! Do you think you could use your magic and float it over to the neighbor's doorstep? It would be like a ghost was actually there! OooOoo!") the other two family members were completely lost on this apparent Halloween neighborhood tradition.
