   "Come on, Eiji. How can you be so cruel." blond American whined. Still walking next to a dark-haired Japanese boy who was picking out some ingredients for dinner. "Ash, I already told you we are having Natto today and that's final" Eiji declared, "But why torture only me?" Ash continued.

   "It can't be helped, for some reason, everyone is not home today." Eiji shrugged and walked away to the cashier. "Geez, I wonder why." Ash thought sarcastically before catching up to Eiji. Once they paid for their things they hurriedly walked out until something caught Ash's eye making him stop in his track to take a better look.

He paled instantly.

Eiji noticed that Ash stopped so he peered over his shoulder to see some man handing out flyers few feet away from them, but that probably wasn't what caught Ash's attention, no it was the fact that man giving out flayers had been dressed as pumpkin, well not like a real pumpkin, but he had black shirt with smiling jack-o'-lantern on it, similar hat, black jeans and orange shoes with black jack-o'-lanterns printed on them. Eiji smiled when he saw Ash looking at embodied version of his fear.

   "Oh, I wonder what this is about. Can delicate American wait here, I am gonna go check out why is there pumpkin lord here?" Eiji teased while marching away. Once Eiji stopped next to a man, he talked for a few moments before taking some piece of paper from him and after scanning it he smiled and walked hurriedly back to Ash. "Ash, look, look," Eiji said grinning as he gave blond American paper he took. Ash barely glanced at the sheet before he paled once again since the paper in his hand was none other than a poster for a Halloween festival.

   "What the fuck is this! Ash jelled once he saw smiling jack-o'-lantern, making Eiji grin even wider. "Hey, if you saw it give it back I want to read it." Eiji took the poster out of Ash's hands and started reading it out loud "Be greeted by friendly monsters and enjoy pumpkin-themed games right through to the end of October. If you dare, enter the haunted house 'Hyuuuuuudoro' or meet the zombies on 'zombie street' on October 7." Eiji read and turned around poster inspecting it's back.

   "Anyone visiting the park in costume gets in for free. As a bonus, the popular 'Jewellumination' winter lights event, featuring millions of LED lights, will be switched on from October 10." Eiji added.

"....." both of them stood there for a few moments thinking about the poster.

"... Ash, we're going" Eiji stated with determination leaving no place to argue.

   "Ni-saaaan, found him, Ash is hiding in the backyard." the short dark-haired girl called once she spotted Ash who was currently leaning on the maple tree. "Neumi! you traitor, whose side are you on?!" Ash shouted at the girl.

   "Ash, mom said I can go as long as both of you are coming as well, so yeah I am with my ni-san." Neumi replied calmly but with a cheeky grin.

   "So you finally found him, huh. Good work Neumi." Eiji smiled patting his younger sisters head before he turned to Ash "And you, you will surely enjoy your punishment" Eiji added.

   "Eiji, help, there are too many pumpkins here!" Ash screamed in panic as he once again looked around him, his eyes frantically trying to find a way to get away from the circle of pumpkins he was in. Eiji was right next to him, trying really hard to not laugh out loud at Ash, again.
