Halloween Mischief

The Breaking Point

        No! NO! Sebastian mentally screamed. He had just walked out of the room for a minute! Not even! Instead of the nice, bright, decorated room he had set up, he walked in to see pumpkins everywhere! Pumpkin stickers, pumpkin lights, real pumpkins randomly placed everywhere; even streamers with pumpkins on them were hanging from the ceiling. And once again, how did that all get there? He didn’t know!

            “CIEL!!” The blue-haired child jumped from his chair. Sebastian never yelled in normal situations. So bolting down the halls, he wondered what the problem was.

            “Sebast-no.” He stopped at the sight of the room. “No. I am NOT dealing with this!” Turning, he tried to run, but Sebastian quickly caught him.

            “We have to figure this out now! We have to stop this! Or else, I’m going to go crazy!” Sebastian yelled while dealing with a struggling Ciel.

            “You? You’re the one driving me crazy! Now put me down!” Ciel shouted.

            “Aw Ciel! The decorations are so adorable!” The two males paused in their catfight to turn and stare at Lizzy. She was promptly ignoring them for running around the room and ogling at all the pumpkins. “I didn’t know you loved Halloween this much!”

            “I don’t.” Ciel grumbled. Finally, while his butler was distracted, he was able to escape. Only to be pulled into a different hug from Lizzy.

            “Liar! Why else would you have all these decorations?”

            “I assure you, miss, that these were not done on purpose.” Sebastian tried to explain the room. Lizzy stared at him.

            “Oh, I was talking about the garden and the front area. But this room is nice too, I guess.” She muttered the last part to herself.

            “What?” Ciel and Sebastian both deadpanned. Lizzy turned wide-eyed to them.

            “What do you mean, what? It’s your place isn’t it?” She asked, only to be answered by empty air.

            “NO!!!!” The two pulled the front door open to see the lawn covered in Jack-O-Lanterns, inflatable pumpkins and pumpkin shaped bushes and trees. Of course, the stone stairwell was painted orange along with the dirt path and most of the front window shutters. Even the water spouting from the fountain was orange. And once again, they didn’t know how.
