Grandma comes to visit

It was halloween night, and the whole neighborhood was out trick or treating. Trick or treat!" "Trick or treat!" "Hey, wait a minute, "What about this house?" "Forget that house, Let's go to the next one." Well almost the whole neighborhood. You and your family were the only ones not participating. "Somebody's coming." Sophie said as she looked out the window. "Come on, Sophie, You know nobody ever comes here on Halloween." Dylan said. Meanwhile you and your sister Marnie were trying to convince your mother to let you go to a Halloween party. "But, Mom, it's just a costume party, you've gotta let us go, The whole world is going, If I don't go, I'll be a freak." Marnie said. "You know, the odds were 50% I'd get one normal sister." Dylan said. You shoved him away.

"Mom, we're 13, OK? We're practically grownups, we're certainly old enough to make our own choices, Right?" You asked. "Yeah, I guess so." "Is there an age for that?" "Look (Y/n), I am sorry, but you are not going out on Halloween." Gwen said. "Why?" Marnie asked. "I have my reasons, and I will explain them to you when you're, taller." Gwen said. "Mom, you've been saying that for, like, our whole lives, OK? It's just one night, what is the big deal?" You asked. "It does seem a little unfair, I mean, seeing as how Marnie and (Y/n) like weird stuff so much." "Yeah, Halloween is, like, made for them, Skeletons, witches, vampires. They spend our whole math class drawing ghosts in their notebooks." "Guys!" Marnie said.

"All right, that's all. Thank you all for coming, You've been a lovely audience, but the show is over. Marnie and (Y/n) will see you all tomorrow." Gwen said. "Mom!" You said. She opened the door for the two girls as they left. "See you later, guys." "Here's your broom." Gwen said. "We'll bring you some candy." "Your pumpkin. Good night." Gwen said. "I am so sick of this. I want to know why we can't be like other kids and go out on Halloween." Marnie said. "Our poor little sister should be out trick-or-treating. But look at her. You've kept her from a normal childhood, and it's turned her into a wall ornament!" You said. "I think it's obvious why Halloween is bad. That whole razor-blade-in-the-apple thing was an urban myth, of course. But then, all that candy causes cavities and gum disease, and those masks everybody wears have these weird kind of toxic fumes inside that make your arms go limp, and, and..." Dylan said.

"It's totally too late for him." Marnie said. "Marnie, I'm sorry, I know that you want to go out with your friends, but there are just some things about Halloween that you don't understand." Gwen said. "Oh, right, Like there's some big, mysterious reason why we can't go out. Face it, Mom. You don't trust your own kids." You said. "That is not true." Gwen said. "Oh, yes, it is. You keep us all in this big bubble. How are we supposed to grow up if we can't explore the world, try new stuff and take some risks?" You asked. "(Y/n), I am just trying to protect you." Gwen said. "Yeah, you're protecting us from being anything but a bunch of vegetables." Marnie said. You sat down on a chair. "Hey, look! I'm a potato! Are you happy now? Maybe I'll put down some roots in the carpet. "Oh, no, (Y/n), It's too dangerous, there are things about vegetables that you don't understand." You said, mockingly. Gwen gave you a look.

"Somebody's coming!" Sophie said. Gwen went to pick up Sophie. "Come, my little wall ornament. Let's get you washed up for dinner." She said. "Somebody's coming!" Sophie said. "Come on, sweetie." Gwen said. "Why are you both so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like Mom says: It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic. Like that helps them prepare for life. Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day." Dylan said. "Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween." Marnie said. "Shh! What are you trying to do? You know how talking about Dad always bums Mom out. I mean, why can't you two pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like Arbor Day? Trees are important too, you know." Dylan said. You just rolled your eyes and laid back on the chair.

Time Skip

Sophie saw the plate of cookies for dessert on the counter and went over to eat one. "No, no, no, no, no, no." Gwen said as she took the cookie out of her hand. "Come on, Mom, It's just one cookie." Sophie said. "Not before dinner, Sophie." Gwen said. "Marnie's right. You never let us do anything fun." Sophie said. "Oh, you can have a cookie after dinner." Gwen said as she put the plate of cookies away. Sophie turned around and pouted. "I want that cookie, I really want that cookie." She said. Suddenly one of the cookies floated into the air and toward Sophie. Gwen quickly turned around. "Not again." She said. She quickly went to grab it and shoved it into her mouth just as Sophie turned around. "Are you eating a cookie?" Sophie asked. "No! Go sit down." Gwen said. "Good thing she doesn't like liver, eh, dear?" Aggie asked. Gwen turned around in surprise. "Mother!" She said. "Grandma!" Sophie said. "What are you doing here?" Gwen asked. "Grandma!" You, Marnie and Dylan ran in.

"It's so wonderful to see you and the children again. Ooh, my, my, my, my. How you've grown! Oh!" Aggie said. "Did you bring us presents?" Sophie asked. "Sophie!" Gwen scolded. "Oh, presents, presents, presents. What kind of a grandma do you think I'd be if I didn't bring you presents? They're right here in my suitcase, I just, I don't know where that thing went to. Just a minute." Aggie said. Gwen rolled her eyes. Her purse then came into the room. "Ah, there it is! Where did you get to, my little darling? Come on, Here it is!" Aggie said. "How come you've been gone so long,Grandma?" Sophie asked. "Well, you know, one thing and another. But the important thing is that I'm here now. And I'm so glad to see you all. Oh." Aggie said. Gwen managed a small smile. "Come on, come on, come on, Come on!" Aggie said as she led Sophie into another room.

"Hey, Mom, do you think you and Grandma could, like, not fight for once? I mean, we haven't seen her in over a year." You said. Then you turned to follow Aggie. "Grandma Aggie's the one who always starts it." Dylan said. "Does not." Marnie said. "Does too." Dylan said. "Does not." You said. "Does too." Dylan said. "Does not!" Marnie said. "Eureka!" Aggie said as she began to pull things out of her purse. "Whoo!" "Candy!" Sophie said. "Ooh, that's the spirit." Aggie said. "Wow!" You said. "Put on our bikinis and go swimming in it! Oh, and then we'll put up the decorations so we can get this party started!" Aggie said as she took off her jacket and threw it to Gwen. "Look, Grandma dressed up for Halloween!" Sophie said. "What? Oh, Oh, yes, of course I did. I always do!" Aggie said.

"Oh, here, honey, I want you to go and hang this on the doorknob." Aggie said as she gave Sophie a Halloween decoration. "Ew." Sophie said. "It annoys the vampires." Aggie said. Sophie went over to the door and hung it on the doorknob. "This bag defies logic. How does all this stuff fit in here?" Dylan asked. "I don't know." You said. "You know, dear, if I'm not mistaken, this is Marnie's and (Y/n)'s 13th Halloween. Mm, a wonderfully lucky number, 13." Aggie said. "Totally." Marnie said. "Yes, I'm well aware of what number it is, Mother." Gwen said. You took out a necklace. "- Hey, look, a pentagram!" You said. "Wow!" Dylan said. "Lon Chaney had one of those on his palm when he got bitten by that werewolf." Marnie said. "So he did. I've always said the movies can teach us about life." Aggie said.

"Mother, as I just got through telling Marnie and (Y/n), Halloween is not-" Gwen was cut off. "What else can I do, Grandma?" Sophie asked. "Well, now, why don't you put out the pumpkins, you see? They have such cute little faces, just like yours!" Aggie said as she took out pumpkins from her bag. "Neat!" Sophie said. "Oh, and I thought you'd appreciate these." Aggie gave you and Marnie something. "Hieroglyphics!" You said. "Mother!" Gwen said. "You know, these look like the ones from the Egyptian Book of the Dead." Marnie said. "Very good. I'll bet you get A's in school." Aggie said. "Actually, she gets B's and C's, I get the A's." Dylan said. Marnie nudged him. "Ow!" He said. "You know, Grandma, this is totally awesome! I mean, nobody around here really appreciates our taste in weird stuff." You said.

"Encouragement, not good." Dylan said. "No." Gwen whispered. "And you know what else? We have dja vu a lot, I mean, like, all the time." Marnie said. "Really?" Aggie asked. "Well, you know, if you could practice-" she was cut off. "Mother! Could I talk to you in the kitchen for just one minute?" Gwen asked. "Absolutely, dear, As soon as I get the children into their costumes." Aggie said. "Costumes?" Gwen asked. Aggie then began to take out costumes from her purse. "Whoo!" "Wow!" Marnie said. Aggie then gave you yours. "And the ghost! Oh, there!" Aggie said. "What?" Gwen asked. "Ooh, ooh! Yes, now this is the winner." Aggie said. "This is so awesome! Ah, I'm a wiccan!" Marnie said. "I'm a fairy!" You said. "I'm a ghost!" Sophie said. "I think I'm a big pimple." Dylan said. "All right, that's it, Mother, these children are not going out trick-or-treating, and now it is time for dinner." Gwen said. "But Mom-" Marnie said. "No, no, She's right, She's right. We'll eat the candy later." Aggie whispered. "Okay." You said. All of you went to the kitchen for dinner.
