[Jake and Hailey come across the street] 

Jake & Hailey: Trick-or-Treat! 

Ducky: You see the person across the street right, the person's house you were just at. 

Jake: Ya? 

Ducky: Jake, you kiss Hailey on the hand or cheek. If you do I will give you all of my candy and go rob that person's house for their candy. 

Hailey: Wha- 

Jake: Hailey, I am sorr- 

Stacy: I'll do it for the candy. 

Jake: Nuh-uh. I'm doing it. 

Stacy: No, I am. 

Hailey: I have no say in this. 

Ducky: Tell me when you're done, I'm going to rob someone now.

Story: 

It's the thirty-first of October, 2020. Where bats screech on rusty roofs, jack-o-lanterns glow with horror. Little children hop from house to house, masks with three words to tell. Candies swing in the air, like a diver into their jars. Witches' wicked laughs fill the spooky halls while our friends, Hailey and Jake store up their sweets and treats.

"Trick-or-treat!" their voices rejoiced like a school choir. Ducky pulls out a drop of gum, a bar of chocolates and minty treats placing them in their candy bags, the levels rising. Ducky giggles at their thoughts and suggest a little something to start their adventure,

"You see the person across the street right, the person's house you were just at?" 

Jake nods with a hint of suspicion, Hailey still admiring the bright, colour-filled wrappers. Ducky laughs once again, this time blurting out,

"Jake, you kiss Hailey on the hand or cheek. If you do I will give you all of my candy and go rob that person's house for their candy."

"How do you know my name and what?!" Jake stares at me like he'd seen a clown commit murder.

"All of the candy I have left."

"Hailey I am so sorry but I am doing this for the can-" Jake is pushed back, a new face shines with a slight blush. Who else could it be other than the new girl, Stacy?

"I'll do it for the candy!" she cheers a little inside of her, her own little victory. Hailey's eyes spin around, pleading for help but she does not dare to speak otherwise. Jake sudden shoots Stacy a look,

"Nuh-uh! I'm the one to do it!" he smirks with no signs of regret. Hailey mumbled like crumbled stones,

"I have no say in this what-so-ever." The wind blows by, their hair swaying like palm trees at a gentle beach. Teal, peach and purple. 

"Get me when you're done, I'm gonna go rob someone now," Ducky's feet lifelessly stumble towards the house across the street. Dodging a few surprised drivers here and there, popping in a few mints. 

"Let's do this now," finally they put in some music and pulls out a double-sided spinning blade from practically nowhere. The fuzz covered door finished up with a "Jailey" rug was simply obviously who's house it was. No need to tug too hard now, the door's open somehow. Though she always closes it, what anyone would say is that Halloween is a strange season of time. Where bats screech on rusty roofs, jack-o-lanterns glow with horror. Little children hop from house to house, masks with three words to tell. Candies swing in the air, like a diver into their jars. Witches' wicked laughs fill the spooky halls while our friends, Hailey and Jake store up their sweets and treats...

Wait a minute, why is this part of it?

"Because Halloween's a strange time. Duh," Ducky replies from the kitchens of splendid wonders. But if you are Ducky... who am I?

"The know-it-all narrator," they say holding on to a few cartons of Jailey Ranchers. Well um, that's all for now folks. Remember... don't look behind you, it doesn't like been seen.
