"Boo!"

Nightman screamed like a girl and whipped around to see Pandy there with a skeleton mask as she laughed, and he pounded his fist against his chest.

"Pandy! You scared me!" he exclaimed as she laughed but tried to stop herself, Nightglow snorting but recovered quickly. Mystic was already rolling on the ground laughing while Mystery was kicking her side to stop her.

"Good ol' Nightman." NightDragon sighs, shaking her head fondly.

Nightman grumbled before glancing over and examined Pandy's skeleton mask closer. It looked to have painted on colors from her party hat in patterns around the eye sockets and just all around the mask.

"What's with that?" Nightman asked before looking back to the school. It was the night after the Halloween event, but the decorations were up. Or at least changed. 

"It's Día de Muertos! The Day of the Dead!" she smiles.

"Oh wait, you all celebrate that one too?" He blinked.

"Of course we do! Now come on, we need a bit of help, and you also need to find out who is with us today!" she smiles.

"Wait, is this like Crimson is in charge of anything Halloween? So that means that there's another that is here for a fundraiser for Día de Muertos." Nightman hums.

"Good! Looks like you're using your head again." Nyx spoke from behind him and Pandy.

"Hey!" he exclaimed, Pandy holding a snort back before looking over. "Oh! Oh! Nightman! That's Maria!" 

The other looked over; she had a Mexican style dress that was black but had a shape of a skeleton, it also having beautiful patterns all over. She seemed to have tattoos on her arms to mimic bones and said patterns, and the same goes for her face paint.

"¡Hola! Soy María y estoy a cargo del Día de Muertos de las fiestas. Encantado de conocerte, Nightman."(Hello! I'm Maria, and I'm in charge of Día de Muertos of the holidays. Nice to meet you, Nightman.) She spoke, and Nightman blinked before thinking quietly to himself, trying to figure out what she said.

"U-Uh... N-Nice to meet you too?" he asked slowly, and Maria smiled at that.

"De todos modos, necesito regresar y arreglar algunas cosas sobre el papeleo y lo que vamos a hacer hoy para nuestro evento del Día de los Muertos. Puedes quedarte con Pandy, ella puede darte un recorrido."(Anyways, I need to go back and get some things worked about paper work and what we're going to be doing for our Day of the Dead event today. You can stick around with Pandy, she can give you a tour.) Nyx told Maria before patting her shoulder and leaving, making Nightman more and more confused.

"Do you guys understand?" he asked, looking over his shoulder as NightDragon, Mystic, Mystery, and Nightglow.

"Somewhat." Nightglow said, making a half-and-half hand gesture.

"Hehe." Mystic smirks while Nightman sighed with a roll of his eyes.

"¡Venga! ¡Deberíamos mostrarle a Nightman las nuevas decoraciones del Día de los Muertos que preparamos!"(Come on! We should show Nightman the new Day of the Dead decorations we set up!) Pandy smiles, and Maria gasped and nods her head in agreement.

"Ragh!" Nightman yelps as Pandy grabs the back of his cardigan and pulled him along.

Nightglow sighs, shaking her head. "Poor guy." she comments.
