Just a little belated Halloween treat for everyone.:D

Makoto took out the Jack-o'-Lantern-shaped cake from the oven, and placed it on the table. Stretching her arms slightly, she smiled contentedly. She couldn't wait to see her friends' faces when they tasted her latest creation.. As she headed for her room, she paused to check her reflection in the mirror, and what she saw made her grin ruefully: her shirt that wasn't protected by the apron was dusted lightly with flour, and there was a bit of icing at the tip of her nose. Yep, she definitely needed a shower before she headed off to Motoki's Halloween party.
She had spent only a few seconds under the shower head when the lights suddenly went out.
"Eep!"
Senshi or not, Makoto and darkness did not go together that well - especially not after she watched a marathon of horror movies the night before to psyche herself for Halloween. Images of scary monsters or stalkers with butcher knives popped in her head, and she hurriedly grabbed her bath robe before taking a peek outside the bathroom.
Bump. Bump. Bump.
Makoto gulped. There was something in the living room! She tiptoed to the kitchen and grabbed the first thing she could get her hands on, which turned out to be a frying pan. Tiptoeing to where the noise was coming from, she raised her arms and...
"Happy Hallo-" SMASH!
Makoto stared, aghast at the scene before her. Standing in front of her were her friends, who were looking open-mouthed at her, and at Mamoru, who lay knocked out on the floor, a large bump on his head already forming. The frying pan did not escape from the encounter unscathed, as it got bent almost cleanly at the middle, a testament of Makoto's strength.
Minako broke the silence. "So I guess you choose trick over treat?"
