It was just another day before Halloween.

Wendy was getting the mail today for the family she now lived with instead of her aunts Gert, Fanny, and Gabby. She took out one envelope to see what it said as it caught her attention. "'To Wendy Rookwood'?" she read her name before running inside as Bud and Michelle were decorating the house for trick-or-treaters. "Aunt Michelle! Uncle Bud! There's mail for me!"

"Who's it from?" Bud asked.

Wendy took a look at the envelope. "Some lady named... 'Grimeword'?"

"That's Grimwood, dear." Michelle corrected with a smile.

"Oh..." Wendy smiled.

Michelle decided to read the letter to her young niece.

"'Dear Parents or Guardians of Wendy Rockwood,

my name is Glynis Grimwood, and I would so love to have Wendy in my school for this upcoming Halloween in my Finishing School for Young Ghouls. Here's my wishes for a wonderful semester.

From - Ms. Grimwood's School for Ghouls'."

This seemed to be interesting for her.

"Oh, Wendy, this is a big honor," Michelle smiled. "And you've been accepted at a good time. Ms. Grimwood is planning a field trip to a Halloween carnival."

"Yay!" Wendy smiled.

Bud and Michelle smiled back.

"Hey, where's Cherry?" Wendy wondered where her big cousin was.

There seemed to be dark and dramatic music playing and a shark fin was going around.

"That answers my question." Wendy smiled as she saw Cherry's kitten next to the shark fin.

"DUN! DUN! DUUUNNN!" Cherry roared as she snuck up behind her parents to scare them since it was almost Halloween.

Her kitten simply mewed. She then sulked in defeat. Wendy giggled.

"Really?" Cherry asked her kitten.

The kitten yawned and curled up to get some sleep.

"Aw!" Wendy smiled.

Cherry sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Look what I got, Cherry." Wendy said.

Cherry took the note and looked through it. "Ms. Grimwood's School, eh?" she then asked. "I think I went there last Halloween with Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy."

"Ooh." Wendy smiled.

"Oh, that'll be fun, Cherry, you can go with Wendy to her new school then." Michelle said.

"Do I have to?" Cherry complained.

"Please?" Wendy begged.

Cherry sighed as she looked like she had no choice. "Fine, but can I have Atticus come with me?"

"Of course, dear," Michelle replied. "I don't see why not."

"Great." Cherry said.

"I guess this means I have to wear my witch jumpsuit again." Wendy commented.

"Yes, luv, it seems so." Michelle nodded to her little niece.

"Okay." Wendy said. She then went upstairs to pack as she was excited to be accepted into Ms. Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls.

"At least I won't have to worry about Drell." Cherry muttered.

"True." Michelle said.

Cherry glanced at her mother as they waited for Wendy to come down as she texted Atticus what was going on and where he was okay with coming along.


"Who was that?" Drell asked as he had Atticus in a headlock.

"Cherry, texting me about Wendy going to Ms. Grimwood's school." Atticus replied as he took a break to answer his phone.

"Cool." Drell said.

Atticus replied to Cherry.

"If this is too tight, let me know," Drell replied. "I accidentally killed someone in this headlock."

"It's okay." Atticus said as he got free and flipped Drell.

Drell gave himself a soft landing. Atticus sat on Drell and sent another message.

"Okay, Cherry does not text that much!" Drell glared.

"Uh, she's chatty..." Atticus seemed to lie.

"Who are you texting?" Drell asked.

"Cherry..." Atticus replied.

Drell soon pinned over top of him and took his phone and adjusted his glasses. "Oh, hello, Mo..." he smirked as he saw poetry texted to Atticus's girlfriend.

This caused Atticus to smile bashfully.

"Dear, Atticus," Drell teased. "I loooove you!"

Atticus soon got Drell off him as he took his phone back.

Drell just laughed immaturely before looking curious. "Grimwood... That name sounds familiar."

"Isn't she your sister?" Atticus asked.

"That's right!" Drell remembered. "I have a sister!"

"Anyways, me and Cherry are going to go to the Grimwood school with Wendy." Atticus said.

"I haven't seen Glynis in so long..." Drell sighed. "STUPID COUNCIL JOB!"

Atticus covered his mouth while quietly snickering as his anger was kind of funny.

"Well, just be happy you haven't met the Goblin King." Drell said.

"Um, who's the Goblin King?" Atticus asked.

Drell leaned over with a horrified look in his icy blue eyes. "Do you really wanna know...?"

Atticus stepped back more nervously. "Not... Really."

"Well, I'll tell you." Drell said.

"Oh, boy..." Atticus gulped. "Just don't sing."

"I would never subject you to such torture..." Drell replied. "First, get off of me."

Atticus then stood up straight.

Drell then stood up and went to his bookshelf. "Let's see... Loch Ness Monster, Simone Lenoir and Lena Dupree, Sarah Ravencroft, El Chupacabra, Captain Crothers, Wiki Tiki... Aha, here we go!" he then took out the book on the Goblin King and blew the dust off.

"Whoa, how long has that book been used?" Atticus asked.

"My father gave it to me," Drell replied as he cracked the book open. "Of course, the Goblin King is the king of all goblins, and rules the land with his scepter which could be fatal if brought into the wrong hands. He is not dangerous unless you are a threat to him, and if someone takes his scepter, they could use all of his magic and power against him."

Atticus took a look. "He kinda looks like Goliath in a way."

"I suppose he does, even if he isn't a gargoyle." Drell agreed.

"How big is he?" Atticus asked.

"Pretty big, bigger than me even..." Drell replied as he looked through his book. "Of course, compared to his daughter..." he then muttered slightly.

"His daughter?" Atticus asked.

Drell cupped his mouth.

"Who is she, The Goblin Princess?" Atticus asked.

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Drell smiled sheepishly.

"Oh, come on, what's her name?" Atticus asked.

"Willow." Drell only said the name and nothing else about her.

"Goblin Princess Willow..." Atticus repeated.

"Actually... She's a fairy." Drell replied.

"What?!" Atticus gasped.

Drell showed him the book about Fairy Princess Willow's section in the Goblin King book.

"How is she his daughter?" Atticus asked.

"Atticus, I believe you were told this story a long time ago, but when a man and a woman love each other very much-" Drell began.

"I know how it's done, but how is a fairy, like her, his daughter?!" Atticus glared.

Drell flipped through the pages to see if the book had anything on that as he didn't remember.

'Really?' Atticus thought to himself.

"Ah, there we go," Drell spotted the page. "Willow's mother was Fairy Queen Elvina."

"Sounds nice." Atticus said.

"Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while either..." Drell sighed. "I miss her."

"She died?" Atticus frowned.

"She met a child who didn't believe in fairies." Drell explained as that was a fatal demise for the magical creatures.

"Oh, my..." Atticus frowned.

"That can be a serious case..." Drell replied. "She should've stayed in Pixie Hollow with Tinkerbell and the others, but nooo..."

"I've always wanted to go there." Atticus said.

"Pixie Hollow?" Drell asked since he just said it.

"Uh-huh." Atticus nodded.

"Well, I might be able to work something out..." Drell smiled. "It really is a wonderful place... There's also an Australian rainforest called Ferngully where other fairies live."

"Cherry told me about when she went there with her friend Katie," Atticus replied. "I think she said something about a fairy named Crysta."

"Yes, but different fairy family like the fairies up in Fairy World." Drell nodded.

"Uh-huh." Atticus nodded again.

"Oh, boy, looks like this Halloween's gonna be busy," Drell said. "And I promised Hilda I'd spend Halloween with her, Zelda, and Sabrina this year since every Halloween, the Spellmans have a family gathering..." he then groaned. "There's that pesky little Amanda who's such a brat and takes advantage of her magical powers."

"Whoa." Atticus said.

"I really don't wanna go..." Drell whispered to Atticus. "I don't wanna hurt Hilda's feelings though."

"You have to go." Atticus said.

"I know, I promised her..." Drell remembered, he then gave his book to Atticus. "Here, take my Goblin King book, you might need it."

"Okay." Atticus said.

Drell patted him on the head as he then left.

"This is gonna be a good Halloween..." Atticus said as he was on his way back home. "Hopefully the Goblin King isn't too dangerous."

"As long as he's not angry, he's fine." Drell advised.

"Thanks, Drell." Atticus nodded.

Drell nodded back and went to get dressed in his best suit and start packing to go with Hilda, Zelda, and Sabrina's family reunion for Halloween this year. Atticus soon left the room.


Lightning flashed and Atticus soon came downstairs into his own home as he clutched the book in his arms.

"Hey, Atticus." Patch smiled.

"Hey, boy." Atticus smile back.

"Ooh, a book," Patch noticed. "Is that a Daring Do book?"

"No, this is a book that Drell let me borrow about The Goblin King." Atticus showed him.

"Ooh." Patch smiled.

"Ah, a Halloween Carnival with Ms. Grimwood's girls... At least they can walk around normally and Cherry will be in a good mood..." Atticus sighed. "I wonder who else we'll meet there... Oh, well, we'll find out when we get going."

"So exciting!" Patch beamed. "Can I come?"

"Of course you can!" Atticus smiled.

"Ooh, I have the perfect costume, I got Rarity to make it!" Patch beamed before zipping off and coming back in a dog version of a Daring Do costume.

"Someone's really into Daring Do these days." Atticus chuckled.

"Ever since that trader's exchange we helped the Mane Six in, I just got hooked from Twilight's old books!" Patch replied.

"I can tell." Atticus chuckled.

"Oh, Atticus, can I go to the convention with Rainbow Dash when it comes?" Patch begged.

"That should be fine." Atticus smiled.

"Yay!" Patch smiled.

Atticus chuckled to his excitement as this was going to be a fun Halloween for everybody.
