(A/N: I've had this idea for quite a while, and I just had to do it. The image above shows how the kids look. Enjoy!)
A Magical Halloween
Prologue
(A/N: Here's the kids and their parents!
Soren and Susan, son and daughter of MK and Nod. Reddish-brown hair, and green eyes
Lily, daughter of Finn and Venus. Orange hair, green eyes, freckles, black pointy ears on top of head
Libra, daughter of Mars and Bomba. Black hair, teal eyes
On to the story!)
"Kids, can you gather up in the living room?" Nod Hutcherson requested. "We've got a big surprise for all of you."
Soon, everyone was in the living room, the parents eager to present the surprise. The aforementioned children consisted of 6-year-old twins Soren and Susan Hutcherson, 3-year-old Lily Wilson, and in Soren's little arms, 1-year-old Libra Joyce. They all sat on the floor in front of the couch, waiting for the announcement of their big surprise.
"Okay so," Finn Wilson started off, "You know how usually for Halloween, we dress up and walk to all the houses in the neighborhood for candy?" The kids, minus Libra, nodded. "Well this year, there's been a change of plans."
"What's the change?" Susan asked innocently.
MK Joyce-Hutcherson set a round platter on the coffee table, and lifted the lid, revealing a circular cake. "Soren, Susan, can you read that for Lily and Libra?"
The twins stood up, and their green eyes widened in shock. The cake's icing decorations read "We're trick-or-treating in Disneyland!" They turned to the younger girls. "Guys, we're going to Disneyland for Halloween!" Lily joined in the screaming cheers and joyful jumping, as Libra sat cluelessly. When the parents moved down on the floor, they were bombarded with hugs and multiple signs of gratitude, which they happily returned.
"When do we leave?" Soren asked around.
"We leave in a week," Nod replied.
"Aww!" Lily and the twins whined.
"We don't wanna wait!" Susan pouted.
"Sorry guys," Nod ruffled his twins' hair.
"It'll fly by, sweetie," Finn kissed Lily's forehead, "Just give it time."
"We can go shopping for Halloween outfits for you kids," Venus Woods-Wilson brought up, "Who wants to wear a costume?" Lily was the only one who raised her hand. "Okay Lily, we can get you a costume."
"Yay!"
"You wanna go to Disneyland, Libra?" Mars Woods-Joyce cooed as she picked up the baby, and nuzzled her face. "You wanna meet Mickey and his friends?"
Bomba Joyce sat next to them on the floor. "She ought to have a good time."
"Yep," Mars nodded, "She'll love it."
"Oh! And Grandpa Ronin will be coming with us!" Nod announced, and the kids showed great enthusiasm. Despite Ronin's serious (sometimes grumpy) nature, which was still intact, his grandkids loved him, and the feeling was mutual.
"What costume do you want, angel?" Finn asked Lily.
"Anna, from Frozen!" She replied excitedly.
"Well, if they have Anna costumes at the Disney store, then Anna you shall be."
"Yay! Thanks, Daddy!"
"You're welcome, cutie."
"Okay, here's our last stop," Ronin Farrell announced as the huge family entered the Disney store in their local mall. The parents were carrying shopping bags from all their other stops, and their arms were getting tired. The kids immediately made a beeline for the toys, admiring them like buried treasure.
"Lilybelle!" Finn called out to his daughter, using the affectionate nickname that only he could use for her. "Come here, sweetie!"
She eagerly ran up to him and Venus. "Yes, Daddy?" He loved how obedient she was.
"We found what you're looking for," He held up an Anna costume in her size, a blue and black dress with a fuchsia cape, while Venus had the matching shoes, which were black with a gold design on the front, and sequins along the tops.
"We need to find your shoe size, Lil." Lily sat on Finn's knee, as Venus helped her try on the shoes, and walk around in them.
"I love 'em!" She exclaimed, as her mama changed her shoes back to her blue sparkly Converses.
"If your feet start to hurt in the parks, either me or Daddy can carry you."
"Here are your sizes," Nod gave Soren and Susan matching black t-shirts with Halloween icons, Soren's having Mickey Mouse, and Susan's having Minnie Mouse. "You guys like to match, don't you?"
"Yeah!" Soren replied, but Susan was quiet.
"I'll take your silence as a yes," Nod chuckled, as Ronin smirked.
At the baby clothes section, Mars was leafing through onesies as Bomba scooped Libra up in his arms, out of her red Minnie Mouse stroller. She held onto his shirt with her tiny hand as she watched her mommy browse. "Yes, this is the one!" She took out a black cap-sleeve legless onesie with a glittery tutu, and a Minnie Mouse witch design on the front. She laid it on Libra to get an idea of how it would look, and her smile grew. "That'd look so adorable! We can use those leggings she got on her 1st birthday with this." In the shoes, she took out a pair of white Mary Janes with a red plaid lining, black velvet ribbons, and Minnie Mouse heads on the black toes. "And these!" She managed to find their baby's size, and decided to use them for her. "She'll look so precious!" Mars gushed.
"Yes she will," Bomba chuckled as Libra giggled, "She needs some socks too." With his free hand, he grabbed a set of two pairs of Minnie Mouse ruffle-hemmed socks. One pair was white with a red hemming, and a black flats-like design with a red bow, while the other was red with blue hemming and toes, and white polka dots.
"Those are adorable!" Mars cooed. "Good choices!"
"Thanks. Which ones should she wear? The blue ones, or white?"
"Umm," She held the shoes up to the socks, "The white ones."
"Sounds good."
"Hey, what's my baby half-sister wearing for Halloween?" MK came up, holding Susan's hand, and kissed the smiley infant's cheek.
"She'll be wearing these," Mars showed her the onesie, shoes, and socks, "And those striped leggings from her first birthday."
"Aww, cute! She'll look so precious!"
"Yes she will."
The family joined the long line to the registers, their purchases ready to be brought home. Lily was gazing around the store, her tiny hand in her father's safe hold, when something caught her eye. "Daddy?" She tugged on his wrist, considering she couldn't reach his t-shirt sleeves.
"Yeah?" He smiled down at his angel.
"Can we wear matching pajamas?" She pointed to the Mickey/Minnie Mouse Halloween pajamas, which mainly had black and white stripes, and orange with white polka dots.
"Hmm..." He pondered the idea, and turned to the other parents. "Hey, guys? Come on." He led them to where his daughter pointed. "Lily suggested we wear matching pjs; what do you say?"
"Sounds great!" Venus agreed enthusiastically. "Good idea, baby," She kissed Lily's cheek, which was dotted with Finn's inherited freckles.
"I'm up for that," Mars shrugged.
"Me too," Bomba nodded.
"Here's my size," MK took out a womens' set from the rack.
"I've got mine," Nod brought out a mens' set, and turned to his and MK's twins. "Let's find yours." He found a nightshirt for Susan, and a shirt and pants for Soren.
"These should be Libra's," Mars found a shirt and pants for the baby.
"Lily, you and Susan get to match," Finn brought out another nightshirt, in a smaller size.
"I'm not sure about wearing these," Ronin remarked.
"Aw come on, sourpuss," Nod chuckled, "We all have to match; it was Lily's idea. Try saying no to your grandkids' faces."
Ronin looked down, and saw the children giving him pleading looks. It seemed that even Libra was giving him puppy eyes. He sighed heavily, and felt himself give in. "Fine."
"Yay!" The kids cheered, and hugged his legs.
"What a softie," Venus giggled, and Finn snickered. They almost saw what looked like a small smile on Ronin's face. "Okay, let's pay for our stuff and get out of here." They then rejoined the line, which thankfully had gotten shorter.
Before long, it was the night before the family would leave for Disneyland. The kids were very excited, and could hardly wait to go. Finn was making some last minute checkups on the house before he would go to bed with Venus, when he smiled at who he saw in the living room: Lily, curled up on the floor like a cat, fast asleep. Her head was rested on a small, round Halloween pillow she had her eye on recently at the grocery store. It was light teal with a cute sugar skull.
Finn knelt down to her level on all fours, and laid his head on the floor. "Lily?" He petted her soft, orange hair. "Lil?"
She moaned sleepily, as her big green eyes blinked open. "Hmm? Hi, Daddy."
"Hey, girlie," He kissed her cheek, "What're you doing out here at this hour? It's almost midnight."
"I was walking."
"Well Lily, you need your sleep for the big drive tomorrow." The Anaheim parks were several hours away from where they lived, so they needed to get up in the morning for an early start. "Come on, let's get you to bed."
"I'm not sweepy," She yawned.
"You were just asleep on the floor a minute ago, Ms. Smarty Pants," Finn chuckled and tickled her side and tummy, making her squeal and giggle. She sounded just like her mommy. "Come on, kiddo." He picked her up, keeping the pillow under her head, and walked to her Frozen-themed bedroom. He laid her on her bed, and pulled the covers up to her shoulders. "G'night, Lilybelle." He kissed her forehead.
"'Night, Daddy. I love you."
He felt his heart melting. She was so sweet and precious. "I love you too, baby." He ruffled her hair, rubbed his nose on hers, and walked in the master bedroom, where Venus was sleeping peacefully on her side, and laid in front of her. She was currently wearing her Disney Villainesses pjs of a grey acid wash graphic t-shirt and black printed shorts. He sighed lovingly and stroked her cheek with the back of his fingers, brushing her hair back. He wondered how he got so lucky; he has a beautiful wife, and an adorable daughter. Life was good.
Her big emerald eyes blinked opened at his gentle touch, her long eyelashes fluttering, and she smiled sleepily at her husband. "Hey you."
"Hey V," Finn pecked her lips, "Lily was sleeping on the floor out in the living room, so I had to put her back in bed."
Venus giggled quietly. "Oh, Lily. She's so silly. Silly Lily."
"Just like Mommy," He chuckled under his breath, as she blushed timidly. "Let's get some sleep for the big drive tomorrow. Mars and Bomba are renting an RV to fit all of us."
"'Kay. Sounds fun." She snuggled in his bare chest, and was out immediately, unintentionally without another word.
"G'night, beautiful," He whispered, and kissed the side of her head. He hugged her closely, one hand rubbing her waist, and his nose nuzzled in her soft, black hair, he drifted off to sleep.
Again, life was good. No, it was amazing.
(A/N: Well, there's the prologue. There's more family cuteness to come! MK, Nod, Ronin, Bomba, and Finn belong to Blue Sky Studios, while Venus, Mars, Lily, and Libra are my own characters. Soren and Susan are by me and by my friend TangledDisneyForever.)
