Trick or treating
Serena felt that her last nerve was being popped as Rini jumped up and down on her bed.
"Please Serena! Trick or treat! Trick or treat! Trick or treat!" She jumped up and down begging for Serena to give in.
"NO! I haven't been trick or treating in five years and me going now is pretty ridiculous." Serena exclaimed.
"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!"
"FINE! Okay I'll go!" Serena gave in after half an hour of no's. The scouts would actually be surprised she resisted that long. But they weren't getting away so easily.
"But the girls have to come too okay?" Serena said and Rini nodded with joyous glee in her eyes.
Serena picked up the phone as soon as Rini went with her mother to get a costume.
"I have a test to study for." Amy said.
"I don't have anything to wear." Lita said.
"I'm not sure Serena, I'm too old for trick or treating." Mina said.
"I have to clean up the temple." Raye said.
"Guys. You can't allow me to leave on my own. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!" Serena pleaded. Several sigh and yes or Okays. Now Serena knew why she lasted that long. She had invented that!

Rini and Serena's mother looked around the old costume shop for an outfit for Serena. Rini's had been simple but for Serena… The old shopkeeper walked up to Serena's mother.
"May I help you with something?" He asked.
"Yes please. I'm looking for a costume for my daughter. Here's a photograph." Her mother said and took out a picture of Serena and the shopkeeper smiled mischievously but Serena's mother didn't notice.
"I have the perfect costume. It's actually an original from the medieval age." The man said and behind red curtains there was a beautiful dress. It was a complete blue to bring out Serena's eyes.
"Yes. This is the one. I'll take this one. How much?" Her mother asked.
"Oh. That's fine ma'am. It would be a gift as Halloween night." The man said. Rini looked up surprised at this and suspiciously but took no importance in it.

Serena liked the dress. At lest we got that far. She put on dark blue mascara and let go of the two buns holding her hair on her head. Serena looked at it and it was extraordinary wavy and passed her knees so Serena though for a moment and got some scissors out and cut her hair until it barely passed her hip. Instead she decided to do a Celtic hairstyle. With two small locks from above her ear she made two small plats and tied them at the back forming a small kinda like tiara on the back of her hair and then with those two plats combined, she made one single plat.
Rini had her normal hairstyle but was dressed as a witch in black.
There were a few knocks on the door and Serena opened it to show a group of kids. They stared at her and screamed and ran away. Her friends came in just as she had opened the door. Serena turned to look at them.
"What did do?" She asked.
"To be honest, I have no idea." Mina said.
"Got scared of your face meatball head." Raye said although the meatballs weren't there anymore.
Strangely they were all dressed as black witches. Although they kinda looked cool.
Rini bustle out of the door happily.
"Have fun honey!" Their mother called and disappeared inside the house closing the door.
"Lets go!" Rini said happily.

"Rini. Can we go home now? I've had the whole population of kids run away from me by now." Serena said.
"We've only been to twenty seven houses Serena! Besides. It's not my fault our ugly." Rini said.
Actually anyone who said that would be completely lying. Serena looked stunning. It was as if the sun and moon only were shinning over her.
Rini ran up to a house that looked like a college party and Serena ran after her loosing her from sight for a mere second as she mixed into the crowd of elder college students.
"No Rini, lets try another house." Serena said and Rini looked at her and nodded. Just then several whistles were heard around Serena as the guys gave her space and looked at her checking her all over. A guy with messed up hair, shirt…everything came up to her with his smell of Vodka evident.
"Hey babe. Why don't I show you what a spook I can be today?" He said and got really closer to her.
"Thanks. But I'd rather you fuck someone else." Serena said and pushed Rini out of the crowd. Several oouuuouououo's where heard and the guy was about to raise his hand to hit her when someone else's hand blocked his. Serena looked and saw it was Darien.
"Go and buzz of Christian." Darien said and the guy walked away.
"What are you doing here Meatball head?" He asked.
"Actually I was taking Rini trick or treating and told her not to come into this house just before your friend came up to me." Serena stated.
"Well, see you later jerk." Serena said and walked towards the group of girls that were waiting for her.
Then a group of boys and Darien got around the girls.
"Well. We'll go with you. How about we go trick or treating there?" A guy said and pointed to a huge abandoned mansion in front of them.
"The old Hallowell place? Na ah. I'm not entering that house even if my life depended on it." Serena said as they stood a few feet away from the gate.
"Scared meatball head?" Raye asked.
"No. It's just that… Witches were killed there!" Serena exclaimed.
"I dare you Serena. I'll give you cheats for the sailor V game."
"I'll give you twenty bucks."
"I'll give you thirty."
"I'll give you twenty five."
"I'll buy you a chocolate milkshake."
"I'll hack the school computers and make your –F's become A's." Darien said and Serena still wasn't convinced.
"I can't. Look, the house even has a lock." Serena said.
"Cry baby. Come on. I'll give you thirty if you at least knock on the door." A guy said.
"I don't want to go in guys I-" Serena started saying but then the house's clock struck twelve and a howl of pain was heard from the inside of the house and Serena looked to the ground as if deep in thought and she turned to face the gates of the house and walked towards the gate. Everyone fell into silence.
"Is she really going to do this?" Amy whispered.
"Raye I'm scared." Rini said and this from her was shocking.
"Something's wrong." Darien thought. Everyone was left in a shocking silence as the gates opened by themselves and when they looked at the chains they saw they were burned and melted.
"I didn't think the girl had guts." A guy said.
Serena was about half way into the extra huge front garden when she looked back at the gates and with a swish of her hand the gates started to close slowly. They looked in shock as the melted chains reformed again and were closing the gate. Darien didn't have time to think and just ran in to the house and so did the scouts followed by Rini. The guys just left and prepared their money for tomorrow.

Serena walked towards the house. Her body had taken complete control of her mind. She didn't notice her friends coming towards her as fast as they could.

Luna and Artemis looked up from where they were sleeping as their moons glowed slightly and they felt the scouts were in danger. As fast as they could they ran out of the temple and ran to the great haunted mansion of Hallowell.

"Serena! Serena wait!" Darien called. They were gaining up on her easily but she had reached the door now and as it opened swiftly. Serena stepped in and just two metres away, Darien was locked out but as he opened the door, the room was diferent and there wasn't any sign of Serena.
