A Loud Halloween
Chapter 1 An Unscary Holiday
"Tonight is a night of fear. A night of supernatural activity. Tonight children will scream in fear, for it is the scariest night of the year...Happy Halloween!" Lucy jumped out into the living room to scare everyone, but realized they didn't even flinch at her sudden appearance.
"Guys, c'mon, wasn't that scary?" She asked in her usual monotone voice. The rest of her siblings were sitting on the couch watching TV when they finally noticed her presence.
"Huh? Oh hey Lucy, when did you get here?" Lincoln asked. "Sigh, what's going on? I always scare you by coming out of nowhere." She said.
"Not anymore. You do it so much that it's practically normal now." Lynn stated. "It's not all that scary once we got used to it." Lori said.
"Well, you guys still think that Halloween is scary don't you?" Lucy asked them.
"No, not really." Luan truthfully said, making Lucy gasp in horror. "But, it's Halloween, it should be scary. How come none of you are scared of it anymore?" She asked.
"It's just a bunch of kids dressed in costumes." Luna said. "It's not scary if it's all fake." Lola said. "Yeah, I mean, those 'scary' ghost decorations are obviously just sheets with a bunch of holes in them. It's so lame." Lori said. "And practically 90% percent of the things that people dress up as do not exist." Lisa stated.
"Fake? Lame? You mean, you don't think Halloween is scary anymore?" Lucy asked in a disappointed tone.
"No, not really?" Lana said. "I think it's a little scary. Whenever I walk up to ring people's doorbell's a scary person opens the door." Leni said with worry. "Leni you do know those were just people in costumes right?" Lincoln asked. "What? They were? But I thought only kids dressed up on Halloween." She said when the parents walked into the room.
"That's not true Leni. Grown ups can dress up on Halloween too." Rita told her. "And just wait 'til you see what we're dressing up as this year." Lynn Sr. said. "I'm going to be your mom." He said zipping up a costume that made him look exactly like Rita. "And I'm going to be your dad." Rita said as she pulled up a zipper like Lynn Sr. that made her look exactly like him.
"You kids better put your costumes on." Lori's taking you to Bobby's house so your father and I can hand out candy." Rita told them inside her Lynn Sr. costume.
"Oh that's right. Bobby and Ronnie Anne are having a Halloween party tonight. I can't believe I forgot." Lincoln said. "Quick! Everyone get in your costumes. I can't keep my sweet boo boo bear waiting!" Lori said as she ran up the stairs.
Later, everyone was out in the hallway wearing their costumes and waiting for Leni to finish getting ready. Lily was dressed up as a flower, Lisa was dressed up as a mad scientist with a lab coat, yellow gloves, and black boots as her hair stood up in a messy way. Lana was dressed as a knight with gray plastic shining armor, a gray plastic sword, and a gray plastic shield. Lola was dressed as a princess in a pink princess gown with pink gloves and a pearl necklace. She also wore a pointy pink cone hat and carried a glittery wand with a pink star at the tip of it.
Lucy wore a vampire costume with a black cape that was red on the inside and wore fake sharp teeth in her mouth. Lincoln was wearing his Ace Savvy costume. Lynn was dressed as a basketball player and wore an orange sweatband and carried a basketball. Luan was dressed up as a clown. She wore a red rubber nose and lots of clown makeup, along with a red bow tie, a flower that could squirt water, orange pats with purple polka dots on them, and big red clown shoes. She was also wearing a yellow long sleeve shirt and big white gloves.
Luna was dressed as a rock star with a black skirt and belt with a skull on it. She also wore black long finger less gloves and long black boots. Her shirt was a short black top with a skull necklace and she wore a spiky choker necklace. Lori was in a mermaid costume and she wore a light blue top shirt with layers. She had a slim mermaid tail like the dress she wore to her school dance. She also had a pink seashell necklace and pink seashell earrings as well as a blue flower in her hair.
Everyone watched as Leni walked out of her room in her costume, but then everyone stared at her costume in confusion. She was wearing the exact same costume as Lori.
"Leni! You copied my outfit!" Lori said in frustration. "I did?" Leni asked in confusion as she stared down at her mermaid costume.
"I'm supposed to be a mermaid tonight, take it off!" Lori demanded. "But this is the only costume I have." Leni complained. "Well we can't both where the same costume." Lori said.
"Don't worry Leni, I think I have a costume you can wear." Lincoln said. "Really? Where is it?" Leni asked as she looked around the hallway. "It's in my room, I'll show you." Lincoln replied as he led her into his room.
"So where's the costume?" Leni asked as Lincoln grabbed a box in the corner of his room. "It's right here." He said showing her the box. "My costume is a box?" She asked in confusion. "No, it's in the box." Lincoln stated, opening up the box. Inside it was a black slim dress with a few layers at the bottom of it, with some lacing at the top with a skull on it. It also came with long black hand less gloves, a black spiky tiara with a skull in the middle of it, and a short staff with a skull on top of it.
"What kind of costume is this? "Leni asked. "It's a costume for one of the villains from my Ace Savvy comic book. I won it in a contest with Clyde, having no use for it, I thought you could have it." Lincoln explained. "Wow, thanks Lincoln!" Leni said as Lincoln walked out of the room so she could get changed.
Meanwhile, Lucy was in the attic looking at pictures her mom had taken of her and her siblings each Halloween. "Sigh. Nobody is in the Halloween spirit tonight." She lamented. She then noticed a small chest that was near her. "I know I thought I would never need to use this again, but this time it's important." She said, opening the chest that held the spell book of her great grandmother Harriet.
"The ancient book of spells. Last time it didn't work but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again." She said and slowly reached over to open the book, but suddenly pulled her hand back.
"No, it's too dangerous. I remember when I cast a spell making all my siblings quiet. I know it wasn't real but I'm afraid there's a possibility it could really work this time." Lucy said in her usual monotone voice. But then she remembered what her siblings said earlier, about Halloween not being scary and everything being fake.
"Well, maybe just a peak wouldn't hurt." She said as she was about to open up the book again when she heard someone call her name. "Lucy, come on! We're about to go to Bobby and Ronnie Anne's house!" Lori yelled from the hallway.
Instead of opening it, Lucy quickly grabbed the spell book and hid it in her black candy bag. She quickly climbed back down the ladder until she reached the floor where the rest of her siblings were. She expected them to crowd around her and ask what she was doing in the attic, but instead saw them crowding around Leni, staring at her costume.
"Wow Leni, your costume looks really cool." Lynn complimented. "Thanks. Lincoln gave it to me." Leni said.
"What are you dressed up as?" Lana asked. "I don't like, really know. What did you say I am again Lincoln?" Leni asked. "She's dressed as a villain from one of my Ace Savvy comic issues. "Lincoln explained. "What's the name of the villain?" Lucy asked as she approached. "The villain's name is Wicked, Wicked the Skull Queen." Lincoln replied. "That explains the skulls." Lori said, staring at all the skulls that were on Leni's costume. "Wicked the Skull Queen. I like it!" Leni said with enthusiasm.
"Alright kids, time to line up for a picture and then you can leave for your party." Rita said in her Lynn Sr. costume as she held a camera. She took the picture of her kids in front of the door.
"Alright dudes! Time to head to the best Halloween party ever!" Luna cheered as they walked outside into the night sky. While they walked, Lucy glanced at the spell book she hid in her candy bag, wondering what kind of spells could possibly make her siblings get into the Halloween spirit. She would have to find out once they got to Bobby and Ronnie Anne's house.
