Chapter 1

It's a pumpkin!

He sighed in defeat. He couldn't believe it. No one wanted to wait in the pumpkin patch with him. They all laughed at him or rolled their eyes. He sat down by the oak tree, thumb in mouth and flannel blue blanket stroking his cheek. A cold autumn breeze blew through his shaggy light brown hair as he let out another sad sigh, hanging his head down he slowly nodded off.

"Wake up! Wake up." He opened his blue eyes only to see two little girls. One of them sporting a light green t-shirt, shorts, sandals and a baseball cap while the other one was dressed in jeans and an oversized sweater along with opaque, white glasses and a light blue book bag. "Are you okay?" The latter asked as she sat down next to him. "Do I even LOOK okay?" the little boy in the red shirt asked. The bespectacled girl examined him closely noticing his frowning mouth, sluggish body and sad eyes. "You do NOT look good at all." She concluded, pulling the boy in a small hug.

The freckle faced tomboy quietly left, the only noise she made was leaves crunching on the soles of her sandals. Once he was sure that she left, he turned towards the bookish girl and began talking. "On Halloween night the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch and he flies through the air with toys for all the good little kids." He explained, expecting her to laugh; instead, she leaned in closer and whispered something in his ear. "Have you ever seen the Great Squash?" she asked naively, only for Linus to correct her by proclaiming, "IT'S A PUMPKIN!" at the top of his seven-year old lungs. "Sorry." The shy girl replied quietly, turning cherry red. Linus chuckled as a thought dawned on him. "Do you want to wait in the pumpkin patch with me on Halloween night?" he asked sweetly, only for Marcie to reply with a happy little "Yes please."

And with that the two kids went to find the most sincere pumpkin patch in all of Birchwood.

A/N: Yes. I KNOW we are in April, but I thought that it would be a cute little story.
