Well, here is my first chapter in my first story. Hope you enjoy it!

The situation

Chapter 1: The party

Lucas looked into the mirror in his room. Wearing his usual red and yellow stripped shirt, light blue shorts, and orange and yellow sneakers, Lucas smiled to himself. He was invited to a party at castle Osohe, where one of his close friends stayed. She also happened to be hosting the party herself. Lucas was skeptical about the party because it was also a sleepover. He would be spending the night in a castle filled with ghost. That wasn't the problem, however. The problem was that this was Lucas' first party in 4 years. It was also his first party without his twin brother, Claus.

As Lucas was staring into the mirror, his father, Flint, came upstairs. "Hey son, you ready for the party?" he asked.

The 13 year old looked at his father. Flint was wearing his normal cowboy outfit. Around his neck was a red handkerchief. Lucas never understood why Flint wore it, but never asked. "Sure Dad, just doing a quick check before I leave."

Flint walked over to Lucas and placed his hand on his son's shoulder. "Just have fun tonight, ok? I want to hear all about it when you come back tomorrow."

Lucas picked up his bag of supplies off his bed. He started to walk downstairs when Flint stopped him.

"Lucas, are you going to be ok up there?" He asked. Flint sounded a bit nervous.

"I'll be ok Dad, don't worry." Lucas replied with a weak smile. He knew why Flint sounded nervous. Ever since the "accident" happened, they didn't talk much about it. Especially about its tragic ended.

Flint walked downstairs ahead of Lucas. Lucas glanced back at the mirror one more time. He thought he saw Claus in his reflection. Lucas suddenly felt uneasy about looking into the mirror. He ran downstairs after his father.

As Lucas caught up with Flint, he saw his dog, Boney, asleep on the couch. Only 7 years old, Boney was Lucas' faithful companion. Lucas and Boney often spent alot of time together. Lucas walked over to his dog and petted him on the head. Flint then had an idea.

"Lucas, would you like to take Boney with you?" he asked. Lucas smiled widely as he nodded. Boney, upon hearing this, jumped off the couch and wagged his tail. He ran around Lucas and Flint cheerfully.

"Woof! (Well what are we waiting for?)" Boney barked loudly with excitement. It was obvious that Boney was excited.

Lucas patted Boney on the head again, which caused Boney to wag his tail even faster. Boney then pounced on Lucas and began licking his face. Lucas could not stop laughing as he tried to get Boney to stop. Flint secretly smiled to himself. Seeing his son so happy after such a long time also made him happy.

After Boney settled down, the three walked out of the somewhat small house. Lucas turned and hugged his father. Flint hugged him back, something he didn't do often.

"Have a lot of fun tonight you two." He called as Lucas and Boney walked off.

"Don't worry Dad, this will be one of the best nights of my life!" Lucas joked as he walked off with Boney marching proudly behind him.

Well how was it? Like it, review it, do as you wish. Please, no flames though for I am still new at this.
