The Houtou palace was never known for having celebrations or festivals of any kind. Of course, ever since Nii's arrival, things have been altered quite a bit. The doctor lounged casually in his chair with one arm loosely hanging chair-back; he grumbles at the thought of last joke Kougaiji had pulled on him during their last summer vacation.

To make things even worst, he had to run around in a maid outfit deliberately for the whole two weeks. The prince had let him off the hook, even though he had wanted him in the costume for about a month. The entire castle got a laugh out of that one.

The prince calmly strolled into the laboratory as usual. He glances around as he sees black and orange streamers hanging high above, on the side of the super computers. And some small pumpkins scattered about on some desk and the large one, happily smiling back at him from below his feet.

"What's with all these pumpkins and streamers?" Kougaiji asks curiously.

"I see you have never celebrated Halloween before, my prince?" Nii swung around from his chair with the nicotine dangling from the side of his mouth. Kougaiji shook his head with an awkward look across his face. It had never seemed to cross his mind to ever celebrate anything throughout the year, especially until now when the doctor made a permanent stay within the palace due the projects and what not.

The prince trying to pronounce the unknown word, "Hallo-what?"

"Halloween," Nii corrected him amusingly from his chair.

"So that's what it is..."

"Do you like ghosts, Kougaiji?" The doctor asks out from his own curiosity.

"Ghosts... Are you talking about mythological ones?"

Nii shook his head back and forth, "No, no... Nothing like that." He answers simply.

"Then what?" The prince asks surprisingly without a clue.

"Here... Let me show you." Nii smiles around his cigarette as he hesitantly trots over to the prince taking him by his hand, dragging with him towards the back room where he had deliberately planned something before hand. All he had to do was wait patiently for the prince for the show up at the right moment. Once at the back of the room, there begin some shuffling noise and grunting between the two. "Will you stop moving," A calm voice echoed into the chamber. "I'm trying not to." The voice groaned in response.

Thirty minutes later...

The doctor walks out from behind with a wide grin plastered across his face. He sat back down in chair and then waited. "You have got to be kidding me!" Kougaiji yelled furiously from the back of the room, after looking at his reflection through a mirror. He stomps out with noticeable steps that echoed from the inside of the laboratory and then stood standing in front Nii with his arm crossed above his chest, pouting like a kid that he is.

"I am not wearing this rabbit suit." The prince continues to pout some more.

"I think it looks stunning." Nii smiles back.

"Of course it does..." Kougaiji voiced trailed off with a flat note. "Is this a sick joke?"

"Oh come on Kougaiji, where is your spirit?"
