Ah, October. One of my three favorite months of the year. 8D Time for pumpkin carving and candy eating. All that good stuff. I didn't do anything last year for Halloween, but this year I'm going all out. And that happens to include Halloween fics. 8D
Some things I deem important;
May, Dawn, Drew, and Paul are fifteen in this fic. Max, who will make a couple appearances, is thirteen.
This is sort of AU. They all live in the same city, let's call it Petalburg. ;D Pokemon exists in this story, but they're not on a journey. So really. Just think of it as the real world, only with Pokemon and no school. xD'
The Ikarishipping portion of this story is dedicated to Charizard Girl.
Summary;
Leaves falling from the trees, carving pumpkins, shopping for costumes. All in the spirit of the month. But when the guys you and your best friend are crushing on have some hidden plot to scare you? What's a girl to do? Contestshipping and Ikarishipping!

Friday, October 16th. (Countdown: Fifteen days.)
Cold. Dark. Spooky. Those could be a few words that described this October night. Walking down an average neighborhood street, the Jack-o-lantern's lights illuminated against the darkness. Look closely at the sky, and you shouldn't be surprised if you see a Zubat flying along from tree to tree.
Two teenage girls that were walking along this very street had the feeling they were being followed. They quickened their pace, their goal to get back to the brunette's house safely.
Two more blocks to go.
A loud undeniable rusting noise came right behind both girls. They froze in shock. They both inched their hands towards their Pokeballs.
Slowly turning around and waiting for their stalker to emerge from the bush, the seconds went by like minutes. Finally a little Pichu dashed out from the bush and both girls let out a sigh of relief. Glancing at each other they giggled at their mistake.
Turning around to continue the trek to the location of their sleepover, they tried to calm their thumping hearts. When they had fully turned around however, two shadowed figures jumped out from a spooky looking willow tree.
A loud bloodcurdling scream sounded through the street and a family of Zubat quickly flew back in retreat.
The two girls backed up in fright and tripped over each other, resulting in them landing on their butts. They didn't dare to open their eyes, afraid of what they would see. However, when two distinct sounds of laughter filled their ears, the curiosity got the better of them.
"Ha! I told you they would land on their asses. Pay up!" A green haired boy turned away from the two girls and stuck his hand infront of his accomplice. His accomplice had purple hair and a scowl on his face. Though, his eyes showed he was clearly amused with the whole situation and didn't mind he was $20 poorer than he was a minute ago.
As the boys silently exchanged money, the two girl's faces went through three transitions; Fear, confusion, and utter rage.
When the boys didn't hear anything from the girls, who had yet to get off the ground, they slowly turned towards them. At first glance they looked completely calm, but their eyes had a fire in them that just told the boys they should run.
And that they did.
Huffing, the girls finally stood with a bittersweet satisfaction. They were able to get the boys to run in fear from them.. but they didn't get to tell them off or cause bodily harm. The brunette finally turned to her blue haired friend as they continued walking. "What is wrong with those boys Dawn? Do they get some sort of sick kick out of scaring us?" The blue haired girl, now known as Dawn, glared in front of her. "May.. I have no idea."
The girls finally arrived at May's house and they were quick to enter and head upstairs. A quick change into pajamas, a run downstairs to get some popcorn, and a flip of a television switch and the girls were all set to go.
-
Panting, the two boys had ran a good five blocks. The purple haired boy said it wasn't necessary to run that far, but the other boy had been dead set on running as far as they could. He hadn't given an explanation as to why, but knew out of experience that when he made May that mad she had made it a habit of having her Blaziken chase him down, and that wasn't really something he deemed pleasant to go through.
Once both boys got over their tiredness, they looked at each other and smirked.
Mission accomplished.
They knew that both girls were scared easily, so they were going to make the most of the remainder of this month. After all, Halloween was only a couple weeks away!
Hm, okay. Short start, but the rest of the chapters will be a bit longer. (My mind seems to only be capable of making stories with 1,000-2,000 words per chapter.)
I have the next two chapters written out and I'm working on the fourth one at this moment.
See any errors? Let me know, and I'll be ecstatic to fix them. c:
Most importantly, review! Encouragement is the best feeling in the world. :D
