Jack & the Lantern
Jackson Darby sat on the front porch in a rocking-chair at his mom's house carving a pumpkin with a kitchen knife. It was hard work but this would be the fifth and last one to carve, his mother was out with Miko Nakadai shopping for treats, the Autobots were out doing who knows what, and him and Raf Esquivel were at his house playing games and doing chores.
Well, he was the one carving pumpkins while Raf was inside playing another game on T/V.
"Jack?"
Looking up to a familiar voice, Jack smiled as he thought that Arcee had just rolled in the drive-way. But no-one was there, what?
He swore that he had heard her voice, either that or he was crazed high on the pumpkin smell!
"Hey Raf?"
No one.
Grunting, Jack returned back to his work, having cut out one eye of the future Jack O' Lantern, funny how he used to think that he was named after one when he was smaller. He smirked, while Miko was out 'shopping' he was here doing the best Lanterns anyone had seen!
"Raf!"
Still no reply.
"Rafael Esquivel, come out here now!"
After hearing a thirteen year-old sigh in disagreement, he smiled as he looked at the half-made lantern on his lap.
"Ahh! What the?"
His grin grew wider as he saw Raf looking horrified at the sickly made Pumpkins. "You like?"
"No."
Jack's grin disappeared and was replaced by a betrayed frown. "Really?"
"Yeah…"
Jack looked at the Lanterns more closely and realised that they weren't as perfect but they were still in good touch. "Right?"
"Wrong! When someone sees this, they gonna freak!"
"Oh, okay!"
Jack threw it over his shoulder, maybe they weren't the best Raf had seen but at least he could rub it in Miko's face!
"Uhh, Jack?"
Raf's voice echoed in his head and as he looked up, the younger boy was gone!
"Yes?"
"Look down."
Jack carefully did as he was told and saw orange liquid pooling onto his lap.
"Eww! Gross!"
Suddenly Miko burst out of the bushes with a wide grin on her face as if to stay she won the Halloween treats.
"Happy Halloween Jack!"
"I'll get you back for this!"
Giggling, she ran into the house followed by an angry Jack with an orange soaked lap.
Happy Halloween, I hope you liked it and tell me how it was. This is a Halloween Special One-shot, thanks for reading! (Sorry if it's short but I just came up with this, so please no flames!)
