From Sergio's POV

I hear the door open and I know that my human is home. I walk up and meow. "Hey Sergio." she says picking me up.
I start purring and she starts to pet me. This is my favorite part of my day. I really enjoy my human and her touch. Out of no where she stops. I look up at her. How could she stop petting me. "Sergio how do you want to spend Halloween?" she asks.
A human holiday, or at least I think it is. What ever it is, I have no interest in this Halloween. I meow to let her know I do not care. She mistakes this as confusion. "What is this Halloween you ask. For adults it is a time to dress up and go to parties. For kids it is a time to dress up and get candy." she tells me.
I remember that she dressed up different than what she normal does at some point, and left me alone. I look up at her. I meow to let her know she could feel free to do that again, and that I would be ok. I know the only reason she could be talking to me about this Halloween is to get my permission to leave me alone. "You are right, we should have a movie night." she says.
I must get my human a translator. She sets me down and heads towards our living room. I follow her into the room. I climb on the couch and lay down. After she picks a movie, she joins me on the couch and plays the movie. Then she makes me curl up with her. For the entire movie she pets me and holds me. I am extremely happy, so all I do is purr. She gets up and places a new movie in. I am upset that she has gotten up in the middle of petting me. When she rejoins me, I forgive her.
She repeats this cycle until she is asleep on the couch. I like this idea of Halloween. I think for my human it is a day to spend with her favorite cat. I guess this human holiday is good for something and as far as I care we can celebrate it everyday.

A little bit different than what most people write but I liked this idea.
