A/N: Hello, it's me; Cartoonatic55. In case you didn't notice by now, I've been having a serious case of writer's block on my other multi-chapter fics. I really don't know what I'm going to do about it. I'm so sorry. However, until then, I have decided to enter a challenge that a friend of mine (E350, for those of you who don't know) has issued and see where that leads me. I hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own these guys. 'Nuff said.

Other: I hope you don't find it too annoying that I write Grim's accent out the way I think it would probably sound. For some reason it just didn't feel right otherwise. This chapter is also pretty short and far from my best. Sorry. :P


Curse

It was Halloween night and Billy was in a devil costume and out trick-or-treating with Grim following behind him. (Normally Mandy would be out there with them, but she was busy working on some unknown self-project at the time.) While they were out, they came up to an old boarded-up mansion that resided on a small hill.

"Ooh! Ooh! Let's go there next, Grim!" Billy insisted while pointing to said mansion.

Grim looked over at where Billy was pointing. "Oh, I wouldn't recommend going up dere, Billy; dere's been a curse on dat house ever since it was built on an old cemetary. Now whoever is dumb enough to walk up to da front door is-" He didn't finish his sentence for he noticed that Billy had ignored him and was rushing up to the front steps of the place. Grim just shook his head and sighed as he watched the foolish boy. "Why am I not surprised?"

Billy eagerly approached the front door, almost tripping on the creaky, wooden steps that lead up to it as he did. "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Candy, candy, candy!" he chanted as he approached the front door. He searched for the doorbell on both sides of the doorway before realizing that it in fact did not have one. (It took him nearly ten minutes to finally figure it out.) However, it did have a large, black knocker on it, so he decided to try that instead. After knocking three times, the door slowly swung open, and Billy immediately held up his bag in front of his face. "Trick or treat!"

There was no response. He shook his bag a bit.

"Hello? Trick or treat?" he repeated somewhat impatiently.

Again, no response.

"Hey! Trick or treat!" he said angrilly while shaking his bag again. Upon getting no response for a third time, he lowered his bag to see what was going on and found out that there was nobody at the door. Billy stood there in silence for a moment, confused about what was going on. Suddenly a green genie-like ghost materialized in the doorway before the boy's eyes.

"TRICK!"

Billy screamed and dashed back down the hill, unknowingly dropping his bag of candy along the way. He ran past Grim and started screaming "Ghost" repeatedly as he took off down the street. Grim just stood by and watched him while the ghost-genie came over to him, carrying Billy's abandonned bag of candy with her.

"Would you care for a coconut cluster, Grim?" she asked, taking one out of the bag.

The reaper shook his head. "No, but tanks anyway, Des; I needed dat."

Desiree smiled. "Any time, Grimmy."


A/N: Well, there you go.

Lilo: ... That's it?

Well, I told you that it was short, didn't I?

Sora: Yeah, but that was too short!

Sorry; I told you it wasn't one of my best.

Penguin: I guess we all know who's not going to win that challenge then...

Well, whatever. At least I'm writing again. I hope I can get the next chapter up soon. (Which I promise will be longer.) So... Yeah, feel free to review, criticize, flame, whatever. So long as it's somewhat relevant to the oneshot, I probably won't complain. :P
