It was 295 days until Halloween and that's when the trouble began. My twin sister, Jacqueline, and I were playing with Zero when we stumbled across these weird trees. They were all in a circle, and had different colors. There was a red heart, a weird tree with sparkly balls on it, a painted egg, and a big green leaf.
"What do you think these are Salem?"
"Trees, duh. Don't be so stupid, Jackie!" I shoved her bony shoulder lightly.
"I'm not stupid Sal!" She yelled with a push.
"Then why do you always ask dumb questions?"
"Maybe because I'm always around you!"
I lunged at her with all my might. She crossed the line. But instead of hitting one of the trees we fell into one. And down we went, into a hole filled with pink and red hearts, red roses, babies holding arrows, lace, ribbons, doves, and so many other things flying around. After what seemed like forever we finally landed in a soft bed of white, cold stuff.
"Whoa! Where are we?" I asked curiously.
"I don't know, but it's not Halloween Town…"
"How do we get back?"
"How would I know?"
"Because you brought us here!"
"No I didn't, you did! You started it first!"
We went back and forth for a little bit, until a small baby with wings flew over to us.
"Please stop, for this is a happy place. A place or love, peace, and joy."
"Joy?" We asked in unison.
"Welcome to Valentines Land!" The baby opened his arms, and smiled. "And where are you from? You most obviously are not from here."
"Halloween Town!" Jacqueline shouted.
"Halloween Town?"
"Yeah, it's dark, creepy, spooky and scary. We have this big celebration every October 31st where we go into the real world and frighten all the humans!" I explained excitedly. "What's it like here?"
"Well, follow me and let me show you."
