***Authors Note***
Well, in order to make this work Church and Tex never died. This story will probably be so weird but it's just a fun halloween fic. I'm going to try using other peoples point of views instead of just Church and Caboose's. Also I'll make it centered around all Blue team instead of just certain characters. This should be cool, so tell me if you like it! :D

************************************************** ***************************

Tucker sat down at the table with a bowl of cereal for breakfast. It was just a typical day at Blood Gulch, and he was back to his old routine of doing absolutely nothing productive. Things had been pretty calm since Tex had left, she seemed to have taken all the problems they had been facing with her, not surprising though. Church had always said Freelancers brought problems and this continuously was proven true with Tex, Wyoming, and all those AIs. No one really knew why she left, she just packed her stuff up and went away. Church seemed pretty content though, it didn't seem to hit him too hard, he was actually glad she left. Everyone at the base was happy, now Church was less of an asshole, for some reason he was really uptight when Tex was around. Caboose had mentioned something about Tex and Church breaking up, he said that was probably why Tex left, but Tucker wasn't sure whether or not to believe him... Since it is Caboose, there's a 99% chance he was wrong, and Tucker was NOT going to ask Church if it was true, he knew that would be pushing his luck and Church would probably freak out at him.

Tucker heard someone enter the room and looked up, it was Church. The blue team leader was wearing all of his cobalt armor except for his helmet, which he kept tucked under one of his arms. He held a clipboard with his freehand and was staring down at it intently, Tucker guessed he was looking over some information Command had sent him or something. Church had his black hair messy like usual, the only facial hair he had was a bit of stubble and a small goatee, his skin was pale and looked like he hadn't gone outside much, and he was the shortest person on the team at least by a few inches. The leader looked over at Tucker with his pale silver eyes, he kept his stoic expression as he walked over to the table and placed the clip board down.

"What's that?" Tucker asked pointing his spoon over to the papers on the clip board, Church shrugged as he sat down in the chair at the other side of the table.

"Just some medical records Command sent over." He stated, Tucker rolled his eyes.

"Don't tell me they're sending another medic." He said dropping his spoon in his cereal. Tucker did not want to deal with the same events that previously happened when Doc came to Blood Gulch.

"God no, they only bring bad luck." Church said with a scoff, Tucker had to agree, Doc did bring some pretty bad luck... O'malley... The alien baby... Tucker honestly forgot about Jr for a bit, his 'son' had left with Tex... At least that's what Church told him, but Tucker felt there was at least a 30% chance that Church actually killed him or sent him away. Tucker was pissed at first but he seemed to have gotten over it, chicks didn't seem to dig kids that much anymore... That would help if there actually were chicks in this canyon. Tex had left and Sister was staying with the reds for a bit, much to Sarge's dislike.

"So what do you want?" Tucker asked, giving Church a knowing glance. The leader seemed to have something he wanted to say.

"You're going on gaurd duty today." Church said, Tucker groaned, he hated gaurd duty it was so boring, all you did was sit up on top of the base and keep watch. Nothing ever happened.

"Is anyone going with me?" Tucker asked, unsure if he even wanted anyone to go. Church could be good company, depending on his mood, but Caboose was just annoying and he did not want to deal with that on the already mind numbing job.

"Nope, just you." Church responded, leaning back in the chair.

"Why can't you do it?" Tucker asked, he felt like he had done gaurd duty for the past week, he deserved a break. Church scratched the back of his head and stifled a small laugh.

"Can't, Caboose won't let me." He said, Tucker gave him a suspicious glance.

"Caboose won't let you?" He asked, Church rolled his eyes.

"Well, he wouldn't be happy if I did since it's Halloween and for some reason he wants to spend time with me." The leader replied with a small smile. Tucker noticed he had been a lot more tolerant with Caboose lately. Church would actually want to hang out with him sometimes. Maybe he was just lonely since Tex had left, Tucker didn't know, but Caboose sure as hell didn't complain, he was more chirpier than ever actually.

"Why do you care if you upset Caboose?" Tucker asked, Church gave him a look like he should know this.

"You know how Caboose get's when he's upset, none of us want to deal with that." The leader said, Tucker thought for a moment before nodding, Caboose was terrible when he was upset. More annoying than he was when he was happy.

"What about Washington? Can't he go on gaurd?" Tucker asked. Washington had just joined Blue team in replacement for Tex. At first he wasn't too welcomed but he managed to grow on the group. Washington wasn't too bad, not really annoying, just a little strict at times. Tucker couldn't imagine what he'd be like if he was leader, as moody as Church could be he'd rather have him as the laid back leader than Washington.

"Wash said he had something to do." Church said getting up and stretching.

"He didn't say what?" Tucker asked, Church shook his head.

"Nope, but are you surprised. Wash is always secretive." He replied, that tended to be a pattern with the Freelancers, they all hid stuff. Before Tucker could continue his conversation with Church and try to find a way out of gaurd duty Caboose bounced into the room.

"Church, we have a lot to do today!" The blonde chirped, he was still in his blue duck pajmas and had a goofy smile plaster on his face. Church sighed, a ghost of a smile appeared on his face.

"Yeah, yeah, hold on a sec I just- AH" Before Church could continue his sentence he was dragged off by the taller blonde. Tucker couldn't help but laugh a bit at this. Once the two left Tucker started to think to himself, what was Wash doing that was so important today? The Freelancer always seemed to be doing something secretive in his spare time, no one really knew what but no one really questioned it. Washington actually was a pretty peculiar person, he was actually a bit awkward at times but held everything at severe importance. Washington actually was more of a loner than Church, which is saying a lot. He also seemed a bit shy, he wouldn't take his armor off outside and wouldn't eat in front of anyone. To be honest Tucker had never even seen him pick up a piece of food. The teal spartan shook off his thoughts, he had to go outside on gaurd duty before Church got pissed at him. Again, even if the cobalt spartan seemed in a good mood now he didn't want to press his luck. Tucker sighed, it was just going to be another one of those uneventful days.

************************************************** ************************

Tucker sat on top of the base, it was finally dark now indicating his guard duty would be done soon. He was slightly envious of Church and Caboose, just for the fact he heard the two having fun all day... Well Caboose having fun and Church at least tolerating it. Tucker wished he could've done something fun today, it was Halloween in fact, there probably were some good movies on, but instead he had to do this boring job. At times like these he hated being in the army, but at least Church was pretty lenient with most of the stuff. He didn't make them drill or constantly do inventory and other jobs. The teal spartan was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard scuffling near the base, he looked around but didn't see anything.

"Hello?" Tucker asked, there was no response. At first Tucker thought he had just been hearing things but then he heard the noise again, and now there was a low growl. The teal spartan's eyes narrowed and a pang of fear ran through him, he quickly shook it off. It was probably Church and Caboose pulling a prank on him, trying to get him scared on Halloween. He wouldn't be surprised since Caboose hated him and Church was just evil like that. Tucker heard something run around the side of the base.

"Come on guys I know it's you." He said. Tucker leaned over the edge of the base.

"Just come out already." The teal spartan said, but nothing happened. No one came out or spoke up. Tucker couldn't help but grow worried, what if it wasn't Church and Caboose. But who could it be then? Before Tucker could question it anymore something pulled him off the top of the base.

"AHH!" He yelled as he fell to the ground with a thud, his vision was blurred a bit, he was about to get up but was tackled. He rolled across the dirt and was pinned down, Tucker's eyes widened when he looked up. On top of him was some dog looking creature, he recognized what it was from the old movies he watched, a werewolf. But that wasn't possible, those weren't real! They were just a made up creature that hollywood people created to scare kids! Yet the proof was right in front of him. Tucker felt claws wrap around his wrist and the werewolf snarled in his face.

'This has to be a dream!' Tucker thought to himself, just a nightmare that his mind created knowing it was Halloween. He had probably just fallen asleep on top of the base, bored from gaurd duty. Tucker was brought to reality when he felt teeth grip into his neck, he yelled out in pain, this was not a dream, it couldn't be... The pain was excruciating, he wouldn't feel this if he was in a dream. Something hit the werewolf off of him, making it yelp. Tucker looked up with wide eyes to see Washington, the Freelancer must've heard what was happening.

The teal spartan was surprised to see how fast Washington fought, the werewolf tried to get up but the Freelancer hit it back down. Tucker's vision was getting blurry again, the pain in his neck was getting worse but he still watched. He could make out Washington's figure and saw the Freelancer rip something off the werewolf, it took a couple moments for it to process that it was the werewolf's head. Tucker was surprised with how brutal Washington was and how much speed and strength he possesed. The teal spartan tried to get up to go make sure Washington was okay but fell to the ground, everything went black after that.

***Author's Note***

So what do you think, it's pretty short but the chapters WILL get much longer as time goes on. I actually might be able to write the next chapter since I'm going to stay up for a live stream tonight and will work on this while I'm watching it. I know this is a pretty weird story, but leave me a review and tell me how you think it is so far. Thank you so much for reading! :D
