Sailor Moon's Spooky Stories Night.
Author's Note: After my last holiday special "Sailor Moon's Mammoth Christmas Adventure", I've decided to re-write and post my other earlier story I wrote years ago, originaly titled "Sailor Moon's Scared Shrekless".
It features characters from Sailor Moon original anime(I prefer the original than the new anime), Shrek, Pokemon, Cardcaptors, and Ice Age, and mentions characters of Rugrats, not that I own any of them.
Let's begin with the first chapter.
CH1: Spooky Story Contest.
TASHASAUROUS Presents...
A Sailor Moon, Shrek, Pokemon, Ice Age and Cardcaptors crossover Halloween Special.
SAILOR MOON'S SPOOKY STORIES.
October 31st-1999; Halloween-One month after the events of the "Sailor Moon: Advent Children" Trilogy and "Cardcaptors: The Final Card"...
It was the night of Halloween, the night were the frights come to life. Well, not really, but it's still pretty scary but fun anyway. It's also the night were kids would go out trick-or-treating dressed up in costumes of almost everything, knock on people's doors and say those three words, and get candy for free.
Except for a trio of teenaged kids who only went out to get candy, and boy they walked up to a house of a family who celebrated Halloween quite differently.
Literally.
"Run! Run for your life!" One of the kids screams as he drops a touch and runs off from one part of the forest. A big fat kid with no hair(Except for a little bit since it was pulled off somehow) was screaming as he cried out, "No-ho-ho! Keep away! Keep it away!" like a great big baby.
A third kid, with a freaked out expression that looked like he was about to cry too, stops briefly, throwing a bag that had a picture of a scary-faced pumpkin onto the ground, screaming, "Take it! Take all of it!" and runs away, trying to keep up with his companions, while the bag falls onto the ground, with Candy spilling all over the place.
"The Monster took my shoe!" Cried the first kid, before they are heard no more as they race for safety. Boy they'll be having lots and lots of nightmares tonight.
Too bad they didn't realise it was all just a Halloween joke, played on three smaller figures who were far too small to cause any harm. Approaching the candy, were the Ogre triplet babies, now a year old, and had paint around their mouths that looked like wisdom sharp teeth, which was the main reason why the teenaged human kids had ran away.
"Candy!" Fergus, the middle baby with no hair, squealled happily, as he and his brother Farkle who had a tuff of hair, and their sister, Felicia, who also had hair with a pink bow, and had eyes like their mother, walked and cralwed to the candy, and began eating the candy.
"Yay, treats!" Squeaked Felica, who could talk more than her two brothers. "I love treats!" while someone behind them laughed, and the babies knew who it was. Their father, Shrek, who smiled proudly at his kids.
"Felicia." Shrek greeted.
"Hi, daddy!" Felica greeted back.
"That was a nice grip you had on that big, fat kid." Shrek continued to his daughter, while she and her two brothers walked or crawled up to him to be lifted up. Shrek then looked at the first boy baby with the brown hair, and says, "Farkle, excellent work with your teeth." as he picks up both Felica and the third baby while Farkle the brown haired boy baby.
Finally Shrek looks at the third baby and says, "Fergus, my lad," while Fergus the last squeals happily, "Daddy daddy daddy." and Shrek then whispers softly, "You have to work on your timing."
Then he looked at all three of his triplet children and says with a smile, "All-in-all, not bad for your first Halloween." just as Fiona approached.
"They're growing up so fast." She said, before scooping her daughter in her arms, and Felica had a mouthful of hair, as Fiona added, "And look who got her first clump of hair."
"Hoho! Did you see? Farkle got 'im in the ankle." Shrek laughed, as he shows the former princess that Farkle was the one who took hold of the first teenage boy's shoe, as the baby held onto it happily, as the family walk back to their home which was surrounded by pumpkins turned into jacko-lanterns with all kinds of scary and evil faces, suited perfectly for Halloween.
"What about little Fergus?" Fiona asked.
"Nothing yet."
"Oh, that's alright, sweetie." Fiona said to Fergus, "Moma didn't get a scare this year either." while she briefly played with Felicia who squealed.
Shrek smiled and told her, "Fear not, my love. The night is still young."
But as the group were about to step inside, they noticed that the door was opened slightly, confusing the two adults while the children were now all carried by Fiona, while Shrek asked in confusion, "Hold the phone. Who left the door open?"
Fiona became a bit worried, and asked in a whisper, "You don't think that someone's inside?" worried about intruders or burgerlers that might've come to attack, though her guts were saying otherwise, but it didn't hurt to be extra careful.
"Now, who'd be stupid enough to break into an Ogre's house?" Shrek replied, skeptically as he pushed the door open further to step inside. At first it was dark, but then 2 seconds later, the lights came back on and it showed...the rest of the Sailor Team who all were wearing different kinds of scary costumes and screamed out to give away a terrifying appearences.
Serena, Darien, Rini, Donkey, Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Casey, Sakura, Madision, Brock, Lita, Lusie, May, Max, Pikachu, Dawn, Piplup, Kero, Amy, Gingy, the three Pigs, Raye, Mina, the three blind mice, Sid, Crash, Eddie, Pinoccio and even Manny, and Ellie(who was just now one month away from giving birth) were all dressed in scary costumes, from mummies, to undead clowns, skeletons, evil witches, hanging prisoner(In Pinoccio's case), Ghosts(and Ghost Pokemon), Vampires, Zombies and Warewolves, as if they were attempting to scare Shrek and his family.
Too bad it wasn't effective at all. Even the triplets didn't flinch or look terrified. If anything, in their still new little minds, they thought this sort of thing was cute.
"Oh wow, terrifying. I don't know how I'm gonna sleep now." Shrek said sarcastically as he stepped in, with Fiona close behind.
"Happy Halloween, everyone." Fiona greeted with an amused smile. Even she thought this greeting was cute and held a Halloween spirit.
This response made the group all groan in disappointment as they slumped. Man, and they were so close, too!
"Oh man." Donkey groaned, dressed like an undead clown.
Crash looked at Donkey in annoyance and says, "You said that this was gonna scare 'em, dude." as he and Eddie were both dressed up as Zombies...in not so convincing costumes.
"I told you we should've dressed up as Skeletons!" Eddie told his brother.
"Oh, I knew nothing would scare them." Manny rolled his eyes as he, Ellie and Peaches were dressed as Ware-wolves. Or in this case, Ware-mammoths.
Pinoccio was gaging in attempt to scare Shrek who just pulled the curten in front of the puppet who complained, "Hey! I worked hard on this Costume!" in which his nose grows again, which means that he lied again. "Oops. Heheh." he laughed nervously.
"Come on, Shrek. Admit it." Sid, who was dressed up as a Dusclops, began to the Ogre. "You gotta at least have been a little bit scared, right?"
"Sid, Ogres don't get scared. We do the scaring." Fiona pointed out, before she went to give the babies some bottles to feed them since they looked they were about to be hungry.
Shrek nodded in agreement and added, "And that's why, here in the Fairytale world, we're the Kings of Halloween."
"Could've fooled me." Serena pointed out, in a costume that was similiar to Vincent's outfit in the past 8,000 years ago which, considering how the design was complicated, with Madision's help, she looked pretty good. Added with false vampire teeth, she was dressed as a vampire. "There were times when even you freaked out, Shrek." she added with a bit of a smirk.
"Yeah, I bet we can find something that would scare the pants off you!" Donkey added with determination.
"Which would scare me." Diego muttered sarcastically as he was dressed as a Ware-Tiger that had a look of a zombie to it, which was a bit of an over-kill considering how he was scary to begin with. The others looked at him breifly before turning back to their conversation.
"Oh, really?" Shrek said, challengingly with playfulness, before questioning, "And what do you have in mind?" as he places his hands on his hips.
Quickly an idea came into his mind and Donkey declared the one thing that is also traditional for Halloween. "All of us, telling scary stories, all night long! There ain't no way you won't be scared!"
"Yes!" Puss, who was dressed as a 'Cat-pire', agreed full heartedly as he added, ominously, "Stories that would make your blood run cold!"
"Yeah!" Donkey agreed.
"Stories to terrify you." Puss added.
"Yeah!"
"And whoever that will last through the night, shall be named, 'The King of Halloween'!" Puss concludded boldy, as thunder roared and lightning briefly flashed outside, which reflected inside the house that made things more spookier.
"I accept." Shrek agreed.
"We doubly accept!" Donkey added, referring to both him and Puss.
Shrek then gazed at the rest of the group and invited heartedly for the new fun contest, "Does anyone else wanna join in our little contest?"
"Count me in!" Serena declared happily.
Raye who was dressed as the Queen of the Demons looked at her friend and asks, "You, Serena? You can't even handle a Spider." in which Serena glared at her and points out, "Hey, I was fine back in Halloween town...twice!"
"Not to mention that you were the first one who wasn't scared of Shrek when you two first met last year." Ash admitted, dressed up like a Haunter. Then he adds with excitement, and determination, "But either way, I'm gonna join the contest too!"
Pikachu, who was dressed as a Gastly that was comfortable, added, "Pipikachu!"
"Me too!" Max adds, dressed up like a Mummy.
"Me three!" Rini adds, dressed up like an evil witch.
"Count us in." Brock and Lita both declared.
"I'm in!" Gingy declared.
"Us too!" Eddie added, with Crash saying, "Yeah! Besides, we're the Kings of the Night, baby!"
Soon Sid, Dawn(who was dressed as a Demon Princess), Piplup(also dressed as a ghost Pokemon) and the other Fairytale gang all decided by wanted to join in.
"Well, you guys go on ahead, the others and I are just gonna head back to our place for a little Halloween party." Sakura(who was dressed up like a witch) said, since she still didn't like scary stories, waving the rest of the group goodbye as she, Madision, Raye, Amy, Mina, May, Lusie and Misty left the house.
"And the three of us have some more Halloween decorating to do." Darien added, giving Serena a gentle kiss on the cheek, before leaving with Manny, Ellie, Diego who secretly smirked(how Manny and Ellie can fit, I have no idea).
Fiona smiled and concluded with a secret smile, "Okay, I think I'll take the kids out and terrify a few more Trick-or-Treaters."
"Will I see you later?" Shrek asked, with a secret smile of his own.
"The night is young." Fiona farewelled as she led the three babies out, one of them saying, "Trick or treat."
"Bye, sweeties. See you soon." Serena waved at her two nephews and niece, while secreting grinning evilly herself. So far, the secret scare was starting to go along, though she wasn't certain how the rest of the plan would turn out tonight.
Puss then settled himself on Shrek's chair, clearing his throat, and began, "I shall begin; Once apon a midnight dreary-" only to cut off when Donkey bumped him out of the chair and took over.
"There was this crazy albino guy with a hook, who lived in a mirror. And if you looked at him, you'd wake up in a bathtub full of ice, with your kidneys gone!" Donkey continued, while Puss approached and glared at him.
"Aw, everyone knows that story, Donkey." Ash slumped, before adding, "At least on Earth, because that's been around for at least after Jack, Barbossa, Gibbs and the Black Pearl crew were born."
"I didn't know you knew about that story, Ash." Crash thought, surprised.
Shrek then interrupted the group, "Whoa, hey. Hold on. I didn't say we were doing this here." which confused the rest of the group, wondering what he was talking about, before he continued with a grin, "You name the terms, I name the place."
Despite that the contest wasn't even starting yet as the group at hoped, Donkey then said with a grumble, "Okay, fine. Where are we gonna do this?"
BOOM! FLASH! BOOM!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed as Serena and her friends arrived at the gates of Duloc which was also decorated for Halloween as well, as many people and their children were out trick-or-treating and those without children or just waiting for their kids to return home were giving out candy with costumes of their own. Among the trick-or-treaters were the Pickles Family, the Finster Family, and the Deville Family.
Who knows where Team Rocket is. Probably celebrating their own Halloween event.
What the group heard from Shrek surprised them and worried most of them. "The basement in the castle?" Serena asked with a quirked eyebrow. The basement, as far as she knew, wasn't used that much. Unlike most basements, the basement in the castle was also used as a spare living room Farquaad used to use before his demise almost two years ago.
Sid then laughed sarcastically, "Ha ha. Very funny, Shrek."
The Painter-P(pig) looked nervous and pointed out, "But this where Lord Farquaad used lived before Serena and Darien took over."
"Jaq, und died." The Builder-P added.
"I've heard that on Halloween nights it's haunted by his ghost." Pinocchio added, feeling a little shaken.
Serena looked skeptically at the Puppet and pointed out, "Oh gimme a break. If the town was haunted by Farquaad's ghost, Darien, the others and I would've seen him by now, even at last year's Halloween."
"She has a point." Ash agreed, not scared or even worried at all. "Besides, what's the worst that could happen on Halloween?"
Sid then scoffed and says, not concerned either, "Oh, that old ghost stuff is just a stupid rumor to scare tourists on Halloween. How bad can this be?"
Even Dawn was excited and said, "Yeah, and if anything, it's more exciting and thrilling! I've never been scared on Halloween and I love scary stories."
"Now that's what I call spirit. C'mon then." Shrek grinned as he led the group through the streets, passing by everyone as they made their way to the castle.
"Hold up, guys. You can't just go burging in like you own the place." Donkey said, worriedly
"And why not? It's Serena's town. Besides, it's not like anyone is gonna stop us, they're all too busy giving out Candy." Shrek pointed out.
Serena then remembered something and said, "Hold up. There's something I gotta show you guys." heading over to the familiar Duloc Information thingy, which the group followed and stopped in front of it.
"Why are you gonna show us that thing?" Ash asked, skeptical.
The Moon Princess smiled proudly and answered, "Well, this year, I've added a few spooky settings into this. So, I asked Uncle Stu to set the Duloc Information box into a spooky version only and especially for Halloween." and with that, she pulled the lever and stood back to her friends as the thing opens up and it sings with a spooky version like it's an altered version if Serena and Darien never owned the kingdom.
"~Welcome to Duloc, it's a creepy town,
What was once pasince, now it's all run down(the head of the school teacher springing off upward which made Donkey and the others except for Serena and Shrek quickly getting freaked out.)
We will chop off your head, and then laugh when you're dead,
Duloc is a creepy place(One dummy was bashing another one with a wooden fish hard, wrecking the other dummy.)
Come on in, what the heck, fall right down,
Break your...face(one of the dummies' eyes pop out, then the whole head shoots upward)(Gingy just stood there with a freaked out expression, as he plops out candy from his backside, while Crash and Eddie both looked horrified and dumbfounded.)
Duloc is,(The teacher is now on fire) Duloc is,(One of the dummies explode)
Duloc is a CREEPY Place!(A fake lighting bolt falling onto a dummy)~"
As the thing closes up, Shrek holds Donkey to his side while Serena joined them as the picture was taken, and the album comes out with Shrek grinning, Serena making a goofy expression, and Donkey looked freaked out, and the words on the photo says, "Get out!"
"Well, what'dya think? Wasn't that spooktacular?" Serena asked, pleased with how it turned out. Only Shrek had an excited grin on his face, while everyone else looked really spooked.
"Serena...that's enough to give me nightmares." Ash muttered, blinking. He then grinned and said, "Now that's what I call Halloween spirit." with even Pikachu, Dawn and Lita nodding in agreement, all impressed. Everyone else still looked freaked out.
Shrek in the mean time lets go of Donkey and says happily, "Ooh! Lets do that again!"
"NO!" Donkey and Sid both said in unison, too freaked out by this version of the Duloc greeting box.
With that, the group continued on to the castle's basement to begin their contest.
A/N: The first chapter of the redone story is complete. I won't be able to post other chapters today for Halloween, but this is better than nothing. Hope you liked it.
