Chapter I: The Evil Chocolate Fairy
Hello, GX fans! Here we are, your chaotic duo of authors, Peach Wookiee and 15animefreak15, coming to you with a Halloween special set during Darkness Falls! That's right. A nice, heaping bowl of humor to help all of you swallow down the horror and angst that's been prevalent in the story. Well, if you think you'll be able to swallow anything without choking since you'll be laughing so hard. This is more in tone with a crack fic where insanity rules the day. For example, Jaden's already bouncy way of acting will be exaggerated here, but all in the name of fun.So we hope you will laugh until your sides hurt. And hopefully none of this offends anybody. It's all in good fun. Some character bashing, but nothing serious. You'll see what we mean in a few chapters. You'll also see cross-dressing, some dealing with bullies and yes, zombies dancing to the late Michael Jackson's Thriller. So this is going to be strange and we hope funny. And fitting for Halloween! Don't eat too much candy this Saturday and get a tummy-ache, guys! It'll hurt more when you laugh reading this fic... And without further ado, we bring you... Halloween Hysterics!
The Usual Boring Legal Stuff: Peach and Ani, for the hundredth time, do NOT own any part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Or Halloween. Or chocolate. Well, Ani owns some candy but- now I'm getting off-track! Peach!! Okay! We also don't own anything by the late Michael Jackson or the anime, manga or related properties of anything else. So please, for the love of Kuriboh, don't sue us! You wouldn't get much. Trust us. *pulls out the insides of her empty pockets* *Peach does the same* We're not worth it. *Ani mutters* It'd probably cost you more to pay the lawyer... Yeah. Anyway, we just like playing around with the Yugi-verse. Is there anything else our legal department needs to bring up? Random Attorney: *sifts through documents* You don't own russet potatoes, either. Nope. We just eat them. *Peach says this as she places mashed potatoes on a piece of turkey* *Ani comes from behind and eats up the food Scooby-Doo-style* Oh, and we don't own THAT, either. Do we really own much of value? *Ani holds up Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream bar* I consider this to be valuable. *Peach smiles, holding up her piece of French bread* I consider this valuable too… Okay, so on with the show!
It was October 27th, 2019, just a few days before Halloween. Jaden Kiyo Yuki awoke in the Obelisk dorm next to Alexis Rhodes, his fiancée. It was midday and a Saturday, and though the Slifer boy was used to sleeping in, he had a major case of the munchies.
And in the adjacent Obelisk boys dorm stood another who had woken far earlier than usual with a growling stomach. Jesse Anderson, comically labeled "Jaden's twin" or "Jaden's clone", was disgruntled to find his room empty of snacks. The teal-haired, green-eyed teen scratched his head sleepily as he frowned. "Hmm... I wonder if Jay has any snacks... He usually gets hungry, too." Jesse grinned. "Guess I'll just have to go over there and pay him a visit!" he decided, loving an excuse to visit his best friend and get some food at the same time.
Jaden got out of bed so as not to disturb the woman he loved, meanwhile, and then smelled something delectable. 'Chocolate...' He followed the smell from the bedroom to the sitting room to the bedroom that had formerly belonged to Mindy Carrington. And concealed under her bed was a huge bag of chocolate. "The mother lode," he whispered, brown eyes shining.
And then there was a knock on the door. Jesse stood in the hallway, in his pajamas and shoes, stomach rumbling repeatedly. How he had gotten there so quickly was a mystery, but Jaden too had performed similar feats before. "C'mon, Jay. I know you're up... you get hungry when I do," he muttered.
Jaden tiptoed to the door, holding the bag. Having a good idea who it was, he opened the door. "Hey, Jesse... Look at what I've got. And I haven't even had breakfast yet!" he whispered like a kid on Christmas morning who's found the biggest present under the tree is for him.
Jesse's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, and his grin practically split his face in half. He barely stopped himself from shouting with glee. "Whoa, Jay! Where'd you get so much chocolate?! I don't even think Dorothy has this much!" he whispered excitedly.
"I found it under one of the beds! Can you believe it?!" Jaden whispered back, grinning. Little did he know that the bag had a special purpose…
On the day the girls, Alexis, Violet Haverbrook, Rosa Jimenez and Annie Hanson had returned to school, they had pooled their chocolate. "Okay, maybe we should have an emergency-emergency stash in addition to our personal emergency stashes," Annie suggested as they sat together in Alexis, Mindy and Jasmine's room. Annie was a dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, usually with a curvy figure, but due to the events of the summer, she was extremely thin.
Violet, a young woman with plum-colored hair and grass-green eyes, nodded in agreement. "It's a good idea. Just in case something happens... like if bugs get to it or it melts or worse... if it gets raided." If this was a show, suspenseful music would have played in the background.
"Yeah... knowing our luck, that might just happen," Mindy sighed, playing with her raven ponytail as her gray eyes showed her clear sentiment that this would happen.
"Mindy, they just got back to school! Don't scare them!" Jasmine Fairbanks groaned, tossing her strawberry red hair.
Alexis sighed and sweat-dropped. "It's okay, Mindy. Having our chocolate stolen is nothing to freak out over or get paranoid about... Well, unless you're the one who stole our chocolate." An evil glint flashed in her eyes.
"Well, that's not likely. Like I'd violate the sisterhood that way," Mindy stated, raising her hands in a placating gesture.
"Right. None of us would. As for the boys..." Rosa began, eyes narrowing slightly. The same thought passed through all of their heads.
"But what's the likelihood that the guys'll get in here?" Annie wondered.
And then that night, Alexis, Violet, Rosa and Annie began having horrible nightmares about the traumatic summer and their kidnappings. Consequently, Jaden, Bastion, Tyson and Syrus had all moved into the Obelisk girls' dorms with their fiancées.
Those events had led to the girls' worries coming true; two avaricious eaters had raided their chocolate stash. Maybe Alexis could have stopped them and told them what it was, but she had been sleeping. And after the two weeks of nearly non-sleep a little while ago, it took Jaden to wake her up in the morning. But said Slifer was currently busy digging into the chocolate with his twin.
"Mmmmph... 'Ow 'uch 'ave 'ee eat'n?" Jaden asked Jesse, his cheeks full of chocolate. Translated, he asked, "How much have we eaten?"
"I 'on't 'ow." Jesse answered, meaning, "I don't know." His cheeks were stuffed as well as he picked up the bag and turned it over, only crumbs and chocolate dust drifting out.
Jaden, with some effort, swallowed the last of the chocolate, the final piece a Spanish blend. "Man... that was incredible. The chocolate fairy must've visited us, or those orange guys from the chocolate factory movies dropped it off from Willy Wonka's factory!"
Jesse laughed, happily patting his now contented stomach. "Well, whatever it was, I'm sure glad we got it! That hit the spot. I think I might be able to wait until breakfast now!"
"I think it's brunch," Jaden realized, looking at the time. "Good thing it's Saturday...we're not on a regular schedule. Should we go to the dining hall?"
Jesse nodded. "Uh, but don't ya think ya should wake up Alexis first? Ya don't want her missing brunch. She needs the energy," he pointed out.
"I think she needs to sleep a little longer. I'll get something for her in an hour or so..."
"Okay! But... we need to change, don't we?" Jesse asked, remembering they were both in their PJs.
"Oh, yeah! Meet you in the dining room in a few minutes!"
Jesse gave his friend a thumbs-up and started the run back to his dorm so that he could change.

It wasn't long before Jaden and Jesse were chowing down in the cafeteria with the other boys. "Oh, man... After all that chocolate, this is great!" Jaden smiled, biting into his favorite sundae waffle, a waffle covered in chocolate syrup, cherry pie filling, whipped cream and maraschino cherries on top.
"How can he eat that for brunch?" Bastion Misawa muttered to his now-suitemate, Syrus Truesdale. Bastion was a tall, handsome young man with raven hair and gray eyes. He had a keen intellect and wore the Ra Yellow blazer with pride. He might be living at Obelisk now with his fiancée, Violet Haverbrook, but he was at heart a Ra Yellow.
Syrus, a short young man with flyaway fluffy blue hair, gray eyes and spectacles, clad in the Obelisk boys' uniform, sweat-dropped. "It's Jaden... he's eaten weirder stuff... I think he can eat anything at anytime."
Jesse, too, had a sundae waffle, except his was smothered in cherries and peaches. It was pretty obvious what the Southern boy's favorite fruits were. "This is like havin' two desserts! Right, Jay?" he asked between mouthfuls.
"Yeah! Man, you guys should've been there! We had chocolate!" Jaden grinned at the group of guys.
"Sarge?" Tyson Hassleberry wondered, "Where'd you get it?" Tyson, like Bastion, was a Ra Yellow. He was muscular with tanned skin and dark dreadlocks, part of which was hidden under a bandana that looked like a dinosaur's head. He was an Army brat, and so used military terms to refer to his friends.
"Under... Mindy's old bed, I think... The Oompa Loompas came!" Jaden answered eagerly, his eyes alight like stars.
"Uh... Jaden... Oompa Loompas aren't real," Axel Brody pointed out. He was a transfer student from Duel Academy West, a school headquartered in Los Angeles, though he himself was from a small town in Oregon.
"Then it musta been the chocolate fairy," Jesse stated seriously, remembering what Jaden had said in the room.
Jim Cook, a young man with raven hair and one blue eye (the other obscured by a bandage) from Australia who attended Duel Academy South but had transferred to DA Central, blinked. "Jesse... there aren't any chocolate fairies..." Shirley's growling by his feet sounded suspiciously close to snickering. Shirley was an Australian saltwater crocodile and so to hear her sound like she was snickering was rather a funny event in itself.
Adrian Gecko laughed too. He was a young man with dark red hair and round glasses and he had previously attended Duel Academy East. "Nope. But my Aunt Miriam brings me chocolate by the pound when I ask for it. She works for Godiva..."
Jesse's jaw dropped. "Wow, Adrian! You're one lucky guy! But I guess I'm glad that I can get Ma's homemade pies at least once a week. She sends 'em to me," he replied with a grin.
"My mom sends me treats too," Adrian answered, smiling. "Aunt Miriam doesn't send me chocolate that often."
"At least you won't have to worry about buying chocolates for a girl, mate," Jim joked.
"Nope," the redhead returned, trying to hide a slight blush.
After filling himself to satiety, Jaden waddled back to the room he shared with Alexis. "Hey, babe... wake up, I brought you some food," he murmured, shaking her shoulder.
The blonde girl groaned and turned over in the bed, part of her wanting to ignore him and pull the covers up over her head. But then her stomach growled, reminding her that she needed to eat. With a sigh she sat up, stifling a yawn and then rubbing the sleep from her hazel brown eyes. "Thanks, Jay..."
"How are you feeling?" he asked, getting the food onto a plate and onto a tray he'd brought into the room.
"Better... still really tired," she answered, slowly waking up little by little.
He gave her a quick kiss and set the tray on a desk. "You're looking a lot better. The circles under your eyes are disappearing."
She smiled a little. "Good. I won't need to wear so much make-up..."
"You look good to me without it," he smiled back, meaning it. "I didn't want to wake you... Jesse came by a couple of hours ago."
She blinked in surprise. "He did?"
"Yeah. I got up and was looking for a snack and he came by wanting a snack... And then..." Here Jaden's expression became like that of a contented toddler. "We found out the Oompa Loompas came!"
Alexis would have face-planted had she not been sitting in bed, so she sweat-dropped and merely stared at Jaden instead. "Uh... the... Oompa Loompas...?"
"Yeah! They bring chocolate and put it under your bed!" he explained with that anime-chibi look.
She blinked again, though something pricked in the back of her mind. "Jay... Oompa Loompas aren't real... And even if they were, I doubt they'd put chocolate under your bed..."
"But they did! I went to Mindy's room and found chocolate under her bed!" he insisted. Little did he know that it was not a good idea to tell Alexis that little tidbit of information.
For a moment, Alexis was confused. But then the meaning in his words hit her like a ton of bricks, and her eyes widened. "Jay... was it... in a bag...?" she asked slowly. As she spoke, she moved the tray onto the bedside table, steeling herself for his answer.
"Yeah, a big bag. And Jesse and I ate it all!" he answered, not catching the dangerous expression on his fiancée's face.
Alexis gripped the covers as her eyes narrowed harshly. Yes, she knew there was a high possibility that they hadn't known the chocolate was their stash. Yes, they could always get more chocolate. However, neither of these thoughts were in Alexis's mind at the current moment. Only one. JADEN AND JESSE HAD EATEN THEIR CHOCOLATE. Alexis's teeth ground together and her eyes flashed as she threw back the covers. "JADEN!!!" she yelled, tackling her husband-to-be without warning. Given her position, it was likely that she had knocked the wind out of him.
For a second, Jaden couldn't breathe. Finally, he took in a breath and puffed, "Lex? What?"
Alexis had him pinned, and the look on her face would probably make Zane back off in fear for his life. "Jaden!! That chocolate was our emergency-emergency stash!! AND YOU TWO ATE IT ALL!!! We hid it under the bed for a reason! I'm not the only one who's going to be royally ticked off when the other girls find out!!"
Jaden's eyes were wide with terror. "What?! I didn't know," he whimpered, suddenly looking like a frightened puppy.
Alexis's eyes burned and her grip was tight on his shoulders, but the "kicked puppy" look and whimper he gave her made her pause. Her fingers twitched slightly as she mentally debated with herself. Angel Chibi-Alexis reminded her that it was an accident, that Jaden was innocent. Devil Chibi-Alexis reminded her that now they'd have to stock up on chocolate again, and some of it would be hard to replace. Alexis sighed and loosened her grip a little, though her eyes still flashed dangerously. "Jaden," she growled in a low tone.
He looked up at her, fright in his brown eyes and guilt as well. "Babe... I'm sorry... I can try and replace it..."
She frowned, knowing he was truly sorry and that he would try. Jesse would probably feel the same way, seeing as how similar he was to Jaden. Alexis sighed again and pulled away, sitting back on her knees. "You're not getting off that easy, Jay. Not you or Jesse... I'll have to talk to the girls. Hopefully Jesse hasn't gotten the chance to tell them yet..." She knew that it wouldn't be pretty... especially if Rosa was to hear about it.
After Alexis had helped her fiancé to his feet and made sure he was okay, she grabbed her PDA to dial the girls' numbers. However, before she could even punch in the first number, there was pounding on the door. "JAY!!! OPEN UP!!! FAST—AAHH!! DON'T HURT ME!!" shouted Jesse's frightened voice from the other side of the door.
On the other side of the door, the four sources of Jesse's terror stood threateningly. Well, three of them were threatening. One had a potato gun, also known as a pink bazooka. "YOU MESSED WITH OUR CHOCOLATE!" Mindy and Jasmine shouted at the same time, their fingers curved into claws.
Rosa was in full-blown rage mode, looking like an angry bull sharpening its horns for the fight as she cracked her knuckles. "NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!" she added fiercely.
Violet had her bazooka aimed on Jesse, ready to fire. The boy was already spotted with a few that he'd been unable to dodge. "I'VE GOT ENOUGH AMMO TO TURN YOU INTO MASHED POTATOS!!" she yelled, squeezing the trigger. Jesse yelped and ducked, just as the door was thrown open by an unsuspecting Jaden.
The potato flew through the air and Jaden didn't see it. "Guys... He didn't..!" BAM! The russet potato hit the Slifer right between the eyes. With a light gout of blood from his nose, he fell backwards onto the floor, stunned.
"JAY!!" Alexis gasped, running over to crouch beside her fallen fiancé. There was a large red mark where the spud had hit, and blood was dripping from his nose.
Jesse didn't waste any time, quickly running inside the room and diving behind a chair. "Don't let 'em kill me!!" he begged, shaking in fear.
Violet blinked in surprise when she realized her target had hit Jaden, but then scoffed and placed a hand on her hip. "Serves him right for eating our chocolate!"
Mindy and Jasmine seemed calm now that Jaden was down. "Oh boy... He really got KO'd," Mindy murmured, heading to get an in-room first aid kit.
Jasmine moved over to Jesse, a diabolical expression on her face. "Oh, we won't kill you... Not everybody's here yet... Annie can't miss all the fun..."
Jesse quite appropriately squeaked like a frightened mouse and fell over. "I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!" he yelped.
Violet picked up the potato that had hit Jaden and tossed it up and down, smirking. "You won't die. You'll just regret eating our chocolate. We'll make sure of that," she stated. Rosa merely glared at the teal-haired boy, but that was enough to make him nearly pass-out with fright.
Alexis sighed and sweat-dropped. "Guys... Jay told me it was an accident..."
"How could it be an accident?" Jasmine yelped, looking slightly crazy. "AND I NEEDED THE STASH TODAY!"
Alexis knew this was going to be tough. "They didn't know it was ours! Jay said so and he doesn't lie, you know that... And I'm sure Jesse didn't know either-"
"I DIDN'T!!"
"—So we can't hurt them. But I already told Jaden that replacing the chocolate won't be enough... we can talk this through after he gets bandaged up. Okay?"
The girls all reluctantly agreed to this and helped a now-conscious Jaden up off the floor. "Ouch... Violet... what kind of a potato was that?" he asked as he held Kleenex and an ice pack over his nose.
Violet smirked. "A one pound russet potato. Part of the reason you're bleeding is 'cause it hit you at about three-fourths the speed of a bullet." She wasn't a very technical person, but she knew her handmade "toys" like the back of her hand.
"No wonder I have a headache...."

Meanwhile, up on the third floor, Annie Hanson sat up in bed. "They got into our stash," she growled softly, eyes flashing in the anime "evil" fashion. She was usually very calm, but right now… she was very grumpy.
Syrus felt a shiver run down his spine as he sweat-dropped, grinning sheepishly at his currently scary-looking fiancée. "Uh, Annie... maybe it was a... an accident?" he tried. He felt very, very sorry for Jaden and Jesse right now. Not to mention fearing a little for their well-being if the other girls had found out.
"Maybe... but Jaden didn't ask questions... he just gobbled," she growled again.
He shrank a little. "But it is Jaden… That's how he and Jesse work..."
Annie sighed, remembering her husband-to-be was probably right. "Yeah... still, they should realize that there isn't a chocolate fairy and there are no Oompa Loompas... There may be lookalikes when old people come out of spray tan centers, but there are not real Oompa Loompas!"
Syrus couldn't help but laugh a little at the joke. "Well, I'm sure they're sorry... and they probably feel really bad. I bet they'll even try replacing it for you guys!"
"Yeah... They may need payback, though," she said thoughtfully, lifting herself to get out of bed. "I think I need to get down there." But her body was still pretty weak in addition to having a broken foot. "Oh, darn," she groaned as she sank to the floor, unable to grab her crutches.
Syrus quickly wrapped an arm around her and pulled her up, letting her lean on him for support. "Do you want to use the wheelchair Miss Fontaine gave us?" he asked. The nurse had allowed them to borrow a wheelchair until Annie had regained her strength when the girl had returned to school. And then, she had broken her foot last week. The wheelchair was now a necessity for her to get to and from class without wearing herself out.
"I think I'd better," she answered, managing a smile as her love's strong arms held her up. "I'm glad I'm in my warm nightie," she said as they walked to the chair about 6 yards away. She was clad in a pink flannel long nightgown with ruffled edging at the bottom hem, collar and cuffs. "Hon, could you get my slippers," she asked once she was seated in the chair.
"Sure, Annie." He quickly ran and got them, helping her get them on before pushing her out into the hallway. "I just hope the other girls haven't found out about this and hurt them..."
The dark-haired girl winced. "Knowing Violet... injury has already occurred..."
"You mean her potato gun?"
She nodded. "She loves that thing..."
"Well... as long as they're not mortally wounded or anything," he joked, grinning sheepishly.
"I doubt it," Annie laughed with him. The couple headed downstairs and was greeted with the sight of Jaden on the couch, holding an ice bag to his face and Jesse looking at the girls with a lot of fear. "Violet... did you use the potato gun?" Annie asked, folding her arms over her chest and raising an eyebrow.
Violet put on an innocent look and hid said gun behind her back. "Maaaybe," she answered, looking away.
"And did it hit Jaden?" the girl asked, now narrowing her eyes slightly.
The slightly shorter, paler girl sweat-dropped. "Yeeaah... but I was aiming at Jesse!!" She pointed at him to emphasize her point.
"Yeah, but I got hit," Jaden groaned from behind the ice bag.
"Let me see," Annie sighed, getting her crutches from behind the wheelchair where Sy had stowed then. "Sy, I might need a little help to get up..."
Syrus didn't hesitate to help her, making sure she had her balance before letting her go. "You don't think it broke his nose, do you, Annie?" he asked worriedly.
"Hmmm... Jaden, how does it feel?"
"Sore," he groaned.
She clomped over and had a look. "It's not out of place... I think it's okay…" She grinned as she drew back and stated, "He dodged it!"
The room gave a collective sigh of relief. Sure, the girls were mad, but they didn't want one of their friends to have a broken nose over it. Jesse grinned and smacked his twin on the shoulder in a congratulatory way. "Nice, Jay!"
"Ouch! Jess, ease off, man!" the Duel Academy Central boy groaned, laughing. "So... are you guys gonna kill us?" he asked, giving them the beat-up puppy look.
Every girl in the room softened at that look, even Rosa a bit. Jesse looked from Jaden to the girls and back again, making the connection. Well, if they were so alike, then he should be able to do it too, right? Jesse looked Jaden's expression over for a few seconds and then changed his to match, so that they were almost identical. Two beat-up puppies were always more heart-breaking and convincing than one.
"They're doing the puppy eyes!! I can't stand it!!" Mindy squealed.
"Yeah, two of 'em!" Jasmine groaned.
"Now what do we do?" Annie wondered. The girls all exchanged glances with each other. How could they punish these two now?
"Not punish us?" Jaden asked, trying to look desperately cute.
Instantly, every girl in the room turned and sent the Slifer a murderous look. Jesse, though the look wasn't directed at him, squeaked once more like a scared mouse and ducked behind the arm of the couch. "Not punish you?! Of course we're going to punish you!!" Alexis yelled, tugging on Jaden's ear with narrowed eyes and a scowl.
"We just won't beat you. But that doesn't mean the punishment will be any better," Violet added, a sly smirk coming onto her face.
"Jaden... Jesse... we are punishing you... Now what shall we do?" Annie murmured, a diabolical look coming on her face.
"GIRL HUDDLE!!!" Violet shouted. The girls all grouped together, backs to the boys as they whispered amongst themselves.
Jesse stood, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly and sweat-dropping. "Hey, Jay?" he asked nervously.
The Slifer looked around and then at his twin. "Yeah, Jess?"
"I'm scared," the Obelisk whimpered, meeting his friend's eyes.
"Hold me," Jaden said, throwing his arms around the other boy.
Syrus sweat-dropped as he looked at his best friend and best friend's doppelganger, but decided the situation was pretty scary... for them.
Poor Jaden… Poor Jesse… They are in so much trouble. So what will the girls do to them? And what will the guys do because this seems kind of unfair! Find out next time in "Crime, Punishment and Ojamas?" See you then!
