Finally arriving in Colne, Madoka and the gang looked around for a hotel. It did not take them long to find one, after checking in, they went up to their rooms, as their was obviously not enough beds in one room for 5 girls, never mind Kyubey, he is small. The hotel rooms that they were in all had a view of Pendle Hill in the distance. Sayaka and Madoka who both shared a room looked out from the window.

"Well" said Sayaka "This room looks rather bland" She was right, there was not much decoration in the room. "But" replied Madoka "The Hill seems to make it to make it a lot more pretty and less bland. Or does it?" Sayaka glanced out like a hawk.

"Careful" she said "There might be some curses within the hill that are waiting to be let out tomorrow night, probably in direction for Nelson or Burnley..." Madoka just laughed "Whatever curse that hill throws at us" she replied "We will neutralize the threat, but we also need to protect Colne and Clitheroe" Madoka looked at the map. Sayaka's eyes rolled onto Colne Town Hall and St Bartholomew's Church.

Sayaka found a map of the whole of the county of Lancashire. She had a look, to look where Colne, Clitheroe, Barnoldswick, Pendle Hill and where everywhere else was. "Man" she said "Everywhere seems a million miles from Lancaster, if that's what this county was named after" Madoka did not take much notice.

She was instead trying to plan a route to Pendle Hill, starting at the village of Barley, as instructed by the Asian man who gave the map to her. Madoka was following the line that he drew to the hill.

"This could take some time to walk" she said to herself "Hopefully we are fast walkers"

In the next room, Kyoko, Homura and Mami were all wondering what next. "Eh well" said Mami "Believe me, this hill does have a curse that has been there since 1612" "Are you referring to the date of the Pendle Witch Trials?" replied Homura. "Yes" replied Mami. "Why?" asked Kyoko who was the only one who did not know about the legend of the Pendle Witches well.

Mami explained about it "It was in 1612 when a group of local ladies where accused of Witchcraft in one of England's biggest Witch Trials, in those days, Witchcraft was punishable by death, there was 12 of them put on trial on Pendle Hill, and two others in Lancaster and another in York, they were all found guilty of Witchcraft and executed by hanging...however, local legend notes of the curse that has possibly been left behind by the Witches, and some of you think that might have been the cause of my death two years ago"

"Blergh" replied Homura "Me and Sayaka were here two years ago shortly before you got eaten, so I think that is why we blame the curse of Pendle Hill for you death, but, I am not going to let it curse me at all!" Homura gave off a snarl at the hill. "Bloody Witchcraft..."

Kyoko gave a stunned look. "Okay" she replied "Well, I will not let that hill curse me" Then Madoka and Sayaka came around and called them down to the lounge.


In the Lounge, Madoka told everyone that they were going to trek up Pendle Hill. But they also made plans for the Halloween Party. "Well" said Mami "We could dress up as the Witches?" "Hehehe, that sounds fitting" replied Sayaka. "Not such a good idea for me" replied Homura.

"Well" replied Madoka "I think, we'll dress up a Witches up on the hill tomorrow" Homura gave in "Yes, okay, but why not candies for the kiddies?" "That was part of the idea" replied Madoka and she presented some Jack O Lantern shaped Candy Buckets. "Well, we will give them kids some treats, but we can trick them as well!" she giggled "There is no doubt kids who are Trick or Treating on the hill!"

Kyoko sniggered. "That was what I was thinking" replied Mami "We need to think of what tricks to play on the kids, but not turn them into Witches by accident"

"Well well well" replied Sayaka "I just had an idea of tricks for the kids if I decide to give them a trick, the idea came from one of them spinning things for board games. Ideally, 6 tricks, the first idea of a trick I came up with is that they would have do the thriller dance!" Sayaka got up and did the thriller dance in front of everyone. "Yes we get the idea" grumbled Homura.

"Well, for the next trick...umm" replied Madoka "They would be hypnotized, I was thinking of oyur grandfather's watch Sayaka" "Oh yeas!" replied Sayaka "I've got it with me, but I can pass it round when it comes to the hypnosis trick"

"The kids are supposed to play the tricks" replied Homura "Not us" "This is my Halloween party Homura-Chan!" protested Madoka "I am sorting this out!" Homura turned her eyes to the window.

"Now here is a good trick" said Mami "The dare to drink the poison, it would actually be some fizzy apple drink, not poison, but will the kids be fooled into thinking it is actual poison?" "Hahahahah good one Mami-San!" laughed Madoka and Sayaka.

"Yeah yeah yeah!" giggled Kyoko "I have got one! A bucket of Rats! When we throw the rats on them, they have to pick up the rats and put them back in the bucket! Obviously, they will be toy rats or something like that!" They all just laughed. Homura growled quietly. "Fine" she said "I have an idea for a trick for them kids" "What is it Homura Chan?" asked Madoka.

"Well, the idea is" replied Homura "If we could get a sheet, we would turned the kid into a ghost and then he/she has to scare his or her friends before we take the sheet off them" "That is a magnificent Idea!" replied the others. Kyubey had an idea "Well, this is one, they will be chased by the evil skeleton, until they are fast enough and get out of sight or the Skeleton eats them if they are too slow!" "Well that was awesome Kyubey" replied Madoka "Hahahahahaha! This is quite some shopping we will be doing tomorrow." Madoka then got up. "Come on guys, lets go and hit that hill!" Then she led them on to Pendle Hill.


Then as they reached Barley, Homura was already exhausted "Jesus Christ" she groaned "How much longer is it gonna take to reach this hill without any means of transport?" Madoka looked at Homura. "Well the hotel manager had offered to give us a lift to Barley from Colne tomorrow" replied Madoka. "But then we'll have to carry everything, up Pendle Hill, and his colleague will be also helping as there won't be enough room for us all in one car" "Alright" Homura replied "Lets get up that damn hill"

They then reached the top of the hill. "Finally" grumbled Sayaka "We are at the top of the god damn thing" "Wow" chirped Mami looking at the view from the top. "You can really see for miles" "That is just wonderful" giggled Madoka "Now this seems to be the place where we will be setting up our party!" "Those kids will have some climbing to do!" replied Homura "But those sweets from Trick or Treating will probably fuel them up here, or something..."

Madoka just laughed. "Then maybe it will be tricks for everyone! Hahahahahaha!" She nearly fell down crying because of how hard she was laughing. "Nah" replied Sayaka "They deserve some treats really Madoka! After all they did climb this hill!" "Alright" chuckled Madoka. "That is that settled then, seems like there is some good places where we can put the tables" Meanwhile, Sayaka did a bit of rehearsing facing in the direction of Clitheroe.

"Alright" she said to a imaginary child "I am feeling generous, here you go have some sweets" and she gave some imaginary sweets to the imaginary child. Then the next imaginary child came.

"Umm...Trick or Treat...badadadadadada...My spinner lands on trick!" she said and she pretended to get her spinner out and flicked it. "It has landed on, Thriller! You know what to do!" she said to the pretend child and then played a Thriller ring tone on her phone. "Come on, Dance!" she said to the imaginary child and danced to the thriller as well.

Then the next imaginary child came. "Ok..." giggled Sayaka to the imaginary child "Trick...or...treat..." she then clicked her finger "Ok, Treat" and she took out some imaginary sweets and gave it to the child. "Enjoy" she said "And...Happy Halloween, share the joy!" "What are you doing?" asked Homura "Well" replied Sayaka impertinently "I'm just rehearsin' for our Halloween Party, so whatever the outcome is, I am always well prepared for the event, duh..." Homura turned away "She off her trolley" she mumbled under her breath.

Sayaka carried on her roleplay. "Okay" she said to another imaginary child "What will it be this time? Ah...trick!" She spun the pretend spinner and it gave it's result. "Hypnosis! Hahahaha!" laughed Sayaka and got her grandfather's watch out in front of the imaginary child's face and she swung it back and forth. Then she stopped and put it back "Hahahaha" she giggled "That was fun!"

Then came the next imaginary child. "Right..." said Sayaka "What should I do this time...ok...treat" and she gave the imaginary child a treat.

Then came the next imaginary child "Now then..." said Sayaka and twiddled her fingers..."Sorry if you were wanting some candy, but I have a trick up my sleeve!" She spun the imaginary spinner and it came at it's result. "Poison?" said Sayaka "Ok...Do you dare to drink the poison?"

She presented the imaginary bottle at the imaginary kid "Do you dare to drink this?" she asked. This time, the imaginary kid was too scared to drink the poison "Okay" replied Sayaka. "Next"

The next imaginary kid came but Sayaka gave that one a treat, and also the next one.

Then the next imaginary child came. "Ok..." giggled Sayaka "I am feeling...rather tricky...so it's a trick!" and then she spun the imaginary spinner and it landed on the poison. Sayaka chuckled and presented the imaginary poison bottle to the imaginary child.

"Do you dare to drink this poison?" she asked "Do you?" The imaginary kid did dare to drink the poison, and instead, tasted the fizzy apple drink. "Hahahah!" giggled Sayaka "It won't kill you! Next!"

The next imaginary kid came. "Okay" said Sayaka "I think...I think...you have done your homework for School, so for that, you deserve a treat" Then the next imaginary kid came. Madoka was watching it all.

"Right" said Sayaka "You're Mum tells me you've not been doing your homework and getting your sister to do it instead, so for that, punishment time!" and she got the imaginary spinner out and then spun it. "Oh my oh my!" she said "A bucket of Rats! You need to pick them up!"
She then threw the imaginary bucket at rats at the imaginary child and waited. "Come on" she said "I don't have all day, pick them rats up, that's right!" She gave a chuckle and soon the imaginary kid had picked up all the rats and handed the bucket back to Sayaka.

The next imaginary kid came. "I am such a kind girl" said Sayaka "So you can have some treats"

The next imaginary kid came. "Hehehehehehe" she giggled "No more Miss Nice Girl for you naughty boy! Mr Skeleton is chasing after you!" and she chased the imaginary kid with the imaginary Skeleton. Madoka and Mami laughed. It was all so entertaining. "Our ideas seem to be good!"

Sayaka got back into her place and gave the next imaginary kid a treat as she thought he had done all his work at School and had been the star pupil of the week.

"Okay" she said to the next Imaginary child "Unfortunately, you've not been as good as your brother, and even though I am not Santa Claus, I am not going to be kind here, so it's a trick!" and then she spun the imaginary spinner and it landed on.

"Ghost!" she laughed and then she put the imaginary sheet over the imaginary kid's head. "GO AND HAUNT YOUR FRIENDS!" The imaginary kid went out haunting all of it's friends. "Okay" replied Sayaka "I think that is enough haunting, everyone is scared and they might be running down the hill to find the nearest toilet if you are not careful" and she then took the sheet off the imaginary child. "There" she said "Now that is me fully rehearsed!" Then she clicked her finger.

"That was awesome!" chuckled Madoka "That is the best rehearsal I've ever seen of anything!" Homura had to give off a small chuckle. "How did you know the kids had been naughty oat School?" asked Mami "Uh well" replied Sayaka "I dunno...they may have had the looks of it on their little faces!" "Well that was a great performance!" giggled Kyoko "This will be awesome!" "But don't eat all the sweets mind!" replied Sayaka impertinently "You can have the left overs when the party is over" "Sounds a good idea" replied Kyoko.

"Well well well!" laughed Madoka "Are we all sorted out?" "I think we are" replied Homura "Madoka-san, do not forget your shopping list tomorrow" "I won't!" replied Madoka "I won't forget to remind you that we will all be Puella Magas at the party!" "I was expecting that" replied Kyoko. "I don't really see why not" She turned to Sayaka and said "I hope you're a better Puella Maga, not like the first time I saw you" "Oh oh don't worry" replied Sayaka "I am all fully Puella Maga Magnificent!" Sayaka laughed heartily. "Though I am really surprised how much you eat, and you don't end up vomiting half it out and gaining weight"

"Don't mention it" replied Kyoko "But I am still quite fit and well"

"Okay" replied Sayaka "Now what we gotta do is get down this hill and back to Colne for the night, as the sun is starting to set"

"Lets get a move on" said Homura starting to walk down the hill "We do not want to get lost in the dark, and I am pretty worried that we might if we don't get a move on from here"

"Yes" replied Madoka "Come on everybody, back to the hotel!" and they began to walk down the hill all the way back to Colne.

Author's notes:

The tricks were somewhat tricky to come up with, especially Kyubey's suggestion, but the first idea for the trick was Sayaka's thriller suggestion, that was based on the Thriller, and the Thriller Taunt on Team Fortress 2, and also when Merasmus forces you to dance at Ghost Fort.

How long does it take to go from Colne to Pendle Hill, according to Google, 3 hrs and 14 minutes, I think it is a lot less than that.
