Sitting in the Pumpkin Patch With My Sweet Baboo

by iloveromance

A whole year has passed since Sally spent Halloween in the pumpkin patch with Linus, waiting for the Great Pumpkin. This year, she's determined to make up for missing out on the Halloween party and trick-or-treating. But somewhere along the way, she realizes there is something more important... or rather, someone. A follow up to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

2. Chapter 2

Halloween preparations were in full swing. Everywhere she looked, there were Halloween decorations. Even Snoopy got into the act, prancing around his dog house, dressed as the World War I Flying Ace. Where on earth did he get that costume anyway?

At the bus stop and at school, kids were chatting excitedly about going trick or treating and then to Violet's Halloween party. The one, they assured her, was going to be even bigger and better than last year's. When her brother told her that she was invited, Sally jumped up and down and clapped her hands, unable to stand her excitement.

"Oh boy, oh boy, really?"

"Sure Sally. And you can dress in any costume you want!"

"Can I be a cat? Or a princess? Or even-."

"You can be anything on Halloween!" Lucy pointed out, in true Lucy fashion.

"So I get to come to the party and go trick or treating?"

"Sure Sally." Her brother replied. "I'll even help you since this will be your first time trick or treating and going to the Halloween party.

"Help, shmelp!" Lucy said. "It's easy! All you gotta do is walk up to the door, ring the doorbell and say tricks or treats!"

Sally's eyes winded. "Are you sure it's legal?"

"Of course it's legal!"

She jumped up and down and clapped her hands. She could hardly wait till Halloween.
