Part Two
Chucky tilted his head back and let out his trademark sinister laugh. "Chucky!" Tiffany scolded with a gasp of astonishment before slapping him upside his head. "You cut that out right now do you hear me!? You're scaring poor Mary to death!" she exclaimed as Chucky caught a glimpse of Mary running back towards her house. "Oops." He said to himself. "You promised her that you wouldn't try to scare her!" Tiffany yelled. "Well for your information I kept my promise." He told her. "I didn't try to scare her, it just happened." He explained.
"Well I think you owe her an apology right now!" Tiffany snapped as he took a deep breath and sighed. "It kills me to say this, I mean it fuckin kills me, but you're right. I'll be right back." He told her before he got up as Mary slammed the front door and rushed upstairs into her room. "Mary wait!" Chucky called as he ran inside after her. "We need to talk about this!" he cried as he ran up the stairs two at a time. "Go away!" she yelled before she slammed the bedroom door behind her.
Chucky took another deep breath. "Mary listen, I know you're mad at me but I really need to talk to you." He told her when suddenly she opened the door. "About what? About how you broke your promise to me?" she questioned angrily. "Look I'm sorry alright? When you've spent decades of being one mean scary son of a bitch it ain't easy to change." He told her with a shake of his of head. "Now come on, give me a second chance would ya?" he asked her.
"Why should I!?" she snapped. "Because I'm your best friend." He pointed out. "Alright fine, I will on one condition." She began before she touched him on the shoulder. "Tag, you're it." She said with a grin and giggled before she quickly rushed out of the room and down the stairs. "Damn it! I'm gonna get you Mary!" he exclaimed as he started to run after her. She continued her fit of giggles as he chased her outside laughing along with her before the two tripped inside the dirt and fell over each other laughing even harder now.
"Man, I can't remember the last time I laughed like that. I mean the good kind." Chucky said. "I take it that you two have made up then." Tiffany said with a grin. "Yep, we're friends to the end." Mary said happily. "Good, and now it's bedtime." She told her. "Aww man!" Mary whined. "You're such a party pooper." Chucky said as the two of them slowly started to stand up and walk towards their tent. "Alright kid climb in." Chucky told her once they had gotten inside and had their pajamas on.
"Alright, but could you please leave the light on?" she asked him. "Sure kid, I'll leave it right here." Chucky said placing the lantern that he was holding down beside her before he bent down and tenderly kissed her forehead. "Now get some sleep." He told her softly as he smiled down at her warmly and gazed at her lovingly as she rolled over and let out a loud yawn before slowly closing her eyes. Then Chucky climbed inside his own sleeping bag beside her and went to sleep.

The next week had flown by as fast as a blink of an eye, before she knew it Mary was having her Halloween party at school. She was dressed up as a witch that year. Chucky and Tiffany were going to her party with her, but Glen had to work. "Come with me if you want to party." Chucky said in his best Dracula voice once Mary had stepped outside on the bottom step. Mary giggled as Chucky raised his cape and grinned at her with his fangs while wrinkling his eyebrows.
Then they all got inside the car and he drove them to her school. After the party, there came lots of talk about what they were going to do for the weekend besides trick-or-treating. "The Wooley Swamp still sounds like a fun idea." Glen said as they were seated down for dinner. "No! I don't want to go there! That's where Lucius Clay is!" Mary cried. "Hold on son, let me talk to her for a moment alright?" Chucky said before leading her away from the table and shaking his head at her as he spoke.
"Listen kid, I know I've said this before, but there is no such thing as Lucius Clay. He doesn't exist, it's just a legend that people tell around the campfire to scare the shit out of each other." He told her as she grabbed him tightly and embraced him. "Well it worked, because I'm scared." She said. "Aww come on, a big kid like you?" Chucky asked as he wrapped a loving arm around her and kissed the top of her head. "Need I remind you that your friends with me, and if you're not scared of me then you shouldn't be afraid of anything." He told her.
"Aren't you afraid of anything?" she asked she looked up at him. "Of course not!" he cried shaking his head again. "I don't get scared, I cause the scaring!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry, it was just a question." She said. "Listen kid, even if you are afraid of something you shouldn't let that stop you, because if people know that you're scared they could use that against you. Do you understand?" he asked as she shrugged. "I guess so." She told him. "Good, then you better start packing for this weekend, I guarantee that you're going to love it." He told her as he kissed her again.
