Halloween ch.2

Halloween had finally arrived and everyone was excited. As they waited for Artemis to arrive, they made final adjustments to their costumes. M'gann had morphed into her zombie bride costume, and had started wrapping Connor in toilet paper. Zatanna cast a spell and morphed into a witch. Wally put on some zombie looking make-up. Robin was adjusting his utility belt, and started trying out his customized batarangs.

All of the sudden a whirring noise came from the zeta tube. "Artemis BO 7," said the computer as you could slowly make out a figure forming from particles. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. A gasp escaped M'gann's lips as she saw her costume.

Artemis had let her golden hair flow free. She had curled it and had put a golden leaf crown-resting on her head. She had a white, Greek like dress on. It was a one-sided shoulder dress went down to her kneecaps. A brown, woven belt was wrapped around her waist. Resting on her back was her quiver, which was empty besides two arrows. She had brown, open toe sandals on her feet.

She walked towards them, and they just stared at her. Finally, Zatanna broke the silence, "Artemis as Artemis. So digging it." Artemis laughed and said, "Thanks, I'm surprised you didn't guess what I was going to be before."

Artemis turned to Robin and stifled a laugh. "What! I look totally beast! Don't be hating on Bats," he said as he crossed his arms. She laughed again at his reaction. She then turned to Wally who quickly shut his jaw. "Did you catch a fly?" She asked as Zatanna and M'gann giggled behind her."I was just practicing my zombie look," he said finding an excuse. Artemis rolled her eyes and said, "sureee..."

"Are we ready to head out?" Wally asked eager to get his hands on some candy. Everyone nodded and Wally said, "Ok, we can go to my hometown first. Everyone there knows me and will give us extra candy." Everyone agreed and head into the zeta tube. Wally led them around town, telling them who gives what and who gives more. About an hour later, Wally said that they had hit all the major candy houses and that they should go to Gotham next.

Robin volunteered to lead the way around Gotham since he and batman patrol Gotham a lot at night. The first place Robin took them was to Wayne manor. "I hear he gives out a bucket of candy to each kid who comes up here," Robin said as they rang the doorbell. An elderly man opened the door and said," Let's see, we have a zombie, zombie bride, Batman, a moon goddess, a witch, and a mummy. That's six buckets for all of you. Pardon me for a moment." He left to go get the buckets and Wally was almost jumping out of his costume.

The elderly man returned with six candy buckets. "I hope you kids enjoy and stay safe," the old man said as he shut the door. "Score! I want to give Bruce Wayne a big hug," Wally said grinning ear to ear. After that, robin led then around Gotham for about an hour. After that, they all agreed that they were tired and wanted to head back.

When they got back to the cave, they went to the living room and sat on the couch. They sat there and ate candy. They chatted, told jokes, and told scary stories. Around eleven o' clock people started leaving. "Hey Artemis?" Wally asked Artemis as she headed towards the zeta tube. She turned around and looked at him. "Yeah?" She asked. "You look really beautiful, like a goddess." He said nervously twiddling his thumbs. She smiled and said, "Thanks, you look drop dead ugly, but that's a complement for you zombies. I'll see you tomorrow, and hey, thanks for letting me come." "Thanks, and no problem," he said smiling. Then she entered the zeta tube and disappeared.
