I didn't get to carve my pumpkins yesterday. D8 My mom was being all crabby and such. Maybe today? I hope so. 8D
Oh, and thanks for all the reviews! :'D
Saturday, October 17th. (Countdown: Two weeks.)
"..The nerve! Who does he think he is?!" May had tuned Dawn out as the girl continued to rant on about their little run in with Drew and Paul. May shook her head. "Come on Dawn, why don't you tell me how you really feel." Dawn turned and hid her blush by glaring at May. "Don't even go there, Miss that-vase-of-roses-in-my-room-mean-nothing-to-me." May kept her mouth shut from that point on, until they stumbled across a stand selling pumpkins.
Sending a look at the other, they both rushed to the stand and searched for two pumpkins - The best of the bunch of course.
After five minutes they found the ideal pumpkins for carving, paid the man, and were once again walking back to May's house. "Dawn, you want to stay the night again?" Dawn was currently regretting picking the biggest pumpkin she could find, for she was having trouble keeping a grip on it. "Ah.." Trying to carry the pumpkin in a different position she continued. "I'd love to. Just let me call my mom when we get to your house, okay?" May agreed.
When they got to May's house they walked right into the kitchen placing their pumpkins on the table just as Max walked in. "Can I use your phone now?" May nodded and Dawn walked over to the cordless phone hooked up by the refrigerator. "Aw, May! Why didn't you buy me a pumpkin?" Max complained.
May shook her head as she moved the trash can closer towards the table. "Neither of us could carry another one." The younger boy sighed in disappointment. "Yeah, fine, whatever. Mom and Dad left a bit ago and told me to tell you they'll be be home late tonight." He left the room before he could get a response from his older sister, eager to get back to his book on ghost Pokemon he was reading.
Just as May finished sitting the two pumpkins onto some old newspaper Dawn hung up the phone with a wide grin spread across her face. "Done! She said I could stay the night again, but she wants me home tomorrow afternoon." May squealed, "Great! Ooh, I know. After we carve these pumpkins we could make some Halloween cupcakes." Dawn's eyes sparkled at the thought. Icing, sprinkles, the works.
May had fetched a couple of knives from one of the drawers and handed one to Dawn. "Dawn, have you decided what you're going to carve yet?" She shook her head, her blue hair moving with it. Both girls sat there with concentration etched onto their faces. Dawn suddenly brightened up.
"You know, last year you did a Torchic and I did a Piplup. Why not just carve the traditional Jack-o-lantern face?" May took a second to think about it. "I like it. Let's get started!" The two friends started carving a hole in the top of their pumpkins, scraping off the gunk from the inside of the now lid once separated from the pumpkin.
They grinned at each other and reached their hands into the pumpkin to pull out a couple handfuls of the cold pumpkin guts and seeds, May rolling up her sleeves before doing so. They dropped their handfuls into the trash can and continued this process until they were satisfied it was hollow and began carving.
Two triangles as eyes at the top, a bit lower and centered between the two eyes was an upside down triangle, they then began with the mouths. May's had a kind grin, while Dawn's had the same grin only with two fangs.
"A vampire pumpkin?" May questioned once they stepped back to look at their progress. Dawn nodded obviously happy with her work. May chuckled and teasingly grabbed a jar of glitter from a drawer behind them, throwing a handful of the glitter onto Dawn's pumpkin. "There, much better!" May laughed as Dawn gasped and hit May on the back of the head. They both laughed as May went to get a couple of lights they had to put inside the jack-o-lanterns. Once they did and put the tops back on the pumpkins, they carried them outside.
Setting them both on May's porch, they walked onto the pathway leading to the sidewalk to get a better look, now that it was starting to get dark out. They each beamed with pride until they heard a voice behind them for the second time that day. "Nice pumpkins.. but why is the one on the right sparkling?" The girls turned around and Dawn pointed an accusing finger at the girl next to her. "She threw glitter on it!" May rolled her eyes, then she noticed the bags in the boy's hands.
Raising her eyebrows as she saw the Halloween store's logo on the bags, she decided to ask them. "What's in the bags? I thought you said you weren't going to buy a costume." The boy's faces didn't change as Paul decided to speak up. "Candy. To hand out to the children trick or treating." May didn't quite buy it, as Dawn was trying to ignore the meaning hidden behind Paul's words. "Four shopping bags.. that's alot of candy."
Drew was now the one rolling his eyes. Pulling out a rose, he tossed it the short distance as May caught it out of reflex. Looking up, she saw both boys begin to walk away. "Yeah yeah, it's getting dark. See ya."
May shook her head. "I just don't understand him.." Dawn laughed, amused that her best friend didn't see how obvious it was. "Yeah well, you better go add that rose to your collection." The friends look at each other, one was embarrassed while the other one winked and headed back inside. Left alone outside, May took a moment to look down the street hoping to still see the retreating back of Drew, but she found none. A rush of cold air made May shiver and she followed her friend's lead and ran inside.
A few minutes later, a yell could be heard from inside. "MAX! What do you mean you used up the last of the frosting?!"

Drew and Paul walked into Drew's house, the latter of them closing the door behind them. "Hey, do you mind if I stay here for the night? Reggie is having some friends over tonight, and I don't want to have to deal with them." Drew looked up after he was finished hanging up his jacket and removing his shoes. "Yeah, sure. I'll make up the guest bedroom." Paul nodded.
Drew's house was bigger than his own, but it wasn't ridiculously huge or have maids and servants like his fangirls would suspect. It just had what any other house would have, with the addition of a two extra bathrooms and two extra bedrooms. The boys walked up to Drew's room and laid the bags on the floor. Paul sat on the bed while he waited for Drew to finish preparing his room for the night. Once he was finished he returned.
"You're all set. But first.." Drew walked over to the four bags and dumped out each of the bag's contents. "This is going to be good."
Well. I guess I better finish up the fourth chapter so I have something to post tomorrow, eh? xD *lazy*
