"Ha ha, Scott." Carly says sarcastically as Scott tried to sneak up on her with a fake knife and an alien novelty hand, Carly rubbing her 6 ½ month pregnant stomach as Sachi kicked.
"Jake, the plan didn't work!" Scott says as Jake walked into the house, followed by Nicole and Skye.
"Goddamn it!" Jake yells.
"Hey, no swearing!" Carly says.
"Tiny, Sachi will start swearing no matter who she hears it from." Jake says as Ashley and Sam walked in, dressed in skeleton costumes, Jake hiding behind the couch.
"Ash, what happened to dressing up as Harley Quinn?" Scott asks.
"I changed my mind about that one." Ashley says.
"Oh okay. I better get going, need to do my makeup." Scott says.
"Wait, what are dressing up as?" Carly asks.
"Jeff the killer." Scott says.
"Good luck with that one, at least you ain't dressing up like a creepy clown." Carly says as Johnny walks in with a Jack-o-lantern.
"Trust me tiny, I'm going to look super creepy." Scott says as Paul walked in dressed as Balloon Boy.
"Hello. Would you like a balloon?" Paul asks.
"Maybe we can fill some up with fake blood and throw them at Trevor's caravan." Johnny says.
"I got this one for him, it's extra safe." Paul says, holding a blown up condom.
"As much as I like Halloween, it brings out the crazies in this town." Carly says, Paul nodding in agreement.
10/31/11, Paul's P.O.V
"Look over there." Trent says, pointing out a tiny girl dressed in a werewolf costume… that makes her look much older but girls do tend to dress scantily on Halloween and get away with it.
"Why would you want to scam someone on Halloween night?" I ask.
"Because it what we do best." Trent says.
"Alright, let's do this." I say.
Trent and I walked across the street, approaching the girl who couldn't have been any older than 14.
"Can I help you?" She asks.
"Trick or treat." Trent says. "Or die." He says, holding up a bloody knife.
"Nice try, assholes!" She says after pulling out an SNS pistol and aiming it at us… oh, shit! She's gonna kill us!
"I'm out! Defend yourself buddy!" Trent says before running off.
"You son of a bitch!" I yell, the girl lowering her gun.
"Oh no, no one's going anywhere." I hear… before feeling a small impact in my neck, falling down to the ground as my legs stop obeying me. "How's this for trick or treat?" I hear… it's a girl's voice, before it all goes black…
When I woke up, I was tied up in a chair in a dark room, Trent in the same condition across from me, also awake.
"Now look what kind of mess you've gotten us into!" I say.
"What do you mean, what kind of-" Trent starts to say… before someone stands between us, bending down.
"Ho ho ho, bitches." The girl says, dressed in all black, including a black wool mask, apart from a multi coloured clown wig on her head.
"What the hell are you doing, kid?!" I say.
"It's the early Santa Clause, bitch. You… buy my mixtape." The girl says… wait… what?!
"Is this some kind of joke, kid?! Because this is too far!" Trent says.
"Oh no, this ain't no joke, boys." The girl says, removing her wig and mask… and I know I've seen her somewhere before… on the… oh good god no!
"You're… Colour Wheel!" Trent says, about as shocked as I am.
"Let me go! I had nothing to do with this!" I yell.
"One point, buddy. And the both of you ran up on that girl, and Halloween is the one time I turn my efforts around from killing to peace keeping… so, welcome to my Halloween house. I'm gonna leave the room now, and in 10 minutes, your arms and legs are gonna be released… and then you've got 15 minutes to get out of this house before you drown. And the reason it's 15 minutes…" The girl says before clicking her fingers, water starting to gush in from the air vents. "Because that's not 15 until it starts, that's 15 until it's full and you've got no air left… start counting, pals." She says before, as she said, leaving as I feel water starting to soak into my shoes, and it's nothing more than freezing water either.
"Well I think I woke up in a fucking Saw movie. Thank you Trent!" I say, yelling the last part.
"Hey, I just wanted to scam the little werewolf… oh, you don't think Colour Wheel kidnapped her too, do you?!" Trent says
"Right now all I give a fuck about is getting out alive!" I say angrily.
"Well… after we do, you want to-" Trent starts to say.
"Don't you dare ask about another scam attempt! This has to be the point where it goes way too far, we're gonna drown in 15 minutes, that's not before I'd say we'll probably freeze to death in 10 with how cold this water is! This is where a line has to be drawn, bold and in thick charcoal!" I say, starting to shiver a bit from the water rising… moments afterwards, however, somehow the ropes around our ankles and wrists untie on their own.
"Let's find a damn way out of here!" Trent says, grabbing me and taking both of us out of there.
Present time…
"She really got you good, didn't she boys?" Carly says after Trent had walked into the house.
"Shut up." Trent says.
"We got out and looked back at the house, there were rivets and rubber all around the windows, that old mansion was really a big drowning box!" Paul says.
"She… don't attack me after I say this… Nicole told me the day after that you guys were never really in any danger. There were vents under the carpets on the floor." Carly says.
"Are you fucking shitting me?! I nearly froze to death that night!" Paul yells.
"It's my own method of sophisticated torture, usually." Nicole says after walking in. "I can control the speed of the water, the temperature of the water, everything. I could've killed the both of you in there, made that water flow in in under 2 minutes rather than 15, made it below freezing too… but that wasn't my intention. I kept it at a temperature where it wouldn't have made your blood cold, just your skin, and if you hadn't found your way out, I would've stopped the water at the last second and the next thing you would've remembered would've been waking up with your faces in trash bags on the LS dump." She says.
"We thought you were gonna kill us if tiny didn't!" Trent says, Carly grunting and rubbing her stomach as Sachi cracked a rib.
"I would've, actually… because of the thing with the knife, just think yourselves lucky that you didn't enter room 12. If you had, the door would've locked behind you… then knives on robot arms would've started quickly moving out to the middle of the room, gradually increasing in how many of the 300 moved out at once." Nicole says.
"Well, if it had been Tommy, you probably would've killed him at the time. Now you see him as an older brother." Carly says.
"I guess… doesn't mean I wouldn't give him a touch of frost, mind you, I've got environmental controls in there too. I can simulate anything from a summer heat wave in Vice City to the 3 month winter in the Arctic." Nicole says.
"Answer me one thing… how long did it take you to build this thing?" Trent says.
"The house, was already there. As big as it is, it hasn't been lived in since the last family strangely just upped and left in 1976… so I got the house itself for just $250, environmental and water control stuff took nearly a year to install and perfect." Nicole says.
"How the hell did you do it with all your assignments and contracts?!" Trent asks.
"The contracts are the reason it took that long… without them, I could've probably got it done in half that time." Nicole says.
"Well maybe one Halloween when Sachi's old enough to understand it, we can show the house to her." Carly says.
"Yeah… maybe see if she can beat 7 minutes to get out too." Trent says.
"7 minutes? No wonder you guys weren't too pleased when you showed up at my house the next day." Carly says.
"Damn right, that place is huge, it's a damn maze in there!" Paul says.
"The designs were… actually drawn by an officially insane person in 1876, apparently all the winding corridors, stairs that lead to nowhere and all that would confuse the rageful spirits that were following him… then in 1882, a builder saw it as some kind of 3D art rather than a maze for ghosts, and by 1902, there the thing stood… if all the corridors were in a straight line, it'd go from Paleto Bay to the truck stop and halfway back." Nicole says.
Carly was about to respond when lightning struck outside, making everyone jump out of their skin.
"Weird, not a cloud in the sky." Carly says.
"I wonder if they're confused in that house of yours-" Trent starts to say.
"Tell me how I know those exact words were gonna come out of your mouth." Nicole says.
Sam stood up and walked to the glass doors, seeing a special effects box and Tommy near it.
"Hey, why not come and say hello, Tomboy?" Sam says loudly so the others could hear.
"Thomas Mikaelson LaFort, are you trying to give us heart attacks?!" Carly says angrily as Tommy walked in.
"Damn, tiny's mad!" Tommy says.
"Yeah I am! And what the hell are you meant to be?!" Carly says looking at the costume and makeup Tommy had on.
"A drag version of Marie Antoinette with her throat slit open. Got the idea from a YouTube guy called Pinkstylist." Tommy says.
"Good luck with that one, Tommy." Lex says.
"Don't need luck my friend." Tommy says.
"I think he means good luck on not getting beaten to death. There are still some people with old fashioned values in this state." Jake says.
"Aw come on. I spent ages on this." Tommy says.
"Carly, what about your costume?" Lex asks.
"What I want to know is who dared you to pick it out for me." Carly says, remembering that Lex had bought a goblin costume for her. Lex and Jake looked at Tommy, Carly narrowing her eyes at Tommy.
"Tommy… fess up, man." Jake says.
"Aw, go try it on, tiny." Tommy says.
"Yeah come on tiny." Lex says.
Carly and Johnny stood up and walked into the master bedroom, Carly getting the costume out of the closet.
"Those two are gonna be the death of me one day." Carly mutters, Johnny wrapping his arms around her waist and lightly rubbing Carly's stomach, Carly grimacing as Sachi kicked her in her ribs again.
"A little trick or treating won't hurt… let's have some good ol fashioned fun, darlin." Johnny says before they kiss.
After a few minutes, Carly and Johnny returned to the living room, Carly dressed in her goblin costume as Hayley, dressed as a vampire, walked into the house.
"Hey, where's Lamar?" Carly asks.
"I'm not sure." Hayley says as Scott walked back into the house.
"Shh, go to sleep." Scott says, holding a bloody knife up.
Carly grabbed the taser and shot it at Scott, who screamed as the taser wires hit him below the belt and jolted for a few seconds until the knife fell and Carly stopped, Scott trying to catch his breath.
"What the hell tiny? That's what Jeff says." Scott says.
"I just… freaked out a bit when I saw the knife." Carly says, putting the taser down. Scott put the knife down and walked over, pulling Carly into a hug as Johnny put the taser in his jeans pocket.
"Sorry tiny, I was just joking around. What do you think of my smile?" Scott says, pointing to the long, bloody smile he had painted on.
"Perfect for Halloween… hey, do you still have any of that fake blood left?" Carly says as they let go, Carly whispering her plan to him.
A while later…
Trevor jumped back as he heard something hit the side of his caravan, ran outside and saw the pieces of balloon on the ground and fake blood on the caravan wall. He heard a noise, turned and saw a glimpse of Carly in her goblin costume hidden behind a fence.
"He's headed this way, jump him, you two!" Carly says into her headset to Scott and Johnny, both tackling Trevor to the ground.
"Hello Trevor." Scott says.
"Fuck you three! I'm sick of things being thrown at my home on Halloween!" Trevor yells.
"Okay fine. How about a little nap then?" Scott asks.
"Whatcha gonna do, put me in a headlock?!" Trevor yells, unaware that Jackson, Annie, Packie and Midnight saw and heard everything.
"You shouldn't swear around kids Trevor." Midnight says.
"Why would he care what he does around kids?!" Jackson says.
"That is true. Do you guys want a really good scare?" Scott asks.
"Scott, I don't want the kids to be having nightmares for weeks." Midnight says.
"Scare? What kind of scare?" Jackson asks.
"Are you sure kiddo?" Scott asks.
"Yeah." Jackson says.
"Go to the LS Hunterz clubhouse, they're turned it into a haunted house." Scott says.
"Can we go Mom? Pretty please?" Jackson asks.
"I don't Jackson, I'm worried about you and Annie having nightmares from this." Midnight says.
"Please?" Jackson asks, Midnight sighing.
"Mom I don't want to do this." Annie says.
"You don't have to sweetie, Daddy and Jackson will go together, only if they want to." Midnight says.
"Yeah I'll be alright to take Jackson." Packie says, Jackson cheering.
When Midnight, Annie, Carly and Johnny ended up at Midnight and Packie's house, Carly decided to sit down and try to relax but from the look on Carly's face, Johnny could tell that Sachi wasn't making it easy.
"She's giving you a hard time, isn't she, darlin?" Johnny says, resting his hands on Carly's stomach.
"Little ones usually do." Carly says, the two kissing as Annie walked back downstairs after Midnight helped her change out of her Batgirl costume and into her pajamas.
"Speaking of little ones, Annie do you want to show them what your little brother or sister looks like?" Midnight says, Annie picking a sonogram of a 10 week baby and handing it to Carly.
"Aww… I bet it's a boy." Carly says as Annie rested her hand on Carly's stomach, flinching a bit as Sachi's kicking made Annie's hand hurt.
"Does that… hurt you when she does that?" Annie asks.
"Sometimes… Sachi's daytime is our nighttime, she's usually quiet during the day." Carly says, handing the sonogram picture to Midnight. "You and Packie ready for baby #3?" She asks.
"Yeah and we're planning to not have anymore after #3." Midnight says.
"Carly and I want ours close in age so the second one might be born in about two years from now." Johnny says.
"How many do you two want?" Annie asks.
"Four… after that, it might be a while before a fifth one." Carly says.
"I hope that this one is going to be a girl then she and I can play dolls together." Annie says.
"Not all girls are alike, kiddo… I didn't play with dolls." Midnight says.
"You didn't?" Annie asks.
"I was mostly a tomboy… and more like a second mom to your uncles when I got older." Midnight says.
"Did they cause trouble like Trevor does nowadays?" Annie asks.
"Yeah a bit." Midnight says.
The next morning…
Carly stretched her arms over her head as she opened her eyes, Johnny opening the door and letting Paul and Trent in.
"Where's your tooth, Trent? And why are you and Paul scraped up?" Johnny asks, noticing Trent's gold tooth was gone after closing the door.
"I took it out for last night and some people didn't like being scared in the haunted house." Trent says.
"I've told you not to jump out at them, yelling "Trick or treat or die!". So who ganged up on you two? Ballas, Vagos or Aztecas?" Carly says as Paul climbed up onto the bed.
"Just a bunch of random people, that decided to get drunk in a haunted house. I was dressed up as Michael Myers and they didn't like that much." Trent says. "There's a life lesson kiddo. Don't dress up as Michael Myers and scare people in haunted houses." He says, lightly placing a hand onto Carly's stomach.
"Trust me, she won't…" Carly says as Sachi kicked while asleep, Trent placing his right ear near Carly's stomach and hearing Sachi snoring lightly.
"Cutie." Trent says.
"Yeah, she is. She was moving her fingers around during one of the checkups." Carly says.
"That's really cute." Trent says.
"It is… she's gonna break a lot of hearts when she's older." Johnny says, him and Carly kissing.
"Yeah she sure is." Trent says, as they heard Lex scream from the kitchen.
"Lex?!" Carly called out.
"I'm good tiny. Just fell out of the cupboard, that all." Lex says.
"I've got him." Johnny says, going into the kitchen to help Lex up before grabbing the frying pan, some pancake mix and a box of blueberries.
"Oh, thank god, I thought you were going to hit me with that for a second." Lex says.
"It's not the first time a frying pan has been used as a weapon… one of my friends got the better of me when I tried to scare her one Halloween night." Johnny says, thinking back.
10/31/92, Johnny's P.O.V
"Rawrr!" I scream when I'm close enough to Gionna, who responds by crash tackling me and then starting to slam her fists into my head!
"Get out of here, you damn monster!" Gionna yells, me thankful that the werewolf mask is thick enough to protect my head from her tiny fists… and then I feel something heavy slammed into my head repeatedly.
"Help! Get her off me!" I yell after hearing footsteps and feel Gionna being pulled off of me, taking the mask off and seeing Midnight restraining her… but Gionna has a frying pan in her hands!
"Johnny?" Gionna says, heavily out of breath. "I… I'm so sorry." She says as I stand up, resetting my broken nose.
Present time…
"A tiny 12 year old beat you senseless with a frying pan?!" Lex says in disbelief before laughing a little. "I shouldn't laugh but that is a bit funny." He says.
"She was small but Midnight taught her how to fight… and rather small for a 12 year old, Gionna had been born prematurely by about 2 months." Johnny says, Lex looking at him in slight shock.
"What is it about being born prematurely?" Paul asks.
"Gionna was rather small for a long time… she... stopped growing for a bit after being attacked." Johnny says, showing Paul a picture of a younger Gionna, Paul noticing the scar that ran down the left side of Gionna's neck.
"What happened there?" Paul asks.
"Someone… decided to try to take her innocence… didn't exactly work the way he intended because…" Johnny says, Paul putting it together as Carly walked into the living room.
"When someone decides to traumatize someone that young and scar them for the rest of their life, they deserve to be bashed to death." Carly says.
"Yeah they do." Paul says.
"Alright, let's change the subject. What kind of party should we plan for Thanksgiving?" Johnny says, setting the cooked pancakes on a plate for Carly, who kissed him before beginning to eat her breakfast.
"One where it won't end with a food fight at the clubhouse like last year." Lex says.
"Hey, Niko started that one!" Paul says.
"Well I don't care, someone slingshot a chicken bone into my back." Lex says.
"That one… might've been tiny." Tommy says after waking up.
"Why can't you keep your mouth shut, Tommy?!" Carly says after she finished eating, Tommy noticing the scent of peppermint herbal tea.
"Don't let Scott smell that." Tommy says.
"Scott's passed out in Mrs. Anderson's yard, Tommy." Carly says, Tommy waking up completely as he knew Mrs. Anderson was senile.
"You know what? Who cares? I want to see Scott get chased." Tommy says.
"HELP ME!" Everyone heard Scott scream and ran outside, seeing Mrs. Anderson chasing Scott with a broom,Tommy taking his phone out and starting to film it.
"You put that online, you know he'll set your eyebrows on fire!" Trent says.
"Nah, I'm going to post it online for his bday." Tommy says.
Carly gripped the side of the table and nearly doubled over in pain, Johnny helping her sit down as Scott jumped the fence and ran inside, waking Clint up, having seen the distressed look on Carly's face.
"Aw, damn it Scott! What now?!" Clint says.
"Tiny doubled over in pain!" Scott yells, Clint waking up completely and running outside with Scott.
"False alarm, boys." Carly says, lightly rubbing her stomach as a now awake Sachi kicked.
"Oh thank god. Don't want her to be born too early tiny." Scott says.
"Me either… so how'd you end up in Mrs. Anderson's yard?" Carly says.
"I thought it was your yard." Scott says.
"Halloween brings out the craziness in us." Carly says, Scott resting his hand on Carly's stomach and flinching slightly as Sachi's kicking hurt his hand a bit.
"I think she could be a runner when she gets older." Scott says.
"She might be. She might also get into martial arts, that's what Tommy said yesterday." Carly says before looking at Clint. "Have you and Ash talked about kids, Clint?" She asks.
"Yeah we have. After New Year Eve, we're going to start trying. I guess you can say we just one more New Year where we all get piss drunk as Scott's farm." Clint says.
"Something tells me Sachi might be born at that party." Tommy says, Jake lightly slapping him upside the head.
"She better not or she will have 15 very drunk people at her birth." Jake says.
"Which means some of us have to try to stay sober." Johnny says, him and Carly kissing as Scott, being a bit bored, snuck up on Diamond and threw her into the pool.
"Scott!" Diamond snaps, Lex grabbing onto Scott.
"Help me tiny!" Scott yells.
"Scott, I'm nearly 7 months pregnant, you want me getting tossed in the pool?!" Carly says. Lex picking Scott up and throwing him into the pool.
"Lex!" Scott yells.
"Better you than tiny and baby Sachi!" Lex says, Scott wiping a bit of his makeup onto his hand.
Carly and Johnny went back into the house, sitting down on the couch.
"Watching those two, it's like watching children play rough with each other." Carly says, Johnny's left arm around her shoulders and his right hand on her stomach as Sachi settled back into sleep.
