The siblings stood listening to the cheers hand in hand. The creatures stopped their applause and were mesmerized by their strange appearances. The skeleton extended his hand to the siblings, while behind him a rag doll and a child that looked like a rag doll with a skeleton head came. The rag doll put her hand on his shoulder and the child put his arms around the skeletons leg.

"I am the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, and this," he said, presenting the rag doll and little boy, "is my wife Sally and our son Derrick."

"Hello," Rubi greeted, shaking all hands, even the little boy.

"Hey", was all Mason would respond with, he didn't do well with new people.

"Do you have a place to stay?" Sally asked.

"No," replied Rubi, "we kinda dropped by unexpectedly" Rubi said, letting out a chuckle that was joined by Masons slight chuckle too. Jack, Sally, Derrick, and the citizens whom were still watching knew that they missed an inside joke and just stared. After a bit of awkward laughing followed by an awkward silence, Sally said,

"Hey Jack, don't we have an extra room open at home?

Jack thought a minute looking to the siblings and down to his wife,

"Yes we do actually. Come Rubi and Mason we have a place for you to stay."

Rubi looked to her brother and again they looked to have a silent conversation and then she looked back to the family and said,

"If it isn't too much trouble," he eyes shifted to her brother and he soon looked indifferent, "we would love too," she said showing a great smile in thanks.

"Great it is settled then. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!"

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN GREAT KING, QUEEN, AND PRINCE OF DARKNESS! HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU TOO GUESTS OF HALLOWEENTOWN!!!"

"Happy Halloween!" they replied, awkwardly.

The citizens didn't notice because they tuned to see the awards ceremony that began after the farewell. Rubi and Mason followed after the family hand in hand. They walked deeper into the city admiring the beauty of it all. They were both in such awe that they didn't notice Jack and Sally muttering to each other.

"Jack," Sally whispered, "these kids need our help. Can you not see that they are their children?"

"Sally that is exactly why I don't want them in our home. If your vision does come true then in the wrong hands or in the hands of their parents they can destroy us. We need to send them back to wherever they came from!" he said in a yell whisper.

"Jack you know what will happen if they go back. Why else would they have come here? And- wait where is Derrick?" they both stopped; they turned to ask Rubi and Mason if they had seen him.

While Rubi and Mason looked in awe she felt a slight tugging at the end of her skirt. She looked down to see Derrick looking up at her with sleepy eyes, she kneeled down to meet his eye level and asked,

"Are you sleepy?" Mason rolled his eyes and Rubi shot him a death glare.

Derrick nodded.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

Derrick nodded again and raised his arms to wrap them around her neck. Rubi lifted him around his middle and she put one arm under his little tush and the other rubbing up and down his back. Mason (after looking to make sure he was forgiven; which he was) put his arm in the middle of his sisters back leading her and making sure that she wouldn't trip over anything. They both felt the stares of the Pumpkin King and Queen and looked up to smile shyly and Mason included a little wave. Derrick had fallen asleep right away in Rubi's arms and Jack and Sally smiled back and waved.

Sally wrapped her arms around Jacks arm and led him to turn and walk on to their home.

"See," she said, matter-of-factly, "they are good kids. We just have to take it in ourselves to warn and train them about their prophecy and how to use their powers, which im pretty sure they know about," Sally concluded.

Jack thought for a minute on what she had said. She closed her eyes and put her head on his shoulder. He watched her for a minute then said quietly,

"Fine we can take them under our wing. They are pretty good kids. What of their attire, she is now a vampire and he is the undead, how do we explain that?"

"Don't worry we have all day tomorrow to explain," Sally said, keeping her eyes closed, ending the conversation for now.
