A/N: BWAHAHAHAHAHA! A HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! ENJOY MY FREAKY FRIENDS! And for those of you who have no idea what the heck booing is, it's a fun tradition that my neighborhood does. Not sure how many other people do it, but my little brother loves going booing. He did it in the middle of the day once. Not exactly sure why…
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. Just cosplay and a TARDIS I made myself. NO HELP FROM YOU, DAD! (Jk, I love you, Daddy. :3)
"This'll be so much fun!" Jade promised excitedly.
"But I don't even know what Booing is!" Melody protested.
"I explained it to you already." Her friend reminded her.
"Yeah, but I still don't really get the point." Melody mumbled.
"The point is to give people candy while running around like a sneaky person!" Jade sighed, feigning exasperation.
"But does that just not mean the person gets sweets while we run away like twats?" Kaden asked.
Jade scowled. ". . . Stop questioning the game! It's fun!"
"So we're just going round giving out free candy with a note saying 'you've been booed'?" Melody frowned.
"Yeah!" Jade said, grinning again.
"Seems legit," Kaden shrugged.
"Seems a bit creeperish." Melody added. "What happens when the people inside see three teenagers dressed in black running about?"
"They don't call the police, if that's what you're asking. But this'll be fun! Trust me!" Jade assured.
"But it's giving away our sweets!" Kaden exclaimed.
"Yeah, what if we want to eat it ourselves?" Melody asked.
"Then you'll get sick," Jade pointed out.
"Wait, what?"
"Exactly." Jade nodded, and tugged on a black sweatshirt. "The whole point is to give people candy, and they wonder who gave them candy, so that's the whole fun!"
"But why at night?"
"Well you can't sneak around and give people candy in the middle of the day! It doesn't make sense!"
"Well you kinda can. As long as you can jump into the bushes quick enough," Kaden says, putting a hockey mask over his face.
"Oh shut up and let me have my moment!" Jade snapped. "What's with the hockey mask anyway? This isn't a horror movie."
"I dunno. I just want to. Don't question my methods, woman!" Kaden said, putting on a rage face. Jade put her hands up in mock surrender and giggled.
"Fine, fine," Melody said, raising her gloved hands in surrender. "What a clever plan you've come up with Jade, you're so smart!"
"Happy?" Kaden asked.
"Very," Jade grinned.
"Now let's go give people candy!" Jade pointed her index finger to the air, and ran out the door into the night.
~XoX~
The first house the group came to was a sprawling mansion, with many lit windows.
"Should I go first to show you people how it's done?" Jade asked.
"Go ahead." Melody said.
"By all means." Kaden added. Jade grinned again, and snuck up the door, occasionally ducking when someone passed by the window. She placed her bag by the door, rang the doorbell, and ran for her life back to Melody and Kaden, and dove into the bushes.
"Oh shit!" Melody gasped, her hand flinging to her mouth.
"What?" Jade said, the proud smile on her face suddenly shrinking a little.
"That's Natalie's house!"
"Shit!"
"My sentiments exactly! Kaden! Why didn't you tell us?!"
"I...uh...forgot?" Kaden frowned.
"You forgot where your girlfriend lives?!" Jade sighed.
"Ex-girlfriend and yes, I forgot, so shoot me!"
"Gladly." Melody grumbled as the door was flung open, and Natalie stormed out.
"WHO'S THERE?!" She demands, snakes flying out of her head.
"Eep!" Jade yelped quietly. "Run for it!" She whispered, and ran for it, followed closely by Melody and Kaden.
"THERE YOU ARE!" Natalie snarled, and whistled loudly. Almost immediately, her cronies appeared, fully transformed.
"Flippin' heck how did she manage that?!" Jade exclaimed as they turned a corner and ran down the road.
"Some sort of dog whistle I guess," Melody shrugged.
"Nah, they all have some sort of signal," Kaden explained. "They can all gather at the blink of an eye."
"Really?" Melody panted.
"Yup. It can be quite annoying though."
"I'm guessing." Melody gasped, running at a fast pace. "And why exactly was this a good idea in the first place?" She asked Jade, who was running just ahead.
"Relax, this is the fun bit. I love getting chased around by the people I give candy to!" Jade laughed.
"Yeah, think of it as a surreal Halloween," Kaden says as they start to scale a hill in the road.
"Yeah, because we all want the monsters under our bed to come to life!" Melody panted sarcastically.
"I do!" Jade called over her shoulder. "I would named him Jerry and we would be best friends!"
"...I have no words," Melody sighed as Jade starts flapping her arms as she runs. "Oh what the heck. HEY SNAKE FACE! YOU CAN'T CATCH ME!" She screamed.
"That's the spirit!" Kaden laughed.
"WE'RE HANGING OUT WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Jade screamed as well.
"EX-boyfriend," Kaden corrected.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Natalie screeched while the threesome started laughing.
"See why I love doing this now?" Jade laughed.
"This is fun!" Melody replied back.
"IM RUNNING FROM MY EX-GIRLFRIEND AFTER GIVING HER CANDY! IM TRYING REALLY HARD NOT TO SEE THIS AS A METOPHOR!" Kaden added in loudly.
Melody whacked him round the head. "It's no metaphor kid, this is real!"
"I can feel an asthma attack coming on," Kaden panted.
"Yeah, well, you'll live, KEEP RUNNING!" Jade shouted.
After about five more minutes of running away from Natalie, the snake-haired girl finally gave up chase. The trio collapsed on the damp grass as soon as they heard her leaving.
"So where's the next house?" Melody asked, gasping for breath.
"Let's try this one." Kaden pointed to a small blue box by them.
"That's the Doctor's house-thing!" Jade pointed out.
"And he probably won't chase us." Kaden explained.
"Good point," Melody said. "But the Doctor's been so helpful! He deserves sweets!"
"She has a point," Kaden pointed out.
"Let's do it!" Jade grinned.
"My turn." Melody grinned, and grabbed a bag of candy and a note. She placed the bag of candy in front of the door, knocked as hard as she could, and ran into the shadows.
Almost immediately, the door opened, and the Doctor stepped out.
"Sweets!" He cheered.
"It's a thank you Doc!" Jade grinned, skipping out from behind a bush. "We were supposed to run away but..."
"We knew you wouldn't chase us," Kaden said.
"Aw, thanks guys!" The Doctor grins, pulling them into a hug.
"You're welcome. We just did Natalie's house. We ran for about five to ten minutes..." Melody said.
"I'd expect so. She is a snake." The Doctor pointed out. "So what are you doing?"
"Booing people!" Jade explained happily.
"Cool! What's booing?"
"You leave sweets on people's doorsteps and run away. It's fun!" Jade grinned.
"And people chase you for that?" The Doctor frowned.
"Well, I think Natalie was more fueled by the fact we were with her ex-boyfriend," Melody shrugged.
"Yeah, she's so clingy," Kaden grinned.
"And you're not?"
"Sssh, let me have my moment!"
"Fine, whatever you say." Melody held her hands up in surrender.
"Can I have a hug now?" Kaden held his arms out for a hug.
"No."
"Aw, but why?" Kaden pouted.
"Because I don't feel like hugging you, since it's about 10:00 at night and we're sneaking around in front of a police box." Melody said.
"But we're not sneaking around now." Jade pointed out.
Kaden widened his open arms and grinned at Melody.
"No, it's weird," Melody said defiantly.
"Ah, come on, you know you want to," Jade said, nudging her.
"No! So are we going to boo more people or what?"
"Yes! Yes we are! That house over there!" Jade pointed to an ordinary looking house. "Bye, Doctor!"
"Later." Kaden waved.
"See you later, Doctor." Melody added.
"But I want to come with you!" The Doctor protested.
"No." Melody shook her head. "You'll stand out too much and get us caught."
"And she won't?" The Doctor pointed to Jade.
"... Touché."
"Touché? Like in fencing?" Kaden frowned.
"Shut up! I enjoy fencing!" Melody said in her defense.
"Never tease someone who knows how to fence," The Doctor put in.
"And you'd know?" Jade asked.
"Yup!"
"I'm guessing from experience?" Melody asked. "Again."
"Yup!"
"Well, we're off!" Melody ran for the bushes, and Kaden gave a slight wave before joining her.
"Bye, Doctor!" Jade grinned before joining her friends. "So what's the plan?"
"We boo the house. Duh."
"Can I do it this time?" Kaden asked.
"Sure!" Jade grinned. "Take the sweets and go boo that house!"
"Be careful though," Melody added.
"Yeah, yeah, I will mum," Kaden said sarcastically before going to the house, dropping the sweets on the doorstep and knocking.
He quickly ran away into the shadows before the door opened, this time Jack Harkness stepping out. Jack looked around, and then made a grab for the candy.
"I wonder who left this~" He smirked. "Someone must like me a lot~"
Kaden was about to protest but Jade clapped a hand over his mouth, silencing him.
"What's the point in the game if they don't chase us?" Melody sighed.
"Uh... I dunno," Jade shrugged. "Not everyone chases you, you know!"
"Well that was a waste of time," Kaden said.
"Wait for it," Jade said.
Jack's ears pricked as he picked up the silent conversation. "Gotchya." He smirked, and ran towards the shadows.
"Eep!" Jade squeaked, and the trio ran away.
"Found you!"
"Yes you di- um, I mean, yes you did!" Melody called back, switching her voice to a deeper tone, quickening her pace.
"IT'S JUST SWEETS!" Kaden shouts as Jack begins to gain on them. "IT'S NOT A BOMB OR ANYTHING!"
"YEAH!" Melody called as well.
"THERE'S A WIDE VARITY!" Jade hollered behind herself. "IF YOU'D JUST STOP A MOMENT AND LOOK!"
"So what? You can run away and get away with booing me?" Jack shouted back.
"You know what booing is?"Jade panted.
"Duh!" Jack replied.
"Wow, not even the Doctor knew!" Kaden marveled.
"So that's another thing I know that the Doc doesn't!" Jack shouted triumphantly.
"You know, if we have to run this much all the time, I'm seriously going to have to think about getting a treadmill!" Jade gasped.
"Why are we even running?" Melody asked, skidding to a halt, and crashing into Jack.
"Yeah I mean, we're giving everyone sweets, why are they getting so pissed?" Kaden asked curiously.
"I dunno," Jade shrugged. "They just do."
"It's strange though," Melody mused. "If someone left sweets on my doorstep I wouldn't complain."
"Don't question it. Just go with it," Jade said.
"But I don't get it!" Kaden whined.
"Then start acting like you get it! The only way to survive is to shut up and look like you know what you're doing." Jade advised.
"Right, because that's gotten me out of so many bad situations." Kaden said, voice dripping in sarcasm.
"That's the spirit!" Jade grinned.
"That's sarcasm!" Kaden retorted.
"Oh... I knew that."
"So who should we boo next?" Melody asked.
"THAT HOUSE!" Jade pointed to another house, not very far away from where they were.
"Good thinking, Jade!" Jack grinned. "Let's go."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What makes you think you're coming?" Melody raised an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm obviously a good choice. Come on team! Okay, Jade, you go put the sweets down. Kaden, you ring the bell, and Melody, you use your StarChaser powers to make a distraction while I sneak into the house to look for alien evidence!"
"... No." All three teens said at once.
"We're supposed to be booing people. Not suspecting them of holding 'alien evidence'," Melody said.
"It's for fun Jack," Kaden put in.
"You know, because it's Halloween," Jade said.
"Fine. The Doctor and I can go and look for alien evidence!" Jack sneered, and sauntered off to the Doctor's blue box.
"... Let's just go." Kaden said.
"Agreed."
"I'm in!"
"Wait!" Melody called.
"What?" Jade asked, whirling back on her heels.
"Can I do it this time?"
"Sure!" Jade handed Melody the bag of sweets and stepped back as she went up onto the doorstep of the house. Melody rang the doorbell and waited.
~XoX~
After they finished booing, the trio decided to go back to Melody's house. Kaden had barely shut the door when the doorbell rang. Kaden slammed the door open to find no one there, just a small bag of sweets on the floor with a note that read
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
A/N: Yes, there is a lot of panting, grinning, and saying. We run out of adjectives, and thesauruses don't always help. Anyways, have a safe and happy Halloween! Get lots of candy, leave lots of reviews, but watch out for the grass. It can kill you, and never know if there's a grass type pokemon hiding somewhere! And bring a flashlight!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
~Doc and HungerWho
