"Jack O' Lantern"

"Daddy! Can I carve it?" little two year Ruby asked her father as he placed one of the four pumpkins that they just bought from the store on the table, since it was near Halloween.

"No! I wanna do it!" Ruby and Deuce's great- cousin, Zori, cried.

"No! You guys are girls!" Zori's twin, Drake, said "Me and Uncle Deuce should do it!"

Zori and Drake were the children of Holt Hyde and Deuce's cousin, Lea Darkwood.

Lea and Holt had gone out to dinner, so they left their kids with Cleo and Deuce, but it wasn't like they minded; not only did they love having them over but Ruby did as well since they were not only her best friends but the same age as her.

"Guys! Guys!" Cleo said, "we're all gonna carve it, ok?"

Then the sound of a baby crying came from upstairs.

"Oh that's Narcissus," Cleo said "I'll go check to see if he's ok."

So as Cleo went upstairs to check on Narcissus, Deuce helped the kids onto the table near where the pumpkin lay on top of some newspaper.

"So guys," Deuce said "what do think we should carve this pumpkin into?"

"Oh!" Ruby cried "A snake!"

"No, we should make it into a witch!" Zori said, disagreeing.

"No, it should be a vampire!" Drake said, disagreeing as well.

"How about," Deuce said "we carve this one into a snake, and carve the other two pumpkins into a witch and a snake how's that sound?"

The kids had said that they liked that, and Deuce spent the next couple hours helping them carve the figures that they wanted.

A few hours after those few hours…

"About time your back!" Deuce said, as Cleo came into the kitchen and sat down at the table next to Deuce.

It was ten o'clock, Zori and Drake were long gone and Ruby had been put to bed.

"Don't blame me," Cleo said "I was on baby duty."

"Is Narcissus ok?" Deuce asked.

"Yeah, he's fine," Cleo reassured "he was just having some separation anxiety with me. He kept crying every time I left to go. So I just stayed with him and rocked him to sleep."

Cleo's gaze then went to the snake pumpkin that Ruby and Deuce carved.

"Did you that?" she asked, amazed at how realistic it looked.

"Ruby did it," Deuce explained "I just helped her."

"Really?" Cleo questioned, smiling, not believing that her two year could carve something that lifelike.

"Yeah," Deuce nodded "she held the knife, and I helped her make the shape."

"You let Ruby hold a knife?" Cleo inquired.

"Well," Deuce explained "she didn't actually hold the knife by herself, I had my hand over hers so she won't like cut herself or anything. But she did the shape and everything."

"What about Zori and Drake?" Cleo wondered "Did they help you and Ruby?"

"Oh I helped them carve their own pumpkins," Deuce clarified "they took them home with them. Zori carved a witch, and Drake carved a vampire."

Cleo laughed.

"Oh how cute!"

"Yep," Deuce replied, giving a smile.

A minute of silence passed before Deuce said:

"You know what?"

"What?" Cleo asked.

"I've noticed that whenever we carve pumpkins you're always absent."

"Well- to be honest-,"Cleo said "I'm kinda scared of carving pumpkins."

"What?" Deuce bit his lip to prevent himself from laughing "Why?"

"It involves knives," Cleo said "and the guts… And that I've never done it before."

"What?" Deuce asked once again "You're kidding right?"

Cleo shook her head.

"My parents thought that carving pumpkins was for commoners, so we never did it."

"Well that figures," Deuce said.

"But you know what," Cleo said "I wanna try it."

"You wanna try to carve a pumpkin?" Deuce asked, smiling.

Cleo nodded.

"Well, it's a good thing that you do," Deuce said, "cause I bought an extra pumpkin for us to carve together."

Deuce got up and went to the pantry where he had placed the fourth pumpkin that he had bought.

He came back to the table a few minutes later, holding the pumpkin.

"Get some newspaper please," Deuce said to Cleo as he sat down at the chair that he had been sitting at.

Cleo carried out what he said and went to the bat room (aka bathroom) to get some newspaper.

Once the pumpkin was on the newspaper, Cleo stood over it, holding the carving knife, Deuce's big hand over hers.

"Just follow my lead," he said to her.

And in no time at all, Cleo and Deuce had finished carving the pumpkin, it looking like a traditional jack o' lantern.

"That looks cute," Cleo smiled, placing her pointer finger into the jack o' lantern's mouth and moving it back and forth across its only buck tooth.

"Yeah," Deuce smiled "and you did it."

"No," Cleo shook her head "you actually did it, I just held the knife."

"No" Deuce shook his head as well.

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

The two then of a sudden stopped talking, and started laughing.

"Tha-that was weird," Deuce then said, still laughing.

"Yeah," Cleo agreed, still laughing as well.

"I think I'm getting the tired- weirds" Deuce said, using the expression that meant that he was getting both tired and weird.

"I think I am too," Cleo smiled.

"Bed?" Deuce asked her.

"Yes please," Cleo replied.

So they concluded that monumental day, walking hand in hand upstairs.

THE END!
