Chapter 10

A Halloween in the life of Darryl (I'm sorry it took so long) and yes Christy still lives at the manor.

When Chris woke up on his birthday he just couldn't believe he was already ten years old. He woke up in the happiest mood ever and orbed down to kitchen. He was the last one up as usual and said good morning to everyone, even Belle.

"Uh Chris, did you get into the book of shadows?" Piper asked not used to Chris being in such a good mood.

"No mom, I'm ten today so I'm just happy" Chris shouted.

"Well can you be happy a little quieter" Melinda sked with her hands on her ears.

When come around Chris's party began when his friends showed up. Kennedy, Dakota, Austin and Carter were first to arrive, along with Zoey who Chris' hadn't played with since kindergarten but invited anyways. Victor, Billie, Austin and Ginny were next to arrive. Then came Darryl and Sheila, but their sons stayed at home.

Chris was talking with his friends excitedly. Melinda, P.J., Kat, Tamora, Henry Jr. and Parker were playing with blocks. Payton was looking through a picture book with Patty on her lap, Preston was beside them looking at the book as well. Three month old Paris was sitting on Prue's lap. Wyatt was being so grown up and talking with the adults.

"So what's my update on Chris" Victor asked.

"He's still short tempered, but is very friendly and helpful" Wyatt stated.

"Thank you Wyatt" Victor thanked considering it cute Wyatt wanted to join the adults.

"He's still highly advanced in his schooling" Piper stated proudly.

"He's starting to mature quite a bit too" Leo added.

"So Phoebe how's Patty" Billie asked.

"Well she's ten months old now and has taken her first steps" Phoebe replied and glanced at Patty playing with her cousins.

"Aww cute, and how's baby Paris" Billie asked Prue and Andy.

"She's three months old and gave us her first smile yesterday" Andy informed.

"So how are you enjoying school Chris?" Darryl asked.

"It's great, I'm finally in the middle grades" Chris replied.

"What do you mean" Darryl asked.

"Well kindergarten to grade 4 are the younger grades, grades 5 and 6 are the middle grades, and grades 7 and 8 are the oldest grades" Chris explained.

"What grades are your boys in" Coop asked.

"Darryl Jr.'s in grade seven, Mikey's in grade ten" Sheila replied.

For supper Piper made Chris' most recent favourite mean, spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone gathered at the table or living room and Pip along with Leo and Phoebe served them. Again after supper was over it was time for the cake. Those who were in the living room gathered in the kitchen.

Piper and Leo came into the kitchen carrying the cake that had lighten candle in the shape of a ten. Piper and Leo walked over to the table with the cake while singing the birthday song. They placed the cake on the table in-front of Chris who blew out the candle.

After cake it was time for Chris to open his presents. Chris mostly got video games, clothes and books, and a skate board. As usual after all the guests had left Chris got his magic presents. This included: fairy dust, more ingredients, a new caldron, and a magic type writer that could make the stories come to life. Chris was told never to let anyone use the type writer.

Two weeks before Halloween Darryl and his family returned home from a long day of shopping. Like every year they were throwing a Halloween party for their family and friends. The family placed all the shopping bags by the front door and gathered at the kitchen table.

"Alright time to assign tasks" Darryl stated.

"Mikey you'll be in charge of decorating the house, make it scary but not too scary" Sheila instructed.

"I know mom, I decorate every year" Mikey reminded her.

"D.J., you'll be making the guests list again" Sheila instructed and Darryl Jr. nodded.

"I'll making the food, and Darryl you'll be doing everything else" Sheila stated.

The only one who needed to do his task right away was Darryl Jr. So he went up to his room and sat at his desk. He opened his lap top and printed off some Halloween invitations he found on google images. Once they were printed out Darryl Jr. got a black permanent marker and wrote on them invitations.

"Dear Halliwell's, Mitchells and whoever else is there, you are all invited to the Morris Hallowell party. The party begins at six p.m. and will be held at 1215 Wendy Street. Please wear your costumes to the party."

Darryl Jr. Also added a list of the fun activities planned. He made about twenty of these invitations and mailed them afterwards. Halloween was one thing he and Mikey both loved despite their ages.

On Halloween morning the Morris family began getting ready straight after breakfast. Mikey dumped all the decorations into boxes in the living room. Sheila pulled out all the ingredients and pots/pans. Darryl went off to work, he went set the music when got home before supper.

Mikey turned on his cell phone and blasted his music. He placed the phone on the nightstand by the TV, and got to work decorating. He and Darryl Je. Started off by decorating the living room, then moved on the outside of their house. Sheila began with the candy and other treats.

By noon Mikey and Darryl Jr. were done decorating both outside the house and the living room. Sheila was done with the small treats. The boys began decorating the kitchen while Sheila began making the turkey. This was completed by the time Darryl got home, by then it was 5:30. The turkey was on the stove cooling off.

At 6:15 Mikey stood by the front door to assist the guests. A couple a minutes later a bunch of their family arrived. At 6:35 the Halliwell/Mitchell family arrived, and Mikey took the coats and hung them for them. Darryl Jr. the came to the door in his Freddy cougar costume, he took over while Mikey went to change into his costume. Mikey dressed up a Jason, the one with chain saw.

Once all the guests had arrived the party started with just music, dancing and talking. At 7:10 the games began, starting with bobbing for apples. Piper and Paige were got into too much of completion during this, and Henry along with Leo and to separate them.

The next games was wrap up the mummy. This game was done by choosing a partner and wrapping them up in toilet paper in one minute. Kat was the only one who was able to accomplish this, so she won that game.

The next game was bucket toss, the players had to toss candy and try to throw them into their Halloween bucket. This proved to be a challenge for everyone. In the end it was a tie between Mikey and Coop, and since he's an adult Coop let Mikey have the prize.

After a few more games it was time to eat, so everyone gathered in the kitchen or living room. They stuffed their mouths with the turkey, stuffing, corn, mashed potatoes and variety or drinks. After the main meal was over, everyone either got into the desert or went back to dancing.

At nine it was time for the last event before the party ended, the costume contest. This year the prize was a goblin statue. Everyone who was interested in the prize line up in-front of everyone else. Darryl allowed Mikey and Darryl Jr. to choose the winner.

The boys walked down the line of contests paying attention to every aspect of their costumes. One by one they dismissed people until there was only three left. One was their cousin who was dressed in a very well dome homemade devil costume. The second was Melinda who was dressed as lamb. The third one was P.J. who was dressed as Princess Belle. Mikey then whispered something to Darryl Jr. who nodded in agreement.

"This is tuff all your costumes are great, but the winner is…P.J. Halliwell whose dressed as Belle from beauty and the beast" the boys announced and gave her the statue.

"That you all for coming this has been a great Halloween. Drive safely and have a good night" Sheila stated and the crowd began to leave.

That night P.J. put the gobbling statue beside her bed and got into bed. Phoebe and Coop came along to give P.J. and Parker their hugs goodnight. Coop asked P.J. if she was sure she wanted the statue to stay in the room at night, it was a creepy statue.

"Daddy I see worse things almost every day" P.J. pointed out, and Coop nodded in agreement, it was true after all.

Again sorry it took so long I broke my arm while hanging out with my sister at the playground. If you enjoy seeing the life of my other characters, like this chapter and Ginny's birthday chapter, and would like me to continue this time to time let me know. I know one of you asked to see more of Billie, which why I do the month of July (Chapter 7) in Billie's perspective. Also if there's another Character you'd like to see a "day in the life" of let me know, remember to tell me the character's name (first and last if possible, unless it's a common character.)
