Everyone writes Halloween fanfic at Halloween time, so I'm shaking it up a bit! Hope you like it. Next chapter goes up once I get 70 reviews (and once I write it…) Oh, and sorry for the delay. School has been eating me alive! -_-

Halloween

"Glimmer!" Is this waking going to be a regular thing?

"What Connie?" I asked as I sat up in bed.

"Halloween is coming and we need to go buy scary decorations and costumes!" She said as she ran in and started jumping on my bed in an attempt to wake me.

"What's Halloween?" I asked.

"WHAT! You don't know what Halloween is! I talk about it all the time! How could you have missed it?" She yelled in my ear.

*Flashback*

May 23rd

"Hey, Glimmer." Connie said as she hopped in the car from school. That's right! They have school in heaven, but it's very limited, they really only learn basic skills and history.

"Hey Connie. How was school?"

"Good. We learned about this really cool holiday called Hallo-" She began, but was interrupted by me swerving the car so I didn't hit a squirrel. I'm not sure what would happen to the creature, because it's already dead, but Connie would have cried so I avoided it.

August 2nd

There was a freak storm the day before, so Cato was up on a ladder trying to get Rue's cat out of a tree. Don't ask how it got stuck up there, but I think Rue forgot to let it in…

"Glimmer. Cato. There's this great holiday coming up in a few months and…"

"AHHH!" Cato screamed as he fell off the ladder with a fluffy object attached to his face.

"CATO!" I yelled as I ran over and pried Miss Kitty off his face.

"Thanks Cato!" Rue cheered as she skipped away with her angry cat.

"Any time. Uhhhhh. My face hurts." Cato moaned.

"Come on ya big baby. Can't even take a cat to the face." I giggled as we all walked inside and Connie got the first aid kit.

September 17th

"Clove! Can you make me lunch?" Connie asked.

"Sure. What do you want?" She responded.

"Pasta pasta pasta pasta!" Connie began to chant.

"Ok."

After twenty minutes of silence, Connie interrupted my reading. She bounced over to the couch and jumped onto my torso.

"Yes Connie?" I asked as I put my book down.

"Well, Halloween is in a few weeks and… "

"AHHHHHHHH!" Clove screamed from the kitchen. Connie and I jumped off the couch and ran into the other room.

Clove was standing there, dripping wet, in the middle of a pile of noodles.

"What happened?" I demanded.

"I dropped the pasta and was sprayed with boiling water." She sounded like she was gonna cry, but she just got down and started to clean up the pasta off the cold tile floor.

"At least it wasn't pasta sauce." I joked. "You ok?"

"I'll be fine once I change." Clove laughed.

"Well then it's a good thing you were wearing an apron."

*End of Flashback*

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I said, but it was clear that I was lying.

Connie just raised her eyebrows and said "Then, I will educate you… again."

"Halloween is when kids get to dress up in any costume they want and go door to door to get free candy!"

"Ok! So you what to go buy candy, decorations, and costumes?" I asked.

"Yep!"

Halloween Night (October 31)

I was actually excited to see what costumes my friends got. I already knew that I was a princess, Cato was a pirate, and Connie wanted to be me in the hunger games. That was an interesting choice… We made her a golden District 1 jacket and got her a bow and arrow. Connie wanted me to put make up on her, so it looked like she was actually cut, while she watched my interview and the games up until my death. In the end she looked pretty good. We also gave her fishtail braids on either side of her head so she looked exactly like me.

I curled my hair, wore a tiara, and put glitter all over my face and hair!

Cato drew pirate tattoos all over his arms, got an eye patch, and got a sword from the wreck room in out fitness center. However, Connie and I were disappointed when he wouldn't let us pierce his ears.

When the sun set, Connie bolted to our front yard and turned on the lights. This year, we decided to make out house look like a haunted mansion.

"Nice! Good call Connie! The house looks great!" Cato said.

"Thanks big brother!" Connie yelled as she waved at us from the road. "Hey Glimmer! Can we go yet?" Connie asked.

Connie and I were going next door to get Clove first. Then we were going to backtrack and go to pick up Zoe and Rue. Rue started to get really bad nightmares a few weeks ago, so she decided to move in with Zoe and Thresh until Prim gets here. Thresh, Marvel, and Cato were on door duty so us girls could walk around.

"Ok!" I yelled to Connie. I turned back to Cato and kissed him on the lips.

"Be back soon." I told him as I ran out to meet Connie by the road.

"Bye! Be safe!" Cato yelled from the door.

We took a left and walked on in the darkness. In the night, this place kinda looks like the Hunger Games arena I was in. Connie must've sensed my discomfort so she said "I know it's scary in the dark, but you're Glimmer! You're the bravest person I know!"

"What about your brother and Clove? Actually, what about Thresh… and Marvel, too?" I questioned.

"Well, yeah they're brave, but they are NOT out in the dark woods now, are they?"

"Good point." I said.

"And… they are all really brave… except Clove." She snickered.

"What's so funny? I think Clove's really brave." I informed the laughing seven year old next to me.

"No she's not! Once, we were sitting by a pond in District Two and a duck flew in behind her and quacked and she screamed and hid her head in her lap!" Connie laughed.

"I'm sure she was surprised. And she was little then…" I rationalized.

"Hahahahaha! That was on reaping day right before the last games!"

"Ok, that's a little pathetic. Don't tell her I said that or I'll have a knife in my-"

Whoosh!

"-arm." I finished after a dagger came flying clean through the forest and pinned the arm of my dress to a tree.

"WOW!" Connie beamed. "That was so cool!"

"That's for thinking I'm pathetic." Clove said as she stepped into view.

"Come on. A duck? That is a little pathetic, don't you think." I asked once I got the knife out of my dress.

"If you were there, you would have seen how scary it was." Clove rationalized not even looking a little embarrassed.

"I don't care! It made me laugh because you screamed like a baby! I want my candy! Come on!" Connie demanded.

"Ok, ok. Marvel has your candy at the door, if you want to go get it…" Clove said to Connie.

Connie and I didn't understand until we walked up to their house. It was decorated like an Arabian Castle. Like the ones in that movie that Connie loves… Aladdin, I think.

"Wow!" I said.

"IT LOOKS LIKE THE CASTLE IN ALADDIN! That explains why you are dressed like an Arabian princess, Clove!" Connie squealed. I looked over at Clove and noticed what she was wearing. She had a very 'Jasmine like' top and pants that were a sandy tangerine color with matching shoes and lots of gold jewelry. Her hair was pulled back in her classic bubble ponytail and she had some hair veil thing going down the back.

"Wow. Someone went all out." I commented.

"I only like this one because I can hide knives in all kinds of places! There are so many pockets and hidden straps." She demonstrated by pulling out a knife and throwing it so the butt hit the door bell.

Ding Dong

"Oh, hey Connie." Marvel said as he answered the door.

"Talk later, candy now."

"Ok. Here." He held the bowl out to her. She took a huge handful and shoved it into her bag.

"Hey. Glimmer! Marvel looks just like Aladdin!" Connie pointed out.

"Yep. We're matching this year." Clove said.

"Nice District One games outfit. You're Glimmer right?" Marvel asked Connie.

"Yes! I'm so excited! I love my costume!"

"Come on, Connie. We still have a whole neighborhood to get candy from. See you later, baby." Clove said.

"I want to go to Zoe and Thresh's house next! Isn't Rue going to meet us there?" Connie asked.

"Yes she is. What do you think their house's theme is?" I asked.

"I don't know… I hope it's cool…" Connie said as she slowed down. Her jaw dropped at the sight before her.

Thresh and Zoe's house was a haunted barnyard! There were crows cawing everywhere and pumpkins with scary faces and blood on them. We walked up to the door and saw a scarecrow at the corner of the walk. It had an odd shape to it and I had the feeling someone was watching me. The voice box attached to the things leg said "I bet I scare you."

"No you don't! You're just a stupid scarecrow and judging by all the crows around here, you're not doing a very good job!" Clove pointed out.

"Oh. But I'm a great scare Clove."

"What! That makes NO sense!" Clove countered.

"Yes it does. I can scare you, easy! All I have to do is count to three."

"1…"

"Where is the plug on this thing?" Clove wondered.

"2…"

"This thing thinks it's scary! Ha! It can't even move!"

"3…" The scare crow finished. It still looked same.

"See," Clove began as she stepped closer, "I told you!"

All of the sudden, the scarecrow jumped off its post, struck a ridiculous pose, and screamed a very high and girly scream. Well… not as high and girly as Clove's. Clove shrieked, jumped in the air, and ran behind me. The scarecrow stood there, very much alive and began laughing.

"Wait a second! I recognize that laugh! It's you!" Connie yelled as she jumped onto the person and pulled off the head to reveal Zoe!

"NOT COOL, ZOE!" Clove yelled as she reappeared from her hiding spot. Zoe just kept laughing.

"I want candy! Zoe, can I please have some candy?" Connie said, using the Bambi eyes.

"Sure, Thresh has it. Come here." Zoe informed.

We walked up to the door and a giant cow covered in gems and jewels came to the door. Zoe started laughing even harder.

"Guys! Look! I helped Thresh! Isn't his costume amazing?" Rue called out. She ran out the door and hugged us.

"It's something alright…" Zoe giggled.

Thresh held out the bowl of candy so Connie and Rue could have some, then waved goodbye and walked back inside. We walked down the street and continued on our rounds. All the houses had different, elaborate themes. We saw pirate ships, haunted graveyards, and a Disney princess castle. By the end of the night, we called Cato and told him to bring Connie's red wagon to the front gatehouse. Kathy was holding an all residence party in the courtyard.

"Hey gorgeous." Cato said from behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and started kissing my neck.

"Hey. About time! Connie made me and Clove take turns carrying her candy! And she wouldn't let us eat any!" I whined.

"Come on." Cato said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me over to Connie.

"Here's your wagon." Cato told his sister.

The rest of the night was a blur. Connie found a whole street we missed so we had to go get more candy with her. Rue fell asleep around midnight so Zoe took her home. And Clove said she wanted to spend time with Marvel and went home.

"Glimmer, can we go home? I'm really tired." Connie yawned.

"Sure. Cato! We're leaving! Come on!" I yelled.

When we finally got home, Connie passed out on the stairs up to her room.

"She's so cute." I told Cato as he picked her up and carried her to her room.

"Yeah. Come on. It's late."

And with that, we changed and went to bed.

Weak ending, I know, but… yeah. Anyways, REVIEW! And I love to hear your ideas and thoughts so feel free to tell me in reviews and PMs. Thank you!
