Once again I was threatened into writing so I updated as promised. I spent most of the day today on my feet and walking around and now I can barely stand and I'm very stressed and tired but everything will be over on Saturday so I just have to survive until then.

I actually enjoyed this one. I was originally headed in like three different directions and I settled for this one so I hope you guys enjoy!

Jack o Lantern

Halloween had finally rolled around. For the descendants of mythical heroes, that meant fighting off mythical baddies Not that they minded; it was a good distraction from having to worry about their dying social lives. Not a single one of them was invited to a party so they had opted to celebrate together. Of course some dark agent of Cronus' just had to crash the party and it took them a long time but they finally got it out onto the porch. Without really thinking, Archie took the pumpkin from the steps and smashed it over the creature's head. In an instant it had... melted.

"Really? Melted? That is so weird." Archie just shrugged.

"What can I say, I take risks."

"Oh please," Atlanta wiped a bit of creature goo off of her shoulder. "my hero got lucky." She mocked. But Archie didn't get that.

"I'm your hero?" She rolled her eyes.

"Yes Archie! You're my favorite person in the whole world."

"You know someday, you're going to say that and mean it." He smirked.

"That'll be the day. The day I fall madly in love with my best friend Archie. Ha!" She turned to go back into the house with the rest of the team but Archie grabbed her hand and spun her into him.

"Don't I get a thank you for saving your life?" It didn't take Atlanta long to decide.

"Yes you do." She subtly reached over and scooped up a handful of pumpkin-creature goo and wiped it over the side of his face.

"Thank you." But then she smiled and before Archie could react, she kissed his other cheek leaving him confused as to which cheek he should determine was real. Instead, he smiled at her.

Subtly leaning down, Archie grabbed a handful of goo and smashed it all over Atlanta's forehead and quickly leaned forward and kissed her lips.

"You're welcome."
