Decided to get in to the spirit a little early.
Frank dropped the basket of candy in to Magenta's arms. "Smile Magenta," He chimed, "We don't want to scare the children off now, do we?"
Magenta summoned up her best sarcastic smile. Frank chuckled and stepped in to the elevator so he could return to the lab. Magenta sighed in boredom and sat down on the bottoms step of the staircase, candy basket resting in her lap, awaiting the first knock on the door. It was Columbia's fault that they were even celebrating the pointless holiday. Handing out free candy to greedy children, it was a complete mugs game.
"Halloween is the best!" Columbia had exclaimed, "Fancy dress parties and free candy, whats not to love?"
It was alright for her to say that, she had disappeared off to some party in town. Magenta picked up a lollipop and began to unwrap it. A knock on the door interrupted her. Grumbling to herself, Magenta stuffed the lollipop in to her apron pocket and marched over to the door.
"Trick or treat!" A host of small voices shrieked.
A cluster of children were stood outside. Magenta spotted a impatient looking woman waiting over by the gate. Forcing on her most welcoming smile, Magenta began sprinkling the candy in to the bags of the children.
"Nice outfit, lady!" One boy dressed as a vampire called.
"You too," Magenta replied. She waggled her fingers at them and then shut the door. Before she closed it completely she heard one girl remark, "I loved her hair! And her lip gloss."
Chuckling to herself, Magenta resumed her place on the stairs to see what other candy the basket had to offer.
