Hey everyone! It took a long time to update for two reasons. 1. I wanted to post this closer to Halloween and since it is just next week, I decided to post it now. And 2. I kept getting distracted. Hey! Don't look at me like that! Anyways, ColorlessRainbow and my other assistants really helped in making this chapter so, thanks to all my assistants. Enjoy everyone!
It was a couple days after the whole baby incident.
We kept the sphere locked away in a glass container. Donnie kept the key and hid it somewhere he said the rest of us "would never find." I still wondered who sent it to April and why though.
The turtles never regained their memories of what had happened while they were babies.
April started acting weird around Donnie, but after a while, the awkwardness melted away. I suspected that April was thinking about Donnie, more than she had before. I didn't bother her about it though. I felt that she had to figure out the complete truth on her own.
The only weird thing that the turtles ever noticed was the fact that for a while after the incident, they had on and off naps and also kept craving milk. Whenever Mikey ate pizza afterwards he always commented how he felt that he hadn't eaten pizza in forever.
It also took a while for our nightly patrolling to continue because the turtles kept sleeping suddenly and waking up suddenly too.
I kept working on Zoey ' s cat costume. I got her a cat ear headband and a tail too. The cat costume itself was all black, including a black skirt. We got her gloves that had paw prints on the palm. The paw prints were purple and Zoey absolutely adored it.
Halloween was not too far away and there was a certain excitement in the air.
Everyone was working on their costumes, I even caught Raph working on his once. Leo used trash materials and Donnie asked me to help him with his cloak and hat. Mikey worked so hard that sometimes, I'd walk into his room to remind him he missed dinner and he was fast asleep on a desk in his room.
I always made sure to cover up his back with a blanket so he wouldn't get cold before leaving his dinner on his desk.
Zoey never stopped being awesome and continued work on Alex. The closest she ever got to actually fixing Alex was this once when Alex opened his/her eyes. But, she shut down a second later.
Leo continued watching his show every once in a while and once I played a multi player game with him.
And then, the night of Halloween came.
"Zoey!" I yelled "Come get your costume!"
Leo walked out of his room in his armor, it was made out of cleaned trash cans and looked like the real thing. He had a Katana in one hand and a cleaned trash can lid in the other meant as a shield. He had a blue cape that I helped him with, it connected to his shoulder pads. He also had a metal helmet I found once in the store while getting things, Leo wore that as well.
"Awesome costume Leo!" I said walking up to him.
Leo smiled. "Yeah." He said "You're right, a warrior suits me."
"You are a true warrior." I said and laughed.
"Where's Zoey?" I asked "She needs to put on her costume.
Leo shrugged and walked off to see his costume in a mirror I once bought.
I knocked on Mikey ' s door.
"Mikey?" I called "Are you ready for trick or treating?"
Mikey then suddenly opened the door and jumped out.
He wore a green and orange shirt that was Robin Hood styled He had a white Robin Hood hat with a brown feather in it. His color choices didn't really match. He also had a black strap that held up his arrows and the container that holds the arrows. He had a bow in his hand.
"Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun duuuun!" Mikey said,"I am Mikey Hood!"
"Work on your name." I said simply
"Alright!" Mikey said and saluted me.
He jumped away.
I laughed.
I moved on to Raph's room.
"Raph." I said "Do you know where Zoey is?"
Raph walked out of the room in his barbarian costume.
He had a helmet with two horns, one was red, the other was white. He had an ax, I bought it in the store for him. He had a fur-like material on his wrists, ankles and around his shell To hold up the material, he had black leather straps that had spikes on them.
"Nice costume." I said
"Right." Said Raph, "And no, I have no idea where Zoey is."
"Fine." I said and walked to Donnie's lab.
"Hey Donnie." I said, walking into the lab.
Donnie smiled. He had a purple robe and hat. His staff now had some sort of crystal on the top. A white beard hung from the hat. Donnie wore a simple costume.
"Do you know where Zoey is?" I asked
"No." Said Donnie "But, where's your costume."
"Oh." I said and remembered I hadn't planned to make myself a costume.
"Um, I'm not wearing one. It's fine though." I said "I never planned to do anything this Halloween anyways.
"What?" Asked Donnie "So you're not coming?"
I shook my head sadly.
"Hey, don't worry." I said "You guys are gonna have fu-"
Zoey tapped my shoulder. I turned to see her.
"Zoey!" I said "Where have you been!? You need to put on your costume!"
Zoey shook her head. "Come here first!" She grabbed my hand and lead me to the room.
Donnie left his lab to see his brothers. The room was dark.
"What's this all about?" I asked Zoey
Zoey led me to the middle of the room.
"It's a present." She said "For my best friend!"
She flicked the lights on.
Before me stood a chair, and on that chair was a costume "What?" I said
Zoey smiled. "I realized that you didn't have a costume, so I got you one!"
I almost cried.
"Thanks so much!" I said and hugged Zoey.
Zoey smiled and took her costume from my hands.
"Let's get dressed and have a fun night!" Said Zoey
I smiled. "Alright!"
I got dressed in my costume. It looked like a bride's gown, except it looked more like a corpse bride dress.
I had.
White gloves and my hair was up into a bun, there was a small veil for my hair that was pulled back and a black rose in my bun for decoration. I had long white socks with white shoes. My skirt was a little short, but it had a small train that fell gracefully and barely touched the ground.
My top had spaghetti straps. And on my neck was a white chokee. The dress also had a gray ribbon wrapped around my waist. The dress looked pretty normal, but it was very meaningful to me.
When Zoey and I walked out of the room Donnie looked surprised.
"I thought you didn't have a costume." He whispered to me when I walked by.
"Yeah, well Zoey surprised me." I whispered back.
"Alright!" Said Zoey turning to everyone before we left the lair. "Make sure everyone has a bag!"
We all grabbed a bad from Zoey ' s stack accordingly.
Zoey smiled and continued. "Halloween is very serious people!" She shouted "There's many things that can and will happen tonight, but just remember that the most important thing, is to get candy."
"Um Zoey." I said "Don't you mean to have fun?"
"Oh yeah." Said Zoey "That too. Anyways let's go!"
We walked to April's house and Donnie almost fainted at the sight of her. She wore a yellow dress that looked like Belle ' s dress from Beauty and the Beast except the skirt was shorter.
April had her hair tied up and wore high heels that weren't too high.
"Let's go." She smiled and we handed her a bag.
At our first house, a kind couple smiled at our costumes and threw a little something into each of our bags.
"What did you get April?" Asked Zoey
"Two king sized candy bars."
"What about you Scarlett?"
"Same."
"What about you Donnie?"
Donnie looked sadly at his bag. "I got a rock." He said and held up his rock.
We went to the next house.
"Oooh!" Said Mikey after looking into his bag "I got a Nitter Bitter Butter Bar!" Mikey held up his candy bar.
"Mikey." I said "That's a Butterfinger."
There was an awkward silence.
Raph groaned and pulled out his candy. It was a box of can hearts. "Positive notes to make you a better person!" Was written on the box.
I snickered.
"What did you get Donnie?" I asked
"I got another rock." Donnie answered.
"Why are people giving rocks out?" Asked Zoey "That's weird."
"New York." I said and shook my head.
"I'll give you some of my candy." Said Zoey and she handed Donnie a chocolate bar.
"Thanks." Donnie said and we continued our trick and treating.
After that, there were a few normal houses. We came to one where the man who came out was dressed as a hippie. Or at least I think he was wearing a costume.
"Hey Dudes." He said to us "Happy Halloween."
He handed us each bags of a cereal of some sort.
The bag read, "Bee Cherios, 'The Cereal for the Hippies of The World.' "
Inside were marshmallow peace signs mixed with cheerios shaped like peace signs as well.
"Gee..." I started "Thanks."
The man smiled and we walked away.
"That was strange." I commented once we left the house.
"What's with people and being positive?" Asked Raph
"I dunno." I said
We walked down the street and there were some more normal houses, until we came to this one house.
At the door was a kid, a boy, wearing exactly the same costume as Raph.
"What the!?" Raph and the boy pointed at each other.
"You're copying my idea!" They both yelled at each other. "No, you are!"
I didn't know what to say.
"Can we just get our candy and leave?" Asked Zoey, who was also uncomfortable there.
"No way." Said the kid, who wiped his nose. "Not until he (he pointed at Raph) admits I have a better costume than him!"
"What!?" Yelled Raph "Hay kid, you are the one who should be admitting my costume is better than yours!"
"For the live of - you BOTH have the SAME costume!" I yelled
"Whatever." The kid said "I'm not giving you any candy. Dressing up as turtles wearing costumes is stupid."
Zoey pulled out her freezing gun, which she later told me was called a Cyro-Ray. Zoey smiled mischievously.
"What if we told you that they aren't wearing turtle costumes?" She asked the boy.
The boy's eyes opened wide. "What?"
"It's very Hush-hush." Zoey said "Now that we told you, we'd have to, well dispose of you."
"No!" Said the boy who got down on his knees. "I'll do anything!"
"I belive that candy may help us get this off our minds." Said Zoey
The little boy gave us the whole bag. We left the house triumphantly.
"Zoey." I said "You weren't going to really hurt the kid right?"
"No." Said Zoey then she muttered "Maybe."
We continued our trick and treating experience.
It was just a little while afterward when a poster caught my eyes and stopped me in my tracks.
"Halloween Test Of Courage." Read the poster. And underneath, "Show Your Friends Your True Bravery."
"Hey guys." I said to the others. "Look at this."
Everyone else stared at the poster.
"Looks interesting." Said Raph
"Ooh! Let's do it!" Said Zoey
"I'm not sure." Said Leo
"I want to do it!" Said Mikey
"I dunno." Said Donnie
"Let's go!" Said April.
"I don't mind." Said Raph
We started walking in. "Oooh." I said "Spoooky." I laughed.
"You won't be laughing later." Said Raph "I bet I'll be the last one standing who hasn't wet their pants."
"As if." Zoey said "I scared the ghost at the haunted house in our school! I'm so going to last through this!"
I nodded, I was a bit nervous though.
We kept walking in the dark.
It was a cold night and my dress didn't have a lot of coverage to keep me warm. I rubbed my arms to keep myself from literally freezing.
"See?" Said Raph "This isn't scary at a-"
A ghost popped out of nowhere, scaring most of us. Zoey was the only one who wasn't scared. Instead, she laughed.
The ghost looked surprised, but then just walked back into the shadows.
We stared at the spot where the ghost was, then Zoey, then the ghosts spot, then Zoey.
"You guys should have seen the looks on your faces!" Zoey laughed "And the way April jumped into Donnie's arms was hilarious!" Zoey erupted into laughter.
"What?" I asked and turned.
April, now with a red face had jumped into Donnie's arms. Like they do in Scooby Doo. Donnie was blushing and he set April down.
We continued foward.
"I guess you're not so tough now Raph!" Laughed Zoey
Raph growled. "I was just testing you." Raph said, "I was just pretending to be sca-"
There was another jump scare. Raph screamed, followed by everyone else, who hugged each other in fear.
Zoey laughed even more.
I groaned. "This is going to be a long night." I said
We left the Test Of Courage, Zoey laughed through the whole thing.
The rest of us would have a hard time sleeping that night.
We trick or treated for a while longer, but soon it grew very late and we all had to go back to the lair.
April sighed. "I'm too sleepy to just go home." She said "I'm telling Aunt Agatha that I'm sleeping over at a friend's house."
April pulled out her phone.
"Goodbye sweet dreams." I said
I lay on the floor.
Zoey sat next to me. "How was that scary?" She asked
"You have no idea." I said and smiled
"Let's see." I said and sat up "I don't feel ready for bed."
"I dunno." Raph said and stretched from side to side. "I'm ready to hit the hay."
"No wait!" Said Zoey "Let's at least watch a horror movie or two."
"What?" Said Leo
"Yeah." Said Zoey "My movies are in the room. I can get them and we can watch a few."
I yawned.
"Fine." Said Leo "But just a few."
Jumpscares were everywhere in the movies we watched.
The first one was called "The Squirrels"
Despite the name, the movie was horrifying...for most of us anyways.
Zoey laughed.
There were times when April and I just screamed so loud we hugged someone close to us. April sat next to Donnie, so...
Eventually, everyone (except Zoey) kept screaming and hugging one another.
Mikey had no one to hug, he was pretty isolated where he chose to sit, he hid under a pillow until the scary parts were over, which they rarely were.
And after one movie ended, we saw another. And another.
Around the middle of the third scary movie, Zoey wanted some popcorn.
Zoey got up. "Brb." She said to the rest of us.
"I'm coming with you!" Said Mikey
"No thanks." Said Zoey "I'm good."
Zoey left, but Mikey sat next to me in her place.
Then, the movie got very suspenseful. The main character was walking in a dark hall. I knew the antagonist would pop up out of nowhere.
I tried covering my eyes.
The suspense was killing me.
I didn't want to see.
Everyone shielded their eyes...and then.
"HEY GUYS! I GOT THE POPCORN!" Zoey burst as she walked into the room.
Everyone screamed.
After a second, I just flicked off the TV.
"That's enough for tonight." I said
"Guys." Said Mikey "I think I wet my shell."
"Are you sure we have to sleep in the den?" Asked Zoey
"Well." I said "After what we've been through tonight, it's hard to sleep in our own rooms. You can leave if you want."
"Nah." Said Zoey "This is cool."
Everyone was almost asleep.
I snuggled into my sleeping bag.
I yawned.
"Night Zoey." I said
"Night." Said Zoey
Then, we heard a faint scratching. I'm sure everyone's hearts stopped for a second.
"Zoey!" We all yelled.
"Fine." Zoey laughed "I'll stop!"
I can say a lot about how I felt making this chapter, but I'll save you the long description and just say it was fun. I hope everyone has a fun halloween, and if you don't celebrate halloween, I hope you liked this chapter anyways. I added lots of things from anime and Charlie Brown. It was so much fun to write this because of all of the refrence I used from other things like Vocaloid. And i hope everyone reviews. Bye!
