((A/N: This is halloween , this is halloween, this is the Halloween Specciiiial! Does not count as one of the so beautiful days in the fic, so calm down and read, because there are still four more left after this. I. LOVE. HALLOWEEN. SO. SPOOKING. MUCH.))

WARNING: If you are easily frightened, I do not advice you to read the bold parts of this chapter. If you want to read anyway, please do not complain to me if you couldn't sleep, because I'll probably laugh (because I laugh at every single thing, and don't take anything seriously), and I don't want readers I love mad at me.

Even if I personally don't think of these stories as really scary ones, I get not everyone is or feels the same.

Thirty one, October.

It was a stormy, dark night, that halloween.

An absolutely not obvious nor typical one.

Makarov's genious idea, was, of course, to do a costume party. Everyone celebrated, almost nobody did not attend, Gildarts and some others who were at a mission were the only ones who did. And of all those who did come, nobody forgot their disguise.

Everyone in the guild stayed in due to the strong storm outside. At first some turned their faces to Juvia and her scary broken porcelain doll disguise, wondering if she was the reason that keep everyone and Gray in, but she shook her head quickly, denying all accusations, but she was a bit grateful to the storm for letting her stay with her Gray-sama next to her more time. And mostly now that he was dressed up as El Zorro. After losing some clothes, he was left with only the hat, sword, mask and pants.

Where did his black shirt and shoes go? No one knew.

"Happy halloween, everyone!" said through the microphone Mirajane, earning cheers from Fairy tail's members. There were a couple of chairs right next to her, but everyone ignored them. Dressed up as a vampire queen, she giggled at the playful whistles from her partners. "I hope all of you are having a really spooky night! As you can see, we can't leave the building due to the storm, and to make things even better, it's time for the stories! For it, our most avid readers, Levy and Lucy!" And cheers were heard once more.

"Go Luce!" shouted Natsu, who was dressed as a ninja, from his sit not far from the scenario.

"Levy's the best!" shouted Jet and Droy from their places, being the front and the back of an uneven horse, yet were currently separated.

The pink head growled at the two of them, making them shut up. Lucy, who was dressed as a witch, walked first, remembering her last time on this scenario, dressed as a bunny, shaking the thoughts off, she ran her hands down her black dress that showed her curves nervously.

She was followed by the pirate-dressed Levy, who waved slightly at her fellow partners and gave them a smile. She searched for Gajeel in the crowd, but wasn't able to find him. She sighed and looked at Mirajane who was grinning at both of them, her vampire fangs showing.

"Who's going to go first?" asked the vampire Mirajane.

"Me" announced Levy, rising her hand.

"Give Levy a round of applause, people!" exclaimed Mira.

Cheers were heard through the storm, Levy smiled and stood in front of the microphone. "Okay, this story is one I heard in a mission, I hope you enjoy it"

A married couple were going out for the evening and called in a teenage babysitter to take care of their three children. When she arrived they told her they probably wouldn't be back until late, and that the kids were already asleep so she needn't disturb them.

The babysitter starts doing her homework while awaiting a call from her boyfriend. After awhile the communication lacrima rings. She answers it, but hears no one on the other end — just silence, then whoever it is hangs up. After a few more minutes the communication lacrima rings again. She answers, and this time there's a man on the line who says, in a chilling voice, "Have you checked the children?"

Click.

At first she thinks it might have been the father calling to check up and he got interrupted, so she decides to ignore it. She goes back to her homework, then the communication lacrima rings again. "Have you checked the children?" says the creepy voice on the other end.

"Mr. Murphy?" she asks, but the caller hangs up again.

She decides to phone the restaurant where the parents said they'd be dining, but when she asks for Mr. Murphy she is told that he and his wife had left the restaurant 45 minutes earlier. So she calls the police and reports that a stranger has been calling her and hanging up. "Has he threatened you?" the dispatcher asks. No, she says. "Well, there's nothing we can really do about it. You could try reporting the prank caller to the company."

"Why won't he just freaking help her!?" shouted a frustrated Cana, rolling her eyes.

A few minutes go by and she gets another call. "Why haven't you checked the children?" the voice says.

"Who is this?" she asks, but he hangs up again. She dials 911 again and says, "I'm scared. I know he's out there, he's watching me."

"Have you seen him?" the dispatcher asks. She says no. "Well, there isn't much we can do about it," the dispatcher says. The babysitter goes into panic mode and pleads with him to help her. "Now, now, it'll be okay," he says. "Give me your number and street address, and if you can keep this guy on the communication lacrima for at least a minute we'll try to trace the call. What was your name again?"

"Linda."

"Okay, Linda, if he calls back we'll do our best to trace the call, but just keep calm. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes," she says, and hangs up. She decides to turn the lights down so she can see if anyone's outside, and that's when she gets another call.

"It's me," the familiar voice says. "Why did you turn the lights down?"

"Can you see me?" she asks, panicking.

"Yes," he says after a long pause.

"Look, you've scared me," she says. "I'm shaking. Are you happy? Is that what you wanted?"

"No."

"Then what do you want?" she asks.

Another long pause. "Your blood. All over me."

She breaks the connection, terrified. Almost immediately it rings again. "Leave me alone!" she screams, but it's the dispatcher calling back. His voice is urgent.

"Linda, we've traced that call. It's coming from another room inside the house. Get out of there! Now!"

She tears to the front door, attempting to unlock it and dash outside, only to find the chain at the top still latched. In the time it takes her to unhook it she sees a door open at the top of the stairs. Light streams from the children's bedroom, revealing the profile of a man standing just inside.

She finally gets the door open and bursts outside, only to find a cop standing on the doorstep with his gun drawn. At this point she's safe, of course, but when they capture the intruder and drag him downstairs in handcuffs, she sees he is covered in blood. Come to find out, all three children have all been murdered.

The guild wasn't sure if they should clap or not, as the story didn't have the nicest of endings. They decided to clap anyway, to celebrate how Levy told the story.

Natsu shook his head, "Poor children"

"Yeah.." said Lissanna, next to him, a sad look on her face that didn't exactly match her Little Mermaid costume.

"Okay, okay, now, time for Lucy's story!" said cheerfully Mirajane.

Cheers were heard again and Levy sat down not long before Lucy did the same after getting the chair closer to the microphone, thinking she didn't want to stay standing up the whole story, "Alright, guys, this story was told to me by one of my friends long time ago, I hope you find it creepy"

Once there was a a beautiful young girl who lived in a small town just south of Farmersburg. Her parents had to go to town for a while, so they left their daughter home alone, but protected by her dog, which was a very large Collie. The parents told the girl to lock all the windows and doors after they had left. And at about 8:00pm the parents went to town. So doing what she was told the girl shut and locked every window and every door. But there was one window in the basement that would not close completely-"

"Well, shit" was heard around the guild, there was some laughter after that, so Lucy smiled and continued.

Trying as best as she could she finally got the window shut, but it would not lock. So she left the window, and went back upstairs. But just to make sure that no one could get in, she put the dead-bolt lock on the basement door.

Then she sat down had some dinner and decided to go to sleep for the night. Settling down to sleep at about 12:00 she snuggled up with the dog and fell asleep.

But at one point, she suddenly woke up. She turned and looked at the clock...it was 2:30. She snuggled down again wondering what had woken her...when she heard a noise. It was a dripping sound. She thought that she had left the water running, and now it was dripping into the drain of her sink. So thinking it was no big deal she decided to go back to sleep.-"

Some murmurs of disapproval were heard around the guild.

But she felt nervous so she reached her hand over the edge of her bed, and let the dog lick her hand for reassurance that he would protect her.

Again at about 3:45 she woke up hearing dripping. She was slightly angry now but went back to sleep anyway. Again she reached down and let the dog lick her hand. Then she fell back to sleep.

At 6:52 the girl decided that she had had enough...she got up just in time to see her parents were pulling up to the house.

"Good,"she thought. "Now somebody can fix the sink...'cause I know I didn't leave it running." She walked to the bathroom and there was the Collie dog, skinned and hung up on the curtain rod.

"What the-" exclaimed Gray. Lucy rised her voice above the comments and continued,

The noise she heard was its blood dripping into a puddle on the floor. The girl screamed and ran to her bedroom to get a weapon, in case someone was still in the house...and there on the floor, next to her bed she saw a small note, written in blood, saying: HUMANS CAN LICK TOO, MY BEAUTIFUL.

Fairy tail's members clapped with a confused expression, some with an impressed one, others with a funny one, laughing about the story, because, well, some found it that way?

One moment later, the lights were off.

Screams were heard the second they did. Erza, who was eating a purple-coloured strawberry cake kept eating it as nothing had happened. She was dressed as a half skeleton, but that didn't bother her as she ate, so she was fine with it.

Juvia took hold of Gray's left arm, hugging it tightly, making him roll his eyes, yet with a entertained smile, because he knew two things, one, Juvia was pretending to be scared, and two, she was obviously not scared of a simple thing such as darkness or thunder.

Lucy and Levy laughed, the thought and the lights are out, obviously, crossed their minds at the same time, reminding them of an old fashioned horror story.

Wendy, dressed in a night gown (considering she was in a hurry when she realized she had to get a disguise), looked at Romeo who was dressed as Peter Pan, and simple smiled at each other when Romeo lit some regular fire up, lighting things around them only.

"aaaAAAAh!" a scream was heard all around the guild, out of surprise, the fire Romeo had recently created disappeared.

Then, another one followed.

And the lights went on.

Both Lucy and Levy were gone, and standing on the scenario was instead Aries (really blushed one) and Leo. Aries was dressed as Alice, from Alice in Wonderland, and Leo as the Mad Hatter.

"Loki!" exclaimed Gray, "What are you doing here? Where is Lucy?"

"I've always shipped those two.." muttered Mirajane when she saw their customes, a smile on her face, vampire fangs visible for everyone around.

"Lucy and Levy were kidnapped, so that's what we came to say" Leo started, and walked behind Aries.

"Find them-" and right before she could shriek her 'I'm sorry!' Leo covered her mouth, to keep the mystery, as requested.

"Before sunrise,

find the black magic user,

not doing so would be unwise,

nobody can be only a viewer.

Search for the queen of thieves,

on someone you should count on,

and this I mean,

don't go outside the door,

and find them,

before halloween reaches it's end"

"What the hell was that, Loki?! Where are Lucy and Levy?" shouted Gray, standing up.

The Mad hatter smirked at his friend, and uncovered Aries mouth to grab his hat and give a small reverence before they both disappeared.

"They should be around here, right?" said Lisanna, turning to look at Natsu, except he wasn't there. "Where's Natsu?!" she exclaimed.

"The Flame Brain must've taken them" Gray said, rolling his eyes. "Guys, come out from wherever you are!"

No answer.

"Maybe Lucy-san and Levy-san are really gone" said Juvia. "Juvia thinks everyone should follow the rules of the game"

"Game?" exclaimed Romeo.

"Well, Loki-san gave explicit rules, search for the black magic user, that would be Lucy-san, because she was dressed as a witch and for the queen of thieves, that should be Levy-san, who was dressed as a pirate. Everyone has to search, because Loki-san said 'no viewers'. Then, don't go outside the door, that means they are inside the building, right?"

Gray blinked at Juvia, who'd said she was so attentive to details? He wasn't even paying attention to what he was saying. "Ehm, sure"

"Oh! And Loki-san also said 'on someone you should count on', so everyone should probably go in couples. Juvia likes to think of it as a searching game" she nodded happily, she looked like she was enjoying the mystery.

"Juvia is so manly!" exclaimed Elfman, who was dressed as a gorilla, because, obviously, they were manly as well.

"Juvia is.. manly?" she repeated, and then a smile blossomed on her face, "Juvia is thankful, Elfman-san!" she said, knowing he meant good.

"Well, let's start searching for those two mystery queens and stupid Match head" stated Gray, "Everyone split up in two and search around the guild for the three of them"

"Juvia believes Gajeel might be in this too!"

"Maybe four, then" Gray added, and helped Juvia up and walked next to her as the crowd in the guild spread, and without words they remained together for the search.

Side by side, both of them walked towards the library, where Juvia sugested Lucy and Levy would be, considering their love for books. "So, you into this kind of things?" asked Gray as they walked there.

"Very much! Juvia has loved puzzles since she was a child!" she declared, "oh, wait, does Gray-sama not like them? Will he hate Juvia because she does? But she loves them so muc-"

"Juvia it's fine. I wouldn't hate you because you like something" She sighed in relief. "It's just I find mystery a bit stupid, I like to just know things. You know?"

Juvia giggled, "It does sound like something Gray-sama would say. But Juvia likes it because she thinks that everything is a bit mysterious. Why is the colour purple that tone? No one knows, but the mystery of it makes it beautiful"

Meanwhile, Lisanna, who had lost her pair when Natsu disappeared, stayed with Bixlow, who didn't have a pair either. Lisanna was mentally complaining about her costume, and glanced at Bixlow's, who was dressed as a rock star, his did look comfortable. She sighed and Bixlow glanced at her. "That costume looks uncomfortable"

"That costume looks uncomfortable!" "That costume looks uncomfortable!" "That costume probably is uncomfortable!" repeated the little dolls around him.

"Well, it is" replied Lissanna, wishing she could take the dress off.

"Why don't you take it off, then?"

"Why don't you just take it off then?" "Take it off!" "Why?" "Why?" repeated the dolls.

"Take it off?!" repeated Lissanna as well, only with shock in her voice and red on her cheeks. "No way!"

"Why not?" he asked, rising one eyebrow.

"Why not?" "Why?" "Why not?"

The white haired blinked, Is this guy even worse than Natsu?! "Ehm, maybe because you are here? Maybe because you are a guy and somewhat of a stranger?"

"Actually not a stranger, y'know? You know me for a while now"

"While now!" "Not a stranger!" "You know me!" shouted the little dolls, that sounded... offended?

"Yeah, I do, but we don't really talk... You know?"

After that, silence ruled the hall.

Damn, maybe I shouldn't have said that, is he offended? thought Lissanna. She glanced at Bixlow, who, coincidencially was glancing at her as well, they both turned to the front.

...

In the list of "some others who were at a mission" at the time was Laxus, who somehow was able to get in a mission without the Thunder God Tribe (not that he didn't want them there, it was just that he wanted to be alone... for some time), and Ever (obviously dressed as a fairy queen) was with Elfman, Bixlow with Lissanna, Mirajane found herself with Freed.

It's not that she didn't like him, or something, it was just that... He was way too close to Laxus. And she just didn't like that... Because she knew Laxus wasn't into that... Or at least that's what she thought and that was the aura he gave everyone, but she was quite sure of it, but what if- She sighed as she walked up the stairs with the green haired. "Something wrong, Mirajane?"

She shook her head, "No, nothing wrong"

They were checking upstairs, checking for secret paths, of which Mirajane had told Freed she was pretty sure Makarov had placed somewhere around here. "Are you sure? You are sighing quite a bit"

"I'm sure, Freed, don't worry"

"All right"

"It's just that-" she started to say, "No, nevermind" she shook her head.

He shrugged, "Okay", he continued to check on the books of the shelves.

On the other side of the room, she was doing the same thing. She bit her lip, not sure if she should ask or not, and what if it wasn't as she thought and he got offended, and that's not something she wants, although by the way he acts around the lightning dragon slayer you can easily- She sighed again, biting her lip harder.

"Would you just tell-" Are you in love with Laxus?" they both exclaimed at the same time.

"What?!" shouted Freed, his cheeks as red as Erza's hair.

"It's just the way you act has got me wondering, you know.." said Mira.

"N-No! No, no, no!" he shook his head, "It's just pure admiration!"

Mira sighed in relief. "Okay, sorry if that offended you or something of the sort"

"Uh, it is okay"

...

Back to Juvia and Gray, they had arrived at the library, and they found something else other than the many books, a note.

It was Lucy's writing, Gray noticed (he had read her novel, too), and it clearly said,

Close, you are close,

this riddle you'll have to solve,

to find us.

" I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for more than 5 minutes. What am I?"

"Should we call the others?" asked Gray.

"No! Juvia wants to solve it! Juvia wants to solve it!" she exclaimed, acting a bit childish. She sat down on one of many tables and after rolling his eyes slightly, Gray went to sit next to her. "I'm light as a feather... Yet the strongest man can't hold me for more..." she repeated, playing with a lock of her head with a look of concentration on her face.

She looks cute, Gray thought, a half smile on his face. He then shook his head as another thought striked, We are searching for those stupid four! Concentrate.

She bit her lip, "... five minutes..." her look lightened, "Oh! Juvia knows! Juvia knows! Breath! The answer is breath"

"Oooh.." nodded Gray, "We should look for a book about the human body, then, since the note was in the library"

"Right!" she stood up and walked towards the book shelves, but stopped midway and turned around, "Thanks for letting Juvia solve the riddle, this is fun"

Gray shrugged, "Sure. I knew you could"

She smiled brightly and continued to search for the book.

It didn't take that much time to do so, actually, "Okay, breathing system..." she opened the book, scanning through the pages. Standing right next to her, Gray was looking at the pages too.

"Here" he pointed, stopping her. There was something written there. M - 134. "M 134?"

"M.. A... C... D?" asked Juvia, looking at Gray.

"Don't think so"

"Hm, maybe a book, again?"

"Maybe"

Juvia smiled and checked on the shelf below the books they were checking before. "Here says S -123. This section is Science, so M is for... Mature?" she asked, her cheeks turning red as thoughts flowed her mind.

"I don't really think so. Or at least hope so- Hey! hey!" he suddenly exclaimed, snapping his fingers on her face, seeing she was leaving towards Fantasy Land, "I need you with me, okay, no, not the best words choice, pay attention, is what I meant"

"A-Alright"

"Okay, maybe M stands for Mystery. I don't really think we have that kind of books here anyway, considering there are kids here. Let's look for that"

And Gray was actually right. M was for Mystery. But the 134 was missing.

"You've got to be kidding me." sighed Gray. Juvia searched for something there and found a key.

One of Lucy's keys.

"What? Lucy-san's...?" Juvia exclaimed right before it started glowing.

"Juvia watch out!"

She dropped the key to the floor and stood back, when one celestial spirit appeared.

Virgo stood there with her cold look, dressed as kitten. "Hello"

"Uhm, hi Virgo..?"

"the Princess told me to tell you, 'the 135 is the entrance, but only one can get through', bye for now"

"What do you mean by-" And... she was gone. "Damn it"

Juvia grabbed the key and put it in her pocket, "Juvia's going, then. Will Gray-sama be okay?"

"What? No, you are not"

"Gray-sama knows Juvia is completely capable of protecting herself, plus, these are Lucy-san and Levy-san's plans, they wouldn't hurt any of us"

"Ah.. Right, you are right"

She smiled sweetly, "Thanks for worrying, Gray-sama"

"Yeah, sure"

After hesitating, Juvia kissed Gray on the cheek, "Juvia will be leaving, then"

Blink. Blink again. "Eh, Good Luck" said Gray, reacting.

She giggled and took the book next to the 134 hole. Nothing happened. She turned it around and opened it.

"That's weird, nothing happened-"

"Juvia? Juvia, where are you?!" suddenly exclaimed Gray, looking right through her, like she wasn't even there.

"Gray-sama?" she said, waving her hand right in front of him. He stepped forward, and passed through her hand. "What?" slipped through her throat, and retreated her hand inmediately.

"The book had a spell" suddenly said a voice, turning around, Juvia found the four they had been searching.

"Rain Woman, you are really good with puzzles" said Gajeel, dressed as usual.

"Juvia is thankful but confused as well, could Lucy-san or Levy-san explain?"

They were both sitting on the same table Juvia and Gray had been, both were smiling, "Oh, it was just that we wanted to know how good everyone's detective abilities were"

"Really?"

They nodded, "Yeah, pretty much, if those two were playing, they would have easily realized, due to their smelling abilities"

"What about Wendy-san?"

"Oh..." they both realized.

"She's busy with Romeo" finally waved it off Lucy.

"What is this spell?"

"Oh, it's just a invisibility spell, it lasts until halloween ends, unless someone found us and then we unmake it." said Levy.

"But how is it that my hand passed through Gray sama?"

"I don't know... Levy?" Lucy turned to her best friend.

"I'll check" she replied, going to the books.

"And what were you doing all this time?" asked Juvia, looking at Natsu and Gajeel with a frown as they were laughing at Gray, mostly Natsu.

"Just looking how all of you were doing"

"Oh god, Juvia you should have seen the look on Freed's face when Mirajane asked if he was into Laxus" laughed Natsu. Lucy giggled at the thought

"And the look on Lissanna's when Bixlow told her to take her costume off" Juvia's cheeks reddened when she told Lucy told her this.

...

Time went by, after asking to be returned to normal, Juvia went back to her Gray-sama, along with all of them. Everyone got together on the entrance, and the storm was disappearing, leaving a clear night sky.

After some complaining of pissed off people, not many, but those who were were really, really pissed off. Everybody then laughed about it, talked about their own experiences, and the four of the once missing ones congrated Gray and Juvia for finding them, mostly Juvia, but well, and Levy secretly gave Juvia the book as a present.

But how she used it is a story for another halloween.

((A/N: That's it, and even if it's a little late, and it's no longer halloween but christmas, I had to post it. Hoped you enjoyed it, it wasn't scary, but more like an extra for fun. But don't worry, I know how to get my scary mood, yet considering this general story is not that way, I didn't want to mix things up.

Question/s for Review: How did you spend your Halloween? Did you celebrate it? Were you the one disguised or the one who gave the candy? If you were disguised, what was your costume?))
