OK so this is probably the last chapter...of 2015. So I'll see you Princes and Princesses in 2016.

37: Exploring Halloweentown.

Ben, after a few hours of the meeting, was brought out of the chambers being held by Mayor Dalloway. "I really wish I was a warlock." Ben laughed.

"It can be fun. I remember the years I didn't have magic." Ethan Dalloway said, memerizing the days years ago.

"I still don't see why you had to give up yours by force if your father did all the bad things."

"I was just being a good son and following his footsteps I guess." Ethan shrugged. "At least before senior year of college ended, with my brother-in-law's help, I managed to convince the council of Halloweentown to give back the Dalloway magic to me since I really didn't help dad in his plans, I just sort of knew about them."

"And saved Halloweentown several times." Ben added with a chuckle. "Well glad turned out well."

"Sure did," Ethan smiled and glanced down at his wedding ring. "I've gotta go back to the office but feel free to take a tour if you want before heading home. Want me to get a tour guide?"

"No thanks. I like exploring on my own." Ben smiled. "Thanks though."

Soon after that Ben was off on his own to explore Halloweentown. He walked abouts the town looking at the stores and food places in the town as well as the many vast creatures that lived here. All of them so different from one another in shape, size and color. The weather was a bit cold, but it felt like the October weather. That perfect weather that was crisp, not too cold but still cold enough for a light jacket. The leaves were red, orange, yellow, brown, gold, Spring green and some bare naked! The ones that had leaves; a lot of them rested in the tree and the rest of them were on the streets that were mostly made of cobbler, but flat too.

A couple of people greeted him and, strangly, Ben was surprised when nobody reacted to who he was specfically. Not that he cared really and- honestly- he didn't care if they knew of his background so much. But most people at first sight knew who he was and began going wild when they were face-to-face with King Ben of Auradon. He smelled something delicious. It had a sort of caramel and pumpkin fragrance, yet a hint of honey too. What was it?

Ben followed the smell to a kiosk stand where there were donuts baking over a fire. Some of them pumpkin flavored and some of them caramel flavored. But both were laced with sweet honey added, with sugar and cinnamon as topping options too. Ben inhaled the delicious smell and exhaled. "This smells awesome!" He smiled. He looked up at the mummy and asked how much two of them were. On October first of Halloweentown all foods and drinks were given out for free to celebrate the month of October and welcoming Halloween early. Ben took the two plus an apple cider.

He took a bite into one of the pumpkin flavor doughnuts and nearly fell to his knees. These were a hundred times better than the ones back in Auradon that the cooks made in the autumn season. He chased down the food with a gulp of the apple cider and he wanted to just die and go to heaven right there. Oh shit these were just too appetizing top eat slowly. He wanted to chow all this down in seconds.

He did so. In about three minutes of getting the doughnuts and the apple cider drink, Ben had devoured the whole snack.

He walked a bit further and passed a movie theater that had the two current movies playing; Dreadwoods of Fair, Bloody Moonlight Wolves and the second one made him stop and stare at the words. Fairy Vindictive Malevolent.

The post read the summary as some fairy that holds everyone hostile until they learn the true meaning of beauty or something silly like that. But it wasn't the details of the movie it was the first word of the title and the first three letters of the last word that caught his attention. Fairy Mal. Backwards it was Mal Fairy. And changing the words around for the last word, such as getting rid of the 'I' and replacing it with an 'E' and then switch the 'E' and the 'A' and the name would be Faery. Mal Faery.

Ben's Mal Faery.

Suddenly Ben felt a strange urge to throw up. "Ugh. I ate that food too quickly!" He held his stomach. Be barfed a little bit, hitting the ground, then turned to the movie theater and ran inside to find the boys bathroom.
