This is something that's been in my head for a while, but I couldn't word it properly. Hope it'll do!
To RandomFanAuthor- Of course it's how you revive people!
To HoO Fan- Thank you! ^_^
"You're such a child."
"Says the one that asked me ta come trick-or-treatin'."
"I've never been before!"
"Don't worry, Rey-Rey. We will trick-or-treat even when we're a million years old."
"So that means you'll be a ghost tormenting some poor child."
"Nooo, where are ya gettin' these ideas?" Louisa smiled impishly. Reyna sighed, tugging on her hand. "I got way more candy than you."
"You stole mine. That doesn't count."
"I took the ones you didn't like!"
"Didn't replace them though, did you?"
"You never asked. Oy, don't roll ya eyes. Ya know what I'm like." Reyna hummed in agreement. Louisa stuck her tongue out, battling to remove a sweet wrapper one-handed. Reyna could never quite take her girlfriend seriously, but less so tonight- she was dressed as a Vaporeon. Piper and her siblings helped custom make the outfit, much to Louisa's delight. But it did mean Reyna had to be a water type Pokémon trainer.
They were heading back to Louisa's home; Jessica had promised a horror movie marathon and popcorn. They had stuck to the main streets for the best part, Louisa cutting under a bypass and grumbling at her unsuccessful sweet endeavours. Reyna let her hand go, she laughed triumphantly and gorged the sweet as soon as she could. "Why didn't ya do that earlier?"
"You never asked."
"Oh, shush." Louisa blew a raspberry, starting off again, splashing through puddles. Reyna followed behind, shaking her head with a small smile. Louisa was never going to change.
She bumped into her just before the other side of the bypass. Louisa had stopped, head tilted to one side as she contemplated something. Reyna stepped to stand at her side, frowning.
A clown.
It stood, with a bloodied hammer, head also tilted with a scarlet smile. On the floor, a body, its head a wild spray of gunk and blood. A breeze whistled past them, bringing a musty smell with it.
Reyna glanced sidelong at Louisa at the same she glanced at her. A little smile tugged up the corners of Louisa's mouth, a smile Reyna was all too familiar with- pure, unbridled mischief. Reyna had to oblige.
"Vaporeon!" She yelled, flinging her arm in the direction of the clown, battle-stance in tow. "I choose you!"
Naturally, Louisa could not make the noise her Pokémon could, but she did take incredible joy in the noise she could do- she shouted. No words, just loud and challenging and shit-stirring to a whole new level. She lunged, charged the clown, fists clenched, bellowing at the top of her lungs. The clown stumbled backwards, prank back-firing, arms flailing. "Use Tidal Wave!" Reyna laughed, bouncing on the soles of her feet. The puddles responded immediately, blanketing up behind the manic Pokémon.
"It was a joke, a joke!" The clown cried. Louisa held the water back, skidding to a halt. She stayed quiet, tipping her head again. "I'm going, I'm going, I'm sorry!" He scarpered, tripping over his own feet in his haste. He scrambled up the other end of the bypass and vanished from view, whimpering.
The water fell, sloshing over Reyna's boots. Louisa spun on her heel, not changing her stance otherwise. Reyna pressed her lips together.
Louisa broke first, bursting into peals of laughter. Reyna followed suit, doubling over, hands on her knees.
"Again, again!"
"As tempting as that is, your mother is waiting for us."
"Oh, she'll understand. Actually, she might even want ta join in." Louisa mused. Reyna shook her head, collecting Louisa's bucket.
"Here you go, you loon." She snickered. Louisa did not take her bucket, eyeing Reyna suspiciously. "If we find anymore before we get there, we'll get them." Louisa grinned, grabbing Reyna's head to blow a raspberry on her cheek.
"You're the best!"
"I know I am, now get off!"
"Nope!"
