"Where did daddy go, and why was he wearing weird clothes?" DJ asked.

"He's doing something pretty brave for him, going to a party with other dragons, and he was wearing a kimno, being a Japanese dragon, he wanted to make a good first impression, besides we're gonna have fun carving pumpkins." Kaley replied with a grin crossing her light-blue furred face at her little brother.

It was now sort of half-term or Halloween break meaning lots of fun and staying up late including their family's favourite traditions this time of year, like carving pumpkins, making the castle all spooky for Halloween or Phantom Night, as it was called in the Labyrinth which Kaleh loved because her dad wasthe best phantom ever, which heryounger sisters, Harmony and Melody agreed with along with Crystal hopimg Deadly wouldbe alright, since he sometimes foundit hard, to socialisewith other dragons.

"We're still having Phantom Night, since in the human-world, it got messed up?" Crystal asked.

"Yep, the bug can't get here, as my dad froze the portal, remember?" Kaley assured her.

"Yeah, we can have lots of fun, maybe help daddy with pranks!" DJ added makimg them smirk at his thought, seeing them excited seeing pumpkins appear in front oppear on the table in front of them, getting to work, makimg Crystal makimg an extra one for a friend who was asleep on her bed, after being up all night exploring, which Kaley understood, knowing she would love it, noticing her cousin's pumpkin lookdd like a sugar-skull, knowing she loved Dia Dos La Muertos, Day of the Dead, just as much asHalloween.

"Uncle D should be makimg the alfrenda soon for Grandpa Jareth, like he does every year, so he can visit him, Dudley and Darci." Crystal sakd softly making Kaley nod, knowimg that was a special tradition between her dad, uncle and aunt which the others didn't know about seeing Sarah there impressed, wantimg Kaley to help her with something, makimg Crystal smile, guessimg what it was.

"Hey, where's Kaley going, she didn't finish hers!" DJ said makimg Harmony and Melody exchange a look.

"She's helping with a special project that daddy, uncle Dudley and Aunt Darci do on Phantom Night involving Grandpa." Me,ody said makimg him surprised and confused, by what Melody just said, remembering what their dad had told him, that their grandfather was in the big labyrinth in the sky, but Deadly had told Harmony and Melody about their grandfather visiting on Day ofthe Dead, wondering if they shouldtell DJ, seeimg Kaley back.

"Sarah wanted help, to bring thingsdown for the alfrenda, from the attic." she told Crystal, making her grin hopimg Deadly was alright making Sarah agree, along with Dudley, knowing how shy his brother could be, besides being mischievous which Darci agreed with loving what the kids were making, knowing it was nearly bedtime for DJ, Harmony and Melody, hearing DJ ask, if she could tell them a spooky bedtime story.

"We'll see, I have to get Kimi ready for bed too." Sarah said seeing him go after his sisters.

She was inviting Jessica over to their castle, because the dark-green furred dragon girl's mother, Queen Patoca, ruler of the Dragon City had went to the same party, that her dad had went to, knowing Jessicadidn't like being on her own sometimes knowing the adults were okay with that seeing her appear in a flash of magic hugging her, makimg Kaley giggle.

"Thanks for letting me come over, it's not too much trouble, right?" Jessica said.

"It's fine, plus the dragons probably will revel through the night, so your mom will be less worried, if you're here." Kaley replied hearing Sarah from the library, leading the dragon-girl to her huge room, impressing her, seeimg Casey and Crystal join them, surprised seeing Jessica here, hearing Kaley explaining.

"Makes sense to us, as Deadly's probably having fun, or anxious." Casey said eating a cookie, as she'd helped sneak snacks to Kaley's room, without the adults noticing, since they were going to stay up all night.


"Holy cow, it's morning and dad just got home, he must've had fun last night." Kaley said seeing Jessica and Crystal agree, seeing a dishevelled and tired Deadly hearing him hiccuping and laughing, making them exchange a look knowing the adults would help, knowing DJ would be curious along with Harmony and Melody, remembering the party had been in Japan but being dragons and magical, the bug couldn't make Deadly or the other dragons sick.

"Let's hope Queen Patoca didn't have too much fun as well, like uncle D." Crystal said making Jessica agree.

They heard Deadly telling them about the party, plus stunned smelling heavy ampunts of sake off his breath, while Darci was using her healing-powers to ease his hagover before DJ, Harmony and Melody awoke, hearing him say he'd learnt an awesome trick he wanted to use on Phantom Night making Sarah anxious, about this, knowing his rep with pranks hoping it wasn't dangerous.

"Relax, it's not that crazy, plus it'll be awesome, and be back before dad visits, and happy you found the stuff, for his alfrenda as I was busy socialising and stuff." Deadly told her, making Sarah nod, saying that Dudley, Darci and Kaley had helped bring things down from the attic relieving him while drinking cffee, and had changed into pyjamas.

"At least the coffee is helping him wake up a bit, plus he's just going o sleep most of today." Dudley told them
