Hiya everyone! Guess what oneshot I'm throwing at you this time; A living parents AU! (The title of this story is very much based on the title of season 2 episode 2 of Stranger Things).

Anyway, in this living parents AU, the Baudelaires and Quagmires have known each other for a very long time. It's halloween and they are going out trick or treating together. There's no Olaf, no unfortunate events, and they know about their parents' past and the V.F.D.

Ages: Violet=13, Triplets=12, Klaus=11 (Sunny's not going with them).

But before we start I have to respond to reviews of course.

VeronicaWeasley - Of course Oliver's cute, all the kids are. If I'm speaking for myself, I'm kinda loving the triplets most, but everyone's amazing. Also, thank you! I'll definitely have fun, but first I had to write this chapter.

Uno - Now I will definitely make a maybe three-four part Italy story. And the Carmelita trying to ruin it for them idea was wonderful. I'll certainly write that.

Now to the story!


"Violet, Klaus! The Quagmires are here!" Beatrice shouted up the staircase.

Violet and Klaus quickly came running down.

"Oh, you two look amazing," Beatrice commented.

"Thanks mom," Violet smiled, looking down at her costume.

She was dressed as a woman escapee from an insane asylum, and Klaus was a man with hooks for hands. Duncan, Quigley and Isadora of course had costumes too.

"Wow, that's good costume!" Klaus pointed at Quigley and Duncan's costume.

"That's good. It took forever to make," Duncan said.

"They complained a lot," Isadora whispered.

"But now it's worth it, see," Quigley said, showing off the costume as good as he could.

He and Duncan wore a costume together. They were dressed as Siamese twins; two heads, one body.

"We've already had to redo it twice already," Duncan snorted.

"It's been real fun to watch," Isadora laughed to herself.

She was dressed as a contortionist, and luckily for her; she was actually pretty flexible. Not double-jointed, or as extreme as some people, but she could do some things. Enough to fit her halloween costume at least.

Beatrice smiled at the group.

"Now you all go out, and have lots and lots of fun!"

"We will, mother," Violet waved goodbye to Beatrice as the group of five went out the front door.

She closed the door behind them, and ran down the steps along with the others.

"So where do we go first?" Quigley used his one hand to unfold a map of the closest blocks.

"The Wheeler's always have good candy," Klaus pointed to a house marked with a star.

"What about Ms. Tucker? She has the best fruit jellies," Isadora's eyes turned dreamy for a second.

"Ew, no. Fruit jellies are gross," Duncan shook his head.

"Then we go to the Wheeler's," Violet decided.

The others nodded in agreement, and they started walking towards the next block.

"How's walking?" Violet giggled, seeing Duncan and Quigley's struggles.

"Hard."

"I'm falling out of balance every two seconds, so that's that."

"Well, you certainly look like circus freaks," Isadora chuckled.

"So do all of you," Quigley stated, and the others couldn't do anything but agree.

"I see you're struggling as well, Klaus," Isadora turned her head to her friend on the left.

Klaus nodded. The hooks he had for hands made it really hard to carry the pumpkin bucket.

"Can one of you take candy for me?" he asked.

"Only if I can eat it as well," Quigley joked, but Klaus just sighed at him.

"I'll help you, Klaus," Isadora said, smiling at him.

"Thanks, Izzie."

"No problem. I'm just... volunteering."

They laughed for a few seconds before they reached Handler Street.

"Last one there has to give candy to the others when we get home!" Isadora shouted, and started running.

Klaus and Violet were quick to run after her, and in a few seconds they were outside the Wheelers' villa. They turned around and watched as Quigley and Duncan struggled to catch up.

"You rigged that, right?" Klaus asked.

Isadora chuckled, and nodded.

"Now you both have to give us candy!" she shouted to her brothers.

"Izzie, that's not fair" Duncan said when they reached the other three.

"Well, is life fair?" Isadora asked.

"Don't get dramatic," Violet snorted. "Let's just get the candy, alright?"

"Alright," the others agreed.

They walked up the small pebble path, and Klaus rung the doorbell. They quickly heard steps from inside, and soon the door was opened by a teenage girl.

"Trick or treat!?" the children shouted, and the girl laughed.

"I'm guessing you want a treat, freaks," she smiled at them.

"We do. Both because it's good, and because we don't have a trick to pull," Isadora informed, while the others nodded.

"Then I guess I'll get you some candy" the girl turned around and sprinted into a room beside the hall.

Twenty seconds later she returned to the hall, carrying a big bowl of candy.

"So what do you guys want? Skittles, Nerds, Hershey's, fruit roll-ups, rock candy. We even got some warheads this year," she said while blending around the contents in the bowl.

"I'll take that," Quigley grabbed a few warheads.

The others went on to take what they wanted.

"Thanks Cara," Violet said as they stepped away from the door.

"No problem Quagmire and Baudelaire freaks!"

The children and Cara waved goodbye to each other.

"What did I tell you, the Wheelers have the best candy," Klaus said.

"Can't deny it," Duncan answered.

"Can we please go to Ms. Tucker! She lives right across the street," Isadora begged, pointing to a house.

The others exchanged a quick glance.

"Fine," Duncan decided.

Isadora lit up, and ran there in advance. The others followed as she rung the doorbell.

"Trick or treat, Miss Tucker?" Isadora smiled widely.

Ms. Tucker smiled at her, and they had a quick little conversation before she handed Isadora her fruit jellies. Without hesitation, Isadora put three of them in her mouth.

"Mmmmmm, this is heaven on earth," she breathed.

"Can we continue now?" Quigley asked. "This house is worthless for everyone except you, Izzie."

The others agreed, and they walked down Handler Street.

"Let's not go there. They only have licorice," Duncan decided, death glaring at a house.

"Then we're definitely not going there," Violet agreed.

"We can go to that lady on Griffiths Street," Klaus suggested.

"The one who gives out cookies?" Isadora asked, and Klaus nodded.

"Oh, yes!" Quigley quickly agreed. "I love her cookies!"

"Bet you would, Cakesniffers!" a very intimidate voice shouted from behind.

The group of friends turned around, sighing. There stood Carmelita, with a few friends behind her, which looked more like lifeguards. She was dressed as some weird type of fairy princess-thing.

"Carmelita Spats," Violet sighed again.

"Cakesniffing Baudelaires and Quagmires."

The two groups were silent for a moment.

"Why are you here, Carmelita?" Duncan asked after about half a minute.

"I'm getting all the candy," Carmelita explained as if she was talking to two-year-olds.

"You can't get all the candy," Isadora pointed out.

"Yes I can," Carmelita snapped. "I'm too adorable to turn down!"

"I already have," Quigley whispered.

Carmelita gasped; she had obviously heard.

"Explain to that Cakesniffer how adorable I am!" she ordered.

Her four lifeguards quickly stepped forward.

"Look at her costume."

"Do you see her hair?"

"Look at her adorable face."

"See her tap shoes?"

"Oh... The tap shoes," Klaus looked away.

"Yes!" Carmelita shouted. "They're back, Cakesniffer."

She kicked her feet around for a short moment, spreading the annoying sound.

"Would you stop that?" Isadora interrupted.

Carmelita immediately took a step back in shock. For a few seconds she looked like she was about to snap back something, but then she just crossed her arms, and stormed away.

"Should we just continue trick or treating?" Klaus asked, and the others agreed.

Ignoring all Carmelita's comments, they started walking to Griffiths Street to finally get their cookies


For some reason, I decided to write a halloween oneshot. Don't know why, just felt like it. I got the idea for the name while watching Stranger Things, and then I developed a quick story about the group trick or treating.

Now to the sadder stuff.

This is the last chapter I'm writing before going off to Majorca. I'm leaving tomorrow, and coming back late on Friday next week. Which means; No oneshots or chapters for a week.

It will be torture for me, not being able to write for a whole week, but then afterwards, I'll probably shower you with chapters and oneshots. Or maybe not, cause I'm gonna be watching Stranger Things 3. We'll just have to see!

Hope you liked this chapter! See you next Saturday!

Also, please review. There could be no better way to come home, than reading lots and lots of reviews immediately. Thanks for anything and everything, people!
