Isaac woke up a couple hours later. Mia was sitting by him. She beamed when she saw him wake up.
"Isaac-chan! You're awake!" She bent over to give him a hug, but he sat bolt-upright. Their heads collided in a painful second.
"Ouchie...." Mia frowned.
Isaac looked around the room frantically. "WHERE ARE THE DJINN? BARACADE THE DOORS! SEAL THE WINDOWS! THEY HAD HIGH DOSES OF SUGAR!"
Mia pushed him back on the bed. "Stop being silly, Isaac. The Wise One," She paused to snicker, "Called all the Djinn to him awhile ago. They're planning something special for Halloween... I think."
Isaac let out a breath in relief. Mia smiled. If Isaac-chan was happy, she was happy... More or less, that was how it worked.
"So, Isaac..." Mia started.
Isaac turned his head to look at her. "What?"
Mia squirmed and asked, "So... What are you thinking about doing today?"
Isaac looked at her and blinked a few times. "Uh... I was going to put up the decorations..."
Mia inwardly smiled but outwardly shook her head. "No... Garet and Menardi came over and did the decorations while you were still sleeping."
Isaac accepted the story, but why did Garet and Menardi do it? He didn't want to think about it, so he said, "What are Felix and Jenna doing?"
Mia paused. "I don't know... Wanna go over there and say 'hi'?"
Isaac shrugged. Anything would be better than to sit on the couch all day. "Sure." was all he said, but it was enough for Mia.
"Great! Let's go!" Pulling his arm, she dragged him out of the door.
They walked for a little bit, past the bridge and past Kraden's cottage when they heard whispering to their left. Now, when people whisper, that means two things.
1. It's something private
2. They don't think anyone can hear.
So, naturally, Mia and Isaac sneaked over quietly to the source of the whisperings.
"youthinkitsgone?"
"howshouldiknowsmartone?youthinkimgonnalookorsomething?"
"wellnonotexactlybutiwasthinking..."
"thinking?sincewhendoyouthink?"
"quiet!itllhearus!"
"buthowdoyouknowitseventhere?"
"justshutup,okay?"
Isaac and Mia glanced at each other. They weren't going to hear anything good. Mia, since she had the loudest voice, jumped out of the hiding space and yelled, "HELLO!" as loud as she could.
The tree in front of Mia shook violently as Ivan and Garet almost fell out of it. Below the tree... is a Jack-o'-Lantern.
Isaac frowned and stood beside Mia. "What're you two doing in that tree? Get down!"
Garet looked down at Isaac, but instead saw the Jack-o'-Lantern. He gave a small scream and tugged at Ivan's cloak. Ivan looked down as well and sourly pointed out that "it" had found them.
Isaac sighed. "Excuse me for asking, but have you gone MAD???!!!"
Ivan smiled innocently. "Nope." He and Garet then proceeded to cautiously climb down on the far side of the tree. A few seconds of silence passed.
Without warning, Garet leaped out from behind the tree and Cycle Beamed the pumpkin in the distance, which turned into a pretty, shiny star right before the Adepts couldn't see it anymore.
Garet grinned triumphantly and yelled. "It's okay, Ivan! It's gone now!"
Ivan peeked around the tree suspiciously and walked back to the rest of the group. He frowned at Isaac and Mia. "What're you two doing here?"
Mia beamed. "We're off to see Jenna and Felix! Wanna come along?"
Ivan was about to refuse, but Garet punched him in the arm. "Okay. Whatever."
They walked a little ways in silence. Ivan was still acting paranoid. Isaac broke the silence. "Garet?"
Garet hmmed, signaling Isaac to continue.
"Thanks for helping with the decorations at my house. Oh, and if you see Menardi, tell her I said 'thanks' too."
Garet stopped walking. Ivan had a look of twisted confirmation on his face. "I never did..."
Mia stammered. "But.. I saw... You and Menardi... You... HUH?!" The last word had a severe increase in octave and volume.
Ivan nodded, his face set in a grim smile. "I was right... I knew it."
Isaac wanted to hurt Ivan. "What are you talking about, Ivan?"
Ivan stayed silent.
The four Adepts hurried along to Jenna and Felix's house. Mia was humming "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" in a high soprano. Garet just hummed a harmony that sounded like nails scratching on a chalk-board.
The Adepts finally got to the bottom of the insanely long steps. Jenna and Felix were fighting with their Psynergy. The male Adepts immediately sat down and watched intently. Mia just mumbled things about "stupid boys except my Isaac-chan."
Jenna looked like she was loosing pretty badly. Felix just kept grimly fighting. But then the adepts saw something else that disturbed them. Actually, two things.
Number one: Around the corner of their house, another Felix and Jenna were battling.
Number two: The Jack-o'-Lantern was perched at the top of the steps.

Sorry that Mia's so ditzy and stupid! It's really hard not to make her that way in this fic! ^^; My deepest apologies to all her fans... Specially my friend... Whose name is ALSO Mia. =D
Gee... I seem to make a lot of apologies... Hmm... Oh well! Anyways, this fic is straying from humor, idn't it? Oh well. It's hard. I had to adjust the plot to compensate for some errors on my part, and it's gonna be hard to make that humorous. So, I'm trying me best anyways!!! ^^;
Hmm... Maybe I should make a new fanfic outta this and just come up with some other strange plot for Halloween? I don't think so, but it's up to you (the reader). Because I can just continue the way it's going, but it won't be as humorous...
Please send me a review so I don't destroy this fic on accident! =|
