This is a one shot called Halloween Treats which was based on some amazing artwork I found years ago online. I can't remember the artist sadly or I would credit them for the inspiration but I can't (cries). If anyone knows any artwork of the Tracy boys in capes then please let me know because it was FAB work.

Gordon walked around the house with an expression of admiration. It looked great! Spiders hung from door frames and the windows were covered in fake spiderwebs and silhouettes of spectres. As he went downstairs to the kitchen, he heard laughter and found his brothers carving pumpkins. Virgil was focusing hard on carving Thunderbird 2 into one, much to Scott's amusement.

"Does it have to be that accurate, Virg?"

"You can't rush art Scott," Virgil narrowed his eyes as he cut out the VTOL engines. "It has to look perfect."

Gordon hopped onto a stool next to Alan rocking the table slightly. "Oops."

Virgil growled. "You got lucky."

Gordon rolled his eyes and got to work on another pumpkin. "So, what are we doing later?"

"Grandma said we could have a party," Scott shrugged as he pushed a finished pumpkin to the end of the table. "No idea who to invite though. We haven't spoken to our old friends for years."

Alan nodded sadly. "Yeah. Would they even come if we invited them?"

"Of course, they would. I mean to visit our house, is a privilege in itself," Gordon grinned and got out his phone. "I'm not sure Penelope can make it for tonight, so I might invite some guys from W.A.S.P."

Virgil smiled. "I could invite some music friends. I haven't seen them since I did my Diploma."

Scott cupped his chin in his hand. "I guess I could invite my airforce buddies, but it's whether or not I trust them."

Gordon frowned as he poked the nose out of his pumpkin. "You don't trust your friends?"

"They're with the army, Gordo. It's not that simple. I mean I trust them, but at the same time, I'd still have doubts."

Virgil sat back from the pumpkin carving and created a group chat on his phone. "Do you guys still have your capes?"

Scott couldn't help but grin. "You wouldn't make us?"

"C'mon, the five vampires? We always rocked the look," Virgil smirked and sent an invite to the party within his group chat. "Girls loved it too."

Alan sighed. "They laughed at me because the cape was too big."

"Same here," Gordon smiled across the table and helped himself to a sweet.

"It'll fit you now. You two have grown," Scott smiled. "Oh, and we need to grab John. He's not missing out on this."

"Will he join in?"

"He better."

Virgil smiled. "Well this pumpkin is done, I'll put it upstairs. Where are the tea lights?"

Scott turned to the drawers and brought out a bag. "Go nuts."

"Thank you," Virgil placed a candle into the pumpkin and took it upstairs to the lounge.

Gordon looked at the collection of orange vegetables. "Y'know? I don't think we have enough."

"Don't be sarcastic," Scott rolled his eyes.

"Awh, well done Scott, you got it."

Scott flicked a pumpkin seed at Gordon's head and chuckled. "Grow, up."

"Oh, and good at making puns too!"

"Do you want to know where the next one is going?" Scott narrowed his eyes.

"I'll shut up," Gordon picked up a couple of pumpkins and went out to the garden. "I'll just put these out here!"

Scott sat back on the stool and got out his phone, so maybe he couldn't invite his airforce friends, but what about those he had made on rescues? He scrolled through his phone and as he did, he heard humming coming in from the study, he looked up and smiled. "Hi, Kayo."

"Hey, Scott. Wow, that's a lot of pumpkins you've got there, kinda wish I hadn't been on patrol."

"It's not a problem, there were four of us working on them," Scott shrugged, and put his phone on the table as he held his hands out to her, she took them happily and giggled as he pulled her closer. "K, what would you say if I invited some friends over tonight for our Halloween party?"

"That's an odd question, they're your friends."

Alan smirked as he carved out a smile on his pumpkin. "Just wait."

"They're girls," Scott blushed slightly. "Nothing happened between me and them but..."

Kayo laughed as she stroked Scott's cheek. "Oh, you worrier. I couldn't care less. You invite whoever you want. I know you love me, and I love you."

Alan made a face. "Ew."

Scott kissed Kayo's nose. "Thanks. I thought you would understand, but I wanted to check. What do you think of the decorations?"

"I think they're awesome. Where are Gordon and Virgil?"

"Gordon is outside, and Virgil is in the lounge."

Kayo nodded. "Cool. Well, I better go and dig out my costume if we're having a party. Oh, and you'll be pleased to know I've already asked John to come down tonight. I told him it was time for him to socialise."

Scott laughed. "Socialise? Nice one. Alright, I'll see you later," he kissed her cheek and watched her run upstairs. "She's the one, Alan."

"She's practically our sister, Scott. I don't get it."

"Oh please! You had a crush on her."

"Yeah, right before you sank your claws into her and took her away from me," Alan pouted as he placed a candle inside the pumpkin.

"Don't be so bitter. Come on, we've got to get changed and sort out food for this party. I'll grab Virgil."

The space elevator came down and John stretched with a yawn as he walked up to the lounge. To his surprise, it was empty and decorated with Halloween memorabilia. He smirked and went to his bedroom passing his brothers' rooms, from each one there was a different choice of music coming out ranging from classical music to horror soundtracks. He opened his door and opened the wardrobe knowing exactly what to take out.

Each brother went with an expensive tuxedo, hidden beneath billowing black cloaks. Virgil, Alan and John kept their shirts on view with a high collar around the back of their necks to keep the cloaks on, whereas Gordon and Scott went for black waistcoats over their white shirts, along with floor length cloaks tied together across their chests. Without knowing their timings, they all put in their fangs and opened their doors.

Scott laughed. "It's just like old times."

Virgil smirked. "We look amazing. I hope our guests like the look."

Gordon looked down the corridor. "We need to avoid Grandma, she'll have a camera."

Suddenly Kayo's door opened and she stepped out in a dress and a pair of red stilettos. Scott gasped slightly as he gazed at her costume. She was dressed in a scarlet dress with a long velvet black cape and she had taken her hair out of the ponytail. She reached Scott and smiled showing a pair of fangs.

"I thought I'd follow the family theme."

"You look amazing Kayo," Virgil praised, as he noticed Scott had gone red.

"Thank you. I don't usually dress up. Even this is too fancy."

Scott finally found his voice. "I think you look beautiful."

John hid his jealousy from Scott. "Yeah. Red really suits you, Kayo."

Gordon walked up the corridor. "Shall we go guys? Our guests will be arriving soon."

The Tracys walked into the lounge and Grandma gasped happily. "Oh my heavens, you look amazing. I'll have to go and change," she looked at Brains. "That goes for you too. Oh, and all of you gather in a group, I want to get a photo."

Alan groaned. "Naw, we always do this."

Virgil looked at the piano and then back to Grandma who was getting a camera down from the shelves. "Where should we stand?"

"Your choice, dear."

Virgil walked over to the piano and sat down on the stool, he beckoned the others over and made a plan. "Kayo, could you be the one we're all gazing at?"

"Are you asking me to model?" Kayo raised an eyebrow with amusement.

"I guess so."

Scott laughed and placed his hands on her hips. "Jump up. You can be the glamorous piano model."

Kayo smirked and lay across the piano lid. "Like this?"

Virgil nodded. "I'll face out. Scott, you can be holding her from behind the piano lid. John, could you be in front of the piano and lift your cape near her? Good. Then Gordon, stand by me. And Alan, could you stand next to Scott and look out at the camera?"

Alan nodded. "This looks great."

Virgil nodded back and ran his fingers down the keys softly, Scott chuckled at him and he looked up. "What?"

"You just can't help it can you?"

Virgil cleared his throat and shifted position on the stool. "Sorry."

Kayo kissed his forehead. "Awh, Virgil."

Grandma entered the room with the camera. "Look at you all. Ready?" She smiled at the nods, "all say, Halloween!" Grandma grinned at the photo. "Right, let's get this place party-ready. Whose got people coming around?"

"Me," Gordon grinned.

"Yep, me too," Virgil stood up from the piano stool.

"Good, so get to work."

The family got to work in the kitchen and soon tables were decorated with plates of food and drinks. The doors were open out to the pool where candles lit a path through to the normally shaded garden. There was a sound of a motorboat and Gordon grinned.

"That sounds like Charlie's old boat. I'll make sure he finds the way in," Gordon chuckled then ran down to the garden to welcome his friend up to the house. He let out a gasp of joy when he saw he had come with another. "Maisy!"

"Wow Gordon, your vampire costume is awesome. And this island, do you actually live here?"

Gordon nodded. "Uh-huh. Pretty neat right?"

Charlie locked the boat up. "I knew you were rich, but not like this."

"That's our dad who did all of this," Gordon shrugged. "Follow me, you can meet my brothers."

"I haven't seen them since your racing days. Remember that after-party? Are Scott and Virgil still a musical duo?" Maisy asked as she followed Gordon upstairs.

"They're still musical, yes, but they haven't been the duo for ages," Gordon led them into the lounge and called out. "Maisy and Charlie are here!"

Scott smiled. "Hey Charlie, long time no see," he clapped him on the back. "How have you been?"

"Not bad Scott, not bad. Great place you've got here. I'm very jealous."

"It's just home for us, nothing more." There was the sound of a jet and Scott looked out. "Oh, that'll be Marion."

Kayo frowned. "Marion Van Arkel?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you two didn't get on?"

"We worked through our differences. I'll be right back," Scott kissed Kayo's cheek then left the lounge at a brisk jog leaving her by the piano.

The party had now hit full swing. Virgil was showing his college friends around the house and Gordon was in deep discussion with Charlie and Alice Lungren, who Scott had invited over. John was chatting to Maisy by the pool and Kayo was watching Scott talking to Marion on the sofa feeling a little neglected. Alan came over and wrapped his cloak around her.

"I want to suck your blood," he laughed then frowned as Kayo shrugged him off. "Sorry."

"It's not you," Kayo sighed and wrapped her cloak around herself.

Alan followed her gaze to Scott. "Oh, I see. I'm sure nothing is going on there," he heard Marion laugh and she placed her hand on Scott's arm. "Hmm."

Kayo stood up. "I'm going to my room."

Alan frowned at his brother. "I'll talk to him."

Kayo turned. "No, don't do that, he'll work it out. I'll see you later," she walked around the lounge and towards the corridor leading to their rooms, not knowing Scott was watching her.

"Will you excuse me, Marion?" Scott smiled at her as he got to his feet.

"Sure, I'll be around somewhere."

Scott hurried off in the direction Kayo had gone and called her. "Kayo!"

Kayo paused at her door and looked back at him, trying to hide her tears. "What?"

Scott sighed and immediately felt a stab of guilt hit him. "I'm really sorry about that. It was just talking at first, and then she didn't let me go."

Kayo shrugged. "What difference does it make? You told me that nothing would happen."

"You also told me you wouldn't get jealous?"

Kayo narrowed her eyes. "I'm not jealous. I'm disappointed that you didn't keep your promise."

Scott leant by the wall impatiently. "So, you're not coming back to the party then?"

"Don't be like that, it's just it feels like you're ignoring me."

"Then come and chat with us, she is my guest here tonight," Scott held his hand out to her. "Please?"

Kayo sighed and took his hand, then gasped as he pulled her to his chest wrapping his arm around her waist. "Hey!"

Scott kissed her and then grinned. "You think I'd do that to Marion?"

Kayo shook her head. "I'm sorry."

"Forget it. Come on sweetheart."

When the two arrived back, they were met by a very energetic vibe, they looked across to where Virgil was sitting at the piano with one of his friends and playing Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire' at top volume. Gordon was shouting out words of encouragement whilst the other guests and family members were dancing or at least clapping along.

Virgil caught Scott's eye. "Scott, get up here!"

Scott glared back. "No way!"

Gordon danced around to him and pulled him forward. "Get up there now, spoilsport!"

Kayo chuckled and kissed his cheek. "Go on. For me?"

Scott groaned, then dragged himself up to the piano to squeeze in next to his brother and his best friend. "Which bit are you up to?"

"Not even the first verse," Virgil smiled. "Take the next line, Zach."

"No problem, V!"

Virgil stamped on the pedal whilst grinning at his friend, and swept his cape back behind him to avoid stepping on it, and even Scott found himself tapping along to the beat of the song as he played along, and down in the ring, Marion crossed her arms.

"I didn't know Scott could play?"

Kayo smiled. "Since childhood."

"What an amazing talent. You're lucky to have him, he's the kindest man I think I've ever met."

Kayo nodded as she watched Scott take a solo. "Yeah, he is," the piece came to an end and the performers bowed, Kayo held her hands out to Scott with a smirk. "Well, you were sprightly?"

"Despite being in this cloak. I thought I was going to trip over it," Scott hugged her close and then spotted someone. "Oh, I better say hi to Alice."

Kayo looked over. "Who's Alice?"

"We helped her save her university, and saved her life. Hey Alice!"

Alice excused herself from John's side and walked over. "Hi, Scott."

Scott smiled. "Kayo, this is Alice Lungren."

"Pleased to meet you," Kayo shook her hand, then looped her arm around Scott's again.

Alice gazed around the room. "I love this house, it's beautiful."

"Thanks. It has to be big for the birds, and location-wise, and again for the birds," Scott laughed as he squeezed Kayo's waist.

"How long have you been together? Sorry to ask out of the blue."

Scott laughed. "We've been together for a while now. It's coming up to a year."

Kayo grinned. "It still surprises me that he chose me."

Alice smiled at them. "You make a cute couple. Great party by the way. Your brother plays the piano really well. I would've never suspected he was musical when I met him last year."

Virgil waved and left his friends at the piano as he walked over to join them. "Hi, Alice."

"Hi, Virgil. Great cloak."

Virgil smirked. "Thanks. I've had it for years. It's my trademark Halloween costume."

Grandma bustled through. "I'd like to get some photos of all of you. Just act natural."

Gordon posed with his friends and wrapped his cloak around them, "we're ready."

Virgil rested a hand on his hip and posed slightly for his photo and raised an eyebrow, then he got a photo of his friends who also posed in their costumes. Scott rested a hand against the wall and stared into the distance as Grandma took a photo. Kayo got into it and hugged him gently. Marion got a photo with Scott under the spiderwebs and Alice had a photo with Scott and Virgil. Gordon leapt onto the sofa and posed for Grandma before she told him to get his feet off the furniture. John shied away slightly but posed for the camera. Kayo smiled and came to join him for a photo. Alan, however, jumped into the frame and held his hands up comically with a laugh. Grandma smiled as she scrolled through the photos, it had been a great Halloween.
