"Where the hell did Stephanie go?" Amy asked Jenny.
"No clue." She answered, shrugging her shoulders.
"Are we ready for a night of terror?" Stephanie said in her best Dracula voice, running down the stairs.
"Yeah we're ready. Where were you? This was your brilliant idea, and you keep us waiting." Matt sarcastically said.
"So sorry darling had to make a very important call. Ya know, just in case something happens to me, have to make sure my will is up to date."
"Uh yeah, lets be afraid of some tired old mascot who went postal fifteen years ago. I'm shaking." Jeff said in a make believe frightened voice.
"Let's go guys." Stephanie said as she grabbed her backpack full of supplies.
They all headed out the door and began to walk two blocks toward the baseball field. It was around Nine thirty at night and there were still several trick or treaters out.
"Man, don't these kids have to be in bed or something?" Matt asked as he dodged running into one.
"Hey is that?"
"Yeah, I think it is."
"Let's ask him?"
Stephanie and Tiffany heard the whispers of two little girls walking behind them. It was a black cat and a witch. They looked no older than ten. Stephanie had a feeling of who they were talking about. It had to be Matt because Jeff was still wearing his scream costume with the mask on.
"Uh sorry to bother you but me and my friend . . . "
The group stopped as the black cat and witch stopped in front of Matt
"Don't tell me, you think that I'm that cool Matt Hardy Version 1, don't you?"
The girls had a huge smile on their faces. "Yeah, we thought you looked a lot like him." The witch said getting excited.
"Well tonight is your lucky night! This is no costume; version 1 is in the flesh." He said feeling flattered that the girls noticed him. "Would you girls like an autograph?" He asked.
"Actually, we were wondering if Jeff was anywhere around?" The black cat asked still excited.
Matt=s face turned from flattered to disappointed. "Oh. You want that guy then." He pointed to Jeff in his costume. The girls were a little apprehensive to approach Jeff. He saw that and took off his mask exposing his face and messy multicolored hair.
"Awe poor Mattie. I still love you." Amy said making fun of him as she consoled him.
"Yeah, but it's not the same." He said giving her a smile and reaching over to tickle her.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the stadium. Jeff walked up to the doors and tried to open them.
"The damn thing is locked." He said while he took off his costume revealing a light blue fishnet shirt and baggy black jeans.
"You honestly didn't think it would be that easy did you." Stephanie said as she headed around the back of the stadium.
"Really, what kind of fun would it be if we didn't break in?" Matt said.
"Yeah, add breaking and entering on top of trespassing." Jenny snapped back uncomfortable with the whole situation.
"Hey guys! I think that I found our way in." Steph yelled running back behind the stadium.
The remaining five ran over to see how they were going to break in. When they made their way to Steph, they reached a twelve foot high fence that lead to the inside of the stadium.
"Alright, this is going to be fun!" Jeff said excitedly as he ran and jumped on the fence.
"Hold up Jeff." Steph said pulling him off the fence. I know that you, Matt, and Amy won't have any problem climbing this thing but I worry about Jenny and Tiffany. What about it girls? You think you can handle it."
"Hell yeah, I can do it!" Tiff said
"Jenny?" The group said simultaneously.
"Well, I can try." She replied unsure.
"Let's do it then."
"Man Jeff you sure are eager to climb that fence."
"You know I thrive off climbing high things and then jumping off them." He said already ahead of everyone.
"Oh shit!" Jenny yelled.
"Jenny what happened?" Stephanie asked thinking that something terrible occurred.
"I broke a fingernail!"
"What!?"
"I just got them done. French tips are expensive." Jenny said ignoring Stephanie's noticeable annoyance with her comment.
Once everyone was over the fence, they all walked to the center of the field.
"Wow it's dark in this place." Tiffany said holding on to Jeff's arm.
"Yeah but it really brings out the beautiful light of the full moon. That's enough light for now, besides I have flashlights in my backpack." Stephanie said excitedly.
"So, what do we do first?"
"Well let us explore."
They made their way to the stadiums seats. Matt and Amy ran up the stairs to the announcers booth located half way to the top.
"Hey look at Matt and Amy."
"WHAT'S UP?" Matt said through the announcing microphone.
"HOLLY SHIT THIS THING WORKS!" His words echoed throughout the field.
"Will someone make him turn that microphone off before he gets us caught!?" Stephanie said angered.
"I'll go." Tiffany excitedly ran up the stairs.
Meanwhile Stephanie, Jenny and Jeff made their way to one of the dugouts.
"This is so repulsive! Look at all the trash in here." Jenny said disgusted.
"Oh my God Jenny look out a rat!" Jeff hollered.
"Where, where?" Jenny yelled freaking out.
Jeff started to laugh hysterically once he saw Jenny's reaction.
"You are such a jerk!" Pissed, she ran out of the dugout.
"Hey is that a baseball bat?"
"Looks like it is. Why don't you clear the trash and find out for sure?"
Jeff dug through the trash and removed an old rotting wooden baseball bat.
"Hey cool. I can use this just in case Bob decides to mess with us." He said swinging the bat at a phantom ball.
"Hey what're you all doing in here?" Matt asked with Amy and Tiffany following behind.
"Being jerks!" Jenny shouted from the background.
"Don't listen to her. Hey how about we go check to see if the locker rooms are open?" Stephanie asked.
"Why not?" Tiffany said leading the way.
They walked through a long dark narrow hallway. When they approached the locker room, Jeff tried to open the door. This time he was successful. They entered the locker and the first thing they noticed was the horrible stench.
"What the hell died in here?" Matt asked plugging his nose.
"It smells like rotting eggs." Steph said using the collar of her shirt to block the smell.
"Man this is not my night to hold food down. I think I'm going to throw up again." Tiffany said running out of the locker room.
"Why don't we try to hold the door open and get some air in her?" Amy asked.
"Good idea." Matt said making his way to open the door.
"That's a little better. Here peeps take a flashlight." Steph reached into her backpack and began to pass them out.
Once Matt turned on his flashlight, he noticed something in one of the lockers; "hey guys look at this."
"Oh my goodness! Is that?" Jenny asked shocked.
"Looks like."
Curious, Jeff ran over to see what Matt and Jenny were looking at.
"Oh give me a break. Bob's costume. I'm soooo scared." He rolled his eyes and walked away.
"Whatever dude, when you're face to face with Bob don't come crying to me."
"Brilliant idea over here!" Jenny yelled.
"Care to share?" Amy asked.
"Let's play hide and go seek?"
"That could be fun." Steph said as she continued her tour of the locker room
"Yeah let's do it!" Jeff threw in excitedly.
"Some rules though." Amy commanded.
"First, no hiding behind the stadium seats."
Everyone agreed.
"Second no hiding in lockers."
"What? I don't think any of us could even fit." Tiff shouted from outside the locker room.
"Yeah well, I know some people in here are crazy and are willing to try anything." Amy said directing her gaze at Matt, Jeff and Stephanie. "Finally, safety is the announcing booth. Go in there and you can't be tagged. Is that cool with everyone?"
"Yes Miss Dumas." They answered in unison.
"Very good children." She began to laugh realizing how authoritative she was behaving.
"1...2...3, NOT IT!" Stephanie, Matt, Tiffany, Amy and Jenny yelled.
"Jeff it looks like you're the seeker."
"What just happened?" Jeff asked confused.
"Hey we all called 'not it'." Matt said shrugging his shoulders.
"Fine, where do I start counting?"
"Um you can count to 100." Amy said.
They all walked with Jeff to the outfield. He turned around closed his eyes and began to count.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 16 . . . " Jeff continued to count while everyone else ran to a hiding spot.
Matt ran and hid behind one dugout while Amy ran the opposite direction and hid behind the other. Stephanie ran behind the snack bar stand while Jenny and Tiffany decided to go back and hide in the putrid locker room.
"78, 79, 82, 86, 90, 95, 100. It's time to play" Jeff yelled as loud as he could, the flashlight in one hand and bat in the other.
He took all of maybe fifteen steps toward the center of the field when suddenly the stadium lights came on.
"What the fuck? Did one of them find the switch to turn on the lights? Why would they turn on the lights and take the risk of being caught?" Jeff mumbled to himself.
"Whatever, they aren't going to scare me that easy."
Jeff started running when he noticed a large shadow run across the wall toward the locker room.
"I know it's one of you guys." Jeff continued to run across the field this time toward the hallway that led to the locker room.
When he arrived, he turned on his flashlight and opened the door.
"Ah ha!" He stormed in and pointed his light around the room.
"I know that one of you are in here." Jeff yelled
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"Jenny! Why is that girl forever screaming?"
He walked toward the shower. "THUD!" He slipped on a puddle of something landing on his ass.
"Shit!" Jeff used the bench in the center of the room as leverage to help himself up. He proceeded to dust himself off when he realized what was on his hand.
"Blood huh. Well might as well see where it's coming from."
He saw that the puddle stopped in front of a locker. He opened it and out stumbled Tiffany's lifeless body.
"And she said no one could fit inside. Okay good job guys. She really looks dead." He kneeled down and saw the big gash across her throat. "How did they pull this off? Even I couldn't make a wound this good. Hum maybe I should've used Tiff as my victim instead?"
He continued to walk toward the back where the showers were. To the left he noticed an open locker and realized that Bob the Bandit's costume was gone. However, it didn't faze him and he carried on toward the shower where he heard the water running.
"Now what is going on back here?" When he made his way around the corner, he saw Jenny lying face down, her blood circling the drain before making its way down.
"I don't know what you guys are trying to pull but I'm not going down that easy!"
