AN: Okay, another chapter. I have no idea where this story is gonna end up, but I like where it's going. :) So enjoy! And thatnks to all those who reviewed. Reviews make my world go 'round.

On Halloween, the Nerd Squad, and family of the Nerd Squad, ate a very early, light dinner. At 6:00 they were all gathered in Greg's house. Archie brought his two younger sisters, Helen and Sayde. The two girls were nine and ten, but the could pass for twins. Sayde and Helen, like their brother, knew Greg's family as much as their own. They went up to change into their costumes with Britany. Lila helped Trent into his costume first. Then the little boy walked around the house waiting for the others to finish.

Kiley and Sara took up residence with Cilla and Lila in their room. Sara actually sed the bathroom attached to Cilla's and Lila's room. She was really shy around people, especially people she didn't know that well. The others didn't bother, or question her. When everyone was finished changing into their plain black clothes they all went back to the living room.

They put their capes or coats on, laced up their boots and got their white face makeup on. And then Cilla and Lila sprayed everyone's hair with this black spray that was washable but very affective for one night. They all got a set of rubber teeth with fangs. Trent began trying to bite people's arms once he had his teeth on.

"Trent," Cilla said picking up the little boy. He promptly tried to bite his sister's ear. "You can't go around biting people,' she told him sternly. Trent flashed her an innocent smile and nodded.

"Okay," Lila said. She and Cilla were obvious in charge. "Role call. Trent." Trent let out a loud cheer and Cilla handed him a bag. "Britany, Sayde, Helen." The three young girls got bags. "Kiley, Sara, Greg."

At the sound of his name Greg let out a low, long hiss. "My name is not Greg," He said loudly in his best spooky voice, which wasn't that good. "It's um..." He paused. He had obviously not thought this through.

"Scary," Trent shouted.

"Yeah," Greg said with a laugh. "My name is Scary." Only those not related to Greg laughed. Lila continued with her role call.

"Archie, Nathan. Okay are we missing anyone," She said. Deciding that they were all there, Lila and Cilla lead their group out the door.

"We are the cult of vampires," Greg said happily. The younger kids cheered in agreement.

"I hate these jeans," Cassy declared coming out from Fredy's bathroom. Warrick walked in when she came out. They had decided to all meet at his house because it was the most welcoming.

"Why," Catherine said, totally confused. Cassy had on a pair of tight jeans that looked really good on her.

"They have rips in them," Cassy said, upset. There were rips in the knees on her jeans. Catherine rolled her eyes.

"That's the point Cassy," Catherine pointed out. Cassy shrugged like that was a totally irrelevant point.

"You look nice," Fredy said.

"I know that," Cassy said glaring at him, becoming very defensive.

"Jeeze cassy, can you take a compliment without getting all snappy," Fredy said.

"No," Cassy said but she was grinning now.

"Uh...Fredy," Warrick said, coming out of the bathroom. His tye-dye shirt was particularly bright and colorful. He also had a heavy peace medal hanging form his neck. And his pants, which were picked from a thrift store by Fredy, were so big he had to hold them up so they wouldn't slip off. "How fat did you think I was."

Fredy and the two girls burst out laughing. Warrick was just such a comical sight standing there, his pants about ten sizes to big, his thick, bottle cap glasses, looking totally out of his element right now. And the thing is, Warrick started laughing too.

"I'll go get a belt," Fredy said once he had regained enough control of his voice. He started to go up to his room.

"And I'll come too," Cassy said immediately jumping up and actually rushing to Fredy's room faster then Fredy himself.

"What's with her," Warrick asked. He sat down on the couch, figuring it was better then standing up. Catherine shrugged, totally unconcerned.

"Just Cassy being Cassy I guess," Catherine said. Truth was, she had a very good idea what was up with her and she made a mental note to strangle her later.

They sat in silence for a long moment, much longer then just getting a belt would take.

"Favorite candy," Warrick asked Catherine all of a sudden. What on earth possessed him to say anything at all, he didn't know. But Catherine seemed relieved for the break in silence.

"Hm... chocolate, any kind of chocolate," Catherine said. "What about you.

"Snickers," warrick said with no hesitation. Catherine made a fake gagging sound. "What?"

"I hate snickers," catherine said.

"But it has chocolate it in," Warrick pointed out. Catherine made the gagging sound again and Warrick laughed. Then Fredy came down the stairs and tossed a belt at Warrick. Warrick hurriedly threaded it through his belt loops. Cassy came down also and seemed particularly angry with Catherine. She was glaring fiercely at her friend who only smiled back.

"Candy," Trent sang as they walked down the street to the first house. Then he turned to Sara and Kiley, suddenly serious. It was something to see the little boy, rubber fangs poking out from his lip, staring forcibly at the girls as though giving them an extremely important message.

"Greg gets to ring the first doorbell," He said, very serious. "Don't talk." The others kept walking, obviously having done this before.

"And don't laugh," Archie added. Greg had a huge grin on his face.

They all walked up to a yellow house. The didn't all manage to stand on the porch though and formed a odd, crocked sort of line. Greg was in the front, and Sara was next to him. Greg pressed the doorbell. Sara heard it ring inside the house.

When a woman came to the door holding a large bowl of candy nobody said the customary "Trick or Treat". True to what Trent said they everyone stayed quite. Only Greg spoke.

"We would like to inform you that your house is under inspection by all the kids and/or vampires who live and/or play games on this street. We are inspecting you candy input/output and will inform you of your results next year when we conduct this test again." Greg said all this with a straight face. He didn't grin or laugh once and Sara found this utterly amazing. The woman rolled her eyes.

"I was hoping you would come this year Greg," she said. So it seemed Greg's reputation was spread far and wide. Now Greg smiled widely.

"Come on Miss Flattery. You know you love my strange greetings," Greg said as he picked a candy bar out of the bowl and stepped aside to allow the others to get their candy.

"Okay I'll give you that," she said with a laugh. "Vampires this year? I like it. But I'll tell you, my favorite when you all dressed as different parts of a clock. That was very neat."

Sara smiled. "Parts of a clock," she asked. Greg nodded.

"I was the second hand," he said.

Miss Flattery squinted at Sara. "A new face huh?"

Sara nodded. "Yep, my sister and I are new to the neighborhood." That was true enough. Technically she was new to the city but she didn't say that. Besides, Kiley might elaborate and Sara didn't want that. Thankfully Miss Flattery nodded. The rest of the kids got their candy and the whole group moved out of the woman's yard.

"Happy hunting guys," she called after them.
