Fall 1: The Jack-o-Lantern

Vulpix huffed and puffed, straining to continue onwards, but it was too much. She had to put down the pumpkin she was telekinetically carrying before she dropped it. Once the pumpkin was settled on the ground, Vulpix flopped down beside it, panting hard. Carrying things that were as large as you was hard, even with psychic powers.

Vulpix looked at the rest of the path to her den and laid her ears against her head and whined. She wasn't even a third of the way there! A gentle poke by a sharp claw to her side a moment later had her looking over. There stood a Drilbur with an orange scarf around his neck. Drilbur smiled, and asked if Vulpix wanted help. Vulpix yipped in happiness and agreement, and got up, having caught her breathe. Together, they picked up the pumpkin, Drilbur with his clawed hands and Vulpix telekinetically, and they made good time towards Vulpix's den.

The sun was starting to go down when they finally reached the den. They set the pumpkin down off to the side of the entrance, and Vulpix quickly retrieved some supplies from inside. Drilbur carefully secured his scarf out of the way, then cut the pumpkin open and Vulpix scooped out the gooey insides. She separated the goo from the pumpkin seeds and placed them in two separate jars to give to Granny Slurpuff later to make some delicious treats out of. Drilbur and Vulpix then decided on a simple face for their Jack-o-Lantern.

Drilbur set to carving while Vulpix prepared the candle that would go inside. When Drilbur was done, Vulpix lit the candle with a gentle exhale of flame and then carefully lifted the candle and its plate into the pumpkin. Once it was settled, Drilbur placed the top back into place and cleaned his claws, retrieving his scarf after that. The sun was almost set fully by now. The two stepped back to admire the fruit of their hard labor, and cheered happily. The lantern was perfect and the two were very happy.
