~ Ami – Chan Presents; Trick or Treat Part one: – It's The Great Pumpkin , Big Brother! ~

/

Humming a tune on her way home from school, the night was far from their time to rise. Ami, Aiden, Anna Grayson and Chris with Ava were now in decision that someone had to step up.

As in, who was going to chaperone Ami's Halloween schedule of candy gobbling tonight?

Ava and Chris had said they'd be going to a party with friends. No, there was no booze for the bookworm and her crew.

Anna had decided to study – which was odd since she hated homework unlike her sisters…

And Aiden?

Had zero alibis to go with.

Except that Toby; his best mate, was in the same boat with his little cousins Manuel and Luz.

(The two were eight while Ami was turning about ten at the time, right before the Chosen's big break with a bang in New Years arc.)

"Big bro!!" Amelia Grayson snuck up on her sibling while he was checking his cell for any updated messages.

~Sorry, esse. Our Tia, was very strict about it. If I don't take the twins out trick or treating with my big sister Cassandra, then I can kiss Rock camp this next summer adios! ~

Muttering, Aiden knew what Ami was going to ask…and he didn't want to worry about turning around –

" BOO!"

She had on an Oni (hah! See?) mask from her father's office, and it spooked Aiden to fly off of the sofa.

/

"AMII!!!" She giggled and ran around the room in her swiped mask, before a concerned and flustered Officer Dick Grayson came in to swipe it back. Ami whipped around and looked up at her smug daddy dearest.

"Hey! I was going to use that for my costume! No fair!" She huffed and crossed her arms, while Aiden was already out of breath. Did she use magic or something to zap him of his energy that fast?? (ANOTHER EGG.)

"I told you to not go running around the house with questionable face coverings!" Kori called from the other room, making Dick Grayson think she was Super girl or someone pretty darn close.

"What your mother said, and Aiden? Did you make sure to go over the rules I left for Ami's outing tonight? Uncle Vic will be here to get you guys in the next hour, so you'd better suit up if you don't want all of the good candy dives to be –

" Richard. No "cop - lingo" around our young Amelia." Starfire tutted the officer with a wet spatula. "Are…Are you baking, Kori?" His face paled gradually lighter. Ami and Aiden watched as the ten-year-old snickered at the "scene."

"Am 'iander." Kori crouched to meet Ami's height. "You must promise us that you will not run of to "do the busting of the specters" like last time…" She bit her lip at the memory of Ami chasing spooks with her ESP. Well, the kid should really NOT be going out, but Jackie had twisted their arm this time.

"I'm still going as a spirit to keep them away from me! Last time the fairy princess (HAAH) costume made me an easy target!" She gabbed on, anxiously. "This time I know I can repel them in time to reach the house with the biggest bars in San Francisco!"

Starfire smiled at her youngest. "Ami, you are not going to be hurt by anything of the supernatural or otherwise. Your father will be on patrol, so you can rest most assured of this!"

"I am?"

"Are you not?" Starfire frowned at her scatterbrained hubby and pouted her lip, innocently. "We, hemwill be in the neighborhood, sure bu –

"Ah – ah." She shushed him. Ami was already getting a bit upset. He'd forgotten that…being too truthful could be too much for a ten-year-old. Even if his time with Bruce had not been as carefree as Amelia's…

"Oh, I have to fly…The Serge will put daddy behind his desk A.K.A, "bars" all night if I show up fifteen minutes behind schedule. I'm keeping Uncle Vic posted, so yes sweetie. And Aiden? You'll get that raise in your allowance too if this all ends with smiles and not frowns –

"That is so blackmailing, dad…!" Grumbled the tween. Dick rolled his eyes at a chuckling Kori. "You have no idea, son…" Ah, such as with blackmail cases, he had a list of experiences with psychos who knew the term inside and out…though, he prayed that Aiden never would learn about the Titans' past. Or have nemesis or two of his own one day…Like that could ever happen.

Officer Grayson was off, and Ami soon bolted from the floor to go and try on her scary demon face and costume that she'd gotten from a shop – online, thanks to her Uncle Shoji in Shinjuku knowing where the Harajuku crowds hung out after dark.

"You went….as an astronaut…." Ami stood slack – jawed and eyed over Jackie's replica her dad had put together.

"Dude…. you look….so cool!! Wow!! I had this shipped from Uncle Shoji's! It even lights up!"

She pressed a button in her mask by the neck, and both her eye holes and palms lit up with a strobe light effect.

" HeY! It's too early to go out on a rave, Ami! Turn that thing off…Did dad check the specs before you got this?" He noticed how culturally gruesome it was, like a wraith or ogre, but much freakier.

"Mom almost blew a hole in the wall, so she said not to wear the mask around her…"

After Toby had caught up to them with his smart talking sister yelling in Spanish to boy friend over her cell, he had just decided to have the twins and crew for company. "Cassandra is short tempered and kind of mean, so I'll take her chores anyway possible… if I don't have to listen to her fight with "su novio."

"What's that mean, Toby?" Ami cocked her mask wearing head at the teen. Toby shuddered at the fake ectoplasm that came with Ami's ensemble. "Is she allowed to go out like that, esse??"

Aiden rolled his eyes. "Mom said she's not doing any harm, but dad wanted to call up our uncle in Japan to complain." Grinning, he seemed to liven up by the sentence. "Don't worry, Ami's horror phase will not be returning to these streets next Hallow –

"Waaah!!!"

Aiden turned around to see Toby's two cousins weeping right beside Amelia, who was the one who had started up their waterfalls with a "not so innocent shriek."

"Amelia!!!" Aiden dashed after her, but she was too fast. "Come back! This isn't cops and robbers you sneaky –

" Raw!!" Aiden snorted back as her scary look. Hah, that didn't work on this responsible adult tonight.

"I've been desensitized by modern TV shows and your stupid anime is horrific enough to make me swear off of monster movies for good! You, are in so much trouble if dad ever –

~You tell him, and I'll string you by your ankles…. little boy! ~

Darkly, she'd not sounded like herself…

"A…mi…" Jackie gulped, only to find that she was lifting off in her suit!

" Haaa!! I'm going zero -gravity over here!! Call my dad!! This is super - sci - fi!! Dang!!"

The twins were dressed up as a cute witch and a vampire, until little Manuel went after Cassie with razor sharp mini chompers.

"Dios mio!! Stop it!! Ahhh !!" Cassie dropped her cell and ran away from the little vamp who looked to be foaming at the mouth…

"Esse?? Aiden! What the heck is going on???" The Witch twin was trying out her broom, but Toby took it back with an award-winning swipe. "I'll turn you into a toad! Don't mess with this Bruja!" She stuck out her tongue to warn.

Aiden saw Ami levitate and gasped up at the moon. Which had turned into….

An eclipse with the face of a giant pumpkin. No, no bunny rabbits making mochi, medicine, or men smiling back at you in this tale as he gulped at the last of them, while Jackie's astronaut's cord was tugged so she wouldn't end up on the planet Mars.

"Y- yeah! Dad! Get Julian over…. him too??A werewolf, huh? What's happening??? Did….an attack??"

Her cell was on, but poor Cy had been barricaded by kids at their home. All dressed up for Halloween tonight….

"I can't find out if your mama will make it there in time, so…. just – Holy Optimus Prime!!! –

Her cell link cut out and Jackie groaned.

"Houston, I think we've got a very big problem…."

/

"Oh my…" Kori shut the door and even used her power to keep it sealed shut.

She heard a ring by the hall and rushed to see who was calling.

"Richard! There has been a terrible –

~ I know, we think Klarion the Witch boy is behind it. Etrigon and Bruce already called in Zee and J –

"We have too many children running amok in the streets…. will I not be able to assist them in time?"

~ You can try, but be careful…I just alerted the team in San Diego a few short moments ago. Klarion is using a spell to make monsters appear around the country. And, Ami is –

"An Oni from Japan!" Kori gasped.

~ With magic powers…I was afraid she'd just scare everyone like before but this…We can't let her psychic powers run loose. Aiden can't use your Tameranean energy yet and Anna…~

"She is holding down "this home's fort." Gulped the princess. "What about Ava Marie and Chris?"

Dick sighed. ~ I'm going to find out now. She's also in trouble if she uses her magic, and with a whole house of –

He stopped. ~ I have to go. Try to stay calm until I can send more help. ~

"Dick!" She felt his emotions and he was as afraid as she was. Their kids had powers but they were not able to know how or why, not yet. As if a prophecy could stop the two from doing what was right for their family.

Part one – who ya gunna call?? Con – Stan– tine!! The dream team is on and ready to rumble, but I cannot wait to keep Klarion in this snippet – and before the Chosen arc, even! Wow! Stay tuned for part two, I know I can't!
