Halloween Terror

--

"So Slightly, what are you going to do for Halloween?" Wendy asks Slightly at lunch.

"I'm not going trick-or-treating, that's for babies. Me and my friends will probably drive really really far-away to the woods and camp out there," Slightly replied.

"Oh, that's nice, have fun," Peter said. Wendy punched him.

"Peter! Slightly, you are absolutely NOT doing that," Wendy said.

"WHAT? Dad did that, how come I don't get to!" Slightly cried.

Wendy looked at Peter. "When did you do that?" She asked.

"A very long time ago, can we not talk about it?" Peter asks.

Wendy suddenly clapped her hands in remembrance. "Oh my gosh! I remember, everyone went out in the woods before Halloween to um, yeah, and you were so totally freaked out! You didn't even go," Wendy said. She started laughing her head off.

"Did you go mom?" Nibs asked.

"Yeah, but I really regret it. But I was in college, I didn't know any better," Wendy said.

"Now I really want to go!" Slightly cried happily.

"No way! You heard your mom, you'll be too scared and won't go," Peter said.

"Dad, I'm not like you, I won't run away like a scaredy cat!" Slightly cried and laughed.

"Am I going?" Nibs asks.

Wendy and Slightly stop laughing and say together flatly, "NO!"

Nibs looks down. "Well, Peter, it'll be just you and me on Halloween," Nibs says.

"Um, uh, actually Nibs, Wendy and I are going to a party that night, sorry Nibs," Peter said.

"But guys are old! You're not supposed to be going to parties!" Nibs exclaimed angrily.

"How dare you call us old! I'm anything but that!" Peter cried back.

"Nibs, you can go to one of your friend's house, or spend hours in the computer chat room, whichever!" Wendy said.

"Cool!" Nibs cried and runs away to the computer!

--

Then on the day of Halloween, Slightly calls all his friends and they each got prepared for tonight, when Slightly and his friends would camp out far away on Halloween!

Slightly was packing his stuff and getting ready to CAMP OUT ON HALLOWEEN. Anyway. Nibs then came in the room. "Slightly, why can't I come?" He asked.

"Because you would just get in the way Nibs, were different kind of people, know what I mean?" Slightly explains.

Nibs shakes his head.

"Well, I'm not going to explain it Nibs, just go figure," Slightly says and hoists his back-pack on his uh, back. Slightly went downstairs and saw Wendy and Peter, in their costumes! "Wendy! What are you supposed to be?" Slightly gasps.

"Isn't it obvious?" Wendy asked.

"Uh...let me guess, you're a walking mop?" Slightly says.

"No silly! I'm Madonna!" She cries as she fluffs up her blonde wig. "80's style," She added. Slightly nodded. Then he saw Peter, who was wearing a blue shirt, blue cap, and carrying a canvas bag.

"Uh, Peter? What are YOU supposed to be?" Slightly asks.

"I'm a Mail Man!" He cries happily.

"My sexy mail-man," Wendy adds with a smirk. Slightly shudders once, then runs away quickly to wait for his friends. "Be careful Slightly! Oh come here," Wendy cries and runs after him.

"Wendy, please, I'm fine, Jason will be here in a few minutes," Slightly pleaded.

"But Honey you have a smudge on your nose! Anyway, what are you for Halloween?" Wendy asks.

"I'm a Fox, isn't it obvious?" Slightly shrugs.

Wendy laughs. "So original," She sniffs.

"Uh, yeah. See you tomorrow Mom," Slightly says and waves good-bye to Peter and Wendy.

"You know Wendy, I don't really like the idea of Slightly running off into the woods with a bunch of hooligans, how come you let him?" Peter asked.

"Ah, who cares. Let's get ready to go to our party now," Wendy says. Peter looks at her strangely.

"Wendy, you're acting different...I like it!" Peter cries and they get in their car to go to the "Adult" costume party, at of course the ultimate party place, the Hercules

house-hold. Since Slightly and his friends were just driving, I am very eager to see Wendy's and Peter's party night out.

--

They pull up to the street and walk the rest of the way to the Hercules house. "Man! Can you believe these streets? They totally wrecked my wheel with those stupid cobblestones," Peter muttered. They walk up the steps and hear the faint booming noise of music and lights going on and off. They walk up to the door and knock.

Meg opens the door carrying two shooters at the same time. "Peter! Wendy! You made it, cool," Meg said. Meg complimented on their costumes.

"So Meg, what are you supposed to be?" Wendy asked.

"Read," She replied flatly and they noticed the sign on her toga, which read, "The toga is my costume...really."

"Uh...nice!" Wendy said.

"Come in, you're just in time for the Disco Contest," Meg said and they noticed the light-up floor.

"Oh man! I haven't danced on one of those in years!" Peter exclaimed. Meg nodded. Then Herc came and greeted Wendy and Peter.

"Peter, what are you supposed to be?" Herc asked.

"Mail-Man," Peter replied.

"Whoa! Scary," Hercules agreed. Peter nodded. Suddenly the sweeper maid lady from Beauty and the Beast dusted by carrying a tray of popcorn shrimp and fairy-dust with a tinge of Olive-oil cocktail.

"Man, Herc! We haven't drunk this in years! We created it, remember?" Peter exclaimed grabbing ten. Hercules nodded. They did a cheers and got lost in the crowd.

"Peter, let's get our groove on!" Wendy exclaimed with glee. Of course, Peter agreed, being the disco king of his time. They hopped on the dance floor and all the adult Disney characters were having one heck of a time. Unfortunately, this story is supposed to be about Slightly and his friends camping out in the woods, so I reluctantly have to go to them next. As we leave the party house, and hear the last of the remaining chanting of "Toga! Toga!" we see ourselves driving along a foggy road, curving up towards the woods on the mountains.

Jason was driving with Rose-Mary next to him. (Rosie was his girlfriend, she's 17 like the rest of the gang, she's also the daughter of King Adonis of Thrace whose married to the popular Helen Of Troy, who were the popular snobs when Herc and Meg were in High School so when they found out they were like "Oh my god!" and they started cracking up and--ok, enough about that.)

Slightly and Tiger-Lily plus Habib and Pierre were in the back. "Put some music on!" Slightly cried from the backseat.

"Uh, ok, um, sure," Jason stammered.

"Jason honey, are you ok?" Rose-Mary asked him.

"Uh, yeah, sure, no one talk, got to have my eyes on the road," Jason stuttered as he leaned close to the wheel.

"Jason, chill, it's just a mountain road, if you want me to drive I will," Slightly said.

"No, I'm fine, I'm relaxed, let me turn the radio on," Jason said. He slowly raised his hand from the wheel. Everyone watched him with worried glances. "Where's the dial?" Jason asked. He was watching the road and trying to find the radio dial at the same time.

"Um, Jason sweetie, let me get it," Rose-Mary said.

"Oh, yeah, thanks Hun," Jason replied. He watched the road and muttered something about him being grounded for life if they crashed and died. Rose-Mary put it on 106.7 and they listened to some rock. As they went up and up the road, it began to get colder.

"Ja- I mean, ROSE-MARY, will you turn the heater on?" Habib asked.

"Yeah, sure," Rose-Mary replied. They put on mittens and jackets.

"You guys, where's that park we are going to?" Tiger-Lily asked.

"It should be around here, it shouldn't be too far up the mountain," Slightly replied. Suddenly, as they continued driving, an announcement flashed on the radio.

"Attention all drivers! A killer is on the loose near Olympus Mountain, but since from our police cameras, we don't see any unfortunate drivers driving up ahead; Oh! Wait a minute! We see a small teensy car riding slowly up the mountain, sure glad I'm not them! Ah, it's probably no one important, back to the station!" The radio announcement tuned out.

Jason immediately pressed down on the brakes. "Dude, do you think we should go back? I'm not camping out near a killer!" Jason cried.

Slightly suddenly started to laugh. "Are you kidding me? It's just a Halloween joke, I doubt it's real," Slightly said.

"Slightly, it could be real, I mean it's happened before," Habib said. As if on cue, a pair of headlights showed behind them.

"Whose that?" Jason asked.

"Dude, just drive! Were almost there," Slightly said. Jason started up the car again, and they continued to drive.

--

Finally, they reached the park's parking lot. The car behind them had followed them steadily the whole time. When Jason parked on a slot, they watched as the car drove ahead. "See? Nothing to worry about you bunch of chickens," Slightly said as he hopped off the car. He helped Tiger-Lily out of the car and then he and Habib started unloading the stuff.

"I'll start the fire pit, you know, I learned all about camping in the wilderness at Hero Training," Jason bragged to Rose-Mary.

"Ooh," She replied.

They unloaded the backpacks and set up the tents. Then they found some logs to sit on around the fire. After a few moments, they all sat together on the logs and roasted marsh-mellows.

"Hey, let's swap scary stories," Habib suggested.

"Yeah, and not spit," Jason said, indicating at Slightly and Tiger-Lily.

"Hey, get a life!" Slightly laughed and threw a marsh-mellow at Jason.

"You guys, I really don't want to scare ourselves, I'm still freaked out by that Radio

Announcement," Rose-Mary said snuggling against Jason. Hey! Back off MY fave Second Generation Disney teen you–-!

"Yeah, That was kind of freaky," I think Pierre said.

"Come on, look at me! I'm the killer!" Slightly got up and walked around with an ugly face and a fake hunch-back.

"Slightly! Stop it!" Tiger-Lily yelled as he picked her up and roared. Suddenly they hear a sucking sound. Slightly dropped Tiger-Lily on the ground.

"Did you hear that?" He asked. Everyone huddled close together and listened. They could hear it again, a soft mucking noise as if someone was walking through mud with boots.

"Oh my gosh, it's the killer!" Tiger-Lily screamed.

"Shh! You don't want him to hear you!" Slightly cried.

"See! You believe us too!" Rose-Mary said to Slightly.

"Ok, ok, I'm scared too, but we can't be giving ourselves away!" Slightly replied. They hear the sound again, louder.

"That's it! I'm sleeping in the car," Tiger-Lily said and headed toward the car.

"Me too," Rose-Mary agreed.

As the girls went to the car, Slightly looked toward the woods. "You guys don't really think..." Habib began.

"We should sleep out here, in the morning we'll see whose alive or not," Slightly said mysteriously and got his sleeping bag.

"Shut-up Slightly," Jason shoved Slightly to the ground.

A little later, they went in their bags and talked. "No Pierre! Britney Spears is hotter than my mom," Slightly grunted at Pierre.

"Actually, Pierre is lucky, he can have any village french girl he wants!" Jason said.

"I know; my choices are: Wendy, Tiger-Lily, or a real fox," Slightly said. They laughed.

"Wendy's taken and a real fox isn't really me," He said. "Freakin' no girls in NeverLand..."

"You know, you could sign up to transfer to another Disney movie if you want," Habib explained.

"No way, Peter won't let me pay Mickey Mouse or leave Never Land, he'd kill me if I even asked!" Slightly replied. "So I'm stuck with Tiger-Lily," He added.

"Well, it's not like you didn't have a choice," Jason said. "You really do like her don't you?"

"Yeah, I guess," Slightly replied.

"I guess? You are practically in love with her!" Habib said.

Slightly shrugged. "Well, sometimes I do think she's my 'Wendy' if you know what I mean," Slightly shrugged again.

"Yeah, I think Rose-Mary is my 'Meg', I really like her," Jason said.

What? JASON! What about me? Wa-a-ah. Oh well, I should really start liking real people instead of video game and Disney characters. Hehe.

"Well, if you really feel that way you're lucky she's from your Disney world," I'm pretty sure Pierre said. In french.

"I guess so," Jason said. Suddenly, when they were about to go to sleep, they heard a loud shriek.

"Holy crap what was that?" Slightly said sitting up. They heard another shriek, and then quickly went to the car. Rose-Mary was just coming out.

"Jason! Slightly! Hurry!" She cried as she fell against Jason.

"What's wrong? Where's Tiger-Lily?" Jason asked.

"I don't know! I suddenly heard this shriek and woke up, plus there's blood on the car seat!" Rose-Mary cried. They ran to the side of the car and sure enough there was little droplets of blood on the seat and door.

"Oh my gosh, we have to find her!" Slightly cried.

"Wait, what if she just went to the bathroom or something-," Habib started.

"Why would she scream then?" Slightly cried.

"Ok, calm down. How about we each split up and try to find her? She couldn't be far," Jason said.

"Ok, I'll go with you Jas, and Habib and Pierre will go together," Slightly said.

"What about me?" Rose-Mary asked.

"You're going to stay in the car, lock the doors and scream loud if you need help," Jason said. Rose-Mary nodded and got in.

"Ok, let's go," Slightly said. They marched off in different directions. "Jason, I'm freaked out, what do you think happened?" Slightly asked.

"Slightly, calm down, we'll find her," Jason said. They walked through some twigs and trees. Suddenly, as Slightly was looking around, he heard a muffle and rapid footsteps.

"Whoa, what was that? Did you hear that Jason?" Slightly asked. No one answered. "Jason?" Slightly called out. He turned around but Jason wasn't there. "Jason, come out, come on you got me!" Slightly laughed nervously. When Jason didn't come out or responded, Slightly started to get scared. "Ok, I'm going to head back to the car, maybe Tiger-Lily is back," He said. He started walking back slowly when a figure jumped out of the darkness. "Aaahh!" Slightly screamed. The figure shushed him and came out to the moon-light.

"Habib! What are you doing?" Slightly asked as he realized it was Habib.

"I think I got lost from Pierre, I turned around and he wasn't there," Habib said nervously.

"Not you too! I think I lost Jason," Slightly said.

"We better head back to the car, don't you think?" Habib asked and Slightly nodded. When they started walking, they saw the car in the distance. As they walked to the car, they noticed the light was on and saw Rose-Mary inside. They ran to the side and screamed.

Rose-Mary was lying limp and pale across the seat with her throat sliced. "No!" Slightly and Habib screamed. They adjusted her body so she was sitting.

"She--is she?" Slightly asked. Habib nodded solemnly. They let her sit there, her blood running down her throat.

"What are we going to tell Jason?" Habib asked.

"If we can even find him," Slightly muttered.

Then, when Slightly turned around, he saw Tiger-Lily, Jason, and Pierre all waving at him, sitting at the logs. "Oh my gosh Habib! Look, it's them!" Slightly cried. He and Habib ran over to them and stopped short. As they looked closer, they saw that their friends wouldn't stop smiling and waving. Then, they saw that a string tied to a branch was making their hands move side to side, and they also noticed cuts and blood all over them. "Noooo!" Slightly cried. He looked at them, and watched with shock as Jason slowly fell over with a thud. "I can't believe all my friends are dead!" Slightly cried. He started crying quietly and wondering what to do.

"Slightly!" He heard someone call. He turned around. Wendy was running towards him.

"Wendy! What are you doing?" Slightly cried. But he screamed in shock as she was about to say something, but a figure jumped out of nowhere and sliced her throat. She fell limply to the ground. "Not you too!" Slightly shouted. He fell on his knees.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his arm. He screamed and got up. It was Ashton Kutcher! And of course, everyone knows what had just happened to you when you see Ashton out of nowhere.

"You got Punk'd!" He yelled in Slightly's face. Slightly covered his head in embarrassment as everyone came back to life and laughed at him.

"Ok, ok, you got me," Slightly said. After much rejoice they all sat around the fire and Slightly decided to get it straight. "OK, tell me what happened?" He asked for the millionth time.

"Alright, see, Peter was very worried about you guys up in the woods so he convinced me to get out of the party and follow you guys up here," Wendy exclaimed.

"That explained the car following us before," Jason said.

"Then what was that mucking sound?" Slightly asked.

"Well, Peter decided to spy on you instead of check, so we went to the back of the woods and made our way here, and we had to cross some swamp on the way," Wendy said.

"What about you guys disappearing? Why did you punk me?" Slightly asked.

"We were bored," Tiger-Lily explained boredly.

"What about that radio announcement? Was that real?" Rose-Mary asked.

"Yeah, but I doubt there's a killer on the loose," Wendy said. They all laughed and went back to the car, where they drove home.

"Hello? Wendy? Is anybody there?" Peter called out. He walked through the woods and came upon the clearing. "Hey, Slightly's car is gone, did they go home?" Peter asked himself. He sat down on the log. "Oh well, they'll come soon when they notice I'm gone," He shrugged. Suddenly he heard this heavy breathing behind him. "Very funny Ashton, you teen hunk!" Peter laughed. But then he heard maniacal laughter behind him. Afterwards everything went black.

The End!
