Disclaimers: Nothing of the movie belongs to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to Disney.

Warnings: I'm going to do this story in the first person point of view of Max as he deals with his one year term of life in school and settled at home. But this is going to be the movie from his point of view as he recalls his first Halloween in Salem, before he and his sister and girlfriend go for their night out that night, before things really get going.

Chapter 3: Family Meeting, Allison, And Preparations

As my friends who once were my enemies on my arrival were now my new gang, my team, the girl I fell in love with was my now my girlfriend. and my relationship with my family had changed me forever. "Give me fifteen minutes, and I'll be right there, Danni, I got to get my bike from school." I said and she nodded smiling as she took her bus back to school as she got her things and I grabbed my bike as we headed out then.

"Hey see you tonight bro!" I heard Jay and Ice call out to me then and I smiled and nodded to him then. "Come on time to pick her up, so we can get ready." Allison said and I smiled as we headed for my sisters school then. "You expecting any trouble tonight, after what happened in class ?" I asked and she sighed. "If Walker does what you tried yeah, but this time we know what to do, and it's because we're witch hunters."

"But minor babysitting duty aside, Danni is like my baby sister now, and I'm not letting go. If they decide to target her again we're getting rid of them a second time right now." she said and I nodded as we reached the grade school and I headed for her class. "Hey kiddo I'm here." I said and she smiled and moved over to me as she gave her a hug. "So six for trick or treating guys?" I asked and they nodded smiling as I heard a meow.

And turned to see Binx running up to us and chuckled. "Hey man, coming with us right now." I asked and this time he answered me in a human voice. "Yeah Max, Danni, Allison, it's good to see you guys again, but bad news. Dad heard Walters discussing something with a member or two of the newbies in town. We could have trouble tonight, though it's do to another break in." he said and we nodded as I answered him gently.

"Alright, I'll report into our parents and let them, know we could have a repeat tonight." I said and Allison nodded "Yep, alright I'll be ready by the time we come to get you, come on, we better head for my place." she said and we headed for her house. "Hey dad." I said and he smiled, her parents after seeing us together they said to lay off the formality and call them mom and dad and I've been doing that ever since we got together.

As they were my future in-laws now, looking between us then gently, he said it then. "Hey guys, as I said you got the night off, I hired someone for trick or treating duty, but I'm making it clear here, if there's trouble and some stupid idiot pulls that stunt call the house and tell us, because you scared the heck out of us last year baby, be careful, son take care of her and protect her for me." he said and I nodded to that news gently.

"Sure thing dad, if we're picking her up, you want us to eat here, before we go trick or treating, because though a minor date, we got tickets to the see the movie tonight?" I asked him gently. "Sure you can have dinner in the kitchen and then head out and enjoy yourselves tonight, just be careful though guys." he said and we nodded to his request. "See you in couple hours honey." I said and she smiled as she answered me then.

"You too baby." she said and we kissed as we left and I looked at my sister. "Alright fast dinner here than we head out, so with that we got the route memorized. At the moment I've got Binx dropping in in case he decides to try tonight though. So if the guys are screwing around stay out of range or you're likely getting hit by something okay." I told her and she nodded to me, as we headed for then gently as I smiled then.

Two Hours Later

"Danni you ready, we got to pick Allison, before we go trick or treating!" I called out and heard my nine year old sister call back to me. "Yeah, just let me get my flashlight, than I'll be down." she said and I nodded as I adjusted my costume. 'Man, well she wanted to go trick or treating as Wendy and Peter Pan this year if I made that bargain with her, time to keep that promise after last year's fiasco.' I thought with a smile then to this.

As I got ready to load up I heard the bell go off and opened the door to see a kitten sitting on the haystacks next to the front door pressing the doorbell. And as I looked from her to Binx who was sitting on the door step then. "Hello Max, good to see you again friend." he said and I smiled. "You too bro, what's going on if you came to see us exactly?" I asked and he sighed as he answered me gently at that question.

"With several new arrivals we could have a repeat performance Max, you know the dangers just like I do, if these kids are skeptics and are virgins. So you better bag your jeans and stuff, because if they screw around and break into the house, it's going to be last Halloween all over again, just this time you're the town local." he told me and I nodded as I answered him as I crossed my arms then as I said it then.

"You see the guy who decided on that Binx?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah, it's a redhead dressed in black turtleneck with a tied dyed pattern like the tapestry in your room." he said and I nodded, already knowing who the idiot was. "Derek, so help me god, if they target Danni a second time and I'm killing you myself, you idiot." I growled and he looked at me at that as he answered me then gently at that.

"Still having flashbacks of last Halloween Max?" he asked and I nodded to him as I answered his question with a sigh as he walked into the dining room. "The jackass insulted my entire family out of a temper tantrum and I just about lost my temper. In the middle of it, before Jay grabbed me Binx, you were right, I can't lose her, not like that. If it takes a repeat performance it's going to have to result in another case study here

"And of what the holiday really is and what it means man." I told hm and he nodded as he answered me at that. "I figured you were going to understand, we finished things together, but our friendship grew out of one night together." he said and I nodded. " I understand alright Binx, I nearly gave up when they destroyed my reading spot. But it took one thing to remember what it was that they were afraid of, here right now."

"Said was the candle only brought them back for that one Halloween night, and without the life force of children, when dawn approached and the sun came up they were history. Alright come on, I'm bagging a couple batches of salt and a few other things, fortunately the skeptics are over with and if she thinks she knows anything. And she'd better think again, because I know her weaknesses at the moment, but the guys are helping us."

"And she was only around one night and doesn't understand a thing about the 20th century and she's not getting her hands on Danni a second time here. You coming along with us for trick or treating though?" I asked and he nodded as I heard a second meow. Just as Danni came down and smiled at the duo. "Hey guys, time to go?" she asked and they nodded as I explained this to her gently at that remark as she sat down.

"They're coming with us and Allison Danni, but it looks like a repeater this time." I told her and she nodded as she put him down. "Great, the stupid airhead who does it is going to be like us, an out of towner and a skeptic, alright you better bag your duffle bag. As it's going to be a very long night, if this goes situation for situation all night." she said, just as I was answering the guys arrived and they both look agitated right then.

"Jay, Ice, what now?" she asked and Jay answered that. "If Binx said this already, it's Walters alright, he planning on breaking into the house and lighting the candle." he said and I nodded. "Damn it, alright I got to get the keys from Mr. Jacobs to get into the school, but we're all bunking here tonight, until dawn after we do this. Nobody open that book or they're going to find us." I said and the guys nodded to that remark firmly.

"Wait, better idea is waiting, we stay at my house, the witches check and once gone, we move it here, if they break out of the ceramic heating furnace in the cellar at school." Ice said and we nodded in agreement. "Agreed, but five kids and a teenager trapped in the body of a black cat right now, should do it. But at the same time they return as do I right now, so this should be good for a third a showdown." Binx said and he smiled sternly.

"Allison is not going to take it well when she hears this though, fortunately she and I are practically sisters now. And our parents don't mind that you're acting babysitter when it's a minor date tonight during the trick or treating. Though the guys better stay out of the way here, because last year was enough I think they learned their lesson. Just after getting caged, though I think they insulted her with some crude statement."

"And that was their near fatal mistake here." she said and I chuckled as I answered her. "Being caged by Sarah who is practically lusting for it is enough, that woman is love driven maniac, as for Winifred, stay close to me and this time if Billy gets involved, stay put, the same goes for you Em." I said and they both nodded. "No kidding, that woman is a tramp." Jay said with a growl and I nodded firmly to that as Danni switched subjects.

"Emily why take to body of a kitten exactly?" she asked and she chuckled. "I'm eight years old, so I thought that the look of a kitten would work for me. And while Thackery decided on his three year old cat look, because he's sixteen years old like Max is. So this way we get by un-noticed, though as your entire school saw us like this. We got trouble tonight." she said and we nodded to that as I looked at him as Jay hid a chuckle to that.

"Alright salt keeps evil away, it protects white witches protected from their powers as we saw it when it did a reversal after it hit her broomstick, they can't touch hollow ground, because they're evil witches and at dawn that's it for them. The window of opportunity for them is from now till six in the morning, if some stupid idiot lights the candle, I got to grab the book and keep it away from her all night." I said to him and he nodded to that.

As he answered me. "Yes we got a full moon, a bunch maniacs out and we've got fifteen new arrivals who don't believe the legend running loose all over the city. Did your teacher tell you that legend this afternoon?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah and Derek Walters had the same reaction I did when she told us that. Allison and I are in every single class together now, as I gave my report to her she was impressed, that I took to it."

"And so quickly when she was irritated I didn't last year though, but I was listening to the story as I heard your entire background. And more closely to knowing what happened to you guys that night. After giving the same remark she told me last Halloween, I knew Mrs. Andrews was satisfied I changed that fast. I'm also her star student along with Allison and we've been doing added research into the legend and learned quite a bit."

"And from it ever since we met you, the trio and Billy that night, but with your parents back, they just ticked off the wrong people. But I feel like Langenkamp in trying to deal with this after Krueger started. Hearing your side of the story, though, I'm not letting that legend take another younger sibling from the one that adores them. Those witches are never touching another child in Salem ever again." I told him and he nodded gently.

" Once you suffer being a victim and deal with what you had last year than things like this changes your perspectives for life actually. As to why that is we always took black magic seriously in our lives and our parents were puritans when we were still alive, but everything you know is getting used against the trio now Max. You know plenty that you can guarantee they never take another life." he said and I nodded in agreement to that.

"Seeing it through new eyes after a night of madness that night I'm not the same kid I was then, our bond has only grown stronger. And I'm not letting you go this soon either, stay close to me baby sister, if we have to deal with a break in at the house." I told her and she nodded as she gave me a hug and tightened my arms around her. "I get why brother, believe right now, but I'm not leaving you, like I didn't that night."

"We know where our parents are, that's 80's of the town local adult population is going to be, others are on candy duty. Aside from Allie's parents, but our own now: Mom and dad are heading for the party at town hall and it's a full moon. So same as that night, full moon on All Hallow's Eve, and a new skeptic in town and we got the crazies on the loose. As well and a bunch of skeptics who don't take this stuff seriously enough right noe."

"Well at least for us we don't have to worry too much, because we know the legends are true, because we met all of them in one night. Though if they set the alarm off when or if the candle turned itself back on full blast it's going to be a very long night. Though now that I see why they closed the museum down I don't blame them. Said legends have a darkside no one that lived them understands and they don't take it seriously enough."

"No one as every person that is a skeptic doesn't believe it until they see it for themselves. If we have to bail his but out of the fire. We're have him arrested for reckless endangerment now." she told me and I nodded in agreement. "I'm triggering the alarm to let the council know we had another break in at the house. And that the candle was lit, so we have the fire department arriving." I said and the guys nodded firmly.

As I grabbed my duffle bag that I kept my baseball equipment in, and bagged my sweater, jacket, my bat, two batches of salt and my lighter, that I used to set off the alarm the year before. "If they destroy the roof again you better get the car ready Max, you got your drivers license, though that was a lame joke last year." she said and I started laughing at that as I prepared for what was going to be a very long night.

"Binx did I have it right your parents are members of the council?" I asked and she answered that as she jumped on my bed as Danni sat next to her. "You did Max, father was a member of the council of elders when we were alive. The witches were working out ways to stay alive forever and chose me, but Sarah Sanderson flying by our bedroom. The window was enough to scare our flocks." Binx explained to us and I nodded to hom

"Animals can sense when a creature is full of dark arts and black magic, so our flocks and and herds were scared of her. When they hypnotized me he ordered Elijah to get our father and the elders and came after me. And as you saw from the state of his clothes when you saw his spirit last year he landed in a creek next to the house. And his tunic was torn by the branches of the trees." she said and she looked at her as she said it.

"Who's Elijah exactly?" she asked and he answered that. "He was my best mate Danni, I could hear Sarah, but I was looking for Emily that morning. And walked over to his farm, he lived two doors down from us. The woods to us were a danger, because there were wolves and other dangers in it, but with a trio of witches that were into black magic. And we were puritans it meant that if she'd been hypnotized they were about to kill her."

"I knew I had to get my parents and the elders involved, everything you did research on this past year. The legend as Mrs. Andrews explained it was exactly as you put it you two. After she made that prophecy my father and the elders locked, bolted and barricaded the door shut, I've been guarding that house to prevent any teenager. And one who grew up a skeptic now from breaking in and lighting the candle on Halloween night all that time."

"As to that, you guys were my chance to heal finally, separated by 300 years of changes maybe, but we're two sides of the same coin like you said. I know you saw me as your best friend Max, I feel the same about you. But just as you told your team mate, just because you can't see the source of the legends it doesn't make them any less true. And then they were before now in this case, that's what it means to be a believer."

"Like the legends on that troll you watch on the comedian, or this man that got turned into a dream menace. It's just like that, as children our souls are beyond pure, to these witches that specialize in demonology and black magic. It's everything we learned from the bible is true, if you believe in it." he said and she finished his sentence as the four of us nodded and Emily said it for the both of them at that as she looked between us.

"And just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there, seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing, though we can't see the lord or the devil that doesn't mean that they're not there. Lucifer was temptation, the lord is the straight and narrow, we choose one or the other in life, but acts of God are where we differ from others. The puritans focused on everything that had to do with the Hebrews and the Catholics now."

"To us a witch of the sisters caliber had to be destroyed, before they destroyed us, for the wiccans they specializecin light magic. In your age, Allison proved she learned enough she could outwit them at the moment here. But that goes back to the remark of knowledge is power, you proved that when you made it clear. But science was anathema to us back in the 1700's." she said and I smiled at her as I answered her at that.

"Yeah I hear that kiddo, after last Halloween I decided I was learning as much as I could about you and we reopened the museum, the movie company decided on making a movie on our first Halloween here. Everything last year just made the town more popular since." I told her and he chuckled. "Well my back history came to the fore pretty fast. I take it you wanted to hear it this time in class huh?" he asked and we nodded to him.
