"Uggggghhhhh, why are English essays so hard to do?"Konata groaned with her chin settled upon her desk. It was the death of evening and Konata was still mounted to her seat. Konats hated being locked up by her responsibilities and she just usually ends up avoiding them. Which happened again tonight. Konata began to scan her bedroom for anything to use as an excuse to leave her homework for later, and eventually she did. Her eyes screeched to a halt focusing on her calendar, and then she realised.
"I completely forgot about Halloween tonight!" Konata squealed, blasting from her seat and into her wardrobe. After minutes of clattering and clutter Konata came out of her wardrobe wearing a red shirt, a cape and a witch like hat, equipped with an unusual looking staff. Any normal person would assume that Konata was dressed up as a spooky witch for Halloween, but no. She was in fact dressed as the master of explosion magic from a loved anime- MEGUMIN!
"Explosion!" Konata shouted with all her might whilst striking a pose. She then rushed to her door but then she stopped and looked back at her homework that was due tomorrow, In guilt.
"...eh-it's not like I've gained any character development towards my studies anyway." She said, fleeing the room in a hurry. Konata rushed down the hallway passing her dad towards the table and grabbed her bucket for collecting candy.
"Dad! I'm late for trick or treating, I'll be back at nine bye!" She snapped, skimming her words whilst running out the door.
"Wait, Konata." Her dad called out, but she was already gone.
"I hope she didn't forget about her mother's birthday." He sighed looking at the calendar.
Minutes later Konata noticed her school friends: Tsukasa and Kagami. Konata shouted their names, and they came over.
"Isn't that your terrible cosplay from last year?"Kagami groaned at Konata. Instead of a Halloween costume she wore casual clothes.
"Oh, Kagami just because your sooooo rich, does not mean everyone else is." Konata teased whilst acting innocent at the same time. Kagami just growled in response.
"Besides Kagami, didn't you say you were too old for Halloween?" Konata continued teasing.
"Hey! I just happen to come because Tsukasa wanted to go so i couldn't stay home, okay!?" Kagami shouted in exaggeration. Tsukasa ended up blushing a little. She wore the generic witch costume.
"Or maybe you happen to be here because of the fact you miss your best friend." Konata continued.
"SHUT IT!" Kagami screamed, boiling over. Konata and even Tsukasa bursted out in laughter while Kagami was struggling to keep herself from punching the both of them. Soon they all left the street to go trick or treating.
The 3 friends began trick or treating, and they received buckets of candy and occasionally apples and toothbrushes and also death stares from windows, but they still had a merry night. It was almost 7:50 and despite how heavy their buckets of candy where they were still determined to get more and more candy. Well, Konata and Tsukasa anyway Kagami was just demanding to go home most of the time. They eventually came over a pleasant surprise. It was Miyuki: but something was wrong. She came rushing over towards the trio in tears, with her long pink hair flying in the wind.
"Miyuki what's wrong?" Konata asked. Miyuki wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and blew her nose and began to speak.
"Konata it was horrible! Every house I go to ask for candy, the residents just scowl at me and i don't know why! Why are all the people in this street so mean? Its only my first Halloween." Miyuki cried (whilst looking completely adorable while doing it)
"Miyuki you do realize that you need a costume for trick or treating right?" Tsukasa said, noticing that Miyuki was wearing her old school uniform.
"Wait, this isn't a costume?"
Everyone sighed.
Meanwhile from a distance a ghostly voice started speaking to nothing but itself.
"This birthday my only wish is to just speak with her ounce more." It mumbled.
The four friends carried on walking along the same street whilst teaching Miyuki how Halloween works, but they did not manage to stop most houses they passed since they were all too busy having fun catching up with each other talking that they forgot to care.
"Sheesh Miyuki usually you're the one teaching us new things." Kagami sighed after finishing explaining.
"Well now that you mention it i do know some interesting Halloween legends i can tell you." Miyuki suggested.
"Uhhhhh..." Tsukasa shivered, afraid if what scary stories Miyuki has in mind.
"Fire away!" Konata said.
"Well, there was this one legend were if you say bloody Mary 3 times in front of a mirror her spirit will appear in front of you and potentially curse you in some way. And there was also this one where trick or treaters received poisonous sweets from their strange neighbours and one of them died from the sweets. And there was also this one where..."
"Miyuki?" Tsukasa interrupted.
"Yes Tsukasa?" Miyuki said.
"C-could you p-please stop it? You're scaring me!"
"Oh sorry, i kind of spoke without thinking." Miyuki apologised bashfully.
"Guys, I've been carrying these sweets for ages, and they feel like barbells! Can't we go home yet?" Kagami whined.
"Kagami your right! We should get back to trick or treating." Konata giggled-ticking off Kagami even more. She felt as if she hadn't had silly times with her friends in so long. It was almost like a season 2.
Throughout the night Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki all continued gathering as much candy as they possibly could to fuel their lust for diabetes. (JK not really) but they eventually came across a house that was...completely normal.
"I'm pretty sure we have enough, can we PLEASE go home!" Kagami whined, strained by by the weight of the barbell like bucket of candy she held.
"Okay Kagami i guess we could do one more house." Konata said, teasing Konata yet again.
"Okay!" Tsukasa and Miyuki chanted.
"Ugghh." Kagami groaned. They all stepped towards the house and knocked at the door.
"Trick or treat!" They all sang. The door then opened and a creepy looking old man with... suspicious glowing green eyes stood before them all.
"Hello little ones, don't worry I'll get out the sweeties in just a sec." He said going back into his home.
"Konata, I don't like the looks of this guy, he seems a little bit...off., he reminds me of my dentist." Miyuki mumbled.
" don't worry guys, its Halloween everyone is meant to look a little off." Konata said reassuringly.
" But didn't you see his creepy glowing green eyes?" Tsukasa shivered.
"It's properly just some sort of costume or something." Konata sighed, feeling that everyone was just overexaggerating. Before they knew it the old man came back to the door carrying a massive bowl of dusty sweets covered in a strange ectoplasm. Everyone was instantly put off the sweets already, but then he said something that instantly scared everyone off.
"Well go ahead and grab one, it not like they're POISONOUS or anything."
" AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Instantly remembering that one Halloween legend, the four friends took off in an instant, screaming their heads off and sprinting off into the street. The old man was left there lost and confused, and muttered to himself:
"Perhaps it was the body i possessed."
After the huge misunderstanding it was nearly 9 o'clock and one by one everyone began to say their goodbyes.
"Thank you for having me for this Halloween...it's been really fun hanging out with you guys again." Miyuki sobbed whilst waving goodbye.
"Don't make it sound so mushy Miyuki...you're going to make me cry too."Konata mumbled.
"I think I'm going to cry too." Tsukasa sniffled becoming more and more teary eyed.
"Let's do this again sometime then." Miyuki said smiling back. Eventually they all had a cheesy group hug, whilst crying upon each other's shoulders. But Kagami just watched them from a distance feeling oddly uncomfortable.
"Oh brother." She sighed.
After everyone returned home Konata was left alone ounce again, but instead of going home she instead walked away from the street, and She eventually reached the local graveyard. Usually being at a graveyard at Halloween would be the last thing on anyone's mind but Konata was here for a reason. She walked up to a gravestone with the words carved: KANATA IZUMI. Konata then buried her hand into her bucket of candy and took out a funny item. It was an anime figure of the character Konata was dressed as: megumin the explosion mage. Konata then placed it next to the grave and smiled.
"Don't think i forgot about you mom. Happy birthday."
And just like that she left.
But little did she know ounce she left, quite sobs came from the grave followed by a voice:
"It looks like my wish came true after all."
