"Author?" I yelled. "Author?!" I walked upon a messy-haired girl sitting at a desk. She appeared to be sleeping.

I poked her arm. "Hey, author."

She awoke with a startled and began fumbling around for her glasses. "Oh! Um, yes? Wait, what day is it?"

"Thursday."

It took her a second to contemplate what exactly that meant. "Oh no. I forgot to publish a chapter!"

"Yup," I put a hand on my hip. "And you promised to give our readers a juicy chapter."

"Ughhhh. Curse you sleep." She laid her head back down on the desk. She began snoring instantaneously

"Ummm, Author?" I poked her. She didn't budge. "Auuuthorrr!" I gave her a shake. She didn't do anything. "We need the big guns. Bakugou!"

The ash-blonde ran up. "What?!"

"We need to wake up the Author."

"And why do I need to be here?"

"You're the only person I could think of to wake her up."

Bakugou glanced down at the sleeping Author. "WAKE UP YOU LAZY AUTHOR! I HAVE PLOTS TO FULFILL!"

The Author shot up out of her seat. "HAWKS IS BEST GIRL!" She yelled.

I gave her a weird look. Bakugou scoffed, "Kinky."

"Bakugou? When did you get here?"

"Minty called me."

"I see. And why did I need to be awakened?"

"You owe the readers an explanation. Or a chapter at least." Bakugou said

"Why do you keep missing your deadlines, Author?" I asked.

"Stress. School has been real tough on me and sometimes I feel like my teachers are unnecessarily hard on me."

"Jesus. We asked for an explanation, not a sob story."

I punched Bakugou in the arm. "You realize that you don't always have to publish on time. If you're not feeling up to it, I'm sure your readers would understand."

"Yeah, but I just feel like I owe to both them and myself."

"UGHHH! Blah blah blah. When are we getting our next chapter?" Bakugou asked.

"I have to admit, I'm curious too," I said.

"Well, I wouldn't want to give readers an incomplete and hardly-edited chapter. Plus, it's Halloween!"

"Eh?" Bakugou sneered. "The heck is that?"

"It's an American holiday where children dress up in costumes and ask for candy at people's doors around their neighborhoods," I explained

"Sounds like a kidnapper's delight."

"Bakugou, NO." I facepalmed. "Anyway, what does Halloween have to do with anything?"

"Well," The Author looked oddly suspicious. But then she fell back into her chair. "Honestly, I have no idea."

"Hmmm, we need someone with good ideas." I thought for a second. "Oh! Midoriya! Todoroky=i"

The green-haired and red- and white-haired boy poked their heads into the room.

"Yes, Asuga?" Midoriya asked

"Do you guys know what Halloween is?" I asked. Midoriya nodded.

"Yes, it's that weird kidnapping tradition," Todoroki said.

"Why does everyone associate Halloween with kidnapping?!" I facepalmed once more. "Anyway, do you have any good ideas for a Halloween-themed chapter?"

The whole room was silent. "Nope." Todoroki finally said.

Midoriya began muttering about something that would increase viewing rate while keeping words to a minimum and reducing plot reveals. Finally, he popped his head up. "What about a Q&A? I know it has nothing to do with Halloween but it's a good start."

"I'm down." I shrugged.

"But... Halloween!" The Author whined.

"Maybe next year!" Midoriya said.

"Fiiiiiiine. Just let me tell the readers."
