Darla came back with the cookie bowl, it was nearly empty right now, she was walking in with Amber, who was dressed as Princess Fiona from the Shrek movies.

"Well, hello, you two lovely princesses." Atticus said while giving a bow.

Darla gave the best curtsy she could. "Hercules..."

"Hero of all Heroes." Amber added, bending herself, slightly in her curtsy.

"Can we get going so we can meet Mo, Cherry, Dot, and Lucky so then we can all get going to the Halloween party at the House of Mouse?" Patch said excitedly.

"You guys are going to the House of Mouse?" Amber asked.

"Yeah, we got invitations, can't you go?" Darla looked to her best friend.

"My parents and I didn't get invited," Amber shrugged. "I hope you have a good time though."

Darla frowned, she wasn't sure if she wanted to go to the party anymore since Amber couldn't go.

"Oh, Amber, such a good thing you're here," Emily said before taking out an envelope. "This invitation to the Halloween party arrived and where it's for you, it must have gotten mixed up with our mail."

"Really now?" Amber took the invite.

"Yeah, guess the letter carrier got the letters confused on the way to ours and your house." Emily giggled.

Amber saw the invite had a Mouse logo on it which could only mean one thing...

"We're going to the House of Mouse!" Darla started to cheer.

"We're going to the House of Mouse!" Amber cheered with her, taking her hands and both girls jumped for joy. "We're going to the House of Mouse! We're going to the House of Mouse!"

"Then let's go!" Patch cheered while trying to get Atticus to move.

"Oh, my gosh..." Atticus shook his head at his dog.

Darla and Amber giggled as they followed Atticus out the door to go to the House of Mouse.

After they picked up Mo, Dot, Lucky, and Cherry they were ready to go to the House of Mouse with Forte coming along as well.

Amber giggled to Dot. "You make me think of me when I was around your age."

Dot, dressed as an angel, giggled herself and hugged Lucky, who was dressed as a doggy devil.

"Can you do any tricks?" Darla asked.

"Sure, give me a dollar." Cherry held out her hand as a joke.

"Okay." Darla said, giving her a dollar.

Cherry took the dollar and put it in her pocket. "Viola!" she smiled cheekily with a wave of her wand.

"I just got tricked, didn't I?" Darla pouted.

"Yep..." Cherry smirked that she was given a dollar.

"Cerise, give her her dollar back." Forte said firmly.

"Hey, she wanted a magic trick..." Cherry smirked, rather dastardly.

"Cherry, please..." Amber spoke up.

"All right, fine..." Cherry rolled out her sleeve, grabbed the dollar and gave it back. "Here ya go, Dimples."

"Thank you, Cherry." Darla smiled, taking her dollar back.

"Sure..." Cherry folded her arms.

"All right, how do we get to the House of Mouse?" Dot asked. "None of us have ever been there."

"There's directions on the invitations," Forte informed, then walked off the other way. "Everybody, follow me."

And so they did as the sun was setting quickly and there was chilly autumn wind in the air, setting the mood of the final evening of October that was celebrated with tricks, treats, and costumes.

"It sure is spooky, the perfect mood for Halloween." Patch smiled.

"I'll say..." Cherry giggled, showing her perky side.

"Someone's in a good mood..." Mo smiled a little.

"It's Halloween..." Cherry smirked back.

"Yep, when Halloween comes, Cherry's perky side comes out." Atticus told them.

"Ohh..." the others, except Forte and Patch replied then.

"The dark atmosphere..." Cherry looked around. "The screams of terror... The colorful costumes... I'M BACK!" she grinned wide and ran ahead of Forte.

"Wow, she's way more perky than she usually is." Atticus said.

"Wow, Lucky, you sure do look great in your costume." Patch smiled at his father figure.

"Yeah, much better than a ballerina tutu with a princess tiara." Lucky chuckled to his son figure.

"Yeah, that wasn't the best look for you, Dad." Patch said.

Lucky hid a small that Patch had called him 'Dad'.

After walking a while, they came up to a night club that had the House of Mouse logo on it with a young adult sized dog with buck teeth in a valet uniform. They had made it.

"That must be Max." Patch whispered.

"Yep." Atticus nodded.

"Hi, guys!" Max greeted with a smile. "You must be here for the Halloween party, huh?"

"Yeah, we all got invitations." Dot handed the envelope.

Max took it and looked through it. "You guys must be special if Mickey wants you here, this place is exclusive... I have to have special permission to bring a girl from school here," he then looked to them. "All right, you're clear to go through."

They all then walked into the building.

An unlucky white duck was dressed as a devil with a pitchfork and jumped in front of them to scare them. "BOO!"

"Hey, Donald," Atticus smiled, unfazed. "Happy Halloween."

"Aww, phooey!" Donald frowned that he was unable to scare anyone.

They then continued on to get seats.

Forte took them to a table. "You stay right here, I was asked to join a different table..." he told them and walked off. "Be good and stay out of trouble... That goes double for you, Cerise..."

"Okay..." Cherry said as she sent a quick text on her phone, then looked around in delight for the Halloween party.

"Gosh, sure are a lot of villains in this place tonight..." Amber remarked.

"Yeah," Atticus said. "Well, at least no one related to King Sombra is here."

This made everything go silent.

Cherry went to an app on her phone and played dramatic music on the table top.

"What was that?" Darla asked.

"That was the sound of doom for everybody around here." Cherry replied, dryly. She then looked up to Chernabog with wide eyes, but then looked flatly across the table.

"I sense darkness in your heart..." Chernabog said to her.

"Wouldn't be the first time." Cherry deadpanned.

Chernabog then went over to Atticus. "Did you say King Sombra?" He then asked.

"Um, yes, Chernabog, sir, I am his descendant AKA his nephew." Atticus told him nervously.

Chernabog was impressed with Atticus being the nephew of the evil King Sombra. "Well, blow me down!" he then grabbed his tiny hand and shook it firmly.

"Uhhh..." Atticus felt a little shaken, he may had been very strong, but that was still a little shocking.

"How's about you sit with the big boys?" Chernabog suggested, referring to himself and the rest of the villains.

"Do it, maybe you can find out if they're going to be up to anything evil so then we can stop them." Mo whispered.

"Yeah." Patch added.

Atticus nodded to them and gave a sinister look to the head of Bald Mountain. "You got it!"

Forte looked for the table he was given, looking all around.

"Yoo-hoo!" a female voice called with a wave of her red gloved hand. "Over here!"

"This isn't good..." Forte muttered to himself once he saw who he was supposed to be seated with. Cruella deVil, Captain Hook, Jafar, and even Ursula.

"Ah, Forte, it's so good to see you here." Cruella said.

"Have we met?" Forte folded his arms and avoided eye contact with her.

"Oh, come now, Forte, don't you remember the special times we spent together?" Cruella asked.

"I wish not to remember..." Forte felt creeped out by Cruella, even he had standards.

"Come sit..." Cruella forced him into a chair with them. "After all, we're all villains here..."

"Yes, especially since we have a descendant of King Sombra," Jafar smiled evilly after Banzai left him to get back to his table. "I just got word that someone named Atticus is the descendant of the evil King Sombra."

"Oh... Do tell..." Ursula smiled wickedly once she heard Atticus's name.

Forte looked nervous in his eyes, but luckily, he could hide it from his 'fellow villains'. Jafar told them everything he heard from Banzai and where they all were interested, but since Atticus was the cousin of Ariel, Ursula knew that Atticus's dark side would need some help over taking his body.

"We'll just need to figure out the right way to do it..." Ursula grinned maliciously as always. "Besides, that boy is also a relative to my sworn enemy, that little mermaid who stopped me from taking over the ocean!"

"Hmm... Maybe this will help," Jafar said, showing a vial with a dark red liquid potion inside. "This potion turns anyone who drinks it evil."

"Just like that?" Forte questioned.'

"But of course and I know the perfect victim for it..." Jafar chuckled darkly.

"Oh, but this is nice," Cruella grew melodramatic. "All treats, but no TRICKS! Why, if this were my club, I'd run things differently."

"Crash people?" Ursula suggested.

"Pillage and plunder?" Captain Hook suggested.

"Blah! Blah! Blah! All talk and no threat, what a bunch of dull villains!" Iago glared.

"Well, this year will be different," Jafar told his bird minion. "Not only are we going to bring back King Sombra's nephew, but I also got a trick for Mickey Mouse," he then took out an hourglass. "But you'll all have to wait until midnight." he then added with a wicked laugh.

'Oh, I hope Atticus doesn't drink that potion.' Forte thought to himself.
