You know, I haven't done a Carvie oneshot since ch. 35 and I know some of you have been requesting more Carvie for a while. So, here you go! Halloween-themed!
Halloween has come to Auradon and as the full moon shone bright in the dark, dark sky, our favorite teenagers were getting ready for the spookiest night of the year.
Evie and Mal were in their dorm room, waiting for their friends to arrive. The room was decorated in plastic ghosts and orange and black streamers, setting the feel of this special holiday. Evie sat in front of her vanity, putting the finishing touches on her outfit. A black tiara was placed on her dark blue hair and she wore a black and dark blue and red vampire-y dress. She turned around to look at Mal's costume, and sighed in annoyance.
"A witch, Mal?" Evie asked, flatly.
Mal glanced at her black witch hat and dress with purple accents and smiled.
"I think I look good," Mal replied, proudly. "And you're a princess? How original."
"For your information, I'm a vampire princess," Evie corrected.
"Whatever," Mal replied, rolling her eyes.
Just then, the door opened and in came their friends, dressed up in their own costumes. Chad was dressed a the Mad Hatter, Lonnie was dressed as a zombie, Doug looked like some kind of scientist, Audrey was dressed like a princess, Carlos as a werewolf, Jane as a mouse, and Ben...didn't look very different.
"Hey, guys. Cool costumes," Evie complimented.
"Except for Audrey," Mal said, noticing her 'lame' costume.
"What's wrong with it?" Audrey asked.
"You're dressed as a princess. Where's your creativity?" Mal questioned.
"I'm not a princess. I'm a queen. There's a difference," Audrey remarked.
"Fine," Mal grumbled. "Where's Jay?"
"He said he'd meet us there," Ben answered.
"Wait. Where's your costume?" Mal asked.
"What are you talking about? This is my costume. I'm going as a king," Ben answered, gesturing to his crown and suit.
Mal sighed. "You Auradonians seriously lack creativity," she insulted.
"Says the girl in a witch costume," Audrey shot back, earning a glare from Mal.
"Well, I actually have some uniqueness to my costume," Doug stated.
Mal looked at him up and down. "You're a boring old scientist," she retorted.
"Actually, I'm Professor Archimedes Q. Porter," Doug replied.
"Who?" Mal asked.
"The guy who studied gorillas," Doug said.
Mal looked at Evie, who just shrugged. Doug sighed.
"Never mind," he said, giving up.
Doug walked over to Lonnie and Chad, leaving the conversation. Mal, obviously kind of uptight, was still upset about Ben's costume.
"You seriously couldn't think of anything else besides a king?" Mal asked.
"Not really," Ben answered, being okay with his girlfriend yelling at him.
"Why don't you be a werewolf like me?" Carlos butted in.
"A werewolf?" Ben asked.
"Yeah. They're awesome," Carlos answered, showing off his costume.
He wore a red-eared headband with black tips on his head, fake fur attached to his red, white, and black clothes and his signature dog tail hanging on his belt.
"Um...sure. Wouldn't hurt to try," Ben agreed.
"Great. I think I've got a spell to change your costume," Mal said as she guided Ben to the other side of the room.
While Mal was busy fixing Ben's costume, Evie approached Carlos, a small smile on her face. She crept up behind him shyly and stopped beside him.
"Hey," she greeted.
"Hey," Carlos replied, turning to face her.
"Nice costume," Evie complimented.
"Same for you," Carlos said. "Y-you look beautiful."
"Thanks," Evie said, hiding a blush.
In the background, Lonnie was shouting something about them going soon. There was a party going on in the courtyard of the school they were all planning on attending. Carlos glanced at Lonnie, listening to her make the announcement, then his focus was directed back to Evie.
"So, do you want to go together?" Carlos asked.
"I would, but werewolves and vampires don't get along," Evie stated jokingly, winking at Carlos before taking off.
Carlos stood there, confused. All his friends were leaving to go to the party and Evie disappeared into the small crowd leaving the room. Carlos snapped out of it and followed his friends.
They soon reached the courtyard, which was all decorated for Halloween. Big orange ball lights decorated the trees and there were a few tents that held food and drinks. As soon as they got there, Doug, Chad, and Lonnie wandered off to the food tent. Ben, Audrey, and Jane decided to follow them to make sure they don't get into trouble, leaving the others. Before they left Ben told them they'd meet up later at one of the tables. Mal, Evie, and Carlos were left walking around the courtyard, watching everyone having fun.
"This place is so cool!" Evie said excitedly.
Mal was walking in the front like a leader, while Evie was behind her and then Carlos. They followed their purple-haired friend through the courtyard.
"Yeah. No blood. No guillotines. Just like in the Isle," Mal added sarcastically.
"Hey, where's Jay? Ben said he'd meet us here," Carlos asked.
"No idea. We should go look for him," Mal guessed.
As if on queue, Jay leaped out from behind a tent and scared his friends with a creepy skeleton mask. Mal yelped and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Found him," Carlos stated.
"Jay!" Mal shouted angrily.
Jay took off his mask. His all black pajama-like clothes and sword strapped to his back indicated he was dressed as a ninja. He originally wanted to go as a creepy ghost covered in blood with a chainsaw, but Carlos and Ben urged him not to in order to keep things a little less gory.
"That was fun," Jay chuckled. "I love the sound of you screaming my name at night."
The four suddenly went awkwardly silent. Mal raised an eyebrow as she, Evie, and Carlos stared at Jay, wondering if he knew what he said. Jay turned his head away from his friends for a second, then turned back to them.
"That came out wrong," Jay said.
"I hate you," Mal retorted.
"I know," Jay replied with a smile, getting up from off the ground. "So, what are we gonna do first? Scare kids? Eat hot dogs?"
"I think I'm going to pass on the scaring and join our friends over by the tables," Carlos answered, pointing to where the others were at.
"Me too. I'd rather talk to friends than make a bunch of little kids cry," Evie added, secretly judging Jay for wanting to do such a horrible thing.
"Your loss," Jay quickly said before turning to his purple-haired friend. "Mal?"
"Of course. It brings me such joy to scare kids on Halloween," Mal answered.
"Okay, you two have fun then. Meet us later at the tables?" Evie asked.
"Sure," Mal replied.
"Bye, guys," Carlos said, smiling adorably.
The four parted ways, separated into pairs. Carlos felt particularly happy being paired up with Evie. She was always the more gentler one of the group. If he were stuck with Jay or Mal, they'd try to scare the jellybeans out of him like last time. As Carlos and Evie walked to the food tents before going over to their friends, the De Vil remembered something Evie said before they came here. He smirked as he thought of the perfect thing to say. He and Evie took a paper plate from the stack and moved through the tent, taking food and putting it onto their plates.
"You know, I recall you said something about us not being together at this party," Carlos began.
Evie frowned in confusion. When Carlos saw this, he just couldn't wait to laugh.
"I believe you said something along the lines of, 'werewolves and vampires don't get along,'" Carlos said, mimicking Evie's voice. "And look where we are."
Evie let out a short chuckle. "You're a smart little wolf, aren't ya?" she asked teasingly.
"I am, aren't I?" Carlos agreed, taking pride in his remarks.
Evie giggled. Something about that made Carlos' stomach flutter. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it could just be him getting a little nauseous from taking three handfuls of candy from the giant pumpkin candy bowl at the end of the line.
After getting their food, Evie and Carlos walked over to their friends, who were sitting on two separate tables. Doug, Chad, and Lonnie were at one, and Audrey, Ben, and Jane were at another right next to it. The two VKs dressed as a werewolf and a vampire sat over by Doug, Chad, and Lonnie.
"Hey, guys," Evie greeted, then noticed how much candy they had on the table. "Aiming for a sugar rush?"
"Yup. We're gonna be bouncing off the walls when we get home," Doug answered excitedly.
He and Chad looked at each other with big grins on their faces. "Oh yeah!" they said in unison, high-giving.
Lonnie rolled her eyes playfully at their blossoming bromance while Evie and Carlos couldn't help but smile at their enthusiasm.
"I still can't believe you're dating him," Evie said, referring to Chad.
"Me neither, but he's cool," Lonnie replied, looking at Chad.
"I think you meant to say, 'cute,'" Chad stated, making the others laugh.
Evie turned to Carlos, who surprisingly had chili sauce all over his face and a little on his costume. She and the others stared at the mess on the werewolf's face, making him look up from his plate, wondering why they were staring at him.
"What?" Carlos asked.
"Carlos, your face," Evie pointed out.
"I know, I know. It's gorgeous and you can't take your eyes off me," Carlos said, knowing how attractive he was.
"No, you idiot. Your face is covered in chili sauce!" Evie exclaimed. "And your costume!"
Carlos looked down at his costume. "It's just the top part," he stated.
Evie sighed. "Come with me," she said grabbing a bunch of napkins from the table. "Excuse us."
Evie and Carlos got up and moved to an area behind one of the tents. Evie began wiping off the chili from his face, much to Carlos' disliking.
"Evie, come on. You're not my mom. Stop wiping my face," Carlos stated.
"I wouldn't have to do this if you would've just been a little cleaner when eating," Evie replied.
Carlos sighed and stood there, waiting for Evie to finish. He felt her and the napkin she was holding move down to his costume along the collar part. She somehow ended up near his neck and she paused. Carlos began to worry.
"Um, you're not gonna bite my neck, are you?" Carlos asked, afraid to look down.
Evie laughed. "No, silly. I was just admiring your costume," she explained.
"Oh," Carlos said, relieved.
"Where'd you get it? I doubt any store in Auradon has a costume quite like this," Evie commented.
"They don't. I made it myself," Carlos answered.
Evie looked up at Carlos, surprised. "You did?" she asked. "Why? You could've just asked me to make it for you."
"I know, but I wanted to...I don't know...impress you with my sewing skills," Carlos answered.
He looked down at his costume, then back up at Evie.
"Then again, I might've never had any sewing skills at all," Carlos added, feeling a little embarrassed of his stitching.
"You look fine," Evie reassured. "And I think it was really sweet of you to try and impress me with your sewing."
"Really? You think so?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah. Though, the question I have is, why did you want to impress me?" Evie asked.
Carlos froze. "Oh...u-uh...I uh," he stuttered.
Evie giggled and kissed him on the cheek, making him fall silent with shock.
"It's okay. You can tell me later," she said.
Though she kinda already knew why he wanted to impress her, she wanted to hear it from him.
"I guess I was wrong," Evie said. "Werewolves and vampires do get along."
After a few seconds, Carlos began to smile. But that smile didn't last very long as the two were spooked by a couple of jerks going around scaring kids and making them cry. Evie had clutched Carlos as they both screamed at the sight of a scary guy with a chainsaw. When they heard a familiar laugh, they realized who the jerks were. Jay took off the mask and turned off the chainsaw. Mal came out of hiding, laughing along with a phone in her hand.
"What are you guys doing here?" Evie asked.
"Scaring kids, duh," Jay answered. He turned to Mal. "You got it?"
"Yep," Mal answered. "Comgrats, guys. You're scare victims #17."
Evie detached herself from Carlos and glared at her friends for scaring them. Carlos noticed Jay had a chainsaw. Remembering his original costume he wanted to wear, he became a bit worried.
"Jay? Where'd you get that chainsaw?" Carlos asked.
"Relax, dude. I got it in the janitor's closet inside the school. Apparently he likes to scare kids as well," Jay answered.
"Well, that's just peachy," Carlos said sarcastically.
"Hey, Jay. You know what else I recorded?" Mal asked, smirking.
"No. What?" he asked, leaning in to see Mal's phone.
"Carlos and Evie talking," Mal answered playing the video. "And look, she kissed him on the cheek. How sweet."
Evie and Carlos' eyes popped open. Mal and Jay laughed and ran away. Carlos and Evie ended up chasing them all around the decorated courtyard.
"Give us that phone, Mal!" Carlos shouted.
"Never! I'm putting it in your wedding slideshow!" Mal shouted back.
There's plenty more where that came from...
