Shadow: I've never owned a car 0_0

Swiss: 0_0

Ah, Halloween, the day of dancing, endless amounts of sweets, scary masks and trick or treating: The day of impractical begging for sweets, and the day of laughter and costumes.

Selene had no idea what the big deal was; Ruby did, but didn't really like the idea of dressing up as different things to scare people. She got scared really easily, mind you.

So when the mysterious/annoying day rolled in, daytime becoming night, Ruby and Selene sat back in Ruby's dorm, sitting on her bed, idly reading through various magazines and study books. They strayed their eyes over to the middle of the dorm when they heard laughter, and saw with amused eyes that Ryner had dressed up...as Jack Skellington.

Selene at least knew about Jack Skellington. Ruby simply giggled and returned to reading her Grimm Studies book.

But Selene's eyes then strayed to Ruby, who was sat really close- as in, their shoulder and upper torsos were touching; and yet, she didn't mind. That little kiss they shared turned them both into a secret couple.

Much to the Moon Goddess's annoyance and confusion as to why they were keeping it a secret, but she had decided to leave Selene alone, much to the girl's pleasure of having an empty head for once- whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is currently up for debate.

Regardless, Ruby decided to link her hands with Selene's while reading, causing the slightly taller girl's heart to thunder and her face to flush. To hide it, she lifted the magazine she was reading higher to cover her face from the rest of them while Ruby simply hummed a song.

"Relax, Sel. When they're all out trick-or-treating, we'll finally get some alone time." Ruby whispered, keeping her voice low as possible for Selene to hear only and the rest of them to not even pay attention. "Then we can eat cookies." She winked. Innocent as ever, but that was one of the thing Selene loved about her.

Back to the rest of them, who were all stood in a circle in the middle of the room, they were all planning their night.

Yang, ironically, was dressed up as a wrestler, while Blake was dressed as a cat- much to her annoyance, the blonde bombshell known as Yang picked it out for her. Ryner, as mentioned before, was dressed as Jack Skeleton, while Weiss was dressed as some Fairy Tale princess- it seems even the grumpy heiress loved Halloween.

Team JNPR had all decided to head out without them, getting there earlier to 'maximise their chances of more sweets' as Nora put it.

While they were all chatting away, the clock- or more of, their watches- all showed the time of six pm, their time to head out.

As they filed out, one by one, Ryner leading with a small scowl on his face and Yang leaving last, she turned to them and shouted. "Are you guys seriously not coming?"

"Nah, you know I hate Halloween!" Ruby shouted back, which caused Yang to smirk.

"Yeah, but you love the candy."

Ruby began to stutter. "Well...uh...I-that's...completely true..." she hung her head as Selene began laughing, and as Yang walked away, closing the door and following her friends, she heard something along the lines of 'stop laughing at me!'

Ruby was so fun to tease on Halloween. It just made her night a whole lot livelier.

"You know..." Ruby voiced. She had dropped her book when Yang left, and had currently began stroking her chin thoughtfully. "...There are bits about Halloween that I do like."

This got Selene's attention. "Are they fun?"

Ruby nodded enthusiastically. "Yep! First we're going to carve some pumpkins, and then we're going to decorate the place and then-"

Selene threw a hand over Ruby's mouth, smiling as she did. "Ruby, while that sounds like fun, I can't hear you when you ramble."

When she let go of Ruby's mouth, Ruby looked down in embarrassment and shame. "Oh...okay..."

Selene realised her mistake and worked to quell the girl's sorrow. "No, Ruby! I don't mean that, it's just a bit hard to hear what you're saying, is all!" Selene waved her arms around frantically trying to calm Ruby down.

Ruby started smiling. "Okay then!" she jumped off of the bed, surprising Selene. "First order of business is... Pumpkin carving!"

Selene simply shook her head and hopped down, following Ruby into the kitchen of the dorm and watching as Ruby pulled two massive pumpkins out of nowhere. "Where...how did you...? You know what, I'll forget it, and move on."

Ruby nodded. "Probably better that way..." she then pulled two carving knives out of nowhere and handed on to Selene, who hung it out in front of her as if it had the plague all over it. "Now, first thing's first! You grab your pumpkin and find the bit that you want to carve the face in..."

Selene put a hand up. "Um...don't you have to...uh...gut them?"

Ruby nodded, smiling widely. "Yeah, I al-already did that..." she rubbed a hand behind her neck sheepishly, smiling as she did so.

Selene just giggled and grabbed the pumpkin, turning to Ruby. "Then what?"

"You...You stab into it, and...How to put this...? You, uh, draw a face into it." Ruby stuttered; describing how to do this was much easier in her head. But that involved a lot of cookies and a happy faced pumpkin.

Selene must have decided the pumpkin needed murdering, because the next thing they know, Selene's covered in pumpkin pieces, and a half-decimated pumpkin sitting next to her.

Selene looked at a laughing Ruby, then down to her clothes, then back to Ruby, then back to her clothes, and finally the knife. "I think I did it wrong."

"You...You think!?" Ruby was laughing now, her stomach having to be held. That was the funniest thing ever to happen on Halloween, ever. When she calmed down, she walked over to a blushing and embarrassed Selene, and grabbed the hand that held the knife. "C'mon, I'll help you, okay?" Ruby's eyes held an innocence within that she simply could not say no to.

So Selene nodded, and Ruby wormed her way around the back of Selene, her chest flat up against Selene's back and her hand gently holding Selene's waist, while the other held her hand and guided the knife as she sliced into the pumpkin.

"See..." Ruby's head was next to her face, her cheek pressing against Selene's blushing one as Ruby guided her hand, soft and delicately. "...You have to be gentle with it, you have to stab it, but softly, get it?"

Selene, not wanting the contact to end, simply nodded. "Good, now, when you've stabbed into it, you need to drag it across slowly, but with strength okay?"

Again, Selene just nodded to everything Ruby said as Ruby's quiet soft voice guided her as she made soft strokes with her hand.

Time eluded her, and before she knew it, there, right in front of her, was a finished pumpkin, smiling widely with pointed teeth at the edges of it's mouth and pieces of the pumpkin that were cut out strewn across the table.

"Is it okay?" Selene asked, nervous that she had failed her second attempt also.

Ruby pulled the knife out of Selene's hand, placing it down, and then wrapping her arms around Selene waist, making Selene smile and flush red all over. "It's great!" She beamed, snuggling into her shoulder.

Selene giggled, looking over her shoulder to the red girl. "So, what's next?"

[Ryner]

"I hate you all." Ryner stated stoically. "Love you too o-lovely Ryner of mine." Yang whispered to him. Earning a glare from the slightly taller boy. They had dressed him up in a pinstripe suit. A fucking pinstripe suit.

"It's not all bad brat." Legion told him.

'How so?'

"You get to steal food from old people!" Legion yelled with enthusiasm.

'It's not stealing if they give it to you willingly.'

"THE FUCKING SONS OF WHORES!" Legion roared in anger and frustration.

Then Ryner caught a sight he couldn't help but laugh at. Legion began laughing maniacally and the three girls turned to see what Ryner was laughing at, and couldn't help but laugh themselves. In the middle of the street was a walking middle-aged man with messy black hair and a lot of stubble. It was Ajax. In a pug costume. "Oh, this will be good."

"Oh, Hey Ryner!" Ajax called.

"I thought the saying was pugs not drugs?" Ryner smirked.

"Oh, you know...pugs are stupid and all so...yeahI'llshuddupnow."

"It's for the best." Ryner then noticed Ajax was handing out sweets. "Ajax, you didn't put anything in those did you?"

"Whhhaaaattt? Me? An honest businessman who would never take advantage of innocents?" Ryner fixed Ajax with a deadpan glare. "I may have laced brownies with sedatives..." Ryner looked weirded out by this.

"What kind of sedatives are we talking?"

"Y'know... the kind that leave a week long after affect..."

"I'm gonna leave you to that." Ryner told him, while slowly backing away.

"Yeah, see ya Ryner!"

"What was that about?" Weiss asked suspiciously.

"Nothing important." Ryner told her.

"Really, cause it looked really important." Yang added her two lien.

"O-lovely Yang of mine...would I ever lie to you?" The three of them stared blankly at him.

"Legion." Weiss pointed out.

"Your name." Blake added.

"That's not mentioning anything, not lying." Ryner told them.

"Now go do trick-or-treating so you can go get sweets so you can get food to get fat and then we can go home."

"Hey! We're not fat!" Yang yelled at him.

"Didn't say you were, I said so you can GET fat." Ryner zinged her. Yang scowled at Ryner, he just laughed and kissed her on the forehead, making her smile and kiss him on the cheek before wandering off with Weiss and Blake.

They walked up to the first house, Ryner lagging behind the rest, following their lead. He hadn't trick-or-treated since before his father died. Sapphire used to beg him to swap all the chocolate in his basket with the stuff she didn't like, mostly the healthy candy. Of course, being the bigger brother, he would refuse and get into an argument, only to finally give in when his mother forced him to do it, but deep down he was always going to give his sister the chocolate, even though he hated the fruit 'candy'.

Nora knocked on the door eagerly, and the eight of them held up their baskets and as the door opened all sang the chorus. "Trick or Treat!"

The person at the door chuckled. "Aren't you all a bit too old to be trick or treating?" They said as they handed out the candy in good faith anyway. Legion was trying to shout out of Ryner's eyeballs. "Who you calling old maggot!"

One by one they moved to the door and received their share of the candy, and last to approach the door was Ryner, beaming a childish grin. The person at the door reached into the bowl and frowned. "Sorry, but all I have are these fruit candies." They said putting a handful in Ryner's basket. "Don't worry though. Their healthy and nutritious!"

Ryner had other ideas. "I DON'T WANT NO STINKING HEALTHY CANDY!" Jaune and Ren ran forward, restraining Ryner from the inevitable brawl he would true to start. The person slammed the door shut, and Ryner was dragged back to the street, much to Legion's disappointment.

Yang sighed. "On to the next house. Don't you even think about complaining again mister!" She scolded. Ryner just glared, mouthed a few words and gave in.

"I say next time we trick." Legion muttered. "Does burning a house down count as a trick? What am I saying, that's too weak."

{Selene}

"Um, Ruby? I'm not sure if this one's for me."

"Psh. Course it is your look adorable!"

Selene was desperately trying to remember exactly how Ruby had convinced her to put on pink princess dress complete with fairy wings and magic wand and magic tiara. She wasn't even sure how a tiara COULD be magic but it was according to the girl who was in hysterics. It was certainly a lot more comfortable then the skimpy pirate that Ruby had to hand, with an authentic sword which, like the pumpkin, she really did not want to know its origin.

Ruby herself had chosen a pointed at and black robes of a wicked witch, which she seemed to pull of and even make adorable. Then again, everything Ruby did was adorable to Selene. She was smitten, she admitted it.

"Can I go change out of this now?" She asked, trying to walk into the dressing room but was blocked by Ruby.

"No just one more picture!" She pouted. Selene rolled her eyes, she could never resist that pout. "Fine."

"Oh yeah work it girl!" Ruby mocked. Selene just shot daggers at the camera, before walking into the dressing room, quickly followed by Ruby who was still giggling. Selene couldn't help but smile, planting small kisses on the girl's lips to stop her laughing.

"Done?" She asked. Ruby shook her head, pulling Selene into her, planting a soft caress on her top lip. Just as Selene started to get comfortable she pulled away, giving a mischievous grin, and Selene smiled. "I wish I never taught you how to do that." She smirked.

"No you don't." Ruby said, pulling the wings off Selene's back and the tiara out of her hair. "Why don't you celebrate Halloween?"

There it was, the question she knew was bound to have come up today. Selene looked away from Ruby, loosening the string at the back of her costume. "The tribe I grew up around didn't celebrate the holiday."

"Tribe?" Ruby asked, her hand reaching for the thin ropes and helping her pull them loose.

"The Luna tribe. A Nomadic tribe from Mystral. They thought it was blasphemy to dress up as the enemy of our goddess, the Moon." The dress came loose, and without apprehension Selene let it slip from her shoulders and down her body, leaving her in just her underwear. She had no shame in showing Ruby her body, it wasn't the thing she so desperately wanted to hide.

"The Moon goddess. She who watches over the night, and punshes the ones who hide in her darkness." Ruby said, her voice quiet, almost like she was remembering something. Her hand brush the small of Selene back, the warmth of her palm making her shiver from the diverse temperature.

Selene nodded. "I grew up as one of their own, but they made a mistake." Selene moved away from the hand, picking up a pair of pyjamas. "I was the only survivor."

No noise came from the girl behind her, but suddenly Selene felt her run up and hug around her back. Ruby nuzzled her nose into the back of Selene's neck. Selene smiled, the tears that were about to burst her banks receding. How did Ruby know about the Luna tribe? Selene was curious as the how Ruby knew about this. "How did you know about the Luna tribe?"

Ruby was quiet for a second. "I... read about it. Yang told me. You know, learning and stuff." Selene felt like Ruby had just tried to avoid saying something, but as she felt her arms hold tightly against her, she let it go.

Selene turned back to Ruby, looking into the silver eyes not unlike her own. She kissed the girls forehead, resting their hips together. Ruby then grazed her hand over Selene's cheek, making her smile drop and her eyes waver over the girl's lips again, chewing her own in wanting. But Ruby just smiled slightly, pulling the pyjama top from her hands and helping put it over Selene's head, over her chest and belly.

Ruby herself began to take off her witch costume. "No, it's time for a new tradition." She said, revealing that she had been wearing pyjamas under her costume the whole time. She just giggled, leading Selene to the sofa where she place a film into a movie player and pressed play.

Selene pulled the girl onto the sofa she had been lying on, directing her under the duvet she had gotten and placing ruby between her lags, and pulling her warm torso into her, wrapping her arms around Ruby and pulling the duvet over them both. Selene held Ruby tight as they watch the Halloween slasher film, laughing at the stupidly gory scene and eventually falling asleep in each others arms.

[Ryner]

After getting back to Beacon, he and Yang found Ruby and Selene cuddling. Yang squealed at the cuteness of the yet-to-be couple while Ryner just moved the duvet that had slipped down over the town again.

"Mother of Grimm they make me sick." Legion moaned.

'Really? Then why are you smiling?'

"What! No! I was simply… think about how good it would feel as I suffocated them with a pillow!" Legion wasn't the best lier.

After the two had got to Ryner's room Yang kissed Ryner passionately outside his door. She then stood there, smiled at him, and walked back to her dorm. Ryner was saddened by her leaving. He walked into his room and collapsed onto his bed. He had to tell her at some point, or she would find out. But what should he say?

"Whatever Ginger wants with us is our problem." Legion told him.

'I dunno Legion.' Ryner turned over, closing his eyes. 'It's Torchwick, he's everyone's problem.'
