The lights of the party square shined with the colors of the season. Orange and purple orbs dangled down from a net of color over head. Creating the effect of odd stars. Pumpkins smiled and sat luminating on hay bales while ghost and goblins greeted you at the entrance.

Many folks where already there. Some danced wild dances while Thriller played. Others played games and shopped at the horror theme shops and stands eating Frankendogs. But the mojority of people just socialized with there fellow ghouls, laughing and chatting about who's who on this night of make believe.

"Oh Kim, I cant believe where here! Said a very excited Sue. This is going to be so much fun! What do you want to do first? Oh I know lets dance! Its not too full!"

Kim Smiled at her overly excited friend as she wisped her through the crowd and towards the dance floor.

What a scary place. Look at all there venders selling there "Scissor Creature" crap and latest and greatest costumes. I must admit I love Halloween like the next Joe but when some guy in a ghost face mask is trying to sell you the face of your best friend you tend to get a little upset. I cant blame them they don't know the story well the "real" story. There just trying to make a buck from pop culture.

Wait!, where's Edward? I put myself into a minor panic when I first couldn't find him but thank goodness Ed's one that doesn't travel too far with out checking out all the gadgets around him. I found him at s little stand called "Betty Spook" Not the greatest name in my opinion but whatever. Ed was checking out the latest and greatest in Halloween appeal as well. A very confused look came across that masked face as he started at a Freddy Cougar Fright Kit.

"Whatcha looking at?" I said catching his attraction.

"What's this?" he asked me.

"It's a Freddy Cougar scare kit of something. You know Freddy Cougar right?"

"...No"

"He's this big scary guy with a clawed hand that eats children"

Ed turned a whiter shade of pale as the most traumatized look I've ever seen on a human being passed over him.

"Why?"

"Because he's from a scary movie and some people enjoy that kind of thing"

"They enjoy eating children?"

"...NO, no! I mean watch horror movies. Some people enjoy being scared.

"...why?"

"I don't know either but they do"

"HEY you kids going to buy something or just sit there and look pretty?" said the very rude gorilla faced tender.

"Um not right now sir but we will be back" I said as we started to turn away. Oh course im not going to come back not after such rudeness. Maybe Hannibal had it right? But never mind that.

"Well Ed we should get going. There much to see plus we need to find a certain lovely lady.

I could the hidden smile and slight blushing under his blacken mask as Edward gave me a light nod.

"Alright then, lets get going!" With that we headed deeper into the crowned square. Pass the glowing pumpkins perched on there hay bales and the purple and orange lights above.
