Halloween: Hannah & Thierry
Hannah smiled as she pulled out a carving knife. "Scary or funny?" she asked.
"Hm?" Thierry looked up from the newspaper.
"I'm going to carve some pumpkins for the doorstep. So, funny or scary?"
"How many pumpkins?"
"… Six," she admitted embarrassedly.
"Then we can do half and half."
Hannah glanced at him. "We?"
"Hannah, I'm not going to leave you to carve six pumpkins alone. That would take hours, not to mention the danger of cutting yourself with that knife," Thierry said, standing and plucking the knife from her hands. "That is a vicious looking knife."
"It's a carving knife, so of course it is. It has to cut through the hard, thick surface of the pumpkins."
"Well, come on," Thierry said. He walked out and sat next to a pumpkin. "Shall we start with a scary one?"
"Sure thing!" Hannah said, sitting on the other side of said pumpkin. She pulled a permanent marker out of her pocket. "You start," she giggled.
"Okay," he uncapped the marker and started drawing a vampire face clearly getting ready to bite.
"Good job!" Hannah exclaimed excitedly. "Now we have to cut the top off," she grabbed the carving knife, "like this…" she carefully cut the top. "And then we scoop out the inside!" She reached directly into the pumpkin, pulled out a handful and looked over at Thierry mischievously.
Thierry hardly had time to register the look she was giving him before the entire handful was flung at him. Of course, since it was the loose inside of a pumpkin most of it splattered in various areas of the steps, some of it however did get into his hair.
Hannah tried to muffle her laughter behind her hand.
Thierry blinked twice in shock before reaching into the pumpkin himself and pulling out a glob. "Now, Hannah, that isn't how you do it," he teased. "You're supposed to do it like this," he smashed the entire handful into her hair.
Hannah shrieked as Thierry laughed. "Oh, now you're gonna pay!" She scooped up the entire pumpkin and jumped away from him. She reached into the pumpkin and flung the contents at him. "Pumpkin wars!" she giggled as he dodged and came after her.
How the pumpkins survived is still a mystery.
Lupe returned to the house after collecting some items for the Wild Powers and found Hannah and Thierry sitting on the front porch laughing and kissing completely covered in pumpkin goo.
Sometimes Lupe wondered about the sanity of the people in Circle Daybreak.
A/N: This is the last chapter. I'm sorry that I couldn't finish it by Halloween but school didn't really allow for me to work on the chapters as much as I would have liked to. Please R&R. I have some other stories I'm working on. Most of them are series, similar to this one, but I do have a chapter story or two that I want to do.
