Shizuko: I feel like we're summoning the devil!

Danielle: It's for our Halloween chapter.
Miyako: Halloween?
Me: Yes, Halloween. By the way, Miyako, someone's here for you.

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubbles
At the lab, Momoko, Kaoru, and Shizuko were staring at a calendar on the wall.
"Momoko-san, what's Halloween?" Shizuko asked. Four months ago, Him was sent into space. In the middle of September, the Tinaxos moved in. At the beginning of October, Shizuko became Bunny, the sixth member.
"I don't know. Maybe Professor Tinaxo knows something."
"I wouldn't ask him if I were you," Kaoru said, scratching her chin. "He's busy helping Professor Utonium with something."
"What about the twins?"
"Don't know where they are. Daniel should be out of the nurse's office by now."
"Miyako?"
"At the hospital"
"What happened? Is she hurt?"
"Nah, she's just visiting a boy she met as a child."
At the hospital...
"Taka-chan! I came by like I promised!" Miyako said as she walked into the boy's hospital room. The blond-haired boy in the hospital bed had a smile on his face as she faced him.
"Hi, Miyako. I'm glad you came. The doctor says I'll be healthy enough to walk out tomorrow!" he said. On the last word, Miyako's face lit up.
"Really? That's great news!"
"I wanted you to be the first to know."
"That's so sweet."
"And it's all thanks to you." Miyako blushed at the comment. Ever since she helped him with his ailment, his condition has been getting better and better. "By the way, I saw something on the calendar placed on tomorrow. What's Halloween?"
"Why would you ask me something like that? I have no idea what it's for."
Two hours later...
"Hi, guys! Sorry I'm late!" Miyako shouted as she ran into the lab. The others were staring at the calendar on the wall. "Good news! Taka-chan said he'll be out of the hospital tomorrow!"
"That's great news!" Momoko said, turning to look at Miyako.
"Taka-chan?" Shizuko asked, turning around from the calendar.
"He's this guy Miyako met when she was young. He saved her from some bullies back then and ended up in the hospital due to a heart condition." She replied.
"I see. Miyako-chan, do you know what Halloween is?"
"Sorry, I have no idea." Miyako responded. At that moment, the twins walked into the room.
"Daniel, you had to try Himeko's cooking?" Danielle said to Daniel, who was clutching his stomach.
"I had no choice! She forced the damn onigiri and tempura in my mouth!" Daniel said, wearing his new yellow clothes. Ever since the Rowdyruffs attacked, he changed his signature color to match his sister.
"You spent the rest of the day with the nurse because of that. You actually turned green, purple, and then blue. We thought you were dead until you got up and started puking on the floor."
"And I thought England from Hetalia was a bad chef. I never thought it would be possible to make such a simple dish taste so bad."
"Face it, some of the girls at school find you cute and funny. Himeko must be one of them."
"That is the last person I want to have a crush on me!" Just then, Daniel noticed the other girls in the room. "Hey, what's up?"
"Daniel, we're all glad you're okay after that. After the incident, all the girls in the room went pale. Shizuko actually fainted when you started gagging and turning green." Kaoru said. Shizuko was twiddling her thumbs and had a very light blush of embarrassment on her face.
"Danielle-chan, do you know anything about Halloween?" Shizuko asked, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, Halloween? It's basically a day where little kids dress up as monsters and go to other people's houses and ask for candy. Still, Halloween is a day centered around horror, ghosts, zombies, vampires, anything around those lines."
"You had me at candy." Momoko said, stars glittering in her eyes.
The next day...
Miyako was walking to the hospital as promised to Takaaki. In front of the hospital entrance was a boy in a light blue T-shirt and jeans holding some flowers. The boy looked in Miyako's direction and waved to her.
"Miya-chan! Over here!" the boy shouted.
"Taka-chan!" Miyako shouted as she ran up to the boy.
"Miyako, how about today, we do something? Like a date?" Takaaki asked.
"That'll be great! I just have to let everyone else know I'll be busy." Miyako said as she took out her compact. After a minute or so explaining the situation, she hung up. "Okay, where do you want to go?"
"Actually, I was hoping we could spend time at the lab until around five. Then we could go see a movie."
"What's wrong with seeing one now?"
"I asked one of the nurses about Halloween. It has something to do with horror, so I figured, why not go see a scary movie with you?"
Miyako blushed at the thought. She agreed to bring him to the lab to hang out for a bit.
About five minutes later at the lab...
"Shizuko, have you seen the twins?" Kaoru asked as she looked up from the boxing match. Ken and Professor Utonium were watching as well.
"Sorry, I have no idea." Shizuko replied, her eyes glued to the screen.
"They're missing one heck of a fight! Paquiao's got Maywether on the ropes!" Kaoru shouted.
"I think they're upstairs or something." Momoko said. "Last I saw them, they were heading to a room upstairs with a large plastic bag."
"What was in the bag?"
"No idea." At that moment, the bell for the match to end rang, signaling Kaoru to go to the kitchen to make popcorn. Coincidentally, it was the same moment that Miyako and Takaaki walked into the room.
"Hi, guys." Miyako said, making Shizuko and Momoko turn around to see the pair of blues standing there.
"Miyako-chan, I thought that you were too busy to come to the lab today." Momoko said.
"Sorry, my fault. I told her we were coming here after she hung up." Takaaki said.
"P-Pardon my asking, but you are the Takaaki-kun I've heard about, right?" Shizuko asked.
"Yes. I'm sure Miya-chan's told you about me."
"Actually, I just heard about you from Kaoru."
"I see. Well, I guess there's no need to introduce myself, then. You must be Shizuko-chan. Uh, where are the twins you told me about, Miyako?" A knock came from one of the doors leading to the stairs.
"Yes?" Kaoru said as she answered the door. She was holding a bag of freshly-made popcorn. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" In the blink of an eye, the popcorn floated in the air for a while before falling to the ground. The door also slammed shut and Kaoru was hiding by the couch.
"What could scare Kaoru-chan that much?" Shizuko asked as she opened the door. She fainted on the spot.
"Oh my god! It's the zombie apocalypse! That day is here! Let's get out of here!" Momoko shouted at the top of her lungs. Everyone except Shizuko ran to the opposite side of the room, almost knocking over the TV. Two zombies were at the door. Behind them were several other zombies as well. The two staggered into the room, completely ignoring the fainted Shizuko. Just as the zombies cornered everyone, Professor Tinaxo appeared behind them.
"Dan, Danielle, I told you this morning. Scaring people like this can wait until nightfall." He said as he pulled the masks off the zombies. Under the masks were the faces of the Tinaxo twins in their blond glory. He also picked up a remote control and pushed a button. The zombies at the door disappeared, leaving a white screen.
"Sorry, Dad. We couldn't resist." Danielle said, with her hand behind her head and laughing.
"Can we get some water or something?" Daniel said, trying to shake Shizuko awake.
Meanwhile at a park...
"What kind of game are you playing, wimp?" one teen said as he snatched a box from the hands of a boy his age.
"Give it back! My father gave that to me!" the boy yelled as he tried to take the box back from the taller boy.
"Seriously, what kind of man are you?" he said as he threw the box to the ground and began stomping on it. "I'll see you tomorrow, wimp." The older boy walked away without looking back once. The younger boy started crying on the ground. As he cried, a black light fell from the sky and hit him.
A few hours later at the lab...
Uh, guys?
"What is it, Len?"
We're live.
"Oh, right! Okay, Miyako, are you all set to go to the movies?" Takaaki asked.
"I'm ready, Taka-chan. Let's go!"
"Don't worry about us. Whatever happens, we can handle it!" Kaoru said as the blues left.
Meanwhile, at the same park...
"Well, well, well. It's Halloween. I've read about it online. I think it's time to play a little game with Tokyo city." A mysterious figure said as it flew from the park to the cemetery. A small smirk showed on its face as it pointed its left hand at the graves. "In the name of the Game Master, rise once more!"
About an hour later...
"Come on, Miya-chan, admit it. You were scared when that zombie came onto the screen." Takaaki said as he exited the movie theater with Miyako.
"You were scared, too!" Miyako said.
"..."
"Taka-chan? What's wrong?"
"..."
"Let me guess. When I turn around, I'm going to see the zombie from the movie and his friends." Miyako said calmly. Takaaki nodded. Miyako turned around to see a maggot-ridden corpse standing right behind her. Behind it were several other zombies as well.
"Okay, Daniel-kun, that's quite enough. You can take off the mask now." Miyako said as she recalled the incident earlier. She reached for the zombie's face and actually ripped the whole head clean off. "So, Taka-chan, should we start running for our lives?"
"After you, milady." Takaaki said, giving a courteous bow. In a split second, the two blues started running as fast as they can.
Meanwhile at the lab...
"So when do we get the candy?" Momoko asked as she held a bag in her hands. She was dressed like her favorite sentai hero as well.
"Momoko! Incoming message from Miyako! She's got some trouble and she needs help right away!" Ken yelled.
"Aw rats! What is it, Miyako-chan?" Momoko asked as she turned toward the video screen.
"Help! It's the city! It's overrun with zombies!"
"Z-Z-Zombies!"
"Yeah. They tried to attack me and Taka-chan!"
"Don't worry. We're on it." Danielle said as she walked into the room. She and her brother were dressed as the Kagamine twins. To be honest, it was fitting for them.
Hyper Blossom!
Powered Buttercup!
Speeding Bullet!
Dive Bomber!
Energized Bunny!
The five flew off to Miyako's location, thanks to the GPS tracking system in Bomber's goggles. They found Miyako and Takaaki cornered in an alley surrounded by zombies.
"Damn! It's a Michael Jackson tribute!" Bullet yelled.
"Come on! We've got to save them from the zombie apocalypse!" Blossom yellewd as she dove to save her friends. As four of them dove down, Bunny noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Bomber shot a circle of ice marbles, forming a barrier between the zombies and the blues. As Buttercup and Blossom brought the two of them up, Bunny called out.
"Guys! Look at that intersection!" Bunny pointed to an intersection. Nine zombies were standing still arranged in a triangle. However, the triangle was missing a point.
"Bullet, didn't you say something about a Michael Jackson tribute?" Blossom asked. "Maybe that's the key. If memory serves, in the music video, a couple finishes watching a scary movie and then zombies attack. The boyfriend then leads them in dancing 'Thriller'." Takaaki then jumped down and ran toward the triangle.
Takaaki used THRILLER!
It's super effective!
At the end of the dance, the zombies turned east and started walking back to the cemetery, leaving a very familiar werewolf behind.
"Oh come on! Not again!" Takaaki yelled when he realized he turned back into the wolf the black light originally turned him into.
Miyako & Takaaki: LEN!
Me: sorry. The cure will be in the next chapter.
Takaaki: It better be, or I'll just have to start sharpening my claws on you.
Me: Got it. Besides, Takaaki, you should have read your contract fully before signing it. It says that as long as you're in the current chapter, I can put any event I want in the script. Don't worry, though, I'll make sure that this game finishes with you returned to normal.
Takaaki: *growls*
Me: Sit boy!
Takaaki & Miyako: ... ... ... ...What was that?
Me: I guess it only works when Kagome does it to Inuyasha. Next time, the Game Master's Halloween puzzle continues. There is a catch: Solve all the puzzles before midnight or Takaaki will remain a werewolf forever. Can the Puffs pull it off? Stay tuned and please review.
