Wow, I'm doing a lot of Halloween stuff. First I updated, then I gave you a new story and now another update. I can't help it ... I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I couldn't resist with this one. It was too cute to not put up right away. Anyway, I got Yugi's first Halloween costume based on my sister's first Halloween costume. Eventually, I'll have a picture of it up on my art sites, so don't worry, you'll be able to see him. Okay, here's the Halloween addition to 'Baby Tales' Happy Halloween!

---

Tonight was a big night. This was Halloween. Kiara Darkling was putting on her make up for her costume. She was wearing a silky long, thin white dress with white high heeled shoes. Her hair was wrapped up in a bun with a headband halo over her head. She had blue eye shadow over her eyes and pink blush with glitter on her cheeks. If you have not guessed it, she was going as an angel. The wings would be put on later. She, her husband Atem and their eight-month-old son, Yugi were going to a Halloween party that Atem's company was holding. Of course since it was Yugi's first Halloween, they were not going to deprive him of Trick-or-Treating. Kiara ran the pink lipstick over her bottom lip and smacked her lips together. There, perfect.

"Kiara!" Said woman rolled her eyes.

"Oh no … here it comes …" the door to the room she shared with her husband slammed open. Atem appeared in his costume. If you guessed that he was a devil, you were right. He had a red cape around his shoulders with the collar coming up to his ears, two red arm decorations on his forearms, a thin black shirt with a silky red vest over it, two rubber red horns that had been glued around his hair line since his hair was pulled back in a ponytail, dark red pants with a tail attached to the back, and pointy black leather shoes. His face, neck and arms were all dyed red thanks to Kiara. She also took the liberty of drawing a goatee on his face. In his hand was a tall, fancy pitchfork … that smoked. Kiara turned around in her chair and laughed at seeing her husband twirling the pitchfork in his hand.

"I got a bone to pick with you." Atem playfully jabbed the pitchfork in front of his wife. After getting over her laughter, Kiara stood up and looked over Atem's costume.

"What are you complaining about? I thought it was cute." She readjusted his collar as he rolled his eyes.

"But don't you think that the smoking pitchfork is a little too much?" Kiara shrugged.

"No, I thought it went better then the other pitchforks that they had." Atem sighed and put it down. Atem sighed again.

"But still, why couldn't we have gone with the theme that I picked?" Kiara was smoothing out Atem's make up as he complained.

"Because your theme involves me wearing a stupid socket costume and you with a giant plug around your waist with a cable to connect us. Not to mention that the giant plug could actually go inside one of those sockets." Atem smirked.

"Hence the reason why it was a set." Kiara rolled her eyes as Atem sighed and sat on their bed. "Well, the sooner we get this damn party over with, the better." Kiara was fixing her hair in the mirror.

"What do you mean? I love it when we go to your Halloween parties."

"Yes, but this year, we have extra weight."

"Oh, speaking of which, you're going to take him trick-or-treating." Atem's jaw dropped.

"What? Why me?"

"Because you scare the neighborhood children with your blood stories every year, and I have to deal with their parents' phone calls." Atem snickered. He did love teasing those kids.

"Hey, it's not my fault that their parents' haven't told them about what goes on inside of them."

"Mommy …" A small voice said from the doorway. Little Yugi waddled in his parents' room wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a white fabric cut into an oval pinned to it, black sweatpants and tennis shoes. His back had two black fuzzy boas, with one white boa in the middle, going from the hood to the bottom of his sweatshirt. In his hand, he had a cookie from the batch that Kiara had made for the party. "Cookie."

"Oh no, Yugi! Those were supposed to be for the party! And how many times have I told you that cookies are for after dinner!" Yugi let out a tiny belch and giggled.

"Daddy!" He threw himself into Atem's arms who laughed along with Yugi and tickled him.

"Atem, don't encourage him."

"What? He's just having fun … right, Yugi?" Yugi smiled.

"Yeah!" Kiara sighed.

"Well, Yugi go get your bucket; Daddy's gonna take you Trick-or-Treating." Yugi's smile widened as he jumped off the 'big bed' as he called it, and ran towards his own room.

"Yay!"

"Damn, look at those little legs move!" Kiara gathered the glow stick she had gotten for Yugi.

"Makes you wonder if he's gonna be a track star, doesn't it?" Atem nodded.

"By the way, who came up with the idea of making him a skunk?" Atem asked, scratching his neck. Kiara passed him and went downstairs.

"Your mother."

"Oh …"

Downstairs, Yugi was over at the door, jumping up and down like he really had to potty with his little pumpkin bucket in his tiny hand. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Kiara came down and started snapping pictures of Yugi, who had to cover his eyes from the blinding flash.

"Whoa, whoa, Kiara … you're gonna make him go blind!"

"I can't help it, he's so adorable!" Yugi tried to reach the doorknob, but was too small.

"Go now!"

"In a minute, Sweet-heart." Kiara put the glow stick around her son's tiny neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Have fun, Baby."

"I will." Atem answered. Kiara gave Atem a kiss.

"You too, and make sure you're holding his hand the entire time!"

"I will!" Atem tried to steal another kiss from Kiara, but Yugi was pulling on his wrist.

"C'mon, Daddy!" Atem could not resist anymore so they left. Children were already running around the streets. Atem and Yugi headed to their next door neighbor's house first. Atem rang the doorbell.

"Trick or treat!" He said. He looked down to see that Yugi was staring at him with a confused face. "It's easy, Yugi. You hold out your bucket and say 'trick or treat'." The door opened to reveal an elderly woman.

"Why, if it isn't Atem. Oh, and this must be Yugi! You've grown so much!" Yugi held up his bucket with both hands.

"Hello, Mrs. Vandom; Happy Halloween." Atem looked at his son. "Say 'trick or treat', Yugi."

"Tik-a-teet." He tried to pronounce. Mrs. Vandom laughed at that adorable attempt.

"Oh that is just adorable! Here you go, Sweetie." She put a few rolls of candy into his little bucket.

"Now what do you say to Mrs. Vandom?"

"Tikoo." Mrs. Vandom just laughed, thinking that Yugi was the most adorable little thing. Atem took Yugi's hand and they moved on. The next house had two very large and very mean Dobermans who had almost attacked his small son once … plus the people were really mean, so they moved on to the next house. Atem had to walk slowly so that his son's little legs could keep up with him. As they reached the next house, a bunch of kids were just leaving as they approached. Atem rang the doorbell and once again called out:

"Trick or treat!"

"Tik-a-teet!" Yugi attempted to repeat. Atem couldn't help but laugh. The door opened. A young man in his early fifties opened the door.

"Happy Halloween, Mr. Day."

"Happy Halloween to you too, Mr. Darkling, and what is Little Yugi supposed to be?" Yugi held up his bucket with both hands again.

"Tik-a-teet." He said again.

"He's a skunk." Mr. Day laughed.

"A skunk? You telling me he stinks?" Atem humored the middle-aged man by going along with his lame joke.

"No, his mother saw to it to put perfume on him before we let him out." Mr. Day laughed. This man was so friendly that he would laugh at the stupidest jokes … including his own. He lowered the bowl of candy he had in his hand to Yugi's level. "Now remember Yugi, only take one--- Yugi!" The little boy took two handfuls of candy and put then in his bucket.

"Tikoo." The baby picked his bucket up with his arms and began to walk away. Atem ran after him, trying to catch up.

"Yugi, wait for Daddy! Thank you, Mr. Day!" Atem and Yugi continued around the neighborhood. Eventually, Yugi grew tired of walking and, more demanded then asked, Atem to carry him. Along the way, he began to dig into his candy bucket. "You know, your mother is not going to like you spoiling your dinner like this." Yugi ignored him.

"Candy!" He exclaimed, holding up a cherry flavored Tootsie-Roll. After an hour, and when Yugi's bucket was full, they headed home.

"We're home!" Atem announced as he and his son entered the house. Kiara sat on the couch, reading a book.

"Welcome home!" Yugi ran up into his mother's lap and showed her all the candy he was given.

"Mama, candy!" Kiara made a playful gasp.

"That's great, Sweet-heart. But we're gonna save it for tomorrow, okay?" Yugi was less then enthused.

"No …" Atem came and picked him up.

"Oh, don't worry, Pal. You'll get more candy at the party." Yugi looked at his father with confused eyes.

"Pah-tee?" He had never been to a party before … let alone even heard the word. Kiara giggled.

"Well, we better go now or else we'll miss out on most of the activities." Atem agreed and went for the door.

The drive to the party was not that long. They were there in no time. Already, people in all kinds of costumes were dancing to the music. There were orange and black streamers, balloons, and all kinds of Halloween decorations as sounds. When Yugi stepped into the room, he stepped on a doormat that screamed and said 'Happy Halloween.' He ran and his behind his mother.

"It's okay, Yugi. It won't hurt you. Come on, let's go dance." Kiara took Yugi's little hand and led him to the dance floor while Atem went to go find a table. Yugi did like to dance when he listened to the music on TV. The song 'Monster Mash' played. (I couldn't come up with any other Halloween song) Yugi watched as his mother began to dance. "Come on, Sweet-heart." Yugi looked at all the other people dancing and decided that it was okay. He bent his knees and waved his arms around. "Very good!" Kiara cheered. She looked over at Atem, who as associating with one of his collogues who was dressed up like a ketchup bottle. Other kids were joining the dancing too. Yugi squealed in delight. He was having such a good time. After the song was over, Kiara took Yugi to get him some snacks. She got him some cake, some cookies, a Rice-Krispy-Treat with black and orange sprinkles, and some orange punch. As they sat down at the table, Atem introduced Kiara to the man.

"Kiara, this is Ned Mahon, a colleague of mine." Kiara shook hands with him.

"Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too. My wife is in the bathroom right now, and those two Princess Barbie twins on the dance floor are my daughters."

"Oh, they're cute." Ned laughed.

"Twins are hard. You're lucky you've only got one. Speaking of which, where's your rugrat?"

"Oh, he's --- Yugi? Yugi where did you go?" Both parents were getting nervous when suddenly, Yugi popped up from under the black table cloth.

"Cookie go down." He said. Both Kiara and Atem were relieved. Kiara picked him up and took the dirty cookie away from him.

"Ned, you obviously remember my son, Yugi." Atem said.

"He's grown a lot since the last time I saw him … which was probably when he was born." Yugi took the brownie that he had and hid his shy face in his mother's neck. "What's he supposed to be?"

"A skunk. My mother made the costume."

"Skuk!" Yugi said. The three adults could only laugh at how cute he was. There were a few activities that Yugi won; he won a bottle of bubbles, a toy car and a ghost stuffed animal. He danced with the other children and with his parents again. All in all, he loved his first Halloween. Pictures were taken at the party to remember it. After the party, Yugi was exhausted. He fell asleep on the way home. Kiara and Atem took his shoes off, but put him to bed with his skunk outfit still on. It was the best Halloween ever.
