"Why can't I get away?" Dark Shadow asks.

"Eradiko," Rob says, "It traps you in a sphere but I made it invisible instead of red."

"You'll regret this!" Dark Shadow yells.

"Not really," Rob says.

Rob uses Adfishio Patentuia that emits multiple energy beams of red-colored glowing mana energy. The Adfishio Patentuia hits Dark Shadow directly. Dark Shadow yells in pain and starts to fade into darkness.

"No I will not die!" Dark Shadow yells, "I will come back and I will kill you all!"

Dark Shadow fades away completely and then the family appears back in the cafeteria of Trafford Middle School. Rick reverts back to normal. Rick and Rob turn to Stephen and the others.

"Is everyone alright? Rob asks.

"Yeah," the others reply.

"Let's head back to the BY Park," Rick declares.

The whole family and Ciara go back to the BY Park by the van Stephen brought being Upgrade. At the reunion Stephen introduces Ciara to everyone. As it starts getting dark the family starts to head back home. Stephen and Ciara are together with Rob and Rick.

"So Ciara where do you live?" Stephen asks.

"In that church looking house right behind the fire station," Ciara replies.

"Wow that must suck when the siren goes off," Rick says.

"It does because it is so loud but since the walls are thick the siren gets muted to a point," Ciara explains.

"Well should we walk you home or have our family drive you?" Rob asks.

"Actually I just want to walk with Stephen," Ciara replies.

Stephen looks shocked.

"Why just me?" Stephen asks.

"Well since we will be going to school together I think we should get to hang out alone and get to know about each other more," Ciara replies.

Rob and Rick smile.

"Great idea but be safe," Rob says.

Rob hugs Stephen.

"See ya later cuz," Rob says, "Love you."

Rob and Rick go to Bob and Patty's van and drive off back home as the others have already left to go home. Ciara grabs Stephen's hand as he starts taking her home.

"So where did you move from?" Stephen asks.

"I use to live Barrington, Illinois," Ciara replies, "If you wondering why I moved here it's because my dad found a better paying job in Pittsburgh."

Stephen looks down.

"I wish my real dad live here but he lives in Ohio," Stephen replies, "My mom finally got married to my step dad who is that man we saved back there."

Ciara smiles at Stephen.

"Cheer up," Ciara says, "You have a great family, and that's all that matters."

Stephen smiles.

"So you nervous about starting at a new school?" Stephen asks.

"Yes especially with those people who told me they would be my friend," Ciara replies.

"Who were they?" Stephen asks.

"I never did get their name but I don't want to because they are jerks for doing that to me back there," Ciara replies.

"Don't worry I promise I'll be your best friend forever," Stephen says.

Ciara smiles real big and feels something warm inside her.

"Really?" Ciara questions.

"Defiantly," Stephen says, "You are really fun to be around and best of all you are nice."

"You're too sweet," Ciara says.

Soon Stephen and Ciara reach Ciara's house.

"Would you like to meet my dad and mom?" Ciara asks.

Stephen becomes nervous.

"Don't worry they won't judge you," Ciara says.

"Okay," Stephen says, "I'll still be nervous though."

Ciara smiles at Stephen. Later that night around nine forty-five Stephen goes to head home after meeting Ciara's parents. Ciara walks Stephen out of her house.

"You really have a beautiful house," Stephen says, "I wish I lived in a house."

"Living in a house doesn't matter," Ciara admits, "At least you have a roof over your head and I would love to see where you live."

"Really?" Stephen asks.

"Oh course," Ciara replies, "We are best friends after all, and we can hang out whenever we are allowed."

Stephen smiles as Ciara holds her hand out.

"Stephen can you pinky promise me something?" Ciara asks.

"Yeah what?" Stephen replies.

"That we will always stick together from now into the future," Ciara says, "That you will always be my best friend and protect me if you needed to. And well that… um well never mind."

"Go on say it," Stephen says.

Stephen puts his finger and crosses it with Ciara's.

"That when we are older we will get married," Ciara says blushing.

Stephen smiles and blushes.

"I promise you all of that," Stephen admits.

"And so do I," Ciara says.

Stephen and Ciara smile.

"Well I better be getting home," Stephen says.

"Please be careful," Ciara says.

"Promise I will," Stephen concludes.

Ciara kisses Stephen on the lips. Stephen happily kisses Ciara back.

"Bye," Ciara says, "See you soon."

"Bye," Stephen says blushing.

Ciara blushes back as she smiles. Stephen begins to walk back home by taking the stairs next to Ciara's house.

"Wow my first kiss," Stephen says, "And by a very beautiful girl."

Stephen smiles big as he walks home. Every day after, Ciara and Stephen hang out at each other's house or at a park when they can which seems to be every day because their parents have become great friends with each other and support the relationship between Ciara and Stephen which surprises Stephen and Ciara but makes them happy. As school starts Stephen and Ciara find out they are in the same class together. Each day they are together they become better friends and more closer. Luckily for Stephen no aliens have attacked him for his Omnitrix. A month goes by and it now is October thirty-first. Ciara is going to be trick-or-treating with Stephen and his family at Turtle Creek while her parents our at a business Halloween party. Stephen, Ciara, Ruth, Cos, Kenny, Trisha, Jamie, Rob, and Rick are all in front of Aunt Lil's house for Halloween. It is six o'clock right now so the sun is setting fast. Stephen isn't dressed up but Kenny is dressed up like a gangster as is Trisha. Jamie is dressed up like a hooker as Ciara is dressed up like a vampire. Rob also is dressed like an evil sorcerer.

"So Stephen what alien you picking?" Rob asks.

"Dark Prince most likely," Stephen replies, "He is a ghost after all."

"What about you Rick?" Ciara asks, "What you dressing up like."

Rick looks around and absorbs the brick wall next to him.

"Bricks?" Rick replies, "Can't really think of anything good right now."

The alarm goes off indicating that trick-or-treating has begun.

"Alright it's hero time… well not really," Stephen says.

Ciara laughs as Stephen activates his Omnitrix and slams it down. Stephen turns into Stephenwolf. Stephenwolf is a Loboan that appearance is based on a classic werewolf. He has blue fur and a long flowing mane and large bushy tail, with three sharp claws on each hand. The inside of his mouth is red. Stephenwolf wears white pants with black markings that reach up his chest.

"This will do," Stephenwolf says, "Sweet is deeper."

Stephenwolf laughs.

"Well my puppy let's get going," Ciara says.

"It's Stephenwolf!" Stephenwolf yells.

Ciara laughs as she runs off and then Stephenwolf follows closely to her with the others. With Stephenwolf's speed he and Ciara get a lot of candy until the Omnitrix times out.

"Dang it," Stephen says.

Stephen goes to change into another alien but it won't let him.

"Perfect," Stephen says.

"That's why I protect you this Stephen," Ruth says.

Ruth hands Stephen a costume and soon Stephen appears as a vampire.

"Husband and wife vampires," Cos says.

Ciara and Stephen blush and then grab hands. Stephen and Ciara continuing trick-or-treating but end up getting split from the rest of the family.

"Stephen what should we do?" Ciara asks.

"Stick together and try to find the others," Stephen replies.

Ciara stays close to Stephen, holding him. As Stephen and Ciara walk along a group of five teenagers come to the two.

"Hey kids where are your parents?" the one teenage boy asks.

"Around the corner," Stephen replies lying.

"Well since you're not with them how about you hang over your candy and we won't have to beat you up," the second teenage boy says.

"I'm not giving you my candy," Ciara says, "Get your own."

"We did but we want more candy," a third teenage boy says.

"So just hand it over," a female teenager says.

"No," Stephen says, "And you won't make us."

"Actually we will," the second female teenager says.

The teenagers go to grab Stephen and Ciara's candy just as the Omnitrix turns green.

"Great," Stephen says.

Stephen moves in front of Ciara and then activates the Omnitrix. Stephen turns into Stephenmummy. Stephenmummy is a Thep Khufan whose eyes and the gaps between its bandages glow green. Stephenmummy also has black bracers and greaves. Stephenmummy, being composed of bandages, can reshape his body at will. The teenager freak out and run off screaming.

"That's what you get for trying to take our candy," Stephenmummy says.

Ciara walks to the front of Stephenmummy.

"Well someone is a mummy," Ciara says.

"Not funny," Stephenmummy says.

"I know but I tried," Ciara declares.

Stephenmummy rolls his eyes.

"Let's continue hitting houses before trick-or-treating ends. Stephenmummy and Ciara continue to trick-or-treat as someone suspicious follows the two.
