This is dedicated to Craftygirlll who asked for a Halloween inspired story. I hope this is to your liking and along the lines of what you were looking for.
It was a dark and stormy night. It fit so well that it just happened to be a week till Halloween. Steve and Danny had finished decorating the Williams house while Vicki and Gabby had taken the four McGarrett-Williams children and Grace costume shopping. They had finished decorating the McGarrett-Williams house earlier in the day and both men were exhausted after finishing the house. They had grabbed a couple of beers and had turned on Child's Play 2 about an three hours earlier as a way of relaxing. Now both were dozing on the couch waiting for the rest of their families to get home.
The two figures quietly crept around the corner. They both moved around the creaky floorboard that was in the hallway. No real lights were on in the house signaling that the occupants had dozed off before darkness had fallen. The only light was a flickering light coming from the living room where the tv had been left on. The volume had been turned down as to not disturb the two sleeping men on the couch. One of the figures touch the others arm and signaled for them to go around the right side of the couch while the first went around the left.
As the two figures separated a third, shorter, figure could be seen in the hallway followed by a mass of what could only be more smaller figures. The tallest of this group signaled for the others to be quiet. Their plan would be ruined if the two sleeping men were to awaken to soon. As a group the figures stood in the entranceway of the house. As the two original figures moved around the couch, the tallest of the other figures pulled out a camera and hit record, all while wearing a devious smile.
The original figures looked to the entranceway to ensure that the rest of their group was ready. They quietly crept up on the sleeping men and carefully reached out their hands to touch their arms.
Both Steve and Danny were awoken by the taps on their arms. They slowly opened their eyes, only to quickly widen them as they took in what had woken them. Both men screamed in alarm and quickly jumped up onto the couch to get away from the figures in front of them. They then scrambled over the back of the couch as both of the figures started to shake.
Steve got to the light switch first and flipped it. There standing in the middle of the living room was the Crypt Keeper and Freddie Kruger. Both men quickly turned to run into the entranceway when they came face to face with their five laughing children. Steve and Danny stopped and stared a moment before the pieces clicked in their heads. They turned around to find their wives pulling off their masks and laughing hysterically.
Danny went to curse at his wife and sister for pulling such a prank on them, but even he couldn't fault them for coming up with such a great prank. In fact he was sure that if him and Steve had thought of it, they would have pulled the exact same prank on their wives. Steve seemed to be thinking the same thing as he just glared at his wife and sister in law while trying to keep the smile off his face. He then looked at Danny and without saying a word they both surged over the couch and made a grab for their screaming wives.
Danny managed to catch Gabby first and started tickling her. Vicki made it around the couch, but Steve's longer legs eventually caught up to her and he started tickling her. She collapsed into a fit of laughter on the floor, Steve following her.
"Kids help mommy," gasped out Vicki in her laughter.
The four McGarrett-Williams children started giggling and lunged at their father. Joseph and Alexandra grabbed their father's arms while Anne jumped on Steve's back. John was valiantly trying to tickle his father, who was still managing to tickle Vicki. Grace hopped over the couch and happily grabbed onto her father's back to try to save her step mother from her father's onslaught. Of course that resulted in Danny grabbing his daughter and starting to tickle her.
"What happened to my sweet little daddy's girl? Huh? No warning? No defending," asked Danny as he tickled his daughter.
"You creamed so loud Danno. So did Uncle Steve," laughed Grace.
"And we got it on tape," added John from the floor where his father was now tickling him.
"You recorded it," asked Steve mortified.
"Every second of it," taunted Vicki from under her children and her husband.
"I want that camera," demanded Steve as he started his onslaught on his wife again.
"Same here," said Danny as he too started to tickle Gabby again.
Both women just laughed harder. They knew several members of their families and extended families who would enjoy that video. And the sound of her husband and brother screaming became Vicki's text message alert noise, well that was between her and a computer genius.
