Next week, it is Hollow's Eve! Many residents of the existing games in the arcade are dressing up in their costumes for the party at Spooky Hoops.

Ralph is dressed as a pirate captain with a hat that has a skull and cross bones on it, a pirate suit and a fake beard.

"Well, Felix, how do I look?" he asks Felix who is dressed up in a turtle costume.

"I think you look perfect." he replies.

"So do you."

Gene, who is dressed in a bee costume, approaches the duo and compliments them, "You both look great."

They chuckled warmly at this comment.

At Sugar Rush, Vanellope, Taffyta Muttonfudge and the other racers saw the flyers posted on candy trees and read them.

"Wow! A party on Hollow's Eve and Halloween!" Taffyta exclaimed with glee. "This should be fun! We get to see Halloween movies, sing Halloween karaoke and eat Halloween treats!"

"I'm not a big fan of Halloween. I usually get scared on that holiday." said Vanellope, who is dressed as Minnie Mouse. "But I'm willing to go to this party with Ralph."

"I like Halloween." Taffyta said as she puts on a ladybug costume. "I'm coming with you."

"I don't like Halloween." one of the racers, Candlehead, said. "I get scared of all those bats, owls, ghosts, goblins, skeletons and zombies."

"I'm coming too." Sour Bill added in. "Even though I don't have a costume to wear."

At Hero's Duty, Sergeant Calhoun, who is dressed as a witch, is reading a flyer on the wall. Then she says to her lieutenants, "Alright, ladies, any who are coming with me to the party, feel free to wear a costume." Then she heads to Spooky Hoops for the party.


Once all who wanted to come to the party have arrived, they gather in the haunted house. Talbot steps to the front.

"Attention! Attention, everyone!" he announced, grabbing everyone's attention. "Thank you and welcome to my Hollow's Eve party! I'm Talbot the werewolf, mayor of Spooky Hoops. We're all going to have such a great time here. We'll have plenty of activities to do. We have food, drinks, karaoke and photo aps. We'll have two movies tonight and tomorrow. Tonight, at 8:30, we will watch 'The Nightmare Before Christmas', and at 10:00, we will watch 'Corpse Bride'. Alright, let's party!"

The party begins with many people eating food, listening and dancing to Halloween songs and having some karaoke fun.

"Hey, Felix," Calhoun said to Felix. "You should sing something Halloweeny."

"Uh, sorry, but I have a terrible singing voice." Felix answered, trying to come up with an excuse.

"You are such a scaredy-cat." she sighed as she walked up to the karaoke machine.

"What song is she planning to sing?" Vanellope asked Ralph.

"We'll see." He replied.

Calhoun browses the Halloween karaoke CD collection before finding one and popping it into the disc drive. Then she picked up the microphone.

"Testing." she spoke into the microphone.

Everyone stops what they're doing and focuses their attention to Calhoun, who readies herself, hits the play button, and the lyrics appear on the screen as the yellow letters turn orange as they're sung.

"No more gas in the red, can't even get it started." Calhoun sang loud and clear."Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it. All my life on my head, don't want to think about it. Feels like I'm going insane, yeah."

"That lady is one good singer." Taffyta whispered to her friends, who nodded in agreement.

"It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you. A disease of the mind, it can control you. It's too close for comfort."

Everyone starts to clap as Calhoun continues singing.

"Throw on your break lights, we're in the city of wonder! Ain't gonna play nice! Watch out, you might just go under. Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered. So if you must falter, be wise! Your mind is in Disturbia! It's like the darkness is the light. Disturbia! Am I scaring you tonight? Your mind is in Disturbia! Ain't used to what you like. Disturbia, Disturbia!"

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum. Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum." the audience mouthed along."Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum! Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum!"

"Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they talking to me. Disconnecting your call, your phone don't even ring! I gotta get out or figure this s*** out! It's too close for comfort." Calhoun sang proudly. "It's a thief in the night to come and grab you. It can creep up inside you and consume you. A disease of the mind, it can control you. I feel like a monster!"

The dancing intensifies as the song moves along. Some of the guests move slightly faster, while some dance happily and cheerfully.

"Throw on your break lights, we're in the city of wonder! Ain't gonna play nice! Watch out, you might just go under. Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered. So if you must falter, be wise! Your mind is in Disturbia! It's like the darkness is the light. Disturbia! Am I scaring you tonight? Your mind is in Disturbia! Ain't used to what you like. Disturbia, Disturbia!"

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum. Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum. Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum! Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum!"

"Release me from this curse I'm in! I've been trying to maintain, but I'm struggling. You can't go, go, go! I think I'm going to oh, oh, oh!"

The partygoers all start to dance again as Calhoun looks to finish the song.

"Throw on your break lights, we're in the city of wonder! Ain't gonna play nice! Watch out, you might just go under. Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered. So if you must falter, be wise!" she sang at the top of her lungs."Your mind is in Disturbia! It's like the darkness is the light. Disturbia! Am I scaring you tonight? Your mind is in Disturbia! Ain't used to what you like. Disturbia, Disturbia!"

"Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum. Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum. Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum! Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum!"

Calhoun finishes the song to everyone applauding him. Felix was proud of his loved one's ability to sing. Ralph and Vanellope were blown away by her talent, and the Sugar Rush racers were cheering, with Taffyta being the loudest.

"Oh my god, Calhoun, that was amazing! You sang so cool, I loved it!" Felix exclaimed with glee.

At 8:30, Talbot put "The Nightmare Before Christmas" on a large flat screen TV so that everyone can see. At 10:00, he put on "Corpse Bride". After the movies ended, everyone enjoyed the party and were having the time of their lives. Some stayed and some got exhausted and went home to their games to rest before the arcade opens in the morning.


I thought I'd end this chapter with everyone partying at the Hollow's Eve party. The song that Calhoun sang on the karaoke machine is "Disturbia" by Rihanna. Can you imagine Jane Lynch covering this song or performing it with Rihanna as a duet? There's only one chapter left to go and that will be the Halloween party. I will upload the last chapter soon, so I will see you all next time!
