Soon enough, it was time to leave the Halloween Carnival and that meant it was time for Wendy and the Grimwood Girls to get back to school.

"Drell, you wanna come with us to meet your sister?" Cherry asked, though nervous in her voice, but she knew it might be good for him to reunite with his sister.

"We haven't spoken in years..." Drell replied. "She wouldn't want to see me anyway."

"Of course she will." Patch said.

"Oh, uh, I dunno..." Drell rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"I don't think I can say much here," Hilda replied. "Zelda and I have a very rough relationship with our sister Vesta... Mother always loved her best, though Daddy did pay for our first wedding, Drelly."

"Please come with us." Mo begged.

"Well... Okay, I better change first though." Drell replied.

"Aw, but I love my ooh, ooh, sexy werewolf~" Hilda cooed.

This caused most of the group to cringe. Drell smiled as he held Hilda, not caring what the others had to say. Cherry threw up behind a bush out of disgust.


The workers were loading up to pack up until the same time again next year while everyone else was going home. Once everyone was in the car, Atticus drove them back to the Grimwood school.

"So, Cherry, did you have fun at the carnival?" Atticus asked.

"It was all right," Cherry replied. "I'm just surprised that the Goblin King was a good guy, he seemed so menacing."

"I know." Atticus said.

Mo held her little brother as he fell asleep with his thumb in his mouth after a long and exhausting night. "Could you drop us off at home?" she asked Atticus. "JJ's knocked out."

"You got it." Atticus said.

"Thanks, Atticus," Mo smiled. "This had to be his best Halloween ever."

"It sure was." Atticus said.


Soon enough, the car dropped off Mo and Junior so the boy could get some sleep after a long night of saving the world. Atticus waved to them and soon drove off to Ms. Grimwood's ghoul school to drop off the girls. After a long drive, they soon arrived at the school.

"Oh, the girls are back, Matches, darling..." Ms. Grimwood smiled.

Matches just sighed as she missed Spike and looked miserable about being alone. She remembered hearing about Spike's crush on Rarity and it broke her heart as she had hidden feelings for the purple dragon. She soon got her eyes covered by two claws/hands. "Huh?" she pouted before looking around as she had been blinded.

"Matches, darling, I believe you have a visitor." Ms. Grimwood smiled as always.

"Guess who?" Spike's voice smiled.

"Spike..." Matches replied. "Is that you?"

"Yeah!" Spike beamed before he hopped over her and stood in front of her with a grin.

Matches hummed with a pout and folded her arms.

"What's wrong?" Spike asked.

"How's Rarity?" Matches rolled her crimson eyes.

"Oh...I guess you heard I had a crush on her." Spike said.

"Wait, had a crush on her?" Matches asked.

"Yeah, it was just a thing..." Spike shrugged. "You know, I was young, kids do pretty stupid things."

This was a relief for Matches.

"So, you're over her?" she then asked.

"Yeah..." Spike blushed pink in his face and shuffled his foot. "So, uh, I was wondering... Maybe we could hang out together just the two of us?"

"O-Oh, really?" Matches asked as she turned red in return.

"I was surprised to find out you're a girl, but you're kinda cute..." Spike replied. "Cuter than Princess Ember from Dragon's Lair back in Equestria."

This caused Matches to blush even more. Ms. Grimwood smiled to this.

"Um, say, I hear this place called Ever After High is having Dragon Games..." Spike said to Matches. "Maybe you'd like to come?"

"I'd love to come." Matches smiled.

Spike and Matches soon smiled to each other.


Atticus finally pulled up and opened the door to let the girls out.

"Best field trip ever!" Wendy beamed. "Though... It's my only field trip ever, but still awesome!"

"Like, it sure was." Scott smiled.

"Ms. Grimwood, Atticus and Patch got me a big brother now, I named him Scott after my favorite uncle, it's like when Shaggy turned into a werewolf." Winnie beamed to her headmistress.

"Oh, how wonderful for you, Winnie." Ms. Grimwood smiled back.

"And I see someone got a visitor." Sibella smiled once she saw Spike with Matches.

Spike and Matches smiled as they held claws together.

"Aw, so cute~" Tanis giggled to the young dragons.

"Uh, Ms. Grimwood, someone's here to see you." Cherry told the woman.

"Who would that be, dear?" Ms. Grimwood asked only to look up to see her brother. "Drell..."

"Hi, Glynnie..." Drell rubbed his arm nervously.

"Let's give these two some privacy." Hilda said.

The others agreed with Hilda.

"Come on, Wendy, let's take you to your room." Goonie said.

"Sure, okay." Wendy replied as she went inside with the other Grimwood Girls.


Soon enough, Drell and Ms. Grimwood were alone together and they sat together to have some tea.

"So...You look well." Ms. Grimwood said.

"Uh... Yeah..." Drell replied.

The two sipped their drinks as they seemed to have a hard time talking to each other after all these years.

"I finally moved out of Mom and Dad's basement." Drell then said.

"That's great." Ms. Grimwood said.

"Yeah... Um... Great..." Drell smiled nervously.

Ms. Grimwood sighed. "Why have you come?" she soon asked her brother. "I'm still mad at you."

"I know and I'm sorry!" Drell frowned. "I just thought that now might be a good time to talk."

"Quite..." Ms. Grimwood replied as she sipped her tea. "I see you and Hilda Spellman made up."

"Yeah, we even got married..." Drell smiled as he showed the ring before wincing as he realized he shouldn't have said that as he hadn't invited her to the wedding. "Oh, uh, I mean-"

"Forget it, you just said it, it's already out there." Ms. Grimwood sighed.

"I'm sorry for not inviting you." Drell said.

"It's fine..." Ms. Grimwood replied.

Drell sighed as this wasn't getting much easier.

Cherry randomly walked into the room. "Hey, guys, don't mind me, just getting a piece of fudge for no reason..."

'Really?' Drell thought to himself.

"So, how's it going?" Cherry asked, not eating the fudge just yet.

"I'm dying out here!" Drell whispered loudly to her. "Help me!"

"How?" Cherry whispered back.

"Just do something!" Drell told her before pushing her toward Ms. Grimwood.

"Um... Ms. Grimwood... I might not know you that well, but whatever your brother did to upset you, I'm sure he's sorry and he'll never do it again." Cherry rubbed her arm. "By the way, what did he do?"

"None of your business!" Drell spat at Cherry.

"He blamed me during the trial for the Sanderson sisters back in Salem," Ms. Grimwood replied much to Drell's chagrin. "You see, this is a long story involving mortal children, though one of them isn't a mortal boy anymore, but I was actually good friends with Sarah Sanderson as she was more innocent compared to her sisters Winifred and Mary. Our mother didn't know I was friends with her, but one night when the sisters decided to suck the youth of a girl named Emily Binx, Drell told our mother and Emily's brother Thackery told the whole village so they could be executed."

"Whoa." Cherry said.

Drell sighed and face-palmed. "You had to ask, you little idiot."

"Drell, you have to apologize to her." Cherry said.

"Who asked you?" Drell folded his arms.

"Uh, you did?" Cherry narrowed her eyes in deadpan.

"Can we please just stop talking about that day?" Ms. Grimwood frowned.

"Glynis, I'm very sorry, but I was scared..." Drell told his sister. "I know, we can't change the past, but can't we just let it go and put it behind us?" he then smirked. "I mean, who else loves your fudge as much as I do?"

"True." Ms. Grimwood smiled.

Drell soon smiled back to her.

"Well... I'm still mad at what you did to Sarah and her sisters, we won't have a chance to see them until maybe next Halloween..." Ms. Grimwood shrugged.

"How so?" Cherry asked.

"It's part of their curse," Drell told her. "If a virgin lights a black flame on a candle, it can bring back the Sanderson sisters."

"So Atticus won't screw up." Cherry smirked quietly.

"It will most likely be a mortal." Drell said.

"Mortals can be such fools sometimes..." Ms. Grimwood sighed, she then collected some meat and came into the backyard. "Matches, your dinner is-Oh!"

Matches and Spike blushed as they were kissing, but then looked back to her as they stopped for a moment to see her.

"I see you're having dessert." Ms. Grimwood teased.

"Mind leaving us alone then?" Matches asked.

"Okay, your supper is here if you're hungry." Ms. Grimwood replied as she placed down the bowl of raw meat just for her little dragon.

After she left, Matches and Spike went back to what they were doing.

"I see you kept Mom's maiden name..." Drell said to his sister. "So, friends again?"

Ms. Grimwood smiled. "No... Siblings." she then said.

The two then shared a hug together.

Cherry found this moment touching. She even wiped away a tear.

"Come on, I'll show you around..." Ms. Grimwood put her arm around her brother.

"You're the boss." Drell chuckled as he followed after her.

This seemed like a happy ending.

The End
