So here's the next chapter of the Halloween saga~! Last time, Charice and her six members of "testers" have learned that they were going to enter the school and rate how scary each club's section are. The winners…well, like we know. Hopefully, Charice would still be alive at that time.

Oh, by the way, if you want a nice visualization of the concert, YouTube "Valerie" by the Glee kids, not Amy Winehouse. It's more chorus oriented, anyway.

/= [DAY 54] =/

The concert went surprisingly well, despite the fact that many of the guys had to wear bras for outfits. The stage crew was quick with the scene changes, which was great, since the only thing they had to move were the really huge staircases that apparently the chorus was climbing on. Though no one wanted to say it…but they enjoyed it. Poor Rizal was traumatized for life, though. And no, Ludwig wasn't on the stage.

The three testers walked out with a chuckle to see their other four members standing outside the backstage door in their costumes. Lin Yi looked pretty in her Mulan robes, Addidy was dressed as a fairy, and Li Xiao…well, he's dressed like a butler out of an anime. That's already winning points here.

"So I guess we'll have to leave again until the school's ready to start testing?" Addidy asked.

"Mooooost likely." Charice grinned. "But that's fine. I got another costume planned for today. For one night only, I. Am. Card Captor Sakura."

"Oh god, really." Lovino sighed.

"Well, it's either that or I keep you in that uniform-"

"Not a chance in hell. I'm changing and I'm not wearing a costume."

"Awwww…why not, da ze?" Yong Soo chirped, adjusting his Bob the Builder uniform (don't ask questions).

"Because this is stupid. Why the hell do we have to be in stupid costumes to get candy?"

"Because we're suckers like that~" Charice chirped. "Oooh! How about I turn you into Light Yagami? There's no costume there, and you can go about bragging on how you can write a guy's name in a notebook and kill them!"

"…that sounds fun…" Lovino grinned.

"O…kay…" Lin Yi blinked. "Oh, Matthew. What are you going to be?"

"Me? Um…Jounouchi."

"From Yu-gi-oh? Hell, pull off the Brookyn Accent and you're in!" Charice chirped.

"Why? We have better things to do…like playing children's card games."

"You are soooooo Jounouchi." She skipped toward the door. "Let's head over to the lounge and change~! Lovi-chan, come on~"

"Eh? What the HEY WHAT THE HELL LET ME GO LET ME GO LET ME GOOOOOO!"

/=+=/

It took a while, but soon the call came for the testers to come in and take their judging standards. The seven of them sighed and headed over to the school, which was now oddly quiet and dark. Apparently, someone decided to leave all the lights out…for "more effect".

"Great…now we're going to be judging stuff on scariness only to be scared of the fact that we tripped over the stairs a few times…" Matthew mumbled.

"So…which place are we starting off with?" Lin Yi asked.

"I think we start with the gym." Li Xiao answered. "That way."

"All right…"

Charice looked up and led the way toward the gymnasium. Because it was so freakin' dark, it took forever to find the damn place. Nonetheless, they found it. Addidy was the one who opened the door, and found it to be dressed like a mummy's tomb.

"OK…this isn't scary." Lovino mumbled. "Can we leave?"

"Look! There's something there!" Lin Yi pointed at something in the middle of the room.

Charice and Li Xiao looked at each other, waved at the others to stay there, and then jumped like ninjas to find out what was in the middle. After a few minutes, they saw that it was a small rolled-up piece of paper on top of a pestle. Li Xiao lifted it up and unrolled it.

"…it's a map of the school."

"That's anticlimactic." Charice sighed and turned toward the others. "It's just a map! Nothing big! You can walk over here!"

They all walked over before Matthew's ears peaked. Yong Soo turned to him before realizing that one of the coffins was moving. Soon, all the coffins were moving and mummies were crawling toward them, moaning and roaring all the way.

"Holy crap!" Charice screamed. "Mummies!"

"Whoa." Addidy blinked. "Not bad."

"Holy shit THEY'RE RUNNING!" Yong Soo screamed.

"MUMMIES CAN'T RUN!" Lin Yi panicked.

"Well, we can!" Charice screamed. "I'm outta here!"

They turned and ran the hell out of the room. Well, not really. Charice and Matthew were being grabbed by their ankles and arms by running mummies on the way out and were too busy flailing out of the room to realize that they can just punch them away.

"…that's…scary." Charice mumbled.

"Just a little…" Lin Yi added.

"T-they weren't that scary." Lovino spat.

"Says the first guy flailing out of the room."

"Shut up, Li Xiao."

"So what's the map about?" Addidy asked.

"It's our pathway. Apparently we have to judge them in order." Li Xiao answered. "Sucks, but at least they can get themselves ready."

"If that's true…then where's the first place to go?" Matthew asked.

"It's this way."

"Hopefully, it's worth our time."

"Hopefully, I get to see you scream out of the room like a wuss da ze."

/=+=/

The first couple of rooms that they went too weren't that scary, really. It was nothing more than the typical pop-out scare tactics and crawling spiders. Heck, it wasn't even scaring Lovino (and that's saying a lot). Charice and Lin Yi wanted to call it a day when they entered the next room.

"That's strange…it's empty." Addidy blinked.

"M-maybe we're in the wrong room?" Matthew asked.

"No, I'm pretty sure that it's the place…" Li Xiao looked at the map. "North Wing, Room 198. It's right here."

Charice looked around before realizing that the room was getting colder and colder. She started shaking, and instantly Li Xiao pulled off his butler jacket and threw it over her shoulders (causing Lin Yi and Yong Soo to chuckle). After a while, Lovino sighed.

"There's nothing here. Let's just fucking leave."

"Um…Lovino? We can't." Matthew answered. "The door's sealed."

"WHAT?"

The two of them were trying to pry the door open as the others were wondering just what was going on. After a few minutes, they heard a familiar 'kolkolkol' echo through the walls and the sound of footsteps walking closer and closer toward them.

…

"NOOOOOOOOO I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE WITH RUSSIA!"

"OPEN THE DOOR OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE GET US OUT GET US OUT GET US OUUUUUUTTTTTT!"

/=+=/

The door was able to pry itself open and the seven of them ran screaming from the room, allowing them to take their breath after a few minutes of just dashing. Li Xiao was the first person who had straightened himself, fixing his gloves and taking the jacket from Charice's back.

"Are you OK?" He asked.

"Yeah…I'm…fine." She sighed. "That was scary…"

"I know…stuck in a room with Ivan is scary…" Addidy added. "How many more rooms do we have?"

"We have a few more…I think the next one is just a few numbers away." Li Xiao pointed at the end of the hallway. "Over there, I think."

"OK…" Charice straightened herself. "I'm leading the way."

"OK…I'll make sure that you don't get hurt."

"Thanks, Matthew."

The seven of them walked through the hallway before finding the next room. Charice quickly realized that it was the newspaper office as Li Xiao opened the door. She jumped in and took a look around, seeing as there was only one light and shadows all around them. As Charice walked into the room, she saw that the light was illuminating a body that was placed on a table that was decorated with pretty flowers. The body had a daisy in his hands.

And it was Feliciano.

She blinked for a few minutes, trying to remind herself that she wasn't seeing a murder, and then looked over to see that the Italian really seemed to know how to play a dead guy. His chest wasn't even moving that quickly, but she could clearly hear a faint breath going in and out.

"C-Charice?" Matthew stepped inside. "A-are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just…I haven't seen Feli-chan so peaceful, you know?" She chuckled.

Charice smiled as she brushed a strand of hair from his face. Suddenly, his eyes flashed open and darted toward her, startling her just a little bit. She jumped back, only to see that he had grabbed her wrist and kept her in place. That was a little creepy, but nothing to…

"Holy crap HE'S BITING MY HAND HE'S BITING MY HAND!"

"W-what?" Matthew looked around. "A-ah! Something's coming out of the shadows!"

"What? HOLY SHIT SOMETHING GRABBED MY LEG!"

The two of them ran screaming out of the room.

/=+=/

After those two rooms, nothing else could scare them. The winner ended up being Ivan's room, though Charice threw her vote on the newspaper club because someone bit her freakin' wrist. Nonetheless, Feliciano was rapidly apologizing about it, everything that she had dismissed.

"Veee! I didn't hurt you too much, did I?"

"Nah. You did more of startling my ego than my body." She answered. "See? No blood!"

"Still, would you like a bandage for that?" Kiku lifted up a roll of tape. "In case it gets worse?"

"Sure, why not?" Charice laughed.

As he was wrapping the bandage, she was having a conversation with Feliciano and cooing over the cuteness. Too bad though, for she would've seen another death glare between Kiku and Li Xiao.

/=+=/

And the Halloween arc is over~! Please keep voting for your favorite pairings!

And speaking of Spamano, I'm a little mixed. I'm more into the Spain x Romano x Belgium mix, but I don't know which pairing to choose…damn.
