Yes, I do know that Halloween has already passed, lol. But I had this idea of a REACT on Monday, and I wasn't able to type it up, and publish it then. Hope you enjoy reading it anyways ;)
Also guys, LODESTAR CAME OUT OMGHSFSFSNFJIJIAODJLN! Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the book yet, and probably won't until the end of the month *intense round of sad fangirl noises* Buuuutttttt, I AM open to minor spoilers, so if anybody needs to vent about the book, I'll be your listening ear *wink, wink*
Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter. And special thanks to BlackSwamGirl, Ally(Guest), & ThatsencenboyXD for reviewing. BlackSwanGirl, animaljam, twinkletoestbh, & Eeveelutions for following. And BlackSwanGirl and Eeveelutions for favoriting this story! It makes me so happy to know people actually enjoy what I write! I love you guys so much!

Disclaimer: *heavy sarcasm* Of COURSE I own Keepers of the Lost Cities. NOT Shannon Messenger.

Keepers of the Lost Cities: REACT! — Halloween

Keefe: *sees Sophie with a mask* *warily* Um, Foster? I thought our Neverseen, Black Swan, days were over...

Sophie: *laughs* This isn't a disguise, silly... *rethinks* Well, I mean, it is... Bu it's a costume! For Halloween!

Dex: What's Halloween?

Sophie: It's a holiday that humans celebrate. Children will dress up as something scar, and go door-to-door asking for candy!

Dex: Um, why?

Sophie: Free candy, duh

Biana: I don't care a bit about candy. What intrigues me, is the dressing up part? Does it have to be a scary costume?

Sophie: Not at all! You can dress up as whoever you want! From books, movies, somebody you admire...

Biana: Like my mom?

Sophie: Well not real- *remembers that all elves are 10 time more pretty that your typical human being, and Della Vacker is drop-dead gorgeous* Actually, if that's what you wanted you could!

Keefe: So you just go to just any random person's doorstep, and you get free sweets?

Sophie: Basically, yeah! When whoever's inside, answers the door, you yell "trick or treat!"

Keefe: *gets a mysterious glint in his eye* TRICK or treat?

Sophie: *cautiously* Yeahhh...

Keefe: What kind of tricks?

Sophie: *hastily* Nothing too extreme, Keefe. Hardly anyone actually expects somebody to pick the trick. Kids are greedy, and want free sugar *laughs that last part*

Keefe: *rubs his hands together slows* Hehehe

Fitz: *rolls his eyes at Keefe's antics* So what exactly is the purpose of this holiday?

Sophie: I dunno... to scare little kids? Let everybody be a kid for a night? Be generous to the young population?

Dex: Why scary?

Sophie: Well, there are a lot of parts of Halloween that can be pretty creepy and gruesome. Zombies, witches, ghosts- stuff like that.

Dex: Why?

Sophie: I honestly have no clue... I think it originated from another holiday that honored the dead... and then we Americanized it.

Biana: *wrinles her nose* Eww, the dead?

Sophie: Gross, I know. But yeah, over the years it gets less and less lighthearted fun, to a more satanic, demonic holiday.

Fitz: That's kinda sad

Sophie: I know, right! I remember Amy and I used to dress up at fairy princesses every year *smiles fondly at the memory*

Keefe: We could have a little Halloween party here!

Dex: *jumps in excitedly* Yeah! It wouldn't have to have all those weirder thngs, either! Sophie, you could tell us what to do to make it authentic!

Sophie: *happy squeals* Ooh, yay! Let's do it!

Biana: *gasps* Does that mean I can give you a makeover!

Sophie:...

Biana:...

Sophie: *exasperated* Aug, fine...

Biana: *pumps fist in the air* Yes!

Dex: I already know what I'm going to be. It's actually not that hard for me, either *chuckles*

Sophie: You guys do know that we're not to go trick-or-treating, right?

Keefe: *whines* Why not?

Sophie: *rolls her eyes at Keefe's complaining* Because nobody else here would know what we were doing, and what we wanted. And because we're having a party and can't do both.

THAT EVENING AT LIKE, 6:00- The Party is at Havenfield

*the door bell rings*

Sophie: *opens the door to see Keefe*

Keefe: *shouts before Sophie can greet him* TRICK-OR TREAT!

Sophie: *laughs and rolls her eyes* Yeah, no, Keefe. Sorry. We're still not doing that.

Keefe: *surveys Sophie* You look... great

Sophie: *looks down at the over-the-top sparkly gown Biana said she just HAD to wear, and blushes* Oh, yeah, um, thanks... Biana kinda made me wear it so...

Keefe: It looks good on you, Foster. Definitely compliments your eyes *winks*

Sophie: *blushes deeper* yeah, well, I'm lucky I was able to convince Biana to let me wear my own shoes.

Keefe: *laughs* Right, 'cuz tteh last thing we need is an emergency Elwin visit.

Sophie: *lightly punches his arm* Hey, it's not my fault that a certain someone tripped me while playing BaseQuest last week!

Keefe: *chuckles, which lessens the heartfelt meaning in his statement* I said I was sorry!

Sophie: Mhhmmm

Keefe: So when are we going to eat?

Sophie: Is all you think about is food? But, there are rifflepuffs and custard bursts we're gonna eat.

Keefe: Ooh, yum. Where?

Sophie: Not yet, Keefe. We have to wait until Biana, Fitz, and Dex- *doorbell rings again* -speak of the devil

Biana and Fitz come in, with Dex right behind them

Keefe: Now can we eat?

Sophie: *happily* Yup!

Everybody fills a plate of sugary, Elvin goodness

So... because I come from a Christian household, we don't really excessively celebrate Halloween. We do dress up and trick-or-treat, but that's about it. So I'm sorry if this wasn't as Halloween-y as you would've liked. Also, I know it ended weirdly, but after that, I didn't really find any motivation, or plotline on how it should finish...
Thanks so much if you did enjoy it, and be sure to leave me a review! It makes me so happy when I read them :) XOXOX ~ JoySeph13
