Halloween

A/N:So, as promised, here it is. The lemon chapter will be the one after the next, sometime in the new year, so, hold your horses. When I'm done with this chapter, I'm gonna work on, and finish my Star Wars au story. So, here.

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with SVTFOE just my OC's and the idea for this particular story.

3rd Person PoV

"So, why can't I blast anything tonight?" Star asked for the upteenth time in the past 5 hours.

Marco sighed, and paused putting on the finishing touches on his costume. He was in their shared bathroom, he's gonna be a vampire, and as such, he died his hair jet black, put some powder on his skin to make it seem paler, and was currently putting on eyeliner underneath his eyelids. But in the middle of doing his right eye, he put down the makeup to address Star directly.

"Because Star," Marco said, also for the upteenth time, "tonight all the monsteres that you're gonna see are absolutely, 100% fake. It's an Earth holiday," he said, going back to doing his make up. "It started a few thousand years ago, got perverted a bit, and then came back over 80 years ago where kids, and now adults, dress up and pretend to be something that they're not."

"Woah, like, an olympian athlete?" Star said excitedly.

"Well, yes," Marco said, finishing up his eye, then going back to the other. "And also no," he said seeing the look on her face through the mirror. "Their not actually an athlete like that. Like," he started to do his other eye. "It's like I'm dressing up as a vampire, but I'm not actually a vampire, obviously…. Star, I am not a vampire!" he said when he heard her cock her wand, and some magical stuff build up.

"Are you surrrrrre?" Star said, backing up a bit. Marco sighed, put down the mascara, and turned to face her. He gave her a stern look, and marched right up to her, she squeaked and let off a blast of something green. He promptly ducked under it, came up, grabbed her wand arm, wrenched it to the side, and brought her in for a deep kiss.

When they separated, he said, "Do I seem like a vampire?"

"N-no," she breath.

"Good," Marco said, and let her go. He then went back to finish his make up, but stopped when he saw that the blast he dodged destroyed his mirror. "Star!" He yelled, snapping her out of her funk.

"What?" She said, then said, "oh, sorry," when he just pointed to mirror.

As she zapped it back into place, a voice said out, "He's right you know," they turned to see Michael leaning against the wall next to the door.

Marco and Star yelped and jumped back, Star rebrandished her wand, but didn't really do anything.

"How did you get in here?" Marco asked.

"Oh, I work in mysterious ways," he said, waving his hand around.

Then Mrs. Diaz walked by the bathroom and said, "Oh, you found them ok, that's great. I'm gonna get some snacks running, come down stairs in about 15," and then walked off.

"Plus your mother let me in and told me where to find you guys," he said, his hand still frozen in it's arc when Mrs. Diaz came by. He put his arm down and said, "Anyway, he's right you know, Star. Lots of people dress up as creatures they don't believe exist, and pretend to be them." Star nodded and he continued, "And the little ones, some of the teenagers to, go door to door to trick or treat and get candy." Star's eyes lit up. "But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to make sure that you both know to keep your guard up." Marco paused, yet again, in putting on the finishing touches to his make up. Michael continued, "I took the last few days to figure out what date he meant. It's after Halloween, but before the day of the dead."

"So," Marco said, "It's after today, but before the next few days, right?"

"Actually, it's between today, and tomorrow at approximately 11:52 PM, I checked and triple checked the times when the veil between life and death are the thinnest, and in this part of the world, it's at that time."

"Great…. so what do we do until then? You said that you were gonna train us, right?"

"Well, yes, but that guy is a bigger threat, so, we need to handle him first."

"Ok, so what do we-"

"And by we, I mean my team and I," he paused when both Star and Marco gave outbursts of protest. He held up his hand, which prompted them to stop talking, and continued, "You're not ready for someone like this. I don't know what he's planning, but if he's gonna use the time when the borders between this world and the next is weakest, anything could happen. He could summon a demon of unimaginable power, or gather up an army of zombies! Or he could do both, and then try to explode the sun, but he'll need a level 99 cosmic mage and the sacrifice of no less than 13 phoenixes in order to do that, so, no I don't think he'll go that rout… what?" He said when the other two just looked at him.

Marco snapped out of it first, and just said, "Whatever, look, if we're not gonna fight, then why are you here?" He then went back to the mirror and finished up his make up.

"I never said that you're not gonna fight," Michael replied, which cause Marco to pause in his work, yet again. "I just said that me and my team are gonna fight him, you guys will be doing something else."

"Like what?" Star said.

"I'll tell you later, I just came to inform you of what's happening, and to help with your costume… the others don't know that last one, but, eh. You can only get so many Halloweens in your lifetime, right?"

About an hour later, the sun finally went down, Marco convinced Star to don a costume for tonight, she was convinced that some of the stuff that Michael had said would actually turn her into a monster when she put on a costume, and Marco was coming down stairs, dressed as a vampire.

He had on a black cape, and other than that, a tuxedo and fake fangs. He also put in red contacts, and put some putty, and seedless jam on two points on his neck to simulate a vampire bite.

"Star!" He shouted up the stairs, "Come on, Ferguson texted me and said that Santiago is throwing a party."

"Give me 5 more minutes!" She shouted back down, and then the sound of a door slamming shut rang through the house.

Marco grumbled, but yelled up slightly louder, "Ok, but don't take too long, or else I'm marching up there and dragging you out!"

"You sure that's wise?" Michael said from the couch. Marco looked at him. "Well, I mean, here me out. You barge in, she's half naked, or just naked, and assuming that you don't notice," he pauses at the sight of Marco's face. He chuckles, "Ok, in the very, very remote chance that you don't freak out, or spontaneously get naked with her to do naked couple stuff, you drag her out into the streets with her in tow… naked…. now, does that seem smart?"

"I wouldn't think so," Star said as she came down the stairs. Marco and Michael looked up, Marco went wide eyed and his breath hitched. She was wearing a pointed witch's hat, a black dress that came to about the middle of her thais with knee high purple and black striped socks, that gave about 3 or 4 inches of exposed skin on her legs. She had her hair free flowing, but she must have done a spell on her hair because it's completely straight, and shiney. And last but not least her shoes were simple black dress shoes, but with a buckle and strap added to them, to give off a pureatine feel. "Well, how do I look?" She asked nervously, and stared at Marco's dumbfounded face, as some actual drool leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

Michael whistled and started clapping. "Well, I think I speak for Marco when I say that he is the luckiest guy on the planet right now, if he has you on his arm at that little party thing… I don't know, I haven't been to highschool in nearly 6000 years, but, whatever. I'll wing it." He strode over to Marco, slapped him upside the head, and walked over to Star, and offered her his hand. She took it with some hesitation, and he guided her down the stares, over to Marco whose rubbing his head in irritation. "Your date, your highness," he said, giving her away to Marco.

He stiffened when he realized that Star is in front of him, but he holds out his arm, which she promptly grabs hold of, smiling. "Now that that's out of the way," Michael said, then he snapped his fingers, and a bright light filled the room. When it cleared, and when Star and Marco were done blinking the spots out of their eyes, they looked up to see Michael changed into his costume. He was wearing a white hooded trench coat, a button down shirt, slacks, combat boots, and his sword was strapped to his back, the strap itself was looping around his shoulder and clasping two parts of his sword sheath. The sword itself was broder, and a little less curved. "What do you think?" He said.

"Um… what are you suppose to be?" Marco asked.

Michael looked up and down at himself, and said, "For tonight, let's just say I'm Assassin's Creed. Come on, the trick or treaters just started, we can get some candy on the way to that party."

The party itself was about 5 blocks away, but Marco insisted on hitting up each house on those blocks as he could. Star magiced up some expandable sacks, so that he could fit a literal metric ton of candy in them, and only have the bag itself weigh next to nothing. On the way there, Michael's…. team mates, found them, and he quickly introduced them.

"Star, Marco, this is Ryan and Felix," he said introducing them to a pale, stringy brown haired kid who's about Marco's sized, and a slightly older ginger kid, with sunglasses and a crew cut. Ryan was dressed as a Judo master, and Felix looked like a commando, with a brown tank top, and camo pants with combat boots. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked them.

"We could ask you the same," Ryan said as they continued walking and trick or treating.

"In fact," Felix said, "we will. What are you doing out here, playing with the kids?"

Star and Marco shot him a look, but Michael spoke, "Ok, ok, I should have told you I was here, but, I just needed some time to myself."

"So you go to the Princess and the Knight?" Ryan said. Marco perked up at this, but couldn't say anything as the other three were still arguing.

"Sorry… I also wanted to keep an eye on them. We managed to put up some more wards, but I still don't trust the Organization guy to not attack early."

"Yeah, we know," Ryan said.

"Which is why we finished setting up the monitoring equipment about an hour ago, and had one of your robot's program this thing to alert us to stuff," Felix said as he pulled out a cell phone looking device from his pocket.

Michael took it, touched a few buttons and nodded, seemingly satisfied that it works properly. He put it in his pocket and said, "Wanna trick or treat with us?"

"Way ahead of you bro," Ryan said as they both held up a fairly filled sack of candy.

Later when they reached this Santiago's house(For the sake of the story I'ma just say that it's the cheerleader boy who has the almond eyes…. And yes, I know that Santiago isn't an asian name, but what if he's not asian but puerto rican, or filipino? Ever think of that?) the party was in full swing. The decorations were strewn about, as if someone lifted them up and thrown them around, and toilet paper was hanging off the house.

"Pfft," Star said. "Ghosts look nothing like that," she said as she took Marco's hand.

"Yeah, ghosts," Marco said rolling his eyes.

Inside the couple danced and drank punch, talked with their fellow students, and bobbed for apples. Michael, Ryan and Felix mingled and drank punch, Ryan stopping Felix from spiking the punch bowl by just holding on to his arm when it was about to tip something into the bowl. "Kill joy," he muttered, but put the flask he head away.

Finally, when the party was winding down, and most of the people left, save for the cheer squad, Brittny was there too, of course, Alphonso, Ferguson, Hope, Justin, Francis, Janna and Jackie, plus Star, Marco and Michaels group. This of course prompted the music to be turned down, and changed into something more mellow as Santiago called everyone into the basement to play, "All right everyone! Truth or dare!"

They were all in a circle, a bottle placed in the middle of them all. "OOoh, truth or dare!" Star said excitedly….. "What's that?"

Brittny made an "ugh" sound and Marco said, "Basically, it's a game where when it's someone's turn, they can either dare you to do something, no matter what it is, or ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully. No outs."

"Yup, pretty much," Santiago said. "But I'm gonna do it a little differently, see this bottle?" Everyone nodded. He had this cheshire cat grin on his face, fitting seeing that he's in a chat noir costume, "We spin it, and whoever it lands on, get's asked. Only fair that it's random. Ok, I'll go first." He spun the bottle, and round and round it went, until it landed on Janna. "Ok, Janna, truth or dare?"

"Pffft, dare, obviously," she said, smirking through her skull face paint. Everything else was her usual outfit.

"Ok, since it's Star's first time playing, we'll do something easy. Janna, I dare you to stand on your head for 5 seconds."

"Cake," she said, and then got on her hands and knees, and jumped up with her hands holding her body weight and balancing. Unfortunately, gravity was still a factor, and it cause her skirt to drop. A few guys did cat whistles, and I think Hope shrieked. Her along with Chantelle, Andrea, and Marco to cover their eyes. When she counted 'one 1000' 5 times in her head she dropped back on her knees and sat back. "Done…. What's everyone staring at?"

All the guys were dumbfounded at what they just witnessed, Marco, Sabrina, and Chantelle along with Santiago were blushing like mad. "Oh, I like this girl," Felix muttered to Ryan who nodded.

Jackie started to crack up laughing, and said, "I'll tell you later, hurry up and spin the bottle, it's your turn."

She smiled innocently, and spun the bottle. It landed on Star. "Ok, ok… Star, truth or dare?"

"Dare!" Star said brightly.

"Ok, I dare you to….. Go in the closet for 7 minutes in heaven with," Marco started to get up, but then she said, "Christian."(The other cheer guy)

"What!?" Marco said, tripping over himself and falling on his back.

"Thems the dare," Janna said nonchalantly, giving a kitty cat grin :3

"But, b-b-but, s-seven m-minutes," he tried to say, becoming a stuttering mess.

"Marco, it's ok-" Star tried, but, "I'm her boyfriend!" He shouted to Janna. "Marco, it's ok," Star said, firmly. "I'm sure it's nothing too serious."

"Yeah," Christian said, a grin on his face. "I'll be a perfect gentleman."

"That doesn't exactly reassure me," Marco said, glaring at him. He doesn't like the grin on the others face.

"Come on Marco," Star said, getting up and going to the closet, Christian in tow. "It's just a game, what could happen?" They go into the closet, and close the door. It takes Marco every ounce of willpower he has to not go up and listen at the door, and the glare he's giving everyone else says for them to do the same. The red contacts helping him to drive the point home. It wasn't 30 seconds when the sounds of rapid magic blasts and multi-colored light flashing through the cracks of the door. The door falls off it's hinges and crashes to the floor to reveal a unamused Star, who marched back to her spot next to Marco and sat down. Christian did not come out of the closet.

She spun the bottle, hard, "We never speak of this again," she said.

"Um, what happen-"

"Never again!" She shouted dramatically, just as the bottle stopped on Ryan. "Ok, Ryan, was it?" He nodded nervously. "Ok, Ryan, I dare you to make out with the prettiest girl here. Not me though, I'm already taken," Marco kissed her on the cheek to prove her point. "Everyone else is fair game."

"Not even even gonna ask me 'truth or dare'?" he asked nervously.

"Nope, it's either this, or I blast Janna, but I'm gonna give her some more time to live… for now."

"... What happened in the-"

"NEVER SPEAK OF IT!"

Ryan looked frightened, then got up and looked around. He walked around the inside of the circle, pausing at Chantelle and Sabrina, then moved on to where Jackie and Brittany were sitting. He smiled a bit, Brittny thinking that this guy, who's a year older than her, was gonna pick her, she puckered her lips, closed her eyes and spread her arms wide, but he completely ignored her and bent down on his knees to scoop Jackie's face in his hands and gave her a kiss. Which shocked Jackie, but soon it turned out to be a full blown heated french makeout session.

It got hot and heavy pretty quick, which made a few girls jealous, Sabrina both in awe, and near tears, Brittny pouting and openly glowering at them, and a few guys crossing their legs.

Santiago cleared his throat loudly and the two broke apart, a thin line of saliva bridging their lips, both staring at the other in awe, and blushing really hard. "Ok, so, uh… get back to your seat, and spin the-" Ryan snapped his fingers and a gust of something exploded the bottle in the air. When it fell down it bounced in place for a sec, before settling and pointing at Justin. "Bottle," he finished. "Ok, not gonna question how you did that, it seems to be the norm nowadays. Ok, Justin, you're turn."

Justin put his hand on his chin in thought but before he could utter a word a shrill little voice shouted out, "It's time Star Butterfly for you to give me my wand!"

A portal opened up and Ludo and his usual goons stepped out of it. The portal closed, and most of the kids, save for Star, Marco and Michaels group, stepped back.

"Ugh, Ludo, why now? It's a holiday!" Star said exasperatedly.

"Holiday? But Mewnipendance day isn't for another few more months? And I'm sure it's not Mewmas," the little chicken man said confused.

"No, it's an Earth holiday today," Marco said.

"Oh… well, I'm not from Earth. Get them!" He shouted to his monsters. They all growled and shouted and got ready to pounce.

Star and Marco got ready, Star brandishing her wand, and Marco removing his cape and getting in a fighting stance, but Michael put a hand on his shoulder. When Marco looked at the other, he shook his head. "Let us handle this, just sit back and enjoy the show," Michael said.

Him, Ryan and Felix all walked forward, which confused the monsters for a second. Felix was cracking his knuckles, Ryan was flexing out his arms and shoulders, and Michael just removed his sword from his body and let it drop where he stood. Star and Marco looked at each other, and backed off.

The fight that followed went like this; Michael muttered something to the others that sounded like, "Just don't kill them," and he struck first, leaping the 10 feet from where he was standing onto Bearicorn, where he tackled him and the both went down. Ryan and Felix followed, Ryan planting his foot on potato baby's face, somehow getting into the air. And Felix… let's just say that he did a LOT during the wars he was in back in his universe, so many, unspeakable things that he demonstrated to the fragile minds of the group of teenagers, except for Star. Star is just awesome like that.

But once the fight was over, resulting in many broken bones, one of potato baby's eyes to be gouged out and left dangling by it's optic nerve, Buff Frog's tunic torn and tattered with a black eye, and many other bruises, Giraffe guy sporting a broken neck, but nothing life threatening, man arm nursing his broken monster arm with his human one, and all of the others in various pains ranging from bruises to internal bleeding.

And all that was left was Ludo. He was back into a corner, literally pissing his tunic. Michael walked up to him, crouched low, got in Ludo's face and said, "Boo."

The little chicken dude screamed and turned to try to run, but ended up running up and slipping down a the basement wall. He finally saw enough sense to get out his scissors and cut open a portal. "Retreat!" His shrill voice sounded out. The monsters started to limp, some crawled, back to the portal. Michael stopped 3 eyed potato baby and fixed his eye by shoving it back into place and holding his hand there with this green energy forming around his hand. "That'll be swollen for a few days, but you'll still see out of it perfectly. Sorry man," and he then shoved him through the portal with a kick to the bum.

The portal closed and they looked back at the rest of the kids. They all appeared to be very traumatized, but otherwise were in awe at what they just witnessed.

"Ok, it's getting late," Santiago said, "I'm closing up shop, everyone get out of my house."

Some of the kids went, "Aww," to, "But it was just getting good," and also, "After party in the cemetery!" and Justin complaining that he didn't get his turn with the bottle.

Star and Marco quickly left as well, not wanting to relive that until they were done processing what they just saw a bit more. Ryan ran after Jackie and said, "Hey, any chance I could get your number?"

Michael and Felix were left in the basement. Michael looked around at the broken banisters and little blood stains on the floor. "Do you think we went overboard a little?" he asked.

Felix shrugged. Michael nodded to himself, then said, "Yeah, me neither."

End chapter 18

A/N: Sorry about being late, had a bit of writer's block on this one and I had to edit it. So, the next one will probably be around the 10,000 word range, since I have to make a pretty much mini war and epic boss fight, but that'll be for a while. I have to finish up the Rick and Morty one, which will be about 20,000 words, and I'm barely even ⅓ done on THAT, so, bare with me. Chapter after next will earn this fic an M rating, so, for those of you who don't want to read that sort of thing, skip over that one, the chapter after will be back to my normal writing, but because of that lemon aid that people seem to like so much, it will permanently be in the M category, so, stay tuned. Don't forget to review, and all that jazz, this has been Bigmike33321 sighning off, see ya *boop!*
