WELCOME TO OUR SPOOKY CASTLE

The members of Organization XIII stared up at the message written in bold letters across the banner they'd hung above the door. It went very nicely with the balloons that filled the blank atmosphere of Castle Oblivion. It was amazing what difference was made to the white walls by festooning them with some orange and black decorations

"There!" Saïx announced. "All done!"

"This place is looking really spook-tacula," Xaldin joked.

"Oh yeah!" Vexen exclaimed loudly. "This really is a spooky castle now!"

Under the orders of Xemnas, the Organization had been busy preparing Castle Oblivion for Halloween. Toy spiders and bats were dangling overhead from the ceiling. Pumpkins could be found sitting everywhere, each with different facial expressions that had been carved by the Nobodys' weapons. A long table stood nearby, covered from end to end with delicious-looking buffet food.

"A fine job," Xemnas murmured, looking around, "even if I do say so myself."

The others exchanged irked glances with each other. Anyone would think from Xemnas' remark that he had contributed to the decorating they'd been doing. All he'd done had barked orders and directions and everyone doing the actual work. No doubt he would take all the credit for it like the unfair boss he was.

"I could get used to this castle being like this," Xemnas continued. "But Halloween only comes once a year. That's what makes it so special."

"Alright, enough standing around and chitchatting!" Axel announced. "Let's get this party started! Got it memorised?"

It didn't take long for the Organization to start enjoying themselves. It was as if this fun holiday had been made for them. They were soon mingling with one another - all while wearing their costumes which they had dressed up in for Halloween.

"Check me out!" Zexion stood in front of a large tub filled with water - which had apples floating on the surface. "I'm a pro at this game!"

He dropped to his knees - which was not easy in the robot costume he was wearing - and leaned over the tub. He was just trying to sink his teeth into one of the apples to lift it out - when he sense a hand being placed on the back of his head. Before he could stop it, Zexion cried as felt his himself being pushed downwards, his face submerging into the water.

"Deary me…" Luxord sneered and pulled his hand away to straighten the hat on his head that went with his wizard outfit. "Don't you know it's dangerous for robots to go into water?"

Zexion pulled himself out of the tub, his face completely soaked with the silver paint he had applied to it smudged up. He spat the table he had caught with his teeth before fleeing at the Nobody in the sorcerer costume. "Why don't you do some magic better than card tricks - and make yourself disappear?!"

"What's a party without some tunes?!" Demyx called as he began to jam away on his guitar while dancing in his caveman outfit. "Rock music goes way back to the Stone Age!"

"Check me out, you guys!" Larxene boasted vainly as she posed in the black dress and pointed hat which sat in her head. "Have you ever seen a more gorgeous-looking witch?"

"I haven't," Lexaeus snickered underneath his werewolf mask. "Not since the witch I once saw that made me wanna howl at the moon. I wish she were here at this party!"

"Watch it, fang face!" Larxene glared at Lexaeus' cheek she tapped him on his head with her wand. "Or this witch here might decide to turn you into a frog!"

"I don't know about gorgeous witches…" Axel grinned as he straightened the pointed horns in his head that went with the red cloak he was wearing. "But would ya agree this costume makes me look hot?"

"Dressed as a devil again, Axel?" Marluxia muttered. "How predictable."

"Eh?" The cocky look on Axel's face vanished to be replaced by a bewildered frown. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"I just knew you'd dress as a devil for Halloween! You dressed as one last year, the year before and the year before that-"

"You got a problem with that?" Axel interrupted. "I gotta keep up my reputation as a handsome devil."

"Handsome devil?" Marluxia sniffed. "You?"

"Yeah! I'm very handsome indeed!" Axel pointed out to the Nobody in front of him who was dressed as a vampire. "Just admit you're jealous of my good looks, ya toothy freak!"

By now, the other had stopped partying. Their attention was fixed to the pair who were bickering. Any squabbling which happened within the Organization was something none of them wanted to miss a minute of.

"Jealous of you?" Marluxia smirked. "If anything, I'm concerned for you! That devil outfit seems to be getting you heated! I think you could do with a cool down!"

With that, Marluxia picked up a large bowl of punch from the buffet table. He held it high up over his head - before dumping its contents all over Axel.

The redhead yelped as he was saturated from head to feet in orange liquid. His cloak was soaked as the headband for his horns slipped from his dampened hair. He clenched his teeth as he snarled at Marluxia, outraged that he'd dared to do such a thing to him.

Having witnessed what happened to Axel, the others snickered and chuckled. They were very amused by the humiliation the cocky Nobody had just gone through.

"Well that was very thoughtful of you to cool me down, Marluxia!" Axel said sarcastically. "Allow me to repay you! You deserve something in return from me!"

In one swift move, Axel grabbed a carved pumpkin which happened to be sitting on the table. He brought it down toward the startled Marluxia before he could get away, sticking it on top of his head..

"Hope you like pumpkin!" Axel jeered. "I'm just sorry I couldn't stuff it with garlic!"

The others burst into loud laughter. The sight of one of the Organization with a large orange fruit stuck on his head was hilarious to them.

"Right!" Marluxia growled, summoning his vines to pull off the pumpkin. He tugged it clear of his head - which was completely covered in thick sloppy juice. He glared fiercely at Axel as he grabbed a Halloween cake which was sitting on the table - before hurling it in the redhead's direction. "Take this, Axel!"

Axel ducked.

Splat!

Marluxia's face fell, his eyes widening with horror.

Though the cake had passed through the air over Axel's head, it had flown straight into Larxene, striking her in the face to cover it completely in chocolate frosting.

"You!" Larxene hissed at Marluxia, grabbing some of the apples that were floating in the tub of water. "Here's something for you to sink your fangs into, blood breath."

The angry blonde threw the apples as hard as she could.

The pink-haired Nobody leapt out of the way.

"Stop this at once-" Xemnas demanded - before his orders were cut off as the apples managed to bonk him on the head. The leader of Organization staggered around in a dazed manner. He groaned and stumbled off his feet, his head hitting the floor as he lay unconscious.

That did it for the Organisation. With the one who took charge now out cold, there was nothing to stop them from causing their usual chaos. They proceeded to riot violently against each other, fighting with not only their weapons, but also with the Halloween decorations and party food.

None of them noticed two figures had just entered Castle Oblivion. Roxas and Xion had just returned from trick-or-treating. They were astonished to find out what the others had been doing while they were out - and even more so to witness what they were all up to that very moment as they got inside the castle.

"What's this?" Xion exclaimed, observing the atmosphere that was filled with orange and black decorations. "The Organization are throwing a Halloween party - and they started without us?"

"Looks like it," Roxas muttered as he observed the other Nobodies scuffling with one another. "But I think we're better off not jointing this one. Let's go take our candy we just gathered and have our own Halloween party - without getting caught up in this madness…"

With his arm around the young girl dressed like a cute black cat, the boy in a pirate's outfit led her away from the violence that was going on nearby. He clutched his plastic pumpkin tub closely, having had it filled with candy over the last two hours. He didn't want the others to see it in case they tried to fight him for his treats.

As Roxas walked away with Xion, he shook his head in disgust at the childish behaviour of the other Nobodies who were all older than them. He directed the glare on his face towards them as he observed their fighting, then glanced at the message on the banner. It was no longer hanging above the door, having been pulled down in all the common room which the Organization was creating at their party.

"Spooky castle?" Roxas huffed as he headed to his room. "Crazy castle, more like!"
