Chapter 75: Hallowinx!
It was bright and sunny in Auradon Prep. Ben was walking through a couple of tents as it was the Heroes & Heroines Festival, where students could display their talents and volunteer during the weekend. He was fortunate to have the weekend off when his parents insisted he have some fun, which he would spend the time with his girlfriend who was doing some portraits. Ben thought to check on her, he had been worried for her after she came back from Cloud Tower after the failed mission to stop the Trix. Coming into her tent when she was just doing a latest portrait.
"Hey, Mal, you busy?" Asking his girlfriend, who was in the middle of working obviously.
"Yep, I'm in the zone." Mal didn't take her eyes from her work while spray painting.
"Can you de-zone?"
"Not a word, but I will forgive you, 'cause you're cute." She glances at him with a coy smile. "But not cute enough to make me lose my focus."
"Is it about what happened in Cloud Tower?" Ben asked, seeing her flinch a little was enough to get the idea. "Look, no one's mad at you. The Winx were just worried, so am I."
"It's not that, Ben." Stopping her work to turn around, giving a down look on her face. "I had them right there when this… thing came out of nowhere and took me by surprise." Shivers of seeing that creepy face that shows up in her dreams, having no idea who or what that thing was. It was enough for her to draw it, having her sketchbook with her which was recently done. "Here, this is what I remember."
Handing it over to Ben to take a look at her drawing, so far to be a man in a black suit with a pair of metallic wings and darkness flowing around him. "Woah, now that's someone hard to forget. You think he could be working for them?"
"No clue, but next time I see him, I'll remind him that taking me on is the worst mistake he ever made." Mal swore to get back at him.
"Well, just take it easy on yourself, don't want you getting hurt. And I'm only saying that not just as a boyfriend but as someone who truly cares." Ben gives a small smile to her, something she always finds hard to resist.
"Okay, you got me on that. But if you will excuse me, I gotta finish this portrait I got to get finished for the festival. "At Least it's trying to take my mind off the… 'incident'."
"Oh yeah. Your digi-image." Ben said.
"That's definitely not a word." Mal stated.
"Your digital image? Digi-image." Ben phrases, but she still didn't understand what he was talking about.
"Still not a word."
"This." Ben decided to show her what he was talking about. A picture with Mal and Evie from the back, with a very frustrated Audrey who was covered in green stuff.
Mal takes his phone to read the comment out loud "Mal's a princess in waiting, alright... a princess in waiting to mess up!? Hash-tag Princess-aster."
"That's trending by the way." Ben could only put it.
An incident happened when Evie brought cupcakes she baked for the festival, but she inadvertently overdone it by using all the known elements from the periodic table, except for sulfur. Mal didn't want to use her magic to cheat but was convinced by her best friend's 'skills of persuasion', however she threw them out just before Mal could complete the spell. And unfortunately exploded right where Audrey was just around the corner. Needless to say… she was not at all pleased.
"Okay, so I may be the daughter of one of the worst villains in Auradon history, maybe the known worlds by far, but I actually did a lot of good things and saved people." Mal tells him of the times they spent together to be keyblade wielders. She hands it back to him against his chest as he catches it. "But what you Auradon kids are doing to the English language is cruel. Not to worry, I'll make it up to Audrey by posting this wicked portrait of her as her favorite heroine."
Showing him the portrait she has been working on with Audrey dressed in her mother's royal outfit with her hair braided to the side, she seemed pleased with it in hopes of getting the princess' goodside again after the accident.
Ben however, was somewhat uncertain about her choice. "Her mom. Maleficent's daughter painting Sleeping Beauty's daughter as Sleeping Beauty is supposed to help your digi-image? Do you remember Family Day?"
"Ugh. Family Day." Mal shuddered dramatically, getting a terrible flashback of that incident when her secret was exposed to the public, it was something she really wanted to forget. It would have been worse had her father showed up, but dared not go into such thoughts. "Okay, so what? I should just do some un-Sleeping-Beautying?"
"That's not a word." Ben says.
"I may be part witch and also a key wielder, but I'm learning to be Auradon again. Come on, it's not like I gave her Captain Hook's coat. Check out this new spell I learned from Cloud Tower." Casting a new type of magic that gives her a portrait with a captain hook's redcoat."
"Okay, funny, but stop." Ben tries to talk her out of it, but she appears to not be paying attention.
"Oh, how about Curella's fur." She then cast another spell to give her portrait, now with a white fur coat with black spots.
Ben tries to stop her before it could get any worse. "Mal, enough with the magic."
Mal was unable to stop as she was having too much fun. "Wait, wait, here's a good one. How about my mother's horns?" Changes Audrey's hair to wearing a curved hat with Maleficent's horns on top.
Ben would think if Taren was here to see this, he'd find this funny. But was more concerned for Mal getting a little ahead of herself. "Okay, but change it back before someone-" Unfortunately he was too late when he heard a phone snapshot, hearing his phone ring and holding it in his hand to find Mal's current portrait on social media. "...Sees it." Groans as both reading the text that says: "SOZ, looks like we have r answer about Mal... Maybe she's not so 'good' after all. SMH"
Mal realized her mistake and now made things more difficult for her than before. "I… have a digi-image problem."
"Well, if it makes you feel any better. How about a halloween party?" Ben offered her, causing the purple haired teen to raise an eyebrow.
"A halloween party?"
"Yeah, Bloom got an invite to her home town and wanted to ask if we wanted to come along tonight." Believing this will be a good time to have fun and get some break from all the adventures and battles. "What do you think? Sounds fun."
Thinking it over, she thought it could be a nice idea as it's been awhile. "Hmm, eh, why not. So long as I do the trick while have the treat."
Having an uneasy feeling she has something in mind for that part. "Please, say you're not gonna do something mischief again."
"Oh, Ben! How could you say that to me?" Mal spoke dramatically, acting shocked and betrayed before flashing her eyes at him. "When have I ever been that way?"
"I can come up with a lot of people in mind." Ben chuckles and smiles.
"How's things been going with you guys over there? Still trying to find Cronus?" Taren was in his bedroom back in Destiny Island during the weekend break and spent some bit of time with his family, for the night's event his parents will be going out to a party, his sister will be at her friends while they allowed their son to go out with his in Gardenia. Using the laptop to speak with the heroes on Earth of what's been going on and catch up with them.
On the screen was Jay and Odie during an online chat. "Yeah, and as usual, he always makes his escape after we clean up the mess after the other." Jay responded, having adjusted to the role as leader of his team well by the look of it since the keybladers left.
Taren understands the feeling. "No kiddin', the Trix and Kefka are always one step ahead of us no matter how much we try to stop them."
"Not to mention that if Cronus is teaming up with Kefka still, this can only be trouble." Jay recalled the last time they first fought him and how he helped Cronus almost destroy the Earth. "Hera didn't take the news well at all and advised us to avoid confronting him without caution or with any keybladers like you with us. Can hardly blame her, he's just powerful and dangerous."
"I wouldn't blame her for that." Taren agreed with him. Finding out that Kefka was a god many centuries ago, he was not all that known to many Olympians and first assumed he was using the name of a late god who once almost destroyed all worlds when he fell into a state of madness.
Not much of his history so far and further research was needed if any keybladers at that time were around to know about or had confronted him. It would be dangerous for the heroes to confront Kefka with magic far stronger than their own and could take them on in a one-sided battle.
There are still questions that need to be answered.
"So word is you guys also have another villain to deal with." Odie inquired. "What's his name, Darkar?"
"Yeah, while still searching for the artifacts, and so far things are being tough for us these few weeks." Taren told them. Decided to change the subject to not make this conversation low. "Anyway, with Halloween coming up, you guys got anything planned?"
"The girls are going out to see a classic horror movie. The rest of us are on kitchen duty to bake cakes." Archie told him. "As I recall reading of ancient cultures, it was to appease spirits and witches. Kinda like how we do it today."
"Archie is the one who isn't looking forward to it. If you guys got any missions needed, he'd jump for the call immediately."
"Sorry to disappoint him but we haven't got anything except a party to attend." Taren said as he got an invitation by Bloom to a halloween party in her hometown. "Just got invited and thought to get some break from all the action once in a while. Anyway, gotta get myself ready, have fun guys."
"Take care." Switches off the chat and closes his laptop. Gathering his stuff to leave when he suddenly noticed his sister in her bedroom, what he noticed that was odd was how she was sleeping with some of the books. This was odd to see her either hitting the books or falling asleep out of boredom. "Hana? You sleeping?"
It was odd to see his little sister snoozing, usually it was either him or his dad. Last thing his mom wanted was another lazy bum in the family. Thinking of an idea to test a theory. "Hey, mom, didn't see you there."
The younger auburn teen jumped up and wide awake, mostly in a state of panic with her arms flailing about. Causing Sapphire who was resting on the bed to jump up out of startle "Mom! I-I wasn't sleeping! I was just resting my eyes!" Realizing that she was tricked with no sign of Kairi about, glaring her eyes at the snickering Taren. "Very funny, Taren!"
"Sorry, couldn't resist!" He chuckled. "But what's this? Homework?"
Reaching out for the book, ignoring his little sister's protest. "No, don't! Not what you think!"
"Wait a minute, this is magic? Are you trying to learn magic?" Never thought she would be into it. But also sees some of the journals that were in her room. "Okay, did you just robbed a library or something?
"Shouldn't you be heading off to meet your girlfriends and friends. I made plans myself! Out!" Hana didn't like the fact that he was snooping on her stuff when most of the time he was keeping her out of his, pushing her brother out of her room as she could.
"Okay, okay Tell mom and dad I'll probably be a bit late but have my phone. Later!" Decided to take the hint and leave, but it still made him wonder what made her so curious about magic? Maybe she wanted to know more about it since her first trip to Magix.
Still, she hasn't shown any signs of magic yet since both their parents only started out about 14. Who knows what would happen. Maybe have a talk with his parents when he gets the chance.
Had Taren stayed a little longer, he would have seen her in the middle of a sketch of someone, a child wearing a dress and long curly hair.
The Wielders of the Keyblades had gathered together and made it to Gardenia where they will join up with the Winx. They found the streets filled with halloween decorations and people in costumes while it's still daylight.
"Wow, and I thought we arrived in Halloweentown." Mal looked around to see so much decorations and people in costume.
"Maybe next time we should take a trip sometime." Ben suggested one of the future visits to some worlds they know and can imagine the girls' reaction to the place full of scare and fun. "Hey, Taren, where did they say the party was at?"
"At some house someplace, Bloom has the address." Taren told him. "I'm not sure how the girls will react as we have no idea if they celebrate it in their worlds."
"Yeah and best to be careful of what we wear for tonight." Ben reminded them to be careful of using their magic. "And that goes to you as well Mal. Can't go into your dark fairy form."
Mal made a humph sound as she groaned in disappointment. "Fine. But I got to choose what I wear as long as it's cool and scary."
"You mean besides your looks?" Taren grins and snickered, earning a mild glare from Mal.
"One more joke like that and you'll go as the frog prince. A really ugly frog." She warned him.
"Guys, you made it!"
Before Ben could step in between them, they find Bloom calling out to them from the other side of the street waving at them. "Wouldn't want to miss this chance to hang out."
"At least it wouldn't be any crazy like the clubhouse." Mal crosses her arms when she notices the pixies accompanying the Winx. "Uh, shouldn't they be back at Alfea?"
"It's okay, they can't be seen by anyone but kids." Layla assured her as it was true with no one taking notice of the Pixies as if they weren't there.
"Does your friend know we're coming?" Flora asked Bloom.
Hearing this caused Taren to groan upon his first time meeting the spoiled brat. "Mitzi? Isn't she the one who didn't like you?"
Bloom forgot to bring it up and thought he wouldn't have come if she mentioned Mitzi's name. "Well, Mitzi isn't exactly a friend but she did say you guys could come along."
"Who's this Mitzi, girl?" Mal asked, her answer came when a car's horn caught their attention. It was an expensive looking one and in it was Mitzi and her friends.
The glasses wearing teen glances at them and then to Bloom. "Oh, you made it back in town."
Giving the impression she was not surprised.
"That would be her, only to be the annoying version of Audrey." Taren whispers to Ben and Mal of his experience meeting her to get the idea. Needless to say, the two already got the idea just by seeing her.
Bloom was mildly surprised that Mitzi would invite her to her party, even if they didn't like each other but accepted it anyway. Giving a civil greet to her. "Hello, Mitzi."
"And so these must be your new friends then?" Lowers her glasses to look at her friends, immediately recognising the male redhead from before. "Oh, it's you. Still hanging out with Bloom."
Responded with a mild annoyed look at Mitzi. "Nice to see you as well. And couldn't turn down an invite from my girlfriend." Giving the small smirk to see her shocked expression of hearing the last part.
Bloom smiles and nods to confirm the statement. "Yes, Taren and I are dating. Since you already met him, let me introduce you to the Winx!
"Hello." Flora was the first to greet her as the rest of the Winx girls waved and smiled at.
"And these two are Mal and Ben."
"Hi." Ben nodded his head.
"Hello to you too~" Mitzi smiles at Ben with a wink.
Ben notices the look she was giving him, ignoring her gaze as it was obvious what she was thinking about. "Hey." Shrugging his shoulders in response..
Mal however, saw this and instantly knew what that look meant and did not like her at all for eying at Ben. Loops her arm around his to show he was taken. "Yeah, nice to meet you." Spoke in a neutral tone, but gave a stern glare at Mitzi.
"The party is at eight o'clock. Try not to look so scruffy alright?" Mitzi tells them and flicks her finger to the driver who wasted no time hitting the pedal, leaving the group coughing from the dust left behind.
Stellar was starting to get the idea why Bloom wasn't friends with her. "Speak for yourself!"
"Yeah, really. Was that blue top tacky or what?" Tecna commented on the car more than Mitzi's rude behavior.
Taren coughed and waved his hand to clear the debris. "I still wondered why you even accepted her invite in the first place."
"Hey, let's not worry about Mitzi alright? A party is a party!" Bloom reminded them just to have fun and not worry about anything else, even if she was to agree with them but thought it was halloween to celebrate.
Lockette looked around and saw one of them in a costume. "Bloom, is that costume?"
Mal shakes her head. "Nope, just a regular guy in clothes."
"This one's kind of hard to explain, Lockette." Bloom knew it would be a little difficult to explain to them.
"Mm. I don't get it. Mmm.." Lockette did not have any idea how this holiday works.
"Okay, so let me get this straight, one of the pixies predicted that three sisters were going to appear and attack us. And you think it's the Trix?" Mal asked them after hearing about this prophecy that was foretold. Taking on the costume of a genie, although she modified the shoulder pads to be spikey and her hair pulled to the side for style. She showed it off to Ben and seeing his reaction was adorable.
"That's what Jolly told us, but I wondered why the Trix would ever come to Gardenia for anything?" Bloom, while uncertain if it was about the Trix, better to at least be prepared and why she wanted to bring the keybladers along just in case.
"That does seem a bit odd to be honest." Ben would assume the keybearer and their friends would have someone watching over the city since the last time the villains sent someone in an attempt to kidnap Bloom's parents as hostage. So far there haven't been any problems and have been quiet for months. Getting into the spirit of halloween, the king of Auradon was dressed up as the hooded assassins from the video game. "Last thing we want is a bunch of party crashers like last time we had one."
"Well for once I like to have a party without the Trix or any trouble." Taren told them. Dressed up in a costume based on the Bleach character Ichigo Kurosaki in his bankai form, carrying the custom made sword strapped to his back. Did not have time to wear a wig so had to improvise with a mask resting on the side of his head. Stella wanted to change the color of it, but he denied it as it was meant to be from one of his favorite anime shows and an excuse to carry a sword.
It certainly had an effect on Bloom and Flora, both who couldn't help but be swooned by his costume, something he was hoping for.
While the keybladers were in their costumes, the Winx wore their hooded gowns with their hoods pulled down, wanting to give a surprise to the party guests and to Mitzi.
As the group walked towards their destination, it was night and foggy to see as the place they were supposed to go was all creepy and scary with lots of jack-o-lantern pumpkins, startling Lockette out of fear and flew back the group.
Stella was a little creeped out among hearing a wolf's howl from a distance. "Compared to this, Cloudtower is warm and fuzzy. You sure this is the right place?" Asking her best friend if they were going the right way.
Bloom was leading the way with the map Mitzi gave her, studying the map and they appear to be on the right track. "Yeah, we're nearly there!"
Taren followed her but stopped for a moment to notice Flora shivering. "You alright?" Asking her out of mild worry.
"It's so cold!" She responded, wrapping her arms to warm herself up until she felt an arm around her and pressed up to the side, finding herself in the comforting and warm embrace of her boyfriend.
"This help?" Taren asked.
Feeling much better of how he was thinking of her wellbeing, nodding her head and nuzzled in his arm to feel his warmth without feeling cold himself. Either he was using his fire magic or not seemed bothered at all. She noted a black cat and took no notice of it as they continued to catch up with the others.
"Hello, Flora."
The two suddenly stopped and thought they heard someone speaking to her. They looked to see where the cat should be. But it wasn't there anymore.
"A black cat just spoke to me!" Flora said in surprise and wondered where that cat went.
"And how did it know your name?" Taren wasn't sure how that cat or anyone knew her name just now. It was really strange. He felt a hand grabbing his shoulder, causing the redhead to jump in shock. "Gah!" Only to find out that hand belonged to Tecna. "Geez, Tec, don't try to sneak up on people like that." Giving a mild glare at the pink haired fairy.
"Guys, you're letting this place get to you." She didn't know what they were talking about and wanted to be sure they weren't falling behind.
They continued on their way until at last finding the gates ahead of them. "Here we are." Bloom said and walked right through, obviously this had to be the place where the party was being held. "This is the house."
The house was large and looked very old, there was a sign by the gate that said "Silent Villa"
Tecna was in awe of the place. "Wow! Just like that video game Resident Evil Doom 2!"
"Wait, did you say Resident Evil?" Mal thought if she heard her, reminding her of a game she played from Earth. "It wouldn't have anything with zombies or mutant monsters would it?"
"Yes, you played it, Mal?" Twcna asked her.
"Let's just say there's a game a bit like that on Earth I found out and very popular." Mal told her.
"There will be dancing right?" Layla pondered.
"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be a party." Ben assures her.
Digit could hear something and called the others' attention, almost sounding like a pair of crows. "You guys hear that? Listen up!" Digit then sees a small speaker on the ground making those sounds. "Ah ha, artificial noises!"
"They're supposed to make that sort of sound to make this place scary." Mal tells the Pixie when suddenly hearing an unearthly whispering.
"Bring a bone-white mask. Bring a bone-white mask."
They saw a faint figure, female by its build and wandered in the fog to fade away.
"Who's that?" Chatta couldn't know who it was.
"Are you fake too?" Digit asked but received no response.
Lockette didn't want to stick around to find out. "Ehh, let's go follow them!" Taking her advice and immediately flew off to catch up with the others.
Arriving at the door, Bloom was the first to knock, the roof above them crumbled a little with dust falling on them.
Mal was annoyed by having dust in her hair. "Nice place to set up a party(!)"
"I agree. This house is about to fall apart!" Tecna noted.
"I know." Bloom was about to knock but found out that the door was in fact unlocked and opened it. What she did not expect to find was a A jack-o-lantern dropping down and startling the Winx. However, they take a sigh of relief that it was just a Halloween trick.
A maid came and lifted the jack-o-lantern back in its place before taking notice of the group before her. "Who are you?"
"I'm Bloom and these are my friends. Here's my invitation." Bloom shows the maid her invitation to confirm.
"Please come in." The maid then escorts them all inside, closing the door with the last of the group to enter.
"Uh, very nice costume." Musa commented on her maid outfit.
"I'm not a party guest, I'm at Mitzi's service." The maid corrected her
"Whoops." Musa obviously made a mistake before they follow her and entered the room full of guests in costumes.
The Winx and the keyblade wielders take in the sights with amazement. What they noticed was how calm it was and no one was actually dancing or any music but the background sound effects.
"Uh, seems calm for a party." Ben did not think it would be like this. He wasn't expecting a welcoming but everyone seems to not take any notice of them.
"Is no one going to welcome us? How very rude!" Tune complained of the lack of manners the guests have.
Even Chatta had to agree with her. "Aww, this party's so lame!"
"And it's so dark!" Layla added.
"Hello, hot stuff." Bloom and Layla turned to a man in a formal suit with a pair of specs and hair and mustache brushed to the sides, obviously trying to chat with them as some sort of doctor. "If you're not feeling well, come and see me, I'm a doctor you know?"
Layla didn't seem impressed by his way of words and a little creeped out. "Yes, well, doctor, you're the one who's making me feel queasy."
"Hah! Maybe you'd rather be in the hands of my assistant, the nurse!" Introducing them to his 'nurse' who wore a jacket and an eyepatch over her right eye as she approached them.
"Hey. How did this trash get in here?" Walking past the girls without any care as she stood next to the one dressed as a doctor.
Bloom ignored her snide remark and wanted to ask about Mitzi if she was here. "Umm, is Mitzi around?"
"What if she was?" The 'nurse' replied. "You really think she'd give you the time of day? As if, Mitzi would waste her time chatting up little girls like you."
Bloom glares and grunts at the nurse until she spotted Mitzi above the stairs. "Mitzi!"
All the guests in the room turned their attention to Mitzi who was walking down the stairs elegantly with music in the background. Dressed in her dark purple-blue tank top and skirt to match, with long pieces of cloth streaming down the skirt, along with knee length dark pink-purple pointed toe boots and a small pumpkin purse.
"Ooh! I wish I could carry myself like her!" One of the guests said in awe of her entry, oblivious to notice Mal making a silent gag of hearing this.
Mitzi stopped mid-way down the stairs when the music suddenly started skipping, looking down and narrowed her eyes at the DJ who was playing it. "Huh?"
The DJ is clicking on the mixer and trying to fix it. "Oh no!" The CD's skipping! Huh!
Mitzi marched her way down, furious at the DJ for ruining her entry. "You loser!" She yelled, startling the DJ and slams her hand on the table and points at the DJ. "Get out! I never want to see your face again! Got it?"
Leaving the DJ in tears of the insult and embarrassment.
"Hey, lighten up, no reason to blame him for it." Taren didn't appreciate the way she was treating her staff, especially in front of the guests.
"Although it would have been better than her entry." Mal added and started to see why Taren had the idea of not wanting to come.
Mitzi ignored them and walked over to Bloom and Layla. "Bloom, I'm so glad you came." Although her tone of voice didn't seem convincing, she began twirling herself to show off her dress to Bloom. "Isn't this dress marvelous?"
"Ho, yeah, it's really something else!" Bloom complimented her and did not seem bothered by her costume.
"'Something else'? What kind of complement is that?" Mitzi questioned Bloom. "Aren't these sparkles dazzling? I had them custom made, they cost me a fortune!"
Mitzi then notices how Bloom and her friends are wearing their robes, believing they were wearing something unimaginative and lame underneath, or never had time while three of their friends were in costume. "Now, speaking of costumes. I find yours very disappointing, I told you to wear something elegant! This is a party, NOT a funeral!"
Stella smirks and could not wait to see the look on her face for what they have in mind. "Sweetie, put on your sunglasses!"
"And why should I?" Mitzi gasps when the Winx remove their robes and reveal their fairy forms. She was absolutely stunned with no words to say about their 'costumes'. The guests were more impressed by their outfits and turned their attention towards Winx instead of Mitzi.
"How did you make your wings? They look so real!" One of the guests asked them in awe.
"That's a secret." Flora answered, knowing the truth would be more difficult to explain
"I would so love to wear something like that just once in my life!" Another complimented on Stella who took it with appreciation.
"It beats series 2902, thermic-optic-camouflage!"
Mitzi could not believe Bloom and her friends were gaining the attention and not focus on her. She couldn't believe they found the costumes, and even more surprised that the redhead actually has a boyfriend. Probably some loser like her.
"Would you like me to go and dim the lights a little bit?" One of her friends offered.
"No, you'd just mess it up. Anyway, I've got a plan to scare 'em all right out of their half-wits." Mitzi was certain her plan to make them the laughing stock would work, it was the reason why she even bothered to invite Bloom in the first place to get the laugh out of it.
With the group wandered off and try to mingle with the guests, so far some dont seem a bit interested while not as bad as Mitzi. Taren went to find his girlfriends by the snooker table
"Hey girls, enjoying the party?"
"So far Mitzi's friends are very boring, they don't seem to talk much." Flora told him while holding a glass in her hand.
"Yeah, not very talkative." He noticed Bloom holding two drinks in her hand. "A little thirsty, Bloom?"
"Oh that, it was an idea to try and meet new people, even tried to chat up this guy who's from Romania. Looks like some vampire slayer." Bloom said. "But maybe give one to you anyway."
"Thanks, maybe I could use one to pass the time." Appreciating the offer. But before he could get one, Bloom was suddenly yanked by her wing. Causing the glass she was about to give to Taren to hold crashes onto the floor and the other spilling on her top. He looked over and saw the grinning Mitzi and had a fairly good idea she did that on purpose.
"Sorry about your dress! You know, nothing stains like a Screaming Mary!" She walked away with a satisfied grin on her face.
Mad of her stunt for ruining the moment and believing she could get away with it, but Bloom decided to outsmart her with the use of her magic, removing the stain off her top and refilling it her glass. "Mitzi!"
Mitzi turns around, expecting Bloom to make some petty comeback. But instead, Bloom had a glass full and no sign of the stain on her at all. The trio grin at her as Bloom held out her drink to her. "Your drinks are great, it'd be a shame to spill one!"
"Huh?" Mitzi goes wide eyed, looking confused as to what happened. She was sure to have made the redhead spill her drink.
Meanwhile at the gate, three eerie figures appeared with a pair of eyes red as blood and their hair casting down and unkempt. "Her eyes are red, red like blood." Speaking in a raspy voice "Her face is crawling with maggots, crawling with maggots."
"Whoever is touched shall also perish. Perish horribly."
"Her face is crawling with maggots, crawling with maggots." The third began to laugh and vanished into the fog.
Mal and Musa stood by the room with Jolly looking all scared and shaking. "Girls, did you just see some strange girls back there?"
"Are you still thinking about that prophecy that you spoke about?" Mal asked, not wanting to say she doesn't believe it but. Speaking directly towards Musa as if talking to her when she found out pixies cannot be seen or heard by anyone with no magic except kids and animals.
"Relax. They're just Mitzi's boring friends with costumes on. They think they're so cool." Musa assured her that nothing was wrong and so far no sign of the Trix, as something she prefers it that way.
Jolly would have taken their advice but was still scared that it might come true. "We'll soon be facing our doom! I could feel it!"
"Hungry is what I feel." Musa could go for something to eat with no food around.
"Yeah, same here. Did Mitzi forget to order food?"
They heard the sound of the doorbell ringing which was a surprise for the girls. Mal decides to go and check it out and opens it to find an old man dressed in a spider-man costume. "Uh, can we help you?"
"Just your friendly neighborhood cake delivery guy! Here's your delivery, girls." He gave them the delivery before walking off with a friendly wave. "Nice costumes, Excelsior."
"Don't you mean, happy halloween?" Mal stated.
"That too."
They thought it was odd for an old man to be dressed up for Halloween, but maybe he was just wanting to have fun. But didn't seem bothered and got some food with Musa holding the cake box.
"What did they order?" Mal asked the confused Musa.
"Cake?"
"Of course, my dear!"
They turned around to the sound of the voice belonging to a guy dressed up as Freddy Krueger. "These are very, very special cakes." He walks over to the girls as Musa gives the box to him. "Pumpkin cakes made especially for Mitzi's party! Wanna see?" Opens it to show them with Mizti coming over to them.
"Offer them one!" Mitzi suggested. "Say, Mally right? Why not have a first taste?"
Sticks his clawed finger into one of the pumpkin cakes and offers it to Mal. "Which one would you like? This one here?"
Ignoring his laugh, Mal resisted the urge to roll her eyes of getting too much into character, not sure what Mitzi was up to and took it without hesitation. She was about to eat it, not knowing the grin on Mitzi's face as she had in fact made these from earwax, making the girl look bad and perhaps score a moment with that cute brunette teen.
Before Mal could take a bite, she suddenly paused and looked confused. "Hey, is someone moving one of your portraits?"
"What? Who!?" Mitzi spun around and was almost surprised as her friend looked over to the same direction. Only to find nothing. "Wait, I don't have any here. Especially in this crummy house."
"My mistake, besides you would have fit right in this place." Mal jokes and eats it.
The two expected her to be grossed out, but instead she seemed fine and swallowed it. "Mmm, nice pastry. But I could use a little more icing."
Mitzi couldn't believe it and was certain that she was faking it. "What?"
Mal grins and hands the box to her. "Thanks for the cake. Coming Musa? I gotta see if Ben wants to dance."
"Sure." Musa follows her, leaving behind the stunned looks on the two, mostly Mitzi's.
"This has to be a trick, she had to have eaten the earwax, I made sure of it." Decided to try them out to be sure, thinking one of them is real without eating the wrong one. She gulped it down and suddenly her throat was burning, along with her tongue that was suddenly on fire. Grasping her throat and coughing smoke, she cried out. "WATER!" And ran for the closest bowl of punch, pushing aside the guests for the water. Grabbing the bowl and ducked her head in it
Jolly was laughing at how funny it was until Livy flew up to her with a crossed face.
"Jolly, are you sure that was such a good idea?" Livy scolded her best friend.
"You're absolutely right, Livy, I should've made them bite her!" Jolly said with an amused grin on her face.
The guests watched and laughed, causing Mitzi to grit her teeth and glaring at Mal who had a mischievous grin on her face as she came up to her boyfriend.
"What was that about?" Ben asked.
"Oh, that? Guess she picked the wrong pumpkin." Mal giggled and looped her arm around his. She made Mitzi and her friend turn around, giving her the opportunity to use her magic and Molly's to change the pumpkin cakes when she suspected something was off and make them taste good for either her or Musa, but to Mitzi it be the total opposite. And she couldn't believe the rich girl took one until they find Tecna running up to them.
"Tecna? Is something the matter?" Ben noticed her face and looked almost in a state of panic.
"Guys, meet upstairs in the private room, we found something that could spell trouble for us all." She told them.
The couple decided to follow her and meet up with the others to see what she had found that was urgent.
As everyone gathered in the same room without drawing attention, she explained they found the image of the three sisters from a portrait when she first assumed how unsafe the house was with all the cracks but believed to be in bigger danger.
Bloom didn't like the sound of this at all. "I don't like this three sisters stuff; if it's the Trix, we could be in trouble!"
Layla noticed one of the pictures on the wall with cracks on the wall. "Tecna, was the crack you saw like this one over here by any chance?"
Tecna didn't realize it until now. "Hey, this crack starts from behind the picture too!" The frame had some writing and the picture of the house. She read it out loud for them to hear. "Renovated fifteen times in twenty years, the mystery of Silent Villa. After each renovation, the house seems to age fifty years in a matter of months! No construction worker will go near the place anymore. Reports the foreman." She realized that it all made sense and recalled the house being unsafe. "The house is haunted! I guess that would explain all the squeaks we've been hearing."
"Oh come on, Tecna. I mean, apart from all the things we've seen you really think its just a coincidence we happen to come to a house that's just at the time of halloween?" Mal questioned Tecna's logic. "I haven't felt anything off here, but unless we get more proof than maybe it is haunted. Or better yet, someone may be in trouble."
A second later, Mitzi's maid rushed in to find them in a fit of panic. "Bloom! Quick! Mitzi's ill, she asked for your help!"
"Okay, didn't expect that to happen." Taren sounded amazed that it happened.
Mal would have agreed, leaning towards Musa to whisper in her ear. "If it had something to do with the pumpkins, we had nothing to do with it." After all, she was a pain in the neck and had it coming, even if Bloom would not agree with her methods.
They arrived in Mitzi's bedroom, finding her in bed and looking hysterical with her 'nurse' beside her. To some, it was obvious she was over doing it
"Mitzi, what happened?" Bloom asked her.
"I saw them!" Mitzi proclaimed in a panic. "All three of them!"
"Them?" Bloom was confused.
"They're still alive! The…" Mitzi pointed her shaking finger at the vanity mirror. "The mirror!"
The 'nurse' confirmed it for her. "Mitzi saw the three evil sisters who used to live in this house over a hundred years ago." Picking up an old newspaper to show them. "There was an article about it in the paper, about how their adorable younger sister was murdered when someone tried to demolish the house.
"A fourth sister?" Flora asked her, not expecting to hear about it.
"Yup." The woman confirmed. "It says here that 'in order to avenge her death,' the three sisters made a deal with some witches, who then turned their clothes into blood and the three sisters haven't been heard from since.
Digit remembered something and whispered to Tecna about it. "Tecna, I saw one in the yard!"
"Uh, well then, why didn't you report it?" She asked Digit for not bringing it up sooner.
"I thought it was a prank!"
"Hmm, I don't buy it." Mal narrowed her eyes with her arms crossed, finding this story a little easy to believe but remained silent to know more about it.
"So, Mitzi saw them." Bloom pondered if it really happened.
"It is said that when the three sisters come to announce the return of the youngest one, mirrors will shatter as they walk by them! And that's what happened!" Mitzi tells them her story.
"They must be pretty ugly then huh?" Stella commented with a mild grin on her face.
"Stella!" Flora scolds her for not taking this seriously but didn't want to start trouble.
Musa looks at the mirror that Mitzi claimed to have seen the ghosts. "Hmm... So that mirror…".
"Yes, the three sisters were here." The 'nurse' confirmed her statement.
"And, if ever the fourth sister returns...Ooh!" Mitzi made a dramatic cry after finishing her sentence.
"What's going to happen then?" Layla asked to find out more.
"She has blood red eyes, wears a bone-white mask and a dreary dress." The woman described, earning a gasp from most of the girls, Mal remained silent as Taren and Ben were with Layla and remained calm as they listened to more of the ghosts. "They say, her gaze is petrifying and whoever looks her in the eye is all but doomed…"
"And yet somehow they know this and we don't?" Taren whispered, finding it odd to not know
"Bloom, you're the only one who can help me! You've got to stop her, the fourth sister wants revenge, I just know it!" Mitzi pleads for Bloom to do something
Bloom decided to find out more about it, whether it could be real or someone pulling a prank but couldn't say 'no' to someone in need. "We'll help you Mitzi, I promise."
"Does anyone get the feeling this is all so odd?" Mal was having doubts about it. "How suddenly this Mitzi character suddenly knew this and we didn't?"
"For all we know it could be some pranksters but maybe not let anyone know, it could be them or maybe it's the Trix planning something." Ben told her while they walked down the stairs, noticing everyone in a state of panic. "What's going on?
"Probably something to do with that?" Taren pointed at the broken mirror that had caught everyone's attention.
Bloom decided to find out and maybe find out by asking someone. "Why's everyone so worked up? What happened?" ONe of the guests simply ignored her and walked away. It was just her luck that no one was willing to talk to them. "Oh, great, another friendly guy(!)"
"Even if they were in danger, I bet they wouldn't say a word." Taren was starting to get a little annoyed by how these guests are acting..
"Hey, check out the mirrors!" Layla noticed the broken mirrors in the room.
"They all broke at once, each and every single one of them! It must be a sign!" One of the frightened girls who was part of the party sounded scared.
"Yes! And I picked up the presence of four ghost-like entities." Another said.
"Four?" Bloom thought if she heard them correctly. Four ghosts?
"Guys... Look at the picture." Tecna points at the three faceless girls picture that she found earlier, only now it had four sisters in it. "It's the fourth sister!"
Bloom thought maybe it was time to find out what's going on. "Everyone stay put, this is dangerous! Guys, follow me!" The Winx and the keybearers made their leave to follow Bloom.
As they do, the maid stood by and was smirking.
They walked outside the mansion in hopes of finding out if the ghosts were truly as the legend was real or another of the Trix, but Bloom was having doubts about that, could be another foe they never confronted. "Come on, everyone stay close!"
Out of all the members of the group, Layla was more scared due to how dark it was and being around a creepy mansion. "Oohh... I cannot stand the dark!" A light suddenly turns on, making the princess gasp out of fright. The light actually came from one of the Jak-o-lanterns when she must have triggered the light by accident, but found Stella standing next to it.
"Come on, it's just a pumpkin!" She gives a demonstration by flicking her fingers to switch it on and off with her magic. "On, and off, and on and-"
Musa stops her using her magic. "Uh, Stella, we're not supposed to use magic on Earth! Besides, you're spoiling the element of surprise!"
Stella was about to join them when she caught something from the corner of her eye. "Hang on a second! There's someone over there!" The others had no idea what she found until she pointed at the figure in the shadows.
Flora wasn't sure what it was and too scared to go near it. "It looks like a skeleton!"
Ben decided to join her in case there was trouble while the rest of their friends wait and find out. The two walked over to where the supposed person was, but instead was just a rake by the tree.
"Ah. It's just a rake!" Stella confirmed her belief.
This was a relief for the others to hear. Stella then picked up the rake and let out a soft giggle. "Someone could trip over this!" THinking her eyes must have been playing tricks on her and drops it to join the others.
"She wears a bone-white mask. Her eyes are red, red like blood." The ghostly woman that resemebled those from the portrait appeared before Stella and startled her.
Two more of the sisters slowly approach the Winx and keybearers. "Her face is crawling with maggots, crawling with maggots."
"Whoever is touched shall also perish." The ghosts of the sisters surround the group from all three corners.
"Careful guys, now we know what we're dealing with!" Bloom advised them with caution.
"Yeah, a trio of ugly old hags." Taren muttered.
Mal noticed something off about them but couldn't explain it. "Whatever you do, don't use your magic or your keyblades." She whispered to them to hear without giving reason. "Hey, why don't we just try to gain distance from them."
Taking her advice and backing themselves away as the three who continue to approach them. "Ben! They're so scarey, don't leave me!" Mal clung to Ben's arm in a dramatic state.
Ben was surprised and almost bought it. "Mal, nothing to be-" He caught her eyes moved to the corner to see the gates. Whatever it is she was up to, he decided to play along. "Guys, quick, back to the gate!"
"Huh?" Bloom sees the entrance. "Over there!" They backed away into the fake cemetery. With the ghosts pursuing them.
Layla noticed several jack-o-lanterns with lights, but only to be suspended from the air. " "I just saw some lights!"
"Of course you did, I'm right here!" Stella told her.
"Not you. She means the lanterns." Taren notices them as well. "Mal, whatever it is you got in mind, do it fast. I don't wanna find out if they really are ghosts."
"Oh! We're surrounded by ghosts!" Mal proclaimed, holding her hand to her forehead, causing Taren to resist the urge to critizice her so-called acting. She heard a faint voice with her hearing of someone speaking about them.
"The stars of our party aren't too bright huh? That girl in the genie outfit must be really scared of them."
Hearing this made Mal's eyebrow twitching of the insult about her. Resisting the urge to smack them and spoil the moment while listening to the 'ghosts' chanting.
"She wears a dreary dress. Her eyes are red, red like blood!"
"A bone-white mask, she wears…"
Tecna noticed the three looked identical and almost faceless. "They have no faces! It's the three sisters!"
"Well at least the fourth never showed." Ben at least assumed.
"The fourth sister is here! Behold!"
They all turn around and the "fourth sister" appears and makes a rasping roar. Had anyone been paying attention to the ground, they would have noticed a moving branch slithering towards the fourth sister who suddenly caught it and fell over. "WAH! Oof!" The so-called ghost let out a shriek and had her face planted to the ground.
Mal smirked and giggled. "Well, guess even in the afterlife, they always trip over something."
Stella resisted the urge to laugh and smiled confidently. "Mitzi!"
"Mitzi?" Tecna, Bloom and Ben looked at Stella in confusion.
The one who fell that Stella Mitzi immediately grumbles that her prank was foiled. The other three 'ghosts' then remove their masks and were none other than Mitzi's friends who were in on it.
"Of course, you guys. Come on. Just look at the way she carries herself, it's a joke!" Stella explained to the others who didn't realize it.
"Yeah, and it made sense why she went to all the trouble of asking us to 'help'." Mal added. "Oh, and Mitzi, a little advice, try not to trip over something or over do the story?"
Taren had a reason why it seemed so odd to happen, right on Halloween night, especially for Mal's acting. Looking at Mitzi removes her mask.
She growls and glares at Stella and Mal for ruining it. "You are a witch!"
Mal giggles. "You're not wrong there."
Stella smiled and amused to see her reaction. "Hm. I see, she does have maggot face!"
"You know, I did wonder how you look without it." Taren chuckled.
Mitzi ignores their jokes and tries to act confident. "Oh, come on. Admit it! You were scared out of your wits!" She and the three cronies who were in on it join her, along with a handful of her friends.
Mal rolls her eyes and is not at all amused. "Oh yeah, very original, rich girl." Crossing her arms as did Bloom doing the same who wasn't affected by her insults.
"Pathetic! What is it again you call yourselves? The Wink?" Mitzi continues to laugh and make fun of them.
Bloom looks up and sees something hovering in the air, thinking it would be better to let her know about it "Mitzi…"
"I mean, if you saw a real ghost, you'd completely lose it." Mitzi, who was oblivious to what was behind her as what appeared to be an actual ghost descending towards them.
Stella believed this to be another prank and found it pathetic. "Sweetie. She's right behind you."
"Come on, a little desperate to see us scared?" Taren said in a neutral tone and not all were impressed. He suddenly noticed Mitzi's friends shivering in fear and quickly fled for their lives.
While he was baffled of what was going on, the Winx who were oblivious of what was happening had smiles on their faces as Mitzi finally noticed something and turned around to see it
it roars at her with a frightening sound. Mitzi goes wide-eyed and screams. "A-a GHOST!"
The Winx and keybladers watch Mitzi faint in fright and notice it was not one of Mitzi's tricks when it was not touching the ground. The "ghost" pulled the robe off, revealing inside to be just the Pixies.
"Toota patoota!" Piff shouted
"Wait, what?" Taren did not expected this to happen. Then noticed the lanterns that were hovering suddenly dropped, which was actually one of the pixies' doing.
"Despite your prophecy, the evening ended on the right note!" Tune said to Jolly who was somehow relieved that it didn't happen.
"My mission is not to understand destiny but to point out the possibility of a gloomy future."
"And Stella shed light on the whole thing!" Amore added before the three of them shared a friendly laugh. Everyone else joined in on how funny it was that they scared the pants off of Mitzi and her friends.
They went back into the house, only this time to make the party more fun than it was. The DJ starts up the music. Bloom, Tecna and Layla went inthe center of the dance floor.
"Come on everybody, let's dance!" Bloom called out for everyone to have fun.
The Winx start dancing, showing off their moves. And everyone decided to join in, seeing how fun it is and lighten up.
Taren smiles and taps his foot watching, he was suddenly pulled by Flora to the stage.
"Come one, let's dance!" She pulled him to the floor and danced, he decided to do so, and held her hand out. He would have a turn with Bloom next when seeing her dance next to another girl .
Musa dances with the Freddy Krueger costume guest.
Ben pulled Mal to dance with her, both in each other's hands and as she was swaying her hips.
The pixies were sitting on several pumpkins. Digit and Lockette were jumping on a pumpkin but Digit soon gets off, Lockette continues jumping on it until it breaks, revealing Jolly inside and they started laughing.
Layla dances with her partner and having fun, when her back was turned, the Witch her dance partner gets pull away, taking her place was the one dressed as the costumer to joins Layla instead.
"Darling, love the hat! Totally hip!" Stellar compliments the one she was wearing with the girl she got along with.
Standing by the side was Mitzi, annoyed by how her moment of making Bloom look like a fool backfired and made her and her friends popular. She was annoyed by one of the guests asking her to dance when she wasn't in the mood. "No, I refuse to dance! I'm in a really, really crappy mood today! Hmph!"
"Everyone has a dark side!"
"Now this is a party!" Taren proclaimed when dancing with Bloom.
"You bet!" She agreed with him and wrapped her arms around him with a smile. Bloom noticed something was off but couldn't help wondering. "Say, did you notice that one dressed as the scarecrow?" She remembered seeing someone dressed as a scarecrow and unlike the others seemed more lively, but then suddenly disappeared.
"Huh? Scarecrow?" Taren had no idea what she was on about, maybe it was one of the guests who just left but didn't take notice.
Outside the mansion, the scarecrow walks out and starts laughing. "Oh, what a fun halloween it has been!" Taking his mask off and revealing none other than Jack Skellington. "I almost thought it was just a bore until those kids showed up and made it so exciting! Even Sora's boy got into the spirit of it! Happy Halloween everybody!" Yells out to the full moon in joy. "Oh, don't go away, we still have a special bonus after this!" Winking to the viewing audience.
Bonus feature for Halloween!
At the House of Mouse that is celebrating Halloween, many guests dressed up in various costumes for the event took their seats. Including the keybladers, the WInx and the Specialists invited. "This clubhouse is amazing! Although I can't say the same for the chairs, but gotta give his majesty the top choice of the idea." Stella smiles as she and the Winx were invited.
"Check out all the guests, both heroes and villains in the same room." Sky commented, and a little creeped out by the huge winged monster taking the space. They found some strange fellows, several dwarves, a giant, even animals as well. One was a warthog who was served a bowl of grub and munching on it, making some of the girls to silently gag. The Digimon sat in their own table as well next to the others
Bloom finds the clubhouse amazing, she watches the penguins taking orders when suddenly spotted a bear and a fox with a pair of clubs sneaking up on three pigs. Not wanting them to get away with it, she secretly used her magic to make the clubs suspend in the air. Confusing the two who were about to use them find they were without any until the clubs fell on their heads, knocking them out.
"Nice one, Bloom." Musa said.
"Definitely wanna come here some time." Flora was interested to hanging out in the Clubhouse more often.
Ben agrees with her. "Trust me, Flora, this is actually fun and they were to convince my parents and the other heroes to at least let some villains a chance to gain some free time from the Isle of the Lost."
"His highness really must love Halloween." Mirta noted of the decorations, everyone agreed with her untilt hey suddenly went quiet as Mike the announcer spoke up.
"OOOOh! It's a house-kateer halloween! Get set for Disney Kingdom's most haunted! He's Count… Mickey… Mouse!"
The guests claps upon the king's entry in a puff of smoke, dressed up in a dracula-themed costume. "Velcome! Velcome Vy children! Oh, boy! I love Halloween! The time when I get to go all out to scare people out of their wits. Lots of hauntings going about. I even saw Hades painting the town dead!"
Hades, who was eating his worms for a snack, chuckled at that joke. "Hah! Love that."
"There's about to be ghosts roaming about, even the haunted mansion is looking frightfully crowded
The Hitchhiking ghosts having their table looked at each other. The one with the tall hat spoke. "You think they can see us?"
"No, of course not." The one with the ball in the chain denied it. "The mouse is probably lying!"
"Odd how we gained reservations." The third one thought, looking like a skeleton compared to the two. "Sure they can't see us?"
"He's psychic." The bearded ghost instead.
At the reservation, Donald, dressed up as the devil, decided to have some fun by trying to scare the guests. Hearing someone coming and was ready to make it his first. "Boo!" The one he intended to scare was the former king of Aurdaon.
In his beast form.
"ROOARR!"
"WAH!" Donald in a state of fright ran off.
The Beast to chuckled with a satisfied grin to scare off the duck. "Still got it."
King Mickey continues his moment to make a special announcement. "To celebrate this year's Halloween. We've invited a special guest, all the way from Halloween Town itself! The King of the Pumpkin song!"
The room suddenly went dark and the music was turned on, smoke filled the room and placed tombstones and three shadowy figures appeared on the tombstones as they started singing.
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
Ghosts manifested and flew over the audience. "This is Halloween, this is Halloween!"
Three pumpkins with different faces impaled in spikes after they were dropped by the ghosts waiting and singing.
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat 'til the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
One of them caused the three little pigs to cling to each other.
In this town of Halloween
Beneath Pete's table he noticed something under his table and lifted the sheets.
"I am the one hiding under your bed. Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red!"
Showing its blood red eyes and sharp teeth, causing the landlord to cry out in fear and ran to the stairs.
Stella and Musa both snicker at how the fat cat ran off until they suddenly hear the snakes hissing coming from beneath the stairs.
"I am the one hiding under your stairs. Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair." A humanoid creature emerged from the shadows, with hands made with actual snakes for fingers and spiders in his hair. Scaring both the fairies and jumping into both Brandon and Riven. Neither of the two did nothing but grin to enjoy this.
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
Halloween, Halloween
The four coffins open up by four vampires who rose and moved in a line. "In this town we call home Everyone hail to the pumpkin song" Flapping their arms to ascend in the air.
Next came the mayor of Halloween Town standing on the stage with a wide grin on his face. "In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody's waiting for the next surprise!" Spins his body, but to the girls' surprise, his head remains still with the sound of gears moving.
Donald crept through the room, looking nervous of what was going to happen.
'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce and how you'll scream
He was startled by a monster with three tentacles on its head, a werewolf and a man with his face literally melting. Scaring the daylights out of the duck mage.
This is Halloween, red and black, slimy green
Aren't you scared?"
A pair of witches flew over the audience.
Well, that's just fine! Say it once, say it twice!
Take a chance and roll the dice.
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
The Winx see a large tree with a face walking on a pair of legs with skeletons hanging by the branches. "Everybody scream, everybody scream!" The skeletons joined in. "In our town of Halloween"
A clown of some sort riding on a unicycle and approaches Timone and Number. "I am the clown with the tear-away face!" The due were startled when he took his face off to reveal nothing inside and hear a deep voice. "Here in a flash and gone without a trace" Threw a smoke bomb for the effect.
Faint raspy voices sang through the wind.
I am the who when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night. Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
The citizens of Halloween Town march up to the stage in a single line as they sang with the last one pulling a strawed horse and a pumpkin riding on it..
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween, Halloween 'Alloween, 'alloween, 'Alloween, 'alloween
Two children monsters sang after chopping a pumpkin. "Tender lumplings everywhere. Life's no fun without a good scare!"
"That's our job, but we're not mean." A couple sang together. "In our town of Halloween."
The Mayor once sang in the spotlight. "In this town, don't we love it now? Everybody is waiting for the next surprise"
By now, everyone could see the man with an axe in his head pulling the 'horse' and pumpkin jack, the citizens carrying torches and when the pumkin came to life and took one of them.
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everybody scream
Won't you please make way for a very special guy
Taking the fiery torch in its mouth burning itself and started dancing on the wooden horse with no concern for the fire, flailing his arms and legs about.
Our man Jack is king of the Pumpkin Patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
The audience watches in awe of the performance as the pumpkin king would be brought to a cauldron.
'Alloween, 'alloween
'Alloween, 'alloween
Everyone watches in surprise when the pumpkin king dives into the cauldron and await for what happens next.
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
Emerging from the cauldron was Jack Skellington himself. But wore a different attire than his usual with a tall hat with candles around it, large extended and curled collar coat and wore fingerless gloves with patches of white fur around the wrists and ankle boots attached. The citizens chorused and danced around him until he extended his arms to the audience and bows to them.
"Happy Halloween!"
The audience cheers and claps at their performance to celebrate the holiday. The keybladers, Winx and the Specialists gave a clap to join in to show how much they were enjoying the show and enjoy the celebration. Maybe have their own Halloween party next year.
Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter as I didn't had the chance to make one earlier so made it up for all. I would have taken the idea of the heroes visiting Halloween Town but couldn't think of any for the moment so will do so next time. So decided to introduce them in it as the special guests of the House of Mouse in the bonus!
Due to the issues with this website as I cannot see any reviews, not getting message or story alerts with the email issues happening for weeks. I decided to put this one on a wattpad website which you can find as there are going to be updates and minor changes such as dividing it into story arcs. maybe consider a tvtrope as well but not sure yet. Almost reaching the end of the second arc now. Even added some of the Wicked World for fun as I found it takes sometime before the second movie as months after the first.
For Jack's outfit, I decided to give him a new look that was based on the app game Disney Mirrowverse whyich I thought he looked cool in it, possibly how things would make him go for a new style over the years.
