"Why should I go into a haunted house when I know I won't be scared?" Claw Noir asked. "Because their fun," Toxinelle said, crossing her arms. "Plus, you promised me I could pick the next Halloween date."
Claw rubbed his chin, a germ of an idea sprouting. "You want a bet?" Toxinelle looked suspicious. "What would we be betting on?" "Whoever gets scared first, has to buy munchies for the other for a week." Toxinelle smiled, she liked the idea of free snacks. "Your on," they shook hands. Besides, she knew she would win. Claw hissed and swiped whenever a vacuum was near, as he hated the thing.
They walked in, and soon found themselves struggling in a spider's web. Claw easily broke free, but had to help his partner out. "Do spiders eat Cockroaches?" he joked. "Ha, ha," she giggled. Dust carpeted the floor, and Claw could feel his nose twitching. Then he let out a violent sneeze!
Toxinelle jumped at the sudden sound. "Are you trying to scare me?" she asked. "No, but this place looks like HQ after it hasn't been cleaned for a week." "That's because someone cataclysm's the vacuum and Hesperia has to replace it every other week."
Claw was glad the darkness hid his red cheeks, there was no way he was telling her he was afraid of the vacuum. "He should get a Rumba instead. Less dangerous." "You just want to ride around on one, just like those Ticktock cats." Claw gave her a wicked grin. "Hey, can't help that I want to be famous."
Claw held Toxinelle's hand as they entered the next room. "Where's that creepy music coming from? Cockroach, the candles are flickering!" "Who's the scaredy-cat now?" she teased. "And why are you afraid of a flickering candle after it happened during the date you planned last week." "Hey, things just happen. Besides, your the one with luck!"
Room after room gave a spooky sensation, and the two were holding each other by the time they made it out.
"That place was spooky," Claw shuddered. "Can we get ice cream to forget?" Toxinelle groaned. "Here, I'll make you forget," she grabbed his face and gave him a good long kiss, then sauntered away.
"It worked!" she heard him call. Sure, had she been a little scared and was going to buy him snacks? Yes. But they had gotten through it together, which is what partners and lovers do.
