((Who plays the mayor anyways? I saw a bio for him once...)) All Barrel had to do was mention the Mayor, and Jack hid behind a nearby randomly placed wall. He was tired of planning Halloween when it was already planned. Angelica took deep breaths to calm herself. Her heart was still beating a little faster than normal, but she couldn't help that. "Are we gonna go trick or treating together?" She asked, blinking up at Barrel. "Do you wanna go back to the treehouse?" Shock asked. Lock seemed uncomfortable out here.

(Skye does.) Barrel nodded. "Of course we'll go trick-or-treating together!" he told Angelica. He had forgotten that Halloween Town had a full moon every Halloween, or he wouldn't have promised that. Lock thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, let's go." She drooped slightly. She felt that she was being a burden to Shock, so once they got to the treehouse, she'd request that Shock let her down.

Shock stood and snuck off toward the treehouse before anyone could spot them. He didn't feel like answering any questions. He made it in good time and frowned up at the rope, then sat, get this, on top of the elevator and let that pull him and Lock up. He jumped off and was in the treehouse. Angelica smiled, now calmed. "Yay!" she said happily. She, of course, loved Halloween as much as the former Boogie's Boys. ((We can fast-forward to Halloween if you want))

(Want to?) Lock looked up at Shock. "Now can you put me down?" she asked. "I mean, I like you, I just don't like being a burden to you, so I'd like to get down please." "Where do you want to go trick-or-treat?" Barrel asked Angelica. "Anywhere in the Human World."

Shock looked around for a comfortable place to put Lock down. "Okay," he agreed, setting Lock down gently on the couch. "Texas!" Angelica answered automatically. She didn't know why she picked Texas, she just did. Laura nodded in agreement; that was the state she originally lived in before coming to Halloween Town. "That sounds good!" Laura said enthusiastically. She too had forgotten about the full moon. ((Let's do it! I wanna see what happens at the full moon with two werewolves and a blind girl!))

(Okay.) A few days later, it was Halloween. Of course, the sun was still up because Barrel planned to start trick-or-treating (and scaring) as soon as the sun set. But he had this strange feeling, like something bad was going to happen. He had forgotten that it was the same feeling he got the day of the full moon. Lock had officially moved her room to the main room of the treehouse, because she had happened to have a room that was up a small flight of stairs, and she didn't feel like dragging herself downstairs whenever she wanted to get out of her room. She she moved to the couch, where she could still see what her cohorts, Laura, and Angelica were planning for Halloween.

Angelica and Laura with their friends had been sensible and started planning a few days before, unlike the mayor, who planned all year. Angelica had been sticking with Barrel, and was getting better about getting around the treehouse without constant help. She was still hesitant to go too far alone, because of the few times she got into trouble, but she was getting better. Laura was also getting a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, something nagging the back of her mind. In all the excitement of Halloween, she had forgotten her and Barrel's special condition.The one thing she could thank Evanesce for was the wings she had, which made her look more Halloween-ish. Shock had changed into his costume, of course, but it didn't feel the same as being his costume.

Lock was grumpy again, but it wasn't because she didn't want help. She was grumpy because she knew she'd be bored this Halloween, and she wouldn't be able to go out and scare people. If she tried, they'd most likely end up either laughing at her or attacking her because she was a devil. "So... Shock? You coming with us?" Barrel asked. He wore the same skeleton costume that he did every year, because he liked seeing people he'd scared before recognize the costume and freak out.

"I was gonna go on my own for a little at the begining," Shock answered, "And then meet up with you guys later," He wanted some time to think, and see if he could scare anyone on his own in his human state. "Awe!" Angelica whined. "Why not just come with us?!" Shock turned away. "I just have some stuff to do first," he said uncomfortably.

"Well then, I guess we'll see you when we see you," Barrel replied with a shrug. "Ready, Angelica?" Even though Lock was upset because she wasn't going out, she didn't complain. She didn't want to ruin it for everybody else by complaining. So she forced a smile. "Well, guys, have fun, okay?"

Angelica jumped up. "Let's go!" She said excitably. This was gonna be fun, even if she couldn't see. "See you guys later!" Shock got up and hurried out of the treehouse. He was going on to the Human World to see if he could be even mildly scary. Walking outside, he saw the sun was already setting. He hurried on and found the portal, and jumped through.

"Bye..." Lock said somewhat unenthusiastically, and flopped onto her back. Now she had the whole night alone, to do basically nothing. And she couldn't take a nap because she, like many Halloween creatures, stayed awake for a good part of the night. Barrel picked up Angelica and turned to leave, then stopped. There was a sharp pain in his mouth. Confused, he raised a hand to his mouth... and felt his teeth sharpening. With a jolt, he realized what was happening. "Laura, do you think Jack's still in town, or do you think he left already?" he asked urgently. "We have to get Angelica away from us! I don't want to hurt her- or worse, kill her!"

"I know!" Laura was also panicking. She looked outside and saw the full moon, just barely. They needed to get out of the treehouse; not only could they hurt Angelica, but Lock couldn't run away. But before she could point any of this out, she transformed into the silvery gray werewolf that had become familliar by now. Angelica heard a snarl, and trembled. She had no idea what was going on, and she couldn't see what was going on, so she was completely confused.

Barrel was trying not to transform, which hurt. But green fur began growing all over his body as he too panicked. "Um..." He whirled around and darted towards his room. "Angelica, I'm sorry, we won't be able to go trick-or-treating tonight unless Shock comes to get you. It's just... Laura and I have a little problem with full moons, you see. So I'm going to shut you in my room and that will hopefully keep you safe. Okay?" Without waiting for an answer, he set Angelica down. But before he could close the door all the way, the transformation was finished, and he stood on all fours, growling softly. Lock froze as she heard the snarl, and lifted her head, slowly turning her head to glance at Laura. She froze, just lying still on the couch. She would've yelled for Shock, but the witch was probably far away by now. And the devil was terrified. Shock had said he wouldn't leave her, and she believed him. But the one time he left, something bad happened. And Lock was scared out of her wits. This was just what she had feared when she had found out about her disability.

Laura snarled quietly, spotting one prey and scenting another. She decided on the prey just lying there, and advanced, slowly, hackles raised and teeth bared in a growl. Angelica stood still for a moment. What was going on? She could sence something was wrong, but she didn't know what. She could tell there wasn't any people close by, and therefore was scared to move. But then again, she was still in the treehouse and bet she could figure out where to go. She found a stick on the ground and used it to feel her way around the walls, trying to find the door.
