((Basic plot- Skyheart's back, but he doesn't know about Barrel and Laura's relationship. And he wants his girl back.))
"Laura?" A young boy with blue hair, and bangs that hung in his face, wandered around the Halloween Town graveyard, searching. He'd left some time before, just to see if it would make any difference. Finally, he spotted his former girlfriend.
Laura looked over in surprise, standing up from where she sat on a tombstone. "Skyheart! I thought you-"
"Well, I'm back now, that's all that matters, right?" Skyheart said with a smile. Laura looked uncomfortable.
"Um...Skyheart? Don't...don't be mad...but..." Laura hesitated. She didn't want to tell him that she'd gotten together with someone else while he was gone.

Barrel crept up behind Laura, to try to startle her. He pressed up against the back of the tombstone, then popped up and screeched loudly. Lock wandered around, looking around a little nervously. "Shock?" he asked, tail twitching a little. He had done something incredibly stupid/rude/whatever to her, and was looking for Shock so he'd know if she was mad at him. Because if she was, he was going to stay away until she calmed down.

Laura jumped, even though she knew whom it probably was. She turned around and made her expression as serious as she could manage. "Don't do that," she growled, trying not to laugh. But then she remembered her other friend. "Oh, right, um... Skyheart?" the little Emo had strode over, a very serious expression on his face. "Who's this?" he asked in a flat tone. Shock had taken out her anger on some unsuspecting cats, and was now feeling quite cheerful. She sent another one scurrying with a giggle and a wave of her broom. She didn't notice Lock looking for her.

Barrel giggled a little- he loved doing that to Laura- but then he frowned as he caught sight of Skykit, almost immediately wrapping his arms around Laura and staring at Skykit, eyes slightly narrowed. "Who're you?" "Shock?" Lock called yet again, then finally caught sight of the witch. "OHMYGOD. Shock! I've been looking for you!" he babbled as he ran over to her. "Oh yeah. I'm real bored. Wanna experiment with some unlabeled potions?"

Skyheart looked ready to attack, so Laura had to explain rather quickly before it broke out in a fight. "When you left, Skyheart, well, I kind of...got a new boyfriend. Barrel, this is Skyheart. He was my boyfriend for a while before you." She didn't want her friends fighting. Her boyfriend and her ex, no less! "Hmph," Skyheart muttered. "Overprotective isn't he?" he was totally jealous. Laura blushed a little. She'd never minded that Barrel was a little overprotective, and sometimes downright clingy. It was just the way he was.
"Sure, sounds like fun! Who're we gonna use for a test subject?" Shock agreed.

"You never said anything about having a boyfriend before!" Barrel said, a little accusingly. But then he smiled, and planted a kiss on Laura's cheek, glancing over at Skyheart to see if he was watching.
"Um... um..." Lock would've suggested doing it on themselves, but then he remembered the last time they had done that and quickly changed his mind. "Let's do it to Jack or Sally. We haven't messed with 'em for a while now. Which one do you think will be easier? Probably Sally. But Jack's sooooo easy to fool..."

"You never asked," Laura answered just about everyone's favorite answer to a 'you never told me' line. Skyheart was fiercely jealous, you could see it on his face. And it made Laura feel bad for him. But she couldn't just make her whole life stop when he wasn't there. And the bad thing about cats was they liked to roam. She couldn't blame him for that, but she couldn't keep waiting on him to come home.
"Sally's easier to restrain though," Shock said. "So we'd be able to test more. Jack on the other hand has that damn soul thingy that he'd probably be able to beat the living daylights out of us with."

"Still coulda told me," Barrel said a little grumpily. But then he grinned. "You know what tonight is?" he hissed in her ear, grin widening a little. He only knew it- a full moon- was tonight because he could sense it.
"Sally it is," Lock decided. "The only hard part is making sure Jack doesn't find out." He didn't want to be beaten with that Soul Robber. It hurt!

Laura paled slightly. She'd been trying not to think about it. She'd already taken the necessary precautions, but still, all the full moon ever caused was trouble. She hated being a werewolf. Not to mention Barrel was probably going to try to rip her ex to shreds. Skyheart was getting frustrated. He didn't like people whispering; it annoyed him when he didn't know what they were talking about. Especially since Laura all of the sudden looked like she was scared. Or just upset.
"Okay, come on! Not getting caught is what I do best!" Shock led the way to town, a small bounce in her step. She was oddly cheerful today. Maybe because there was so much tension and anger in the air from Skyheart's return. She knew nothing about it, just knew that everyone seemed a little agitated.

"I hope Lock and Shock realize it and stay away," Barrel added. As long as his friends were safe, he could care less about his condition. Maybe he'd end up terrorizing the town or something. He still enjoyed something like that; he WAS a Boogie Boy, after all.
"Jack's a sneaky bugger," Lock grumbled, referring to Jack's uncanny ability to know when something was wrong and where it was occurring. But he followed Shock anyways. He hadn't messed with anyone for a while.

"You took the potion, right?" Laura hissed; she didn't want to be the only werewolf that was sane! Not to mention that he could really hurt someone if he didn't take it. "Would you two stop whispering?!" Skyheart finally snapped at them, but still keeping a reasonable distance. He wanted his girlfriend back badly, but if she didn't want him, he wasn't going to make her. He'd just have to win her back.
"I know!" Shock said easily over her shoulder. "Now, if I were Sally, where would I be? That's not with Jack, that is..." the answer was locked in the Doctor's place. So, they were going to have to break in. Not hard when the doctor stayed locked up in his lab and there was only one way from the door to Sally's room. Shock made a beeline to the doctor's place.

Barrel went quiet for a moment, then nodded. "Sure. Of course." Which was a lie. He was a guy, he didn't need a stupid potion! He could handle things by himself.
"She's probably with the-" Lock looked up to see Finklestein's lab. "Yeah. She's probably here. Unless she's with Jack." Sally was indeed locked up in her room. She was sick of being locked in, and her creator was obviously tired of her sneaking out. She was bored out of her mind, so she simply lay back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

Laura could tell he was lying. But she couldn't just come out and say it, because he'd deny it. She had to get him to admit it himself. That meant she had to put on a guilt trip and the cutest pout she could manage. She wrapped her arms around him and looked up at him with big, puppy-dog eyes. "You sure? I don't wanna be the only sane wolf," she muttered in the cutest voice she could manage that wasn't so cute that it would make Barrel gag. She knew her boyfriend too well.
Shock snuck into the building easily. She started creeping up the ramp quietly. No reason to give Sally time to jump out her window. Not that that would help, her and Lock could catch up with the ragdoll easily. Then she stopped. "You go first," she instructed quietly, casting a glance at Lock that said 'you better!' It might've had something to do with her wearing a skirt. Maybe.

Barrel glanced at Laura, raising an eyebrow. It seemed like she was trying to trick him into something, but he wasn't quite sure what. Sometimes he wasn't that bright. "Yeah, I'm sure," he insisted, after shooting a glance at Skyheart.
Lock pouted a little, but obediently went ahead of Shock. No sense in having her beat him up and give them away, after all. He crept up the ramp as silently as he could, grinning a little. This was going to be fun! Until Jack found out, of course.

Damn it! Laura thought. It didn't work. Then again, maybe he was telling the truth this time. Maybe he had taken it. She decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. "Skyheart? D-don't go outside tonight, okay?" she said hesitantly. She shot a brief glance at Barrel, daring him to contradict her. "Um, sure," Skyheart agreed, though he didn't understand.
Shock followed him up quietly, darting ahead once they got close to the door so she could open the lock on it. She waved her broom, and the lock silently disappeared.
