It's not a happy halfa that comes through the doorway of Milliways tonight. But then you'd be annoyed too if your trick or treating and other Halloween festivities had been interrupted by an upswing in ghost activity back home

Once she is busy with her milkshake, there will be a boyfriend trying to sneak up on her, the way she does to him.

Of course, he does not have the stealth advantage of ghost powers.

Also, combat boots.

[ami_imperfect]

So you'd think he'd know better, right?

"I have been looking forward to this thing since Saturday," she says wearily to the boyfriend behind her. "Please don't do anything to make me spill it."

[a1enzo]

Cursors!

"Right." He walks normally the rest of the way and hugs her, carefully and non-spillingly, from behind. "Had a rough," he pauses before guessing, "weekend?"

[ami_imperfect]

Mmm, boyfriend-hug. Dani leans into the embrace gratefully.

"Pretty much the understatement of what's left of the year," she replies. "Mischief Night, Halloween and Day of the Dead...I'm surprised I managed to get my homework done this weekend!"

[a1enzo]

Puzzlement! "I only know Hallowe'en. What're the others?"

[ami_imperfect]

"Day of the Dead is a Spanish holiday usually on the first two days after Halloween. It's when the Spanish and Mexican people honor family members who have died." And Dani can't complain that she doesn't learn anything useful in class.

"Mischief Night is the night before Halloween, when kids go around and pull pranks like TP-ing houses and soaping people's car windows. So of course almost every resident of the Ghost Zone has to get in on the 'fun'."

[a1enzo]

"Oh, brother. So, four days straight of major ghost time?"

[ami_imperfect]

"A-yup." She nods. "I had to deal with Youngblood most of Halloween night. Put a serious crimp in my trick or treat time, I'll tell ya."

[a1enzo]

"He's the one grown-ups can't see?"

[ami_imperfect]

"Mm-hm." Another nod. "I think Danny might have had trouble seeing him, too. At least I had Kelly and Everett to help."

[a1enzo]

Our little ghost-boy is growing up. *sniffle*

"What was he dressed as this time?"

[ami_imperfect]

Dani chuckles. "A ninja. Which got Everett and Kelly into the whole 'pirates vs. ninjas' debate."

[a1enzo]

Pirate, ninja, cowboy! The trinity is complete!

Enzo laughs and leans against her. "Who won?"

[ami_imperfect]

"No one; I made them call a draw so that we could actually restrain Youngblood before he wreaked too much havoc," she grins.

[a1enzo]

"Good call. Did he have that skeleton dude with him?"

[ami_imperfect]

"Yeah; I don't think he goes anywhere with out him." Dani nods. "This time he looked like a ninja monkey."
