Plot: I've kind of got two plots going on really, one is how the trio react to Halloween and then the second plot is Annie getting a visit from one of her college friends who didn't know she'd passed away.
Info: I've not written any fanfiction before but I've always wanted to and so tried my first attempt a few weeks ago. I'm quite sure how the plot came about really aha but i wanted it to include humour and drama and this is the result... (Edit: 8th April 2012 - I've rewritten some of part one from it's original post made back in June 2010, just a bit of tidying up really.)
Happy Halloween Part One
Annie was up, early as usual, making Breakfast for the boys before they headed off to work as she always did as part of her routine. She’d decided to attempt to make a full English for them as well but the bacon was a little burnt, okay, so all of it was a lot burned after she’d got distracted singing along to 'Never Gunna Give You Up' on the radio.
She plated up and even managed to find some flowers from the front garden to decorate the table. She stood back and admired her work skipping back to the toaster to collect the toast after hearing it go off before finally bringing the drinks over. Strong black coffee for Mitchell and some herbal tea for George, it may have been green tea, Annie couldn’t remember ‘Same kind of thing’ she said out loud to herself.
Just at that moment George and Mitchell walked in, ‘Morning Annie’ they both said in unison.
‘What’s all this?’ Mitchell asked her.
‘Breakfast, silly!’ Annie said chirpily with a smile ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you can’t go to work on an empty stomach.’ She smiled again before ushering a confused George and Mitchell into the Kitchen and sitting them down. ‘Enjoy!’
Annie sat herself down and watched them impatiently to see if they liked it. Mitchell prodded the food a bit & noticed a trail of ash come out from under the bacon. ‘It’s great Annie, really… lovely’ Mitchell said sarcastically as he realised he would be swallowing more ash than food.
‘Thank you, I know it’s a little burned but I thought you’d like it’ Annie cheerfully said
‘It’s a bit more than a little bur…’ George began to say before he got a kick from Mitchell under the table ‘God Mitchell! What was that for?!’
Mitchell didn’t even need to say anything, George just had to see the glare he was getting to be quiet and eat the rest of his breakfast. He never liked it when Mitchell gave him those death stares, plus, he shouldn’t be mean to Annie, she’d gotten really upset over the last couple of days.
It all started when Sarah, an old college friend of Annie’s, popped by their house to visit her. Having been in New Zealand for the past year she’d not heard that Annie had passed away. Annie didn't think she'd have to deal with this as she thought someone from her family would've told her first. It broke Annie's heart as they were so close, more so because she had to listen to Sarah find out whilst being in the same room as her. She was more upset she couldn't see her to explain, it would've freaked her out, she just had to hear Sarah fall apart, hiding in the Kitchin
It was a late afternoon and Mitchell had just come back from his shift at the hospital whereas George had a few more hours left to go. He’d just got himself a beer out of the fridge when there was a knock at the door.
‘Who is it?!’ Annie asked appearing by the side of the door, making Mitchell jump. ‘Jesus, can you stop that! You scared me half to death!’ to which Annie gave a bemused look. ‘Oh you know what I mean’ he said giving half a smile before opening the door.
‘Hello..?’ He asked
‘Oh. Err, Heyy... You’re not Owen?’ She asked, ‘Has Annie chucked him? Thank god! Nasty piece of work he was, I told her before I left for New Zealand he was trouble so I’m glad she got rid. Besides, you’re wayyy more attractive.’ She said with a smirk, eyeing Mitcell up and down.
Mitchell had a blank look on his face ‘What? Err...I’ll just get Annie for you’ when as he turned to look at Annie she was sitting on the floor, face staring into space and she was almost close to tears. Mitchell let Sarah come in after asking her who she was. He recognised the name, Annie had spoken about her when she mentioned her college days.
‘Yeah sorry, Perhaps I should've said first, I’m Sarah I went to college with Annie but I’ve been on a gap year to New Zealand, I got back a couple of days ago but I thought I'd pop by and see Annie, I haven't seen her in ages!’ She said 'Is Annie about at all?'
Then it all fell into place, Mitchell realised she didn’t know about Annie’s death and Annie hadn't seen her at her wake. It was horrible for him to explain, horrible for Sarah to hear and even worse for Annie, hence why George realised he ought to be nicer to her.
'How are you today then Annie?’ he asked sipping a bit of his tea.
‘Good thank you George.’ Annie said giving another smile.
Before the boys headed off for work Annie reminded them to get sweets for tonight.
‘Why? What’s tonight?’ George asked
‘Don’t tell me a werewolf and a vampire don’t know?!’ Annie asked confused to which she got two more blank stares from Mitchell and George as they headed towards the front door.
‘Oh god’ Mitchell said as he opened the door to see three children walk past on their way to school, obviously for a non-school uniform day. One was wearing a full on Dracula costume, fangs, cloak, fake blood the lot. The other had a fluffy wolf costume on with added snout and large teeth and the third one had a white sheet covering them with only two little white holes for eyes.
‘Happy Halloween!’ they all cheered as they passed Mitchell, Annie and George who were standing in the doorway of their open front door. ‘Happy Halloween!’ Annie shouted back waving ‘Great costumes guys!’
George walked to the car mumbling under his breath ‘Please tell me I don’t like that, I’d hate to think I look the wolf from the three little pigs.’ Mitchell, on the other hand, rolled his eyes before looking at the little boy in his cloak and compared it to his outfit choice for the day; Black jeans and a black tee. He felt a tiny bit disappointed his outfit lacked a cloak.
Part two
‘WHO PUT THIS IN MY CAR?!’ Mitchell shouted grabbing a soft, squidgy pumpkin that was hanging from his rear-view mirror holding it up to George to Annie. Of course, as Mitchell grabbed it, it started singing, which he was not impressed by.
‘What’s wrong with Pumpky?!’ Annie asked
‘Pum-what?!’ Mitchell replied looking blankly at her
‘Pumpky! The little singing pumpkin’ Annie told him followed by a little dance and humming as she tried to impersonate it ‘I saw him at the shop and thought you’d like him.’ she said, slightly disappointed Mitchell didn’t have the same affection for him as she did.
Mitchell continued to stare at her, before noticing George who was humming along to it now too as he squished it in his hand.
‘I’m not having that in my car!’
‘Oh please Mitchell’ Annie pleaded ‘He’s a present for being so nice to me these past few days with the whole, you know, Sarah situation and I thought he’s perky and … and festive and it’ll help you get into the spirit of Halloween! Stop being stoogy and... and…’ and without being able to find a suitable word she just huffed, grabbed the pumpkin off of George and finally managed to tie it back on Mitchell’s mirror after he made several attempts to grab it off her but with Annie ducking and diving out of the way in between bouts of slapping him away, he failed epically, eventually just giving in.
‘Fine, the pumpkin can stay.’ Mitchell reluctantly said which made Annie’s face light up as she skipped back into the house. In a way, Mitchell was pleased she was happy; he wanted to cheer her up since she’d been having such a bad time of late, with Sarah coming back and reminding Annie of all the things she’d lost. As perky as she appeared he knew she was still a bit upset.
‘I’m glad you saw sense there Mitchell, admit it, you know you love Pumpky really’ George said with a grin.
‘Yes George, totally besotted, you know I can’t resist cuddly singing novelties’ Mitchell replied sarcastically looking at it out of the corner of his eye. George gave it a little squeeze making it start to sing and he sang along with it all the way to the hospital.
