A PS238 Halloween
"Thank you again for letting me come sleep over, Mrs. Holmes."
Tyler smiled up at the adult woman, shouldering his backpack. All he had gotten from the Ministry of Extraordinary Threats was a note saying he should try and enjoy what he could of Halloween as best he could until his next Door.
"Really, it's not that much of a fuss, Tyler, I'm glad Cecil's been making more.." She paused, not to say her boy Cecil was strange really, but ...normal wasn't something he did very well. "... friends lately. Did you bring your halloween costume for tonight?"
"Uh-huh, I'm gonna be Ray Stantz!"
He held up the box containing all of his costume parts, and turned on the PKE meter to show her.
"Oh how adorable!" Claire Holmes smiled over the costume. "If you had told Cecil I would have re-fitted his costume for him, this is one of his favorite movies!"
"Yeh, it's one of mine too." He replied smiling on the inside as he went into the bathroom to change. If only because I know the people portrayed personally...
"Well if you want to, you can watch the movie upstairs with Cecil and Malphast, eating marshmallows."
Tyler paused, zipping up the jumpsuit and grabbing the PKE meter as he started listening to the noises inside of the house. Eventually a dull roaring noise came from upstairs with an occompanying rise of the needle.
"CECIL! Turn down the volume!" She was yelling up the stairs to the room, as Tyler trotted out of the bathroom.
"I'd better get up there..." Tyler said as there was a clattering upstairs of kids moving around, heading up the stairs. "Malphast's parents have never let him watch scary movies before.."
He got into the room just in time to see a few marshmallow tentacles slip out of the open window and out into the neighborhood. The room was in disarray and there was a torn plastic bag stuck to Malphast's head. "I apologize, friend Tyler... my mind wandered."
All three of them went to the open window to look outside as the movie played in the background.
"Look! Over there!"
"What is it?!"
"Oh nooo..."
"What did you do, Ray?!?"
The tentacled marshmallow monstrosity screeched in the night as it squirmed down the street.
"...well... at least it's not the Stay Puft marshmallow man."
Tyler smiled up at the adult woman, shouldering his backpack. All he had gotten from the Ministry of Extraordinary Threats was a note saying he should try and enjoy what he could of Halloween as best he could until his next Door.
