Sora rolled his eyes sarcastically as Kairi said that she couldn’t let him down. She would never let him down. There really wasn’t a thing in the worlds that she could do that would let him down. Even if she had rejected him, it wouldn’t have really hurt him for long. They could’ve still been friends, and he would’ve been happy as long as she was happy. But now that they were officially a couple, the idea killed him inside, so he refused to think about it. He was just so happy, and so was Kairi, so things were meant to be this way. He watched as she went off through the crowd. He kept a close eye on her, knowing it would be easy to lose her in the group of people giving out candy. From the way she was headed, it looked like she was going to spook more than just a couple people.

Sora followed the crimsonette with his eyes as she reached the back of the group. She had something in her hand, but he really couldn’t tell what it was. He took a couple steps forward to get a better look. By this time, Kairi had summoned up her Keyblade. She fired off some spells, and he felt a cool breeze brush past him. He smirked when everyone began looking around for the source. She was doing well so far, setting everyone up. However, as he’d looked around for the others’ reactions, he didn’t see Kairi move. So when he didn’t see her in the spot he’d left her, he was surprised. He couldn’t seem to find her at first, then there was lightning and an explosion. A pumpkin-headed Kairi jumped out and roared at everyone, making them spin around, jumping and howling in fear. Sora even jumped a little. Then everyone started laughing and clapping. They were throwing candy like roses, so the brunette quickly made his way to his girlfriend’s side and helped her pick up the treats.
”That was so incredible, Kairi!” he exclaimed. ”You scared everyone within twenty feet of us! Awesome! We’ve got so much candy!” He let out a gleeful laugh and continued to scoop up candy next to her.

And I'll scare you right out of your PANTS!

Sora nodded as Kairi asked if she’d really scared people so much. It was true, everyone he could see was tossing candy at them. He was really proud of Kairi. It was far spookier what she’d done as opposed to himself. But his usual competitive nature didn’t make an appearance. He was just happy that Kairi had done so well. She then thanked her scare teacher, which he guessed was supposed to be himself. That was confirmed when she thanked him directly. A light blush crossed his cheeks before disappearing again. He was getting better at controlling that reflex.
”Are you kidding?” he replied, smirking. ”That was way better than anything I’ve ever done. That’s Jack Skellington good, I’m telling you! But… you’re welcome.” He picked up another couple pieces of candy and then brought himself up to his full height. He reached down and helped Kairi straighten out as well.

The crimsonette made a comment about how she’d told Sora that they’d get a lot of candy. He laughed and nodded.
”Yeah, I’ll say,” he answered. ”I think we have enough to last us until next year, all thanks to you of course!” He stuffed the candy that he had in his hands into his pockets and waited for Kairi to do the same. Once she had, he returned his arm to around her waist, where things felt the most natural. He thanked the townsfolk for their candy and they thanked Kairi for her terrifying display. One person called it horrible, which Sora was afraid Kairi would think was an insult. Of course, that was just one way that people in Halloween Town gave compliments. Still, he was sure she’d get it, and if not, he’d explain it to her. He led her off away from the crowd to the edge of town. He looked down at her, still beaming.
”So, now what?” he asked. ”We could go exploring, or find someone else… You know, whatever you want to do.” He was happy doing anything as long as Kairi was there with him.

And I'll scare you right out of your PANTS!

Sora was relieved when Kairi took the horrible compliment as what it was. One less thing he had to explain. So he just kept leading her away. Finally, she answered his question once the others had stopped praising her. She said she really didn’t know, which was how he kind of felt too. But she mentioned talking and eating candy. That sounded like a good idea. Then she mentioned Zero, and he knew how much she liked the dog. And then exploring sounded like a good idea too. He laughed with her as she admitted there were a lot of options.
”Well, how about we do a little bit of everything?” he suggested. ”We can go exploring, looking for a place to sit and talk with our candy, and Zero can come with us!”

The brunette turned away from Kairi briefly and whistled. A couple yards away, Zero pricked his ears up and looked around. He found the source of the whistle and barked happily before floating over to Sora. Knowing that Jack had Sally now, the ghost dog concluded that he wouldn’t be needed for a while. He flew over to Kairi and licked her face. Sora grinned and started to lead her off again, with Zero following close behind.
”Got any interesting places to show us, Zero?” the Keyblade Master asked the dog. He yipped happily and sped in front of the pair towards the graveyard. Not knowing exactly what he had in mind, Sora followed. He didn’t know all of the places in Halloween Town, so he hoped the dog would show him a place he’d never been.

And I'll scare you right out of your PANTS!

Sora followed Zero and kept Kairi close, just in case someone decided to pop out and scare them. No one did, so that was a bit of a relief. The ghost dog led them to Curly Hill and led them to one of the rock walls. The wall he’d chosen had a small door in it, big enough for the two of them to fit through. Kairi asked Zero if he wanted them to go inside, to which the dog barked and flipped. Sora smiled.
”Okay, then,” he told him. ”I’ll go first, make sure it’s safe and all.” He smiled at this and released Kairi. He bent over and looked through the door, curious as to how where it led. But he'd find out soon enough, so he just went through.

The door in the wall had led to a separate graveyard that Sora’d never seen before. Still, it felt familiar, so he had to guess that maybe Roxas had been here before. He was rather surprised he’d never noticed the door in the wall before, but he’d been pretty busy doing other things the last time he was in Halloween Town, so he didn’t suppose it was impossible. He turned back to the hole and cupped a hand around his mouth.
”Looks clear to me!” he called, then leaned up against the wall away from the door so Kairi and Zero could get through. The ghost dog just phased through the actual wall and appeared next to Sora, making him laugh. This place looked secluded and private; a good place for him and the crimsonette to talk and enjoy themselves.

And I'll scare you right out of your PANTS!

Skyler followed Sora and Kairi. She hid near the side of the hill careful not to be seen.

~Thinking of you, wherever you are.

Sora nodded in agreement to Kairi's comment. Since it was a graveyard, the Princess found it a little creepy, but as Sora had said before this whole world was like a graveyard, so she didn't worry too much. The brunette walked over to a spot where there weren’t too many headstones, just one short, long one that kind of looked like a bench. He sat down on it and patted the spot next to it, motioning for Kairi to sit. The crimsonette sat down next to him and smiled. She then heard Sora say that he hoped that this wasn't disrespectful, saying all the dead’s living here so it really didn’t matter. The red head gave a nervous laugh and said, "Yeah that's true." Knowing that made her glad that there weren't any dead people under them now, but still the thought of living dead was a little scary

Kairi didn't linger on that thought long though as Zero grew bored and began flying around in circles around the couple, obviously wanting to play. Sora laughed, looked around, found a stick, and started playing fetch with the dog. The Princess watched and giggled as Zero barked happily and sped after the stick. After throwing the stick a couple times the Keybearer handed it to Kairi, encouraging her to give it a try. "Okay," the red head said with a smile as she took the stick. She got up and stood before Zero. "Go get it boy!" she shouted as she threw the stick for Zero. The ghost dog flew after it and in no time at all returned it to Kairi. The crimsonette then picked it up and threw it again.

As she threw the stick for the sixth time Kairi heard a strange sound. She turned around, expecting Sora to scare her or something. But the brunette was looking around too. He then asked warily if she had heard that. "Yes I did," the Princess frowned, "Do you think someone is trying to scare us? Or maybe it's a Heartless?" The red head hear the hiss again. By now Zero had returned with the stick and was growling. If Zero was growling, then Kairi knew that it wasn't something good. Worried the Princess moved closer to Sora. Right after she did that the ground rumbled and the wall opposite them exploded, causing dust and ruble to fly everywhere. "Aaah!" Kairi screamed. When the dust settled the crimsonette looked up and gasped. There before her was a Heartless team. One of them was small and skinner, it's parnter large and fat. "What is that thing?!!" Kairi yelled summoning her Keyblade.

We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.~

Roxas had told her that it was no problem and when she hugged him, she felt him stiffen in surprise for a moment but then he wrapped his arms around her in return. Naminé had let her eyes close surprised at how natural it felt to be held in Roxas' arms. But at the same time, there was a large part of her that yearned for other arms to be wrapped around her. Arms that belonged to a strong, silver haired teen. Riku. But it wans't Riku who was holding her right now. But Roxas. And... and she didn't mind it at all.

Suddenly, she felt Roxas turn his head slightly and she felt his lips brush against her forehead. Her eyes slide closed once more and a blush formed on her face. She expected him to pull back and apologize like she figured he normally would, but he didn't. Naminé's eyes opened and she shifted back, still in his embrace but she tilted her head back so she could look up at him. "R-Roxas?" She stammered out his name, more of a question than anything else. There was a fluttery feeling in her stomach but she didn't act on it. She couldn't hurt Riku like that. She wouldn't. Besides, Roxas was her best friend. Naminé was working so hard on denying the truth. Denying that she did love Roxas, just like she loved Riku.

Sally smiled. Apparently, she'd said the right thing to Jack, though all she'd spoken was the truth. The rag doll gazed up at the Pumpkin King as he told her that he'd need her help as well. Surprise flit across her features, soon changing to one of shy delight. Jack wanted her to help with next year's Halloween! He wanted her to design and create the outfits for the Faery's to wear! Sally beamed up at the skeleton. Working with Jack... it'd be a perfect way for her to spend time with him. "I'd love to help, Jack. The outfits I design for the Feary will be absolutely horrifying!" She promised him. Sally was no amateur when it came to needles and thread. Seeing as how she had to constantly sew her own limbs back together, she was quite the seamtress.

The rag doll smiled softly when Jack frowned a bit at her suggesstion to start work tomorrow but he didn't tell her no. Instead he took his hand in hers and the rag doll smiled up at him. Jack instructed her to grab hold of Mildred's hand and she turned to look at the girl beside her, smiling reassuringly and holding out her hand. The girl took it and Jack asked them who they should scare, using the Transpooker. Mildred decided, pointing to a familiar figure; his spiky hair sticking up all over the place. Sally's eyes widened and she nodded. "Mildred's right, those two." She said. Really, all she wanted now was to see Sora again and the Transpooker would be the best way to cover the stretch of distance that lay between them. However, before Jack could do anything, Sally saw the ground shoot up in front of Sora and Kairi, far off in the distance and two creatures came out. Sally's eyes widened and she looked up at Jack, figuring that wasn't part of his plan as Sora was attacking the thing. "Jack! We've got to get to help Sora!" Sally said, her tone a bit frantic.
