Halloween
This was supposed to be one of the creepiest nights of the year. Wolves howling, glowings pumpkins, fear, vampires...children playing dress-up and running from house to house.
Yes, indeed. A fearful night.
Of course the Caraway children were full of anticipation and had worked on their costumes for quite a long time. The teens of the household including Nobu hadn't been interested or at least they had mentioned this several times. Lena was sure they would enjoy the game, but were just too stuck in their teenage rebellion.
Tyyne being the only girl had been most obsessed with her costume. Her mother had helped her a lot to find the right pieces of cloth and she had even allowed her chaplet of daisies to wilt. She wanted to be a ghost, a pretty and sad one, like she saw in a movie. Not one of these normal sheets with holes.
Lena had combed her hair and arranged a nice ponytail, because Ty was sure that women weren't allowed to let their hair flow in older times. She saw that on TV for sure.
Gaspar and Carlos were completely sure what they'd like to be as well. They were still very interested in the pirates idea and so they both got a small wooden sword, a black patch and a nice headscarf. Soon they were running around the house trying to roll every R as much as possible.
Devotion and his fairy weren't quite sure what they wanted to be and just watched the others. All of them had soo pretty costumes, why should they bother to join in ? Watching was much better the young anima decided. But anyhow the others were bothering him to get a costume and because Ty told him to pick something white and Carlos said he should be a helpful person whereas Gaspar wanted him to earn money, the anima decided to go as a doctor to please everyone.
As the sun decided to go to bed the kids were dressed-up and ready for their game. Lena had been worried about letting them go alone first, but Tyyne was a very responsible person and all of them were so happy as they allowed them to go on their own. Had to be some kind of adventure for them !

"No take my sveeet." Devotion growled as he looked at Gaspar's hand, who had dug into the anima's bag. "Mine." The greedy Thule announced. What did the colorful one need sweets for anyway ?
"Take this." Carlos added and dropped some of his newly gathered possessions into the little treasure Gaspar was holding.
"Trick or Treat !" All of them chorused as the door in front of them was opened and a beautiful young lady smiled at them. "Aww, you have wonderful costumes." She clapped her hands in a very well studied act and cocked her head to one side to appear as nice as possible. "Good evening, Miss." Tyyne said and bowed her head a bit, whereas Gaspar growled. "Give. NOW !"
Tyyne sighed and shook her head as the tiny fairy hit the Thule's head with one of her small fists. "Arrr..." Gaspar tried to poke her with one of his horns, but luckily without success. "Pirates share. Take some more of mine." Carlos smiled gladly and offered some caramel sweets in orange paper to his brother, who happily accepted the gift.
The lady looked like she was about to shut the door again as the handsome anima stepped towards the woman and announced in a cheerful voice. "Petty !"
"What a little sweetheart you are." The woman chirped and now finally put the sweets into the small treasures, bags and pots.

Just a few hours later four very exhausted kids arrived back home, greeted by a very exhausted mother and three very exhausted teenagers, who had been troubled by ringing children demanding sweets.
"How did it go ?" Lena asked as all of them entered the living room. Tyyne was calm as usual and was still in awe about her nice custome. Devotion was happy about his success and that he was able to get to know so many people. Perhaps he should really become a doctor later and give medicine to them and make them happy. Gaspar's treasure was overloaded and everytime he made a step he lost a few sweets, which were quickly collected again and put on top of the sugary hill.
Carlos only possessed two sweets, but he seemed quite content as well.
"It was great !" Tyyne smiled and the others nodded before almost falling asleep on the couch immediately.
