Halloween Dream

Mira Nicholas-Archer  *Ripping open a mini-pack of Halloween candy, I pull a gummy-licious piece of fruity candy out of the wrapping and pop it into my mouth. Kellan enters our quarters, looks at the small pile of candy wrappings next to me and starts shaking his head.* What? I can’t help it, I’m addicted! *As I open another package, I hear his faint laughter as he enters the shower. Turning my head to grab another piece, I spot the orange pumpkin bucket, now used for decoration, that Rennie gave me so many years ago. It was never big enough to fit all of the candy I would receive going door-to-door in the compound, and the memory of Nathan and Kellan following me around with pillow cases makes me laugh out loud. Sobering up, I lay back on the chaise lounge and let the memories of Halloween past begin to churn in my head...*

Mira Nicholas-Archer ~dream~ *Waiting in the living room with all the little kids* Okay guys, Kellan and Nathan will be here any minute and we can go trick-or-treating!! *at once, all of the kids start cheering* Yay!!! Aren't you guys excited! *As they all dance around me, I notice both Kellan and Nathan coming into the room WITHOUT COSTUMES!* I knew you guys would chicken out. *digging into my pocket* Don't worry though, I brought you one! *handing them both Harry Potter glasses and wands.* And you better but them on you buttheads!

Kellan Archer *dragging my feet as Nathan and I walk down to meet Mira and the brats, shaking my head I mumble under breath* Why do we have to do this again? *with a shrug Nathan looks over at me* <I have no idea, but you know Mouse if we don't do it she will just go crying to Niko and Renata and you know what will happen then> *nodding as we enter the living room and see the little brats jumping up and down yelling about going trick or treating*

Dare Thorne *jumping up and down with excitement.* Mira, are we ready to go yet? I wanna get some treats. If they don't give me any, can we pull a trick? I wanna go to Mommy and Daddy's room first! *dragging the littler ones along* Aric and Carys, hurry up! *running down the hall to Mommy and Daddy's room* Trick or Treat!!!

Gabrielle M. Thorne *Hearing the taps of little hands I hurry over to the door and open it* Oh my, look at all the little trick or treaters...Placing tricks in all their bags I laugh as they go to the next door..

Micah Breed *Jogging along next to Dare* Hey, look what I got! *pulling out the long tube Auntie Gabrielle gave him* The picture says you put your fingers in it. *Putting his finger in one end, holding the other towards Dare* Do it. *Laughing as Dare does the same, then asks "Now what?"* I don't know. *trying to pull his finger back out* Wait, stop pulling, my finger is stuck.... MIRAAAAA

Alexandra Maguire *Hearing the sound of soft tapping at the door, she gets up to open it* Well, well look at what we have here *she laughs* Oh, my you all look so scary *Taking several hand fulls of candy, she drops it into their Halloween bags* There you go, have fun Trick or treat

Connor MacConn *Shaking my bag to Mira with excitement.* LOOK MIRA! We all are getting lots of cool stuff! Let's go to Da and Mums room now! *Running ahead we all bang on their door at once hearing footsteps mum opens the door and smiles. <Wow! look at all you guys dressed up *Placing goodies in everyone's bags I smile.* Have fun little ones!> Cool! Hurrying down the hall to the next room.*

Carys Chase *Following the bigger kids down the hall after getting some treats from other mommy's. I look into my bag and everything I don't like I put into Aric Chases.
We get to our parents door and me and Aric knock. I squeal when daddy answers and growls and gives us all toys.* Thank you daddy...* Runs to catch up with the others*

Jenna Darrow *hearing all the voices and several little knocks at the door at once, I smile, opening to see all the kids standing there* Well don't you all look great! *laughing, I give them each handfuls of candy and stand with Brock as we watch them run down the hall*

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Feeling just as excited as the other kids about all the treats and tricks we have received. I empty another bucket of candy into the pillow case that Kellan is carrying for me* Thanks Kellan! You make a good guarder of the candy! *grinning at both Kellan and Nathan, I turn back to the kids, two of which are freaking out about their fingers being stuck in a Chinese finger trap* It's okay guys, all you have to do is relax and push your fingers together slowly. *Making sure they figure it out before I turn my attention elsewhere* Lets go to Aunt Savannah and Uncle Giddy next!

Kellan Archer *standing off to the side watching as Mira places more candy in the pillow case, I nod as she smiles at me, moving down the hall to the next door I lean on the wall with Nathan as the kids knock on Gideon and Savannah's door. Hearing footsteps we wait as the door opens and Savy calls Gideon to the door to see the kids* [Babe bring the candy and toys for the kids] *they hand out the stuff and we make our way down to Dante and Tess' door where Rafe starts banging and yelling* (Trick or treat mommy) God when will this be over...

Dare Thorne "frowning and trying hard to be a big boy and not cry, I hold Micah still and try to push our fingers together. A tear runs down my cheek, and then - POP! Our fingers are loose.* Here, Micah. You keep this nasty thing! C'mon, let's go to Auntie Dylan's and Uncle Rio's! *Knocking on the door, and calling out* Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give us something good to eat!!! Auntie Dylan always has the bestest stuff!

 

Micah Breed *sniffing and wiping his nose and eyes on his Power Ranger suit, he shakes the finger trap of his hand and runs to join the rest of the gang. After getting super cool race cars from AuntieDylan and Uncle Rio, he turns excitedly to the rest of the group* Hurry guys, we can go to Mom and Papa T next *racing Dare and Aric down the hall and slamming into the door, he hops from foot to foot with excitement to see his parents. When the door opens, everyone yells "Trick or treat aunt Elise and Uncle Tegan" and moves to the door to collect their treats. Once his mom drops his treat in his bag, she quickly kisses his cheek and he laughs as the group moves on to the next door for treats*

Carys Chase Here, Micah. *I hand him one of the toy cars I got in my bag before we take off for Uncle Hunter GenOne and Auntie Corinne Bishop's door. The boys beat me there and as soon as the door opens I push through them to get a treat. Beaming when Auntie Corrine says we are all so cute.*

Mira Nicholas-Archer One more door guys! It's going to be the best door yet, my mom has some really awesome stuff to give out to everyone! *I start giggling as they all start jumping up and down in place* How about we all race to their door? *I elbow Kellan in the chest when he starts groaning* Ready? Set? GO!! *With the exception of Kellan and Nathan, we all run as fast as we can to Rennie and Niko's room...where they both meet us with arm fulls of toy guns and knives.* See, I told you those were awesome!!!

Kellan Archer *heading back to our room wondering why Mira had not met me at the bon fire, I feel a spike in my veins as I get closer to our room. Knowing she is ok but very excited I move a bit faster wanted to know what is up with her, opening the door I look in to see her asleep on the couch with a smile on her face. Moving over to her I bend down and kiss her gently until her eyes start to flutter* Babe are you ok?

Mira Nicholas-Archer *Startled, I gasp* Oh! I... *looking around* I was just having the strangest dream! I was 13 and all of us were trick-or-treating in the compound as kids! *laughing a little at the memory* It was just like the past...you forgot your costume and I gave you a Harry Potter wand and glasses to carry! *I laugh, as he carries me to the bed and climbs in beside me* You were so mad. *snuggling up against him* All the kids were so cute, I miss them being so young... *drifting off to sleep*
