She hated Halloween.

Well, she like the costumes and the candy and the party at preschool. But those were all over long ago. And now she was alone in her room and there were ghosts and skeletons and vampires outside. And it was scary. And she didn’t like being scared.

Her mommy and daddy didn’t understand. They loved Halloween. She could still hear them laughing downstairs. They said that this was just a phase and she would like it more next year. They didn’t believe that monsters were real, but Buffy knew better.

They were real and she hated Halloween.

She loved Halloween.

She loved the costumes and the candy and the party at Aunt Dawnie’s. She loved that she could stay up late, because Mummy and Daddy loved Halloween too and everyone had been looking forward to it All! Year! Long!!

Well, she didn’t like everything. She didn’t like all the ghosts and skeletons and scary things. But Daddy said that none of them were real and, if any of them they were, Mummy would beat them all up. And Mummy would too, because it was her job!!

It was the best holiday after Christmas and she loved Halloween

We went with six classic spooky fics by il_mio_capitano. You can find the full list here.


It's the first of November, so that should mean a new theme, but because of the holiday we decided to extend the His Favorite Things: Magic prompt until Monday. See you then!
