Work Text:
• It was Halloween night in the spooky town of Endsville as you went door-to-door collecting treats in your plastic pumpkin bucket. When you rang the doorbell of the last house you were visiting for the night, the being who opened it surprised you greatly. It was a man who had a pumpkin for a head. The man appeared to be quite annoyed seeing you on his porch as he tapped his foot.
• You brightly beamed out the words, "trick-or-treat!" as you happily held up your bucket for him to drop candy inside. The pumpkin, befuddled, looked at your bag before bringing his gaze up to you, a sly smirking curling on his carved lips. He politely requests that you wait as he has a special "treat" for you. Elated, you nod, and he goes inside before returning to the door with a skunk in his hand. Tossing the animal into your plastic pumpkin, wicked laughter escapes him. The door is then promptly shut in your face. He could still be heard laughing inside.
• Such rudeness upset you to no end, so you decide to hatch up a craftly plan to 'return the favor' to the jack-o'-lantern jerk. The next day, you walked up to the pumpkin’s door and rang his doorbell. When he opened it, you immediately surprised him with a thank you card. The offer confused him, but he took the card and slowly opened it. Somehow, a pie flying with full force out of the card, hits him square in the face.
• It's impossible for you not to point and laugh.
• The pumpkin continues to stand there, a stunned expression still visable on his face. He blinks. His shock soon shifts to anger as his orange face begins to glow red with rage. He then lets out a chuckle followed by another, and before you know it, the pumpkin man is cracking up alongside with you, a twisted smile soon spreading on his face.
• THIS MEANT WAR, and not just any war, A PRANK WAR.
• The pranking between you two ultimately transforms into a platonic friendship.
• You both go around Endsville pranking the snot out of the stupid citizens.
• You soon learn that the jack-o'-lantern's name is Jack. Fitting name, you thought.
• Every night on Halloween, you and Jack work together to take down the Grim Reaper and snatch his sycthe out of his boney paws. After all, you both wanted Halloween to last forever.
