You opened the front door, walking inside as you struggled to carry two pumpkins. You decided that since it’s close to the day of frights and scares, that carving some pumpkins would be a fun activity for the whole family. 

You hum, you like that word. Family. It’s nice, makes you feel warm inside. Setting the pumpkins down on the dining room table you call out for Beetlejuice and Halian to join you. Halian came down the stairs, excited to know what you brought home, Beetlejuice floated inside from the backyard. He was taking care of the bugs. 

Halian blinked from the pumpkins and Beetlejuice smiled, picking up one he went to smash it and you yelled. 

“What? Not a fan of Smashing Pumpkins?” He smirked and you shake your head, grabbing the gourd you put it back on the table and turn to Halian. 

“Ever carved a jack o lantern before?” Halian shakes his head and you nod, expecting that answer. 

“Well now you will.” You poked his nose and he giggled, Beetlejuice grabbed the knives and paper towels at your request. You all sat at the table, 

“Do you know what you want your face to be?” You asked and gasped when Beetlejuice stabbed one pumpkin, 

“Fuck!” 

“Watch the language, Babes.” Beetlejuice laughed and you glared at him, taking the knife you sighed. 

“First. We have to open up the pumpkin,” You started to carve out a lid, Beetlejuice did the same and stuck his hand inside it.  

“Then, we take out the guts, like Beetlejuice.” Beetlejuice pulled out a huge chunk of guts and slapped it against the table, you sighed as you were splashed.  

“Okay, not like Beetlejuice.” You mumbled as Halian used a spoon to dig out the guts, laughing at its gross texture. 

Beetlejuice hummed, as he tapped the knife against the pumpkin, thinking of a design. 

“Now what?” Halian asked, his hands now covered in pumpkin guts, you handed him a napkin and spoke. 

“Now, we carve a face. Do you know what face you want to give this pumpkin?” Halian thought for a second, 

“I wanna do something like a scary face, can I?” You nodded, 

“Wanna draw it on there first?” Halian nods and you get up to grab a marker. Noticing that Beetlejuice and the pumpkin is gone you raise a brow. 

Heading towards the kitchen you gasp when you see Beetlejuice covered in pumpkin guts, maniacally laughing. Over his striped suit was a white coat, he wore green goggles. On the kitchen island, is a lumpy figure covered in a white sheet. 

“It’s alive!” He cackled and you yelled catching his attention. 

“What are you doing!?” You yelled and Beetlejuice stopped, raising his goggles he smirked. 

“This!” He tore the sheet off to reveal the pumpkin, carved with a stereotypical face but under it shocks you. It forms a body with green roots and vines, fingers, toes everything. Thankful except the uh..crotch thing.

You tap your foot in annoyance when the creature does not stir, only lays lifeless. 

“Oh right!” beetlejuice snaps his fingers and suddenly the inside of the jack o lantern is lit. the beast stirs and slowly rises from the counter, 

“(Y/N), what's going on?” Halian asked, holding his faceless pumpkin, the creature turns to Halian and rushes to him. Grabbing the pumpkin, the creature runs out the open back door. 

“Um..didn’t think it’d do that..” Beetlejuice says nervously and Halian whimpers, frowning at his pumpkin less hands. 

You glare at Beetlejuice, 

“Go get that thing, and the pumpkin back. Right now.” you growled and Beetlejuice whimpered, 

“On it!” He saluted and ran outside to find the pumpkin napper. You hugged the frowning Halian, saying that you’ll get the gourd back soon. 

Beetlejuice scanned the garden, 

“Here pumpkin head, c’mere.” Beetlejuice whistled and suddenly a bush moved, Beetlejuice dived into the bush only to catch a small bird. Wait he knows that bird, it’s the bird that he stole a worm from. The bird aggressively pecked at his face and Beetlejuice crawled out of the bush. 

Shaking off the dirt he huffed, crossing his arms he looked around again. 

“Shouldn’t be too hard to find a six foot tall pumpkin monster..” He grumbled and searched the garden, moving the daisies he picked up a beetle. Putting the bug in his pocket, 

“For later.” he said under his breath and continued his search, while digging in the ground he heard a whimper. Quickly he stood and shook off the dirt again, squinting towards the whimpering he sneaked closer to the voice, it was hiding behind the large rose bush. 

“Aha!” he said and his brows scrunched up when he saw the pumpkin beast, sitting down holding the pumpkin. The beast turned up to Beetlejuice and looked down in gloom. Beetlejuice frowned and sat next to the beast. 

“Lonely?” he asked and the pumpkin nodded, his vine fingers grazed the other pumpkin. 

“You want someone to talk to?” The pumpkin nodded again, 

“Wel..we can give them a face, I know that kid in there wants to.” The pumpkin looked up at Beetlejuice, then slowly it nodded and they both stood. Following Beetlejuice back inside, Beetlejuice spoke. 

“Piper says sorry.” You rose a brow, 

“Piper?” Beetlejuice nodded and sat next to you in the dining room, Piper next to him. 

“Do you want a scary face?” Halian asked and piper shook their head, 

“A happy face?” Piper nodded and Halian started to draw a happy face with a small triangle nose, 

“How's that?” Piper nodded and Halian slid the pumpkin over to you, slowly you started to carve the face. Piper wincing when from over your shoulder, Beetlejuice patted the pumpkins shoulder and pulled out the beetle from his pocket. 

“Hungry?” He asked and the pumpkin threw the beetle in its carved mouth. Beetlejuice laughed as he saw the small beetle burn. Halian walked over to Piper, and held its hand as they walked into the kitchen to finish the process. 

Beetlejuice set the pumpkin on the island, snapping his fingers, roots grew into a similar body but a bit shorter. Piper stepped to you and tugged on your shirt, 

“What’s wrong?” You asked, and Piper nodded to the lifeless pumpkin. 

“Are you afraid that they won’t like you?” Piper nodded and you smiled. 

“I’m sure they’ll love you, Pipe.” You soothed the creature, 

“Ready?” Beetlejuice asked, raising his finger that was lit. Piper nodded and Halian cheered, Beetlejuice flicked his fingers and suddenly the pumpkin was lit from the inside. 

Slowly the creature rose, looking at the small group, you smiled as Piper slowly stepped to the same species. The new pumpkin looked at Piper and suddenly pulled them in for a hug. 

An hour later the two pumpkins held root hands as they left the home, with each step they sunk into the ground until the only thing you could see was their orange heads. You laughed from the sight, 

“How romantic.” you laughed as Beetlejuice wrapped an arm around you, kissing your cheek. Halian stood next to you, 

“Does this mean we have to carve more pumpkins?” You scrunged your face, 

“What you wanna make a whole village?” Halian giggled as you poked his cheeks and sides, leading him back inside to get ready for bed. 

Beetlejuice stepped towards the pumpkins, squatting he took a deep breath and blew the fire out in each one. Standing he turned and walked, he turned his head and laughed when he saw the flame were relit.
