Halloween Spooktacular Special

"Trick or treat!" Kids shout as they go from house to house. I walked out of a grocery store with bags full of snacks for our scary movie night. I'm super excited to show my Halloween costume to everyone.

(This is just the costume I decided on, but you can picture one you'd like instead)

I find a manhole, open it, and jump down. Finally reaching the lair before my hands give out from the weight of the bags.

"Yay, Y/N is here!" April exclaims as she approaches me in her witch costume

"Well, it's about time. Did you get lost in the store?" Leo says smugly as he's dressed as a basketball player.

"No, I didn't, but I guess you don't want the snack. I searched high and low for," I say while holding it in my hand and wagging it from side to side.

"Have I ever told you you're the best?" Leo says, changing his tune a bit as I give him the bag of snacks.

"Not lately no," I retort

"Movies have been picked and ready to go!" Mikey shouts from the kitchen, the smell of cookies fills the air, and my mouth waters. Mikey is dressed in the hippo disguise costume.

I walk over to the kitchen to grab a cookie, Mikey tries to swat my hand away, but I dodge out of the way and make my escape with a cookie in hand.

"Projector room is ready for the ultimate scary movie experience thanks to moi," Donnie says while typing away on his wrist communicator. I look Donnie up and down as I see him dressed in an evil scientist costume.

"Wow, you dressed up. I had to fight tooth and nail for you to finally agree." I sat while folding my arms

"More like you bombarded me with texts, emails, and codes all through this month about me wearing one. Ugh, sigh. " A small smile graces his lips, and I giggle.

"Intetesting costume choice Y/N, very Aqua like," He says as he eyes me from the corner of his eye. Before I can say anything, Raph comes out shouting in a pirate costume.

"Let's get this thing started, yer mateys!"

"But first, since you four haven't gone trick or treating or seen a haunted house before. April and I decided to give you the full experience. So let's go to the surface onward!" I say excitedly as I rush towards the lair entrance, making swooshing flying noises.

The guys shrug their shoulders and follow me.

"Bring back lots of candy," Splinter says from his room

We all climb out of a manhole and walk out of an alleyway. I pull up the route on my phone that's best and leads us to the haunted house.

"According to my calculations, this will be a better route instead. As I collected data on the best houses to get full-sized candy bars and avoid all fun-size candy and..." He shivers a bit repulsed "Toothbrushes" he finishes

"Aw, Donald, that took away all the fun, besides Ms. Thomas means well when she gives those out." I roll my eyes but ultimately agree to his route.

Pulling out pillowcases in everyone's color, I hand them out to everyone.

"Alright, let's make this interesting the person that gets the most candy in an hour gets to sit in the comfy bean bag during all the movies," I say while chuckling evilly

"Ohohoho, you're on," Leo says, accepting the challenge

Everyone takes off separately and starts to trick or treat. I deviate a bit from the route to go to the house that gives a ton of candy if you do tricks.

I can see everyone having a good time and spot Mikey getting a bowl full of candy from an old lady. My jaw drops, but it doesn't discourage me as I continue my candy hunt. Donnie and I ended up at the same house at the same time, we looked at each other, then the door, back at each other, then the door, and I took off running. He activates his battle shell to fly over, and one of his mechanical hands reaches out to ring the doorbell before I can reach it. I try to push him away, but the door opens, and I put on my best smile.

"Trick or treat." I chant

"What a lovely costume, here you go,"

"Thank you,"

Looking down, I see the toothbrush and toothpaste fall into my pillowcase. A smug look appears on my face as I see Donnie try to hold back a disgruntled face. I skip away and continue trick or treating.

Soon, the hour is up, and we make our way to the haunted house.

"OK guys, we will count our bounty when we get back to the lair. Now let's get our scare on."

Looking at the house up close, I start to shake from fear a bit, and I swallow hard.

"Is little Aqua scared? You're shivering harder than Raph. He says while pointing at his big bro.Poor Raph looked terrified

"It's ok, you can hold my hand," Leo says as he extends his hand out to me

"Pfft in your dreams, Romeo." I smack his hand away playfully, and we make our way inside.

It's so dark, a fog thick layer of fog floats on the ground. I'm trying my best not to seem scared, but I stick close to the gang. I hear a chain saw start up, Raph and I slowly look behind us, and out from the darkness comes someone with a creepy mask and chainsaw in hand. Raph screams and takes off, running into the nearby corridor, leaving us behind. I clutch onto someone's arms tightly and hide my face in the person's shoulder.

"Man, you got a tight grip"

I blush a bright red and jump almost 10 feet up in the air when I realize I am holding onto Donnie. He sighs and is looking away from me.

"If you need someone to hold onto, I won't mind being that person... because I can't have you be scared of things that aren't real..." He quickly says

I smile a little and hold onto his arm as we walk through the haunted house. April, Leo, and Mikey walk ahead to give us "alone time." Everything I get scared Donnie is there to comfort me in his way by info dumping about how the dark tricks the mind into believing in stuff that isn't there, how being scared triggers the fight or flight response and so on. It does help me feel less scared until I hear Raphs screams and we rush to see what's up.

Raph is running from a three headed dog like creature. We all scream and start running, April and I go one way, Donnie and Mikey go another,  Raph and Leo go a different way. April and I try to catch our breath but i hear heavy breathing and feel hot breath on my neck, I grab her hand and start running again.

Donnie and Mikey are screaming as a person in a demon costumes cha see es them. Donnie tries to come up with an explanation as to how it can be this scary.

Raph is running while scared crying and Leo is running not far behind Jim as someone in a doll costume is chasing them.

"I gotta admit they did a great job with the affects and paper mache" Donnie says while running

"You and I both know that, that thing is real" I shout

"I will not admit anything"

Raph opens a door and we all fall through it. Quickly getting up and us all pushing the door as hard as we can to close it. The monster gives up and we all slide to the ground to catch our breathes. Soon Leo start laughing, then Mikey, April, Raph and we all start laughing.

"Let's go home you bunch of scardy cats" Leo says while getting up

"I seem to recall that you were screaming the loudest" I punch his shoulder gently

"You were definitely hearing things Aqua" Leo chuckles awkwardly

"No, no dear brother I believe she was right. Remember I record everything. Wanna hear a replay" Donnie says

"No!" leo clears his throat and blushes "No I think we're good on that one.

We make our way back to the lair, dump out all our candy that survived our run for our lives. Donnie and I tie, grabbing my candy I run to the bean bag and jump onto it taking up the whole seat.

"Aqua, move over. We both won fair and square" Donnie says

"And if I don't" I say playfully

Donnie hits me with a pillow and whole I'm distracted his sits next to me. The bean bag was big enough that we weren't close together but close at the same time. Mikey pops in a movie and passes a big bowl of buttery popcorn.

"I bet Leo is gonna get scared again" I say while looking at Leo

"Hardy har har" Leo says sarcastically

The movie starts and April and I shout

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN "
