Chapter 6: Halloween

Start from the beginning
                                    

“You're going to love the Halloween Festival.” Andy said as he drove down their street.

“I can't wait!” she said.

When they got there, they spotted the others right away. Jinxx and Sammi were dressed up as Frankenstein’s monster and the bride of Frankenstein, CC and Kelly were fallen angels, Ashley and Lizzie were Chucky and the bride of Chucky, and Jake and Rachel were zombie versions of Superman and Supergirl.

Sammi took one look at Andy and Carolyn and said, “Sweeney Todd and Ms. Lovett? Genius,”

“Anyway, we can't get to everything in one night if we all stick together, so why don't we split up?” Jake suggested. And just like that, Andy and Carolyn were left alone.

Andy held his hand out for her. She took it less shyly than she did when they first met.

The first thing they did was go to the big roller coaster. Andy and Carolyn got in and it rode off. It only took seconds for them to feel both nauseous and thrilled.

“WOO!” they yelled as the roller coaster did a loop.

“This is aaaaaaaaaawesome!” Carolyn said. Being on the roller coaster made her words come out a bit stretched.

“The rides here get better and betterrrrrrr! Andy exclaimed.

After the roller coaster, they went into the Haunted House.

When they entered, the floor boards creaked under them. Carolyn gasped and grabbed Andy's hand.

“Don't worry. I'm here.” he said and put his arm around her.

Three was barely any light in there so they didn't really see where they were going. So they definitely didn't expect to run into a giant, sticky spiderweb.

“Gross it’s all sticky.” Carolyn said.

“It reminds me of the time I got Skippy Peanut Butter in my hair.” Andy said and tried to remove the fake spider webs from his clothes.

They walked through some more in silence. They took careful steps, but they weren't careful enough. A trap door opened up underneath them and they fell.

They thought they were going to land on hard cement, but were relieved when they landed in a haystack. At least it was less painful than cement.

“Are you okay?” Andy asked Carolyn.

“Yeah.” she spit out some hay. “Just some hay in my hair. And in yours.” she took a bit of hay out of his hair and he did the same to her. Then they stood back up and kept walking. They passed more things that scared them a little, but most of this stuff would only scare little kids. Then they heard a little shuffle.

“What was that?” Carolyn asked and clung to Andy.

“Maybe we're just hearing things.” Andy said.

Then out of nowhere, a guy with a crazed look on his face came out with a chainsaw and ran to them. As he ran, strobe lights turned on and off.

Carolyn hid behind Andy. Instead of running, Andy just waiting until the chainsaw guy reached them. When the guy realized they weren't running in fear, he stopped running when he was two feet away from them.

“Hey.” Andy said casually.

“Uh... hi.” chainsaw guy said.

“You expected us to run in fear?” Andy asked.

“Pretty much.” the guy answered.

“Yeah... well. We're just gonna go.” Andy said and took hold of Carolyn's hand. When they were out of the Haunted House, they burst out laughing.
