"You excited for tomorrow?"

Blake gave Ruby a quizzical look. "What's tomorrow?"

"Halloween…?" Blake knows about Halloween, she has to, how does someone not know about Halloween? It's like the greatest holiday ever! After Dustmas.

It took a moment before recognition showed on Blake's face. "Oh, the one about scary stuff?" Ruby nodded enthusiastically as Blake continued to give her a curious look. "Why would I be excited about it?"

It was inconceivable, INCONCEIVALBE, to not be excited about Halloween to Ruby. "B-b-b-because trick-or-treating and costumes and-and-and… FREE CANDY!" Ruby blurted out.

Blake stared back at Ruby, uncomprehending.

Did I say something wrong? Yet as Blake continued to stare at Ruby it occurred to her that maybe, just maybe, Blake might have never celebrated the holiday before. It dawned on Ruby. "You've gone trick-or-treating before, right?"

Blake shook her head, her amber eyes still puzzled. She's never celebrated Halloween before? "Should I of…?" This had to change.

Ruby slowly nodded her head. "Everyone does it… that's what we're going to do tomorrow, you're coming with us I thought. Unless you don't wanna…"

"Sure, I don't mind…?"

Ruby favoured Blake with a grin before cupping her hands around her mouth. "YANG!"

A few seconds later of feet padding along the floor and Yang's head leaned through the door way. "What's up sis?"

"We need to get Blake a costume!"

A mischievous smirk appeared on Yang's face.

"Are you sure this is… wise?"

"Yup~!" Ruby stated as she put on her costume. It was looked simple enough to Blake; the teen was wearing a witch costume. It was perhaps one of the more stereotypical witch interpretations that Blake had heard of; a black outfit with a cape –eerily similar to the normal red one she wore- a pointed black hat with a large rim, and even pointy shoes. The image was complete with a massive broomstick. Although that's a bit oddly shaped for a broo- Wait.

"Is that," Blake pointed at the prop, "Crescent Rose?" It couldn't be…

"Yup!" Ruby brought it in front of her before taking off a fake wood cover that was velcro'd on, then pulling the straw bit off the end.

It was Crescent Rose.

Blake had a single thought on her mind which she voiced.

"Why?"

Ruby frowned. "Everyone's going in costume, why not Crescent Rose?" As Blake question the absurdity of it, Ruby put the fake wood finish and straw back on the High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe. "You should get into costume too!" Ruby's eyes were brimming with excitement. "We're gonna be going pretty soon!"

Skipping out of the room to go check on Yang's progress, Blake turned to her costume.

The three of them had gone out shopping last night for a costume. It took a while to find a costume that Blake liked – not a 'sexy-maid' or the like – or one that fit her. Yet as she stared at her choice, a single thought crept into her mind.

I'm going to look silly.

Ruby was ready to go.

Costume? Ruby could feel the weight of it on her. Check!

Zwei's costume? The corgi had a black cape, and a black masquerade mask covering his eyes. Check!

Yang's costume? Her sister had finally emerged from her room in costume; a black vest, black gloves, shorts and a short duster. I still don't think it looks all that different from what she usually wears, but whatever, check!

All that left was Blake. "You ready yet?"

Instead of answering, the door open, the teen walking out to join them.

"Are you sure that this is what people do?" Blake looked at the collection of costumes, a upraised eyebrow. "I don't think our costumes match very well either…" It wasn't disapproval in her voice, rather it was concern.

Before Ruby could even answer, Yang jumped in; "Yeah, of course we have a theme going! We're the witch," Yang gestured to Ruby, "the superhero," Zwei, who happily wagged his short tail as everyone glanced at him, "the boxer," Yang pointed at herself, "and the ladybug!" Yang finished by gesturing at Blake. "We're all wearing black!"

Blake raised a finger in protest, her mouth opening but the words dying in her mouth. There was still doubt in Blake's mind, Ruby could clearly see that; it looks like I'll have to show her how awesome Halloween is!

Grabbing Blake's hand, Ruby zoomed out of the house, the Faunus trying her best to keep up.

"Onward! TO CANDY!"

Yang smiled at the two. Blake is going to have an interesting first time trick-or-treating I bet. Giving a small chuckle, Yang looked down at Zwei.

"I guess it's just you and me tonight buddy."

AU: I posted something! Yay! Also two parter!

As for costumes:

Ruby is just a witch because it's a classic

Yang is going as Tifa because hahaha remember that Death Battle? :P

Zwei is Batman… dog. You get it.

Blake is a ladybug.

Crescent Rose is a witch's broom. Honestly can you imagine Ruby NOT giving Crescent Rose a costume?

Thanks for the reviews last time guys and girls! I'm was surprised at the fact that people actually didn't mind the fact I decided to go with "no-drama-llama big sister stuff". I mean it's a little drama-y but still. So that was pleasantly surprising!

*Unrelated note: I'll try and respond to reviews more often! I still need to finish responding to all of Acceptance tho O_O

OKAY SO, Real life has been super busy and I'm really sorry for not posting more as of late, especially with Spoon Equality (for those who read it!). I'm still planning on Acceptance to have a new chapter this Friday as well as Dilation… aaaaand maybe Spoon Equality if I have some extra time on hand!

If you are wondering why this is posting after Halloween it's because I need to finish reading a bazillion books and I worked yesterday and I probably should be writing a paper right now hahahaha haha ha haaa... *sheepishly rubs back of neck* Okay I should do that now.

As always, thanks for reading and have a great day! I look forward to seeing y'all on Friday for my story updates! :D
