" Well, this is a dark place..." Ventus was first to comment.
" Do you think it has anything to do with the kind of darkness that lies in people's hearts?" you questioned.
" I don't know. We're just going to have to find out." The both of you stepped forward towards a pair of large gates, leading to a town square. Once inside, you both split up in hopes to uncover some information and be able to leave sooner rather than later. Carefully, you step to the fountain in the middle of the square only to be startled by a splash of its water. Ventus quickly runs to your side to calm you down. " Hey, keep it down. We don't want to attract attention here."
" I think it's too late for that!" a voice called from the depths of the fountain. Both of you take a closer look and are immediately met with a skeleton face. You stumble backwards as the skeleton stands fully erect and jumps out of the fountain. " I've never seen the likes of you before, where are you from?" the skeleton asked in a friendly tone.
" Not really from here. Who are you?" Ventus answered.
" Why I'm Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King!"
" What's that supposed to mean?" you quietly asked.
" I'm the scariest thing you'll ever see on Halloween!"
" Halloween?" both of you repeated. For Ven's ears only, you lean closer and whisper something,
" I don't think this place has anything to do with darkness in people's hearts anymore." he nodded in agreement.
" Say, how about the two of you help me with a little project."
" What kind of project?"
" Only to make this the best Halloween ever!" Jack replied with excitement.
" Jack, you leave those poor kids alone!" a female voice called from the distance.
" Sally, I'll need your help too." Emerged from the house on a hill was a girl covered in stitches and rag clothes.
" Jack, your plans get more and more complicated each year. I think it's time to take a break."
" Nonsense! You look like a capable lad, what's your name?" Jack asked, directing his attention to the blonde.
" Ventus, but call me Ven."
" Excellent! Ven, you come with me. Your little miss can help Sally with the other thing I'll need." As soon as the orders were given, the two males walked off in another direction discussing plans. Sally smiled at you and then you introduced yourself.
" So what is Jack trying to do?"
" Each year he tries to make Halloween scarier than the last. I think this time he's gone too far."
" Why do you say that?" Sally looked away for a moment before she answered.
" He's trying to create these creatures that he will release among the world on Halloween. They're only meant to last for one day, but I've seen his experiments and I have a feeling it'll turn out much worse."
" What does he want you to do?"
" I work with the Doctor who lives in that building," she said as she pointed to the house whence she came from. " Jack wants me to take the Doctor's recipe book and help him create these creatures. But so far I've refused."
" You really care about Jack, don't you?" unsure of where that question came from, you weren't surprised to see Sally nod in agreement.
" I don't want him to end up disappointed."
" Well, I think that's what you should tell him. Tell him that going above and beyond isn't always the answer and that as the Pumpkin King, he shouldn't worry about letting down his people." Sally's face lit up at your suggestion. An idea came to mind, so the both of you came together to discuss how you were going to change Jack's plans for Halloween.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     You and Sally made your way to Moonlight Hill, where hopefully you would find Jack and Ventus. Out of nowhere, a strange creature approaches you. Your keyblade is summoned, but before you can attack, it disappears. Behind its ashes, Ven appears.
" You should get out of here, some of Jack's creatures have gone haywire!" you push Sally back as another approaches but is quickly vanquished by your keyblade.
" Ven, we'll take care of them together." He gives you a confident grin and both of you rush forward as Sally took refuge on the other side of the pumpkin.
     Not too long later, you and Ventus take a sigh of relief as the last creature lay dismantled on the ground. A smile is shared between the both of you, but was interrupted by a gasp coming from the top of the pumpkin. You look up to see Jack standing on its tip, analyzing his experiments laying in pieces all over the ground. Before either of you have a chance to say something, Sally made her way to Jack. You smile to yourself then, watching as Sally tells Jack of her true feelings. Not much is heard, but their expressions are clear as day. Jack's face softens at her words and gently takes her hand into his. Reciprocating the motion, Ventus takes your hand.
" You see that? He listens to her. I was trying to talk him out of this plan the whole night and got nothing."
" I told her to tell him the truth about how she feels, and he would change." Ven pulled you closer, getting the chance to look you right in the eyes.
" You do the same, you know that?" Unsure of what he meant, you tilt your head, silently asking for an explanation. He leans his forehead to yours and whispers. " You're kinda like my Sally. My heart only listens to you." he answered, finishing with a gentle kiss.
Oh my!!!!! I feel like an awful person. A lovely person asked for a request and it took my 4 months to come up with this when I only wrote it in about 20 minutes. Strange how inspiration works though, right?


Anyway, this is for :iconipaiflame:
I hope you'll like it!


Nothing belongs to me, all to SQ.EN. and such!
