I woke up early the next morning so I rubbed my eyes walking downstairs and into the kitchen almost tripping over the bucket of water from last night. I composed myself before pulling out all the stuff I needed to make breakfast. I was almost done with the bacon when I finally heard some footsteps make their way down stairs.

"I'm soooo hungry!" Mini groaned as he slumped at the table rubbing his eyes.

"Oh no, you don't get any food until you get everyone up." I ordered and he let out an annoyed groan before walking back out.

"Everybody up I'm starving you pricks!" He shouted and I looked up at the ceiling as I heard a loud thump indicating someone fell out of bed.

Everyone came downstairs minutes later including Nolga who was rubbing his forehead.

"Delirious can we eat now I'm hungry too." Lui whined in his squeaker voice.

I nodded smiling as I passed out everyone's plates stacked with bacon, puncakes and eggs.

"We should go to the mall and find something fun to do." Brian offered and a few others agreed.

"We could have another water war!" Brock said dipping his fingers into his glass of water and flicking it across the table.

"Oh it's on!" Marcel replied grabbing his glass and attempted to dump it on Brock in return but I held my hands out.

"Oh no! There is no way your starting another water war unless you two are going to clean it all up." I crossed my arms and stared at them sternly.

"Okay mom we will." Brock mocked before once again flicking water across the table targeting Marcel specifically this time.

"Guys come on don't do this it's too early." Evan pouted sleepily.

"Why, are you tired Evan?" Brian smirked taking his finished plate to the sink.

"Alright, everyone shut up finish your food and get dressed we're leaving!" Tyler concluded as he took his and Mini's empty plates to the sink, thankfully stopping the attempted war.

"Yay! Can we get some cheerios!?" Lui asked in his squeaker voice peeking back into the kitchen as him and David got up to walk upstairs.

"Yes Lui we can go get your Cheerios." Marcel chuckled before following them out.

Staying behind I finished cleaning the rest of the dishes and wiped down the table before jogging upstairs only to get smacked in the face with a pillow.

"Wallop!" I looked at David unamused before tossing the pillow back, which he ducked and the pillow hit Evan instead.

"Uh oh." My eyes widened and he smiled evilly before picking up the pillow.

"Uh oh is right Delirious." I ran as fast as I could closing my bedroom door behind me and trying to lock it but failed as it pushed forward.

"I'm sorry!" I laughed shoving it closed and sitting against the door as he tried to push it open the door slightly pushing forward with his force.

"You're gonna be when I beat you down with this pillow!" He laughed pushing harder on the door.

"I got to get dressed Evan." He managed to push the door far enough that he wedge himself between the door and I screamed jumping on my bed and hiding under the covers.

"Gotcha!" I couldn't help but laugh at I felt the soft blows of a pillow hit me over and over again.

"Okay I give up!" He blurted after a few minutes and plopped backwards onto the bed in front of me.

I pulled the blanket down and pulled the pillow behind me smacking him across the stomach and he laughed pulling the pillow away and tossing it over his head and off the bed before hopping up.

"Alright get dressed before the guys break something." As if on cue we heard a crash downstairs.

"Brian!" Mini yelled in anger at whatever was broken.

"It was Tyler's fault!" He argued and Evan and I looked at each other before laughing.

I quickly slipped on some clothes and walked downstairs to see our once whole coffee table missing two legs.

"I don't want to know." I rolled my eyes as we all walked outside and split up into groups to drive.

"I swear it was Tyler's fault he threw the remote at me so I tripped walking backwards." Brian explained to Mini who was chuckling at how easy it was to anger him.

"It sounds like it was your fault for tripping." Marcel replied and Brian crossed his arms.

"You know what I blame gravity it's had it out for me since day one." He mumbled and we all laughed causing him to pout more.

We pulled into the parking lot both Tyler and Evan following in cars behind us. Tyler traveled with Nogla and Lui while Evan traveled with Brock.

"Alright get out kids!" I joked referring to Brock's comment earlier during breakfast.

The second we entered the mall Lui screamed tag as he smack Nogla's shoulder and everyone took off in different directions.

"Awe man why me!?" He yelled before chasing after Brock and Marcel who ran towards the food court.

I took the escalator up to the second floor and hid in the least likely place any one would check; an old store that was full of Halloween costumes. It was perfect it's nowhere near Halloween. I hid behind a rack of costumes and froze as I heard footsteps run near the entrance, I flinched as someone touched my arm and spun around to see Lui.

"Damn it Lui you scared the hell out of me!" I laughed and he shushed me pointing towards Brock who was looking around across the way.

We walked further into the back and browsed down separate isles, I admired all the Halloween masks that switched from werewolves to clowns to ugly president masks ending with those really weird clear masks with makeup painted on them. Pulling a mask off the shelf I turned the corner only to be met by an older woman who was dressed like a fortune teller.

"Sorry." I apologized because I almost knocked her over in my rush.

"That's quiet alright dear; would you like a free reading?" She asked as Lui walked up to us as he turned around the corner.

"Brian's it and he's on his way here." He warned and I looked back at the lady.

"Thank you but we have to go." She smiled but then frowned before touching my arm which caused me to stop and look back at her for an explanation.

"It would be wise to stay inside tomorrow, both of you." She sounded more sincere than threatening but I nodded quickly; showing Lui the monkey mask before we placed it back on the shelf and maneuvered out of the store taking off away from Brian who didn't notice us.

"What do you think she meant by staying inside tomorrow?" Lui asked and I shrugged.

"She works in a Halloween store; they're supposed to give you bad fortunes." I replied and we both laughed at our overly cliché warning.

"There you are!" Brian's voice shouted from behind us and we both split up, I headed for the elevator as Lui bolted for the stairs.

"Come back here Delirious!" I ducked into the elevator and pressed the close door button about a hundred times before they finally closed just as he got there.

I laughed as I heard him cussing before the elevator moved and I stepped out back on the first floor. I looked around for a place to blend in and I spotted the fountain where a bunch of people were sitting along the edge. I paused for a second before removing my mask, they can't find me if they don't know what I look like. Surprisingly it worked pretty well almost everyone had ran passed me not looking twice before my cellphone went off. It was a message from Marcel saying they give up and Evan lost being the last one it and they were ready to head home. I slipped my mask back on and just as I stood Evan came around the corner.

"Marcel it worked I found him!" He shouted before he ran towards me I backed up and attempted to run but I tripped over my own feet.

Evan grabbed for my hand but I only pulled him down with me, he started laughing as we emerged.

"Way to go Delirious!" Lui shouted as the rest of the guys grouped back up and helped fish us out of the fountain.

"Yeah I took out the evil Vanoss meaning I won!" I blurted and the guys laughed until our fun was cut off by a mall cop heading our way.

"Uh oh run!" We all headed for the exit and split back up into different cars, me and Evan being stuck in the back of Tyler's car because no one else wanted us to drive being soaked.

"Where were you the entire time, we didn't see you at all?" Tyler asked and I couldn't help but smile lightly.

"That's because you weren't looking close enough." I replied and he scoffed.

"So you were cheating?" He asked glancing back in the rearview mirror.

"Maybe." I laughed and Evan bumped shoulders with me which I returned.

"You DID cheat!" He blurted as we pulled into the driveway and followed Tyler before he stopped us at the door.

"Oh no the inside of the house has been wet enough you two can sit out here and wait until I get you both towels." Tyler nagged before walking inside.

We sat out on the porch pouting as the rest of the guys made it back. Lui jumped out from the passenger seat of Nogla's car and ran up the steps.

"Guy's there's a small fair going on a little bit a ways from here! Mini said maybe we could go if everyone agrees!" Lui shouted in his kid voice as a towel was tossed onto mine and Evan's head from the doorway.

"Seems like a good idea any votes against it?" Marcel asked looking around and it was concluded when no one raised their hand or said anything.

"So it's set now who wants to play some Gmod?" Brian asked and we all agreed walking in to start up a game of sandbox of course after Evan and I changed into some dry clothes.

We spent the rest of the day playing games and joking around; I couldn't fully shake what that woman at the Halloween store had said. I know that it was all fake, but I still couldn't shake that sinking feeling.
