" I need you to unleash you inner demon! Whoever you see, excluding the girls, me, and the boys, you need to kick their shins, punch them in the face, and throw them of walls. It's gonna be amazing!" Mia let out a maniac laugh, and Morro laughed nervously.

" Yeah, that's totally do-able!" He said, weakly pumping his fist in the air.

Mia grinned. " Now, I need to go to that juice place. Their juice is actually really good."

Morro froze. " Oh, boy." He muttered.

Morro watched as Mia skipped out of the room, humming to herself and seemingly oblivious to the gravity of her plan. He sighed deeply and looked around at the scattered party decorations and the remnants of the chaotic wedding. His thoughts were interrupted by Mia's enthusiastic voice calling from the hallway.

"Morro, are you coming?"

Morro turned, his face a mix of concern and resignation. "Yeah, I'm coming. But Mia, you know that juice you're talking about... it's actually blood, right?"

Mia paused mid-stride, her brow furrowing in confusion. She turned to face Morro, her expression one of genuine surprise. "What? No way! It's either tomato juice or strawberry juice. Or maybe watermelon. They have a lot of options."

Morro shook his head slowly. "No, Mia. It's blood. The juice shop is known for its... unconventional selections."

Mia's eyes widened as realization dawned on her. "Ohhhh, right! Well, that makes sense. They do have a rather... unique vibe."

Before Morro could say anything more, Mia's face brightened with a new idea. "I also need to get you a vampire costume! I'm going to be a witch, and I'm gonna zap everyone! It's gonna be so much fun!"

Morro's expression shifted to one of pure bewilderment. "A vampire costume? Really? I thought we were just... I don't know, blending in."

Mia waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, come on, Morro. Where's your sense of adventure? This is going to be the most epic party ever!"

Morro groaned inwardly but knew there was no stopping Mia once she got an idea in her head. He took a deep breath and followed her out the door, trying to prepare himself mentally for whatever awaited them at the juice shop.

As they arrived at the shop, the atmosphere was as eerie as Morro had expected. The sign outside read "Blood & Juice Emporium," and the interior was dimly lit with gothic decor. A large selection of bottles, each labeled with ominous names, lined the shelves.

Mia approached the counter with an air of confidence. "Hi there! I need the usual, plus a vampire costume."

The shopkeeper, a gaunt figure with a sinister grin, nodded and handed her a bottle labeled "Crimson Delight." "And for the costume?"

Mia glanced around and then spotted a rack of costumes in the corner. "Oh, right. I'll take one of those too!"

She picked out a costume complete with a long, flowing cape and pointed fangs. Morro reluctantly put it in the cart, his apprehension growing with each passing moment.

As they left the shop, Mia's excitement was palpable. "This is going to be amazing, Morro! Just imagine everyone's reactions!"

Morro sighed and tried to look on the bright side. "Well, as long as we don't cause too much chaos..."

Mia cut him off with a laugh. "Chaos is the fun part! Now, let's go get ready."

Morro followed her back to the party venue, bracing himself for the night ahead. The combination of blood juice, vampire costumes, and Mia's enthusiastic plans was bound to make this an unforgettable evening—whether they were ready for it or not.

When he arrived, al the ninja ( and Mia's team) were cowering behind a pillar.

Morro sighed " What?"

" Th.... there's a g..ghost!" Jay cried out, pointing into the venue.

Mia rolled her eyes, and went in.

When she came out, she was holding a cloth, and a rouge cyclodo ball was hovering next to her.

" This is your ghost." Mia said with a smirk. " They're everywhere."

Then, she took a deep breath and lifted her hands, and brought them close to her.

Needles came from everywhere, almost hitting her friend's heads.

" Woah!" Jay yelled as he ducked, narrowly missing a needle.

" Help me fill these with red water." She said.

Morro piped up. " What about Watermelon juice? It looks like blood."

Mia nodded thoughtfully. " Yeah. That might work."

Morro sighed deeply. " Thank you." He muttered.

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! BATS!" Jay yelled, jumping to the chandelier. 

" They're fake, right?" Rose asked, looking at Mia, who was smiling.

" No."

Rose laughed, but when Mia didn't laugh, she stopped. " Wait, really?"

Mia nodded. " Yeah. They're my friends."

Kai slapped his head. " Great."

The atmosphere in the party venue was a bizarre blend of excitement and dread as Mia continued her unconventional preparations. Her team and the ninjas watched in disbelief as she orchestrated a chaotic mix of decorations and surprises.

Jay, still perched precariously on the chandelier, tried to regain his composure. "Okay, okay. Bats and needles—got it. What else is on the list?"

Rose looked nervously at Mia, who was now arranging the fake bats with a look of satisfaction. "I thought you said this was going to be fun, not a horror show."

Mia grinned widely. "Oh, it's definitely fun! Just wait until you see the rest. Morro, where's that red water?"

Morro, who had been dutifully filling the needles with watermelon juice, handed them over with a resigned look. "Here you go. And if anyone asks, this is definitely not blood."

Emma, who had finally managed to navigate the treacherous heels and join the group, eyed the scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "Mia, seriously. I appreciate the effort, but could we tone it down a little? We're not trying to scare everyone out of the venue."

Mia waved a hand dismissively. "It's all part of the fun! Trust me, everyone will love it."

______________________________

The evening had arrived, and Mia's horror house was ready for its grand unveiling. The venue had been transformed into a chilling labyrinth of frights, thanks to Mia's boundless creativity and unconventional approach. From the moment the guests walked through the entrance, they were met with an array of eerie sights and sounds designed to scare and entertain.

As the first group of guests entered, the atmosphere was thick with anticipation. They were greeted by the sight of an old, creaky door that groaned ominously as it opened. Beyond it lay a dark, fog-filled corridor, lined with flickering lanterns and eerie shadows that danced on the walls.

"Welcome to Mia's Horror House!" Mia announced with a mischievous grin, her witch costume and pointed hat casting a foreboding silhouette in the dim light. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she prepared to guide them through her creation.

Emma, Morro, and the ninja team stood off to the side, watching with a mix of pride and nervousness. Emma turned to Morro, who was now fully decked out in his vampire costume. "You ready for this?"

Morro gave a nervous chuckle, adjusting his cape. "As ready as I'll ever be."

The guests took their first tentative steps into the labyrinth. The floor beneath them felt unstable, as if it might give way at any moment. Suddenly, a hidden speaker crackled to life, emitting the sound of distant, ghostly wails. The guests jumped, their eyes wide with surprise.

"Oh, come on!" one of the guests said, trying to mask their nervous laughter. "This is pretty impressive."

As they ventured deeper into the horror house, the walls seemed to close in around them. Mia had cleverly designed a series of narrow passages with flickering lights and unsettling sound effects. At one point, a hidden trapdoor opened beneath the guests, causing them to stumble and shriek in panic—only to find themselves safely on a cushioned platform.

"Watch out for the traps!" Mia called out cheerfully, her voice echoing through the maze. "But don't worry, they're all harmless!"

The guests, though initially terrified, soon found themselves caught up in the fun. They laughed and gasped at the surprises Mia had in store. One area featured a life-sized, animatronic creature with glowing eyes that lunged at them from the shadows. Another had a fog machine that filled the room with a thick, swirling mist, making it nearly impossible to see.

At one point, Mia led the group to a room filled with fake blood splatters and hanging skeletons. She had even managed to set up a series of motion-activated props that sprang to life as the guests approached. The combination of eerie decorations and Mia's own enthusiastic performance left everyone in stitches.

"Whoa!" one guest exclaimed, dodging a swinging fake arm. "This is incredible! I've never seen a horror house like this before!"

As the night progressed, Mia's pride grew with every excited scream and every nervous laugh. She had pulled off her plan with flair, creating a horror house that was both terrifying and entertaining. The guests' initial apprehension had melted away, replaced by admiration for Mia's creativity.

"You did a fantastic job, Mia!" Emma called out, joining her at the end of the maze. "This place is amazing!"

Mia beamed with pride, her witch hat slightly askew. "Thanks, Emma! I'm so glad everyone is enjoying it."

Morro, who had been busy maintaining the atmosphere and keeping the guests in check, gave a thumbs-up. "You really outdid yourself this time, Mia. The watermelon juice was a nice touch, by the way."

"Thanks!" Mia said, grinning. "I thought it would be a fun surprise."

As the night drew to a close, the guests gathered outside, still buzzing from their experience. They shared stories of their favorite scares and marveled at the creativity that had gone into the horror house.

"This was the best horror house I've ever been to!" one guest exclaimed, their eyes sparkling with excitement. "You should definitely do this again!"

Mia grinned. " Oh, I will."

The guests waved and smiled.

And that's when Mia pressed a button, and they went down, yelling.

Mia grinned. " Told you it would be a party no one would forget!"

The unfortunate Escape room buddies groaned. " Oi, this is gonna be a long night." Jay muttered.

Look at my two brothers!

PS. One brother ( blue) is gonna be.... little.

Very little.

Anyway LOL Bye and I'll let you ponder on that
