As important holidays approach the family, they work together with all the festive things that are happening in Sourheart. Bittersweet has his shop repaired and got much needed support from his community and his family, he wanted to keep his sister company alive.

Everyone has been exhausted after Halloween because they were rumored to give away chocolates to everyone and they've never run out of candy. Now that it is over for tonight, they must rest.

"Man... when will one day our kids replicate my sweetness until I died... I tried adding more cream and sugar... but nothing is compatible with it rather than the magic of cosmic cacao..." Milky felt tired lately because he used a lot of his energy into making sweets every year

"Oh dad, we are looking for one, but finding one to purchase is rare. Like super rare you mean" Ruby was tired too, she was exhausted from all her work along with her father. The kids also helped but they're young and still free to play around with their young lives until they're old enough not to trick-or-treat with the other kids.

"It seems like you made me a good night..." a mysterious voice echoed in the house

"Who said that?" Milky gasped

"It must've been our children, speaking of, was Whitey hitting puberty?" Ruby implied

"Look up to me my sweet grandchild..." He said it again and Ruby was shocked to hear about the voice

"Impossible. Father is entrapped in his old country" Milky got up and hear the voice close to the photo of his father

"It seemed like this generation likes to present the dead with nice offerings" a ghost of a cat yokai with mens clothing from the 1920s showed up and ate a cookie from five different chocolates, "This one is sweeter with a freshness of milk, that one has a berry flavor, the one sort of resembles my chocolate, semi-sweet. The white ones with nuts need some crunch to go with it... and the dark chocolate one is bitter than mine and the eldest great grandson. I see they like to make a store small and only expand a little... I admire this change... too bad I won't be able to grow up with my child..." He sighed

"Papa?" Milky called to him

"Son?" Choconyan looks at him

"Grandpa!" Ruby smiled

"My granddaughter!" All elder cats hugged the ghost

"This is rare! I thought we would never meet!" Milky cried

"I'm sorry I sent you and your mother away, I don't want you to be under threat... but now people are coming here to deport you all, just to be eaten... and it's all because of me..." Choconyan was sad for bringing calamity to the family

"You never bring us misfortune Papa..." Milky cried, "I cared for mom as she cared for me... and I won't let my business grow because of what I learned in the past... you gave us this magic and you made us stronger"

"I have three beautiful kittens with three different powers... they are willing to control it, not for profit, but to protect themselves. I wish you were alive, grandma missed you..." Ruby cried

"I know... Judith was a beautiful servant... and I didn't mean to bring this curse to her... we are made of chocolate... and I have a key to expand our world in order to protect us from our enemies..." He pulled out several white star doted black pods, "behold. The cosmic cacao pods. As the name implied, it makes the bestest chocolate known to those among the stars. I want you all to plant it in the mountains, Milky"

Milky gulped, "I... haven't been farming for years... my back is already breaking after kneeling down"

"Then your friends might do the farming for you, grow them under the misty humid trees and plant them in the ground secretly. Fertilize the ground, water them, it will take 16 years in order for the seeds to grow into adult trees and produce more pods... I looked so hard for 100 years to find them all and harvest them for planting" Choconyan sighed

"Why is it that you asked us to plant them?" Milky asked his father

"You said it yourself, you're fated to die soon without a successor that has your power's taste. Your oldest, Bittersweet, as I may recall... has run a shop on his own and has my inherited power of my creative style, but too extremely, I mean I see his works meant for defense and eating" Choconyan smirked, "too bad I didn't have his moxie like him and my great grandkids have. They are eager to fight with those monsters rather than run!"

"I understand your mission, but why did you came here two days after Halloween?" Ruby asked

"You mean Hallow's Eve?" said Choconyan, "It's the day of the dead! It implies to everyone outside of Mexico alone, do you think Nonfictioners invented the holiday? No, Spirit animals did, they gifted them the holiday to celebrate the dead and look how it spreads! Honoring your family from days you were not in! It is great thing really, I've been waiting for those kids to put up my photo on the altar they set up, for me to finally cross over for one night only!" He smiled as he grabbed another cookie

"Shall I make you more cookies, grandpa?" Ruby asked

"More of your father's cookies. I liked them more than mine" Choconyan smiled as they hang around

"Coming right up! You know grandpa, I attended catering classes when I was younger, and my father is impressed by my talent to bake and we came up with the store idea together as father and daughter." Ruby smiled

"Is that how you created "The Chocolatier Cats"?" Choconyan asked

"Yeah, what's your store called?" said Ruby

"Exotic Cat's Chocolates" Choconyan answered

"Sounds fascinating... to say the least" Milky watched a fall themed show and Choconyan sat and watch, "what's this box? Oh wait, one of my favorite customers has one... it's called a TV... how did it get so flat?"

"The power of science and technology!" Deetee came here all tired...

"Oh my gosh... I thought we would not complete the order..." Whitey lied in the couch

"Why does it had to be super new and full of violence..." Bittersweet groaned

"It's been doing crazy things since three months ago..." said Deetee

"Yeah, but why is it Xenoblade!" Whitey muffled

"Oh is it one one of those programs you kids watch?" Choconyan asked

"Great Gramps!" The kids hugged him

"You poor kids... all caught up in violence... but I know you three are strong enough to take down anyone! I want you to promise me that you will stay strong as you face then head on, right?" Choconyan smiled

"Right!" All kids nodded their heads

"So what's this thing about Xenoblade? Is it a thing kids are into rather than board games and "Kick the Wickey"?" Choconyan smiled

"Ugh... we're do we begin..." Whitey groaned

"Oh Great Gramps, we have a big delivery last night in Sourheart and it takes like a week in Aionios, it's a new place... Uhh it was a huge world with a war and there are monsters everywhere..." Deetee explained

"For them at least, I was in a safe zone, reminding me of my home. They were spawned in different nations with 1/3 of the delivery and we had to reunite and find the person who placed it" Bittersweet added

"And guess who made that order?" Whitey asked

"Logonyan?" Milky guessed

"Yes! Mr. Logos was here and everyone gasped because we know him. For me, I guess we are in the very past because the actual team show up... but he spared us and we saw our older selves. I have the Alrest side armor and long hair, Deetee has her hair longer in the back and wear Bionis side armor, and Bittersweet is wearing some military clothes." Whitey explained

"They pretty much like friends and they told us that they got the orders covered for now, and we have to go home instead. They did give us more than the regular amount of G, that's a bonus." Deetee smiled, "but what I admire most is how Dugan looked in his older form... I can't wait until we grow up..." She blushed and Ruby laughed, "that's enough story time for Gramps"

"I'm starting to see that animation has made new worlds for kids to explore in... I want to travel to their worlds..." Choconyan smiled

"Animation is for everyone Great Gramps, we all know this" Bittersweet played Coco with his family on the couch

"We're all together now... that's what matters Father" Milky smiled

"I hope we can do this again next year..." said Choconyan as he is happy to be meet his descendants after so many years...

Happy Belated Halloween and The Day before The Day of the Dead!

For so long I have this block and a bunch of characters I have something to make, but this new chapter leads to the future! I want to make something heartwarming since Halloween is over, and I wanna keep my spirits up for my grandpa and my dog, but I'm sure they're happy for what I'm doing now. I have a good job, appreciated, and being helpful. Not in a bad state, got a few chills, but got some allergies. Making sure I'm ready for tomorrow, but thanks for reading!

It'll be some time for me, but I'm working on a bigger chapter that will be close to the holidays, so keep that in mind.
