Halloween Party
It was Halloween Night at the ZPD Department, where Chief Bogo, with the pestering of Clawhauser, hosted the first ever Halloween Party. The department was decorated with bright colored pumpkins and assortments of Squashes. With paper cutouts of ghosts and bats hanged on the walls with candy bowls and chocolate covered vegetables on every table. Eerie music played in the background as Judy bobbed for apples against her polar bear opponent. It was obvious of who was winning as Judy spat apples to the side in a large pile. With a bigger jaw, Nick thought the polar bear would have won easy. He should know better than to doubt Judy's determination. Nick watched in amusement as he recorded the intense competition as there fellow officers watched Judy in awe as the polar bear struggled to keep up.
"You can take a breath now, Carrots." Nick spoke out when Judy dove her head underneath the water again. She got out with an apple in her mouth and spat it out. "I think you already won." He said with a half-lidded gaze when he saw the polar bear gasping to the side, receiving what appeared to be medical help. Judy put her paws up in the air in victory and stood up beside Nick, who held out a dish towel to her.
"Well I beat every game so far here." Judy smiled as she dried her ears. She was dressed in a blue onesie with a red cape and giant S across her chest. Dressed up as her favorite hero, SuperJackel, while Nick dressed in a green tunic, hat and carrying a bow an arrow from the favorite children's story, Robin Hood. Judy frowned slightly as she leaned on her paw. "Now what?" She pondered loudly.
"How about we find a broom closet and play seven minutes in Heaven?" He grinned before getting a swift punch in the shoulder by a giggling Judy.
"You wish! Where's your sister? You did invite her right?" She asked as Nick slowly recovered from his sore arm.
"She texted me about five minutes ago." He said, glancing at his phone. "She and Gideon are going to dress alike, poor guy." He smirked. "He's going to look like a sissy."
"Don't be mean." Judy prodded. "I bet they're going to enter that contest."
Nick rolled his eyes. "Oh right. That cheesy contest where all you win is a jar of jelly beans and two, twenty-five dollar gift cards"
"When you say it like that, it sucks the fun right now. I should call you "cynic hood"."
"Okay then SuperRabbit, here's what's fun, let's go to the haunted house they have set up in the back. Whoever screams first has to treat the other a pillowcase full of candy."
Judy gasped and immediately went to her stash of candy that she had won from all of the games. She pressed the floral print pillow case against her small frame.
"That's not fair, you don't even have any candy!" She accused, pressing her cheeks against her bag. Nick crossed his arms at her smugly, putting his chin up at her as if he knew something she didn't.
"I can deliver Whiskers, are you afraid of a little competition?" He said with a roll of his slippery tongue. She puffed her cheeks.
"No! Let's go, I'm not going to be the one scared from a makeshift haunted house in the breakroom."
"Okay." He shrugged. "Whatever you say."
To prove him wrong, she and him rushed towards the break room where they set up the hallways and interrogation rooms into creepy attractions. Judy frowned when she saw the black plastic hanging from the ceiling. Behind it would be her co-workers ready to jump out and scare any passer bys. She closed her mouth when she saw Nick chuckling softly to himself. With her chest out, she swung her back over her shoulder and marched inside, with Nick trailing behind.
Once she was inside she was greeted with a 'boo!' but that did nothing to startle her because she saw the behemoth coming at her. Which was Clawhauser. He was dressed in a black jumpsuit and a hockey mask that looked to be the size of a pup than a full grown cheetah. She snickered softly, covering her mouth when Clawhauser dropped his arms to his side.
"Aw come on! You're the sixth animal that wasn't afraid of me!" He whined softly, taking off the mask.
"I'm sorry, Benjamin." Judy said gently. "But I kinda saw you peeking around the corner."
"Yeah...maybe I should go hide somewhere else. You know, Nick was here earlier, I bet he told ya I was here huh?"
Judy's ears sprang up and whirled at Nick, who casually placed his paws behind his back. Her eyes lowered.
"You little cheater! You know exactly what's coming! That's why you made the bet!"
Nick clicked. "Yup. Guilty as charged."
"Well, guess what? Smart guy." She gritted. "I'm not going to lose!" She ran into the next attraction with Nick, calmly walking behind her as they went through each room. Judy was a bit disappointed with the attractions. The only scary thing she saw was Chief Bogo dressed in overalls and wearing a red wig. She didn't know what he was trying to be but it looked uncomfortable. She knew if she keeps it up, she was going to win and she wouldn't have to give Nick her candy.
"Careful Whiskers." Nick warned, making her stop in her tracks. She cocked her brow at him. "Up ahead is the real deal."
"Whatever." She scoffed. "I haven't screamed once, you're just trying to trick me."
"Okay." He said raising his paws in defeat. "Go ahead."
With a smirk, she stepped through the plastic tassels and was faced with a black light room with glow in the dark graffiti. It was silent at first until she heard a rustle. She couldn't see much but she can hear. She followed the swift footsteps and what appeared to be a flapping noise. Her head swiveled up, just in time to see the flying creature, screaming right at her.
She ducked and turned around to see her co-worker, Bertium, the bat. She laughed softly to herself when he hanged upside down with his wings around himself.
"Aw, guess I couldn't scare you, huh Hopps?"
She shook her head. "Nope, not today." She heard a groan that satisfied her hearing when Nick stepped through.
"I was really hoping to taste that candy."
Judy stuck her tongue out playfully. "And I would have shared it with you, if you didn't try to cheat!"
Nick snorted and waved her away. "Yeah, okay...but at least I don't need to give you the candy I got." Judy's ear radared and she turned her head back to Nick and heard a voice directly behind him.
"Howdy, Nicholas! what a coincidence to have found you hear. "
Nick let out a hum and turned to the familiar voice and was faced to faced, with a pasty white, red nose face. Grinning madly at him with a bright red wig. Nick shouted out and stumbled back towards Judy, diving behind her for immediate protection until he heard the wave of laughter.
"Well, gee, didn't mean to scare ya." Gideon said when he scratched the back of his head. "The least scariest thing I could think off was being a clown but boy, did you jump."
"What a pup!" Nick frowned when he heard his sister laughing. She was dressed in a polkadot onesie, wearing the same type of clown outfit like Gideon. Judy turned to Nick with her paw up to his face and with a grin, she stated loudly.
"Trick or treat!"
