Tadah! I hope you like it c:


Task 2
Write a short story about your number one dream villager and something scary that happened to them during Halloween!

"Knock,knock! Gala are you ready?" said Tiffany peeping her head through the front door. "I'm not to sure about scaring the mayor, Tiffany . I mean she's been so kind to me since I moved into town. She even insisted I move here." Gala said sheepishly.
"Come on Gala! We are just having some fun!" exclaimed Tiffany. "The whole town is dressed up to chase her! Don't worry to much, Mayor Melissa is a very festive person"
"Well I guess it wouldn't hurt to have fun today. It is Halloween " Gala said, feeling confident about scaring the mayor. Both Gala and Tiffany put on their pumpkin heads and slid out the door. Everyone wore bright Jack-o-lantern masks and scurried behind trees and benches waiting for Melissa to take her nightly stroll through town. She would follow the same path each night and chitchat with villagers. It was the perfect plan. Everyone giggled as they waited for the mayor.
Suddenly, a shriek of agony came from the campsite not to far from Gala's hiding place by the video screen. Slipping and sliding across the paths, Kyle came screaming about a ghost chasing him. The though of Gala's worst fear, werewolves, sent a shiver up her spine.
Anxiously waiting, another scream was heard by the Cafe. Katt hissing and scratching ran straight past her and into her house.
"Tiffany" Gala whispered "Im starting to freak out a little. I knew it was a bad idea!"
"DON'T BE SUCH A BABY!" snapped Tiffany as she peeked from behind town hall. "AAAAHHHHH! TIFFANY THERE'S A MUMMY BY MY HOUSE!" squealed Winnie trotting towards them. "Sssh! I'll check on it if you go to Winnie. I hate mummies " Tiffany declared. The rest of the villagers were either hiding at home from the creatures lurking outside or at the town hall reporting a sighting of a monster.
It had been 5 minutes since Winnie and Tiffany left. Panic had set in, Gala began reciting recipes to keep calm "Two egg, Two and one-fourth cups of flour,Three-fourthes cups of brown and white sugar." Suddenly it grew quite, there was no sign of anyone. Gala heard footsteps behind her,then a loud howl. Gala recited the recipe faster"One teaspoon of vanilla extract,one teaspoon of baking soda" She stopped and slowly turned around to face the noise of heavy breathing.
"Hiya Gala!" . Gala,frozen in fear began to shriek. A werewolf knew her name! "MISTER WEREWOLF DON'T EAT ME PLEASE! I'VE BEEN NICE AND SWEET! NOT SWEET AS IN DELICIOUS LIKE CARAMEL BUT ..." The werewolf cut of Gala's screaming, "OHMYGOSH Caramel sounds really good right now. Mmm with vanilla icecream."Gala reached out and pulled of the mask exposing mayor Melissa's face. Gala sighed in relief "Thank heavens,it's just you"
"I heard you reciting a cookie recipe. I'm pretty hungry after running around scaring people for candy, so I was going to ask if you wanted to make them." Melissa said gleefully. "I suppose it would be nice right about now.Let's head to my house then, we can make them for everyone! " exclaimed Gala. They strolled to Gala's home pointing out the little perfections around town. All was calm and peaceful in the little town of Edenia.

Mine on Stitches ^~^ my dreamie... I couldnt decide so i did two ;u;....

Spoiler

Stitches woke up and yawned rubbing his paw on his eye, stepping out of his kiddie bed feeling the plush carpeting behind his paws he walked over to his closet removing the costume and setting it down on his bed.
"Today is finally Halloween! I'm so excited I can't wait to go Trick-or-Treating" Stitches said happily with an excited tone to his voice, he flipped into his clothes putting on an orange shirt with a pumpkin face on it along with a little orange hat to match with holes for his ears to go through and a stem on top for the stem of the pumpkin.
He stepped out of his door to see the colors of autumn watching the leaves gracefully float in the wind to the ground, he smelled the aroma of cinnamon and pumpkins in the air and began to daydream of pumpkin pudding and his favorite type of coffee.
He walked to the nearby cafe to order his coffee and pudding for the morning and order an extra Pumpkin Muffin to celebrate Halloween, He loved to eat espically during the Fall because he loved all the foods this season offered, He took a bite of his muffin along with a perfect sip of coffee; it wasn't too hot nor too cold the spice wasn't too strong, just right to warm his stuffing and put a grin on his face in content.
He picked up the bag of candy he brought with him and left the cafe after finishing his morning snack and drink, Music started to play and fog began to spread, he put some candy in his pockets and hid the bag for later, He bagan hiding behind the trees watching the Mayor look for Jack but come to a stop by a fellow villager for candy.
Stitches ran out from behind the tree and hid right near Jack so he could catch the mayor for candy, but little did he know he wasn't getting a treat this Halloween, The Mayor ran out and saw stitches and let out a growl with a pumpkin for a head Stitches let out a terrified scream and ran off to come to Jack, as Jack let out a growl as well Stitches scream louder fainting from the scares dropping his candy.
Jack looked down at Stitches laughing,picked up his candy and disappeared into the air.
The mayor went over to Stitches and held out a hand asking if he was ok and helped him up, Stitches said to the mayor, "Thanks! You really scared me, as well as jack..."
the mayor laughed, "Sorry, It seems like Jack took your candy... Want mine? I think he has enough for this Halloween."
"No thanks, I hid a bag of candy behind the cafe before this started I'll be fine!" Stitches said and began to walk off to his house, and opened the door to come to another scare, his friends and the mayor were there shouting "SURPRISE!" and stitches having another near heart attack was happy to see his friends threw him a Halloween party.

On the night of Halloween a witch lit a candle, softly blowing out the little flame of magic called fire, she stood in the middle of the room with her spell book and began to reciet the words written on the old,singed pieces of paper sewn into the leather book.
"Arise a spirit lost between worlds roaming in the shadows we cannot see to trick the mortals on this day, All Hallows eve and bring them to their demise, let them see laughter and joy yet under this mask see the fires of insanity burn beneath, come materialise Jack." She spoke a loud.
The candle blew out but a small gust of wind, as the room darkened the floor glowed a faded white under the cracks of the wood.
The ground shook the books fell from their shelves and the witch held herself up against the wall holding her book tightly in her hands and in a flash of light a crack of lighting stuck through her house onto the floor igniting the wood with a bang and shattered pieces of debree a shadowy figure emerged from the depths of the fire as a deep tone of laugter bounced from the walls and rang in her ears a voice spoke out "It's simply not Halloween without Jack is it?" A face appeared from the fire and spoke to the witch.
The witch noticed his hideously burned face melting from the fire, she looked to her right on her desk and saw a pumpkin she carved with an eery grin and light emitting from the inside of the hallowed out pumpkin, she picked it up gently walking over to him and placed it on his head along with a purple velvet robe and wraped it around him.
The witch sent him on his way out from his home to the dark forest of the village, she pulled her hat low a strand of blue hair fell from the hat and a smile emerged upon her face, "I'm ready for halloween isabelle." She said happily with a blank lifeless stare.
Jack was walking around as he found candy on the floor he unwrapped it and took a bite, filled with sweet delicious flavors of the candy he came to love the taste and couldn't get enough he ran to a house nearby and snuck in through the window taking all their candy from the home crazed with the rush of sugar he left from house to house.
He snuck up behind the witch, "Since you brought me to life it is your job and ONLY Your job to bring me candy on Halloween, why scare these villagers when they have so much to offer me?" He said to the witch.
she sighed and looked at him with a disappointed look in him, she wanted to get all the villagers back for their lack of ideas for the town constantly treating her like a slave to deliever mail and packages get them items they could get themselves she was the mayor afterall why should she do anything she asked herself.
"If you help me, you get rewards but to put a twist the villagers will hunt you for candy, after all they don't have candy now do they anymore?" He said to the witch, she agreed to the deal against her will, either way he was going to force her to get candy for him if not; she'd be cursed with a pumpkin for a head.
Jack loved candy so much...and Halloween was the ONLY time he ever got candy, he's also the spirit of Halloween born for the holiday his reason for life.
And this my readers is how Jack was born into the world and started his candy high on Animal crossing and the mayor is the only one to give him candy.

one is for the scary thing and jack ;u;...

 

[Toffee]

I'll give it a try~

Task 1
Write a short story about you're favourite villager in your town, explain who they are and the events that led them to finding your town!

Spoiler: a day with ankha

Side note: though I have several villagers in my town who are dreamies, Ankha is the one villager I've had a long time now in acnl and have grown the most attachments so far to so I'll be writing about her. Also when I say "mytown" it isn't a typo it's my literal town name haha.

"An overrated cat, if you ask me," I explained to my sister, days before I had first gotten my campsite in mytown. I would have never thought soon after making that public project that I would have her in my tent. There she was though, late at night I went into my tent and the mummy queen cat was there. Of course, I was really excited to see her and why wouldn't I be? She was valuable and I thought "I'll keep her until I know what to do with her" and after a game, she decided mytown was the place to be.

Excitedly, I time-traveled back and forth for her to move in and when she finally had I began to try to be her friend. I quickly began to grow an attachment with my new-found mummy cat. As a snooty, I expected her to be more like Olivia, one of my first villagers ever. Olivia in the gamecube version was exactly what you'd expect: she's snobby. She would make demeaning remarks whenever you'd talk to her, no matter the subject, whether it be your clothes or your personality. Ankha is very far from snooty, I quickly realized. The only remark ever made is about wearing clothes too many days in a row and beyond that she's never agitated no matter how many times I bug her.

This isn't why I've grown to love ankha though, at least it isn't my main reason. I've found with ankha she's the one villager I have who always asks for furniture. Nearly every single day, she has asked. What's worse is since I was new to new leaf I didn't realize that upon giving them these items: they used them. It wasn't until she first invited me into her house that I realized she had taken all the items I gave her and put them in her home. Her once pretty desert palace interior had been soiled by a lovely clock above her throne and a office locker instead of the Egyptian sarcophagus once by her side. This realization made my new leaf experience funnier than I would have thought, since my loved villager's house now looked like a house where everything was thrown in and hoped for the best. Over the months it's always been a struggle to fix her home: Sometimes her house is decorated with #2 and clover shirts, and sometimes it's been cleaned to only contain a few mismatched items.

As time went on since she moved in, I've discovered that although she is the nicest snooty I have ever come by she does act too-good for one and only one villager: Kabuki. Months after Ankha moved in, Kabuki decided to make his plot on the other side of the village and for some reason the two are always hanging out and I have to always give back stuff Kabuki's left at Ankha's house. That's normal enough though, right? Well it would be, except it's always happening with those two in specific. It's funny to me because even though they're always hanging with eachother Ankha doesn't like being known to my cranky cat. She'll always give me stuff to return him and say things like "I can't be seen around him, so can you please return this to Kabuki?" Of course I accept and when I give it to Kabuki he has a very different reply. Always something like "Ah! It's wrapped? But I guess Ankha is just considerate like that." It's because of this that their friendship is by far my favorite in my town.

At the end of the day, I'm glad that Ankha came in my tent because if she hadn't I doubt I would have ever given her the proper chance. She is and always will be one of the villagers I hold dear in my animal crossing experiences.

[MayorChiara]

It's very long and there's a few mistakes (I got carried away and wasn't paying attention) I apologize Hope you enjoy !

Spoiler: Task 2

It's quite long because I started and couldn't stop!! I hope you enjoy it

Little Rudy like every Halloween was at home, Left out because he reminded everyone of Christmas with his small, round, red nose.
He was joined by his friend Erik as well. They had been banished from being outside on the spooky night, the 31st of October, And by who were they banished, you say? By Jack himself. The mysterious character seemed like a troubled type.

The 2 amigos wanted to be treated fairly. That's why they went on a secret mission. To find Jack and confront him. They put their disguises on, Erik had a red pumpkin head with evil type cut-out eyes however Rudy had a blue head with an evil smile. They then set out for their adventure!

Along their way they hid from their fellow villagers not knowing if they were Jack or the Mayor. Suddenly Rudy fell into a disguised pitfall. Erik shrieked. A shadowy figure with an orange pumpkin head heard the shriek and turned his attention to Erik who in the meantime had liberated his friend. Erik saw the figure approaching and panicked. The scary pumpkin then asked the disguised Rudy a question:

-Trick or treat, I see you've found me!! Haha, Nice disguises, Who are you? I can't tell!

Erik knew Rudy was going to blow it, so he took matters into his own hands knowing that Jack was standing in front of them.
Imitating Pinky, Erik replied anxiously:

-Thanks Jack, Can't you tell? It's easy, cubbie!

Rudy taking the hint replied as Apple:

-H'apple Halloween, cheekers!

-Oh hello you 2! How's your evening? Replied Jack.

-Great! We were just coming out to get some candy. Though I was wondering why Erik and Rudy can't join us. Said "Pinky".

-Well, I'm going to let you 2 in on a little secret : they've got a lot of magical power, They could wipe out all of the dark world if they knew how to use it. I want to convert them to the dark side so they can destroy anyone & everything who stands in my way. SO I CAN RULE THE WORLD! MWAHAHAH! Jack laughed hysterically.

Rudy & Erik stood there, amazed at their hidden abilities, Erik was about to step away when Rudy went even further into the conversation:

-How can their powers activate and be used, cheekers?

Jack stood their perplexed that the little hamster wanted to know so much but still he responded honestly:

-By ores, Each colour represents different powers. There's a book about it in the library, But I don't recommend you to visit it on Halloween, weird things happen. It's said when people with strong powers enter the library on this spooky night, anything can happen.

Rudy could of fallen over and stayed there in a coma after hearing that. They thanked Jack and went on their way secretly telling him that they were going trick or treating.

As soon as Jack couldn't see them, they ran to the library. Hitting every rock with their shovels on their way. They managed to collect 2 golden nuggets, an emerald and a sapphire. Just as they were entering the library a shadow followed them, However the 2 adventurers didn't see it...

They wondered around the library when a book floated in the air and caught their attention. Rudy picked up the book and read the title : "Jack the mysterious li'l dude". Erik was sure that it was written by Peewee his long lost neighbour who moved out a long time ago, He called everyone "li'l dude".

As they opened and read the book further they discovered some information about Jack such as his childhood. As well as the ore powers, It seemed that the author knew a lot about the Halloween pumpkin. Erik wondered if Peewee's disappearance was linked with Jack. They read that the ores had to be held carefully or it would explode a zone of 40 metres square like a grenade. Sapphire's could be used to make an entire river appear to wash someone or something away at 50mph. Emeralds made force fields to protect someone or something. The book was very old so the Erik couldn't make out what Golden Nuggets did. To him they were useless now not knowing what they do. They could've taken 2 sapphires or emeralds instead!

Suddenly, The library door opened and a few animals came in without their pumpkin heads but instead had red doom eyes and no feet seems weird but it's true, They were floating just above the ground. They were moving like army soldiers, In line and were synchronized. In that little group of animals, Rudy was able to make out that Jack had somewhat hypnotized Gala, Ankha, Stiches, Coco (she didn't look much different as she didn't have eyes normally ), Pinky and Apple. Behind them Jack came in.

Rudy got the shock of his life, he fainted.

-NO RUDY!! Stay with me !! Erik pleaded! Knowing what he just said he shut himself up. He had confirmed that "Apple" was Rudy.

-I knew you 2 were phoneys! I found the real Pinky & Apple at home scoffing pie and pumpkin cider... Jack shouted.

The red eyed villagers started approaching Erik. He ran to an empty room dragging Rudy as fast as he could and slammed the door shut. He locked it and barricaded it with a shelf. That's when Erik noticed the shadowy figure that had been following them since they entered the library.

The shadowy figure started to take a shape. Erik's face went into shock. It was Peewee.

Peewee looked nervous. He said:

-Erik don't be scared, I'm still me but in ghost form, It was the work of Jack, I discovered all Jack's powers and past so I decided to write the book you read. Once he had found out, he banished me from living but I was able to use my powers to live while being dead. I have the powers of the jungle. You, Rudy and I have the same level of power. We have higher power than Jack but you won't be able to beat him if you don't know how to use it.

-What do golden nuggets do, chow down? Erik asked.

Peewee looked at Erik. Speechless.

-Gold nuggets can bring anyone back to life or banish someone from the real world forever. He said.

-Peewee, Do I have your permission to bring you back to life? Said Erik with a tear in his eye.

-Are you crying?

-No, Of course not! I got some dust in my eye. Humph!

-I would be glad to accept but it may go wrong & you might not see me ever again.

-I'm willing to take a chance.

Erik took the golden nugget out of his pocket, Placed it in his hands and pronounced the powers activator:

-Golden nugget, Bring Peewee back to life, Don't let him die. Bring him down from the sky. Within my power I activate you.

A golden mist started to descend around Peewee & lifted him up from the ground. He twirled and span around. His features started getting bolder, his colours too. He began to be less see-through. He finally got put on the ground swiftly and became his old self. Erik ran to him and gave him a hug, sure that he was alive again as he didn't go through him.

The room was silent, It was interrupted shortly with banging noises. The door was budging.

-What do we do with Rudy? Panicked Erik.

-Do you have an amethyst? Asked Peewee.

-Sadly no. Replied Erik.

-Then we'll need to use your emerald.

-How do you know that I have an emerald?

-I've been following you since you entered this place.

-Oh... *cough* Stalker *cough*

-We need to concentrate, give me your golden nugget, I'll attempt to send Jack back to the underworld.

The door finally breaks. Erik takes the emerald.

-Emerald, Protect my friend, The little Rudy, as we have been interrupted rudely. Within my power I activate you.

A green force field circled Rudy. Jack entered first with a silver ore in his hand. Before he had time to activate it's power, Peewee activated the golden nugget:

-Golden nugget, Take Jack into the underworld, make him suffer and mould, never let him re-surface. Within my power I activate you. Shouted Peewee.

A black mist covered Jack and pulled him into the ground, he screamed:

-No! How could you?! Peewee I'll get you for thi-

He was sucked into the underworld. Suddenly all the animals became normal again after a rather unusual twirl. They had no memory of what happened except Peewee and Erik and partly Rudy who woke up a few minutes later.
Peewee and Erik wrote a book about what happened for the future generation and soon everyone in the town of Pangy knew exactly what happened including the Mayor. She later made a new law that EVERYONE could participate in Halloween and have fun!
She decided to invite all the animals to her house the day after for a late fancy-dress Halloween dinner with Pumpkin cider so Pinky & Apple were happy!!

The End.

The End.

I LOVED THAT ! That was a very nice story and you've helped me made up my mind about my dream cranky for my own town! Peewee! Had a good balance of humour and seriousness ! Well done !

Right here we go!

Pudge enjoyed Halloween. He enjoyed trick or treating and gathering candy for his friends. Though there was one house he never dared to visit, the house of Jack o'Lantern, the king of Halloween.
(Now I start rhyming )

Whenever pudge passed it gave him the shivers,
Not wanting to know what happened he thought as he quivered.
Why were the decorations always up,
if Halloween was one day and one day was enough?
So on Halloween he decided to visit,
He brought snake with the muscle and stitches, a wizard.

They knocked on the door and heard "come in",
And that's when they saw the most sinful sin.
A pumpkin masked man tying up a poor penguin,
And when they saw the axe they knew the penguins time was up.

They ran out of the house, pudge grabbing some candy,
And went to see the mayor, stitches' wand came in handy.

When they found the mayor, they told him what they witnessed,
but the mayor shook them off and said it was none of their buisness.

He told them and told them nothing he would do,
For the penguin had the plague and was vomiting goo.

They hurried back to the house thinking they really shouldn't go,
But they saw a big queue and thought they should know.
They asked a small rabbit
Who looked terribly young,
But when he turned round they saw he was terribly down-run.
"What's wrong?" They asked and he said "it's this house,
It's terribly big and I'm as scared as a mouse"
"But why is everyone queued up?"
"We'll dont you see? The house is so so so scary."
"What, haven't you been, have you never had a run?
The house is haunted and its ever so fun."
"So the mayor lied in the end?" Is what pudge said,
and the other two agreed and snake nodded his head.

In the end the haunted house was fun,
It seemed to be enjoyed by everyone.
The penguin played a great corpse, Jack was very scary,
And the haunted sounds were made by o'Hare who was scarily hairy.
THE END

Hope you enjoy :3

Thank you so much for the opportunity and the great prompts, it's very kind of you! I had a lot of fun writing and I hope you enjoy reading my story.

Spoiler: Task 1

Task 1: My Favourite Villager and His Story...
It started simply enough. It was the treasurer (and not the personal assistant Isabelle) Chablis, who discovered him. The camper tent was inflated, there were only nine villagers. He was on his daily rounds when he went into the tent, stared and walked straight out.

"You have to come and see this." He hissed at his mayor. "It's Marshal."

The mayor Qwertj scrambled out of his office and into the tent, ready to begin negotiations.

It took 10k in random item games, several forced desperate smiles at pithy comments about the town and a do-or-die game of charades. Marshal ended his motions with a sneeze. Qwertj was sure the answer was hay fever, but was baffled when it wasn't part of Marshal's proffered answers. He prayed, closed his eyes and picked "in love".

Marshal said yes, he was moving in.

His plot appeared a couple of days later, subjecting the town to 24 hours of baited breath before relief. His house was situated close to Chablis', an apartment block suited to his position as treasurer. It was rectangular, sleek and bright. Marshal was perfect for the town.

And the town was determined to be perfect for him. His house was bordered with lilies. A money rock sat right behind his house, but the humans never minded having to pick lilies up to smack the rock. He slipped in and out with charismatic ease and delighted with awkward metaphors. He used hyperbole to express his feelings for neighbours.

He sold them many things.

He especially sold them paintings.

Paintings, at 8k a pop. Counterfeit paintings, to which he claimed he had an iron attachment to, and the one exception - the ONE exception, was always you. The mayor fell for it many times, as did the treasurer. But he was so loveable that they never once questioned him.

There was, however a growing sense of unease. Qwertj was in the mostly-empty art gallery, pondering his life choices, when Chablis arrived.

"Qwertj," he said, with a sense of urgency. "Marshal - Marshal is a traveling con man. Con squirrel. I checked his records. It wasn't easy. I had to pull favors. He moves into towns, short-term, and pulls out when they're not looking - or gets a cut if he's caught and is sold on the villager-trafficking black market."

"Is that so?" His tone was unreadable. Chablis was agitated. He worked hard for the information, and he was not getting appropriate response. "He's a big-time criminal, Qwertj! If I had your powers -"

"Mayors can't do anything about that, Chablis. And even if so, why would he come to our little town?"

"Because Asdfjkl starts with an A! Look - we can't continue to house that squirrel. He'll con us of town funds."

"Who's to say he hasn't? Art development funds is under mayoral jurisdiction."

He could feel Chablis seething in rage.

"Chablis, what would be the use of turning him in or out? Copper can't even handle a little lost kitten, much less an actual criminal. If he leaves, he starts it all again. You know what I think, Chablis?"

"I don't care but you're going to say it anyway."

"I think Marshal moves from town to town not only to rob, but also because he knows people won't love him for what he is. They love his beautiful marshmallowy face. His adorable chocolate roll tail. His pithy stock phrases that flirt and charm. We do too. The thing is this - we can also love his wicked, conniving ways.

You bought this neutral painting, Chablis." He laid a hand on the plaque. "And it was real. Perhaps if we show him sincere love, to soothe the squirrelly insecurity that leads him from town to town seeking suckers and affection, he would stay. He's part of the Asdfjkl dream, Chablis. Let's make sure he stays.

Forever."

And with that, the mayor left his treasurer fuming in the empty gallery.

It wasn't long after Marshal told him that Chablis was his best friend, that the art section of their museum began to fill with genuine paintings. Qwertj was satisfied. He ticked off a list at his desk, tipped his hat at Isabelle and went out to the island, intending to bring his perfect town fortune.

And uh, reading comprehension fail - I completely missed that Task 2 Halloween short story was supposed to be about my number one dream villager. I ended up writing a scenario that popped into my head with one of my current, in-town dream villagers. It's not supposed to count as an entry because I got it all wrong, but since I wrote it already I just want to share. I'll try to get a legitimate entry for Task 2 in before deadline!

Spoiler: An Unrelated Halloween Short Story...

Chrissy had noticed the new house down near the geyser, near Halloween. It was the talk of their little town for a bit, as any new things were wont to be, but the mayor seemed to be less enthused than usual, murmuring mysterious terms such as 'full town' and 'street pass' mournfully as it as mentioned.

Chrissy and her peppy self didn't understand any of that, but she did find that when their new neighbour Victoria moved in, the mayor didn't talk to her as much - which baffled her, as the mayor was by his own admission (as Genji confirmed) a pro listener. Victoria was a nice equestrian girl and so much like herself in peppy personality that it wasn't hard for them to get along, and in an effort to make up for the mayor's conspicuous absence in Victoria's life, Chrissy became a fast friend. They visited each other often, shopped together and had picnics at the town'a picnic blanket - though sometimes organized during the mayor's work times as Chrissy, though sympathetic to Victoria' plight, was a little afraid of her beloved mayor's condemnation if he found out. It was an irrational fear, she reasoned, but still it kept her tiptoeing around Victoria in certain aspects, and she worried it showed to both parties.

Even if it did, no one said anything about it. Everyone seemed perfectly happy with and effusive to her, and she was relieved by this state of mediated peace leading up to Halloween.

She had her outfit all planned out. For once, she would remove her adorable polka dot hood and squish her hitherto-unseen naked rabbit ears under a pumpkin mask, and wander around impersonating Jack - the Tzar of Halloween! But before she had even gotten out of the door...IT arrived.

FRANKENSTEIN('s monster)!

A crack of thunder startled her, a flash of lightning illuminated the figure and its grotesque, rectangular head. In one movement, she swooned and fainted.

When she came to, she saw a silhouette with two perky ears, watching over her. "Francine?" She queried, blinking to stabilize her vision.

"No, it's me, Victoria," a lilting peppy voice said, and as the fog cleared, so it was her horsey friend. Chrissy smiled with affection and delighted surprise.

"Oh, Victoria!" She wore a hood much like her usual, pink with white polka dots. "Are you in a bunny costume? Are you dressed as Asdfjkl's greatest pop star?" A girlish giggle. She waited for return banter from her good friend, but there was no reply.

It took a while before Victoria said "yes.

You."

Chrissy blinked, her sweet default smile on her face. The "you" seemed to be dripping in an emotion she couldn't quite place. A moment of thought, and she did. It was a familiar sensation, one she had until she heard the strangely soothing words of 'dreamie' and 'forever home' from their mayor, and after Pompom, Asdfjkl's first pop star, decided to move.

It was envy. Jealousy. It was what drove pop stars to -

"- replace you forever." Victoria concluded. "I wanted to be Asdfjkl's pop star in my own terms, but Qwertj is just too enamoured with his bunny grove to destroy it and let me stay instead. You know what he does, with the plots of moved out villagers? He plants flowers over the patch." She was almost snarling, which was no mean feat for a horse.

"I know," Chrissy interjected faintly. "I thought that was sweet. They chose white roses for Annalisa, all white roses."

"He plants flowers," she continued, her fake rabbit ears swaying in her rage, "and waters them. Waters them until the grass grows over again. He waters them until there is no trace of the villager left, and he takes away the flowers, and he never, ever, thinks about them again. No one does."

"That's because his treasurer Chablis really hates grass deterioration. I've heard Qwertj cry about Monique a few times too."

"There's only room for one pop star in this town. And that's me. Pretending to be you. So save your fake pity, Chrissy, and like, say goodbye."

The pillow came down without warning. The last thing she saw were those fake ears, bobbing.

She screamed when she came to this time, especially at the presence of the distinct and only horse of the town still in her room. Victoria rushed over, her usual self in her usual bridle, not at all clad in the ominous outfit Chrissy saw prior.

"Are you alright? You've been in all night - I was worried something had happened."
Chrissy stared at her in mute fear.
"You've been waiting so long for Halloween...it's almost over." Victoria wore a wistful smile, her hooves gently closing over her little paws. Chrissy felt her slip something between them, and as Victoria straightened up, looked at it.

It was candy.

She smiled up gratefully, her apprehension melting away. A sense of shame, almost, crept over her as she gazed into Victoria's trusting eyes. Why was she afraid of her friend? It wasn't the Asdfjkl way. She laughed, stood and said, "thank you." She meant it.

"Let's go trick some candy off Qwertj, he's still there!"
Chrissy nodded in agreement and popped on her pink pumpkin head, ready to go.

She watched through the perfectly carved eye circles as Victoria rummaged in her pockets, pulled out her mask and pulled on her pink, white polka dot bunny hood.

I reread the header post again and hope it's OK to submit this task 2, I tried to make it concise. I just enjoyed writing these as the idea came to me, so thanks again for the contest and fun tasks!

Spoiler: Task 2

Task 2 - My No. 1 Dream Villager (Marina) & Something Scary
Marina was politely bemused by the radical anti-candy talk that Merengue had been engaging in. When did normal girls get so nutty? Well, she did have an obsession with mops a while ago. "I love candy too, shortcake," she said, evinced by the dollop of cream on her head and her catchphrase, "but it does get terribly unhealthy in large amounts." That was true. Oh no, she was seeing the reason of her argument.

"Merengue, you have a dessert counter in your house and you're so good at baking - it's hard to take you seriously." She placed a tentacle on her shoulder and tilted her beribboned head, smiling as much as an octopus could smile. The creamy rhino sighed. They sat in silence - Marina contemplated her tea.

"I know - I'll bake - I'll bake something else!" Merengue piped up, holding her spare limbs. "Things are actually more healthy when you bake them, you know, with the exception of cakes and desserts and cheese, of course. Like - like potato! Fruit! Oooh, beef! Fish! I could make jerky!"
"Sounds...great, Merengue," Marina said, retracting her arms, unsure of whether she wanted to be in the conversation. She was one of the only other omnivores in the village, but she was also distinctly aware that she was, too, an edible creature. No one really ate rhinos - not in this town, anyway.

The thought curled her tentacles. She smiled meekly at Merengue and excused herself, shuffling on all legs out of the door.
"I'll make sure we get some healthy snacks on Halloween, okay?!" Her friend called behind her. "If we give them out with the candy tonight, it'll tamper the tooth-rotting effect! Let's do this, Marina!"

She only shuffled away faster, and feeling mildly disturbed, curled up on her bed with a good book until she drifted off for an afternoon nap, haunted by nightmares of sun-dried food product. Marina was finally roused by the scent of roasted seafood in the evening of Halloween. It smelled salted and dried, and it came wafting from the direction Merengue's house.

It was making her sick. She wrapped her tentacles about her, with a sudden paranoia that her limbs were not all there. A brief plop on the sofa, and she held up each tentacle to count.

She was missing one.
She was missing one.

She counted again as the smell swelled up about her, closed in around her, held her in its stranglehold of pungent misery. The absent cries of seafood compatriots called for her.

She was missing a tentacle.

It took her a while to gather up courage, and move. She slammed her door open and found herself confronting faceless pumpkin-heads, swanning around in anonymity. But she knew which one would be Merengue. It was the one not giving candy.

She didn't have to find her. Merengue found her first. A pink pumpkin-head scampered up with a bag and opened it - and in the pile of roasted snacks, was a beautiful, shrivelled tentacle, spiralled into itself like a fern frond, salted and roasted and good to eat.

"Look!" She said.
Marina's response was a piercing cry.

The cry had everyone running over. Masks were tossed on the ground, bags of candy abandoned - the mayor came running and raging, for Marina was a long-time friend* and he was terribly protective. Subsequently, the crowd dispersed for Qwertj to hold her, and ask in a soothing manner: "what's wrong, Marina?"

"I'm missing a tentacle!" She wailed, coiling one around his arm. "And - and it's in Merengue's bag of...of roasted seafood!"
"That's not you!" Merengue cried too, in horror and alarm. "It's just an octopus I fished up - and I made sure it was no one you knew!"
"But I'm missing a tentacle, see," Marina moaned, and counted out her limbs for all the neighbours to witness.

There was a silence, almost embarrassed, which the mayor broke with:
"Marina darling, you left out the tentacle you were counting with."

She looked at her limb, holding another aloft, and slowly counted again.

"Oh." She said, turning pinker - no mean feat, for she was very pink. "I'm sorry. I'm especially sorry to you, Merengue."
"That's fine," Merengue said, squishing her affirmatively eight-legged friend. "I'm swearing off seafood now."

Postnote: *I had Marina as a villager in Wild World.

Edited for some grammatical errors and writing choices that bothered me.
