Sixteenth Snowflake

[You might think a holiday with as many sweets as Halloween would please Sugar. Wrong. Cowering below one of the lobby tables is Sugar, dressed up like a certain familiar ~~high school~~ elementary school detective, right down her tiny pair of glasses. Her little wings look rather out of place with the blue jacket. Quietly, she whispers to her journal.]

What happened to the castle? Everything is scary now. I don't like it.

[There's a gasp and she goes quiet as one of the ghosts walk past.]

Oh, and where did my clothes go? When I woke up yesterday they were gone, and I was wearing Conan's clothes again. [Pause.] I didn't realize he had clothes that would fit me.

[Conan was in a bad mood. Conan was grumpy about a lot of things right now. Not least of these was the fact that he was now dressed as a miniature version of that idiot thief. And he could not remove it. He couldn't even take the ridiculous hat and monocle off.

And then he discovered what Sugar was wearing. He'd immediately gone in search of her.]

....The castle is mocking me, isn't it.

[Sugar hears his voice from her hiding place under the table. ...Or is it him? What if it's one of those creepy servant people who's just pretending to be him so she'll let her guard down??

Quietly a voice speaks from under the table:]

Conan?

Yeah, it's me. I heard your post.

[Sugar peeks her head out from under the table, still a little suspicious.]

You're not wearing your usual outfit. [Gasp!] Is that because I have it? I'm sorry, Conan.

No one is wearing their usual outfit. [He sounded annoyed.]

Its the castle again.

Really? But why?

Probably because of the date.

What would the date have to do with wearing different things?

Because its Halloween. Its a western holiday where children are expected to wear costumes.

Really? Why do they do that?

Tradition. Its part of their holiday.

Oh. What other traditions are there for Halloween?

That depends on the country.

Well, what ones does yours have?

Sugar-chan...?

[Rise seems to have lost her roommate! She's not quite sure where the little fairy's gone off to, but she's been looking all over the castle. She's sure she's safe and all, for now, but all the spooky decorations might be enough to frighten the poor thing!

From under the table, Sugar might catch a glimpse of the familiar (or they should be, by now) shoes and stockings of Rise's own costume, as she very quietly calls out for the fairy again.]

[She does! Quietly, Rise will hear her whispered voice coming from under the table.]

Rise! I'm over here.

[Sugar, sweetie.......

Rise kneels down next to the table, smiling when she sees the familiar little fairy in an also-familiar costume.]

There you are! What are you doing hiding all the way out here?

The castle's changed. It's suspicious. [...Wait.] I mean scary.

[That particular slip gets a quiet giggle out of Rise. Not enough to completely mask her concern, but she can't help being amused at the little fairy almost acting the part of her costume.]

Sorry... you make such a perfect little Conan-kun!

[Then, back to fully concerned:]

Would it be less scary with me? I could protect you.

Really? You think so? [Sugar isn't quite sure how to take that. She doesn't seem to notice the giggling though, or if she does, she doesn't mind.]

[Sugar peeks out just far enough to glance left and right.]

Would you do that for me?

[So adorably cautious! Sugar's an improvement over the real Conan in a lot of ways... she'd be diving headfirst into danger and being a little brat about it if she really wanted to be like him.]

Always...

[Smiling down at the fairy, she holds out her hand, palm-up. Offering to hold the little fairy if she wants.]

You're really important to me, Sugar-chan... I'd never let anything happen to you.

Oh, Rise...!

[Ignoring the hand, Sugar flies up to kiss Rise's face instead. Once she's done, she floats at face level with a big grin.]

You're important to me too, you know!

[Chell's skipping... yes skipping... past the table as Sugar starts dictating. She leeeans down and peers under.]

It's Halloween! Do you wanna go trick-or-treating with me?

[Someone's stuck as a child too.]

What is trick-or-treating?

[It sounds like something Basel and Cinnamon would do: play tricks on people for treats.]

[Chell's face falls.]

I dunno really. But maybe we could find out ttogether?

[Aww... No, no! No feeling sad! Sugar peeks her head out from under the table.]

Well, I guess... Are you sure it's safe out there?
