[A young nine year old sheet ghost is in the lobby, lurking. He approaches people as they pass by, but halfway backs away shyly.

After a while, he speaks quietly into the journal under the sheet, but it can be heard since it's not exactly a soundproof piece of cloth]

E--Excuse me, but is there still any adults left here? I don't--I don't want to go by myself...

[What's up with all these kids... Cloud's on his way to the entrance when he actually notices the small ghost approaching since the one hiding beneath the sheet is about his pony size... Great isn't it?

Wait, it's not approaching anymore, what in the world?]

What'd you say? [Even "cups" his hoof around his ear and everything.]

action

[heliotroping]

Yo--You talked...!

action

[chocoponying]

Why wouldn't I?

action

[heliotroping]

Because you're a pony?

action

[chocoponying]

Ah... Well... Yeah, I do. Some do. I guess.

action

[heliotroping]

That's cool...

action

[chocoponying]

Better than being a mute animal... Yeah.

[A beat.]

Did you want to ask something, earlier?

action

[heliotroping]

I--I guess...

[fidgetfidget]

I was wondering if anyone would go trick or treating with me...

action

[chocoponying]

[He has to lean over to listen to that...]

What is that exactly?

action

[heliotroping]

[he takes a step back]


I--I want to go trick or treating...

action

[chocoponying]

[Kiiid!]

I... Yeah, I did hear that, barely... What is trick or treating?

action

[heliotroping]

I--It's where you go around asking for candy...

action

[chocoponying]

Oh... That...

...

...

... I could go if you want.

action

[heliotroping]

[ghosty headtilt]

...Can you eat candy?

action

[chocoponying]

Apparently, I can.

action

[heliotroping]

O-Okay then Mr. Pony i--if you really don't mind...

action

[chocoponying]

The name is Cloud, kid. And I don't mind.

[heliotroping]

I--I'm Django...

[chocoponying]

[Too bad they never said each other's names before this... It would have probably made things easier!]

Alright, Django. Whenever you're ready.
