And so, yet another great fall event was upon them, them being the father/daughter duo, SassyPeach and SassyPear. It was mid-October, and there were pumpkins everywhere, some carved, and some waiting still to be carved. The event they were going to would be the Father Daughter Halloween Dance, and SassyPear was oh so excited. First, they would have to pick out costumes, and secondly, they would need big enough bags for all the candy.

Cheetara would be coming with them shopping. They decided to go to the mall the night before, and SassyPear was disappointed to find many of the shelves empty in the store. She asked her dad SassyPeach why they didn’t go sooner, but he was too busy looking at a cowboy outfit, with twin pistols, leather chaps, and stirrups for his boots. Finally, after much perusing, SassyPear decided to be a cowgirl too, to match her daddy.

They took up all their items to the counter, and found FutureStealer behind the register. Grinning, SassyPear asked her daddy SassyPeach if he’d buy her a big purple pumpkin lollypop with pink gum for eyes, to which he obliged. They checked out, and went home to have dinner with Auntie Cheetara, and went to bed early so they could get a lot of sleep before their big day tomorrow.

SassyPear asked SassyPeach to read her a bedtime story. He read her one about witches and cauldrons and batwings and magical broths. She was so afraid, he had to hug her until she calmed down to sleep. But when she went to sleep, she slept deeply and happily looking forward to the fun they would have.

Today was the big day, and things in the Sassy Household were electric with energy and jumping with joy, SassyPear especially. She got her cowgirl outfit on, with pink pistols, and knee-high boots. SassyPeach was excited too, and he got into his getup, and told her to giddy-up darlin’ as he opened up the door to his Candy Apple Red Chevrolet.

They listed to spooky themed music on the radio in the car and arrived at the school quickly, because it was only two blocks away. SassyPeach hitched his vehicle to a parking meter with some rope, and they held hands as they walked into the school.

There, they saw Principal AssChicken giving out candy corn and selling raffle tickets for the best father daughter costume pair. FutureStealer was on stage playing his rock and roll guitar. SassyPeach took SassyPear over to drink some of the blood red punch, and they ate pumpkin muffins brought by Alucard. SassyPeach realized he should’ve brought something for the potluck affair, and reached into his pocket and poured some tic tacs on a plate to compensate.

SassyPeach and SassyPear started their first dance, listening to Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, and they danced slowly, as the other Father Daughter pairs danced along with them. Lylithe and Zoom were dancing near them, but Zoom tripped on her shoelaces. quiet and @Shorsey were off at the snack table eating olives. Odin and Cheetara, both teachers at the school, but also a father daughter couple, danced to the pretty songs as well. SassyPeach took SassyPear over for some orange and black frosted cupcakes. Boy were they parched fruits from all that dancing.

Suddenly, they heard a crash, and the lights flickered for a second, but steadied. FutureStealer was passed out on the stage, and dropped his guitar after urinating his pants. He was electrocuted. SassyPeach knew there was only one thing he could do. He ran up to the stage, and started to play music in place of FutureStealer. FutureStealer awoke and took over at the microphone after bandaging his hand.

SassyPeach played Earth Angel, and then Johnny B. Goode, but he got a bit faint at one point while SassyPear was talking to Hobbs. Then he started playing faster, and started soloing. The crowd was a bit confused, but he guessed everyone there wasn’t ready for that yet.

He got off the stage and went back to get some more punch. SassyPear came over to him and said that all her friends were jealous of her daddy’s guitar skills.

And now came the costume contest… SassyPeach was quite proud of his outfit. He kept spinning his pistols on his finger and would say bang bang to the teachers chaperoning. SassyPear helped her outfit by saying y’all and get along little doggies.

The gymnastics coach Bianca was the one to decide, and without much hesitation, she gave SassyPeach and SassyPear each the #1 award, caramel apples with #1 on them in orange sprinkles. SassyPeach was so happy and hugged his daughter vigorously in celebration.

However, little did they know, that wasn’t the only contest to be had that night. They were all called over by AssChicken to the center of the dancefloor and told to make a line. SassyPear and SassyPeach both ended up last in line.

FrenchieHorn came out carrying a big big steel tub with water in it, and threw in some apples. Each contestant had fifteen seconds to try to snatch five apples from the tub. Most of the people in front of the Sassy Family were able to get two, but quiet was able to bite into a third.

Finally, SassyPeach and SassyPear stood in front of the big tub together. They were waiting for FrenchieHorn to start her stopwatch, when someone crept from the shadows whispering about the fruitses and the juices. It was Smigly! Smigly took this moment to push the two Sassys into the cold water and floating stray apple skins in the tub. Woe and fear filled them with the shock of submersion in the cold cold hose water. 

To Be Continued...

And where we left our heroes, they were in a bobbing for apples tub, pushed in by the evil Smigly, but Smigly is dead now, and our Sassys are still alive.

In their time underwater, they found themselves in the old west, searching for a way back to the present. It took them a long while to get a train to go eighty eight miles per hour, but SassyPeach, with the help of his feisty Pear, were able to succeed.

But now back at the scene spooky Halloween dance, something was different. When Peach awoke to a crash, a day after the dance had finished, SassyPeach found himself and his daughter inside a dumpster outside, with the dead Smigly too. He tried to shake SassyPear awake, but she would not wake. He cried. He sobbed. He was hysterical and inconsolable as the flies circled around them. She was his pride and joy and there was nothing more important to him in the world than his Pear, but she would not wake. He kissed her forehead in grief.

He wandered over to a liquor store and bought himself the cheapest of red wines. He drank and drank and wallowed in his grief for his beloved. Finally, in a moment of epiphany, he went back to the dumpster. He dragged her body home, being careful not to bruise her more. Futurestealer waved to the sassies with a grin, as SassyPeach pulled his dear pear over his lawn. Once at home, he took out a phonebook and sought out experts to bring her back. After consulting with Dr. elkmik, he came to a solution, but that is a spooky tale for another time…

The End.
