Noden's Halloween Story

One spooky Halloween night, Noden went trick or treating dressed as a vampire, Noden's favorite halloween costume. "Where is Bonnymiss?" Noden wondered unhappily, tired of waiting. "Bonnymiss is late, and I can't go trick or treating alone!"

Just then, a bush near Noden started to move! The leaves trembled and a cry rang out. Noden was frightened but bravely said, "Who's there?" Suddenly, a werewolf jumped from behind the bush! The werewolf shouted, "Boo! Guess who!" Noden knew who it was right away and said, "Bonnymiss, you silly thing. You scared me! Where have you been all this time?"

Laughing, Bonnymiss said, "You're a scaredy cat! Sorry I'm late, but there was a problem with my costume and I couldn't meet you sooner. Let's go trick or treating. There'll be no candy left for us if we wait any longer." "That's okay," Noden said. "Let's get started. I want some Halloween candy tonight!"

Noden suggested they go east first. Several houses looked promising that way, and Noden remembered that the folks in one particular house gave out great candy and were fun to visit. However, just as they started walking, Noden and Bonnymiss heard a scary howling noise. "What's that?" Bonnymiss said, shivering. All of a sudden a black cat ran out from under some bushes very close to their feet. The cat streaked in front of them, running very fast across the lawn. Frightened, Noden and Bonnymiss screamed in terror! Nothing else was in sight, and all was quiet. "It's only a silly old cat," Noden said. "It won't hurt us." Bonnymiss said with a nervous laugh, "I guess we're both scaredy cats!" "I guess we are!" Noden agreed, laughing, too. "But let's get going. We'll never get any Halloween candy unless we knock on some doors tonight."

Their hearts still pounding a little, Noden and Bonnymiss walked along the street. The first house they came to was creepy-looking and very old. It sat back from the street more than the other houses in the neighborhood. A long sidewalk lead up to a front porch that looked like it had seen better days. In the moonlight, the house looked deserted, but lights glowed through the windows. Bonnymiss whispered, "I think I remember somebody telling me that this house is haunted." "No way," Noden said, confidently pushing open the gate. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind rustled the leaves of the willow tree standing nearby and a loud crash came from the porch. Both friends jumped at the noise. "It's just the wind," Noden said a little shakily. Although Noden and Bonnymiss felt a little nervous, they walked slowly through the creaky front gate and up the long sidewalk towards the front door.

The old stairs creaked as they climbed onto the porch. Lying on the floor of the porch they saw a broken flower pot. "That's what made the loud crash we heard," Noden said. "See? There's nothing scary here." "Yeah, right," Bonnymiss said, "Go ahead, Noden. You knock on the door."

Just then Noden and Bonnymiss saw a large, strange shadow behind the wavy glass in the front door. Suddenly, the shadow started moving towards them! Before they could knock or even think, the door flew open! A large Ginger Snaps stood before them! Noden and Bonnymiss shouted and jumped back with a start! Bonnymiss turned to run away.

"Wait! Happy Halloween vampire and werewolf!" the large Ginger Snaps said, laughing. "Great costumes! Don't you two want some candy?" Bonnymiss said, "Hey, I remember that voice! I know who you are! You're Lexfonteyne!"

Lexfonteyne said, smiling. "That's right, and you're Bonnymiss. Welcome to my house. You and Noden are my first guests tonight. How about some treats?"

A little while later, Noden and Bonnymiss called out "Thanks! Bye, Lexfonteyne!" as they walked down the sidewalk, their trick or treat bags full of Halloween candy. Bonnymiss said, "Noden, you knew all along that was Lexfonteyne's house, didn't you!" "Yes, I knew. The trick is on you!" Noden said. "Lexfonteyne is a friend of my folks and I've been to that house before. You know it isn't safe to trick or treat at a stranger's house, so that's why I suggested going there." "That's right," Bonnymiss said. "It's better to be safe than sorry!"

So, that Halloween night Noden and Bonnymiss had a great time trick or treating. And they followed all the safety rules to make it home safely, too. "I can't wait until next year!" they said together, smiling big smiles. Then Noden and Bonnymiss walked home, happily planning their costumes for next year all the way.
