I kicked the door three times as if knocking because all three had our hands full

After a moment Darry appeared at the door

"Oh!, here let me help you" he said in a surprised tone and he grabbed a few bags from me and sat them on the table as we walked in

"Soda, Pony, Steve, Johnny can you guys help with this we got lots of stuff over here" I said struggling to hold up two pumpkins with bags strung on my arms along with Dally and Two-bit

They all came rushing in through the kitchen with grins, Johnny just with a small happy smile

"Oh my God Gracie, did you buy the whole store!" Spoke Pony with excitement

"Not exactly" I laughed as the boys helped grab some stuff from all three of our arms

"What's this all for?" Steve spoke

"For fall and Halloween, Steve you should know it's my favorite season by now by the way I decorate" I grinned

"Oh yeah, kinda forgot" he gave a grin and scratched the back of his neck

"I'm offended you could forget" I rolled my eyes at my big brother, faking a stab to the heart causing everyone to laugh

"I'm kidding, how could I forget with your annoying ass rants and watching horror movies every day of October" he laughed

I smacked the back of his head and he brought his hand to the spot before saying

"Ow" he rolled his eyes with a laugh

"Shut it" I laughed before setting everything on the table

The gang and my brother all gathered around the table to look at the things

"Okay so since you guys haven't known me until like a few months ago you clearly don't know my obsession for Halloween and fall. I go all out every year with whatever I can go with so this is what I'm doing and it happens every year so get used to it" I grinned as I grabbed the horse head

Pony glared at me as he seen it causing me to give a smirk like grin as I picked it up glancing at Two giving the same one

"Oh and we also dress up and scare kids too sometimes trick or treat because who doesn't want free candy."

I threw the horse head at Ponyboy letting out a laugh along with everyone else

"Your wearing that when we do" he gave a glare before speaking

"I. Am. Not." He spoke

"Yes. You. Are. No excuses Ponyboy" I let out a laugh, Dallas and Two-bit snickering in the back

I went over to Pony and grabbed the mask out of his hands, when he started talking with Soda I slipped it onto his face, him letting out a gasp of surprise

I let out a cackle along with the others whilst Johnny gave a big grin

He pulled it off his head in annoyance

I walked over to him and slung my arm around him

"Sorry Pony, I had to take the chance"

I smiled a smile of mischief causing him to break out in one to before nodding his head.

"Okay so we're gonna carve pumpkins in like a week so they won't rot by halloween and we gotta watch horror movies and eat lots of candy too so prepare yourselfs" I said

"Ugh whyyyy" Steve groaned

"Because Stevie boy, it's my tradition and you should be used to this" I laughed

Darry just shook his head with a smile

"I'm sure this will be an October to remember" he spoke with a smile
