“A haunted house? Sounds pretty lame..”

“Right, but Emira really sounded interested in it and I just feel like we’d be bad friends if we didn’t go with her, ya know?”

Charlie frowned, the last thing anyone should do, even Nealie, NO ESPECIALLY Nealie, was to call him a bad friend.

“Tsk, I didn’t say I wouldn’t go. I just said it sounded lame, got it.”

On the other side of the video monitor, Nealie pouted her many stuffed animals behind her, seeming to stare at him.

“And yet, my dear little goat boy, you’re still just sitting there in your room not getting ready at all…” she briefly paused before adding, “That’s it I’m calling Miré.”

As Charlie exclaimed his displeasure, the screen split into two.

“What? Nealie no! Don’t- ohh heyyy Emira.”

Her swirled pupils gazed at him as she brushed out her hair.

“Hello Charles. Hi Nealie. How are you two this evening?”

He grumpily replied, “I’ve been better…”

“Oh my gosh Miré, we’re doing great! Char-char just said that he would take us to the haunted gingerbread mansion in Grimsby Town!”

Emira gasped before smiling and clapping her hands together.

“Oh really? That IS such a treat!”

“Hehe, yeah… But like don’t you need a chaperone or something, Emira? This is kinda last minute.”

Charlie sighed as the two girls giggled. THAT wasn’t a good sign.

Nealie disappeared from her frame before coming back holding something.

“I’ve got this completely covered! No pun intended; okaaay, it was a little intended. But still. What’da ya say Charlie? Can we come over and get all dolled up?”

He nodded. “Yeah, give me five though, I gotta let mom know I’m having girls over…”

The two girls squealed in delight as he disconnected from their call.

Just how did he get himself into these situations??

Leaving his room he found his mother tending to her sugar flowers with some help from Ramsey.

“Hello Charles, oh is everything alright dear?” She seemed to sense his sour mood but he waived her off.

“Yeah, I wanted to ask if Nealie and Emira could come stay for a bit, we’re planning on checking out that gingerbread mansion over in Grimbsy, and since I live the closest…”

She smiled softly and put her hand on Ramsay’s head petting him.

“Of course sweetie. Your friends are always welcome here. I’ll make sure to go get snacks later, you three just enjoy yourselves.”

As if on cue, the doorbell rang and Ramsey ran to go answer it, but Charlie stopped him.

“Don’t worry about it Rams, it’s just those two. I’ll get it.”

The minical nodded and stepped aside as he opened the door.

Nealie and Emira stood on the other side, their two minical, Robyn and Hoffman. 

“Geez Char-char, not going to help us with our bags?”

He frowned at Nealie, welcoming them in. “Pfft no. What would I get outta it? Just get in here so I can see whatever monstrosity of a costume I’ll be wearing…”

The two girls giggled as they entered the Banshea Manor. Commenting to Glacia that her house was lovely and thank you for having them.

Meanwhile the three Minicals ran off to go do something on their own it seemed.

🎃👻💀

Charlie stared up at the large mansion, other people crowded around but paid him and the two girls no mind as they commented on their own costumes.

“Nealie, as always your sewing is spectacular.”

“Thanks Miré! I had a lot of fun on Charlie’s vampire outfits, but seeing him in all the ruffles and velvet is such a treat!”

He felt a blush creep up his face which he rushed to cover.

“Oh well yeah, I’m more impressed with your guys outfits like seriously. Ghost bride and Mummy? You two look pretty rad. But uhh let’s get this over with yeah??”

The two girls chuckled before the three of them entered the mansion…
