“This is fun!!!” Amity giggled. Tiny knife in hand and tail wagging in excitement, she had already carved 5 pumpkins. One was a skull, then one was a spine with ribs, then femurs; all were bone related. Classic Amity. Currently carving up the silhouette of an anatomical heart, she was clearly deep in the zone. Sitting in a small park-like patch briefly outside the city, she had thrown a tiny get together with her friends to make beautiful little halloweeny fruit art! Kye was carving a bunch of tiny, intricate seashells and flowers into a single pumpkin, while Draco had entirely given up using a bothersome knife and was now using his claws. About a dozen of unhappy, smashed pumpkins littered his feet.

Upon finishing up the heart, Amity set down the knife and held it up to examine it from side to side, humming along to the music playing on her wireless speaker while she did. Satisfied with how it looked, she set a small candle inside of it to light and set it with the others. Stretching out, she sighed in the brisk air and glanced around at the nature and her friends.

“How nice is this, huh? Friends hanging out having fun! We’re carving overgrown purple apples haha!” Even Kye gave her a glare at the joke, before letting out an uncontainable giggle. The next small period of time continued without anyone speaking. Kye had moved onto a second, while Draco was still quietly raging trying to get a single one he was satisfied with. And he was running out of pumpkins. Simply lounging back and enjoying the wind, Amity peered at her work and daydreamed about where she would put them. Crawling up into her room, brushing aside her bone collection to arrange them around the pumpkins. Maybe she could string some around them.. Yeah! That sounds like a plan.--

“ARRGH!” With a snarl and a loud crunch, the last pumpkin was thrown to the ground by the Kebanzu currently jumping to his feet in anger. “Sorry guys, but I’m not artistic.. I’m going home.” Draco grumbled, turning and waving a goodbye over his shoulder, tail swaying low to the ground behind him.

“You’re welcome for the invite!!” Kye called out to him, a pouty expression on her face.

“Relax, Kye.. I know him by now, hm.. OH! We could use what he crushed to make pumpkin pie!” She exclaimed, scooping up a relatively intact pumpkin.

“YES!”
