A suburban doorway frames our chaotic huddle. Jolteon trembles with frantic energy. I stand relaxed, projecting calm confidence. Glaceon sways, words thick and slurred. Leafeon watches the door with sharp focus. Meowscarada opens it. Jolteon's cheeks flush; he stammers out a mangled trick-or-treat line. I step forward, nudging him aside, and lean into the doorway with a low, flirtatious greeting aimed at Meowscarada. Before I can finish, Leafeon coolly interrupts to quiz me on my grammar. A warning shot whizzes past my head. Then Glaceon lurches through, shoving me back, and screams a demand for candy into the quiet night.
